Pet King Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174 - Surfer

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The beach of Cleopatra’s bathroom was rarely visited, but it was not entirely empty all the time. Some tourists were curious to see the legendary place where the queen bathed. Others just found that there were too many people on the two popular beaches, Agiba Beach and Gharam Beach, to find a quiet place.

Zhang Zian was not in a hurry to find Galaxy and Famous, and he instead observed the movement of the car to see whether the people in the car belonged to the former or the latter. If the latter did not matter, if it were the former, he would go ahead and put Sihwa into his mobile phone.

The car caused dust to fly up around it as it drove closer and closer.

Other elfins, like Fina and Old Time Tea, also heard the sound of the car engine, but they had not yet seen the car itself, while Zhang Zian could see the reflection of the front window glass.

Fortunately, the car did not continue to approach. It stopped at a distance where he could barely see its shape, about one or two kilometers away from Zhang Zian. It did not seem to be coming to Cleopatra’s bathroom for sightseeing.

Zhang Zian adjusted the focal length of Nekhbet’s camera. Through long-focus lens observation, he saw a middle-sized young man get out of the car wearing a tight swimsuit, take a surfboard out of the trunk, clamp the surfboard under his armpit, and walk to the beach.

So it was a surfer.

Surfing was not very popular in China, but it was very popular abroad. Adventure-loving young people danced with the waves on surfboards. Sometimes they stood proudly on the waves and made various difficult movements. Sometimes they passed through the tube-shaped curtain hole formed by huge waves and enjoyed the pleasure of accelerating adrenaline secretion. They even became addicted to it because of this and made bystanders sweat for them no matter what. Whether it was in terms of just for fun, being watched, or competitiveness, both were very strong.

However, while this sport looked very shocking and scary, it was not as dangerous as it looked.

Surfing was the safest of all extreme sports. It was many times safer than skateboarding, cross-country cycling, bungee jumping, skiing, parkour, parachuting, diving, rock climbing, and other extreme sports. Even if one fell, they would only fall into the gentle embrace of the sea. The probability of sports injury and direct physical injury was close to zero.

Even if it was a young girl new to this with not much experience and only knowing how to swim, they could easily learn how to surf.

Of course, just like any competitive sport, it took a certain amount of talent and a lot of time to practice surfing and amaze the spectators and attract the attention of the girls.

Some wealthy surfers would even travel all over the world to experience the huge waves in different sea areas, which required courage. After all, in the face of unknown sea areas, everything was unknown.

There were three kinds of dangers that surfers may face. One was sudden bad weather, the second was sharks, and the third was overestimating their ability to challenge the huge waves that they couldn’t cope with.

There were definitely no sharks in the Mediterranean sea, at least no man-eating sharks, but news of shark bites or injuries to divers had occurred more than once near several famous tourist attractions in areas of Egypt near the Red Sea. The latest incident had happened in August of 2018.

That surfer seemed to also have seen Zhang Zian and raised up an arm to wave at him from afar, as a way of greeting.

Zhang Zian also waved his hand in response.

The surfer paused for a moment, then waved and carried his surfboard to the beach. He made several warm-up preparations, carefully wet his body to adapt to the temperature of the sea water, and walked into the sea.

Surfers would lie flat on the board and paddle with their hands and feet alternately, driving the board to deeper waters, and observe the movement of the waves. When the appropriate waves had formed and were approaching, the surfer adjusted the direction of the board so that the head of the board was facing the shore. He would paddle along the direction of the waves.

When the board reached a high enough speed, he would stand up from the board, both knees bent slightly with one foot in front with the other foot behind, adjust his center of gravity with both arms to maintain balance, control the direction of the board through the strength of the legs and shoulders, and successfully ride the wave.

The surfer held his hand in a fist and yelled out happily.

This person was not a novice but was not very skilled. He should be a surfing hobbyist. Of course, he was much better than Zhang Zian, who could not surf at all.

Zhang Zian observed for a while and made a judgment that the surfer would not cross paths with Sihwa, because he would evidently avoid the rocks on the seashore in order to avoid danger when surfing.

Since it was like that, there should be no problem leaving it be.

Furthermore, the surfer was totally engrossed in his shocking and dangerous exercise and did not have time to observe the place near the shore.

Thinking about that, Zhang Zian no longer observed the surfer and continued to play hide-and-seek.

It didn’t take him long to catch Famous, who had a helpless expression on its face. It had thought it was hiding, but it didn’t know that he could see half of its tail from its hiding place through the sky eyes of Nekhbet.

“You’re too weak. You have to practice hard in the future,” he said sadly, encouraging it.

“Please let me off. I don’t need this kind of practice at all,” Famous muttered in its heart, lying back under the parasol, its whole body lacking in energy.

Finding Galaxy was the real challenge. Zhang Zian pulled himself together and made up his mind to win hide-and-seek this time.

He looked down at the remote control as he walked past the parasol and suddenly heard Fina spit out a strange word.

“Harmattan.”

“Huh?”

He thought he had heard wrong and asked, “What did you say? Denmark?”

Fina squinted her eyes, gazed into the distance, and repeated the word again. “Harmattan.”

This time, he heard it clearly, but he still did not understand it.

Zhang Zian looked to Richard. The reason for keeping a bird for a thousand days was for its use for a moment. The stupid bird, which was known to be proficient in the languages of all nations, should know what the word means, right?

“Gah gah! Even if you make seductive eyes at me, I can’t help even if I want to…” Richard spread out its wings, expressing that it did not know either.

Since it was like this, then it was probably not a kind of foreign language but some kind of fixed phrase.

“Zian, there are winds starting up in the far distance, and their strength is not small.” Old Time Tea also squinted its eyes and looked in the same direction as Fina.

Zhang Zian looked in that direction only to see that the sky over there had lost its original blue, turning gray like that of Cairo. It was a growing trend.

With frost in her eyes, Fina murmured, “The raging desert and the raging god Seth have brought a harmattan to the world! This is a demonstration to warn me away from the western desert… Hmph, why would I be threatened by him?”

Zhang Zian understood now after being troubled for such a long time. Harmattan was the name of a kind of wind.
