System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

"Holy crap, what kind of monster is in the coffin?!"

As the stone coffin lid slowly opened, a somber and ancient aura instantly filled the air, as if traversing a thousand years of time and bringing everyone into an unknown world.

The fat man's exclamation broke the surrounding silence. His gaze was fixed on the inside of the stone coffin, where, instead of the remains of an ancient king or high priest they had expected, lay a gigantic, terrifying worm unlike any they had ever seen before.

This worm bore a striking resemblance to the ancient bloodsucking worms of the past, but its size was enormous, as if it had been magnified dozens of times, almost filling the entire space of the stone coffin.

Its body is semi-transparent, with dark red liquid flowing inside. It is a strange fluid that is not like blood but carries a strong life force, and it shimmers with an ominous light under the dim light.

The insect's skin is covered with tiny lines that seem to be constantly wriggling and changing, like a living thing. A glance at them sends chills down your spine, as if you are looking directly into the abyss.

What is most disgusting and terrifying is that the worm's head is unusually large, covered with countless tiny tentacles and suckers, each of which is trembling slightly, as if ready to capture any prey that comes near.

Its eyes, or rather, those deep black holes, were devoid of any life, yet they revealed an intense, greedy thirst for life, as if they could see into the deepest fears of the human heart.

Around the insect's body were some withered, lifeless ancient bloodsucking worms, seemingly drawn by some force or killed to protect the insect mother, adding to the horror and eeriness of the scene.

"This is... the queen of an ancient bloodsucking worm?"

Uncle Wu made his guess in a trembling voice, his voice filled with disbelief and shock.

This speculation quickly spread among the crowd, and people began to whisper and discuss it.

If this is indeed the Queen Insect, then its existence is enough to explain why so many ancient bloodsucking insects are attracted here. They may be performing some kind of ancient ritual, or guarding this supreme being of their kind.

Such a creature is by no means benevolent, and the secrets hidden behind it are probably even more astonishing.

However, the greater the danger, the more it fueled their determination to explore the unknown.

Just then, a system notification sounded in his mind.

[Ding! Rare item discovered: Ancient Vampire Queen!]

Just as Uncle Wu had guessed, the stone coffin contained the insect mother.

Zhang Hao knew that he had to take action now, otherwise the awakening of the insect queen would bring a lot of trouble.

Moreover, and more importantly, killing the insect queen and then fusing with her would bring him benefits, so the insect queen must die no matter what.

"Try it with my blood."

Zhang Hao calmly said that he cut his finger again. This time, without hesitation, he dripped a drop of blood containing pure Qilin power into the stone coffin, directly towards the position of the Insect Mother.

At that moment, the entire space seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on that drop of blood, anticipating what would happen.

However, at first nothing seemed to change; the queen insect remained lying there quietly, without any reaction.

Just as a sense of foreboding was rising in everyone's hearts, something unexpected happened!

The moment that drop of Qilin blood touched the insect mother, it was like igniting an invisible bomb. The insect mother's body suddenly trembled violently, and her tiny tentacles and suckers began to dance wildly, as if she were suffering unprecedented pain.

Immediately afterwards, the dark red liquid inside the insect mother began to boil, its color rapidly deepening until it was almost black, and a pungent stench spread out, the smell of decaying and rotting life.
