So everyone rushed toward the tree trunk, eagerly reaching out to touch it. Even Governor Duan rolled up his sleeves. He rubbed all the bark he could see, but he didn't find any fake bark.
Manbao and the others carefully scratched at it, searching for a long time without success.
Governor Duan couldn't help but doubt, "Is it really inside the tree?"
Could Zhou Man have made a wrong judgment this time and it's just not here?
Just as Manbao was about to ask Keke, Bai Shan suddenly felt something, and everyone heard a soft click.
This sound was particularly unusual, not the typical sound of peeling off bark, more like... the sound of a mechanism.
Everyone looked up at Bai Shan.
Under their gaze, Bai Shan pulled on the piece of bark that sounded like a live latch, and then, a giant piece of bark, from top to bottom, irregular and nearly as big as Manbao's body, was peeled away.
Everyone's eyes widened.
