System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The rope left behind by the ancestors of Shan Gui Lou when they went down into the cave is still there.

Zhang Hao and his group went down into the cave using the available ropes.

This is a cave that resembles a sinkhole.

The top is an open opening, about ten meters in diameter and at least a hundred meters deep.

The cave is surrounded by trees and vines, completely obscuring the entrance. Only by entering the cave can one see its full view.

The cave walls were dark and damp, covered with green moss, making them extremely slippery underfoot.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, and Zhang Qilin—the six of them descended with great difficulty, except for Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin who descended easily. Their speed was extremely slow.

It's hard to imagine that a woman over a hundred years old could descend to the bottom of the cave in such an environment; it's simply unimaginable.

According to the guards at the cave entrance, the ancestor had only been down there a short time and should still be on the rope, but when Zhang Hao looked down into the cave, he didn't see anyone.

"Hey, what's that on the cave wall?"

The fat man suddenly stared at a spot on the cave wall and exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Hao looked in the direction the fat man was staring at and saw a scribble-like mark there, which looked like it had just been drawn recently.

"It must have been drawn by our ancestors who went down into the cave before us; it's probably a rune for praying for peace or something similar."

"Look, there are some down there too!"

Soon everyone discovered that the same runes would appear at intervals, and the runes became more and more dense as they went deeper into the cave.

"Squeak..."

Suddenly, a sound of animal calls rang in everyone's ears.

Suddenly, a group of enormous rats appeared in the cave.

They crawl out of the holes in the cave wall, spread their limbs, leap into the air, and begin to glide.

"Holy crap, there's such a huge flying squirrel in the cave!"

"Fatty, have you ever seen such a big flying squirrel?!"

The large rats gliding in the air spread out their limbs like a door panel. When they spread out their limbs, you can see a membrane between their limbs and their body, just like the wingsuit flying suit.

What's most remarkable is that these large rats have claws that are a foot long, and each claw has a sharp edge.

Each swipe makes a "swish, swish" sound.

They kept hovering near the rope.

"Flying squirrel, this is a flying squirrel. I've seen it in news reports before. These flying squirrels have a peculiar hobby: they like to cut ropes. Many mountaineers have been killed by these flying squirrels."

Wu Tianzhen recognized the origin of the large rat in the cave.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"No wonder they were all moving near the rope; they were preparing to cut it."

"What should we do? We're relying entirely on the rope in our hands for support. If it's cut, we'll fall and be smashed to pieces."

The cave walls were slippery and there was nowhere to put your feet. They were also threatened by flying squirrels, and they were all sweating profusely with anxiety.

"Look, that flying squirrel is coming over. It looks like it's about to make its move."

Just as everyone was wondering what to do, a flying squirrel approached the rope and was about to cut it with its claws.

"go with!"

The fat man took out his entrenching tool and waved it upwards to drive them away.

However, the flying squirrel only flies a little upwards, and the entrenching tool can't reach it at all.

Zhang Hao was about to unleash his devouring ability to absorb the flying squirrel's life force when a thought crossed his mind.

Just then, the images and text on the cave wall suddenly flashed with a yellow light.

The moment the yellow light appeared, the flying squirrels scattered and fled, some even falling directly after being hit by the light.

In an instant, not a single flying squirrel circling around the rope remained.

"My goodness, those runes were used to scare away flying squirrels!"

"The mountain spirit is truly skilled; it can drive away flying squirrels using only runes."

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie couldn't help but smile when they witnessed the Mountain Ghost's methods.

The more powerful the mountain spirit is, the greater the probability of resolving the water demon mutation issue.

Half an hour later, Zhang Hao and his six companions descended to the bottom of the cave.

The bottom of the cave was filled with water, and a small boat was floating on it. There was a small opening on one side.

Zhang Hao and the others jumped onto the small boat, and then glided the boat through the hole.

The cave was pitch black, so Fatty and Ding Yudie quickly took out powerful flashlights and shone them into the depths of the cave.

This is a karst cave, filled with water at the bottom. The small boat drifted along the riverbed at the bottom of the cave and reached the end of the riverbed after about ten minutes.

"Look, there are runes on the cave wall over there, similar to the ones we saw on the cave wall before."

Wu Tianzhen pointed to the shore and shouted.

"It seems that the patriarch of Shan Gui Lou left from that direction!"

Zhang Hao and his group disembarked from the small boat and headed towards the direction of the runes.

Soon they entered a huge cave.

The fat man shone his flashlight forward, and several golden beams flashed.

His eyes lit up when he saw this: "Gold! There's gold up ahead!"

The fat man quickly walked forward and saw a platform about two or three meters in diameter in the middle of the cave. In the middle of the platform was a pair of embroidered shoes, and the golden light was coming from the shoes.

"Embroidered shoes made of gold thread must be worth a lot of money!"

“Look, there are gold ingots inside the embroidered shoes.”

The fat man's eyes lit up when he saw the gold, and he walked forward to reach out and take the embroidered shoes.

He had barely reached out his hand, before he even touched the embroidered shoes, when the powerful flashlight in his hand began to flash.

"Fatty, don't touch it!"

Zhang Hao suddenly remembered that he had seen the legend of the woman from Luodong in Furong Town, which mentioned that she had embroidered shoes filled with gold.

These shoes are called "Married Golden Silkworms," ​​and they are a wedding gift from the Cave God to the women who have fallen into the cave.

Whoever touches these shoes is said to have accepted the Cave God's betrothal gifts and must marry the Cave God, or they will turn into a bloodthirsty monster.

Just then, a cold wind rose, and all the flashlights in everyone's hands went out with a "snap," only to come back on after more than ten seconds.

At this moment, Zhang Hao frowned, as a familiar stench of corpses had just wafted towards him.

He was all too familiar with this stench of death; it was the smell emanating from a person whose body had been possessed by the consciousness of God.

Both Yi Sa and Ding Yudie had that smell.

At this moment, the flashlights in everyone's hands turned on again.

Several red coffins appeared above everyone's heads at some unknown time, hanging vertically.

"Rumble..."

Suddenly the coffins began to shake, and one after another they fell to the ground with a loud "bang" before the lids fell to the ground.

“1、2、3、4、5、6，咱们6个人正好6口棺材，该不会是给咱们准备的棺材吧？”

"Fatty, what nonsense are you talking about? There are corpses in the coffins!"

"Hey, wait a minute, look at the clothes on the corpse in the coffin, they're exactly the same as the ones we're wearing."

"Holy crap, the corpses in the coffin are us!"
