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

"Later, I went back to find that cannibal tribe, only to discover that the remaining cannibals had all disappeared and I had no idea where they had gone."

“I have always believed that the girl and the cannibal tribe are related to your Longevity Club.”

"Now, judging from your appearance, that's not it?"

Snowwell Milden's eyes widened slightly after hearing this, and he shook his head decisively. "Irrelevant! We did send people to be stationed here long-term to monitor the area where the Tree of Life is located, to ensure that no one discovers the strangeness of the Tree of Life."

"But the people we sent are all warriors, stationed outside the Amazon rainforest, not cannibals."

Words spoken.

Snowwell Milden raised an eyebrow, noticing a key point. "Mr. Ding, are you saying that there's also a peculiar little lake in the canopy of that black tree over there?"

"That girl had been soaking in there for hundreds of years, and when you found her, she was still alive?"

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke and nodded, "Mm."

Having received an affirmative answer, Snowwell Milden paused for a moment, then said, "So, the function of this black tree is almost the exact opposite of that of the trees of life outside."

"The function of the Tree of Life can basically be described as taking the lives of others."

"The function of this black tree can be described as solidifying life."

"And this color makes it hard for me not to think of that giant black egg."

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's what I think too... But, compared to that, what I care about more is that girl and that cannibal tribe."

"I have a feeling that I might not have actually killed that girl. That cannibal tribe might have played a very important role in this whole affair."

Snowwell Milden had just heard the story and didn't have enough information to comment on it. After thinking for a moment, he asked Ding Ze, "Your people have been active in this Amazon rainforest for a long time, but they haven't found those cannibals yet."

"You think those cannibals have left?"

Ding Ze couldn't say for sure either, but he basically shook his head instinctively. "I don't think they've left. I think they're definitely still somewhere here, it's just that we're having a hard time finding them."

Snowwell Milden smiled slightly. "If it's still here, then we'll definitely find it; it's just a matter of time."

The two discussed this for quite a while before pausing because they couldn't reach any concrete conclusions.

The group then proceeded and entered the ancient city.

Snowwell-Milden was very interested in the ancient city, so he walked around and looked at it very carefully.

Ding Ze had looked at it several times but found nothing, so he gave up and didn't bother anymore.

Time flies.

The group left the ancient city and arrived at the edge of the large pit under the black tree.

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

Beneath the black tree, beside the large pit, the person in charge of the project had been waiting for a long time. Upon seeing Ding Ze, he immediately went up to him and said, "Boss."

Ding Ze looked into the pit, paying particular attention to the roots of the black tree.

Ha ha.

There, thick, ugly, and even frightening tree roots stretched all the way to the bottom of the pit, seemingly without end.

Ding Ze looked away, turned to the person in charge, and smiled, "Tell me about the progress."

The person in charge didn't mince words and quickly provided an explanation.

To be honest, there hasn't been much significant progress.

Thousands of workers worked day and night in shifts in the pit, digging little by little down the tree roots... Digging wasn't difficult; the soil below wasn't hard, it was rather loose.

The problem is... the roots of the black tree seem to have no end in sight.

The workers have been digging for so long, but they still can't see any hope.

"Furthermore, after research and testing, the experts have determined that this black tree is not essentially a tree, but rather something similar to an animal, or rather, it can switch between two states."

The person in charge added, "Some experts believe that this black tree has been dormant all along, so it just looks like a tree, and no matter how much we try to disturb it, it doesn't react at all."

"But one day, this thing will break its dormancy..."

"At that time, something huge will probably happen."

After listening, Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke and, to be honest, agreed with the statement.

After all, the white giant egg was making more and more noise, and the black giant egg was also very strange... It felt like many things on this planet that were previously unknown were about to emerge one after another.

After thinking for a moment, Ding Ze threw away his cigarette butt and turned to Snowwell Milden, "Mr. Milden, what are your thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, Snowfield Milden glanced at Ding Ze, then looked into the pit, and after a moment's thought, said, "I want to go down and take a look. Something's not right about this place."

"This black tree, whatever it is... its appearance is hard to explain."

“Looking at the ancient city behind us, it’s clear that the Black Barrier tribe has been active here for a long time.”

"Also, Mr. Ding, you said that when you first came here, there were many strange creatures..."

"Based on my experience... I discovered that strange creature near that giant white egg..."

"This black tree shouldn't have much to do with that giant white egg, so why is there that strange creature here?"

"And don't you think this place looks like a nest?"

Snowwell Milden voiced a lot of questions in one breath.

After listening.

Ding Ze fell silent, because to be honest, there were just too many problems, and they had far too little information.

Therefore, at present, there is no way to get any answers.

"Sigh, thinking about these stupid problems is giving me a headache," Ding Ze sighed. "Alright, let's take it one step at a time. Let's go down and take a look first." (End of Chapter)

Chapter 516 Is it possible to do it this way?

Amazon rainforest.

Snowwell Milden is practically a half-tree person, so falling into this kind of trap is a piece of cake for him.

In fact, in terms of agility, Snowwell Milden far surpasses Ding Ze.

Ding Ze was truly speechless about this, but what could he do? The other person had superpowers; they were just awesome.

Time flies.

Snowwell Milden and Ding Ze, one after the other, descended to the bottom of the pit along the roots of the black tree.

The workers at the bottom of the pit glanced at Ding Ze and his companion, but didn't pay much attention and continued with their work.

Conversely, Ding Ze and Snowwell Milden didn't disturb the workers either, but just watched in silence.

Speaking of which, like Snowwell Milden, this is Ding Ze's first time coming down here in person... After leaving the Amazon rainforest last time, all sorts of things happened, and only now has he had time to come.

The things I shouldn't say feel like a lifetime ago.

Ding Ze was somewhat moved, but after finishing, he came back to his senses and continued to observe.

After looking around, and then looking up at it like this...

Suddenly, Ding Ze felt a sense of déjà vu about this scene.

Because of this feeling, Ding Ze subconsciously frowned and tried hard to recall.

After a long while, Gedeng and Dingze suddenly remembered.

Good heavens, this black tree, including its roots, looks quite similar to some of the things he saw in science fiction movies before he transmigrated.

next second.

Ding Ze suddenly looked down at his feet.

If this were a science fiction movie, then these tree roots would have to extend into a very eerie pool, or rather, a lake.

It was the liquid in that pool that sustained the black tree's survival.

Is that right?

Ding Ze didn't think much about it or dwell on it. After all, there was no point in worrying about it; once they dug to the bottom, they would know.

Putting aside his wandering thoughts, Ding Ze lit a cigarette and looked at the roots of the black tree again.

These tree roots were very thick, with tumor-like bumps growing on them, which were truly disgusting.

As previously reported by the person in charge, experts have studied these tree roots and burls but have not been able to reach a definitive conclusion, only speculation.

Experts speculate that these roots are like the nerves of the black tree, while the tumors are like nerve synapses.

Ding Ze didn't know much about these things, and to be honest, he wasn't interested in learning about them.

"This thing is disgusting," Ding Ze couldn't help but comment after taking another look.

Snowwell Milden, who was squatting on the ground studying the soil, heard this and turned to look at Ding Ze. "Mr. Ding, do you have any special feelings about being here?"

Ding Ze understood what Snowwell Milden meant and decisively shook his head, "No, not at all."

Snowwell Milden was indeed quite hopeful, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed and gave a wry smile. "I was hoping that there was a giant egg down there, and that this black tree actually grew out of the giant egg."

"???" Ding Ze raised his eyebrows subconsciously upon hearing this.

Hey.
