System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The Black Gold Queen Bee was clad in a deep black and gold armor, as dark as the night sky. The armor gleamed faintly in the sunlight, as if it were a harbinger of death, and every ray of light contained a chilling power.

Its compound eyes gleam with a cold and precise light, capable of instantly capturing the slightest movement in its surroundings. Whether it is prey or a potential threat, nothing can escape its sharp gaze.

The antennae protruding from its forehead, like two sharp probes, are not only used to sense the environment, but also a symbol of power, proclaiming its supreme status in the bee colony.

The Black Gold Queen Hornet has an exceptionally large body. Compared to ordinary hornets, it is almost like a behemoth. Its wings are broad and powerful, and each flap of its wings seems to stir up a small storm.

When it angrily flaps its wings, its entire body seems to transform into a black lightning bolt, moving at an astonishing speed, enough to instantly turn any creature that dares to invade its territory into its prey.

What's even more terrifying is its powerful stinger, which is not only incredibly sharp but also contains deadly toxins.

Once a creature unfortunately becomes its target, the stinger will not hesitate to pierce its body, injecting deadly venom, causing the victim to slowly collapse in extreme pain, eventually becoming yet another nameless corpse on this land.

Zhang Hao stared at the Black Gold Horse Bee Queen in the air with shining eyes. Regardless of what abilities he could gain after the fusion, 10 points of system experience and 10 points of Qilin bloodline evolution progress were a certainty.

Moreover, he discovered that the dense swarm of black hornets in the sky was controlled by the queen bee, and that as long as the queen bee was killed, the swarm would be no threat.

At this moment, the Black Gold Queen Bee vibrated its huge wings, emitting a deafening buzzing sound, and swooped down on Zhang Hao.

At this critical moment, Zhang Hao not only did not run away, but instead charged forward to meet the Black Gold Hornet Queen's attack.

With two sprints, taking advantage of the undulating rainforest terrain, he leaped into the air like a cheetah, pouncing on the black-gold queen bee in mid-air.

At that moment, time seemed to stand still, and everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Hao, filled with both tension and admiration.

Zhang Hao accurately grabbed the body of the Black Gold Hornet Queen in mid-air, his powerful hands like iron clamps, tightly controlling the fate of this rainforest overlord.

The black-gold queen wasp struggled, its stinger flailing wildly, but it couldn't penetrate Zhang Hao's tough skin.

Zhang Hao suddenly exerted force with both hands, crushing the Black Gold Queen Bee to pieces.

The fall of the Black Gold Queen Bee seemed to shake the entire rainforest.

The swarm of bees in the sky lost control; without their leader's guidance, they instantly descended into chaos.

Countless wasps flew about in all directions, making a frightened buzzing sound, as if mourning their king.

However, for Zhang Hao and his group, this was a good thing.

Upon seeing this, everyone exclaimed in amazement.

They gathered around Zhang Hao, showering him with praise and expressing their admiration and gratitude.

Zhang Hao simply smiled slightly.

"It's getting dark, we'd better find a place to spend the night quickly, otherwise who knows what dangers might arise in this rainforest."

"Brother Zhang Hao is right, we need to speed things up."

After the fat man finished speaking, he walked to the front of the group, carrying a large machete to clear the way.

With him leading the way, the team moved forward much faster.

Zhang Hao walked at the very back of the group, still holding the black gold queen bee that had been shattered into pieces in his hand.

"System, fuse with the Black Gold Queen Bee!"

[Ding, congratulations host, 106th fusion completed. Fusion item: Black Gold Queen Bee.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the rare item Black Gold Queen Bee. You have gained the item's trait: Celestial Navigation (an instinct-based navigation ability with a range of 5 kilometers. Even in fog, celestial navigation will not fail despite the failure of any instruments or spells.)]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing a rare item. Qilin bloodline evolution progress +10.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have triggered a fusion critical strike, doubling your celestial navigation ability (coverage range 10 kilometers)]

"Ok?"

It actually has space navigation capabilities.

This ability is similar to sound wave localization, but there are also significant differences; it is more powerful and has a wider range.

Sound wave localization is only effective when the sound waves can travel to a location. The effective range varies greatly depending on the distance sound travels in different media.

If it encounters a place where sound waves cannot travel, then it will fail.

But celestial navigation is different; it is completely unrestricted by any conditions. It is an instinctive reaction, just like a person needs to breathe.

No matter when, where, or what the conditions are in the river, they can instinctively get out.

This ability is incredibly powerful and extremely useful in rainforests where it's so easy to get lost.

Furthermore, its effective range is as wide as 5 kilometers, and when a fusion critical strike is triggered, its power doubles, and its effect extends to 10 kilometers.

Zhang Hao believed that with this ability, he would never get lost again.

The benefits of a black and gold queen bee go far beyond this.

It also increased system experience by 10 points and Qilin bloodline evolution progress by 10 points.

当前万物融合系统已经9级（100/160），只需要60点经验就可以达到10级解锁罕见物品了。

The evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline has reached level 7 (692/960). It only needs 268 more evolution progress points to advance to level 8, which brings it one step closer to level 9. At that time, it will be able to unlock the bloodline transformation ability and summon the Qilin to fight for it.

Suddenly, an unprecedented, strange wind swept in, carrying a chilling force that shattered the surrounding tranquility.

The trees swayed gracefully, emitting low, mournful sighs.

Immediately afterwards, the ground seemed to be gently lifted by an invisible hand, and an extremely thick white mist surged out like a tide, quickly filling the entire space and tightly enveloping everyone.

Zhang Qilin immediately noticed this unusual change.

His brows were furrowed, and his eyes revealed a sense of seriousness and vigilance.

"This is miasma, which is highly toxic. Everyone must hold their breath and minimize inhalation to avoid poisoning."

The fat man, too, abandoned his usual relaxed demeanor and his expression became unusually serious.

He looked around and saw nothing but whiteness; everything in sight was blurry and indistinct, and a sense of despair rose in his heart.

"Damn it, we're surrounded by this ghostly fog, we can't see the road at all. Even if we don't inhale the poisonous gas, we'll suffocate here in no time!"

His voice carried a hint of anxiety and helplessness, but it also revealed the current predicament.

Wu Tianzhen was also extremely anxious, but she remained calm on the surface.

He nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with the fat man's concerns, while also quickly thinking of a solution.

However, even he found the sudden appearance of the miasma to be more challenging than ever before.

Seeing this, Zhang Qilin felt helpless.

He knew that while the blood of the Qilin could detoxify and ward off evil, it was not a panacea.

Moreover, even if Fatty and Wu Tianzhen were to consume Qilin blood, it would only provide temporary protection against the poisonous gas, and would not solve the fundamental problem of them being trapped in the fog and unable to escape.
