System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

They all looked at Zhang Hao with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.

Wu Tianzhen was the first to start boasting:

"Uncle! Your ability is absolutely incredible!"

The fat man chimed in:

"That's right, that's right, I really envy you for having this ability!"

The others echoed this sentiment, praising Zhang Hao's extraordinary abilities.

Zhang Hao smiled and didn't say much. Although everyone knew that he was the one who made the move, as long as he didn't admit it, no one would know how he did it.

After the minor incident, everyone continued their journey through the rainforest. However, compared to before, everyone stayed close to Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin, which helped them avoid being attacked by the countless leeches in the rainforest.

Deep in the dense tropical rainforest, the light was filtered through layers of green leaves, creating dappled patterns. Zhang Hao and his group carefully traversed the damp ground.

Their breaths blended with the moist air around them, making each step feel heavy and full of uncertainty.

On this land full of challenges and wonders, an even more thrilling journey is about to unfold.

As they continued onward, the scenery ahead gradually became unusual.

Two rows of enormous statues, like ancient guardians, appeared silently on both sides of the road. They were majestic and solemn, as if they were gateways to another world.

These statues, several meters tall, are carved from an unknown type of stone. Time has etched deep marks on them, yet their majestic presence remains undiminished.

The statues have different facial expressions; some have wide-open, angry eyes, revealing an indomitable fighting spirit.

Some closed their eyes in deep thought, as if immersed in ancient wisdom.

Their bodies have smooth and powerful lines, and every muscle seems to contain endless power.

Some of the statues hold spears, and their armor is inlaid with faded gems that gleam with a faint but mysterious light;

Some held ritual implements, with ancient incantations seemingly still lingering between their fingers.

These sculptures are not only masterpieces of art, but also witnesses to history, silently telling one ancient and mysterious story after another.

Uncle Wu immediately recognized the significance of these statues.

He stopped and stared at the sacred path ahead, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

"This is the Shinto, a sacred path used for sacrifices and pilgrimages in ancient civilizations."

He said in a deep voice, "And the statues on both sides are images of the gods who guard the sacred path, protecting this road from evil spirits."

Upon hearing this, everyone became very interested in this sacred path.

They carefully stepped onto the sacred path; the stone slabs beneath their feet, though mottled, remained smooth and sturdy.

However, as soon as they stepped onto the sacred path, they sensed an unusual aura.

The hustle and bustle of the rainforest seemed to be shut out by an invisible barrier. The sacred path was unusually quiet, and not even the chirping of insects or birds could be heard.

This unusual silence created a strange sense of oppression for everyone.

Uncle Wu frowned, knowing full well that powerful animals often have a strong sense of territory.

Here, within such a vast area of ​​divine power, there is absolutely no sign of life, which is no ordinary occurrence.

"Everyone be careful!"

He warned in a low voice, "The absence of any other animal tracks here means that an extremely powerful creature may be lurking here, considering this entire area its territory."

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines, gripping their weapons tightly and cautiously glancing around.

However, just as they were preparing to deal with the potential danger, a chilling figure suddenly appeared in their line of sight.

It was a giant snake, over ten meters long, covered in colorful scales that shimmered eerily in the sunlight.

Its eyes were like torches, flashing with coldness and cruelty, as if they could see into the fear and despair in people's hearts.

The appearance of the giant snake surprised everyone; they hadn't expected the danger to come so suddenly.

Wu Tianzhen was the first to be attacked by the giant snake.

The giant snake opened its blood-red maw, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the sunlight, and charged straight at Wu Tianzhen.
