People are watching American TV shows, and they are also watching American-style iaido.

Soon.

The fleet was moving at a snail's pace.

Ding Ze lit a cigarette and stood side by side with Janet in front of the railing, looking at the shore not far away. To be honest, he felt a chill run down his spine.

On the lush, verdant bank, there were countless snakes of all sizes.

In broad daylight, the snake was curled up on the grass and trees, constantly flicking its tongue in their direction, as if it regarded them as prey.

"We've stumbled into a snake pit," Janet said in a low voice, unable to bear the horrifying sight.

Ding Ze deeply agreed and nodded, "You could say that."

Since the Tree of Life is hidden somewhere here, Ding Ze believes that there must be some giant pythons here, and there must be quite a few of them.

If that's the case, things probably won't be easy from here on out.

Thinking it over, Ding Ze didn't hesitate and quickly turned on the walkie-talkie, instructing, "This is the last stop. Everyone, get ready. There are too many snakes here, and I estimate there are many giant pythons."

A barrage of responses immediately came through the walkie-talkie.

Immediately afterwards, all the crew members on the ships busied themselves, loading all the weapons they could use onto their bodies.

This kind of scene is really quite frightening.

The young girl, Carly, watched with a very complicated expression.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.

The fleet managed to navigate safely, avoiding one reef after another, and successfully reached the end of this tributary.

This tributary is a dead end, ending at a huge lake, on the other side of which is a steep cliff.

A rather large waterfall hangs on the cliff, its source being another tributary.

See here.

Ding Ze was immediately delighted.

He recognized the place; it was the final destination in the popcorn movie "Jungle Cruise."

Of course, some details have changed.

This is very interesting.

Ding Ze immediately thought of Emily Blunt, the female lead in "Jungle Cruise".

There is no other reason.

That woman has a really great presence; if he had the chance, he'd love to f*** her.

It's a pity that the woman didn't show up, judging from the current situation.

Soon.

At the request of the young girl Carly, the fleet stopped in the middle of the lake.

Without delay, the young girl Carly immediately ordered the cannibals brought by the old man to go into the water with her and open the mechanism.

Of course, the girl Carly told her where the mechanism was and how to open it.

Soon, plop plop plop~~

Without hesitation, the group jumped into the lake and, like fish, nimbly swam to the bottom.

One minute, two minutes.

Suddenly, a deafening cracking sound rang out from the bottom of the lake and the cliffs on the other side of the lake.

The mechanism has been opened.

A few seconds later, the waterfall hanging on the cliff gradually shrank in size, and then a huge stone gate slowly appeared at the bottom of the cliff, and the stone gate was slowly opening.

Meanwhile, the water level of the lake is slowly decreasing.

At this moment, Carly and the others surfaced one after another and climbed onto the boat.

“Boss,” Carly said without wasting any words as soon as she boarded the ship, and immediately walked up to Ding Ze, pointing to the stone door on the cliff, “We have to go in.”

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze did not delay and immediately ordered the fleet to continue its journey.

The boat captains had never heard of such a large mechanism here before, and they were all shocked. Upon receiving the order, they did not hesitate and set sail again.

Because, well, how should I put it?

Those who dare to make a living in the Amazon rainforest are no ordinary people. Now that they've encountered something like this, there's no reason to back down; they have to take the plunge and turn their bicycle into a motorcycle.

The fleet moved forward little by little, and before long, one ship after another passed through the now wide-open stone gate and entered the space behind it.

The space behind the stone gate was enormous, and it was permeated with a primal, extremely cold atmosphere, as if countless people had died here.

This is true.

Thousands of years ago, cannibalistic tribes did indeed kill many, many people here in order to keep the secret.

The remains of those people are still at the bottom of the water, clearly visible when illuminated by the light.

Janet started to feel uncomfortable as she watched.

There were so many skeletons at the bottom of the river that they completely covered the riverbed, which was truly horrifying.

Besides the skeletons, there are also a bunch of strangely shaped stalactites here.

These stalactites, along with the skeletons and the pervasive chill of the area, create a truly bizarre and fantastical world.

Ding Ze looked around quietly and couldn't help but feel that this place was like a huge tomb.

That stone door is the tomb entrance.

They came to rob the tomb.

Hehe, this is getting exciting! (End of Chapter)

Chapter 401 The Giant Tree of Life, The Snake Tide

Under the command of the young girl Carly, the fleet moved forward slowly at a minimum speed.

Because this place looked incredibly eerie, with stalactites that, upon closer inspection, resembled monsters, the entire fleet remained quite quiet, with no one making a fuss.

Time flies.

Suddenly, illuminated by the lights, a massive tree, so enormous it was almost frightening, came into view diagonally ahead.

Upon seeing this, Ding Ze subconsciously took a deep drag on his cigarette, wanting to shout that the world is vast and full of wonders.

He thought that the big tree he saw a few days ago at the place where he found the girl Carly was strange enough, but he never expected that there would be another mountain higher. This Tree of Life here is even taller and bigger, just like a mountain.

That's absolutely outrageous.

Soon, the fleet docked.

On the shore is a large, flat stone platform. This platform was obviously not formed naturally, but was artificially created by a cannibalistic tribe thousands of years ago.

In fact, looking around, there are traces of human intervention in many places, such as the stone steps behind the stone platform.

The stone steps wind upwards, seemingly leading all the way to the Tree of Life.

Such a long and exaggerated stone staircase must have taken a lot of people to build back then.

Not long after.

The group disembarked one after another and arrived at the stone platform.

“Boss,” Carly said as she approached Ding Ze, “Let’s go up.”

This place is not far from the Tree of Life in a straight line, but that is obviously an illusion. In reality, it is quite far because even with a flashlight, Ding Ze could not clearly see what was on the Tree of Life.

Therefore, the Tree of Life, which was still lush and green despite not receiving any sunlight, remained in an unknown state. Ding Ze dared not be careless and did not move rashly. Instead, he asked the girl Carly, "Is there a snake on that Tree of Life?"

The girl, Carly, blinked, then looked quietly at the Tree of Life, and shook her head. "There are none on the tree; the snakes are all at the roots."

The place where the Tree of Life is located is actually a huge pit, and what people can directly see is only a small part of the Tree of Life.

The rest of the Tree of Life was in the pit, and the group could not see it for the time being.

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze frowned slightly and asked the girl, Carly, through the old man, "You don't seem afraid of those giant pythons."

Carly smiled slightly, "Why should we be afraid? Those snakes are just food. We're not afraid of food."

Ding Ze: "..."

Okay, that makes sense.

After a moment of silence, Ding Ze nodded and then instructed his employees to be on high alert and begin moving in full gear.

Before long, one person after another stepped onto the stone steps and went up.

The young girl, Carly, led the old man and other cannibals, walking at the very front and quite quickly.

This is very interesting.

As Ding Ze gazed at the girl Carly's retreating figure, a suspicion he had harbored on the road before intensified.

Ding Ze strongly suspected that the girl, Carly, had little to do with repaying a debt of gratitude; rather, she had ulterior motives.

The question is, what are they plotting?
