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

The giant python's upper body was in the water, while its lower body remained on the shore.

Ding Ze lit a cigarette, not forgetting that there was still a large crocodile in the water.

Given the presence of crocodiles in the water, going into the water is a very risky undertaking... Moreover, the python's skin was torn and its flesh was ripped open, meaning the crocodile had likely already considered it its prey.

In this way...

The safest solution would probably be to take out the crocodile first.

Ding Ze thought for a moment, then turned on the walkie-talkie and was just about to speak.

Suddenly, plans changed.

Suddenly, the giant python, which had been motionless, was dragged rapidly into the depths of the river, and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared.

"Damn it," Ding Ze muttered, frustrated that everything happened so fast that there was no time to stop it.

Janet, who had just been snapping photos of the giant python with bated breath, gave a wry smile upon hearing this, "There will be other pythons, we can just catch them."

Look at her, what an understanding woman she is.

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke. "This is the only way."

As soon as he spoke, Ding Ze recalled the eerie scene in the movie where dozens of giant pythons were entangled together. Looking at the shore again, based on his experience, he suspected that there might really be that many giant pythons in the Amazon rainforest at this time of year.

It's really scary and disgusting.

"Let's go," Ding Ze said to Janet, since the python's carcass had already been dragged away by the crocodile. Going back into the water to look for it would be suicide. He then turned on the walkie-talkie and ordered the boat to continue.

Upon receiving the order, the captains acted with lightning speed and efficiency, setting sail without a moment's hesitation.

There is no other reason.

Nobody wants to deal with that kind of giant python.

In fact, if they hadn't known they couldn't afford to offend Ding Ze and his gang, the boat captains would have turned back and given up on making that money.

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

The ship was moving very fast.

Before we knew it, it was evening.

The journey was quite smooth, and nothing particularly unusual happened.

As darkness approached, the boat captain found Ding Ze and suggested that they find a place to dock and rest as soon as possible, and set off again at dawn. "Boss, the Amazon rainforest is extremely dangerous at night. For thousands of years, almost no ships have dared to sail at night."

Ding Ze had no objections. After all, they were there to have fun, not to travel far, so he nodded in agreement, "Okay, you make the arrangements."

The boat captain, who had been worried that Ding Ze would insist on continuing the journey, breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. "Alright."

About half an hour later.

Ships gradually docked and anchored.

Soon after, smoke began to rise from the ships.

Unlike on land, conditions here are relatively limited, but it's still manageable. After all, Ding Ze's group has many people and great strength, and they are well-prepared, bringing plenty of meat, fruit, and other things.

Since Ding Ze had nothing better to do, he started frying steaks.

Janet didn't slack off; she helped tidy up the fruit, displaying a dutiful and supportive attitude towards her husband, much to the surprise of Diamond and Margaret.

The truth is, in a place like the Amazon rainforest, one shouldn't normally eat foods with strong aromas.

Because the scent attracts animals, especially at night.

But Ding Ze and his group were different.

There are over a hundred people with fierce firepower, so there's not much to worry about.

The boat captains didn't bother with any further reminders, and just looked forward to dinner, finding the steak delicious.

Before long, steaks were cooked one after another, and everyone ate and drank to their hearts' content. It was hard to tell that they were there for an adventure; they were there for a vacation.

About twenty minutes passed.

It turns out that the aroma of steak does indeed attract animals.

suddenly.

A daring monkey, risking its life for a bite to eat, jumped onto the boat where Ding Ze and the others were, wanting to eat steak.

Ding Ze saw this and chuckled, "Little guy, want some?"

The monkey was clearly in a hurry, scratching itself and jumping around, which was quite comical.

Ding Ze and Janet both found it amusing.

Ding Ze didn't tease him much and casually tossed over two slices of steak.

Upon seeing this, the monkey moved with incredible speed, stuffing the two steaks into its mouth in the blink of an eye, and then, with a whoosh, it returned to the land.

“Little guy, if you’re smart enough, remember to come back. I’ll take you to America to play,” Ding Ze said with a smile. Then, he turned to the zoologist not far away and asked, “What kind of monkey is that?”

The zoologist was a professional, and upon hearing the infamous serial killer Ding Ze's question, he dared not delay for even a moment. He immediately put down his dinner and began to speak in a serious manner.

Ding Ze listened quietly, then smiled and said, "Dude, we've been spending a few days together, why are you still so afraid of me?"

The zoologist dared not speak carelessly, and gave a wry smile, "Mr. Ding, you misunderstand. I'm always like this, I'm not afraid of you."

Upon hearing this, Ding Ze raised an eyebrow decisively. "What? You're not afraid of me?"

Zoologist: "???"

What is going on?

We've really gotten on a pirate ship.

The zoologist was at a loss for words.

“Alright,” Janet shook her head with a smile, and said to Ding Ze, “Stop scaring people, be normal.”

After saying that, Janet turned to the zoologist and apologized, "I'm sorry, he's just a joker, please don't take it seriously."

The zoologist was moved, thinking that Ding Ze's girlfriend was truly wonderful. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 376 The Primitive Tribe by the River

Amazon rainforest.

On the ship where Ding Ze was.

Ding Ze teased the seemingly pitiful zoologist and laughed heartily.

The others joined in the laughter, and for a time, the boat was filled with laughter and joy.

Time flies, and after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went about their business.

Diamond moved a few steps and sat down next to Ding Ze, offering him a cigar. "Mr. Ding, do you know anything about that giant python from earlier today? I've never heard of a python growing that big."

Ding Ze casually lit a cigar, took a puff, and said, "Normally speaking, pythons shouldn't grow that big."

"However, nature is amazing, and there are always exceptions."

“Let’s see tomorrow. If we encounter another python that big, then we can’t explain it as an exception.”

Diamond, who had built such a large business, was no fool. After hearing Ding Ze's words, he quickly understood what Ding Ze meant. "You mean, there's something special in the Amazon rainforest that makes them grow so big?"

Ding Ze smiled and nodded, "When I was in Fox River Prison, I actually heard my fellow inmates mention it."

"It is said that deep in the Amazon rainforest, in a very secluded place, there exists a very magical tree of life."

"That Tree of Life blooms only once a year, and the bloom lasts for only a few hours."

"That flower has incredible properties; it can prolong human lifespan and even grant immortality."

Diamond was stunned upon hearing this, his eyes widening in disbelief: "!!!!"

no way.

Diamond is getting old. Even if he could extend his lifespan by five or ten years, let alone achieve immortality, the temptation would be enormous.

Diamond was very intrigued and asked, "Is there really such a Tree of Life?"

Ding Ze exhaled a puff of smoke and smiled at Diamond. "It's hard to say. You know how legends are. But personally, I feel that all legends in this world have an explanation. The only difference is whether that explanation is reasonable or not."

"Now that we're here, let's give it a try."

Diamond nodded immediately, then realized something, "You came here to find the Tree of Life?"

"Haha, no, I'm just a little tired of the chaos in the city and wanted to relax in this primeval jungle and feel the charm of nature," Ding Ze said with a smile. "Finding the Tree of Life is just a side thing, I'm not insisting on it."

Diamond laughed, "Well, if that Tree of Life really existed, that would be wonderful."

“Don’t blame me for being pessimistic,” Ding Ze thought for a moment and said, “If it really exists, the area where that Tree of Life is located will be extremely dangerous. Not to mention anything else, there are probably countless giant pythons.”

"Although our firepower is not weak this time, if we encounter dozens or even hundreds of those pythons, we probably have no chance of winning."

Diamond imagined that scene.

Dozens, even hundreds, of those giant pythons swam towards them together...

hiss~~~

Diamond felt a chill run down his spine and quickly lowered his expectations, not daring to think any further. "Hmm, you're right."
