Chapter 220 The Bermuda Triangle, Battlefield Division (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

A few minutes earlier, inside the palace.

Holding the Umbrella of Concealment, Li Qingping led Caesar step by step toward the king's bedchamber. A few seconds later, they stopped at the door of the bedchamber.

Surprisingly, the king's bedchamber was empty. The old king lay on the bed, his hands clasped together, his eyes open. A pale white scepter and a compass sat beside him.

Caesar recognized the two items: the former was the "White Scepter," a symbol of supreme royal power, and the latter was the communication device for the "Royal Court."

Before the old king fell into a deep sleep, he had mentioned to him that if anyone invaded the royal palace, the compass would briefly awaken him.

In a critical moment, the king could even use a compass to destroy the royal palace, preventing the timeless wonders treasured within from falling into the hands of thieves.

Li Qingping looked around cautiously from the shadow of the umbrella and stepped inside.

"Father."

Caesar's lips moved, and he murmured silently as he slowly emerged from under the umbrella and approached the bedside.

However, at that moment, Li Qingping's expression changed, and he suddenly called out to him:

"It doesn't seem right..."

Suddenly, a huge triangular pattern lit up on the ceiling and floor of the sleeping quarters. The two patterns then merged into a massive pillar of light, engulfing Li Qingping and Caesar within it.

Li Qingping understood whose trick this was: "Ke Aojiena" from the Wangting team—the holder of the strange fragment "Bermuda Triangle".

When they came to their senses, Li Qingping and Caesar looked up at the same time.

They found themselves above an island, with an astonishingly long tunnel directly in front of them, its interior glowing with a ghostly blue light.

Li Qingping had been here countless times, so he couldn't possibly be mistaken. That was "Whale Mouth." As long as he passed through this tunnel called "Whale Mouth," he could leave the Whale Garden and return to the real world.

But at this very moment, five figures dressed in white robes were standing directly in front of the whale's mouth, the "White King's Scepter" insignia on their robes betraying their identities:
—Wang Ting Team.

The leader of the five was a woman with long, sea-blue hair and sapphire earrings; she was none other than Ruth, the captain of the Royal Court team.

She slowly raised her ocean-blue eyes and looked at Li Qingping and Caesar.

The four people standing behind her at this moment are "Tunguska Explosion" Direje, "Tower of Babylon" Louis, "Sword in the Stone" Ryan, and "Night Parade of One Hundred Demons" Kuki Soya.

The only exception is that Keojiena, the "Bermuda Triangle," is not here. She is most likely guarding the Queen and the eldest and second princes—it was because of her tricks that Li Qingping and Caesar were transferred to the whale's mouth.

"Looks like we've been tricked," Li Qingping said softly.

Caesar was taken aback.

"Li Qingping...you should leave quickly." He said expressionlessly, his white hair blowing in the wind.

As the two were talking, in front of them, the five members of the Royal Court team, led by Lu Si, had each taken out an orange-patterned card from the Strange Tales Illustrated Book.

Seeing this, Li Qingping summoned the Record of Strange Tales while protecting Caesar behind him.

He sighed, "I didn't expect you to have such a trick up your sleeve. You're so heartless."

No one in Wang Ting's team answered. Even Louis, who was usually relaxed, had no smile on his face, because they all knew what was going to happen next.

Li Qingping continued, "You never thought we'd be stupid enough to fly to the whale's mouth on a sled, so you had Keojiena use the 'Bermuda Triangle' ability to set a trap in the king's bedchamber beforehand, using the White King's Scepter to lure us into the trap."

Just then, a long, drawn-out cry echoed from the horizon. Following the sound, two elk descended from the sky, dragging a sled, galloping towards Caesar. At that moment, the two humanoid figures on the sled had collapsed into a limp mass, gradually disintegrating in the wind and snow.

“It seems we can’t get through the whale’s mouth for now. I’ll hold them off. Your Highness Caesar, you take the sleigh and escape to the Ababaruna side to find it for help… Don’t look back. I need you to find it, understand?” With that, Li Qingping grabbed Caesar by the collar and threw him toward the Christmas sleigh that was falling from the sky, while crushing the fragments of the “Red Dragon Welsh” legend with his other hand.

In an instant, six orange streaks of light flashed and disappeared in mid-air.

The sky darkened, and the world lost its color in that instant.

When it came to its senses, the three-meter-long shark opened its eyes, slowly raised its head, and stared blankly around.

All around was a cloud of mist, and at that moment, Agubaru was plummeting at high speed in mid-air, with howling winds ravaging every inch of its body.

Yaguba Lu reacted swiftly, manipulating the dark water to form a curtain, stopping his descent, and then looking up from the water curtain.

The scene that comes into view is still the miniature garden of whales, with a blood-red twilight enveloping the world.

At this moment, Agubaru was floating directly above the sea. Strangely, no matter which way you looked, the view was exactly the same: the sea and the sky, and even the distribution of clouds in all directions was exactly the same.

It felt like... being trapped in a perfectly symmetrical space.

It is obvious that it is trapped in a corner of the miniature garden world by Koogenna's "Bermuda Triangle".

"Oh no... Is this the power of the Bermuda Triangle?" Agubaru thought. "How are Caesar and the others?"

It surged through this symmetrical space, enveloped in dark water. But no matter where it went, whether it went up to the sky or down to the ground, or east, west, south, or north, it would return to its starting point once it reached the boundary of the space, as if it were being manipulated by an invisible force.

“No, there’s no way to leave here by brute force…” Yagubaru stopped trying.

It suddenly thought, "That's it, how about using that move?"

At that moment, Agubaru's body suddenly swelled to a length of one hundred meters, its jaws snapping shut, as hard as if covered with a layer of dark metal. Its enormous beastly eyes rose high, casting a shadow that blotted out the sky onto the sea.

The colossal shark, swept along by towering waves, crashed violently toward the edge of the barrier, its blood-red maw gaping open.

At this moment, it activated the "Dark Fangs." A dark light enveloped each hard and sharp tooth, and it bit down hard at the edge of space as if it wanted to tear the air apart.

In an instant, its teeth touched the boundary of the Bermuda Triangle, tearing a crack with teeth powerful enough to annihilate all elements. Then, the entire space disintegrated like a shattered crystal ball.

To facilitate flight, Yagubaru instantly shrinks to a body length of two meters.

It hovered in mid-air, squinting its eyes, with its pupils pointing upwards.

As if wearing a telescope, the field of vision expanded countless times in an instant, until the horizon was reached, revealing the high-altitude floating islands and the magnificent buildings on them.

The palace is far from here.

"I need to go back and pick up Caesar and the others." Just as Agubaru was thinking this, he suddenly heard a loud bang behind him.

It paused for a moment, then suddenly turned its head and squinted its eyes.

On an island at the horizon, the figure of a giant, ochre-red dragon swayed precariously, its roar tearing through the sky and echoing for miles around. A towering curtain of flame rose up, scorching a cliff-like chasm into the sea.

Seawater filled it like a waterfall, instantly transforming into thousands of wisps of scorching white gas that hissed and rose into the sky.

"Li Qingping? Why is he there?"

Agubaru was startled, then suddenly transformed into a jet-black streak of light and shot forward.
