Chapter 508: This Bird Is... a Cross-Dresser?

Ning Fei had just returned to the cruise ship when the government military arrived.

They stated that this was their territorial water and requested all unrelated personnel to evacuate.

Ning Fei knew the reason, but he didn't say much.

After all, Atlantis no longer existed.

"Brother, they are too much. You were clearly the one who discovered the ruins, yet these people are seizing them."

As the Qingfeng Cruise Ship sailed forward, Bai Yi grumbled in displeasure.

Ning Fei just smiled. "It's nothing, it's their territory to begin with. Besides, apart from some text and patterns, they won't find anything major anyway."

Ning Fei was right. Later on, the local government expended a massive amount of manpower and resources to conduct the largest-scale exploration of this sea area.

However, other than a few ancient characters on the seabed rocks, they made absolutely no other discoveries.

Atlantis had long since turned into volcanic rock melted deep beneath the earth.

The world would only remember the name of the discoverer.

People all over the world knew that the secret of Atlantis had been unraveled by someone from Huaxia.

Ning Fei was even written into the textbooks in subsequent world history books.

The books would read:

"In the 2030s, the ruins of Atlantis were discovered by Ning Fei of Huaxia. This confirmed the existence of Atlantis and held immense significance for the study of marine history."

Of course, Ning Fei did not care much about any of this.

Aboard the Qingfeng Cruise Ship, Ning Fei asked the System:

"System, does that lump of Ambergris have enough Spiritual Energy to hatch the Fuzhu?"

"Not enough."

The System answered simply.

Hearing this, Ning Fei didn't say anything further.

"Brother, Atlantis is gone. Where are we going next?"

At this moment, Bai Yi ran over and asked.

"To dig for treasure."

Ning Fei thought for a moment before replying.

"Dig for treasure?"

Upon hearing this, an excited gleam flashed in Bai Yi's eyes.

Who could refuse digging for treasure on the open ocean?

"Where is the treasure?"

Hearing their conversation, the netizens also pricked up their ears.

Everyone wanted to know where the treasure was. After all, Ning Fei's treasure-hunting was famous throughout Huaxia. He simply possessed an innate Treasure-Hunting Physique, something others could only envy.

"There are treasures in many places, especially in areas rarely visited by humans. There are even more there."

Ning Fei casually remarked.

Hearing his words, the netizens sighed helplessly.

Wasn't that just nonsense?

Nature was full of mysteries, and everyone knew that the more bizarre the region, the higher the chance of finding treasures.

But not just anyone could travel to such places.

"Then where are we going next?" Bai Yi asked excitedly again.

"Above the Strait of Gibraltar is Europe, and below is Africa."

"Since we're already here, let's go take a look at the African continent."

"Many places there are uninhabited year-round, and it boasts the richest natural environments and unique species."

"For example, on the Grassland, there are interesting creatures like the honey badger and the wildebeest."

"We'll go to Madagascar. The grassland there is quite nice."

Ning Fei pondered for a moment before deciding.

"Mm, alright."

Ning Fei set the coordinates, and the Qingfeng Cruise Ship continued to sail forward.

The ruins of Atlantis were slightly disappointing, but it didn't affect Ning Fei's mood.

Journeys were always like this. There were unexpected surprises, as well as disappointments after holding high expectations.

Therefore, mindset was the most important thing.

Madagascar was located off the southernmost coast of Africa. It was a massive island.

The industrial foundation here was rather weak. There were only a handful of ports, and they were all quite dilapidated.

Ning Fei thought about it and didn't plan to dock at a port.

He was not quite at ease.

Nicolas Cage starred in a movie about arms trafficking. In one scene, he parked a plane on the African grasslands and, to avoid Interpol pursuit, allowed the local residents to freely take the weapons inside.

As a result, in just one night, not only were the weapons emptied out, but the entire plane was also literally dismantled by the crowd, and its parts were carried away piece by piece.

Not even an empty shell was left.

So, he planned to "smuggle" himself in.

"Little Bai, I've set a coordinate for you. That place isn't on the main shipping routes, so almost no ships pass by there."

"Stand by there. If you encounter any danger, take evasive action on your own."

"Wait for us to return."

Before disembarking, Ning Fei instructed the intelligent steward of the Qingfeng Cruise Ship.

"Understood, Captain," the Qingfeng Cruise Ship replied.

Ning Fei's series of actions left Bai Yi dumbfounded.

"Brother, we can park like this?" Bai Yi asked in surprise.

"It's standard procedure. Let's go quickly. We're technically sneaking in right now. It'll be bad if we get caught." Ning Fei stepped onto the shore and walked forward.

"Mm, okay." Bai Yi quickly followed.

Ning Fei didn't live-stream the process of sneaking in and coming ashore.

To be fair, the agricultural industry in the countries across the African continent accounted for more than 80% of their economies. As long as they weren't here to steal crops, the authorities wouldn't pay too much attention to such matters.

For example, Madagascar was one of the least developed countries in the world. Its agricultural population accounted for 80% of the total population, and its industrial foundation was extremely weak.

Of course, Ning Fei was just joking. He had still immediately contacted the Huaxia Embassy here to request some identification documents. Upon receiving his call, the embassy gladly agreed to his request.

Both of them carried a hiking bag, while the little guys followed around them, running about freely.

The grass here was very soft. The air was slightly warm but incredibly fresh.

Bai Yi wore a straw hat for sun protection, whereas Ning Fei, possessing his skills, wasn't afraid of the sun at all.

This made Bai Yi extremely envious. Sometimes she would ask Ning Fei how he maintained his skin, never getting tanned no matter how much sun he got.

Ning Fei simply answered, "Genetic maintenance. I was born this way."

These words earned Ning Fei a helpless punch from Bai Yi's little fist.

Little Dog had been stuck on the ship for a long time and hadn't been to such a vast place in ages.

As soon as it reached the Grassland, it bolted out like a wild, joyous creature.

With Little falcon watching it from the sky, Ning Fei wasn't worried about Little Dog getting lost.

After walking forward for a little while longer, Ning Fei turned on his live-stream.

Upon entering the stream, the netizens discovered that the scene had changed. It was no longer the boundless ocean but a landscape filled with greenery, vibrant grass, and plants.

"Has Temple Master Ning reached the Great Grassland?"

"This is just a grassy field, not the Great Grassland yet."

"Good heavens, he's gone to another place I probably won't get to visit in my entire life."

"To be honest, whenever Africa is mentioned, I think of viruses. I'm always a bit prejudiced."

"That's going too far. Many African countries are our good brothers. Plus, it's sparsely populated, and most areas are untouched natural environments."

"An uninhabited natural setting must be Temple Master Ning's favorite place."

Just then, a few water birds flew across the sky.

Ning Fei looked up at the birds, his eyes immediately lighting up with joy.

"It's a ruff!"

"This type of bird is very interesting; its habits are quite peculiar."

"Does anyone know what it is?"

Ning Fei asked the netizens in the live-stream with a smile.

"I've never even heard the name, how could I know its habits?"

While new viewers were still guessing, the veteran fans had already brought out their notebooks, ready to take notes.

"It's Temple Master Ning's 100,000 obscure facts segment."

Many netizens chimed in playfully.

Then, Ning Fei revealed the answer:

"The ruff is a highly fascinating bird species."

"Many of the male birds among them like to disguise themselves as females."

"In other words, the ruff is a bona fide cross-dresser."

Hearing Ning Fei's words, the comments in the live-stream exploded at a terrifying speed.

There was no helping it; the netizens of this generation had always been...
