System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Where...are we?"

Wu Tianzhen raised her flashlight and shone it around, her eyes filled with surprise and confusion.

The fat man dusted himself off, squinted as he surveyed his surroundings, and chuckled:

"Hey, who cares where we are? At least we're not dead as ashes, that's already a stroke of good luck!"

Xie Xiaohua looked solemn as he walked along the stone path to a spot a short distance ahead, carefully examining the patterns on the stone carvings.

The ancient symbols were faintly visible in the dim light.

“These patterns… seem to be some kind of totem we’ve seen on stone tablets and sarcophagi before. Tianzhen, come and take a look.”

Tianzhen nodded and quickly stepped forward. He studied the pictures and text on the stone carving for a while and said, "It says that the black snake that seals the soul of the Loulan Queen is just ahead. Also, you must not let the black snake absorb the blood of the Queen's descendants, otherwise the Queen will be reborn with the help of the black snake!"

"Really? Is this even possible? After being reborn, is she human or a snake?"

"Alright, Fatty, stop joking around. Let's go up and see what's going on."

As Zhang Hao spoke, he walked onto the stone path and strode quickly toward the direction of the giant black snake.

Upon seeing this, Wu Tianzhen and the others quickly followed.

"Uncle, have you discovered something?"

"You'll know when you get there."

Although he was still a long way from the giant black snake, Zhang Hao vaguely sensed that someone was moving beneath it, which was why he was in such a hurry to go that way.

"Holy crap, a giant black snake!"

The group walked on the stone path for more than an hour when the fat man shone his powerful flashlight upwards and suddenly saw a huge black snake. He was so startled that he broke out in a cold sweat.

"call……"

"That scared Fatty to death! Luckily it was just a stone snake, otherwise we would all be dead by now."

"Hmph, hmph..."

Zhang Hao took two deep breaths; he could smell a faint scent of blood in the air.

"Quick, let's go see what's going on!"

Zhang Hao shouted and rushed forward at top speed. He unleashed 500% speed, and his entire body was like a bolt of lightning, instantly reaching the giant black snake.

Beneath the large black serpent was also a circular altar, covered with grooves and patterns, with a circular stone slab altar in the center that was more than two meters in diameter.

Two corpses lay on the altar, their bodies covered in wounds, blood rapidly draining from them.

At this point, both of them were deathly pale and stiff, clearly beyond saving.

When Zhang Hao stepped forward and saw the two men clearly, he was shocked. These two men were also members of the archaeological team, Professor Liu's two students, Chu Dong and Huang Huang.

After seeking shelter from the sandstorm and entering a dilapidated house, they triggered a mechanism that caused them to fall into quicksand, and then the entire archaeological team disappeared.

First, Wang Xing was bled out to activate the altar. Then, Chu Dong and Huang Huang were found to have been killed and bled out in preparation for awakening the Loulan Queen.

Zhang Hao was basically certain who was behind it all, but he didn't know why that person had lured him and Wu Tianzhen here, or what their purpose was.

"Look, the blood is flying up!"

The fat man's exclamation brought Zhang Hao back to his senses.

At some point, all the blood flowing from the corpse's body flew up and hovered in mid-air.

"call out!"

Suddenly, the blood flew rapidly toward the giant black snake.

The blood was absorbed instantly upon contact, followed by a series of "crackling" sounds emanating from the large black snake.

Cracks began to appear on the snake's body, and large chunks of stone fell off, revealing the dark scales beneath.

After a few breaths, the stone slabs all fell off, revealing a large black snake that was over forty or fifty meters long.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, the black snake roared, and countless dazzling red lights emerged from its body.

The red light burst through the snake's body, and the large black snake's body cracked again.

Then a woman dressed entirely in red and dressed extravagantly rushed out of the snake's body.

"Queen of Loulan!"
