System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Once the sound waves reflected back, the entire cave's interior appeared in his mind.

Beneath the nine-headed cypress tree is an altar, in the center of which sits a jade bed of emerald green, upon which lie two corpses.

Normally, the corpses under the Hydra Cypress should have been swept away by the vines long ago, but these two corpses have been lying here for who knows how many years and are still intact.

Moreover, there wasn't a single vine nearby.

Then there is only one possibility: there is a Heavenly Heart Stone nearby that even the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress fears.

Once you have the Heavenly Heart Stone, the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress will be no threat, and saving others will become much easier.

Therefore, the most important thing right now is to get our hands on the Heavenly Heart Stone.

At this moment, his location was more than fifty meters above the altar at the bottom of the cave and more than a hundred meters away, so getting closer would not be so easy.

Suddenly his eyes lit up. Although the vines of the Hydra Cypress were tough, they were no match for his strength.

If you let these vines entangle you and drag you into the tree canopy, the distance to the altar will be halved, making it easier to obtain the Celestial Stone.

"Brother, I'll have the vines pull me over in a bit. You can step back for now and come over after I get the Celestial Stone and send you a signal."

"Ah."

Zhang Qilin responded and retreated, while Zhang Hao gave up resisting and let the Nine-Headed Cypress entangle him.

……

After Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Panzi, Da Kui, and Aning got tangled in the vines, they were pulled into the tree canopy.

There is a tree hollow the size of a basketball court, with piles of bones inside, and corpse beetles crawling around inside from time to time.

Wu Tianzhen and the others were bound by vines and hung above the tree hole, like flesh and blood being dried out, waiting for the corpse beetles to feed on them.

Da Kui was so frightened by what he saw that he almost cried.

"Could we have been dragged into a corpse beetle's lair?!"

"Ha, you're really ignorant. This is the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress. The corpse beetle and the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress have a symbiotic relationship. The corpse beetle's lair is under these bones. Don't struggle, lest you make too much noise and wake up the corpse beetles below."

"Stop arguing, and think about how to escape!"

Pan Zi saw that Da Kui and Fatty were still arguing at this time and angrily scolded them.

"Escape? How can we escape? These thick vines are binding us so tightly. If you move, they'll bind us even tighter. There's no way we can escape."

"Fatty, don't say discouraging things. Your uncle will definitely come to save us."

Wu Tianzhen trusted Zhang Hao as always, even when facing a powerful monster like the Nine-Headed Hydra Cypress, he believed that Zhang Hao would definitely have a way.

"Naive. Not to be rude, but although Brother Zhang Hao is powerful and strong, the Hydra Cypress is no ordinary monster. He can't handle it by himself."

No sooner had the fat man finished speaking than a commotion arose in the tree canopy.

A vine moved swiftly, and then Zhang Hao was seen being entangled and dragged over.

"See? I told you Brother Zhang Hao couldn't do anything about the Nine-Headed Cypress."

"It's over. We're probably really going to die here this time. Even Xiao Hao has been captured."

"Hey, I, Da Kui, haven't even gotten married yet! I don't want to die right now!"

……

Although Wu Tianzhen and the others said different things, without exception, a trace of despair was revealed in their eyes.

Even Wu Tianzhen, who always had a mysterious confidence in Zhang Hao, was no exception.

It was only because I was bound by the hydra vines that I realized how difficult it was to break free.

Even if he were incredibly strong, breaking free from one vine would only result in several more vines wrapping around him, let alone inside the canopy of the Hydra Cypress.

There are countless vines as thick as telephone poles here, making it impossible to escape.

After being dragged into the tree canopy by the tentacle-like vines, Zhang Hao tried to break free of them with all his might.

He discovered that, when bound, the force required to break the vines was much greater than the force required to tear them apart.
