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

For a moment, Ding Ze's mind raced, and he thought of a bunch of random things.

At this moment, Snowwell Milden spoke up to Ding Ze and asked, "Mr. Ding, how do you feel?"

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze snapped out of his daze and decisively shook his head. "No, it's probably because we're too far apart. We need to get closer."

Snowy Milden had anticipated this outcome. Upon hearing this, he nodded and turned to Stilwell, saying, "Stilwell, it's your turn to make a difference."

Stilwell was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

“You have to go down with Mr. Ding. If anything goes wrong, bring him back up,” Snowwell-Milden said calmly.

hum.

Stilwell's eyes widened in disbelief. He exclaimed sharply, "You want me to go down there? Are you kidding me?"

Snowwell Milden calmly shook his head. "Of course not. Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

After saying that, Snowwell Milden immediately called his men to install various devices.

Naturally, Stilwell started yelling.

Ding Ze grinned, found a place to sit down, took out a cigarette, lit one, and said, "I'm going to rest for a bit. My legs are about to give out after walking for so long."

A few hours later.

Ding Ze and Stilwell, one above the other, gripped the climbing rope and were slowly lowered by the machine, gradually approaching the black giant egg below.

Stilwell didn't dare to say anything more, his nerves were on edge, and he was on high alert.

no way.

That's damn lava! If you actually fall in, you'll be completely obliterated, your body will be gone forever.

Stilwell hadn't had enough fun yet and wanted to enjoy this wonderful world a little longer.

One minute, five minutes, ten minutes.

Time passes quietly.

The temperature is getting higher and higher.

Stilwell, who was positioned below Ding Ze, felt he was about to reach his limit and couldn't help but ask irritably, "Mr. Ding, can you feel it? I'm about to be roasted alive!"

"No," Ding Ze couldn't stand the high temperature either, feeling that if this continued, he wouldn't be able to breathe. But after all this trouble, he couldn't just give up now that he'd arrived at this godforsaken place. "Let's go a little further down. If it still doesn't work, then we'll give up."

"Ugh, I really miss the Aegean Sea. I'm not answering that bastard Milden's calls again," Stilwell grumbled.

Another minute or so passed.

Sudden.

Thump~ Thump~ Thump~~~

Suddenly, a loud heartbeat entered Ding Ze's ears.

Ding Ze abruptly stopped his descent.

Stilwell sensed that Ding Ze had discovered something, and he became extremely decisive and serious, stopping his actions and even subconsciously holding his breath, not daring to disturb Ding Ze.

at the same time.

Snowwell Milden, who was above, noticed that the rope had stopped moving and instantly became excited.

Ding Ze remained motionless, listening intently.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Thump~ Thump~ Thump~~

The heartbeat was very steady and becoming increasingly clear.

But this is not the point.

The key point is that, unlike hearing that heartbeat in the Siren's Ancient City, it doesn't instinctively evoke fear...

Ding Ze inexplicably felt a great sense of peace, tranquility, and even warmth.

How is this going?

These two completely different feelings...

Something's not right? (End of Chapter)

Chapter 511 What is the truth?

Beneath Mount Fuji, above the lava.

Listening to the heartbeat that only he could hear, and feeling the eerily peaceful atmosphere, Ding Ze was momentarily lost in thought.

Several seconds passed.

Just as Stilwell was about to speak, unable to bear the heat any longer, Ding Ze snapped out of his daze... well, not entirely spontaneously, but because the heartbeat had stopped.

Just like in the ancient city of siren in Antarctica, the heartbeat only lasted for a short while before suddenly disappearing.

Ding Ze moved slightly.

Seeing this, Stilwell decisively changed the words he was about to say and asked, "What's going on?"

“It’s not easy to explain,” Ding Ze replied.

Stilwell is quite different from Snowy Milden. Overall, he's more of a doer and doesn't like to overthink things. So, upon hearing this, he didn't bother with any more words and asked, "Can we go back now? I'm practically cooked!"

Ding Ze actually felt the same way.

Such high temperatures are simply unbearable for humans; if this continues, the internal organs might actually be cooked.

Even so, Ding Ze was still debating whether to move down a little further.

Perhaps, continuing downwards will offer a different experience.

If it were in the Siren Ancient City, he wouldn't really want to go down there, because the feeling was obviously unpleasant... but here, the situation is different.

I hesitated for two or three seconds.

“I’m going to take a gamble. We have to go on,” Ding Ze said, going all out. “Elder Stilwell, it’s time for you to make a difference.”

The voice reached my ears.

Stilwell's eyes widened as he glared at Ding Ze, gritting his teeth as he said, "I knew the nickname wasn't wrong! You're a madman! Going down there? Do you know how hot it is down there?"

"If I use my ability, and something else suddenly happens, we'll both probably die here!"

"Have you thought it through?" Stilwell asked firmly.

Ding Ze grinned. As the saying goes, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub. Let's just do it. "I've thought it through. Let's go down!"

Stilwell had roughly anticipated this outcome, so what could he say? "Damn it, running into a bunch of lunatics is just my bad luck!"

Stilwell cursed once, then stopped cursing and immediately activated his abilities.

In an instant, extreme frost rapidly enveloped Stilwell and Ding Ze.

next second.

Both Stilwell and Ding Ze felt much more comfortable. At the same time, neither of them dared to delay and immediately lowered the rope again to continue.

Ding Ze already knew that Stilwell's abilities were not unlimited before he came down.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Protected by the frost, the two raced against time to descend rapidly.

At the same time, naturally, the high temperature emitted by the magma was frantically destroying the frost.

Stilwell clearly felt it and was heartbroken!

There is no other reason.

Using this ability comes at a price.

The price, to put it simply, is life! More importantly, life is lost very quickly!

You see, there's no Tree of Life here. Stilwell was genuinely worried that if he ran out of life here, well, that would be the end of him.

Seven seconds, eight seconds, nine seconds.

suddenly.

Without a sound, Ding Ze felt his mind explode, and then a huge tree, completely red and seemingly made of blood, appeared in his mind.

Ding Ze saw many strangely shaped protrusions on the blood-stained tree, but he couldn't make out what they were.

next moment.

Thump~ Thump~ Thump~~~

A loud heartbeat suddenly emanated from inside that blood-red tree!

boom! ! !

In an instant, Ding Ze understood.

Holy crap, the thing inside that giant black egg is that Blood Tree!!!

If that's the case, then what's inside that giant white egg must also be a tree!
