System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The water, seemingly calm and still, actually harbors turbulent undercurrents and countless unknown dangers.

After Zhang Qilin inserted his fingers into the water, he closed his eyes, as if engaging in a silent dialogue with the water.

His movements were gentle yet powerful; every subtle touch was captured by his fingertips.

Zhang Hao stood to the side, his eyes fixed on Zhang Qilin's fingers, secretly admiring him.

He knew that Zhang Qilin was using his "Faqiu Finger" technique, which he had practiced diligently for many years, to sense the underwater situation.

Zhang Qilin brought the ancient art of "faqiu fingering" to its fullest potential.

It is not merely a symbol of power, but also the ultimate embodiment of perception and insight.

Zhang Qilin's fingertips gently traced patterns in the water, exploring an unknown territory.

His senses became exceptionally sharp at that moment, as if not even a single grain of dust underwater could escape his perception.

Suddenly, Zhang Qilin's expression changed, and he quickly pulled his fingers out of the water.

The movement was so swift, it was as if they were dodging some deadly danger.

When his fingers were exposed to the public again, a finger-thick, translucent red worm, about half a meter long, was tightly held between his two fingers.

The insect twisted and struggled on Zhang Qilin's fingertips, unwilling to accept its bound fate.

Its body had an eerie red hue, as if it had been soaked in blood.

Its head is sharp and pointed, seemingly capable of easily piercing the skin of any creature.

Its eyes were as black as ink, gleaming with a chilling light, as if they could see into the fear and despair in people's hearts.

"Ancient bloodsucking worm!"

Zhang Hao recognized the terrifying insect at a glance, and his voice carried a hint of undisguised surprise.

This wasn't the first time he'd seen this kind of insect.

Ancient bloodsucking worms, these ancient and malevolent creatures, are known for their ubiquitous parasitic abilities and terrifying methods of draining life force.

They live in dark and damp environments, feeding on the life force of other creatures.

Once parasitized, a creature's vitality is quickly depleted, leaving only a withered shell.

Zhang Hao recalled the scene of his first encounter with the ancient bloodsucking worm.

It was in a gloomy ancient tomb, where ancient bloodsucking worms swarmed in like a tide, instantly surrounding them.

If it weren't for the protection of their Qilin bloodline, they would probably have met with misfortune long ago if they hadn't known what was going on.

At this moment, when Zhang Hao saw these terrifying insects again, a strong sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.

If Zhang Qilin hadn't checked beforehand, the consequences of their rash entry into the water would have been unimaginable.

Beneath those seemingly calm waters may lurk countless bloodsucking worms, waiting to drain their life force.

Zhang Qilin gripped the bloodsucking worm tightly, his eyes revealing a resolute and ruthless determination.

He quickly threw the bloodsucking worm aside and then burned it to death with a torch.

The insect emitted a mournful howl in the flames, as if expressing its resentment and despair.

But Zhang Qilin remained unmoved. He stared expressionlessly at the ancient bloodsucking worm that had been burned to death and said:

"These things are everywhere in the water. Everyone must be fully prepared before going into the water, because if they parasitize you, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Zhang Qilin's voice was deep and powerful. Everyone understood that only by maintaining a high degree of vigilance and caution could they survive in this unknown territory.

After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Zhang Qilin re-examined the surrounding environment and, after confirming that there were no other dangers, slowly stepped into the water.

He had Qilin blood in his body and was not afraid of these insects, but the others were different. They all took out waterproof shoe covers that were deeper than their knees and put them on before stepping into the water.

Of course, there was one exception: Zhang Hao. His Qilin blood had undergone more than ten evolutions and was far more powerful than the Qilin blood in Zhang Qilin's body. Those ancient blood-sucking insects dared not approach him at all.

As they explored further, the scene in the hall gradually unfolded before their eyes. It was a spacious and mysterious space, with a huge altar placed in the center.

The altar was decorated with various strange offerings and utensils, exuding a mysterious and eerie atmosphere.

The offerings and utensils were of various shapes; some resembled ancient totem poles, some mysterious ritual implements, and others the remains of some unknown creature.

Zhang Qilin stood before the altar, his eyes revealing a profound sense of awe.

He slowly reached out and gently touched the offerings and utensils on the altar.

A cool and mysterious sensation came from his fingertips, as if he were having a silent conversation with those ancient objects.

A strong urge welled up within him to delve deeper into the stories and power behind these offerings and artifacts.

However, at that moment, a dazzling light suddenly shone on the altar.

The light was as dazzling as a star, instantly illuminating the entire hall.

In the light, the offerings and utensils on the altar began to change.

They seemed to be activated by some mysterious force, and began to exude a strong aura.

The aura contained both an ancient and mysterious quality, as well as a chilling sense of dread.

Zhang Qilin and the others took a few steps back. They didn't know what would happen next and could only watch nervously as everything unfolded before them.

Just then, a powerful energy surged from the altar. The surge was as turbulent as a tidal wave, instantly engulfing the entire hall.

Zhang Qilin and the others were all shocked by this power, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.
