System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

[Ding, congratulations host, 116th fusion completed. Fusion item: Human Skin Figurine.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing with the human skin puppet. You have gained the item trait: Stealth (Under special circumstances, the body blends into the environment, achieving invisibility)]

[Ding! Fusing with a rare item, Qilin bloodline purification progress +100.]

The system responded immediately, and a strange power surged from Zhang Hao's body.

He felt an unprecedented power surging within him, as if something was awakening in his blood and becoming one with him.

As the fusion was completed, Zhang Hao's eyes snapped open, shooting out two sharp beams of light.

He felt the newfound power within him, and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

At this moment, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation, and his strength had reached a new level.

"Is everyone okay?"

Zhang Hao turned to look at everyone and asked with concern.

Xie Xiaohua, Fatty, and the others shook their heads, indicating that they were fine.

They looked at Zhang Hao with astonishment and awe in their eyes.

"Thanks to your uncle, otherwise we might all be doomed here."

Xie Xiaohua said gratefully.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly and said nothing more.

His gaze swept across the tomb chamber again, and he found that the vermilion coffin had returned to calm, as if everything just now was just an illusion.

“Let’s continue and see what other secrets this tomb holds,” Zhang Hao said.

Everyone nodded in agreement, and they embarked on their exploration once again.

After searching, they found a stone altar in a corner of the tomb.

On the altar sat an ancient jade cauldron, filled with a black liquid that emitted a faint fishy smell.

"What is this?"

The fat man asked curiously.

Xie Xiaohua frowned, carefully examined the jade cauldron, and then said:

"This appears to be an ancient sacrificial vessel, and the liquid inside may be some kind of offering."

"Sacrificial offerings? What could those be?" Wu Tianzhen asked.

Xie Xiaohua shook her head, indicating that she was unsure.

He reached out to touch the jade cauldron, but Zhang Hao stopped him.

"Be careful, this thing doesn't look simple. We'd better not make any rash moves."

Zhang Hao reminded him.

Xie Xiaohua nodded and withdrew her hand.

They continued to observe the altar, trying to find more clues.

Just then, the altar suddenly emitted a burst of light, which grew brighter and brighter until it illuminated the entire tomb chamber.

Everyone retreated, watching the changes on the altar warily.

In the light, the jade cauldron on the altar slowly rose and hovered in mid-air.

The black liquid in the cauldron began to boil, as if something was about to burst out of it.

"Everyone, be careful, there's something going on!"

Zhang Hao shouted.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a dark figure burst out of the jade cauldron and rushed straight toward the group.

The dark figure moved with incredible speed, like a black lightning bolt, and arrived before them in an instant.

Zhang Hao reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack from the shadowy figure in a flash.

At the same time, he waved his hand, and a blazing flame surged from his palm, striking the dark figure directly.

The flames collided with the shadows, creating a deafening explosion.

After the explosion, the dark figure vanished without a trace, and Zhang Hao took a few steps back.

Just then, the light on the altar shone again, and the jade cauldron seemed to be drawn by some force, slowly turning.

As the jade cauldron turned, the air in the tomb chamber began to become heavy, as if even breathing became difficult.

"Oh no, this jade cauldron seems to be summoning something!"

"Xie Xiaohua exclaimed in surprise."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao's expression turned serious.

His gaze was fixed on the jade cauldron.

However, at that moment, a deep roar came from the depths of the tomb, making their eardrums ache.

The deep roar grew louder and louder, as if a sleeping beast was being awakened, carrying endless anger and pressure.

The air in the tomb seemed to freeze, and everyone felt difficulty breathing and their hearts were racing.

Zhang Hao frowned deeply: "Everyone stay together, don't scatter!"

Zhang Hao quickly moved to the center of the crowd, clenching his fists, ready to deal with any potential crisis.

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaohua, Fatty, and the others quickly gathered around, their eyes fixed on the constantly rotating jade cauldron.

Just then, a series of heavy footsteps suddenly came from the depths of the tomb. The sound grew louder as it approached, each step seeming to weigh heavily on everyone's hearts, making them feel an indescribable pressure.

"coming!"

Zhang Hao whispered, his eyes fixed intently on the source of the voice.

Sure enough, as the footsteps drew closer, a massive figure slowly came into view.

It was a giant draped in a black robe, with a ferocious face, bloodshot eyes, and an aura of intense malevolence emanating from him.

"Is this... a monster guarding this place?"

The fat man cried out in terror.

The black-robed giant seemed to sense the hostility of Zhang Hao and the others. It let out a deafening roar and then charged towards them.

It was incredibly fast, moving like a ghost, and arrived in front of Zhang Hao in an instant.

Zhang Hao snorted coldly, and with a flash, skillfully dodged the giant's attack.

At the same time, he waved the flame in his hand, which transformed into a blazing fire dragon that rushed straight towards the giant.

However, the black-robed giant seemed to possess boundless power; with a single punch, it shattered the fire dragon.

Then, it charged at Zhang Hao again, faster and more powerful than before.

Zhang Hao was shocked; he hadn't expected the black-robed giant to be so powerful.

It's been a long time since I've encountered such a strong opponent.
