Chapter 21: The Pyramid Ruins

Just as Shen Fei was packing up, as he had guessed, the Egyptian and Arabian players also arrived at oases one after another. This meant that water was no longer scarce for a short period of time, and his monopoly would be broken.

Everyone in the bullet chat expressed their admiration. “I have to say that Shen Fei has really calculated everything. Dare I say that there’s nothing he hasn’t thought of?”

“Other people take things one step at a time and react accordingly. He practically foresaw everything that was going to happen in the future.”

“Is this what legendary big shots are like? He simply leaves us in the dust. Anyone that wants to be Shen Fei’s enemy is simply courting death.”

“No matter how others perform, I’m willing to call Shen Fei the best of all time. Big shot, give it your best. We’ll cheer for you at your back.”

At this moment, Shen Fei still didn’t know that the other players had already discovered oases. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t be surprised. After all, he had already predicted it.

“Let’s begin our new adventure now.”

After resting for a while, Shen Fei prepared to leave for the location indicated by the geomantic compass. It’s southeast to the oasis. A line of big golden words appeared in the air.

[Brave adventurer, you will follow the guidance of the eternal geomantic compass to the ancient land of eternal slumber, where the lament of death and the miracle of life reside. What awaits you? May God bless you and good luck to you.]

The big golden words slowly disappeared. Shen Fei couldn’t help but facepalm. The only flaw of this system was that it liked to keep people in suspense and deliberately make things sound mysterious.

‘Eternal slumber, death, life… what exactly is this place?’ Shen Fei pondered. He suddenly thought of something. “Pyramid!”

Connecting the few clues together, only the pyramid fit the criteria.

Shen Fei’s gaze landed in front of him, with a hint of profoundness and serenity. “Looks like this ruin should be a pyramid.”

Monie and Monica looked around. They did not see the shadow of the desert eagle. It’s uncertain whether it went to play or to rest. They looked a little depressed.

After all, it was rare for them to get to know a new friend. They had not even known each other for long before they were going to separate.

“We wanted to say goodbye to Mo.”

Mo was the name that Shen Fei and the rest gave to the desert eagle.

Shen Fei consoled, “It’s not like we’re not coming back. It’s fine.”

Just as the man and the two fairies were about to set off, they heard a sharp whistle. They saw that the small black dot in the sky was getting bigger and bigger, swooping down towards them. Who else could it be but the desert eagle?

“It’s Mo! Mo is here to send us off!”

Originally, Monie and Monica were crestfallen. At this moment, they suddenly became excited. They waved their hands towards the sky. The desert eagle slowed down, but it did not land on the ground. Instead, it was circling above Shen Fei’s head.

“It’s—”

An impossible guess came to Shen Fei. He heard Monie say, “That’s great. Mo said that it wants to come with us. It can’t bear to part with us.”

Monica added, “To be more precise, it can’t bear to part with our grilled fish.”

The desert eagle flapped its wings and shot forward like an arrow. However, from time to time, it would turn around to look. It was as if it was trying to see if Shen Fei and the others had fallen behind. It was like an invisible leader.

With the addition of the desert eagle, the two little fairies became even more lively. Shen Fei couldn’t help but smile. He was even more confident about this trip to the ruins.

Even though they hadn’t known each other for long, while the desert eagle was difficult to tame, once it acknowledged someone, it would become the sincerest companion one could have.

“Master, let me sense the aura on this geomantic compass first.”

The nature fairy could sense everything, and could vaguely predict the good and ill fortunes. They saw Monie fly into the air, and a warm white light enveloped the geomantic compass like holy light. Even the original geomantic compass seemed a little holy.

Monie closed her eyes, and her eyelashes fluttered. “I smell green… a scent full of life. It’s even very familiar, as if I’ve returned to a certain embrace.”

Immediately after, a black light descended from the sky, as if night had descended. It carried a sense of foreboding and danger. Monica covered her hand on the geomantic compass and frowned.

“An aura of despair lies everywhere ahead of us. The shadow of death persists. The souls that cannot find peace are wailing. They curse the people of this land day and night.”

The two completely different answers stunned Shen Fei, “Then who should I believe?”

They were doubtlessly sisters. Monie and Monica looked at each other and said in unison, “Me, of course.”

They glared at each other indignantly and said again, “Why are you imitating me!”

Seeing that the two little fairies were almost about to start a physical fight, Shen Fei quickly separated them, “Be good, now is not the time to quarrel.”

Monie pulled on Shen Fei’s sleeve, “Master, listen to me. That place is clearly filled with life. How can there be despair?”

Monica was not to be outdone. “Master, don’t listen to her. That place is very dangerous. You must be careful.”

Fortunately, these two are small. If it were two grown women, they’d probably tear Shen Fei’s clothes into tatters if they kept tugging.

“Both of you have a point.”

There should be a special reason that caused the two sisters’ predictions to be completely opposite. But no matter what, Shen Fei had to personally make a trip.

Perhaps both sisters were right, just as the system had hinted. After all, danger and opportunity coexisted. There was an old saying in Country Hua: “if you don’t enter the tiger’s den, you won’t get the tiger cub.”

Without any hesitation, he embarked on the search for the pyramid ruins.

Everyone in the broadcast room had different opinions about Shen Fei’s choice.

“Looks like the big shot has decided to take the risk. This is the right way. After all, this is a desert survival game. Choosing to farm would be boring.”

“But this is so dangerous. If something happens along the way, it’d be too late for regrets.”

“Previous commenter, why are your thoughts so pessimistic? Shen Fei is a big shot. He definitely won’t meet any accidents.”

“That may be the case, but if you take risks often, you’ll eventually run into danger. I think it’s better to be safe than sorry, and manage the oasis properly first. After all, the others are about to find oases too.”

“That’s why you’re the one who’s conservative-minded. According to the current resources and conditions, the oasis is limited, no matter how you manage it. It’s better to find new opportunities.”

“That makes sense. Otherwise, the lead would be lost. After all, others have obtained oases as well, so there’d be no difference..”
