System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The group booked the remaining three rooms at the guesthouse.

Uncle Wu and Da Kui shared a room, Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen shared a room, and Zhang Qilin and Pan Zi shared a room.

The group of people took their luggage to their respective rooms, washed up quickly, and then went downstairs to have the restaurant owner cook a few dishes, which they ate with white rice to fill their stomachs.

"Third Uncle, do you think there really are gods in this world?"

Wu Tianzhen asked curiously.

The tortoise shell in Guiguzi's tomb recorded the pursuit of immortality by a god, which made him begin to doubt his own beliefs.

I used to think that there was no God in this world, but now I have discovered records of God.

"If you believe it, you have it; if you don't believe it, you don't have it."

Uncle Wu didn't want to delve into the topic, so he just used platitudes to fool Wu Tianzhen.

Unexpectedly, this topic piqued the interest of the guesthouse owner. She opened a few bottles of beer, came over, sat down, and said, "You really shouldn't disbelieve it. There really are immortals in this world. A few years ago, a landslide on the mountain behind us unearthed an immortal's tomb."

Legend has it that the tomb contains an elixir of immortality, so every year since then, many people have come here specifically to see it.

This isn't the first time I've heard of the Immortal's Tomb; an old lady I met on the road mentioned it before.

Uncle Wu asked calmly, "Did any of the people who came here find the immortal's tomb?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I haven't heard of that. They all stay here for one night and leave the next day. They never come back. Who knows if they found the Immortal's Tomb or not."

However, many people still come every year. I guess the immortal hasn't been found, otherwise why would people still come to our village every year?

My guesthouse business is getting better every year; yesterday, a group of people even went into the mountains.

While the boss was speaking, Panzi and Da Kui were extremely anxious.

So many people come here every year, and they're only coming now. What if someone else steals the tomb first? Then they'll have missed out.

As far as Zhang Hao knew, the reason why Uncle Wu's team came here was because of a Warring States period silk scroll.

As for the origin of the Warring States period silk manuscript that records the palace of the King of Lu, it was left behind by a mysterious person in the Wu family's antique shop.

Later, after Wu Sanshu deciphered it, he discovered that the Warring States period silk manuscript was actually a map of an ancient tomb.

According to the guesthouse owner, many people come here every year.

Those people were clearly all there for the Lu Palace.

A large tomb like the Lu King's Palace must be very well hidden and not easy to find.

The Warring States period silk scroll that records the location of the Lu King's Palace is a painting, which is an ancient coded map.

It would be extremely difficult for an ordinary person to crack.

Even so, so many people still flock here every year.

There's only one possibility: someone deliberately leaked information about the Lu Palace to lure people here.

As for the purpose, Zhang Hao doesn't know yet.

But he had a vague feeling that this was a conspiracy.

Regardless of the dangers, the Lu Palace is a must-visit. Not only does it contain many special items, but clearing the ancient tomb also grants you extra chances for fusion.

Moreover, the more dangerous the ancient tomb, the more fusion attempts you will receive after clearing it.

So he will not back down no matter what.

After dinner, everyone returned to their rooms to rest.

There were many mosquitoes in the mountains. Just as Zhang Hao was about to close the window and light mosquito coils, a dark shadow rushed straight towards him.

He dodged to the side and saw a bat rush in and crash into the wall.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the bat had already passed away.

Bats are said to navigate using sound waves; they can emit a special ultrasonic wave from their throats, which will turn back when they encounter an obstacle.

Their brains receive information and calculate the shape, distance, and other information of objects to form an image.

Therefore, even if a bat goes blind, it will not affect its survival.

The bat has now not only rushed into the room, but also crashed into the wall and killed itself.

Logically, this situation shouldn't have happened.

When Zhang Hao saw the bat's wings, he instantly understood why: its wings were injured.

Bats' ability to locate objects using sound waves is their most prominent characteristic.

The fused bats should also gain this ability.

Zhang Hao glanced at the attribute panel and saw that he still had three chances to fuse.

He picked up the bat carcass from the ground, and then, with a thought, gave the system an order.

"Fused Bats!"

[Ding, command received, fusion initiation.]

As the system notification sounded, the bat corpse in his hand instantly transformed into a drop of black liquid, which then transformed into countless tiny molecules that enveloped his entire body.

These molecules seem to come alive and desperately try to penetrate the body.

[Ding, congratulations host, sixth fusion complete. Fusion item: Bat.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the fusion item's property: Sound Wave Positioning.]

After gaining the ability to locate objects with sound waves, Zhang Hao gained a deeper understanding of this ability.

Besides allowing people to see things in the dark as if it were daytime, it can also accurately determine the location of objects, unaffected by the surrounding environment.

Most importantly, wherever sound waves can reach, even the smallest crack, he can know the specific situation there.

This ability is truly incredible, because due to factors such as objects blocking the view or lighting, the distance of a person's line of sight is often limited.

Now that we have the ability to locate objects with sound waves, this limitation is essentially non-existent.

Even in places where the view is obstructed, sound wave positioning can be used to locate locations that are out of sight.

Zhang Hao went to the window and sent a sound wave through the darkness outside the room, accompanied by a rumbling vibration.

In the blink of an eye, the situation in the darkness, beyond the reach of sight, clearly appeared in his mind, with every tiny detail clearly visible.

Sound wave localization is indeed a powerful capability.

As long as there are enough times to fuse, there will be countless more abilities like this. It's unimaginable how powerful I will become by then.

……

The next morning, it was just dawn.

Zhang Hao heard noises from the next room and vaguely heard that Uncle Wu and the others had gotten up.

Zhang Hao woke up Wu Tianzhen, and the two washed up and went downstairs for breakfast.

After the guests had eaten and drunk their fill and packed two days' worth of food, they set off to search for the ancient tomb.

Although Uncle Wu had a map, it was deciphered from the Warring States period silk manuscript, and many places had changed over the past thousand years.

Fortunately, an ancient tomb was discovered during a landslide a few years ago, which gave him a general direction.

After two hours of traversing mountains and valleys, the team finally reached the landslide site. According to the villagers, news spread that many human heads and even a tomb of immortals were discovered when the landslide occurred.

Uncle Wu walked to a high place, took out a map, compared it with the surrounding environment, pondered for a while, and said: "It seems that our previous speculation was correct. This is the location of the burial pit."

Panzi, Da Kui, you two search the area and see if you can find the entrance.

"Yes, Third Master!"

The two of them responded and took out their detection tools to search the vicinity.

"Third Master, there's a situation here!"

Soon after, Panzi's shouts came over.
