"Cheng Xiaofan, listen up! You'd better tell me immediately how to enter the desert oasis, don't feed me this nonsense!" Ruth roared, her voice like thunder.
The oasis from Earth's prehistoric era was, to say the least, an immense temptation for everyone.
Gazing at the beautiful scenery displayed within the externally accessible oasis in the desert, an immortal realm with swirling spiritual energy and soaring cranes, so vivid and real, yet being unable to enter, who wouldn't be anxious!
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan sneered and replied, "I simply won't tell you. Let you, you smelly woman, die of impatience!"
Ruth was so enraged she felt like biting Cheng Xiaofan, shouting hoarsely, "Cheng Xiaofan, you Chinese country bumpkin, how dare you call me a smelly woman?"
"Are you tired of living?"
*Slap!*
Cheng Xiaofan directly hung up the phone.
Hmph!
Smelly woman, you can guard the Gobi Desert properly!
This vast oasis spiritual realm, it's all my territory as a descendant of Shennong. Do you think you can just walk in if you want to?
Did I give my consent?
You're dreaming far too grandly!
At this moment.
On the Gobi Desert.
The scorching sun hung high, and waves of heat rolled across the desert.
The boundless yellow sand reflected a dazzling light under the sun.
Ruth and her group of non-human cultivators, sweat poured down them like rain, their clothes soaked through.
The fabric clung to their bodies as if they were wearing nothing at all.
"Big sister, what did that brat surnamed Cheng say?" a young woman anxiously asked Ruth.
Ruth's face was ashen, her eyes wide, and she gritted her teeth, saying, "That scoundrel, he told us to guard the Gobi Desert and then hung up the phone!"
"I really wish I could kill him right now!"
Another blonde, blue-eyed woman looked at the verdant, picturesque oasis not far away and said, "Big sister, every time we try to approach the oasis, it always maintains a distance from us. It's as if we've fallen into a maze, always circling back to the same spot."
"This can't go on!"
Ruth gazed at the desert oasis ahead, narrowed her eyes, and gritted her teeth, saying, "Everyone, don't worry. Let's try pushing forward a bit more. I refuse to believe that if that brat Cheng Xiaofan can enter the oasis, we can't!"
Upon hearing Ruth's words, the thirteen individuals immediately leaped, black wings sprouting from their sides, and flew towards the desert oasis.
The thirteen women transformed into thirteen bird-people.
A powerful aura emanated from these thirteen bird-people, their ferocious and violent presence churning the air into circles of black vortices.
They brought their legs together, transforming into long, thick snake tails that whipped through the air with crackling sounds and flashes of electricity.
A rather stout woman said dejectedly, "Big sister, we've flown back to the original spot!"
"Let's land!" Ruth's expression showed a hint of helplessness as she instructed everyone.
As the thirteen bird-people slowly descended to the ground, their wings retracted to their sides, and their long, thick snake tails transformed back into legs.
"Big sister, look, there's a tomb here!" At this moment, the young woman exclaimed, pointing at something in astonishment.
Ruth looked in the direction the woman was pointing.
Indeed, on the desert ground, there was a newly built tomb.
She immediately strode over and discovered the inscription on the tombstone: Tomb of the River Monster!
Above that, there were a few more characters: Carved by Cheng Xiaofan.
Ruth's beautiful eyes widened instantly.
What was a river monster?
Going by the name, was it a monster from a river?
But where was there a river in this boundless desert!
Could this river monster be an animal from Earth's prehistoric era?
With this thought, Ruth immediately ordered one of the women beside her, "You, go and excavate this tomb!"
"Yes!"
The woman responded, stepped forward, and waved her hand towards the tomb.
*Boom!*
A black whirlwind shot from her palm, emitting a loud noise and directly unearthing the tomb.
A pile of animal innards was immediately exposed before Ruth and the others.
Ruth's gaze swept over the innards, estimating that the so-called river monster must have been as large as an elephant.
"This is strange, why are only innards buried here?"
"Where is the body of that river monster?"
"Could that brat Cheng have eaten it?"
"How big is that brat's stomach, to be able to eat such a large river monster?"
The non-human cultivators gathered around the edge of the pit, discussing amongst themselves.
At this moment, Ruth frowned deeply.
Her eyes scanned the surroundings.
Finally, her gaze fell back to the burial pit, and she said, "This tomb was built not long ago, at most half an hour. It seems the location we are standing in is also within the oasis."
"Because this place is sealed by a barrier, we cannot perceive the situation of the surrounding oasis. One thing is certain, there is a river not far from where we are."
"This river monster should be an animal that lives in this river."
The twelve women, upon hearing her words, looked around in a daze.
They could hardly imagine that the place they were standing in was the externally accessible prehistoric oasis of Earth.
This meant that Cheng Xiaofan could also be by their side.
They simply couldn't see him.
"Sisters, over there by that sand dune not far ahead, there's a cave,"
Ruth said to the women beside her, "We came in such a hurry that we forgot to bring food. Everyone, move these innards into the cave. For lunch today, these innards will be our main meal!"
...
After Cheng Xiaofan hung up Ruth's call, his eyes began to search for the pair of prehistoric human-shaped ginseng from Earth nearby.
*Whoosh!*
Just then, his eyes lit up.
Within this oasis spiritual realm sealed by a barrier, Cheng Xiaofan's Dragon Eye Perspective suddenly activated automatically.
Simultaneously, a line of information appeared in his mind.
Upon reading that line of information, Cheng Xiaofan finally understood why his Dragon Eye Perspective could activate in this spiritual realm: it was entirely thanks to him drinking the blood of two sika deer.
The blood of these spirit-infused sika deer contained the essence of the spiritual energy from Earth's prehistoric era.
After drinking the sika deer blood, it had been refined within his body into a special spiritual essence, enabling his Dragon Eye Perspective to activate.
Cheng Xiaofan's eyes darted, and he pierced through the spiritual realm, instantly spotting Ruth directing the women beside her to move the river monster's innards into a cave not far away.
"Super!"
Immediately, Cheng Xiaofan's gaze sharpened!
He sensed from the auras of those women that they all had a pair of black arterial wings beneath their armpits, and long snake tails trailing behind them.
Overall, these thirteen women resembled bird-people more than anything else!
Could this be the characteristic of non-human cultivators?
