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

After frowning and thinking for a while, I decided that safety should come first.

Snowwell Milden took out his satellite phone and called another elder, "Stilwell, I need you to come to Mount Fuji immediately. I'm afraid I can't handle the next operation by myself."

Elder Stilwell was leisurely sunbathing on a yacht in the Aegean Sea, enjoying being fed by a young lady, when he heard this, he lazily replied, "What operation?"

Snowwell Milden explained calmly.

After listening.

Stilwell immediately became serious and sat up straight. "You mean, you want me to be the last one to lead you across the lava river?"

“Well, you should be fine,” Snowwell Milden replied calmly.

“???” Stilwell raised an eyebrow. “How do you know I should be fine? That’s lava! I’ve never tried it before!”

“There’s always a first time,” Snowwell Milden said calmly.

Stilwell grew annoyed. "Can you even speak human language?"

“Of course, stop talking nonsense and get over here right now. We don’t have much time left. That’s it,” Snowwell Milden said, and hung up the phone immediately.

Toot toot~~~

Stilwell was speechless upon hearing the voice and muttered curses for a while.

What can we do after that?

When you're in the world of martial arts, you're not in control of your own destiny; you have no choice.

Stilwell had no choice but to order the captain to dock at full speed and head to Japan.

**********

At the foot of Mount Fuji.

Ding Ze and his group arrived and met with Snowwell Milden.

Ding Ze and Snowwell Milden were not friends, so after a few brief words, he got straight to the point and started talking about business.

Snowwell Milden didn't hide anything and explained the situation. Then, he invited Ding Ze, "Go and watch the video that the last team brought back."

Ding Ze had no objections, and Janet and the other two were also very interested in the situation at the foot of Mount Fuji, so they moved along with them.

Inside a very luxurious tent.

Ding Ze and his group watched intently.

From a certain perspective, the scene at the foot of Mount Fuji is truly a world of contrasts with the scene at the foot of the Antarctic icebergs.

Ding Ze, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, couldn't help but feel sweating even while watching the video.

There's no way around it, this is a video with warmth, a very warm one.

Time flies.

Finally, after watching for a while, the image on the screen froze on the giant black egg. Ding Ze subconsciously widened his eyes and stared for a long time before he couldn't help but say, "Black is indeed unappealing. No matter how you look at it, this thing doesn't look like anything good. It looks like a rotten egg."

"Perhaps it's because it's been cooked?" Janet said, her thought process unusual. "After all, this giant black egg has been soaking in lava for thousands of years. It's normal for it to be cooked after such a long time."

“Haha, that makes sense,” Ding Ze replied with a laugh. “If that’s the case, the things inside might already be cooked.”

"That's what I said, completely off-topic," Ding Ze turned to Snowwell Milden and said, "Mr. Milden, maybe this is a rotten egg that your men haven't explored closely, right?"

"..." Snowwell Milden was speechless, truly unable to understand what was wrong with Ding Ze.

Why are all these people so unserious?

“We haven’t explored it, and there’s no way we can explore it,” Snowwell Milden replied speechlessly, “but no matter what, this can’t possibly be a rotten egg, I’m sure of it!”

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke. "Alright, since you've put it that way, let's just assume that's the case."

Ding Ze spoke ramblingly again, then turned slightly more serious and asked Snowwell Milden, "When will that Elder Stilwell arrive?"

Snowwell Milden raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. "He should have left by now, in a few hours."

“Then we’ll act first thing tomorrow morning,” Ding Ze replied decisively. “We’ll act quickly and resolve this matter as soon as possible.”

“Okay,” Snowwell Milden thought to himself.

Time passes quietly.

Before dawn, Elder Stilwell arrived and formally met with Ding Ze, after which they exchanged some perfunctory pleasantries.

Done.

As dawn approached, Snowwell Milden didn't let Stilwell rest, urging him to quickly get ready, finish breakfast, and set off.

Stilwell was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with rage. "Milden, have some decency! I've come all the way from the Aegean Sea, and I haven't even had a chance to sit down yet, and you want me to leave?"

Where is your conscience?

Snowwell Milden wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he smiled faintly and said, "What are you yelling about? Do you think I don't know your situation? Hurry up and stop talking nonsense. We're short on time. We can talk about this on the way."

Stilwell: "..." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 510 Peace, tranquility, and even warmth.

Neon lights at the foot of Mount Fuji.

Ding Ze watched with a smile and found Stilwell, who was speechless and cursing because of Snowy Milden, to be quite interesting. He seemed to be a very fun person.

He liked fun people, so he developed a certain fondness for Stilwell.

Stilwell grumbled for a while, but seeing that Snowwell Milden was simply ignoring him, he had no choice but to obediently put on his gear and then eat breakfast.

Time flew by, and everyone was ready to go.

This operation was primarily a physical activity, extremely physically demanding, and also quite dangerous... Ding Ze didn't let Janet and the other two come along, leaving them at the camp... Of course, most of the staff remained to provide protection, just in case.

Janet, Hannah, and Scarlett were not stupid women, so they didn't say much about it, only telling Ding Ze to be careful.

Ding Ze smiled and responded. Then, the group boarded the helicopter and flew towards the top of Mount Fuji.

Upon arrival, everyone rappelled down to the ground one by one.

One hour, two hours, three hours... a large number of highly professional equipment were put in place and installed one after another.

Immediately.

Snowwell Milden casually waved his hand, signaling his men to move out.

Since a suicide squad had already explored the area and confirmed that there were no other dangers below, the group wasn't too nervous.

Unbeknownst to him, several hours had passed, and Ding Ze slowly descended to the bottom of Mount Fuji, standing beside the still-dry lava river in this area.

At first glance, to be honest, this place is truly breathtaking... This kind of awe is hard to feel from watching videos; you have to be there in person to experience it for yourself.

Then, this godforsaken place is really hot, it's like the Flaming Mountains.

"It's too hot, let's get going, all of you stop dawdling, or I'll die of heatstroke," Stilwell said, his voice full of frustration as he cursed, "I was sunbathing comfortably on the Aegean Sea, why did I have to come here to suffer? I just don't understand."

Snowwell Milden completely ignored it.

The group continued forward, following the path taken by the suicide squad, heading downwards.

The journey took about three days... Considering the return trip, time was really tight, and apart from necessary stops, no one dared to waste any time and kept walking.

Such intense walking is really going to kill you... Fortunately, he had trained in the underground world and Antarctica over the past period of time, otherwise, Ding Ze really didn't think he could have persevered.

at last.

The group arrived at the same destination the suicide squad had reached last time.

soon.

The flares were fired downwards and upwards, illuminating the entire area.

By the light, the group, with their heads bowed, almost simultaneously saw the surging lava below the canyon and the giant black egg submerged in it.

next second.

Ding Ze, Snowwell Milden, and Stilwell quickly grabbed their binoculars in unison.

With the help of a telescope, the giant black egg below became much clearer.

Ding Ze examined it very carefully and saw that this black giant egg looked almost exactly the same as the white giant egg in the underground world, except for the color.

Even their volume looks the same, which is very strange.

The two giant eggs are so far apart and in such different environments, so why are they growing in the same way?

In addition...

Ding Ze thought of Alice, or rather, that ancient city of sirens.

Now, it has been proven that the surface corresponding to that giant white egg is indeed quite unusual.

What about here?

This giant black egg is submerged in lava... surely there can't be any evil creatures in that lava.

Looking at the top, there's nothing that seems amiss.

So, what's so special about this place?

Has it not been found yet?
