System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Seeing the scene before him, Zhang Hao easily connected it to the fact that everyone had come in together, except for Yi Sa and Ding Yudie, who did not have black handprints on them.

Now that they've entered the tomb passage, only the two of them are being attacked by poisonous insects.

The problem clearly lies in the black handprint.

Zhang Hao took off his shirt, brought his nose to his shoulder and smelled it. Sure enough, the black handprint had a faint medicinal scent.

He tried to wipe the handprint off his shoulder, but just like before, he couldn't remove it at all.

It seems that the trials for the Zhang family ancestors began the moment they entered the ancient tomb.

The reason why there are black handprints and poisonous insects attacking those who are not marked may be because there is a very important secret in the tomb that cannot be known by those whose bodies are possessed by the soul of a god.

That's why such a mechanism was set up at the entrance.

Seeing that Yi Sa and Ding Yudie had more and more blisters on their bodies, Zhang Hao immediately took out a dagger, cut his finger, and smeared the Qilin blood on their mouths to detoxify them.

Surprisingly, the Qilin blood failed to work.

That makes sense. It's not hard to understand why the Zhang family ancestors would specifically seek out poisonous insects immune to Qilin blood as a test for their descendants.

"Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, you two can't come in with us. You'll have to wait outside."

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie both looked unwilling, but there was nothing they could do. If they continued to resist, they would only face certain death.

Left with no other choice, the two nodded and retreated, leaving the tomb passage.

The remaining four, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Zhang Qilin, continued deeper into the area.

At the end of the tomb passage is a stone door, which is slightly ajar.

The fat man raised his flashlight and shone it into the stone gate.

Inside was a tomb chamber filled with pottery jars about half a person's height, each with a tuft of black hair-like strands on top.

"Man-eating mycelium!"

The fat man exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the thing.

I've seen this kind of thing before in Guiguzi's tomb. As soon as a person gets close, it moves like tentacles, burrowing into the person's body through the pores and sucking blood to nourish itself.

It is also highly poisonous, capable of instantly turning a person into a puddle of pus.

"With so many carnivorous bacteria, how are we supposed to get in?"

Wu Tianzhen and Fatty were momentarily enraged upon seeing these man-eating fungal mycelia.

There weren't many of these man-eating fungi encountered in Guiguzi's tomb, and Zhang Qilin used his Qilin blood to drive them away.

However, the entire tomb is currently filled with man-eating fungi, and even if Zhang Qilin's blood were drained completely, it wouldn't be enough.

"We must get through here."

Zhang Qilin said a sentence and then drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade. Judging from his posture, he was preparing to use Qilin blood to deal with them.

At this moment, Zhang Hao reached out and stopped him: "I'll do it."

Zhang Hao pushed open the stone door and walked into the tomb chamber. He originally intended to pull out the mycelium and throw it aside, but he stopped as soon as he reached out his hand.

As he was working, he heard a noise coming from inside the pottery jar, and through the mycelium, he could vaguely see black beetles crawling inside.

The jar contained nothing but the Corpse Beetle King.

The Corpse Beetle King is covered in poison; if bitten, it will instantly turn you into a blood corpse.

The Zhang family ancestors were truly ruthless towards their descendants. They've only just entered the area and already encountered terrifying creatures like cannibalistic bacteria and corpse beetle kings. Who knows what other terrifying things await them as they venture deeper into the territory?

"Uncle, what's wrong?"

Seeing that Zhang Hao had entered the tomb but hadn't made a move yet, Wu Tianzhen asked him curiously.

There's something in the jar; we need to figure out a way to deal with it.

Zhang Hao glanced around and found that the entire tomb chamber was occupied by these jars, making it not so easy to get through.

Suddenly he noticed something unusual about the tomb chamber. This tomb chamber was at least four or five meters high, while ordinary tomb chambers were only about two meters high.

Seeing this, he smiled knowingly; it turned out that this tomb chamber was also a trap.

The Zhang family ancestors deliberately raised the height of the tomb chamber.

If a normal person discovers corpse beetles and man-eating fungal hyphae below, they would definitely want to walk over them.

Once the climbing ropes are secured to both sides of the tomb chamber, people can climb over them.

But things are definitely not that simple; doing so would surely trigger even more dangerous mechanisms.

"Please wait outside for a moment."

Zhang Hao gave a reminder and then reached out to move the pottery jar.

As soon as his hand approached, the mycelium suddenly swarmed towards him.

Instantly, Zhang Hao's skin became as hard as diamond, and the mycelium couldn't penetrate it at all.

Zhang Hao simply ignored the matter and picked up one pottery jar after another, stacking them on top of the other pottery jars on the next layer.

In this way, he spent more than ten minutes clearing a two-meter-wide passage from the middle of the pottery jar.

"Uncle is amazing! If it weren't for you, we would have had to turn back and go home."

"The ancestors of the Zhang family never imagined that their descendants would produce such monsters as the Zhang brothers, Zhang Hao and Zhang Hao."

"Alright, let's hurry up and go, lest we cause trouble if we linger."

Zhang Hao urged them on and walked directly through the newly cleared passage, passing through the tomb chamber and entering a corridor.

"Fuck, what is this?"

He had just passed through the tomb when he heard the fat man shouting behind him.

Looking back, I saw that there was suddenly a clump of clear, viscous liquid on the fat man's body.

He was about to reach out and brush the thing away when he heard a hissing sound coming from his clothes, and a thick plume of white smoke rose up.

A large hole was instantly corroded into the clothes.

"Fatty, take your clothes off right now!"

"Oh!"

The fat man was stunned by the sudden scene and hurriedly took off his clothes and threw them away.

"Snapped!"

Just then, a clump of thick white liquid fell from mid-air and brushed past the fat man.

The liquid fell onto the stone slab and immediately hissed and emitted a puff of white smoke.

Everyone looked up at the ceiling and saw a giant centipede, two or three meters long, pitch black, with several pairs of wings on its back, floating above the tomb ceiling above the fat man's head.

At this moment, it was tilting its head down at the fat man, as if it had seen delicious food, and thick liquid kept dripping from the corner of its mouth.

"My goodness, it's a six-winged centipede! Your Zhang family ancestor was truly skilled, managing to bring over something like this!"

Before he could finish speaking, he shouted, "Run!"

After saying that, he ran away without a second thought.

Seeing this, the others also exerted all their strength to rush into the passageway behind the tomb chamber.

"Buzzing..."

As everyone fled, the six-winged centipede also moved, swooping down from mid-air.

It opened its jaws and bit at the fat man's neck.

At that moment, a system notification sounded in Zhang Hao's mind.

[Ding! Special item detected: Six-winged centipede inner core.]

Zhang Hao didn't hear the system notification when he first passed by, which means the six-winged centipede arrived later.

This huge six-winged centipede has existed for who knows how many years.

Its inner elixir is formed from the essence of the whole body, which must be very beneficial.

As the six-winged centipede swooped down, Zhang Hao flashed forward and punched it in the head.

With a loud "bang," the six-winged centipede shattered into dozens of pieces and fell to the ground.

Wu Tianzhen and Fatty were both completely dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"Is this the legendary flying centipede that possesses magic, can command centipedes, and can devour dragons in the heavens?"

"It seems they don't live up to their reputation. How could they be killed so easily by Brother Zhang Hao?"
