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

**********************

The stone steps are winding and narrow, probably due to the terrain, making them a bit strenuous to walk on.

It took the group almost an hour of winding and circuitous walking to finally reach the top.

Although the top is not directly connected to the Tree of Life, it is almost connected by a parallel stone path.

The stone path is built directly on an incredibly thick tree branch, and it seems quite sturdy. However, after so many years and with so many people walking on it, it's hard to say whether it will collapse.

Ding Ze was pessimistic about this, and then looked down.

Below was a bottomless abyss, utter darkness, and nothing could be seen.

Ding Ze wanted to confirm whether the giant pythons were down there, so he didn't delay and immediately took two cold flames from his backpack, lit them, and threw them down.

The two cold flames fell for a long time before finally landing.

Wow, wow, wow!

First of all, this Tree of Life is at least two hundred meters tall, and may even be close to three hundred meters.

Secondly, below, around the tree roots, there were countless giant pythons writhing and twisting... It was exactly the same scene depicted in the movie "Anaconda".

That's absolutely disgusting.

Ding Ze felt a little nauseous, and Janet felt even more so. They quickly looked away and exclaimed in surprise, "Jesus!"

Ding Ze understood perfectly and shook his head. "It seems there are other entrances and exits here, otherwise those giant pythons wouldn't be able to get here."

This place is too big. After entering, Ding Ze kept observing, but unfortunately, he did not find any other entrances or exits.

Carly didn't say anything and walked straight ahead silently.

The old man and the other cannibals immediately followed.

Seeing this, Ding Ze quickly made a gesture, signaling the people behind him not to move for the time being.

He felt increasingly uneasy, and even began to doubt whether this Tree of Life was truly the Tree of Life.

Time passes by second by second.

The young girl, Carly, along with the old man and other cannibals, successfully reached the Tree of Life.

At this moment, the girl Carly realized that Ding Ze and the others hadn't followed. She turned around and asked in confusion, "Boss, what's wrong with you guys? We still have to move forward."

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze grinned and said, "We'd like to take another look at this Tree of Life. By the way, what should we do if we want to achieve longevity?"

The young girl, Carly, did not remain silent and immediately replied, "There are two methods. One is to wait for the Tree of Life to bloom. This Tree of Life blooms once every hundred years, and each bloom lasts only twelve hours."

"If you obtain that flower within those twelve hours and consume it, you can live a long life."

"The second method is that there are two springs of life on the main trunk in front. Drinking a mouthful of that spring water can also prolong life."

Ding Ze heard it clearly: "The price of longevity is to stay in the Amazon rainforest forever?"

Carly nodded. "Mm."

“I don’t want that kind of longevity,” Ding Ze replied decisively with a smile.

The young girl, Carly, smiled slightly. "Don't you want to see those two fountains of life?"

Ding Ze smiled and pondered for a moment.

If this girl truly had other intentions, her target would probably be those two springs of life.

Therefore, if you don't go along with it, you probably won't get the answer.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Ze realized he really wanted to know what was going on, so he smiled and nodded, "I do want to see. Okay, I'll head over now."

After saying that, Ding Ze didn't delay. He immediately perked up and carefully lifted his foot to move forward.

One step, two steps, three steps.

Nothing happened. The stone slab bridge is really well-made; it has remained incredibly sturdy for thousands of years.

Ding Ze and his group gradually arrived at the other side of the stone bridge.

By this time, the young girl, Carly, had already led the old man and the other cannibals some distance away. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 402 You're still too green to mess with me.

On the Tree of Life, beneath the darkness.

Ding Ze and his group, carrying flashlights, moved slowly toward the girl Carly and her group.

Carly and her group walked quickly, as if they were very familiar with the place.

This is rather strange.

Putting aside the young girl Carly... do the old man and his gang of cannibals come here often?

Ding Ze increasingly felt that there was a huge problem with this matter, as if a massive pitfall was waiting for them.

Based on this feeling, the right thing to do is to retreat in time to avoid being trapped.

But he really wanted to know what this pit was.

In that case, he thought he might be a cat; after all, curiosity killed the cat.

However, cats can also prepare in advance.

Ding Ze thought for a moment, then mobilized all five Gu worms, ordering them to directly enter the bodies of the girl Carly and her group. If things went wrong, he would strike first and kill them all.

soon.

The worms took their positions very smoothly... It's worth mentioning that the old man and his group didn't react at all, but the girl Carly seemed to have sensed something.

The moment the Fire Gu worm entered the girl Carly's body, Carly abruptly stopped, lowered her head, and examined herself.

Ding Ze noticed this and was genuinely surprised.

You should know that these Gu worms have killed so many people, and no one has ever noticed their existence.

This girl, Carly, is really a bit strange.

Fortunately, the girl, Carly, was only slightly strange, not extremely strange. Two seconds later, she started moving again, and the existence of the Gu worm could not be confirmed.

Ding Ze saw this and smiled happily.

Time flies.

This tree of life is so large and winding that there are no ordinary paths.

The group walked cautiously for about half an hour before stopping, led by the girl Carly.

“We’re here,” the girl, Carly, turned around and said to Ding Ze in a calm tone.

Ding Ze was a bit far from the girl Carly. Hearing this, he nodded, then turned to Janet beside him and whispered, "Wait here for me, I'll go check it out."

Janet was a very intelligent woman, and she had already sensed that something was wrong. Upon hearing this, she nodded immediately without hesitation.

Ding Ze didn't say anything more. He lit a cigarette, smiled, and walked towards the girl, Carly.

Upon reaching the girl Carly, he took a closer look.

In front of them were two small ponds, almost identical in size and arranged symmetrically, each containing roughly the same amount of liquid...

The liquid was very white, like milk, and was not real spring water.

Ding Ze froze, and subconsciously frowned.

Let's leave the liquid aside for now...

Damn it, this scene is remarkably similar to the scene on the canopy of that big tree in the [Black Barrier] tribe!

The difference is that the canopy of the big tree in the [Black Barrier] tribe has only a 'pond', and it is filled with black liquid.

Here, there are two 'ponds' filled with a white liquid.

coincide? ?

Absolutely impossible! !

How could two ancient trees of such outrageous size have such an essential similarity?

impossible!

Ding Ze took a deep drag on his cigarette, then turned to look at the girl, Carly. "This place looks a lot like the place where we rescued you."

The young girl, Carly, nodded immediately. "We all live in the Amazon rainforest, so it's not surprising that the Black Barrier tribe created such a strange entity."

Ding Ze smiled and said, "I suddenly remembered that you haven't told me why the Black Barrier tribe soaked you in there."

“I only have guesses, no definite answers,” said the girl Carly. “I guess they want to transfer my power to that black tree through that method.”

"But this is just wishful thinking on their part."

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke, didn't ask any more questions, and thought for a moment, "So, as long as you drink a sip of this spring water, you can live a long life?"

Carly nodded, her reply brief and direct, "Yes."

"That's amazing," Ding Ze said with a smile, then made a move to leave. "Alright, we've seen it all, we should go now."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Ze turned to leave.

Immediately.
