Features: John Carter comes to Mars for the second time, this time to a different place: the banks of the river are fire-red, the grasslands are scarlet red, the cliffs are golden walls made of gold, inlaid with emeralds, jade, and diamonds, and the trees have a diameter of 100 feet, astonishingly large; customs are cruel and terrible. At this time, several greens are engaged in a fierce battle with a group of eerie treants. When the treants are about to kill the last green, John Carter jumps forward to fight alongside the green. At this moment, the most terrifying "white ape" on Mars also joins forces with the "treants" and, in the midst of fighting and retreating, John Carter falls into a deathtrap—the Valley of Thoel. Here, John Carter encounters another fierce battle with more ferocious spotted lions and demons. With the help of the beautiful girl Sola, they lead a group of imprisoned prisoners out of the valley. Just as John Carter escapes danger, he enters a corridor fraught with peril and encounters black pirates. He fights alongside his son, whom he had on Mars, and finally uncovers the mystery of the Martian monsters. In the end, countless loves and hates, and untellable emotional entanglements, leave a puzzle for the reader. The story told in this book is thrilling, terrifying, full of romance, and irresistible. The humans and animals in it are incredibly strange and terrifying, with immense killing power and aggression, leaving readers in awe and horror.
