System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The moment Zhang Hao stepped through the bronze gate, it was as if he had crossed the boundaries of time and space and arrived in a world that was both strange and eerie.

The pipes here are no longer cold, lifeless metal structures, but are gradually revealing a heart-stirring vitality.

As Zhang Hao focused his attention, the previously still pipes began to subtly undulate, like ancient divine blood vessels that had been dormant for thousands of years being awakened and revitalized.

The light inside these "blood vessels" began to shine brightly, no longer the faint flicker of before, but brightening and dimming rhythmically like a heartbeat, with each flicker accompanied by an ancient and powerful energy fluctuation.

Zhang Hao could sense the ancient wisdom and boundless majesty contained within this power, as if it were warning him that this was a sacred realm that could not be violated.

Just as intense curiosity and awe welled up within him, Zhang Hao decisively activated his blood-sucking ability.

He gripped a blood vessel tightly with both hands, and a strange energy flowed continuously from the vessel into his body.

This is not ordinary bloodsucking, but a special ability he gained by fusing with the rare item, the Iris Ring.

It can absorb the essence of all living beings and even non-living beings in the world to strengthen its own Qilin bloodline.

As his ability was activated, Zhang Hao's eyes instantly turned blood red, and an irresistible suction force erupted from his body, heading straight for those "blood vessels".

A miracle occurred. The "blood vessels" that were originally shaking violently did not resist when they came into contact with Zhang Hao's suction. Instead, they were drawn towards Zhang Hao slowly by some force.

A blood-like liquid flowed from the tube, not bright red, but a deep, inky black, carrying an ancient and mysterious charm, which Zhang Hao inhaled directly.

With the injection of this power, the Qilin bloodline within Zhang Hao's body seemed to be ignited, beginning to boil and expand wildly.

Golden lines could be faintly seen beneath his skin, a symbol of the evolution of the Qilin bloodline.

Zhang Hao's power was enhanced to an unprecedented degree at this moment. His senses became exceptionally sharp, and he was even able to perceive every energy fluctuation flowing in the surrounding space.

However, at this moment, an unexpected change occurred.

As if sensing Zhang Hao's threat, those "blood vessels" began to contract frantically, trying to retract the power that had already flowed out.

But Zhang Hao was not about to give up easily. He gritted his teeth and used his blood-sucking ability to the fullest extent, engaging in a fierce struggle with these "blood vessels".

Finally, amidst a deafening roar, those "blood vessels" were forcibly pulled away from the constraints of the rock and exposed to Zhang Hao's eyes.

They twisted and struggled, but could no longer escape Zhang Hao's control.

During this process, Zhang Hao successfully absorbed a large amount of blood into his body, and his Qilin bloodline underwent a qualitative leap, reaching an unprecedented level.

[Ding, Qilin bloodline evolution progress +1000.]

A rare item can add 10 points to bloodline evolution progress, and an extremely rare item can add 100 points to bloodline evolution progress.

This time, the blood-sucking actually increased the bloodline evolution progress by 1000 points.

It is evident that the blood in those veins contains immense energy, and it is highly likely that it originated from a god who was constantly trying to find a way to kill him.

It's understandable that God's veins appeared behind the bronze door; he had been growing and spreading all along, and if it weren't for the bronze door's obstruction, he would have already spread to who knows where.

However, when Zhang Hao absorbed his blood, he only resisted by twitching his blood vessels.

It seems that even a god isn't so difficult to deal with. He must be under some kind of restriction, otherwise Zhang Hao definitely wouldn't have gained any benefits.

Thinking of this, Zhang Hao only hoped that the restriction could last longer, so that he could at least find a way to kill the god.

The matter was temporarily put to rest. Zhang Hao knew that this place was not a good place to stay for long, but he could not miss any possible clues, so he decided to let his partners who had been waiting outside go.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and the others entered the mysterious bronze door together.

As the crowd filed in, the ancient and eerie aura within the bronze door seemed to intensify, causing everyone's heart to beat faster involuntarily.

They split up, each searching for any hidden secrets.

The space inside the bronze door is far more complex than it appears from the outside, with intricate pipes and walls intertwined to form strange patterns.

Just then, the fat man's signature loud voice suddenly rang out, shattering the surrounding tranquility:

"Hey, come quick, there's something here!"

Upon hearing the noise, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, and the others quickly gathered around the fat man.

The fat man pointed to a seemingly ordinary wall covered with densely packed ancient characters that shimmered faintly in the dim light, as if telling a secret from a thousand years ago.

"What...what kind of scribbling is this?"

The fat man scratched his head, looking confused.

Upon seeing this, Wu Tianzhen immediately stepped forward and carefully examined the text.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, as if trying to imprint every single character deeply into his mind.

After a long while, he slowly spoke:

"While I cannot be entirely certain about these inscriptions, based on my research, they are very likely related to the sacrificial rituals of the Khampa people."

"Kamba Luo? Sacrifice?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao frowned. Wasn't Kangbaluo the mysterious village they were in?

Wu Tianzhen nodded and continued:

"The Khampa people worship an ancient deity, and they believe that they can obtain divine protection or some kind of power through sacrifice."

These inscriptions likely record the process of their sacrificial rituals or are some kind of mysterious prophecy.

Upon hearing this, everyone sighed in dismay.

I never imagined that such an ancient secret was hidden behind this bronze door.

Zhang Hao's heart stirred; he realized that these words might reveal more clues about the "god" who had always wanted to kill him.

So he looked at Wu Tianzhen and said seriously:

“Tianzhen, could you find a way to record these words? Perhaps they will be the key to our fight against that ‘god’.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianzhen nodded and began to take out paper and pen from her backpack, carefully recording each character.

The others stood by, vigilantly observing their surroundings in case of any unforeseen events.

The atmosphere inside the bronze door became tense and solemn once again, but everyone's heart was filled with longing and anticipation for the unknown.

Wu Tianzhen moved quickly, and his brows gradually furrowed as he continued recording.

"Tianzhen, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with these words?"

Wu Tianzhen nodded: "It seems that my previous interpretations were all wrong. It's not that meaning at all. After combining these words in a specific way, the explanation is that this bronze door is actually a trap!"
