System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"call……"

"That was close! If we had been any slower, would we have become one of those corpses in the Stone Chamber Murder Case from the Classic of Mountains and Seas?"

This time, not only was the opening of the crack difficult, but the healing speed was also exceptionally fast.

Almost everyone rushed into the rift the moment it opened, but even so, it was completely healed immediately after Meng Qianzi entered the space.

"You're right. If you're any slower, you'll merge into the stone."

After saying a few weak words, Meng Qianzi collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

At this moment, they were already in the third mountain, at the location of the Mountain Gallbladder.

Zhang Hao looked around and saw a bronze chain hanging from the top of his head in the very center. At the bottom of the chain was a stone about half a person's height, shaped somewhat like a tongue.

He pointed to the hanging tongue and asked, "Is that the mountain gall?"

Meng Qianzi looked in the direction Zhang Hao pointed and her expression changed drastically.

"No, that's not a wild gall, how could this be?"

"Could it be that Aunt Seven lied to us, and the mountain gall isn't here at all?"

The news that Shan Dan was in the three mountains of Luo Tianhuang was told to her by her seventh aunt, and she has always believed it.

After a great deal of effort, they finally made it into the Triple Mountain, but there was no sign of the Mountain Gallbladder.

Meng Qianzi was completely distraught.

"Seventh Aunt wouldn't lie to me, so why isn't there any wild ginseng in this?"

"Who is your seventh aunt?"

"That is the seventh ancestor of Shan Gui Lou."

Zhang Hao nodded. He had never met any of the top seven ancestors, so he couldn't guess what was going on.

However, he had a vague idea in his mind.

Perhaps the ancestor of Shan Gui Lou who was controlled by the water spirit was not only the one from Xijiang Miao Village. This seventh ancestor may also have been controlled by the water spirit.

Whether this is true or not, we'll only know for sure after meeting in person.

Obviously, it's impossible to verify this now.

"Da da da……"

Just then, the tongue suddenly trembled violently, and with a "whoosh," it broke free from the bronze chain and rushed towards Zhang Hao and the others.

When it gets close to a person, it bounces into the air and then flicks its tongue to hit the person on the head.

With a muffled thud, one of the mountain spirits had its head smashed open.

He swayed twice and then collapsed to the ground, completely still.

"Everyone, be careful!"

Only then did everyone realize how terrifying this rock was; being hit by it could be fatal instantly.

"This is a tongue that wanders wildly, and its power is astonishing. It will attack all living things around it, so be careful!"

Meng Qianzi recognized the tongue and loudly reminded her.

After killing a mountain spirit, Tongue Chaos jumped up again, this time targeting Wu Tianzhen, who was closest to it.

When Wu Tianzhen saw the tongue being licked at her head, she reflexively raised her arm to defend herself.

Seeing the tongue that was now right in front of him, and recalling the way the man had just died, he was plunged into despair.

"court death!"

Wu Tianzhen was his nephew, and Zhang Hao could never just stand by and watch him die in front of him.

Zhang Hao stepped forward and used his body to block Wu Tianzhen.

"boom!"

Another muffled sound.

When everyone saw the tongue, half a person's height, licking Zhang Hao's head, they were immediately filled with horror and exclaimed in unison:

"Zhang Hao!"

"Brother Zhang Hao!"

"Boss!"

……

Everyone could already foresee Zhang Hao's fate; he would surely suffer the same fate as the mountain ghost before, with his head blown off.

However, something even more terrifying happened the next second.

Zhang Hao acted as if nothing had happened, and with a simple gesture, he pinched the tongue in his hand.

Its tongue thrashed and struggled, but he held it firmly in his hand.

"Uncle, are you alright?"

It was only then that Wu Tianzhen came to her senses.

Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Do I look like something's wrong?"

"That's great, Uncle, you're even better than I thought."

Meng Qianzi and her several mountain ghosts looked at Zhang Hao with expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

They looked at the mountain demon on the ground whose head had been blown open, and then at Zhang Hao's head.

"Liu Qiang's head was instantly licked to pieces by the rampaging tongue, but Zhang Hao's head didn't even have a wound!"

"Why is there such a big difference between two brains?"

Just as everyone was shocked by Zhang Hao's stubbornness, they discovered a notch on his tongue, which was moving erratically.

They looked around and found a small stone that matched the notch on their tongue perfectly.

This means that Zhang Hao's head is harder than a rock.

"This, how is this possible!"

"Monster, Zhang Hao, you're a monster!"

……

Zhang Hao smiled. His head was harder than stone; every part of his body was as hard as diamond, far surpassing ordinary stone.

He exerted force with his hand, unleashing tens of thousands of tons of power. As soon as the tongue moved wildly, a "crack, crack" sound was heard, and the next second it turned into stone powder and slipped from Zhang Hao's palm.

"This this……"

Before Meng Qianzi and her subordinates could recover from the shock they had just experienced, they were immediately stunned by Zhang Hao's actions.

"Is that human being!"

"I have never seen anyone with enough strength to crush a rock with their bare hands!"

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie couldn't stop laughing at the reactions of the people around them.

"Our boss is amazing. We probably reacted just like them when we first witnessed his power!"

After crushing the tongue into powder, Zhang Hao immediately gave the order.

"System, merge the tongue that's wandering."

[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]

As the system notification sounded, the stone powder on the ground instantly disappeared, turning into a bluish liquid that enveloped Zhang Hao's entire body.

The tiny molecules that make up the liquid seem to have a life of their own, desperately trying to penetrate his body.

Once the body has absorbed all the liquid, the system notification sounded again.

[Ding, congratulations host, 80th fusion completed. Fusion item: Tongue Wandering.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing with the Tongue of Chaos and gaining the item trait: 10000 jin of strength.]

The fusion of tongues and their random movements actually increased the force by 5 tons.

In other words, the tongue moves with the force of 5 tons, no wonder it could crack open that mountain demon's head with a single lick.

Compared to its own strength of 10,000 tons, 5 tons of power is insignificant. However, fusing a rare item is still quite significant for the evolution of the Qilin bloodline.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing with the rare item "Tongue Runaway." Qilin bloodline evolution progress +10.]

Zhang Hao opened the attribute panel and saw that the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline had reached 42/120, and it would soon be able to advance to level 5. It was very close to unlocking the bloodline transformation ability at level 9.

In addition, the experience of the All Things Fusion System has increased by 10 points, reaching 10/80. It only takes 70 experience points to upgrade to level 8, and it is only two levels away from unlocking higher-level rare items at level 10.
