System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

He directed the blue toad to continue approaching the phoenix feather, while he himself quickly moved closer, ready to strike at the crucial moment.

Just then, the seven blue toads suddenly leaped up and jumped directly onto the phoenix feather. Their small bodies seemed to contain infinite power. They simultaneously stuck out their tongues, which intertwined in the air. The seven tongues seemed to form an ancient formation in the air, which actually bound the phoenix feather within it.

As the blue toads behaved strangely, the atmosphere inside the entire cave seemed to change.

The originally raging and restless phoenix feathers gradually became docile under the formation woven by the blue toads. Although the flames were not extinguished, they no longer darted around, but instead hovered steadily in mid-air, emitting a soft and mysterious light.

Upon seeing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Zhang Hao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by solemnity.

He knew that this was only a temporary calm; the threat deep within the Corpse Cave still existed, and it would only become more troublesome over time.

He turned to look at Zhang Qilin, and the two exchanged a complicated glance. Without saying a word, they both understood that the task ahead would be arduous and dangerous.

"Brother, we need to find the source of the Corpse Cave. Only by starting from there can we completely resolve this crisis."

Zhang Hao said in a deep voice, his voice soft but revealing an undeniable firmness.

Zhang Qilin nodded, his gaze sweeping around before finally settling on the pitch-black area deep within the cave.

"That should be the core of the Corpse Cave. But we must be careful, there must be a stronger protective force there."

Just as the two were about to set off, the blue toads' behavior once again caught their attention.

The little creatures did not stop after successfully binding the phoenix feather; instead, they began to slowly rotate around it. A faint blue halo gradually appeared on the surface of their bodies, which complemented the flames of the phoenix feather, creating a strange and wonderful scene.

As the blue toads continued their movements, the temperature inside the cave miraculously rose slightly, and the suffocating chill gradually dissipated.

Even more surprisingly, the corpses that were originally surging forward began to slow down after coming into contact with this blue aura, and some even stopped moving forward, as if they were suppressed by some kind of force.

"It seems that the blue toads not only bound Phoenix Feather, but also unexpectedly weakened the power of the Corpse Cave."

Zhang Hao pondered to himself, gaining a deeper understanding of the blue toads' abilities.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Qilin suggested, "Let's go deeper and find the core of the Corpse Cave, then destroy it in one fell swoop!"

Without further hesitation, the two quickly devised a brief action plan. They decided that Zhang Hao would lead the blue toads as the vanguard, using their suppressive power against the phoenix feathers to clear the way, while Zhang Qilin would be responsible for the rear guard in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

The group carefully passed through the corpses suppressed by the blue toad's aura and headed deeper into the cave.

Finally, after a difficult trek, they arrived at a huge cave.

This is the core of the Corpse Cave.

In the center of the cave, a jet-black energy body was slowly rotating, surrounded by dense runes, emitting a chilling fluctuation.

"This is the origin of the Corpse Cave!"

Zhang Hao said in a low voice, his eyes flashing with a resolute light.

He knew that what followed was going to be a tough battle.

But in order to obtain the Corpse Cave, he had to stand up and face all of this.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and prepared to launch an attack.

At that moment, the blue toads once again demonstrated their wisdom and courage.

Instead of attacking the energy ball directly, they jumped and spun around it, weaving a more complex and powerful array with their seemingly weak bodies.

As the formation took shape, an unprecedented blue torrent surged from the bodies of the blue toads, converging into a powerful impact that directly rammed into the dark energy body.

At the same time, Zhang Hao also took the opportunity to launch an attack. The lightning in his palm and the blue torrent echoed each other, forming a dazzling bolt of lightning that slammed into the source of the corpse cave.

boom!

A deafening roar shook the entire cave, causing it to tremble.

The dark energy mass finally cracked under the double blow, then collapsed with a bang, turning into countless fragments that dissipated into the air.

With the destruction of the Corpse Cave's origin, the corpses controlled by it lost their vitality, collapsed to the ground, and turned into puddles of rotting flesh.

The cold and decaying atmosphere inside the cave dissipated, replaced by a fresh and vibrant atmosphere.

Just then, the blue toad transformed into seven balls of blue flame and disappeared into the phoenix feather. It then transformed back into that light bird feather and fell from mid-air.

Zhang Hao reached out and caught the phoenix feather, which lay quietly in his palm.
