It was here––in a German border town almost as remote as the world's end?

Zhang Zian stared at the elfin detection message on the screen, too surprised to speak .

It had been a few days since his arrival in the small town where he was observing the operation of an aquarium . Driving from the house to the aquarium each day, he realized that this was, in fact, a tiny city on its own . The life of the residents was rich and good, but in terms of size and population, it would be a big village in China… 　　

There were only three main streets in the city and the houses were sparsely located . The restaurant which he visited on the first day was the best one here . Foreign tourists never visited the city when they visited Germany; it was so rare to come across another Asian on the street . 　　

An elfin could appear in a secluded little town like this? Not to mention a high-ranked elfin!　　

Since the elfin had indeed shown up here, Zhang Zian didn't think any further and opened up the e-map in the game, trying to look for the elfin's location .

To be honest, the last time he had captured Pi in Binhai City Library, the level of difficulty had made him nervous . Had it not been for the hints given by Galaxy in advance or stumbling upon Meng Li, the math professor at the university, then they would have returned empty-handed––even if ten Zhang Zian's had set out to look for the nameless book they probably wouldn't have found it . 　

The little German town was tiny, but had everything of every function . There was also a town library . If the elfin appeared inside the library, then he would reconsider whether he should make himself suffer such a pursuit… 　　

However, to his surprise, the icon indicating the elfin's location was not within the town, but near the beach . It was not far from him, actually––just right in front . 　　

Galaxy happened to have hidden somewhere in front, so Zhang Zian decided they might as well play hide-and-seek while looking for that elfin . 　　

He turned his head and saw Fina taking its time digging in the sand behind him . Each time it saw an object that appeared to be a clam, it took it out of the sand to check it out .

"Fina, walk faster . Aren't you cold? You'll feel warmer once you move faster," he suggested . 　　

Snowy Lionet spat at him in anger and sadness . "Pooh pooh pooh! Shut up! You fool her Majesty all day long . Don't you feel guilty about it?"　　

Fina had short hair and was indeed cold in the wind . It lifted its head hesitantly . "But… what if I miss out on the pearls because I walked too fast?"　　

"This is such a long beach . If you are too slow, then maybe the pearls ahead of you will be taken by other people!" Zhang Zian found a random excuse . "How about this: you take your time to search behind me, while I check it out in front . If I find idlers loitering in the area, then I'll send them to build the pyramids on your behalf . What do you think?"　

Fina nodded joyfully . "Sounds like a plan . But they must pay for the ticket to Egypt themselves . I'm not paying . "　　

Zhang Zian hinted to Old Time Tea with his eyes . "Grandpa Tea, keep an eye on it for me . I'll go ahead of you . "　　



Old Time Tea was also a slow walker; it wanted to take its time to enjoy the ocean's waves . After hearing Zhang Zian's words, it gestured that he could go ahead, while it would stay behind and keep an eye on everything . 　　

Nothing was likely to go wrong on this beach with no people . Zhang Zian summoned Famous and ran forward with it . If someone else saw them, they would surely think that this was a regular person walking his dog on the beach . 　　

It was hard to run on the beach, as one's entire body weight and the impact of landing fell on one single foot . Half the foot sank in the sand at each step and it was hard to pull it out . 　　

A short distance was fine, but after running for a long time, Zhang Zian's breath came heavier and heavier . 　　

It was much easier for Famous to run, as it had four legs and weighed lighter than Zhang Zian . 　　

"What's the matter? What's the rush?" it asked while running with its tongue out . 　　

"There is an elfin in front of us . Let's go there and see," Zhang Zian explained briefly . 　

"Elfin?" Famous glanced around the beach nearby . "What kind of elfin could possibly show up here? A clam elfin?"　　

"I wish . It's the River Snail Maiden in Chinese legend . God saw that I'm still single at this age, then gave me a beautiful and kind River Snail Maiden with big boobs and long legs . She cooks for me in the day and warms the bed for me at night . I don't even need to buy piles of cosmetics and designer bags to make her happy . Isn't this nice?" he answered while breathing heavily . 　　



Richard was napping in his hoodie, but was suddenly woken up . It interrupted him, "Quack! You young people should work hard . Stop day dreaming! Let me wake you up from it!"　　

It swung one of its wings and flapped it on his head . 　　

Zhang Zian was speechless . " . . . If I was not in the middle of an elfin hunting, I would turn you into buffalo chicken wings!"　　

Famous tried to comfort him, "You should have some dreams . What if it comes true?"　

Richard continued to blast, "Even if it comes true, it will never be a River Snail Maiden . Probably a toad fairy!"　　

Zhang Zian didn't have the strength to argue with Richard, as he was out of breath from running . It took advantage of his silence . 　　

After a turn, the flat coastline suddenly changed shape and formed a protruding cape at the front, stabbing the sea like a dagger . 　　

The cape was full of rocks, with an abandoned lighthouse at the end . Maybe it had been warning the ships of the reefs many years ago . 　　

Zhang Zian looked at his phone and realized that they were getting close to elfin's location, as indicated by the icon . 　　

He climbed onto a huge rock carefully, using both his arms and legs . 　　

The rock had been washed day and night by the ocean . The surface was wet and slippery, with many small, unknown shellfish attached to it . 　　

The binoculars he was carrying became useful . He looked towards the other end of the cape through the binoculars, where he saw the same endless flat beach, empty of any hiding place . Maybe both Galaxy and the unknown elfin were at the left side of the cape .

"Famous, wait for Old Time Tea and Fina here . I'm worried that they may not find us after following our tracks . I'll search around the lighthouse . After they arrive, you can come look for me with them," Zhang Zian instructed . 　　

Famous nodded, then sat down on a dry rock . 　　

Zhang Zian marched forward among the rocks, bypassing one puddle of water after another . 　　

A frightened crab waved its strong claw to demonstrate its strength, then hurried off beneath one rock to another . 　　

A golden starfish was attached to a rock in laziness, like blooming sunflowers . 　　

A spiky sea urchin was as frightening as a cactus . 　　

There seemed to be such a variety of creatures in the puddle of water . Even in a small puddle, about the size of a bowl, there were one or two small fish swimming . In a bigger puddle, about the size of a bathtub, there was even a micro ecosystem . A half-meter long octopus moved its tentacles and swallowed a small fish, which had just eaten a little shrimp . 　　

All of the fish, shrimp, sea urchins, starfish, and octopuses, had been washed up the shore by the tide? Could there be this many?
