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

"But is it possible that trees can also be terrifying?"

Snowwell Milden glanced at Ding Ze, neither agreeing nor disagreeing, and began to think for himself.

Yes.

The few Trees of Life on the surface, the eerie trees inside those two giant eggs, the trees of the Black Barrier Tribe...

Why do trees cause so much trouble?

How many secrets does this world still hold? (End of Chapter)

Chapter 514 Return to Amazon

At the foot of Mount Fuji.

After a brief digression, Snowwell-Milden continued, "One year, in one of the underground fissures, we somehow ended up in what felt like one of those things' lairs."

"Even now, thinking about that old lair still sends chills down my spine... It was a cave that looked like it was formed naturally."

"The cave is very large and oval-shaped. Inside, the rock walls on all sides are filled with countless things, I don't know exactly how many of them there are."

"We walked in without any explanation and were quite startled."

"What followed was an incredibly brutal battle. Almost all the men I brought were killed, and I almost died myself... Fortunately, in the end, we won and killed that thing."

"After the battle, I took the remaining few men and searched the cave to find out why there was so much of that stuff there."

"As they were looting, inexplicably, the remaining men fell down one after another, stopped breathing, and died in a very gruesome manner."

"I realized something was wrong; the air in that cave might be poisonous, so I ran away as fast as I could."

“After I ran away and returned to the underground world, I soon realized that my body had undergone some changes… It was a very strange thing for me.”

"A long time passed after that, and then one day I suddenly realized that I had a power."

"Then, naturally, I took Stilwell and the other three, along with a bunch of his men, back to that cave, wanting them to gain that ability as well."

"As a result, the cave was filled with that stuff again, and we had another fierce battle."

"The damn thing is, in the end, Stilwell and his three companions didn't gain any abilities."

“I don’t think this makes sense. I speculate that the cave may have changed, or that the cave can only grant abilities to one person.”

"As it turned out, I was right. Later, Stilwell and his three companions spent a considerable amount of time finding four other similar caves and gaining four different abilities."

Snowwell Milden rattled off a long speech.

Ding Ze listened quietly with a cigarette dangling from his lips, then raised an eyebrow, feeling a strange sense of familiarity with the plot, as if it were a game.

Snowwell-Milden and his group killed a bunch of mobs, and then they received their reward.

Well, no problem.

This world might just be a giant game.

Ding Ze smoked a cigarette while letting his mind wander.

Done.

Ding Ze turned to Snowy Milden, “Mr. Milden, we need to go and see the cave where you gained your powers.”

"However, before that, I think it is necessary to go to the Amazon rainforest and visit the Black Barn tribe."

“That’s what I was thinking too. Shall we set off now?” Snowwell Milden replied without any objection.

Ding Ze nodded. "Let's go."

A consensus was reached, and everyone wasted no time.

It only took about an hour to get everything ready, and then everyone got into the car and headed to the airport.

The plane from the [Eternal Life Club] will be waiting there.

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

Time flies.

The plane landed in Brazil, and everyone disembarked before transferring to another vehicle to travel to the Amazon rainforest.

After much wandering and hardship, the group finally arrived at a small town next to the Amazon rainforest in the middle of the night.

Today it is today.

Because of the large number of Ding Ze's people operating here, this town has undergone a major transformation. It has not only become much larger, but also much more modern.

Of course, this is a good thing.

It was late, and the group had traveled for so long, so they did not set off for the Black Barrier Tribe immediately, but stayed in the town to rest.

In a blink of an eye.

a new day.

Early in the morning, after breakfast, helicopters took off one after another from the makeshift airfield and flew towards the location of the Black Barrier Tribe.

At this time of year, approximately 100,000 people are busy with various tasks in this part of the Amazon rainforest located in Brazil.

At the same time, there are also a large number of helicopters and ships shuttling back and forth.

In this way, much of the mystery surrounding this part of the Amazon rainforest has already been eliminated... In fact, many of the giant pythons and super crocodiles that Ding Ze encountered when he first came here had their heads killed.

The idea that "many hands make light work" has been perfectly demonstrated here over the past period of time.

Sitting in the helicopter, Ding Ze looked down and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The destructive power of humans is truly damn strong.

Time flies.

The distance wasn't far, and the helicopter was flying in a straight line, so the group arrived above the large pit where the Black Barrier Tribe was located.

After so much effort, the workers have cleared land next to the site and built several helipads.

With the helipad, things became much easier for Ding Ze and his team. They no longer needed to go through the trouble of rappelling and could land easily.

Not long after, Ding Ze and Snowwell Milden reached the edge of the pit.

Now, going down into this huge pit is both reasonable and much easier.

“Please, we have a long way to go again,” Ding Ze said with a smile, taking the cigarette out of his mouth and looking at the crater.

Snowwell Milden responded with a smile, "I don't mind walking, as long as it's not a wasted walk."

I said a few words of nonsense.

The group slowly descended to the bottom of the pit.

After landing, Ding Ze took the initiative to explain to Snowwell Milden what had happened when he first came here: "The kind of thing you encountered was in the rock wall, and it suddenly jumped out..."

Snowwell Milden listened intently. "And then they all disappeared?"

“Yes,” Ding Ze nodded in agreement, “It’s amazing.”

“It’s also very strange,” Snowy Milden replied, “that thing in the underworld seems to be able to come back to life and is very difficult to completely eliminate.”

Why did this place disappear?

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke. "I think the strangest question is how that thing ended up here... It's quite a distance."

"What exactly is the origin of this Black Barrier Tribe?"

Snowwell Milden nodded. "I'll have someone investigate thoroughly; we should be able to find some clues."

After discussing for a while, the group moved again, crawled into the downward entrance, and went downhill.

This was Snowy Milden's first time here, so he was naturally quite curious, walking and looking around with a very serious expression.

The same goes for Hannah and Scarlett.

This passage is very long.

After walking for several hours, the group finally emerged and reached the outskirts of the half-ruined ancient city, where they saw the black tree with its enormous canopy, completely black.

Ding Ze grinned as his gaze fell on the dark tree, quite moved, "Another tree."

Snowwell Milden heard this but didn't respond, only staring intently at the black tree. "That black tree, it looks strange, very eerie." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 515 Switching Back and Forth? About to Awaken?

The Amazon rainforest, underground in the Black Barrier tribe.

Ding Zegang was lighting a cigarette when he heard this. He suddenly realized something was extremely wrong, and his eyes widened as he looked at Snowwell Milden.

Snowwell Milden noticed this and asked, somewhat confused, "Mr. Ding, what's wrong?"

Ding Ze took a deep drag on his cigarette, calmed himself down, and then spoke, "I think there's been a misunderstanding between us."

"???" Snowwell Milden asked, confused. "What misunderstanding?"

“When I first came here,” Ding Ze replied while smoking, “we pulled a girl out of the canopy of that black tree, a girl who had been soaking in it for who knows how many years.”

"Later, we followed the girl to a cannibal tribe, and then we found the Tree of Life."

“On that Tree of Life, the girl tried to trick me, so I killed her and some of her people.”
