System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

But when he turned around to look, he couldn't see anyone, so he swung his knife to test it.

"So that's how it is. Young man, you seem to know a lot about ghost soldiers. We can see them, but can't they see us?"

"Normally, we can't see each other. We can only see each other when our spaces overlap. I don't know what went wrong with this space, but only we can see them."

Zhang Qilin is a man of few words, and at first, when Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, and others asked him questions, they received no response.

However, after several brushes with death, he remained taciturn, but he would generally answer people's questions.

Zhang Hao didn't know much about ghost soldiers, and this was the first time he had ever seen them.

He hadn't expected that the ghost soldiers were from a different time and space than them.

But if they are from different time periods, how did the Yin Soldier General sense his connection with Zhang Qilin?

It was clear that Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie were all together.

Why couldn't the Yin Soldier General sense their presence?

Zhang Hao realized that the only difference between him and Zhang Qilin and the others was that they both had the bloodline of the Qilin, while the others did not.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao remembered something: some things recorded in the Hemu Collection when he obtained it.

The Riverwood Collection was written by a general of a mute army.

The group of ghostly soldiers who just passed by seemed unable to speak and communicated entirely through sign language.

Could that army we just saw be the infamous "Mute Army"?

If that's the case, it means they are very close to the Qinling Sacred Tree.

Because the mute army eventually entered the Royal Mausoleum of the She Kingdom, which is located under the sacred tree in the Qinling Mountains.

"Come on, let's hurry and follow them. As long as we follow them, we can find the Qinling Sacred Tree!"

"What? Uncle, you said that following the ghost soldiers will lead us to the divine tree? Why?"

"There's no time to explain, let's hurry up and catch up."

Zhang Hao had once heard a saying that some people's souls are trapped in a certain place after they die and will keep repeating the things they did before they died.

This mute army is very likely because their souls are trapped inside the Ku Kingdom's tomb, which is why they were able to encounter them.

Zhang Hao raised his voice and followed, and the others followed suit.

The group followed the ghostly army at a distance as they traversed the jungle.

About half an hour later, Zhang Hao and his group followed the ghost soldiers to the bottom of a cliff.

There is a crack in the middle of the cliff, straight up and down, with unusually smooth sides as if it were cleaved by a knife.

On each side of the crack stands a stone statue, each over ten meters tall, so lifelike they look just like real people.

The ghostly soldiers passed through the middle of the stone statues and went straight into the crack.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao and the others followed.

The crack wasn't wide, just enough for one person to pass through.

It would be very difficult for someone with a strong build like a fat person to pass through.

"Damn it, why is it so narrow? Could it be that the stone walls on both sides are compressing inwards again?"

The fat man recalled the traps they encountered at the shipwreck tomb and said, "If Brother Zhang Hao hadn't thought of escaping upwards, we probably would have been crushed into mincemeat by those stone walls."

"Don't worry, Fatty, I'm pretty sure the stone wall hasn't moved."

Entering the crevice, Zhang Hao looked up at the sky and saw that there was only a narrow gap, about the width of a finger, above his head through which he could see the sky outside. This was the true "One Line Sky".

Zhang Hao and his group followed the ghost soldiers to the end of the crevice, where a stone door appeared.

At this moment, a gap opened in the stone gate, and the ghostly soldiers entered the stone gate directly through the gap.

To avoid being discovered by the ghost soldiers, Zhang Hao and his group waited a while before entering through the crack in the door.

Behind the stone gate was a huge stone chamber with a dome overhead that looked like an upside-down soup bowl. There were some murals painted on it, but most of them had fallen off, and Wu Tianzhen couldn't make out what they depicted.

The water in the stone chamber was up to Zhang Hao's knees, and it got deeper the further he went in.

Suddenly, he noticed something passing by his feet.

"Watch out, there's something in the water!"

Before Zhang Hao finished speaking, a fish the size of a truck cab darted out of the water.

It opened its large mouth full of fangs and lunged at Zhang Hao and the others.
