System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

It's no wonder the fat man was so scared of such a deep place; he's always had a fear of heights.

Initially, the pool was full of water, and the burial coffin was suspended only three or four meters above the water surface. Now, the water level in the pool has dropped to tens of meters below the bottom, which is why they were frightened.

Seeing the fat man's frightened expression, Ding Yudie laughed and said, "What's wrong? You're such a big guy and you're afraid of heights? Don't wet your pants later."

"Who says Fatty is scared? The treasure in the coffin is still waiting for me."

The fat man looked up at the burial coffin, trying to keep his gaze from looking down, and gritted his teeth as he continued to climb toward the coffin.

After climbing up to the side of the large number of burial coffins, he hugged the coffin tightly before he felt at ease.

This is a bronze coffin shaped like a seashell, with intricate patterns carved on the outside.

The fat man lifted the top shell and flipped it up, opening the coffin.

His face fell instantly when he looked inside.

"What's wrong, Fatty? No treasure?"

"Damn it, there are three burnt dead kids inside."

"Hey, wait a minute, these three brats all have fish-like tails!"

"A fish tail, isn't that a mermaid?"

Yi Sa exclaimed in surprise.

"Are there really creatures called merfolk?"

Wu Tianzhen asked curiously.

Yi Sa nodded: "That's right, but there are very few merfolk in the world now. They only exist in the South China Sea Ruins, and ordinary people have no chance to see them."

Legend has it that a single drop of fish oil roasted by mermaids could burn for months, and many nobles in ancient times used it to make everlasting lamps.

Zhang Hao had never seen a merman before, and he was curious about what they looked like.

He leaped up and landed next to the burial coffin.

The fat man was startled when Zhang Hao suddenly appeared beside him and almost fell.

"Wow, Zhang Hao, when did you get up here?"

"They just jumped up here."

It's more like flying than jumping; a distance of three or four meters is not so easy to jump.

The fat man glanced down and immediately looked at Zhang Hao with a look of utter disbelief.

Zhang Hao ignored the fat man and looked directly into the burial coffin.

Inside the coffin lay three monsters, each the size of an infant, completely black, with human bodies and fish tails.

However, they weren't charred as the fat man claimed; their scales were originally black.

Suddenly, Zhang Hao noticed that the corpses had bronze plaques tied to their ankles with some ancient characters on them.

"Naive, come up here and see what's written on this!"

"Okay, Uncle."

Wu Tianzhen responded and climbed onto the bronze chain, then followed the chain toward the burial coffin.

He picked up the bronze plaque on the mermaid's ankle, glanced at it, and translated, "Guiding Immortals and Saints, it seems these three corpses are guiding children, used by the tomb owner to lead the way after becoming an immortal."

Just as the three were examining the merman's corpse, there was a sudden commotion in the tomb.

The bronze burial coffin, suspended in mid-air by several bronze chains, began to shake inexplicably.

Caught off guard, Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, and Fatty almost fell off the bronze chains.

The fat man turned pale with fright and clung tightly to the burial coffin, refusing to let go.

Zhang Hao looked around and saw that the bronze chains that hung the burial coffins had become loose at some point and could fall off at any moment.

"Get down quickly. These chains have been oxidized by seawater for many years and are rotten. They can no longer support the weight of several of us."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Hao grabbed Wu Tianzhen and the fat man by the arms and jumped off the chains.

Only then did the bronze chains stop shaking.

"call……"

After landing, the fat man let out a long sigh of relief.

"I was so scared just now. If I fell from that height, I would definitely be smashed to pieces."

"Fatty, how can a grown man like you be afraid of heights?"

Zhang Hao glanced at the fat man, who was tall and strong and usually fearless, even daring to confront the zombies in the ancient tomb.
