System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

The air inside the mine seemed to grow heavier as they went deeper, each breath a silent struggle against ancient history and unknown dangers.

Following the faint markings left by the Hong family, Zhang Hao and his companions carefully navigated the intricate mine tunnels, each step filled with caution and vigilance.

On the walls of the mine tunnels, traces of time can be seen from time to time; those cracks eroded by time seem to tell the story of the vicissitudes of the past.

The scattered ore and decaying mine carts on the ground make one imagine how busy and bustling this place must have been in the past.

However, all this prosperity has vanished, leaving only endless silence and mystery.

"Everyone be careful, there might be a trap here."

Zhang Hao whispered a reminder, his eyes sharp as an eagle's, constantly watching the surrounding movements.

Upon hearing this, everyone tensed up even more, and even their breathing became extremely cautious.

Everyone knows that in this unknown mine tunnel, any negligence could lead to fatal danger.

Suddenly, a deep rumble came from ahead, like the roar of an ancient beast, sending chills down one's spine.

Zhang Hao and the others immediately stopped and looked nervously in the direction from which the sound came.

At the end of the mine tunnel, a huge stone door slowly opened, revealing a chilling glimmer of light.

"What's this?"

The fat man opened his mouth wide in surprise, his voice echoing eerily in the empty mine tunnel.

Zhang Hao frowned. He had never seen such a magnificent sight before, and he had no idea what secrets were hidden behind this stone door.

He emitted a strange sound wave forward in an attempt to find out what was behind the door, but what happened the next second surprised him greatly.

When the sound waves reached the vicinity of the stone gate, they stopped abruptly. Not only could they not travel any further, but they also disappeared abruptly, as if the sound waves had been swallowed up by the stone gate.

"Could it be that the stone door is made of something that can absorb sound waves?"

Zhang Hao thought to himself, since the sound waves couldn't reach behind the stone door, the only way to find out the situation was to go behind the door himself.

"We need to go in and take a look."

Zhang Hao said.

Hearing this, everyone felt a little uneasy, but they still followed Zhang Hao toward the stone gate.

As they passed through the stone gate and stepped inside, an ancient and mysterious aura wafted over them, instilling a sense of awe in them.

Behind the stone gate lies a spacious and secluded area, filled with exquisite murals and sculptures, each piece revealing the splendor and wisdom of ancient civilization.

However, these beautiful works of art cannot conceal the dangers lurking within the ancient tomb.

Zhang Hao and his group proceeded cautiously, always prepared to deal with any potential crises.

"Look, there's a statue over there!"

Ding Yudie suddenly pointed to a statue in front of her and exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the statue.

It towered into the clouds, its face contorted in a ferocious grimace, and it held a massive scythe in its hand, as if it were about to strike any intruder at any moment.

"This is... an evil god!"

Wu Tianzhen's expression changed; he recognized the statue.

"Evil God?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man couldn't help but feel puzzled:

"How could there be a statue of an evil god in this ancient tomb?"

Zhang Hao said in a deep voice:

"It's not surprising that there are statues of evil gods hidden in ancient tombs, after all, this was once a place where the Japanese devils conducted mysterious experiments."

They likely placed the statue of an evil god here for some purpose.

"Then what should we do?"

Huo Xiuxiu asked nervously, her voice trembling slightly.

Zhang Hao thought for a moment and said:

“Statues of evil gods are often associated with evil forces, and we should not touch them lightly.”

To avoid any further complications, let's go around that.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

They carefully circled around the statue of the evil god, afraid of disturbing the sleeping evil god.

However, just as they were about to leave, a sudden change occurred!

Suddenly, a plume of black smoke emerged from the statue of the evil god. This smoke quickly condensed in the air into a hideous face, which stared coldly at them.

"Oh no, the evil god has been alerted!"

Wu Tianzhen exclaimed, his voice filled with terror.

Seeing this, Zhang Hao said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, don't panic, stay calm!"

However, the evil god's attack had already begun.

Suddenly, the hideous face opened its mouth wide and spat out a ball of blazing flame, heading straight for Zhang Hao and the others.

"Hide!"

At Zhang Hao's command, everyone quickly moved aside.

However, the flames were moving too fast for them to completely dodge.

With a deafening roar, flames exploded in the mine tunnel, instantly turning everything around into ashes.

Apart from Zhang Hao and his group, everything else in the space behind the stone gate was destroyed.

Except for Zhang Hao, everyone else was thrown away by the enormous impact and fell to the ground.

They struggled to their feet and saw that the surrounding area was a mess, with the once sturdy mine tunnel walls riddled with holes from the flames.

Even so, they were secretly relieved.

Just as the flames struck, and they were about to be engulfed by the all-consuming fire, Zhang Hao intervened. He shielded them with his own body; otherwise, they would have been burned to ashes like everything else.

Everyone was still shaken by the near-death experience. Although they had encountered danger and faced life-or-death crises before, this was the first time they had ever been directly engulfed by flames like this.

"call……"

The fat man got up from the ground, let out a long breath, and looked at Zhang Hao with envy and gratitude, saying:

"Thanks to Brother Zhang Hao, we definitely wouldn't be alive without you. But what is your body made of? It's one thing to be invulnerable to swords and spears, but how come it's also impervious to water and fire!"

"That's right, even the legendary immortals are probably no better than this!"

Aside from the fat man, everyone else looked on with envy and were also curious about why Zhang Hao's body was so strong.

Just then, the fat man's expression suddenly turned serious. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and exclaimed in surprise:

"This is trouble."
