System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Holy crap, what's on top of that coffin?!"

The pair of red eyes on the stone coffin were bigger than the front of a truck; only ancient behemoths would have such large eyes.

He turned his flashlight and shone it on the stone coffin, where he saw a snake's head that was bigger than a truck.

The snake's head opened its mouth wide, and its tongue protruded from inside, falling to the ground from a height of more than ten meters.

Wu Tianzhen, Xie Xiaohua, and Huo Xiuxiu also shone their flashlights at those huge eyes.

Several flashlights shone simultaneously, instantly illuminating the scene behind the stone coffin.

Only then did everyone realize that the snake head behind the stone coffin was not a real snake, but a huge stone sculpture.

The two red eyes were made of rubies or similar gemstones, which only emitted a red glow when illuminated by a flashlight.

"call……"

"I was terrified just now. If it were really that big of a snake, it would probably have become a spirit by now. We wouldn't even be enough to fill its teeth."

"Forget about that. Do you think that stone coffin might contain the terrifying entity suppressed by the altar?"

"It's not that bad. It's just an ordinary stone coffin. If there were a terrifying being inside, it would have come out long ago. Why would it have waited until now?"

"In that case, let's open the coffin and take a look. There might be some treasure inside."

As he spoke, the fat man rushed forward and circled the stone coffin.

“Naive, this stone coffin seems to be covered with inscriptions. Come and see if you can tell what’s inside.”

Upon hearing the call, Wu Tianzhen immediately stepped forward and squatted down in front of the stone coffin to carefully study the inscriptions on it.

Zhang Hao and the others also stepped forward and surrounded the stone coffin to see what was inside.

As soon as he got close, a system notification sounded in Zhang Hao's mind.

[Ding! Rare item: Holy Sword.]

Zhang Hao was stunned. It was clearly a stone coffin, so where did the holy sword come from? Could it be that the holy sword was inside the stone coffin?

By this time, Wu Tianzhen had already deciphered the inscription on the stone coffin.

"Gu Mo Kingdom was under the jurisdiction of the ancient Loulan Kingdom and was oppressed by the Loulan Queen, causing great suffering to the people. So the Prince of Gu Mo used the Holy Sword to kill the Loulan Queen, but her soul was immortal. Even with the Holy Sword, her soul could not be destroyed, but could only be temporarily severely injured."

To prevent the Loulan Queen from continuing her evil deeds, Prince Gumo brought in a giant black snake that could store human souls and sealed the Loulan Queen's soul inside the snake.

Legend has it that the Queen of Loulan could be resurrected by watering her with the blood and flesh of her descendants.

To prevent her resurrection, the Kingdom of Gumo poured all its resources into building this altar to seal the place away, leaving behind a sacred sword. They hoped that future generations would find a way to completely kill the Queen of Loulan, then open the coffin, retrieve the sword, and kill her, thus eliminating any future threat.

"An immortal soul?"

Upon hearing Wu Tianzhen decipher the ancient script, Zhang Hao suddenly wondered if the immortal soul of the Loulan Queen was related to a god.

If what the sarcophagus says is true, and the Holy Sword can save an immortal soul, then it must also be useful to gods. If so, then he must obtain the Holy Sword.

"Fatty, Little Flower, open the coffin!"

"Brother Zhang Hao, are you interested in the Holy Sword?"

"Ah."

Zhang Hao responded; he was indeed interested in the Holy Blade and there was no need to hide it.

Upon hearing Zhang Hao's words, the fat man immediately rubbed his hands together, ready to make a big splash.

"Open the coffin then! I, Fatty, want to see what kind of treasure this holy sword is hidden inside!"

As he spoke, he took out tools from his backpack, and Xie Xiaohua followed closely behind, each preparing their equipment for opening the coffin.

Xie Xiaohua is cautious and meticulous. At this moment, she is carefully examining every detail of the stone coffin with a flashlight, looking for the best position to open it.

"The material of this stone coffin may seem ordinary, but it actually holds a secret. We must be careful not to damage the inscriptions on it."

He reminded him softly.

Fatty and Xie Xiaohua worked together to carefully pry open the lid of the stone coffin.

With a dull creak, the lid of the stone coffin was slowly pushed open, and an ancient and decaying aura wafted out, causing one to frown.

However, the inside of the stone coffin was not the gold and silver treasures or terrifying monsters that everyone had imagined, but rather pitch black, like a bottomless abyss.

Just as everyone was wondering, a faint beam of light suddenly rose from the bottom of the stone coffin, illuminating a corner inside.

There lay a simple, ancient longsword, its blade gleaming with a faint, cold light, as if it could see into people's hearts.

"The Holy Sword!"

The fat man exclaimed in surprise. He quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the legendary weapon.

The handle is engraved with intricate patterns, and every detail reveals the craftsman's exquisite skills and boundless dedication.

He gently stroked the blade, feeling the power and majesty that came from ancient times.

"what……"

The fat man suddenly cried out in surprise as his finger was accidentally cut by the knife: "I never thought that an ancient knife that had been lying in a coffin for hundreds or thousands of years could still be so sharp. It really is a treasure."

"It seems this is the holy sword we've been looking for."

Xie Xiaohua also stepped forward, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

Zhang Hao stood to the side, his gaze deep and complex.

He knew the importance of this holy sword. If it was true, as the stone coffin said, that the holy sword could severely injure an immortal soul, then it could at least cause some damage to a god, so that he wouldn't be helpless.

"Holy crap, this knife doesn't look that big, but it's so heavy!"

The fat man reached into the stone coffin and grasped the hilt of the holy sword, intending to take it out. However, when he tried, he found that the holy sword did not budge.

"Fatty, you're too weak. You can't even lift one."

"You you on the line!"

"Then move aside."

As soon as the fat man stepped aside to comfort Xiaohua, she stood in the spot where the fat man had been standing and reached into the stone coffin to take out the holy sword.

He tried his best, but the holy sword remained completely still.

"Hehe, looks like you're pretty weak too!"

The holy sword is about 1.5 meters long and is made of two crescent moons joined together vertically, forming an S-shape.

Even a high-density metal in this form would weigh no more than a thousand pounds.

But its weight is far more than a thousand pounds, otherwise Fatty and Xie Xiaohua wouldn't have been unable to lift it.

"I'll try."

"Ah."

Xie Xiaohua responded and stepped aside.

Zhang Hao stepped forward, reached into the stone coffin, and pulled out the holy sword with a force.

He held the holy sword in his hand and weighed it a couple of times; it must weigh around 5,000 jin (approximately 2,500 kg). He wondered what kind of material it was made of that had such a high density.

Fatty and Xie Xiaohua were stunned when they saw Zhang Hao easily pick up the Holy Sword and even weigh it in his hand.

No one was more shocked than they were at that moment; both of them had taken the holy sword and knew how heavy it was.

Zhang Hao not only picked up such a heavy object with ease, but his face also changed color, which was truly astonishing.

"Brother Zhang Hao, you're amazing! You're on a completely different level from us."

"Uncle, you're amazing! You can lift thousands of pounds of things as easily as you lift a few pounds!"

……

"Click, click..."

Suddenly, the mouth of the large snake behind the stone coffin moved.

The palate kept lifting upwards under the mechanical pain, and its mouth slowly opened, revealing a large opening.

"There seems to be a passage inside the snake's mouth?"

"Could the passage lead to the giant black serpent that seals the soul of the Loulan Queen?"
