System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Zhang Hao and his group entered a cave about the size of a basketball court.

The cave seemed to be alive, with its walls constantly shaking.

He looked around and found the ground covered with palm-sized seashells that looked somewhat like scallops.

As soon as it approached the shell, a tentacle the size of a hand emerged.

It turned out to be the back of a human hand. I had seen it before in the tomb of the Khmer king. This kind of shell is like a bomb that can explode and it is quite powerful.

"Yi Sa, is this the Drifting Cave you guys were talking about? This cave is so small you can see the whole thing at a glance, where is the ancestral fortress?"

The fat man took off his oxygen mask and looked around the cave with great surprise.

Yi Sa was also completely baffled: "The Drifting Cave shouldn't be like this. Maybe we didn't even enter it?"

“SaSa is right. To enter the Drifting Cave, you must master the Golden Soup Recipe. After the Water Sacrifice, the Golden Soup Recipe did not appear in our minds. This is definitely not the Drifting Cave.”

Zhang Hao smiled upon hearing this: "If neither of you has the recipe for the Golden Soup in your minds, then what about me?"

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie turned around abruptly to look at Zhang Hao, their faces filled with shock as they exclaimed in unison:

"what?"

"The recipe for Golden Soup should only appear in the minds of the best water demons, but you are clearly not a water demon, so why did you get the recipe for Golden Soup?"

Zhang Hao shrugged: "I don't know why this is happening, but I can confirm that we've now entered a mobile underground cave."

"But this cave is so small, there's no sign of an ancient tomb at all!"

The fat man turned his head and looked around with a helpless expression.

"Don't you find the materials that make up the cave familiar?"

Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, everyone looked towards the cave wall.

"Holy crap, it's the Breath of Heaven!"

The fat man was the first to recognize him.

"That's right, this cave is made of Breath Soil. Also, the Drifting Cave is not just a single cave; it consists of countless smaller caves and a main cave. We can enter the other caves by breaking through the cave walls."

After Zhang Hao finished speaking, he walked to the side of the cave and, with a thought, unleashed his ability to emit light and heat.

The body emitted a bright light while the surrounding temperature rose sharply.

The cave walls in front of him, made of the Breath of Earth, instantly dehydrated and turned into something like clay.

Zhang Hao threw a punch, and with a loud "boom," a large hole opened up in the cave wall.

Looking out of the cave entrance, everyone discovered that there was indeed another cave outside, and that cave was much larger than the one they were in, at least dozens or even hundreds of times larger.

The fat man approached the cave entrance, raised his flashlight, and shone it into the cave outside. The light couldn't even illuminate the entire cave, revealing its size.

At this point, everyone realized that what Zhang Hao said was true; he really had obtained the Golden Soup Recipe.

"Boss, you're amazing! You actually managed to obtain the Golden Soup Manual, the most precious treasure of our Three Surnames Water Demons. You can have all the wealth that the Water Demons have accumulated over thousands of years just by hand."

"Brother Ding, what's so amazing about the Golden Soup Recipe? Why are you all so shocked?"

Wu Tianzhen asked curiously.

"We water demons are in the underwater business. To put it bluntly, we build underwater tombs for kings, generals, and the wealthy. To enter the tomb, you must use an ancestral tablet to guide you."

However, as you know, due to the changing dynasties and the rise and fall of families, many ancient tombs have been forgotten by later generations.

Although they don't remember those ancient tombs, the treasures inside are still there.

Therefore, the water spirits of all dynasties recorded the locations of those ancient tombs, as well as the mechanisms and traps inside, in a book known as the Golden Tomb Records.

However, the Golden Soup Recipe is quite special; it is not written on paper, but rather a fusion of the memories of a powerful water demon.

To obtain the Golden Soup Recipe, one must undergo a water ritual to gain the approval of the water spirits of past generations; only then will it appear in their memories.

Although we say that only the most outstanding water spirits in history can obtain the Golden Soup Manual, that is not actually the case. Historically, only a handful of water spirits have obtained the Golden Soup Manual.

That's why we were surprised that the boss got the Golden Soup recipe; he's clearly not a water demon!

"The wealth accumulated by the water demon over thousands of years—the treasures in those ancient tombs must be immense!"

Wu Tianzhen was also extremely shocked after she figured out what the Golden Soup Recipe was.

Even Zhang Qilin glanced at Zhang Hao.

"Holy crap, Brother Zhang Hao has struck it rich! The wealth in these ancient tombs is probably beyond description, even surpassing the riches of a nation. Could I pick out a couple of items to display in my antique shop to make it look impressive?"

When the fat man heard that the Golden Soup Manual recorded the locations of many ancient tombs, his eyes widened with envy.

"of course can!"

Zhang Hao wasn't a stingy person; the fat man was one of his own, so giving him a few antiques was no big deal.

Most importantly, ordinary antiques are of no use to him.

Zhang Hao needs special and rare items.

Back then, a Crimson Pearl was found in the Yi family's treasure vault. The wealth accumulated by the Water Demon over thousands of years must contain some special items as well.

Zhang Hao decided to open the ancient tomb recorded in the Golden Soup Manual after he finished his current work.

These ancient tombs not only allow him to obtain special or rare items, but more importantly, they also allow him to farm fusion attempts.

Knowing the mechanisms and traps inside the ancient tomb in advance greatly reduces the danger of entering it, and you won't get many chances to complete it, but that doesn't stop the fact that there are many ancient tombs recorded in the Golden Tomb Manual.

Even if you only get one fusion attempt after clearing those ancient tombs, you can get dozens or even hundreds of fusion attempts as a reward if you explore all the ancient tombs in the Golden Soup Manual.

By then, the number of fusions won't be as tight as it is now.

When you encounter a suitable item, you can immediately fuse it to enhance your strength.

"Alright, let's go check out the cave outside first, instead of wasting time here."

Zhang Hao said something and prepared to crawl into the cave entrance to check the situation in the outer cave.

As soon as he moved, a seashell on the ground suddenly stretched out a tentacle like a palm and pressed it down on the ground, causing the entire seashell to spring up.

The seashell opened its two shells and bit Zhang Hao's arm like a human mouth, clamping down on his arm in an instant.

Zhang Hao pinched the seashell, pulled it off, and threw it far away.

"boom!"

The clam exploded while it was still in mid-air.

"Da da da……"

It's unclear whether the explosion startled the people in the cave, but all the hands on the ground opened their shells, and a hand emerged from inside. It pressed down on the ground and then bounced into the air.

In an instant, the entire cave was filled with open human-shaped shells.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie and the others were all stunned by the sight of the sky filled with human-shaped shells, and stood frozen in place, not daring to move easily.

The human hand clam can not only bite, but also explode.

The damage from a single shell is limited, but if so many explode at the same time, it's enough to cause a lot of trouble for everyone.

Zhang Hao wasn't afraid, but the others couldn't withstand the power of so many people exploding their shells.

"What are you waiting for? Run!"
