About The Buried Tree Devil

Here is what The Buried Tree Devil (盗墓笔记之秦岭神树) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, mystery and supernatural anime by Qiyuan Yinghua (2021). What the story covers: After returning to Hangzhou from his past two adventures in Nansha, Wu Xie without warning receives a call from his long-lost childhood ally Lao Yang. He talks to Wu Xie about their adventure in the hinterlands of Qinling Mountain three years ago and invites Wu Xie to explore the ancient ruins there again.

Soon after, during their adventure, Wu Xie and Lao Yang witness a giant taimen, a grand underground waterfall, and an unfathomable age-old sacred tree. Meanwhile Zhang Qiling, who has been elusive from the start, is secretly helping Wu Xie.

As an adventure title, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
