System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

In the middle of the cave stands a towering tree over 100 meters tall, its trunk requiring at least dozens of people holding hands to encircle it.

The tree has many branches, among which are many vines as thick as telephone poles.

"what!"

Just then, a scream suddenly came from the crowd.

Suddenly, a vine as thick as a telephone pole emerged from under the cliff, coiled around the fat man, and dragged him up the tree.

Before anyone could react, even more vines sprouted out.

Those vines were like living tentacles; each time they coiled around someone, they would bind them and drag them away.

In the blink of an eye, only Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin remained on the cliff; everyone else had been swept into the tree canopy by vines and disappeared.

"This is a nine-headed hydra cypress!"

Zhang Qilin gave a reminder, drew his Black Gold Ancient Sword, and rushed to the front to protect Zhang Hao behind him.

Whenever vines came, he would swing his knife and cut them down.

The sounds of "bang, bang, bang" rang out continuously.

The black gold ancient sword, which could cut through iron like mud, would leave a tiny cut on the vines, but it could not cut through them.

As more and more vines sprouted, Zhang Qilin gradually began to struggle.

At that moment, everyone heard the sounds of "Bang, bang, bang!"

Zhang Hao casually grabbed the vine that had rolled over and tore it off with a single effort.

"System, fuse with the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress!"

[Ding, command received, fusion initiation.]

As the system notification sounded, the section of the nine-headed cypress in Zhang Hao's hand transformed into a ball of green liquid, which then gradually dispersed and grew into countless tiny molecules that enveloped his entire body.

These molecules seem to come alive and desperately try to penetrate the body.

[Ding, congratulations host, eighth fusion complete. Fusion item: Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the fusion item's trait: Vitality increased by 500%.]

The ability gained from fusing with the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress is a 500% increase in vitality.

There are many creatures in nature with extremely strong vitality, such as geckos, which have the ability to regenerate their tails.

Now that it has merged with the Nine-Headed Cypress, its vitality has increased by 500%, and I wonder if it has also gained the ability to regenerate severed limbs.

That would be terrifying if someone had that ability.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing the special item Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress. Bloodline evolution progress +1. Level 0 Qilin bloodline evolution progress 1/10.]

Just as I thought, the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress is also a special item.

By fusing 10 special items with the Qilin bloodline, you can upgrade to Tier 1, at which point all your attributes will double and your strength will increase exponentially.

The fusion with the nine-headed cypress was instantaneous.

Zhang Hao dealt with these vines with ease, but as soon as he tore off one vine, two more would appear.

The endless expanse of nine-headed cypress trees seemed boundless.

This may be related to the powerful vitality of the Hydra cypress; a section of a vine that is tens of meters long cannot cause it any fatal damage.

Although the Hydra Cypress could not harm him, he could not do anything to the Hydra Cypress either.

The nine-headed cypress is so large that breaking some vines is of no consequence to it.

The tree can only be completely killed by destroying the entire trunk.

However, given its height of over 100 meters and the trunk requiring dozens of people to encircle, achieving this would be extremely difficult.

Even if Zhang Hao had the strength of tens of thousands of kilograms, he couldn't do it.

While blocking the attacking vines, Zhang Hao pondered how to rescue the person who had been dragged away by the Hydra Cypress.

Suddenly, a name flashed into his mind—Tianxingshi.

This is a stone from outer space, the nemesis of the nine-headed hydra cypress. Wherever the Heavenly Heart Stone appears, the vines within a radius of tens of meters dare not approach.

Even if you just sprinkle some Heavenly Heart Stone powder on your body, you will not be attacked by the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress.

"what……"

Zhang Hao emitted a sound wave into the cave, using his ability to locate objects using sound waves.
