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

Before Zhang Qilin finished speaking, he turned around and urged everyone to run back, but Zhang Hao stood still.

If he doesn't move, the others behind him can't move either.

After Zhang Qilin's reminder, the others also sensed that the stone walls on both sides were moving towards the center like pressure plates, and the speed was getting faster and faster.

At this rate, it won't be long before anyone walking between the two stone slabs is crushed into a pulp.

"Brother Zhang Hao, what's going on? Why aren't we retreating?"

"Yes, Uncle, there's no end in sight, so turning back is the safest option."

"Boss, what do you mean by not letting us run back?"

Zhang Hao knew that the mechanism had already been activated once they entered the gate of life, and the entrance had long been blocked. Going back now would only be a waste of time.

He pointed to the ceiling: "The cliff is only about ten meters high, we can escape upwards!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been enlightened.

The fat man slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "That's right! Why not try a different approach? Only the two stone walls on the left and right have moved. We can just escape to a place outside the stone walls. Brother Zhang Hao is awesome!"

"I knew my uncle was the best! How come we didn't think of this method!"

"The boss is really amazing, but the stone walls on both sides are so smooth that there's nowhere to put our weight on. How are we going to climb up?"

As soon as Ding Yudie spoke, everyone frowned again.

At this moment, Zhang Qilin stepped forward: "I'll give it a try."

As soon as Zhang Qilin finished speaking, he suddenly exerted his strength and leaped five or six meters into the air.

"My God, is he even human? That jump was higher than two stories high!"

"He's just like those ancient people who could perform qinggong (lightness skill) in ancient times; they're the ones who could fly over rooftops and scale walls!"

"This guy is amazing! If he can jump onto the rock face, we'll all be saved!"

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie were all amazed by Zhang Qilin's skills.

Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Zhang Qilin pushed off the left side of the stone wall with his foot, attempting to use the momentum to propel himself upwards a second time.

As a result, his foot slipped as soon as it touched the stone wall, losing most of the force.

He fell down as well, failing to jump to the top of the stone wall as he had hoped.

When Zhang Qilin wanted to try again, Zhang Hao stopped him, saying, "It's obvious that the people who built the mechanism had already thought of this. They deliberately polished the stone walls on both sides to be exceptionally smooth. Unless you jump to the top in one go, it's impossible to get any leverage."

Zhang Qilin nodded silently, agreeing with what Zhang Hao said.

The fat man frowned even more deeply upon seeing this.

"Brother Zhang Hao, if this road is also blocked, what should we do? Are we just going to wait here to die?"

"Boss, I don't want to become a meat pie, that's such a gruesome death."

"Uncle, I know you must have a way, right!"

……

Zhang Hao smiled. Of course, he had a way of remaining calm even when the other side was in such danger.

Right now, there's no other way but to reveal our flight capabilities.

The two stone walls were more than ten meters high and smooth, so no one else could climb them except him.

I doubt that the people who built the mechanism knew that someone could fly.

If he knew, he would definitely put a lid on top.

Zhang Hao imitated Zhang Qilin and jumped upwards.

When others saw Zhang Hao's actions, they could no longer hide their disappointment.

"Brother Zhang Hao also wanted to jump up."

"But the guy just tried, and there's no way he can jump that high."

"Yes, my uncle is good, but he's only a little better than my brother. My brother can jump five or six meters high, while my uncle can only jump seven or eight meters at most."

Before Wu Tianzhen could finish speaking, she saw that Zhang Hao had jumped higher than Zhang Qilin had jumped earlier.

Moreover, that height continues to be updated over time.

Zhang Hao was like someone riding an elevator, constantly rising in altitude.

7 meters, 8 meters, 9 meters...

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Zhang Hao jumped to a height of more than ten meters and landed steadily on top of the stone wall.

Without a comparison, people might not have a good grasp of this height.

But compared to Zhang Qilin's jump, it immediately becomes clear how difficult it is for someone to jump to that height.

Zhang Qilin, as the pinnacle of combat power in the world of tomb raiding, possesses exceptional skills.

Even he could only jump five or six meters high at a time, while Zhang Hao could jump more than ten meters high with a single burst of strength.

And judging from his relaxed demeanor, even if the stone wall were higher, it wouldn't be a problem for him.

"I never expected Brother Zhang Hao to be so amazing!"

"Yes, my uncle always surprises us with his skills, refreshing my understanding of his abilities time and time again."

"I used to think that we water demons were invincible, but after meeting the boss, I realized what it means to have mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people!"

"Who is he? I think Zhang Hao is the legendary immortal. Otherwise, what reason could explain his extraordinary abilities?"

……

While everyone was still in shock, a climbing rope was lowered from above.

"Everyone, hold on tight to the climbing ropes, I'm going to pull you up."

"okay!"

The crowd below, hearing Zhang Hao's call, knew they were saved and immediately felt much more relaxed.

Yi Sa grabbed the climbing rope and swung it twice to signal to Zhang Hao that he was ready.

At this moment, it was discovered that Zhang Hao did not exert any force to pull her up. Instead, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Zhang Qilin also gathered together and reached out to grab the climbing rope.

The fat man shouted at Ding Yudie, "Brother Ding, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and grab the rope!"

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie were both taken aback upon hearing this.

There are 5 people in total. Assuming each person weighs 140 pounds, that's a total weight of 710 pounds. Plus, the obese person's weight is more than twice that of an average person.

That means the five of them weighed over 800 jin (400 catties), and each of them was also carrying equipment on their backs, which weighed no less than 20 jin (10 catties).

The combined weight of all the people exceeded 1000 jin (approximately 500 catties).

Zhang Hao needed to have a strength of at least 1000 jin (500 catties) to pull everyone up at once.

This attack terrified both Yi Sa and Ding Yudie.

"Brother Zhang Hao doesn't look very strong. Can he really pull us all up in one go?"

"Boss, you don't have as many muscles as I do, are you really that strong?"

"Don't waste time, hurry up."

The human limit of strength is 1 ton, so this force of about 1000 jin is simply not enough.

Even this shocked Yi Sa and Ding Yudie to this extent.

If they knew they had a strength of 30 tons, I wonder how terrified they would be.

At Zhang Hao's urging, the two of them gripped the climbing rope with some skepticism.

Just then, a tremendous force suddenly came from above, lifting the five of them up with a "whoosh".

The fact that five people could be kicked more than ten meters high in one go is already astonishing.

As it turned out, Yi Sa and Ding Yudie found that Zhang Hao did it with ease, without even blushing or panting, as if it were easier for him than killing a mosquito.

They stared at Zhang Hao with expressions of utter disbelief: "You, are you even human?!"
