System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The whirlpool on the river surface lasted for more than ten minutes before dissipating, and the river surface returned to its original state, filled with coffins and rotting, unrecognizable corpses.

"The She people worship bronze and are a theocratic state. The tallest building in their cities is often a temple. If we find the temple, we can find the entrance to the She royal tomb!"

“My uncle is right. Back then, most countries were theocratic, and Ku was no exception.”

"So you mean you want to dive to the bottom of the river to find the Ku Kingdom Temple?"

The fat man frowned and said, "We came to the deep mountains and forests this time, and we never thought about diving. We didn't prepare any diving equipment at all. Does that mean that I, Tianzhen, and Xiaoge can't go into the water?"

The fat man was telling the truth; no one had ever thought about diving before coming here, but fortunately Zhang Hao was able to breathe underwater.

Both Yi Sa and Ding Yudie are water demons and can breathe underwater.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said, "In a little while, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, and I will go into the water to find the entrance to the temple and the royal tomb. Once we find the entrance, you can go down. The underground river isn't deep, and you won't have any problem holding your breath for a short time."

Wu Tianzhen, the fat man nodded: "That's all we can do now. The three of us will provide support from up there. With Xiao Ge here, there won't be any danger."

"Row."

After making the arrangements, Zhang Hao, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie jumped directly into the underground river and plunged into the water with a splash.

Under normal circumstances, the water in an underground river should be cool and icy.

But after Zhang Hao and his group jumped into the river, they didn't feel any coolness. Instead, the deeper they went, the warmer the water felt.

When they reached the bottom of the river, the temperature of the surrounding water was even like that of a hot spring, and people felt stuffy and hot when they were soaking in it.

Not only that, normally hot water should rise, but here the hot water not only doesn't rise but sinks to the bottom, which is too strange.

Zhang Hao tapped Yi Sa and Ding Yudie on the shoulders twice, and after they turned around, he gestured with his hands:

"Everyone be careful, something's very strange here!"

"Okay, Zhang Hao."

"Okay, boss."

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie simultaneously gave each other an OK sign.

Go down to the bottom of the river and you can see it much more clearly up close.

At this point, Zhang Hao and his group discovered that most of the bronze city was buried in the soil.

We don't know what happened that caused the entire city to be buried.

Later, due to the erosion of the underground river, a portion of it was exposed on the west bank of the river, which Zhang Hao and his group were able to see.

"Boss, what do we do? Most of the area is buried, and it's very likely that the temple is also buried in the ground. We don't have the ability to burrow into the earth, so it seems your method won't work!"

Zhang Hao did not respond to Ding Yudie.

He emitted two peculiar sound waves toward the two sides of the underground river, and the next second, when the sound waves reflected back, the situation of the underground city appeared in his mind.

Sound travels only a limited distance underwater, much shorter than in air, but it was sufficient for detecting the ancient city of Ku.

In just a short while, Zhang Hao had already thoroughly investigated the situation of the entire Bronze City.

This is a city that is about 400 meters long and wide.

Measuring 400 meters in length and width, with an area of ​​only 16 square meters, it would be roughly the size of a shopping mall in modern times.

However, given the limited productivity during the ancient Shang and Zhou dynasties, a city of 16 square meters was already quite large.

What's even more remarkable is that the entire city was built of bronze, which is simply a miracle.

Zhang Hao discovered that they were currently located on the edge of the city, and as he had guessed, the ancient city of She had the tallest building in the entire city in its very center.

That building must have been the temple of the Ku people.

Because there is a large snake wrapped around the outside of the building.

They worshipped snakes, treating them as gods and offering sacrifices.

Although the temple has been buried by the soil, it is not impossible to enter.

Zhang Hao was surprised to discover that there were underground passages connecting every building in the ancient city of Ku.

They could enter the temple simply by going through a passageway under any building.

"follow me!"

Zhang Hao made a gesture, signaling Yi Sa and Ding Yudie to follow.

Although they didn't know what Zhang Hao was going to do, they followed him without hesitation because of their trust in him.

Zhang Hao and his two companions entered the ancient city of Sheguo from above.

Upon arriving in the city, Zhang Hao went straight to the nearest building and pushed open the door to enter.

Once inside the room, he crawled into the stove.

"What are you still looking at? Come here right now."

Zhang Hao had already discovered the passage, but Yi Sa and Ding Yudie hadn't followed.

He gestured for the two of them to come over.

When the two of them arrived, Zhang Hao crawled directly into the hole under the stove.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie entered the passage and immediately understood Zhang Hao's intention when they saw the extensive network of bronze pipes underground.

"Zhang Hao, you're amazing! How did you know there was a passageway underneath the building?"

"Boss, if I didn't know that this was your first time here, just like the rest of us, I would have doubted that you'd been here before."

Ding Yudie noticed that Zhang Hao made each move without hesitation, as if he already knew everything about the place beforehand.

Zhang Hao smiled. Although it was his first time here, he had already used his sonic positioning ability to survey the entire ancient city beforehand.

The map of the ancient city is now in his mind.

They have such an ability to act as if they've been here before, showing a level of familiarity.

Although the underground passages of the ancient bronze city of Ku are crisscrossed, they are fortunately straight, so as long as you keep walking in one direction, you don't have to worry about getting lost.

Zhang Hao, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie arrived at the very center of the city in just a few minutes.

This is where all the passageways converge, and there is a circular plaza with a diameter of over twenty or thirty meters.

In the very center there is a staircase connecting to the top.

Zhang Hao pushed off with his feet, and his whole body floated upwards.

At the end of the stairs is a round cover.

He placed his hands on it and then pushed hard.

With a "bang," the lid was pushed open, revealing an opening large enough for one person to pass through.

Zhang Hao swam through the opening and entered a large hall.

The main hall is circular, with doors on all four sides.

In the middle stood a huge bronze pillar, on which coiled a monster with two horns on its head.

This monster looks similar to a python, except it has two horns on its head.

Zhang Hao looked up and saw that the hall was at least fifty meters high.

The bronze pillar connects to the top of the hall, and that's where the monster's tail, which coils around the bronze pillar, ends.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie swam into the main hall.

When they shone their flashlights on the monster, they were startled and gestured with their hands:

"My goodness, do such giant snakes really exist in this world?"

"No, it's not a snake, but the ancient mythical beast Zhujiuyin!"
