System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Attack with fire!"

As soon as Zhang Hao gave the order, Zhang Qilin, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie immediately threw all the torches in their hands forward, leaving only the torch in Wu Tianzhen's hand.

"Crackling and crashing!"

As Zhang Qilin, Fatty, and the other three threw out their torches, a series of crackling sounds and an unbearable stench filled the air.

The swarms of corpse beetles were instantly burned to death, and their bodies fell down through the gaps in the iron bridge.

The other corpse beetles that were about to climb up immediately retreated in groups, showing that, just as Zhang Hao said, they were very good at climbing fire.

Moreover, their leader had already been crushed to death by Zhang Hao, so there was no point in them charging up now.

As for the corpse beetles that failed to retreat in time or were burned to death and left behind, they all perished at Zhang Hao's feet.

Then they merged directly! "Look, there's something... wait, there's someone... hey, fellow villager..."

Just then, the fat man, who was about to put down his gun, suddenly spotted something walking at the end of the iron bridge directly in front of him and immediately raised his gun again.

But when they saw that this row of 'objects' were actually people, they were stunned.

He really didn't expect that there was another group of people besides them, and that they had even crossed the iron bridge before them.

But when he shouted twice and received no response, his expression turned serious.

Because he realized that these 'people' were not very unusual.

Even if we disregard the amplification here, his voice was so loud that the 'person' on the other side of the iron bridge should have been able to hear it.

"They are all dead, but they probably don't know they are dead, and they are being pulled forward by something."

At this moment, Zhang Qilin spoke up.

He immediately noticed the clues about the group of people ahead.

"Hiss! So many people? No wonder it attracted so many corpse beetles! This place is truly dangerous!"

The fat man clicked his tongue in amazement.

At the same time, the markings on these people's clothes indicate that they are not ordinary people either, including archaeological teams and people who, like them, are professional tomb raiders.

There were also some people dressed in strange clothes, much like the corpse drivers described in comic books.

They were being pulled forward silently, heads bowed, without saying a word.

But when they reached the halfway point, whether due to the fat man's sonic waves or some other reason, they all collapsed to the ground and turned into ashes, clearly having been dead for a long time.

"hiss!"

Fatty, Wu Tianzhen, and the others gasped in shock at the sight before them.

I found what I saw here to be extremely eerie, just like the underworld.

Especially now that they are in the underground passage, it's as if they've entered the underworld, the netherworld.

"Uncle, look! Isn't that a man-eating flower? Could this really be the Bridge of Helplessness, with the Underworld below?"

At this moment, Wu Tianzhen, who was quietly following Zhang Hao, suddenly called out.

Where the corpses had fallen, strange flowers had appeared, each with five petals and leaves that were thirty to forty centimeters long.

As soon as the flower buds sprouted, the vines grew rapidly, just like a person's hand contracting, and they grew very quickly.

They quickly climbed onto the iron bridge and crawled towards Zhang Hao and the others, just like the man-eating flower described in the book.

According to the book, the man-eating flower is not a painting of the human world, but a flower of the ghost world.

Now that so many man-eating flowers have appeared here, Wu Tianzhen naturally felt that he had entered the ghost realm, and this was the Bridge of Helplessness.

"This man-eating flower is not only ferocious, but it can also cause hallucinations. Everyone, stay close to me!"

Zhang Hao nodded and said that he recognized it as the legendary man-eating flower that grows in the underworld.

However, he was not afraid at all and walked straight forward.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and the others quickly followed.

Zhang Qilin immediately threw out the Black Gold Ancient Blade, which precisely severed the vine of one of the man-eating flowers.

The severed vine immediately bled, then quickly healed, and the two broken sections of the vine were joined together again.

Then pollen began to scatter in the air, and to everyone's astonishment, it looked as if fairies were dancing gracefully. Apart from Zhang Hao, Zhang Qilin, and Meng Qianzi, who were the Ghost King of the Mountain, everyone else was completely mesmerized.

The fat guy, in particular, was practically drooling with envy.

"Wake up, everyone! What you're seeing isn't real; it's an illusion caused by the pollen of these carnivorous flowers!"

Seeing the fat man and the others in this state, Zhang Qilin immediately shouted loudly.

He had read about the characteristics of the man-eating flower in ancient books and knew that it first caused hallucinations, that is, it made people feel hallucinatory, and then it devoured people's essence and flesh as nutrients.

"Bang bang bang!"

Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was straightforward. He walked up and trampled several carnivorous plants to death, then absorbed their powerful supply properties.

These man-eating flowers are extremely hallucinogenic, but they were of no use to Zhang Hao. Dealing with them was effortless, even easier than killing the corpse beetles.

With their deaths, the fat man and the others regained their senses. When they saw the blank space in front of them, their expressions changed drastically, and they were quite frightened.

The fat man, in particular, gave Zhang Hao a thumbs-up, praising him highly and saying that if it weren't for Zhang Hao, he, Fatty, would definitely be hanging here today.

Zhang Hao nodded, said nothing more, and stretched out his foot to crush all the carnivorous plants to death.

Then he turned around and looked at the iron bridge.

This iron bridge exudes a strange aura. If they didn't have to return the way they came, he would have loved to merge with it directly.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just then, a drumming sound came from ahead. The drumming was very rhythmic, as if a professional was playing it.

At the same time, Zhang Hao and the others could clearly see that the coffin that had been bound by iron chains was not far ahead, and it seemed to have stopped because of the drumbeats.

Upon hearing the drumbeats, the fat man and the others once again showed expressions of rapture, as if they were listening to celestial music.

Not only the fat man, but even Zhang Qilin, who had Qilin blood in his body, felt his mind damaged and wanted to completely lose himself in the sound of the drums.

As the drums beat, the corpse beetles that had previously fled under the iron bridge all crawled back up and surged towards Zhang Hao and his group like a tide.

However, Zhang Hao had already taken the torch from Wu Tianzhen and lit it on the ground. The ashes of the corpses on the ground immediately caught fire, turning into phosphorescent flames. With crackling sounds, they burned all the first batch of corpse beetles that rushed in.

One or two rushed forward quickly, but Zhang Hao stomped them under his feet and crushed them to death, completely merging them with his own power.

"Dong dong!"

At this point, the drumbeats became more pronounced, with a very distinct rhythm.
