System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

As he spoke, the fat man took out a bundle of explosives from his backpack, lit it, and threw it into the cave.

"I'll blow you all up, you bunch of dead bugs!"

"boom!"

A few seconds later, a loud bang came from the cave, and the ground beneath everyone's feet began to shake as the explosion rang out.

The soil around the cave edges showed spiderweb-like cracks, and then large chunks collapsed downwards.

Uncle Wu shouted and led everyone to flee desperately. They ran for over a hundred meters before the ground beneath their feet stopped collapsing.

"Fatty, do you want to be buried with the corpse beetles?!"

"Uncle Wu, if we hadn't blown the cave entrance up, the blood from the corpse beetles would have been insufficient, and who knows what kind of disaster the release of the nine-headed cypress would have caused."

"Alright, think before you do anything in the future. At least let us retreat to a safe place before detonating it."

"Hey, I got it!"

The fat man chuckled, then plopped down on the ground, panting heavily.

"Where's the guy?"

"Where is Aning?"

"Won't they both fall in and get buried alive?"

Wu Tianzhen suddenly realized that two people were missing from the group: Zhang Qilin and A Ning were gone.

"She ran away. I saw the woman run away as soon as I came out, but I didn't see the young man."

"Panzi, are you sure?"

Wu Tianzhen couldn't help but worry when she heard that Pan Zi hadn't seen Zhang Qilin either.

"Don't worry, if you're fine, how could the young man be in trouble?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tianzhen immediately realized that what the fat man said made sense. Zhang Qilin was far more capable than him, and if he was alright, how could Zhang Qilin possibly be in trouble?

"Brother Zhang Hao, when you left, I saw you pick something up from the corpse. Could you show it to me?"

"Ah."

Zhang Hao responded and took out the pendant, tossing it to the fat man.

"Wait, let me take a look first."

The fat man had barely gotten his hands on it before Uncle Wu took it away before he could even look at it.

"Third Brother, is there a problem?"

Uncle Wu didn't speak, but held the pendant in his hand, closed his eyes, and seemed to be thinking.

After a long while, he exclaimed in surprise, "An ancestral tablet! This is the ancestral tablet of the Three Surnames Water Demon!"

Zhang Hao also knew something about the Three Surnames Water Demon. If the tomb raiders and the tomb raiders were those who searched for tombs on the ground, then they specialized in searching for tombs underwater.

The three surnames are Ding, Jiang, and Yi, and each generation of each family will produce a water demon.

A water demon is a member of a family with special abilities, such as the ability to breathe freely underwater. A second water demon will only be born in the family after the death of the previous one.

The Ancestral Tablet is the magic weapon of the Water Demon family. Only when the Water Demons cooperate with the Ancestral Tablet can they accurately locate the ancient tombs underwater.

Thinking about this, Zhang Hao suddenly realized something.

The three middle-aged men who suddenly appeared had said that the three-surname water demons were containers they kept in captivity. Combined with the fact that there was only one water demon per generation, and that a new water demon would only be born when the previous one died, I suddenly understood.

The Three Surnames Water Demon, whose reputation in the tomb raiding world is second only to the Nine Gates and Four Schools, is one of the forces controlled by the so-called god.

What a load of bull! The water demon is nothing but a person whose body has been taken over by the consciousness of another person.

"The ancestral tablet is the most important treasure of the Three Surnames Water Demon. We don't know whose it is. Don't let today's events get out of reach of others, lest we get into unnecessary trouble."

Uncle Wu gave Zhang Hao a few instructions and then tossed the ancestral tablet back to Fatty.

"So this is the ancestral tablet of the Three Surnames Water Demon. It is said that with it, one can locate the position of an underwater ancient tomb. It is truly a rare treasure."

The fat man held the ancestral tablet with envy that made his eyes red.

Compared to ancient tombs on land, underwater tombs are more difficult to plunder, and are relatively better preserved, containing countless treasures.

Now that a treasure capable of locating an underwater ancient tomb has appeared, no one can resist its allure.

"Brother Zhang Hao, you must keep this safe and don't lose it."

The fat man reluctantly returned the ancestral tablet to Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao put away the ancestral tablet and placed it into his storage space. At that moment, a system notification sounded in his mind.
