System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Uncle, where did the Breath of Earth go?"

"Brother Zhang Hao, what methods did you use to deal with the Breath of Earth?"

"I saw a sudden burst of bright light on you earlier, like a god descending from heaven. What was that all about?"

……

After realizing they had been rescued, everyone began to recall what had happened before, and many questions arose in their minds.

Zhang Hao smiled and pointed to the ceiling: "It got sucked into the black hole again and disappeared."

Since no one witnessed what happened before, he simply attributed everything to the black hole and didn't bother to explain further.

Upon hearing this, everyone looked up at the ceiling. The black hole had become somewhat blurry and looked as if it could disappear at any moment.

It doesn't look like it can still absorb the Breath Soil.

However, they knew very well that Zhang Hao was just making up this excuse because he didn't want to say more, so they didn't ask any further questions.

"Brother Zhang Hao, thanks to your help this time, we were able to find the clues about the water demon's mutation. I'd like to change the conditions I promised earlier. I won't limit the number of items anymore. You can take anything in the Yi family's treasure vault that you like!"

"Forget about the treasure for now, just remember it and I'll come to you to get it when I need it."

Zhang Hao had already entered the Yi family's treasure vault, and he had taken the special items inside. What remained were just ordinary antiques, which were of little significance to him.

It would be better to let Yi Sa owe a favor, and then check if there are any special items when the Yi family's treasure vault receives new goods in the future.

Yi Sa was deeply moved upon hearing this, as she felt that Zhang Hao considered her a true friend.

She clenched her fists, secretly vowing to repay Zhang Hao in the future.

After checking the cave thoroughly and finding no new discoveries, Yi Sa announced, "Alright, we've explored almost the entire Khmer King's Tomb. You've also found the clues you were looking for. Let's rest for a bit and then head back."

The group rested in the cave for half an hour, and once they had recovered their strength, they started walking back along the path they had come in.

The traps and obstacles along the way have been overcome, and the journey back was smooth sailing.

Soon they arrived at the entrance to the hole in the big tree.

"and many more!"

Just as Yi Sa lifted her foot to step out of the cave, Zhang Hao stopped her.

There are people lying in ambush outside.

Upon hearing this, Yi Sa pressed her ear to the ground and listened carefully.

As time went on, her brows furrowed more and more deeply.

"Brother Zhang Hao, how did you know there was an ambush? I didn't notice anything at all?"

Zhang Hao smiled; he had located it using sound waves.

At this moment, a group of dozens of people were lying in ambush outside the tree hole, clearly coming for them.

Those people were hiding very well, all holding their breath, and even their heartbeats slowed down.

If it weren't for his ability to locate people using sound waves, he wouldn't have been able to detect their presence.

"They must have used a special technique to hold their breath, and their heart rate was very slow, so it's normal that you couldn't notice it."

"Ding Changsheng!"

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie said in unison.

"Those people must have been using a water Buddha seat, which allows them to slow their heartbeat while holding their breath. It is one of the unique skills of our Three Surnames Water Demons."

Ding Changsheng has been trying to stop us from investigating the truth about the water demons; those people outside must have been sent by him.

“They were all armed; they seemed to have ill intentions.”

"Ding Yudie, aren't you also a member of the Ding family? Does he intend to kill you?"

The fat man asked, puzzled.

“Before, I didn’t know the origin of the Three-Surname Water Demon, so he probably wouldn’t have done anything to me. Now that I know the origin of the Three-Surname Water Demon, he will definitely kill me without hesitation in order to stop us from telling the truth.”

"If that's the case, then things will be easier. Fatty won't hold back in a bit."

"Fatty, stop bragging. They all have guns. If we go out there, we'll just be throwing our lives away. How are we supposed to deal with them?"

The fat man chuckled twice and took out a bundle of explosives from his bag.

"Holy crap, Fatty, why didn't you take this out when the Breath of Earth enveloped us?"

"This bundle of explosives is reinforced. If the cave had collapsed, we would have been buried alive. Now that we're out, we don't have to worry about that anymore."

Everyone looked helpless upon hearing this, unsure of what to say.

"Fatty, put the stuff away. We have a better way to deal with them."

"What's the solution?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Hao, curious about how he would deal with the ambush outside.

Zhang Hao smiled mysteriously and did not reveal his thoughts.

After he merged with the inner core of the Black-haired Snake Mother, he was able to control snakes. There were many giant pythons in the tree hole that served as food for the Nine-Headed Cypress.

Using these giant pythons to deal with those people lying in ambush outside would be effortless.

As soon as Zhang Hao had a thought, the surrounding grass began to tremble violently.

A dozen or so giant pythons, each about ten meters long, quickly gathered around him and then swam out of the cave.

As the giant pythons slithered past them, everyone was terrified, even though the pythons ignored them.

"Could these giant pythons be..."

"Are these the methods my uncle mentioned?"

"Could it be that the giant python is being controlled by the boss, which is why it's swimming away and not attacking us?"

Ding Yudie didn't know why such a thought suddenly came to her mind.

However, the dozen or so giant pythons looked like they were being controlled by someone behind the scenes; otherwise, they would have attacked them.

Among their group, only Zhang Hao possessed such abilities.

He wouldn't believe Zhang Hao's claim that he was immune to attacks because he carried the aura of the Black-haired Snake Mother.

……

Ding Qi led a group of men to ambush outside the tree hole, waiting for Yi Sa and Ding Yudie to come out so they could capture them both.

They lay in ambush outside for most of the day, and just as it was about to get dark, there was a sudden movement inside the tree hollow.

"Attention everyone, they're coming out soon. Capture Yi Sa and Ding Yudie alive and hand them over to the supervisor for punishment. Kill the rest on sight!"

"Yes!"

His subordinate responded and immediately used his best skill to hide.

Just as they were waiting, a dozen giant pythons filed out of the tree hole.

The Ding family members were terrified when they saw the giant python's enormous body.

One of these giant pythons would be terrifying enough, but now there are more than a dozen at the same time. They are so frightened that they dare not even breathe.

They stared intently at the giant python that slithered out of the tree hole, yet dared not move, fearing that any sudden movement would alert the snake.

Just then, they were horrified to discover that the giant pythons were actually heading straight for them.

Before the Ding family could react, they discovered that one after another, giant pythons, each over ten meters long, had appeared around them.

The giant python opened its mouth, curled its tongue, and swallowed a person whole.

More than a dozen giant pythons launched an attack at the same time, instantly reducing the number of people lying in ambush by nearly half, and the number was still decreasing rapidly.

When the leader Ding Qi saw his men being swallowed by the giant python one after another, his face turned deathly pale.

"Are these giant pythons some kind of supernatural being? How did they pinpoint the location of each and every one of us in such an ambush?"
