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

[Ding! Congratulations, host, on successfully exploring the shipwreck tomb. You are rewarded with 8 opportunities for the Fusion of All Things. Destroying a wisp of Wang Canghai's consciousness grants you 1 fusion opportunity. Taming 94 Black Flying Sprites grants you 2 fusion opportunities, for a total of 11 fusion opportunities.]

Zhang Hao was overjoyed to hear the system notification that he had been rewarded with 11 fusion opportunities; now he finally had plenty of fusion attempts.

If all the fusion attempts are used up, the Everything Fusion System can be upgraded to unlock new features.

To his surprise, not only could killing enemies in the ancient tomb grant extra fusion attempts, but taming monsters also did.

Now that he has fused with the Snake Mother's inner core, he can control snakes. In the future, if he encounters any snakes in the ancient tomb, he can subdue them all, which will allow him to increase the number of fusion attempts.

As the ancient tombs you explore become increasingly difficult, the rewards for fusion attempts will only increase.

Then there will be more room for fusion.

Therefore, the most urgent task is to prepare as many special items as possible for fusion.

Only special items can allow the Qilin bloodline to evolve.

The shipwreck tomb is still collapsing, and each collapse brings in more seawater.

As soon as Zhang Hao landed on the sea, he felt a powerful suction force pulling him into the cave.

He looked around and spotted a reef not far away, so he turned around and swam over to it.

Seeing this, the others followed suit.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief once they had all climbed onto the reef.

"call……"

The fat man let out a long breath and collapsed onto the rocks: "Thanks to Brother Zhang Hao, otherwise we wouldn't have had time to escape."

"It's my uncle who's really capable. If it were anyone else, we'd probably be buried with Wang Canghai."

"Boss is amazing. With you around, even the most dangerous ancient tombs become safe."

Ding Yudie laughed from the side.

At this moment, Yi Sa said to Zhang Hao, "We didn't find any useful information at the shipwreck tomb. I'm going to go to another ancient tomb that the clues pointed to, the Khmer King's Tomb in the Southeast Asian subtropical rainforest."

The other five antiques I promised to pay you are also in a manor in Southeast Asia.

If you're not in a hurry, I'll deliver it to the Wu family's old house when I get back from there.

"The tomb of the Khmer kings?"

As far as Zhang Hao knew, the Khmer Empire was an ancient kingdom that existed thousands of years ago. It possessed numerous war elephants and was once very powerful, enslaving many surrounding small countries.

There should be many special items in the royal tombs of such an ancient country.

Since we're safe and sound after leaving the shipwreck tomb, we might as well go along and take a look. We might find some special items, and exploring the tomb will also give us more fusion attempts.

"No need to send it to the Wu family's old residence, I'll go with you to the South East Asia estate to get it."

Yi Sa was taken aback. The Wu family had an abundance of ordinary antiques, so why was Zhang Hao so eager to get the remaining ones?

She couldn't understand it at all until Zhang Hao spoke again and she finally realized what was going on.

Taking the antiques was just a side job; the main purpose was to go into the tomb.

"I'm also interested in the Khmer royal tombs. I wonder if we'll have a chance to go inside and take a look together?"

"Brother Zhang Hao, what did you say?"

Yi Sa couldn't believe her ears.

"Actually, the Khmer King's Tomb is underwater deep in the rainforest, which is very dangerous. With the abilities of Jade Butterfly and me, it is very likely that we would never come out after going in. In fact, I wanted to ask you for help, but your abilities are too great, and we were afraid that we could not afford to ask you, so we did not ask."

"Of course you're welcome to come!"

“No, if Brother Zhang Hao comes along, I’m willing to give you five more antiques, and you can choose any one from the treasure trove of our Yi family manor.”

When Yi Sa learned that Zhang Hao wanted to go to the Khmer King's Tomb with her, she was so excited that she couldn't speak coherently.

"Boss, you're so great! With your help, we're sure we can find the clues smoothly."

Ding Yudie was equally excited, and jumped up from the ground, eager to set off immediately.

"Uncle, you can't leave me behind when you go to the Khmer King's Tomb."

"Brother Zhang Hao, I'm here for you too."

Yi Sa was overjoyed to see that everyone wanted to go: "That's great! Everyone here has special skills. If you're willing to go together, you can choose any antique from my Yi family manor."

"That's great! Don't go back on your word later, though. My antique shop's prized possessions are in your Yi family's vault!"

"Hey buddy, wanna come along?"

Wu Tianzhen asked for a long time but no one responded, so he immediately stood up and looked around.

"Where's the guy? He just came up here with us, how did he disappear?"

"Naive. You'll get used to it. He always disappears and reappears suddenly like that."

That being said, Zhang Hao was also very curious about how Zhang Qilin had managed to achieve this level.

We are now at sea, on a vast ocean, with only that fishing boat moored in the distance.

Where could Zhang Qilin possibly disappear to?

While everyone was resting on the rocks, Aning fired a signal flare to signal the fishing boat to come and dock.

The group then returned to Nanhai Island by fishing boat.

When boarding the ship, Zhang Hao also brought the 95 Black Flying Birds he had captured.

These monsters are swift and adept at hiding; even with such a large number, they have not been discovered by others.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie traveled directly from the South China Sea islands to Southeast Asia by plane.

After getting off the plane, we transferred to an off-road vehicle.

The roads here are very difficult to navigate, and only off-road vehicles can barely pass.

After a bumpy three or four-hour drive, the off-road vehicle stopped by a lake deep in the mountains.

There is a three-story wooden building in the middle of the lake.

"Yi Sa, the house in the middle of the lake, could it be your Yi family's manor?"

The fat man thought to himself, "How dare they call this a manor? What kind of treasure trove could this place possibly have? It seems I've been fooled."

"Yes, this is it."

Yi Sa seemed to see through the fat man's thoughts and explained, "The treasure vault is also here, but it's underwater. No one can enter without my Yi family's ancestral tablet."

"I see. When will you take us into the treasure vault to choose some treasures?"

"Everyone, take a break and have some water, then I'll take you down."

The fat man nodded and followed the group from the lakeside onto a small boat to the wooden house in the middle of the lake.

The cabin was simply furnished with only a few basic pieces of furniture and nothing else.

As soon as Yi Sa returned to the cabin, a cormorant rushed over and pounced on her.

"Hey, you little devil, stop messing around."

The cormorant seemed to understand human speech, rubbing its head against Yi Sa and acting very affectionately.

"This is?"

Wu Tianzhen asked curiously.

"It's called Black Ghost, and it's my partner. When I use Flying Fish Sprint in the water, it saves me most of my energy."

"So that's it."

……

An hour later, everyone had rested enough.

Yi Sa somehow got hold of two sets of diving equipment, giving one set to Wu Tianzhen and the other to Fatty.

"Let's get ready and go into the water to open the Yi family's treasure vault."

"it is good."

Wu Tianzhen and Fatty immediately changed into their new gear as soon as they received it.

After everything was ready, Yi Sa stood on the balcony of the wooden house, muttering something to herself.

After she finished reading, she wiped her finger on the ancestral tablet, and a drop of blood was instantly absorbed.

Then the ancestral tablet flashed with an eerie blue light.

"Alright, now go down and stick close to me!"

Yi Sa gave a warning and then jumped into the lake.

Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Ding Yudie followed closely behind.

As soon as he entered the lake, Zhang Hao used sound waves to locate and probe the surroundings.

To his surprise, there was no treasure trove or anything like that within a hundred meters.

Yi Sa would never lie to him; the treasure vault is indeed in this vicinity. But where could it be?

Zhang Hao followed behind Yi Sa and noticed that her eyes were closed, and she seemed to be being controlled and guided forward by something like a puppet.

As I was swimming, the environment suddenly changed, and an ancient underwater building appeared before me.

What's going on? It was clearly not there just now, how did a two-story ancient building suddenly appear?

Zhang Hao was very puzzled. Yi Sa was still not awake, so he turned around and asked Ding Yudie behind him, "What's going on? How did a building suddenly appear underwater?"
