Default black battery cable

So where does the black battery cable connect too? Was cleaning the engine bay and noticed its only connected to battery and nothing else.

the negative battery terminal should have 2 wire. 1 going to the body and 1 going to the engine.

Ground cable. Connects to screw that is located on either driver side fender or front radiator support via ring lug.
