System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully exploring the Khmer King's Tomb. You have been rewarded with 5 fusion attempts. You also killed 46 enemies outside the tomb, for a total of 5 fusion attempts.]

"Ok?"

Zhang Hao was just wondering why the system notification sound hadn't appeared since they came out of the Khmer king's tomb.

I thought there would be no rewards for exploring ancient tombs outside of the Great Xia Kingdom, but it seems I was overthinking it.

Although the Khmer royal tombs are thrilling, their construction quality and the design of their traps and mechanisms are far inferior to those of the ancient tombs of the Bactrian Kingdom.

This also reflects the strength of the nation. Although the Khmer Empire dominated the entire Southeast Asia, it was nothing compared to the Great Xia Kingdom.

Therefore, it's understandable that the number of rewards after completing an exploration is relatively small.

Fortunately, a group of people from the Ding family appeared and sacrificed themselves, which allowed him to gain 5 more fusion attempts.

It seems that not only can killing enemies inside the tomb grant extra fusion attempts, but killing enemies outside the tomb also grants rewards, although the rewards are not as high as those inside the tomb.

Killing an enemy inside the tomb rewards one fusion attempt, while outside the tomb, it should be 10 enemies to be killed to reward one fusion attempt.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao was filled with regret. If he had known earlier, he would have lured the Ding family into the ancient tomb and then killed them. He had wasted a great opportunity.

Suddenly, he thought of something, turned around and looked at Ding Yudie with an indescribable expression.

The Ding family has been preventing Yi Sa and Ding Yudie from investigating the truth behind the water demon mutation.

Now that they have investigated the origins of the three Shuixiao surnames, Ding Changsheng will definitely continue to send people to hunt them down.

In other words, as long as we help them investigate the truth behind the water demon mutation, there will be many more opportunities like this in the future.

If we plan ahead and lure people into the ancient tomb, the number of times we can merge with it will be a piece of cake.

"Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, what are your plans for the future?"

"We are prepared to continue investigating the truth behind the ape mutation. This matter must be handled urgently, as my time is running out."

"Yes, please don't hesitate to ask if you need any help."

"Thank you."

"Boss, you're so kind. With your help, Sasa will definitely be alright."

Zhang Hao smiled; he wasn't exactly a pushover either.

The reason for helping Yi Sa was that the truth behind the water demon's mutation should be related to those gods who possess other people's bodies and live forever.

Those gods were his potential enemies.

It's also good for you to find out what the enemy is capable of before they discover you.

Furthermore, while helping her, you can also benefit yourself by receiving system rewards for the number of fusion attempts.

Of course, another reason is that both Yi Sa and Ding Yudie are grateful and know how to repay kindness.

Such a person deserves help.

If they are ungrateful wretches, Zhang Hao wouldn't even give them a second glance, no matter how many benefits he could gain from helping them.

With the matter of the Khmer King's tomb settled, the group rested briefly before planning to leave Cambodia for Yi Jia's Southeast Asian estate to rest for two days before making further plans.

Having just left the rainforest and returned to the city, everyone's phones kept ringing.

Zhang Hao took out his phone to check and found that Pan Zi had sent him hundreds of text messages and had made hundreds of missed calls.

"Jingle Bell……"

Just then, Wu Tianzhen's phone rang.

He answered the call immediately when he saw it was from Pan Zi.

"Young Master, you finally answered the phone. I couldn't get through to Xiao Hao on the phone or he didn't reply to my texts. I'll just call you both in turn."

“We’re all fine, it’s just that there’s no signal in the mountains. Is something wrong? Why are you in such a hurry?”

“Aren’t you going to see Third Master? According to Wu family intelligence, Third Master appeared in Myanmar yesterday, but his condition doesn’t seem to be very good. It seems he was coerced by the local warlord.”

"What, do you have any specific information?"

"No, I have other tasks assigned by Third Master, and I can't get away for the time being, so I can only call you and Xiao Hao for help."

"I understand. I'll go with my uncle to rescue my third uncle!"

After hanging up the phone, Wu Tianzhen told Zhang Hao the whole story.

Zhang Haocai simply couldn't believe that someone as cunning as Uncle Wu could be coerced by a small warlord in Southeast Asia.

He probably did this to lure him and Wu Tianzhen to Myanmar. As for what Uncle Wu's purpose was, we'll only know once we get there.

Zhang Hao immediately decided to change his route and travel to neighboring Myanmar with Wu Tianzhen.

As for Yi Sa, we can only put her aside for now and let her investigate with Ding Yudie. We'll meet up with them after I've finished my work here.

So Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Zhang Qilin, and Fatty returned to the city and separated from Yi Sa and Ding Yudie, taking a bus to Myanmar.

……

Two days later, at a barbecue stall by a small river in the old city of Myanmar's capital.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Zhang Qilin, and Fatty ate barbecue and drank beer.

"This crocodile meat isn't very good either; it's tough and chewy. Python meat is much better."

"Lizard meat is also good, it's tender and fragrant."

"Tianzhen, eat more."

"Hey buddy, you should eat too!"

……

After a two-day bus ride, the four of them were exhausted and hungry. After a hearty meal, they quickly found a hotel nearby, went into their room, and fell asleep immediately.

When I woke up again, it was noon the next day.

After a quick wash, the group went downstairs for dinner. As soon as they arrived in the hotel lobby, a tall, beautiful woman with long hair came up to greet them.

"Naive, it really is you!"

Wu Tianzhen was taken aback for a moment, but when she saw the woman's face clearly, she exclaimed in surprise, "Xiuxiu, what brings you to Myanmar?"

“There’s a small auction going on here recently, and there’s something I’ve got my eye on, so I came to try my luck.”

Xiuxiu then noticed the other people with Wu Tianzhen and asked, "Who are these people?"

"This is my uncle, and this is Fatty. The quiet one is my brother."

Xiuxiu nodded upon hearing this and greeted everyone warmly: "Uncle, Brother, Fatty, hello everyone, I'm Xiuxiu, your innocent childhood friend."

"Ah."

Zhang Hao smiled and nodded in acknowledgment.

The Huo family is here, so the items at the auction must be extraordinary.

The Huo family, being one of the Nine Gates, has accumulated no less wealth than the Wu family; otherwise, what else would be worth the Huo family's young lady making a trip to Myanmar?

Zhang Hao had a vague feeling that the item Xiuxiu had her eye on might be the reason why Uncle Wu had brought him and Wu Tianzhen to Myanmar.

"I'm quite interested in the auction. I wonder what good things they'll have there?"

"Uncle, if you're interested, I'll have someone send the auction list to your room later. If you see anything you like, come with us to the auction."

"Row."

Zhang Hao didn't stand on ceremony and directly told her his room number.
