Feasibility of Mermaids Infiltrating Qilin

The tomb chamber was completely dark. Zhang Shenglin stood inside and pursed his lips.

He was somewhat worried about the little merman. The malice of that clan school teacher towards him was too obvious. He had become accustomed to this attitude. After the teacher showed him malice, he would always encounter some dangerous things.

But this time was different. It seemed that the teacher had noticed the little mermaid because of him, and he was afraid that the little mermaid would be implicated by him.

The tomb was very quiet, so even the slightest sound would be very noticeable.

Kaka!

Zhang Shenglin's ears twitched, and his pair of dark eyes sharply turned to the direction from which the sound came.

click!

The sound of mechanisms being activated came from more than one place. The room was too dark, and without any light source, Zhang Shenglin's night vision was also affected.

It's windy!

The stagnant air in the tomb chamber underwent a subtle change. Zhang Shenglin turned his head to look at the source of the change. His calm and indifferent eyes showed no fluctuation, but a dagger gleaming with cold light suddenly appeared in his hand.

The rustling sounds grew louder, and a foul odor, not belonging to the tomb, began to slowly spread.

In the four corners of the tomb chamber, after the mechanism is activated, four fist-sized secret passages are revealed, from which the faint air currents, fishy smells, and subtle movements originate.

Zhang Shenglin flicked his wrist slightly, and the sharp blade sliced ​​through the air with a whooshing sound. The dagger flew from his hand and accurately pierced the head of the snake that was wriggling out of the hole.

Half of the snake's body temporarily blocked the entrance to the hole, but at the same time, swarms of insects and ants crawled out of the other three holes.

A brightly colored spider, the size of a goose egg, with a body that looked extremely venomous, slithered toward Zhang Shenglin with its long, hairy legs.

A chain was attached to the hilt of the dagger, the other end of which was held in Zhang Shenglin's hand. He pulled hard and ripped the dagger from the snake carcass, at which point the spider and ants were only about half a meter away from him.

Zhang Shenglin's eyes were cold and aloof. He pressed his fingertips against the blade of the dagger, the sharp blade drawing a thin line of blood on his fingertips.

Bright red blood dripped from his fingertips, and the instant it hit the ground, an invisible pressure seemed to descend. The insects that had been surging towards Zhang Shenglin like a tide froze for a moment, and the next second, as if they had encountered a terrifying natural enemy, all the insects began to retreat at an even faster speed.

The opening in the tomb chamber was very small, and countless insects and ants were trying to escape this place with its terrifying atmosphere, but insects and ants kept squeezing out of the opening.

The insects in the tomb chamber wanted to escape, while the insects in the mechanism hole kept trying to get in, creating a siege-like scene in the insect world within this small tomb chamber.

These specially bred insects and ants are extremely ferocious. When the two meet, a life-or-death battle erupts. The insects and ants crowding the entrance of the burrow meet, fight, and die. The dead insects are then eaten by the newcomers, becoming nutrients for them. No insect or ant at the entrance can escape.

Zhang Shenglin looked down at the scene until the wound on his fingertip congealed and the effect of the drop of blood faded.

Without the deterrent effect of the Qilin's blood, the insects and ants that had been frantically killing each other showed signs of a truce.

These insects were much larger than their counterparts, but they were too small for Zhang Shenglin.

The insects and ants, having determined their direction, locked onto Zhang Shenglin as their target once again. To make matters worse, the snake carcass blocking the entrance showed signs of being squeezed out of the hole.

The insects and ants swarmed towards him again.

Numerous, small in size, and highly poisonous, the endless swarms of insects and ants would be a deadly predicament for anyone without Qilin blood, or with a slightly lower concentration of Qilin blood.

Zhang Shenglin gripped the blade in one hand and slashed a long, deep gash in his palm. More blood dripped onto the ground than before, and all the insects and ants froze in place, then retreated at an even faster and more ferocious speed than before.

The battle at the cave entrance was even more brutal and bloody.

The area around Zhang Shenglin was an absolute territory, untouched by snakes, insects, or poisonous ants. It was inviolable and inviolable, and no insect dared to cross it.

This is what Su Xingze saw when he teleported to Zhang Shenglin's side.

He didn't have time to think about where these snakes, insects, and poisonous ants that were killing each other came from. When he smelled the blood of the Qilin that permeated the air, his face turned completely cold.

His gaze fell on Zhang Shenglin's still bleeding palm; the long wound was shocking, and he didn't hold back when he saw it.

A chilling aura surged within the eerie green eyes, and an aura even more terrifying than the blood of the Qilin descended upon the tomb. The snakes, insects, and venomous ants that were fighting tooth and nail for a tiny bit of space seemed to have been put on pause.

The next second, an invisible airflow blew by, and the snakes, insects, and venomous ants that were frozen in place instantly turned into bubbles and dispersed without leaving a trace.

In the entire tomb chamber, only Su Xingze and Zhang Shenglin remained alive. Due to the awe-inspiring power of the Qilin's blood, the snakes, insects, and poisonous ants deeper into the mechanism passage dared not continue to surge in, and only hesitated in a narrow, dark passage a certain distance from the tomb chamber.

The clan school teacher, hidden somewhere, noticed the unusual behavior of these snakes, insects, and poisonous ants. He let out a cold snort, a sound filled with jealousy that drifted through the deserted tomb.

"Hmph, Qilin blood?"

He wanted to see how long the fake could last, even with the protection of the Qilin's blood, inside this sealed tomb.

They have a long way to go.

After turning off the deliberately opened mechanism, Zhang Ruifeng left the central tomb chamber that controlled the mechanisms of the entire underground tomb.

The sound of the mechanism closing broke the tense atmosphere between Su Xingze and Zhang Shenglin.

Su Xingze's slightly cold green eyes swept over the child's palm. In that short time, he had enough time to analyze what had happened.

He was furious, furious at the malicious intentions of the person behind the scenes, and furious at the child's lack of self-respect, even though he knew that in that situation, using Qilin blood was the fastest and most effective solution.

He lightly touched Zhang Shenglin's palm with his finger, and a vibrant energy circulated around the wound. The deep wound healed almost instantly, and the shallower wound on his thumb was completely undetectable.

After doing all this, Su Xingze, with a cold face, took out a high-powered camping lamp and held it in his hand.

The camping lights emitted a warm orange glow, illuminating the narrow, rectangular tomb chamber.

Su Xingze hung the lamp on the protruding candlestick on the wall, turned around and walked towards the coffin in the center, not giving Zhang Shenglin even a glance the entire time.

Take out the portable cleaning robot to clean the entire tomb chamber, disinfect and ventilate it (using an air purifier), put down the double recliner used on New Year's Eve, lie down on it, close your eyes and go to sleep.

Zhang Shenglin knew he was angry, but he only vaguely understood why the little mermaid was angry.

He vaguely understood that the little mermaid was angry because he had hurt him, but his long experience of having his blood drawn to expel worms made him take it for granted.

He didn't realize that his self-harm would make those who cared about him feel bad.

He didn't realize that he actually had other ways to deal with these insects that wanted to attack him without hurting himself, which was the reason why Su Xingze was angry with him.

Zhang Shenglin tentatively touched the little mermaid's hand, which was placed to the side, and his expression changed as soon as he touched it.

"Aze!"

The skin his fingertips touched was cool. The little merman's skin had always been a little cooler than his body temperature, and Zhang Shenglin was used to it, but it was never like this before, like a frozen block of ice.

He pushed himself up onto the recliner, leaned over and touched Su Xingze's forehead with his hand. The cold touch felt like touching a block of ice dug out of a glacier.

"Aze..."

Zhang Shenglin hugged the little mermaid, his usually cold and indifferent eyes shattering and losing their usual calm.

"What’s wrong with you……"
