The Mud Tree People's tradition is to live in the trees, and entering the Dead Sea is merely for the sake of exploration and treasure hunting.

In that world, the Dead Sea submerged all land, eliminating the concept of terrestrial landscapes.

After getting to know Aqi and Ye Qing, Ni Ge became exposed to the strength and charm of the planting techniques used here. He gradually changed his inherent habits, often appearing in the company's agricultural fields, seeking advice on various experiences and techniques from the agricultural machinery and farmers.

He quickly established a friendship with the Minister of Agriculture, Zheng Tao.

For this giant, who liked to walk and squat in the fields, observing various crops, everyone became familiar and affectionate as well.

Having officially integrated into the local community, Ni Ge also donned loose sportswear and trousers and got custom-made oversized shoes. Only the tuft of pointy hair on his head stubbornly stuck up, making him look like a professional basketball player.

He found Zhou Yi and said, "Chairman, the soil here is very barren. However, those fields managed by the farm machinery, after being improved by fertilizers, are clearly very robust."

Ni Ge grabbed a handful of soil and chewed it twice before spitting it out.

"The soil here is not very good, it's dry and astringent, and it doesn't have the proper mud."

"The soil quality in the Dead Sea of our world is better; it's just that the plants here are too weak, too short and thin, and poorly developed, there's a big difference compared to ours."

According to him, most of the Pan Trees in the Mud Tree Civilization World were at least as tall as Jade City. The grass grafted and parasitic on the Sky-reaching Tree were at least one person tall, and the Dead Sea Fruits were much larger than those here... It was a gigantic primitive forest world.

Structurally, the Dead Sea of the Mud Tree Civilization World is filled with a large amount of Light Amber Mine (i.e., mud), enabling the Sky-reaching Trees to soar into the clouds and supporting the Mud Tree People's three-dimensional living space.

"Chairman, with fertilizer and planting techniques, it would make it possible for Pan Trees to become Sky-reaching Trees."

He said confidently, "Initially, our ancestors settled on the Pan Trees that could produce Dead Sea Fruits because these fruits made them strong."

"Later, from these Pan Trees, evolved the Sky-reaching Trees."

"Although it's not clear yet how to do it, our current experiences are consistent with those of our ancestors."

"Thanks to consuming a large amount of mutated Dead Sea Fruits, we now have Mud Tribe explorers like myself. The Mud Tree People are strong enough to dare to enter the Dead Sea, not fearing attacks by monsters or dissolution by the Dead Sea."

Apart from quality enhancement through diet, Mud Tree People choose their professions based on personality.

Those who are brave become explorers and warriors, while those with patience and intelligence are cultivated as naturalists and logistical managers.

He said, "Explorers are basically all similar to me; there's little difference between us. If converted to your terms, would it be A-rank?"

Even though his physique was A-rank strength, Ni Ge's abilities were all focused on the adventure vine—most of the Mud Tree People's significant abilities relied on symbiotic plants to be activated.

He pointed with his thumb to the vine on his shoulder, which was lifting its head: "This guy has three abilities, which you can call 'Blind Spot,' 'Identification,' and 'Feeding.'"

"'Blind Spot' makes the area it covers unable to be looked at or observed; it usually works on most forms of life."

"'Identification' involves recognizing various substances or lives around it, like with Ye Qing, adventure vine helped me confirm that he is also a kind of symbiotic plant. Most importantly, it can sense danger and warn me."

"'Feeding' is quite simple. It's an ability that can absorb energy from the Dead Sea, allowing explorers who operate alone in the Dead Sea for extended periods to rely on it for supplementary nourishment."

"These abilities vary in strength on different adventure vines, primarily depending on cultivation and enhancement results. I'm rather ordinary in this aspect."

Indeed, this was an adventurer's skill set, without any specific combat skills.

The Mud Tree People's primary direction for enhancing their bodies was to increase vitality, straightforward and focused, relying on symbiotic plants or plant tools for other aspects.

Without their physique, one simply couldn't sustain the symbiotic plants.

"Chairman, I want to pilot the Black Thorn to explore the Dead Sea nearby. An explorer's specialty lies in this area; what I know about planting only extends to the identification and selection of mud and soil."

"I always feel like there are some invisible secret life forms beneath the Dead Sea here. Adventure vine also detected life signals, but they soon disappeared; I'm not sure if it's an illusion. If we can find them, maybe there will be some discoveries."

Zhou Yi didn't hinder him, but he cautioned, "Be safe, and get away quickly if you encounter danger."

"Rest assured, Chairman, I am a professional explorer after all."

"There's one more thing."

Zhou Yi picked up a Mud Tablet from the wooden rack next to him: "Is this board a practice drawing from your childhood?"

Among the three Mud Tablets he acquired from Black Thorn, two were Ni Ge's family portraits and self-portraits. Only this chicken pecking at rice had a bizarrely absurd feeling, completely different in style and aura from the other two boards.

It was also because of this chicken pecking at rice image that Zhou Yi was taken aback when he came to collect treasures.

"No, it was drawn by my great great grandfather."

Ni Ge solemnly said, "In the Mud Tree Civilization, there is a legend that the world is actually a special fruit, with the emergence of the Dead Sea as a sign of maturity."

"Then the Doomsday Beast will follow the Circular Flow and appear to consume this world."

He pointed to the grains on the tablet: "This represents the world."

Then he pointed to the chicken: "The Doomsday Beast."

It turned out to be this way.
