【Age: 18】

[System: Level 2 All Things Fusion System (6/20). New abilities will be unlocked after leveling up.]

Zhang Hao opened the attribute panel and realized that he had unknowingly used the All Things Fusion System 16 times.

Now, not only does advancing the Qilin bloodline to Tier 1 only require fusing 4 special items, but fusing 14 more times will further increase the system level, unlocking new features.

The first upgrade unlocks the ability to detect special items; the system will alert you when a special item appears within a 20-meter radius.

I wonder what new features will be unlocked in the second upgrade.

Zhang Hao was still looking forward to it, after all, the system would only get stronger with each upgrade, and the new features that were unlocked would become more and more useful.

……

Zhang Hao fell asleep in excitement, and when he woke up again, it was already dawn.

He got out of bed and heard a commotion on the deck, so he went up to check it out.

As soon as I stepped onto the deck, I saw several of Ah Ning's men climbing onto the ship from the sea.

"Boss, we have searched the entire area within a hundred meters with more than a dozen people, but we still haven't found the shipwreck tomb."

"Keep searching. If we can't find it today, we won't be able to leave this area before the storm arrives."

"But we don't have enough oxygen to support everyone going into the sea. If we keep using it up, even if we find a shipwreck tomb, we won't be able to get in."

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning frowned, unsure of what to do.

"Let's try it, we don't need oxygen when we go into the water."

At this moment, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie stepped forward.

Both of them are water demons. Water demons can not only breathe underwater, but also use ancestral tablets to find ancient tombs underwater.

It is said that even the most deeply hidden ancient tombs can be easily found within a certain area.

Ah Ning knew their backgrounds, and now that they had taken the initiative to step forward, there was no reason for her to refuse.

"It would be wonderful if you could help. Thank you both very much."

Zhang Hao was originally planning to return to his cabin to rest, but upon hearing that Yi Sa and Ding Yudie were about to make a move, he suddenly became interested.

He also has an ancestral tablet in his hand, I don't know what its use is, it's a good opportunity to see it.

So he found a place to sit on the deck and watched how Yi Sa and Ding Yudie operated the equipment.

The two of them changed into diving suits, walked to the bow of the boat, faced the water, and began to mutter some obscure and difficult-to-understand words.

Then, the two of them simultaneously pulled out an ancestral tablet that shimmered with a strange light from their chests, and with a flick of their fingers, a cut was immediately made on it.

Fresh blood gushed from the wound, staining the ancestral tablet.

At this moment, the two began to tremble all over, then rolled their eyes and became like different people, their entire demeanor changed.

A deep, ancient voice rang out from their mouths: "The ancestral tablet guides the way!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the two ancestral tablets floated up automatically and then pulled forward, pulling the two of them into the sea.

After Yi Sa and Ding Yudie jumped into the sea, Zhang Hao came to the bow of the boat and emitted a peculiar sound wave into the water.

Once the sound waves were reflected back and received, he could see everything within a hundred meters radius, and even more than ten meters deep into the seabed, in his mind.

The location of the tomb entrance has also been discovered. It is hidden beneath a coral reef, which explains why Aning's men couldn't find the shipwreck tomb.

Zhang Hao is now very curious whether Yi Sa and Ding Yudie can really find the entrance to the shipwreck tomb under the guidance of the ancestral tablet.

They were swimming rapidly underwater at that moment.

The ancestral plaques on their chests flashed, guiding them to constantly change their direction.

The two of them are currently in a state like puppets on strings, feeling like they are being manipulated.

"It is said that each of the three families of the Water Demon has a Golden Tomb Record that contains all the ancient tombs in the world, along with all the information about the ancient tombs and maps that can be used to find them."

"As long as they perform the water ritual, the map will appear in the head of the water demon holding the ancestral tablet."

The speaker was Consultant Zhang.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie had just entered the water when Consultant Zhang arrived on the deck.

Wu Tianzhen and Fatty also went up to the deck with him.

"Brother Zhang Hao, why didn't you call me when there was a water demon looking for a tomb? They've all gone down now and I haven't seen anything!"

"Yes, Uncle, Consultant Zhang said they are very capable. There is no ancient tomb underwater that they cannot find. I also want to see for myself."

"Their goal is the same as ours: shipwreck tombs. We'll have a chance to see them eventually."

……

When Zhang Hao heard Consultant Zhang's explanation of the Golden Soup Recipe, and combined it with the performances of Yi Sa and Ding Yudie, the word "divinely bestowed" suddenly popped into his mind.

When members of the Zhang family are carrying out a task or doing something special, they may suddenly receive an irresistible command in their minds, guiding their next actions.

This memory will mysteriously disappear afterward.

This is the Zhang family's divine gift.

The water demon's use of ancestral tablets to locate tombs is quite similar to the divinely bestowed method.

However, Zhang Hao felt that their appearance was more like their bodies being temporarily occupied by the consciousness of others.

The so-called ancestral tablet should contain the consciousness of other people. When a member of the Three Surnames Water Demon Clan drips blood onto it, that consciousness can temporarily take over his body.

Zhang Hao originally thought the ancestral tablet was some extraordinary treasure, but now it seems to him that it was nothing more than a means by which the so-called god manipulated the three-surname water demon family in pursuit of immortality.

Half an hour later, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie surfaced and returned to the boat.

At this moment, both of them had regained their senses, and the ancestral tablets no longer shone, indicating that the thing occupying their bodies had become ineffective.

"Gentlemen, how is it? Have you found the shipwreck grave yet?"

When Ah Ning saw the two of them return, she immediately went up to ask them what was wrong.

Yi Sa shook her head: "No, this tomb is extremely well hidden. Even with the ancestral tablet as a guide, we couldn't find it."

“Sasa, the ancestral tablet has never failed. In my opinion, that tomb is not even in this sea area.”

Yi Sa's meaning was similar to Ding Yudie's, just expressed it more euphemistically.

Upon hearing this, Ah Ning immediately retorted, "Impossible. Uncle Wu went missing in this area of ​​the sea, and the shipwreck tomb must be nearby."

"So you mean there's something wrong with our ancestral artifact?"

Faced with Ding Yudie's question, A Ning didn't know how to answer.

She had heard about the abilities of the Three-Surname Water Demon, and Ding Yudie's words made her waver, wondering if there was really a mistake.

Just as she hesitated, Zhang Hao stepped forward: "You're right, the shipwreck tomb is in this area of ​​the sea."

“Brother Zhang Hao, I admit you are very skilled, but we Water Demons are professionals in underwater tomb searching. We have never failed in thousands of years. What makes you so sure that the shipwreck tomb is in this area?”

"Because I have found the entrance to the shipwreck tomb!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Yudie looked incredulous and exclaimed, "How is that possible? How could there be an underwater tomb in this world that we water demons can't find!"
