Chapter 506: Chapter 387: The Real Treasure Trove

Zhang Xiaoman nodded, agreeing that it was indeed the best method available at the moment.

Unfortunately, his Dawn was an Electronic Warfare Special Service Ship, and its onboard scanning function only worked on units with a signal radius, unable to directly scan objects like pyramids that had no signals whatsoever.

He had read some introductions in the spaceship, if it were replaced with another special type of ship—for example, Collector Class—then it could easily scan resources and buildings directly.

"I think we should start searching from the farthest east, near the Red Sea. I’ve read documents that there are two pyramids there,"

Hu Peng, holding a map, pointed to a spot and said.

"That’s a bit too far. Since Estevan set up camp here, there must be a principle of proximity involved. We should first look around the Oasis."

Xun You suggested.

"Perhaps, we could also ask the locals first. About the incident involving my grandfather decades ago, they should have conducted investigations, they might know something."

Jannan joined in.

The group heatedly began discussing where to start in order to achieve the best efficiency.

At that time, Ciro from the Wildfire Team hesitantly walked over and quietly interrupted their discussion:

"Excuse me, are you looking for this kind of gold flower?"

As he spoke, he glanced at the Sun Flower that Zhang Xiaoman was holding.

Everyone paused, their attention instinctively focused on him.

Ciro became even more uncomfortable under their intense gaze and embarrassingly said:

"This... actually... I think I’ve seen this kind of flower..."

With his words, the expressions on Hu Peng and the others’ faces also turned into a stunned, yet somewhat puzzled look.

"You’ve seen it? Where?"

Zhang Xiaoman immediately snapped back to reality and asked.

Ciro scratched his head and then pointed towards the direction where the giant snake corpse lay, saying:

"Just now when I went to relieve myself by the lake, wasn’t it when that monster snake suddenly leapt out of the water to attack me? I remember clearly, on its body, it seemed to have one or two of these gold flowers hanging..."

"Uh... you’re saying it was on the giant snake’s body? Are you sure?"

Hu Peng said somewhat incredulously.

Ciro nodded seriously, "Yes, I am sure. It was lurking underwater. If this flower hadn’t suddenly dazzled my eyes and made me react, I might have been killed by it right then and there."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

"This... could it be that the snake came from that place?"

Hu Peng said uncertainly:

"Why don’t we go and check it out first? Since Ciro saw the Sun Flower by the lake, it should still be there."

Zhang Xiaoman nodded in agreement, also feeling surprised by the situation, not expecting that these flowers were somehow related to the giant snake.

Actually, when he was talking with Jannan and the others just now, he hadn’t specifically avoided the members of the Wildfire Team.

Although they couldn’t understand Chinese, they could clearly understand what he meant under the influence of the Communication Skill.

This was also intentional.

In Zhang Xiaoman’s plan, besides wanting to recruit Jannan, he also had another purpose in coming here.

And this purpose also involved the members of the Wildfire Team.

So, when he had mentioned the Star Alliance earlier, he hadn’t avoided these people.

Now, unexpectedly, this group had brought some surprises to him first.

The body of the giant snake was only tens of meters away, and everyone quickly arrived at the spot.

First, they checked it, saw no trace of the Sun Flower, and then walked towards the small lake by the Oasis.

However, halfway there, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly let out a soft exclamation.

Because in his Spirit Detection Technique, he had already sensed something unusual ahead.

There, at the bottom of the lake, dense Dark Energy Fluctuations appeared unmistakably.

These, perceived by their shapes, were the Sun Flowers!

Surprise flashed through Zhang Xiaoman’s eyes, but it was quickly obscured by the silvery-white glow of the Spirit Detection Technique.

It turned out that what he was looking for was actually just a short hundred meters away from him.

It was like being far on the horizon yet right before one’s eyes.

He had now also understood what had happened.

Earlier, when Ciro was by the lakeside, the giant snake suddenly burst out of the water and attacked him, incidentally stirring up several Sun Flowers, which he then saw.

Then, Ciro ran more than a hundred meters to the forest, where everyone combined forces and killed the giant snake.

Zhang Xiaoman had come from another direction, and his Spirit Detection Technique had a range of only fifty meters, so he had not noticed the scene by the lake.

Thinking back on how Hu Peng had seriously analyzed so many legends and discussed the investigation plan at length, Zhang Xiaoman couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

The others were still unaware, still bearing thoughtful expressions, apparently analyzing the connection between the Sun Flower and the monster.

Zhang Xiaoman felt embarrassed to let them continue their futile effort, so he immediately spoke up and told them the true situation.

"Ah! These... these flowers, they grow in the water?"

Hu Peng was very shocked, and upon seeing Zhang Xiaoman nod in confirmation, felt his face heat up.

Well then, it turned out all his speculations just now were a waste of sentiments.

All the talk about pyramids, mummies, geographic features— it was all his own wishful thinking.

He had felt almost like a movie protagonist solving puzzles when he spoke enthusiastically earlier.

Thinking back now, his face was truly not spared from being metaphorically slapped.

"Yin Yang Intersection, Yin Yang Intersection... the Sun belongs to Yang, water to Yin, so that place meant inside the water!"

Hu Peng let out a sigh.

"Unexpectedly, this flower, which looks so firm and masculine, turns out to be an aquatic plant..."

His face was full of disappointment, but there was also a sense of relief after knowing the truth.

By this time, he had finally come to understand.

Why Estevan had said in his last letter that others would definitely not be able to find the habitat of this flower, the secret was right here.

Jannan and Xun You also wore embarrassed expressions.

At this moment, Zhang Xiaoman didn’t know what to say to comfort them, so he simply quickened his pace and led everyone to the edge of the lake.

"Hmm... There are more of these flowers than I imagined, but they seem to be situated a bit deep. It looks like I need to figure out a way to get them out."
