System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Zhang Hao and his group had nothing else to do in Kangbaluo, and when they heard Fatty say there was something interesting to see, they figured it wouldn't be a problem to go check it out.

So, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, Xie Xiaohua, Huo Xiuxiu, Pan Zi, and Uncle Wu followed Fatty's hurried steps, passing through the winding paths of the Kangba village, and finally arrived at a mysterious area in the back mountain.

Here, the snow seemed even thicker, and the wind was biting cold, as if even the air itself had frozen.

However, it is precisely in this environment that a breathtaking bronze door is hidden.

The bronze gate stood before the cliff, like a colossal beast that had traveled from ancient times, silently guarding the secrets of this land.

The gate is tens of meters high and quite wide, and is carved with intricate and mysterious totems, including phoenixes soaring in the sky, dragons galloping endlessly, and various unknown creatures. They are intertwined or entwined, forming vivid yet eerie scenes.

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the surface of the bronze door gleamed with a faint blue light, adding to its mystery and solemnity.

Zhang Hao and his companions were utterly shocked the moment they saw the bronze door.

They never expected that their accidental fall off the cliff would lead them to the bronze door.

Standing before the bronze gate, everyone felt a strong sense of shock and astonishment.

This is not only because of its enormous size and exquisite craftsmanship, but also because the door seems to hide endless secrets and unknown powers.

A hint of surprise and contemplation flashed in Uncle Wu's eyes; clearly, this scene was beyond his expectations.

However, just as everyone was still immersed in the shock brought by the bronze door, a faint groan broke the surrounding silence.

They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young woman cruelly bound beside the bronze door, her body twisted into a strange position, as if deliberately arranged for some kind of ritual.

Her clothes were tattered, her body was covered in wounds, and her face was full of pain and despair, but even so, her eyes still shone with an indomitable light.

This scene made everyone's hearts tighten, and anger and sympathy intertwined.

Wu Tianzhen frowned deeply and quickly stepped forward, wanting to rescue the innocent woman.

But just then, the leader of the blue-robed men appeared, his face bearing a complex expression, seemingly helpless about the situation.

"This is our traditional ritual, to ask the devil behind the bronze door for forgiveness."

The leader explained in a low voice, "But we also know that this approach is too cruel."

But we had no other choice.

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianzhen became even angrier.

He looked at the leader and said firmly:

"No matter the reason, it cannot be an excuse to harm the innocent."

We must stop this sacrifice.

“If we don’t make a sacrifice, the monsters behind the bronze gate will come out and harm us all. We know which is more important, sacrificing one person or sacrificing everyone.”

If you continue to act unreasonably, we will make you pay the price, even if it costs us our lives!

Faced with strong opposition and threats from the Khampa people, Wu Tianzhen found herself in a dilemma.

He knew he couldn't stand by and watch innocent lives be cruelly sacrificed, but he also had to consider the realities of the situation and avoid angering the entire village and causing a bigger conflict.

Zhang Hao's suggestion was particularly calm and rational; he proposed a compromise:

First, try to communicate deeply with the Khampa people to understand the root of their fears and explore whether there are other ways to appease the anger of the "devil" behind the bronze gate without sacrificing innocent lives.

At the same time, they can also use this time to observe the bronze door and see if there are any signs of it opening naturally or other clues.
