Tomb Raiding: All Things Merge, Starting with 400x Strength

Zhang Hao and his group rested at the village guesthouse for one night. The next day, they found a car in the village to leave Qimeng Mountain. After finding the off-road vehicle parked at the visitor center, they drove to the provincial capital airport.

Fatty only parted ways with Zhang Hao and the others at the airport and returned to Beijing alone.

Uncle Wu and Pan Zi went to Xingcheng to handle the Wu family's affairs, and only Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen returned to Hangzhou.

The two waited at the airport for more than two hours before boarding the plane.

Zhang Hao found a seat by the window and sat down. Soon, a faint stench of corpses filled the air.

He looked up and saw a woman in her late teens or early twenties approaching him.

Zhang Hao was very familiar with this smell; he had smelled it the day before in the cave in the Lu King's Palace where the nine-headed cypress grew.

It's that special smell that only comes from people whose bodies have been possessed by the consciousness of others.

Seeing Zhang Hao staring intently at a woman, Wu Tianzhen chuckled and said, "Uncle, are you planning to find me an aunt?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

Although the woman in front of me was handsome and dashing, her actions and demeanor were not pretentious.

But the consciousness residing within her was neither male nor female, and she was an ancient monster who had lived for countless years. How could she possibly be attracted to such a person?

However, he never expected that he would encounter such a person on his way back to Hangzhou, just after learning about their existence from the Lu Palace.

This kind of person is his enemy, so he just paid a little more attention to them.

"Shh, over here!"

As soon as the woman entered the cabin, a well-dressed man with slicked-back hair greeted her warmly.

sough?

Could this woman be Yi Sa?

As far as Zhang Hao knew, Yi Sa was the contemporary water demon of the Yi family.

When she was a child, the entire Yi family went to rob an underwater tomb, but they were all wiped out. Only little Yi Sa, who stayed in the car and did not go into the water, survived.

Since then, her body has mutated, and she has become the contemporary water demon of the Yi family.

Zhang Hao already knew that the current water demon of the Three Surnames Water Demon Family was actually someone whose body had been taken over by the consciousness of another person.

Could it be that Yi Sa's body was possessed by the "god" who had been controlling their family at that time?

"Sasa, that Third Master Wu is ruthless. Will it really do you any good to go to him?"

"When he was young, he went down to the shipwreck tomb in the Xisha Islands of the South China Sea. There are clues to my mutation in that tomb. I must find him and ask him for the exact location of the shipwreck tomb!"

……

Zhang Hao was startled when he overheard Yi Sa chatting with someone else.

These two people were actually going to Hangzhou to find Uncle Wu.

Could it be that the Wu family has some secrets they don't know about, and that they've actually been involved with this so-called god for a long time?

"Sasa, that person over there has been watching you ever since you boarded the plane. Could it be that Ding Changsheng sent him to spy on us? What if he overheard our conversation just now?"

"Don't worry, we're talking very quietly, only the two of us can hear us. Even if he has excellent hearing, he can't hear anything in this noisy environment from that distance."

Zhang Hao smiled upon hearing this; he had indeed overheard their conversation clearly.

Normally, in such a noisy environment on an airplane, with more than a dozen rows of seats separated, you should be able to hear their conversation.

However, after fusing with the human-faced black porcupine, it gained spider-sensing abilities.

His five senses far surpassed those of ordinary people, so this distance was no different from being right next to each other, and he could hear their conversation clearly.

Although Yi Sa believed that Zhang Hao couldn't hear their conversation, she didn't mention it to anyone else afterward, and instead kept her eyes closed to rest until the plane landed at Hangzhou Airport.

Zhang Hao and Wu Tianzhen drove back to the Wu family's old house. As soon as they got out of the car, a taxi stopped behind them.

Looking back, I saw Yi Sa, whom I had met on the plane, and another man.

"It's you! What are you doing here? Are you members of the Wu family?"

Yi Sa exclaimed in surprise.

"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"

Wu Tianzhen asked.

“I am Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie are both from the Sanxing Shuixiao family. I am here today to visit Uncle Wu and ask him some questions.”

"The Three-Surname Water Demon?"

Wu Tianzhen was shocked when she heard those words.

He clearly remembered that Zhang Hao had killed three members of the Three Surnames Water Demon Clan in the Lu Palace and obtained their most precious ancestral tablet.

As soon as I got back, this group of people showed up at my door. Could they be here to cause trouble?

"Your third uncle isn't in Hangzhou. You should go back."

Although she didn't know the two people's purpose, she was certain they were up to no good, so Wu Tianzhen immediately kicked them out.

"We really have an urgent matter to discuss with him, it concerns our lives and property. Where is Uncle Wu?"

"You can tell me anything, and I will pass it on to Third Brother."

Wu Tianzhen tried to kick people out, but Zhang Hao stopped her.

The Water Demon family is related to the so-called gods, and now that they've come to him willingly, he hopes to extract some information from them that he doesn't know.

Yi Sa looked Zhang Hao up and down, thinking that she had never heard of the Wu family having a fourth son.

"you are?"

"He is my maternal uncle."

Yi Sa understood after hearing this.

"There are too many people here, let's go inside and talk."

Zhang Hao nodded, led Yi Sa and Ding Yudie into the Wu family's old house, found a quiet courtyard, pushed open a door and went inside.

"Just say what you have to say."

"As far as I know, Uncle Wu went down to the Xisha shipwreck tomb when he was young. I am currently investigating something, and the clue is in that tomb, so I want to ask about the specific location of the Xisha shipwreck tomb."

Of course, I'm not asking for nothing; I'll offer appropriate compensation.

As Yi Sa spoke, she took out a bronze mirror: "This bronze mirror will serve as a deposit. As long as Uncle Wu agrees, I will have someone send five antiques of no less quality than this bronze mirror."

[Ding! Special item detected: Ancient bronze mirror.]

As soon as Yi Sa took out the ancient mirror, a system notification sounded in Zhang Hao's mind.

Zhang Hao glanced at the bronze mirror; it was unremarkable.

If it weren't for the system notification, I wouldn't have known that this was a special item.

The special item is exactly what I need, as it concerns the speed of my bloodline's evolution. How could I possibly miss it if I stumbled upon it?

As the story unfolds, we were already supposed to visit the Xisha shipwreck tomb, but now there's an extra benefit—it's like someone delivered a pillow when you're sleepy.

"I will pass this on to Third Brother. Leave your contact information and I will get in touch with you later."

"OK, all right."

Yi Sa left her phone number and then left with Ding Yudie.

After they left, Wu Tianzhen asked, "Uncle, they are from the Three Surnames Water Demon Clan. Aren't you afraid they're here to cause trouble?"
