System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Wu Tianzhen said, her face ashen:

"Is it an ancient bloodsucking worm?"

Zhang Qiling frowned, slowly shook his head, his gaze fixed on the still writhing worm on the ground, and said in a deep voice:

"This is the first time I've ever seen this kind of insect, but I'm sure it's not an ancient bloodsucking worm."

Zhang Qiling is very familiar with ancient bloodsucking worms.

When he was a child, he was taken to the ancient city of Sizhou to have his blood drained, an experience that remains vivid in his memory.

At that time, in order to find the token of the former clan leader, the Zhang family took him, who possessed the precious blood of the Qilin, into the underground of the ancient city of Sizhou. They forcibly bled him to drive away the insects, made him clear the passages buried in silt, and even made him enter narrow spaces that adults could not pass through to retrieve funerary objects.

The bloodsucking worms swarmed in like a tide, densely packed, and he still remembers the fear and despair of being surrounded by countless insects.

Therefore, although these blood-red worms in front of him were equally bizarre and terrifying, he was certain that they were not ancient bloodsucking worms.

As Zhang Qiling recalled that dark past, a barely perceptible hint of pain flashed in his eyes.

He looked at the fat man, then at everyone else, and emphasized again:

"These insects are not ancient bloodsucking insects. Everyone be careful and don't let your guard down. There may be more unknown dangers at the bottom of this abyss."

Hearing Zhang Qiling's words, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, but at the same time became even more vigilant. After all, no one knew what terrifying abilities these unknown insects possessed.

Zhang Qiling said no more, holding the Black Gold Ancient Blade, and quickly pried off the remaining worms on the fat man's body.

The worms that had been picked off fell to the ground, still wriggling, trying to find a new host.

Everyone looked at these disgusting insects and couldn't help but take a few steps back, filled with revulsion.

After Zhang Qiling used the Black Gold Ancient Sword to pry open the worms on the fat man's body, the group dared not linger and continued to cautiously advance towards the sunken ship.

A damp, rotten smell permeated the surroundings, making one want to vomit.

The ground beneath my feet was muddy and slippery, and every step required a great deal of effort.

Half an hour later, they finally arrived at the bottom of the shipwreck.

When the massive shipwreck appeared before everyone's eyes, they all gasped in shock.

The sunken ship was found to be broken in the middle, as if it had been forcibly severed by a huge, sharp blade. The cut was jagged and looked extremely strange.

The fat man pointed to the crack in the middle and exclaimed in surprise:

"Why does this ship look like it was split in two?"

"Fatty, what kind of person are you thinking of? There's no such powerful person who can split a ship that's tens of meters long in half."

Wu Tianzhen shook her head, denying the fat man's guess.

"What if it's not human?"

Zhang Hao was startled upon hearing this. Yes, humans don't have this ability. What if they weren't human?

If it's not human, then what is it?

Zhang Hao looked up at the strange shipwreck before him, a strong sense of unease rising in his heart.

He felt something was off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

The feeling was like an invisible pair of eyes watching them from the shadows, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Everyone be careful!

Zhang Hao's expression was serious as he whispered a reminder.

Everyone nodded, their expressions becoming even more wary.

Zhang Hao took a deep breath, bent his knees slightly, and then leaped upwards, using his flying ability to fly onto the ship.

After he gained a firm footing on the deck, he quickly looked around to make sure there was no danger before bending down to secure the climbing rope.

The others climbed up the ropes, one by one, onto the deck of the ship.

"Look, there are some mummified corpses over here!"

Yi Sa suddenly exclaimed, breaking the silence.

Everyone immediately ran in her direction.

Zhang Hao walked over and saw more than a dozen mummified corpses lying haphazardly on the ground on one side of the deck.

These mummies had been dead for an unknown period of time; only some of their unrotted bones remained, emitting a pungent, musty smell.

However, one of the corpses had a relatively well-preserved hand bone with two unusually long fingers, which is a characteristic of those who practice the Faqiu Finger technique.

"How come there are members of the Zhang family here?"

Zhang Hao frowned and looked at Zhang Qiling, asking a question.

Zhang Qiling squatted down, carefully examining the mummified corpse. After a moment of silence, he said:

"I don't know, but there must be some hidden story behind this."

These mummies had been dead for quite some time, and they appeared to be searching for something.
