System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

It was from that time that my body began to mutate, and I became the new generation of the Yi family's Water Demon.

However, I am different from other water demons. My personality did not change after the mutation. Other water demons undergo a drastic change in temperament after becoming water demons, as if they are completely different people.

Later, after further investigation, I discovered that the matter of the water demon seemed to be more complex than it appeared, so I continued my investigation, eventually tracing it back to the shipwreck tomb.

"Is Brother Ding's current effeminate mannerism due to the mutation he underwent after becoming a water demon?"

The fat man looked at Ding Yudie and smiled.

Yi Sa smiled and said, "No, to be precise, none of the water spirits of our generation have changed significantly, but our abilities are still inferior to those of those whose moods have changed drastically."

Zhang Hao had previously guessed that the so-called water demon was actually a person whose body was possessed by the so-called god, and now it seems that his guess was correct.

However, something unexpected happened that prevented Yi Sa, Ding Yudie, and their generation of water demons from completely mutating.

In other words, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie are not complete water demons, so their water demon abilities are limited.

As for why this situation occurred, Zhang Hao guessed that the consciousness of the person controlling the situation had been weakening over time and was no longer able to completely take over another person's body.

This is why Yi Sa and Ding Yudie, despite being water spirits, still retain their own consciousness.

They only briefly lose control of their bodies when using ancestral amulets.

Combining these clues, it's easy to understand why they were so eager to obtain the Faqiu Seal.

The faqiu imprint has the ability to store consciousness and memory.

As long as they preserve their consciousness and memories in the Faqiu seal, they will not weaken, and then they can continue to live forever by occupying a new body through special means.

In the world of tomb raiding, bronze not only has the ability to materialize but also the ability to erase memories.

The arrows shot from the tomb passage all have lotus-shaped arrowheads, so they won't kill anyone, but each arrow contains a bronze needle.

Combining these two points, we can understand the true purpose of this mechanism: it doesn't aim to kill people, but rather to erase their memories.

"You'd better not use the ancestral tablets anymore."

Zhang Hao offered a reminder, but whether they believed him or not was none of his business.

"Brother Zhang Hao, do you know something?"

Yi Sa immediately reacted upon hearing the reminder.

"I'm not sure either. Maybe we should continue exploring the shipwreck tombs; we might find the answer inside."

"Clang, clang..."

At this moment, the earthenware pot that had been leading the way started rolling again.

Zhang Hao followed the pottery jar at a leisurely pace, and soon they reached the end of the tomb passage.

There is a stone gate here, which is octagonal, taller than a person, and about two meters wide.

The pottery jar was bounced away as soon as it approached the stone gate, as if an invisible hand was pushing it away. No matter how hard it tried, it could not get closer to the stone gate.

"The Five Elements and the Eight Trigrams!"

Zhang Qilin muttered something to himself and stepped forward, sliding two long fingers across the stone gate.

"This is the Faqiu Finger Technique! Who exactly is this young man? How could he possibly know the Faqiu Finger Technique, a technique that has long been lost!"

Yi Sa was shocked to recognize that Zhang Qilin was using the "Fox Spirit Technique".

"Is it really necessary to be so shocked? My brother Zhang Hao would do that too."

"That's right, my uncle can do it too!"

Upon hearing this, Yi Sa looked as if she had seen a ghost. She had already witnessed Zhang Hao's skill, but she never expected that he would also possess such a long-lost technique.

Zhang Hao smiled. He didn't know any special "Fox Spirit Finger" technique; he was just imitating it based on his physical strength and power.

Even so, his "Finger of the Tomb Raider" technique was no weaker than Zhang Qilin's, and its power was even greater.

"Hey buddy, how's it going? Did you manage to crack the mechanism on the stone door?"

Zhang Hao arrived at the stone gate and inquired.
