Chapter 208 Giant Form, the Unexpected Appearance of Aguru (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
On the rooftop, Caesar leaned against the railing, a palm-sized Nobel shark perched on his shoulder.

"Let's go, Agubaru... otherwise the villagers will be devoured by those creatures."

Yagubalu shook his head and said in a low voice, "No, don't rush. Judging from their speed, it will take them some time to reach the town. Before that, we need to observe whether the Royal Court team will be dispatched."

"why?"

“If you run into the royal court’s men on the road, and they take advantage of the chaos to attack you, and then lie and say that you were killed by those wild beasts, then no one can seek justice for you.”

Caesar paused for a moment, then gripped the railing tightly: "You're right."

A man and a shark overlook an island floating in the sea.

Using the fluorescent light from the falling flying fish, we finally saw clearly what the beast tide roaming the forest was.

They were a group of bizarre creatures with wolf heads, horse bodies, and snake tails, looking as if they had taken parts of each of the three animals and then forcibly glued them together.

“They’re actually snake-wolf horses…” Caesar pondered. “They are very aggressive; almost every snake-wolf horse is equivalent to a low-level Oddity Envoy.”

"Snake, wolf, horse, there are actually such magical animals? Does that mean there are also 'bear, wolf, and dog'?"

Yagubalu raised his head and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, are there many other magical creatures like this in the whale's miniature garden?"

“Yes, but I don’t know many of them.” Caesar nodded. “My father mentioned to me before… Thirty years ago, there was a very powerful race of magical creatures that lived inside the Whale Garden. They were called ‘Light Eaters’.”

"It sounds impressive just from the name."

"The Light-Eating Bee clan is incredibly powerful; they nearly wiped out the Mysterious Creatures within the Little Garden. That generation of the Royal Court team was almost completely wiped out in their battle against the Light-Eating Bees, and my 'Christmas Sleigh' comes from the dead members of the previous generation of the Royal Court team."

"And the ending?"

"The Messengers killed all the Light-Eating Bees, but on that day the legendary whale landed, and the dying queen bee escaped the Garden of Light under the cover of the other bee clans and entered the human world. The human world is not under the jurisdiction of us Messengers, so my father did not order anyone to pursue them."

Yagubaru was taken aback: "Really? You're just going to let this queen bee reproduce in the human world?"

“I asked my father this question at the time, and he said that there are many powerful forces in the human world, and they will take care of dealing with the queen bee in the future, so there is no need to worry.”

“That’s true… but thirty years have passed, who knows how many powerful bee swarms that queen bee has bred by now.” Yagubalu sighed. “What if they take over the human world? Hasn’t your dear father considered how serious that would be?”

It wagged its round tail. "Even just giving a heads-up and letting people outside look for where the queen bee is hiding would be better than keeping quiet."

Caesar shook his head: "Father only cares about things inside the Garden of Shadows, and he said... there are many humans outside the Garden of Shadows who are stronger than the Royal Court team, so I don't need to worry."

"Actually, you just don't want to take responsibility," Yagubaru said quietly. "If outsiders find out that you sent such a monster into the human world, it will definitely drastically worsen the relationship between the two sides."

Caesar said in a low voice, "Father said that he also regrets it, but there is no need to mention it now... Perhaps when the Queen of the Light-Eating Bees fled the Garden, she happened to encounter a powerful person from the human world and died in the deep mountains and forests, which is why no one noticed for decades."

“That’s just wishful thinking,” Yagubaru said. “Your father seems pretty irresponsible too.”

Caesar fell silent.

He didn't want to admit it, but Agubaru was right. If he had been in his father's shoes, he would have made a different choice.

Yagubalu thought to himself, "Even the previous generation of the Royal Court team could only barely manage a draw against this Light-Eating Bee Clan, ending in a tragic near-total annihilation. That means this race at least has the potential to be a natural disaster."

"The king released the queen bee into the outside world and allowed her to reproduce silently in a place unknown to anyone for thirty years. How strong must their fighting power be? I estimate that only the monsters of 'Rainbow Wing' and 'Lake Hunter' have a chance to wipe out the Light-Eating Bee clan in one fell swoop."

As his thoughts drifted to this point, Agubaru couldn't help but take a deep breath, thinking to himself, "It sounds like you people from the Little Garden have done quite a few bad things too. You're really quite immoral."

It licked its little sharp teeth and sneered inwardly, "Don't complain if I, Shark, eat you. It's just karma."

“It seems the Royal Court team hasn’t been dispatched yet, but the townspeople have already heard the commotion,” Caesar said. “Let’s hurry and get going, Agubaru.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-haired, blue-eyed boy summoned the Gazetteer of Strange Tales and took out the generational-level Strange Tales fragment "Christmas Sleigh," holding it in his palm. The orange light patterns on the back of the card flickered in the darkness, like a swaying candle flame.

"and many more!"

Agubaru suddenly called out to Caesar, extended his fin, and pointed to Li Qingping, who was sleeping against a tree in the yard: "Why don't we bring that pig along too?"

“No need…” Caesar shook his head. “Agubaru, I don’t want to depend on Li Qingping for everything.”

"Oh, then you can sit on my lap first... Your Christmas sleigh is too noisy, it will definitely wake up Li Qingping."

As he spoke helplessly, Agubaru manipulated the dark water to lift his body and leap forward.

Its size expanded rapidly under the night sky, instantly transforming into a three-meter-long dark blue great white shark. Even its species seemed to have changed, with every angle of its body becoming cold and sharp, as if it were made of dark metal.

Caesar was taken aback. "What are you still doing? Hurry up." Agubaru turned around, his cold, dark blue eyes reflecting the face of the white-haired boy.

Caesar nodded. He was still not quite used to the appearance of Agubaru, but he quickly climbed up the railing, stepped on it, and jumped forward onto its back.

Yagubaru flicked his sword-like tail and warned, "Hold on tight to my dorsal fin, or I'll throw you off if I go too fast."

Caesar silently complied, holding the illustrated book of wonders in his left hand and grasping Agubaru's hard dorsal fin with his right.

Yagubaru's body was enveloped in rings of dark water, and like a small airplane, it flew down from mid-air and sped towards the island.

At this moment, it seemed to transform into a giant, dark bird, its head becoming a sharp beak that pierced the air and tore through the sky. It swirled its body in the dark water, spiraling downwards as fast as a dark blue shooting star.

With a whooshing sound, the oncoming gale and dark vortex ripped at Caesar's body, soaking his clothes. He gritted his teeth and gripped the dorsal fin tightly, refusing to let go despite the immense wind pressure and current.

He squinted, trying to make out the scene in mid-air.

Agubaru growled, "I can stop this horde of beasts! But I might not be able to guarantee your safety, Caesar. Remember to call out the sled later!"

"Aguru, can you manage all by yourself?!"

Are you asking about Shark?

As soon as he finished speaking, Agubaru suddenly smirked, and his body expanded like a parachute, revealing a giant shark that was forty meters long.

Enveloped by a massive, dark ocean tide and howling air currents like a storm, it crashed down to the earth.

Finally, the giant shark stopped ten meters above the ground, and the air pressure it created was enough to completely crush a forest beneath it.

Caesar was utterly shocked, feeling as if he were sitting on a smooth hill, his body uncontrollably sliding down, unable to hold onto that huge fin anymore.

He swayed in mid-air like a kite with a broken string. At that moment, Caesar crushed the "Christmas Sleigh" in his hand. In the midst of the dizzying spin, an orange light flashed by, and a long cry resounded through the sky!

In an instant, two elk dragged a crimson sled down from the sky, braving the wind and snow to meet Caesar as he fell from the shark's back, catching him in their mouths and carrying him to the top of the sled.

Caesar struggled to his feet, leaning against the edge of the sled, gazing down at the colossal creature that had crushed a forest, and murmured incredulously:
"Could it be... Aguru?"

The snake-wolf horse had already galloped down from the mountaintop. Their faces were ferocious, and their countless hooves kicked up a cloud of sand and stones, which looked like a sudden sandstorm from a distance.

The sound of horses' hooves almost drowned out the whole world.

However, at this moment, the dust and mist in the forest had dissipated, and the enormous shark was exposed to the night. Its body was pressed against the slope of the cliff, like a collapsed dark blue mountain, with trees crushed into mud beneath it.

Amidst the flying sawdust, Agubaru raised his dark blue pupils, reflecting the approaching horde of beasts within them.

It flew upwards with a dark current of water like the rising tide of the sea, crushing tens of thousands of trees and carving a bottomless ravine on the hillside, before thunderously meeting the herd of snake-wolf-horses rushing from above.

But just before they were about to collide with the beast tide, Agubaru suddenly seemed to doze off and lay motionless on the ground.

It bared a row of sharp fangs, opened its abyss-like maw with a blissful and dazed expression, and then happily wagged its tail, smashing a forest to pieces.

"Thank you for the hospitality," Agubaru thought to himself.

In the next instant, as if in an exaggerated cartoon, the giant shark's open mouth suddenly swelled up, becoming even larger than its body.

Hundreds of snake-wolves and horses charged straight into the bottomless cave, then, as if on a roller coaster, slid down the steep throat and into the giant shark's unfathomable belly, leaving no echo for a long time.

After swallowing a large horde of beasts, Yagubalu let out a "roar" and closed its mouth. Its body then shrank rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, it became a small shark the size of a palm.

It sat obediently in the middle of the collapsed forest.

As if still digesting, it closed its eyes and touched its round belly with its fins.

A moment later, the little shark suddenly burped, then opened its bright eyes and looked at the panel that popped up in front of it.

[You have consumed 2 "Common" level Oddity Fragments and 12 "Universal" level Oddity Fragments, triggering the effect of the exclusive training system "Oddity Gluttony," increasing your actual size by 10 meters.]

[The size change of Unit 3 – the Eternal Abyss Shark "Agubaru": 151 meters → 161 meters.]

Yagubaru raised his eyebrows smugly, revealing a row of small, sharp teeth. "I knew it. These animals must have ingested some of the strange tale fragments."

It slowly raised its head, looked at Caesar who was sitting on the Christmas sleigh, completely stunned, and gave him a look: "What are you doing? Why aren't you here to pick up Shark?"
