System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

After Zhang Hao shattered the stone ball, he climbed up to the other side of the floor. Then Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Xie Xiaohua, Huo Xiuxiu, and Zhang Qilin also climbed to the other side.

Once everyone had reached the other end, the entire floor tilted towards the side where they were standing.

Then one by one, they bent over and crawled into the tomb through the exit.

Behind the tomb chamber was a large hall, much larger than the front tomb chamber, about the size of a football field. The entire tomb chamber was submerged in water. The fat man tested the water with his foot; it was up to his ankles.

The entire tomb chamber is filled with stone tablets three to four meters high, and in the very center there is a circular coffin platform on which a huge stone coffin is placed.

Zhang Hao and his group entered the tomb chamber, walked among the stone tablets, and slowly approached the stone coffin in the center.

"Ouch!"

Suddenly, the fat man slipped and fell to the ground, yelling in pain.

"Fatty, how old are you? Why can't you walk steadily?"

"Little Flower, you'll still fall even if you step on a round ball!"

As he spoke, the fat man reached into the water beside him and groped around for a few moments, as if he had grabbed something. He held it up to his eyes and shone his flashlight on it, exclaiming in surprise, "Holy crap, it's a ruby!"

"A ruby ​​the size of a quail egg is quite rare and worth a lot of money!"

"This thing is small in size but valuable, so it's suitable to take out."

The fat man said something and then got up from the ground to pick up the gems.

Seeing this, the others shone their flashlights on the ground and saw that a large area of ​​water nearby was filled with rubies the size of quail eggs.

So the group of people joined the search for rubies.

Zhang Hao noticed something amiss when he saw the rubies scattered on the ground.

All the rubies on the ground were oval and roughly the same size. This would be normal for artificially treated gemstones, but not only were they all roughly the same size and shape, but they also had no signs of artificial intervention.

It is simply impossible for countless rubies of the same size and shape to exist in nature.

He bent down and picked up a ruby ​​from the ground. When he looked at it, he saw a red, roundworm-like worm swimming inside. Because it was all red, it was hard to spot.

"Everyone, throw these away quickly! These aren't gems, they're insect eggs!"

"What, insect eggs?"

Everyone gasped in surprise and quickly threw away the red envelope stones they were holding.

The fat man looked reluctant, but when he heard Zhang Hao say they were insect eggs, he forcefully flung all the ones he had just picked up far away.

"Click, click, click..."

Just then, everyone heard the sound of an eggshell cracking.

Zhang Hao looked down at the ground and saw that the ruby-like insect eggs in the water had cracked, and then small, finger-length, roundworm-like worms crawled out of them.

"Are these rubies filled with roundworms? That's disgusting!"

The fat man stepped on it and heard a "splat" as he crushed several insects, but then more insects swam over from the water.

Zhang Qilin frowned as he looked at the insects hatching on the ground: "No, they are ancient bloodsucking insects!"

Bloodsucking worms are not scary; they exist in water in many places. But adding the word "ancient" to their name makes them seem less simple.

"Hey bro, what are ancient bloodsucking worms?"

"They can enter the human body from anywhere, absorb blood and grow rapidly, turning a normal person into a dried-up corpse in just a few breaths."

"hiss……"

Upon hearing Zhang Qilin's explanation, everyone gasped in shock.

They were in the water from the ankles down, and if the ancient bloodsucking worms burrowed into their bodies, they would lose their lives.

"Everyone move closer to Uncle!"

Just as everyone was at a loss, Wu Tianzhen shouted.

Only then did everyone notice that the ancient bloodsucking worms in the water dared not approach Zhang Hao at all, and only dared to wander a few meters away from him.

Zhang Hao glanced at the distance, which was about three or four meters. After the Qilin Blood advanced, it not only could repel insects without bleeding them out, but now it also made them afraid to approach.

"Luckily, my uncle was here, otherwise we would have been in big trouble!"

"My uncle is really something!"

"I'm so envious of Brother Zhang Hao for having such amazing blood!"

……

For some unknown reason, all the insect eggs in the water suddenly hatched, and countless ancient bloodsucking insects appeared in the water. They were densely packed, intertwined and churning in the water. Although they did not pose a threat, seeing them was still unsettling.

Zhang Hao led the group forward while observing the surrounding stone tablets.

Suddenly, Wu Tianzhen spoke up and told Zhang Hao to stop.

"Uncle, there seems to be a useful clue on that stone tablet over there."

"Well, let's go take a look."

Zhang Hao changed direction and walked towards the stone tablet that Wu Tianzhen pointed to.

Upon closer inspection of the stone tablet, one can see that it is covered with densely packed characters.

Why are they in traditional Chinese characters instead of classical Chinese?

The fat man exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the inscription on the stone tablet.

Normally, ancient tombs contain ancient characters, but here they contain traditional Chinese characters that everyone recognizes.

Xie Xiaohua stepped forward and ran her hand over the text, saying, "These characters must have been carved in modern times. Let's quickly see what they say."

Everyone recognized the characters on the stone tablet, so Wu Tianzhen didn't need to decipher them; everyone could just read them on their own.

"During the Republic of China era, Zhang Dafoye received orders from his superiors to investigate Gutongjing. So he led the Nine Gates to find Gutongjing in the desert. Later, they discovered the true secret of Gutongjing: the entire ancient city was a giant musical instrument."

There are seven passages in the mountains surrounding the ancient city. Every two years, a continuous wind from beneath the desert passes through these passages, creating a unique melody.

The secret of the ancient city of Tongjing is hidden in the music.

However, due to years of disrepair, many passages in the ancient city and mountains have collapsed, making the music that can be heard when the wind blows not smooth.

After Zhang Dafoye reported the news, he received new instructions: to repair the ancient city of Gutongjing.

Subsequently, the Nine Gates spent decades restoring Gutongjing, but just as the restoration was about to be completed, it was destroyed by the Wang family. After that, Gutongjing became the territory of the Wang family.

The reason the Wang family wanted to sabotage the restoration of Gutongjing was because they discovered snake mines there and were using black-haired snakes to manufacture black flying vehicles.

Upon seeing the inscription on the stone tablet, Zhang Hao immediately realized why he had that feeling when he first saw the ancient city of Tongjing.

Indeed, Gutongjing is like a large musical instrument, with passages in the surrounding mountains and the ancient city combined together, so that it can be played when the wind blows.

It's just unknown what secrets are hidden in the music when this giant instrument is played.

"Woooooooo..."

Just then, a series of intermittent musical notes rang in everyone's ears.
