The masterminds need to conduct human experiments, so they must need a wide place to place experimental equipment. In addition, if there are many villagers, they must need a larger place to be detained. Moreover, this place must be relatively secluded so that some noise can be avoided from being discovered.

It's a slap in the head in vain.

"But Miss Sakuraye, all the nearby areas are logging and mining areas. Basically, for logging or mining, many places have already contracted by some wealthy businessmen. If you do this kind of thing here, you will definitely be discovered."

"Are there any rumors around here? It's the kind of rumors that have only appeared recently, and are more strange."

"Oh, if you don't say this, I really can't get involved in this matter. Recently, my intelligence website showed that a wealthy businessman reported to the nearby government. He said that strange things happened in his mining area, and people were always dying, and strange howling sounds of ghosts and wolves could be heard at night. The government went to see it, but these people committed suicide and did not detect anything. The government just thought that this wealthy businessman was too unintentional and arranged the work of migrant workers too ruthlessly, so someone committed suicide. The wealthy businessman reported to the officials but wanted to clear the suspicion."

Makino interrupted.

"This is a strange rumor. How did the government handle it later?"

"The government is not easy to take action on such exploitation of workers, because the government cannot find conclusive evidence. In addition, after all, there are a lot of wages in the mining area, and many people are reluctant to ask for it. Some people think it is a blessing. So the government made a conclusion, saying that these people committed suicide and did not hold the miners responsible."

Qi Wudao asked a question.

"Then is still in operation?"

"I don't know this. I just thought it was a trivial matter and didn't pay much attention. Otherwise, I would send my spies to report."

Sakuraye shook her head.

"No need, waiting here will also waste time. We might as well go to the mining area in person to check if there are any abnormalities."

Bai Bucai smiled openly.

"Okay, Miss Sakuraye has spoken, so it's okay to go and see it. I guess the mining area is still open. Why would this kind of wealthy businessman who doesn't care about the life or death of miners continue to operate? Let's go and show the token, and he will definitely let us go and see it."

So, Bai Bucai led the way, while Makino and others followed behind. Along the way, the more they walked, the taller the trees became. The rich leaves blocked the sunlight, making it dark all around. Everyone could only rely on the sunlight falling between the cracks of the trees to clearly identify the direction of their progress. Moreover, the bushes began to gradually become taller, and someone in front needed to chop them in front.

Bai Bucai complained when he opened the road in front.

"Strange, how the trees here grow so densely. I have been here before, but I have never seen such dense groves."

Makino laughed.

"You guy must have drunk too much, so you can't remember it clearly."

Liu Xitong unconsciously held Muye's arm.

"Makino, the more I go in, the more I feel a feeling of disgust and horror, as if there is something shocking in front of me."

"It's okay, I'll protect you."

Ariel, who was beside him, turned her head over and took a breath of fresh air.

Finally, everyone came to this mining area, but the scene in front of them surprised everyone.

It was a huge ancient tree with its roots intertwined and plunged into the bottom of the mining area. After a closer look, the trees I saw before were all grown by the rhizomes on its branches and inserted into the land. It was just because the leaves were too dense and covered the sky and the sun, so it was difficult to find them before. Now that I have moved closer, I realized that they were like this.

Qi Wudao sighed.

"It's really a good tree. I've been traveling around the world for a while, but I didn't expect that there were still such trees in the world."

Ariel couldn't help asking questions.

"Didn't you just say that this is a mining area? I always thought that the mining area should be bare, but isn't that true?"

Bai Bucai waved his hand.

"No, the mining area should be a bare area. It is not normal now. The appearance of the mining area in various places is registered, so how could such an oddity occur here? According to the records of my intelligence website, this mining area should be a bare area. All the mining area has just been replaced a month ago, unless..."

Sakuraye will continue the next sentence.

"Unless within a month, this big tree grows out and grows so densely."

Bai Bucai nodded, and he stared at the big tree blankly, thinking in his mind what the reason, or what kind of power it was, could actually grow such a rich tree in such a short time.

When I approached the mining area, I found that the surrounding area was surrounded by barbed wire mesh, and the gate of the barbed wire mesh was locked by a large lock.

Qi Wudao looked at the barbed wire and sighed.

"According to the law, the front belongs to private territory, and we rashly enter it, it is illegal."

Bai Bucai said aloud.

"Brother Qi, let's not be so rigid, right? We are investigating cases, big cases, and big cases with hundreds of lives. In this way, according to the common sense of society, what's the problem with us when we go in?"

Qi Wudao nodded.

“That’s true.”

But Yingye expressed a different view from Bai Bucai.

"In this emergency situation, it is indeed no problem for us to enter. But this big tree grows so abnormally, we go rashly. If there is anything dangerous inside, isn't it causing trouble for ourselves?"

I stopped picking and patting my head.

"That's true. In your opinion, how should we do the right thing?"

"In my opinion, since there is a master in this mining area, we will just go to the master of the mining area. We are not clear about this mining area, and the owner of the mining area should be quite clear about this mining area. Even if he does not know the origin of the big trees on this mining area, he can provide us with the distribution of tunnel routes and other aspects in the mining area."

Makino nodded.

"I think what Miss Sakuraye said makes sense. We might as well go and find the owner of this mine now."

After saying that, Bai Bucai took everyone down the mountain. On the other side of the mountain was a town, and the owner of the mining area lived on the town. Everyone rushed to the vicinity of the town without stopping. After all, it has been a day or two since the emperor ordered the search for Princess Lin and Hai. It is hard to say that he can ensure the safety of Princess Yunhai. Time is tight.

However, no matter how anxious they were, they could not help but notice that the people in this town looked listless.
