System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Although the iron pellets in Fourth Grandpa's hands were more powerful than bullets, they were still not enough to deal with giant centipedes that were several meters long.

The iron ball made a sound when it hit the giant centipede, then fell to the ground without causing any damage.

The guns in the hands of the others were even less effective; the sound of their shots hitting the giant centipede was much quieter than that of Tie Danzi's.

The attacks of Fourth Grandfather and his group were completely ineffective in stopping the giant centipede from approaching; in the blink of an eye, the giant centipede was right in front of them.

A giant centipede flew straight at Fourth Grandfather.

Just then, Fourth Master grabbed one of his men and used him as a shield.

With a tearing sound, the person he had grabbed and used as a shield was ripped in two by the giant centipede, just like a piece of paper.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Fourth Grandpa dodged the giant centipede's attack by flashing to the side. At this moment, he noticed that there were no centipedes within a radius of four or five meters centered on Zhang Hao. He immediately took off running towards Zhang Hao, shouting as he ran, "Come here, everyone!"

Upon hearing this, his men abandoned the fight and followed.

Xie Xiaohua pointed to Fourth Grandpa, who was running towards them, and said:

"See that? That man is his subordinate. With his abilities, he could easily have dodged the centipede's attack, but he was willing to sacrifice one of his men's lives to ensure his own safety."

"He's definitely a ruthless guy. We'd better be careful since we're on the same team as him."

As they were talking, Fourth Grandfather and his men had already gathered around, and Zhang Hao and the others tacitly fell silent.

After everyone entered the effective range of Zhang Hao's Qilin blood, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Fourth Uncle pointed at the centipedes around him and asked in confusion, "Young Master Zhang, why do those centipedes seem so afraid of you?"

"It's probably due to the insect repellent powder."

Zhang Hao made up an excuse without caring whether others believed him or not.

"Holy crap, what the hell is pulling on Fatty's foot?!"

Suddenly, the fat man exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone looked down and saw a bluish-purple hand reaching out from the ground and grabbing the fat man's ankle.

The fat man immediately took out his entrenching tool and smashed it into that hand.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The shovel struck the hand with several loud thuds, but the hand was completely unharmed.

The fat man also became anxious upon seeing this:

"Even a rice dumpling would have had its hand broken by these few blows. What kind of monster is this? Its body is even harder than a rice dumpling."

Before the fat man could finish speaking, he heard a "crack" from beneath his feet, and saw spiderweb-like cracks appear on the ice.

Then ice shards began to fall down with a whooshing sound.

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Before anyone could react, they felt the ground beneath their feet give way and they plummeted to the ground.

"Ouch, that hurts so much, Fatty!"

The fat man grumbled as he got up from the ground, found a flashlight on the ground, and shone it around.

All around him were densely packed, layer upon layer of bluish-purple corpses, much like the one that had grabbed his ankle earlier.

"Fourth Master, are you alright?"

Fourth Master's men got up from the ground, found Fourth Master, and quickly went to help him up.

He waved his hand to indicate that he was alright. He looked around and, seeing that there were corpses all around him, suddenly burst into laughter.

"Haha, Zhang boy, you guessed right. That magnetic black tortoise was indeed a trap. Luckily you reminded us, otherwise we would have made a wasted trip."

The people around him were baffled. Whether it was his subordinates or Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and others, they didn't know why he suddenly laughed.

At this moment, Fourth Grandfather continued, "The thing that grabbed your foot just now is called a corpse fetus. It can only form in a dragon vein feng shui treasure cave. Since this is a dragon vein, it must be the tomb passage. You all search around together; there must be an entrance to the tomb passage!"

What is a corpse fetus?

"The corpse fetus is a rice dumpling formed in a dragon vein feng shui treasure spot. Because it is formed on a dragon vein, it absorbs the earth's energy, and its various abilities are much stronger than ordinary rice dumplings of the same level."

"Those are just some tougher zongzi!"

The fat man muttered something to himself, then suddenly felt a sharp pain in his foot.

"Ouch, that hurts so much, Fatty!"

As he shouted, the fat man sat down on the spot, pulled up his trouser leg, and a dark handprint appeared on his ankle.

Zhang Hao could tell at a glance that he had been infected with corpse poison.

With a thought, he took out a corpse pill from his storage space, scraped off a little powder, and gave it to the fat man.

After the fat man ate the shrimp corpse pill powder, the black handprint on his ankle slowly faded away.

"Damn it, since that corpse fetus dared to bully Fatty, if I ever see it again, I'll make him pay!"

"Alright, Fatty, you already tried it. That corpse fetus's body is harder than a rice dumpling. Our attacks couldn't even cause it the slightest damage."

"We can't let that damn thing get away with this!"

……

After complaining a few times, the fat man joined the others in searching for the entrance to the mausoleum road.

"Fourth Master, there seems to be an altar over here!"

Just as Zhang Hao was about to use sonic positioning to find the entrance to the mausoleum passage, he heard a shout from one of Fourth Grandfather's men.

Hearing the sound, everyone gathered around and saw a crack in one of the walls, through which they could see a huge underground space.

In the middle, there was a stone platform four or five meters above the ground, with countless seated corpses circling around it.

"This is a ritual instrument used in shamanism. They believe that corpses have a mysterious function, and corpses are used in rituals, the more the better."

As expected of the fourth grandfather, who is over ninety years old and has seen much, he could recognize the origins of these things in the tomb at a glance.

He pointed to the stone platform in the middle of the altar and said, "Go and look around there; the entrance must be nearby."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao did not act immediately. Instead, he sent a sound wave toward the stone platform, and the next second, the situation around the stone platform appeared in his mind.

Just as Fourth Grandfather had guessed, there was a passage leading underground beneath the stone platform.

Zhang Hao called Fatty and Xie Xiaohua over and pointed to the ground, saying, "We can find the entrance by digging down from here."

"okay."

The fat man responded and started digging. After only a few shovelfuls, a hole big enough for one person to pass through appeared in front of him.

"Brother Zhang Hao, you're amazing! You actually found the entrance right here."

Upon hearing this, Fourth Grandfather leaned closer to take a look and indeed there was a hole.

He bent down and touched the inside of the opening, then licked his fingertip.

"This is not a path to the mausoleum, but a path left by ancient craftsmen."

Ancient tombs were not built in a day or two. The craftsmen knew that the day the tomb was completed would be their death day. Therefore, when building the tomb, they would also try to build an escape route, also called a drainage passage.

The passageways all lead directly to the main burial chamber, so we don't need to look for the secondary tomb passages anymore; we can just follow the passageways directly into the Heavenly Palace.”
