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

"Is this the power of over two hundred tons of force?!"

Zhang Hao was shocked by the immense power he possessed.

The tree he smashed in front of him was so large that it would take three or four people holding hands to encircle it. Its diameter was at least one meter, and its height was forty or fifty meters.

Such a large tree might not break even if hit by a fully loaded truck.

But just now, with just one punch, I managed to shatter a tree trunk three or four meters long.

Even a powerful monster like the Drought Demon would have its head blown apart by such a punch.

"Boom!"

After the trunk was smashed, it took several seconds for the entire tree to fall, crushing a large area of ​​nearby jungle.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and the others hurriedly hid while carrying the python's corpse.

"Brother Zhang Hao, you're too monstrous! Is this power even humanly possible?!"

“Uncle, it seems like you’ve gotten stronger. The tree at the old house is much smaller than this one, and you only managed to break it. But you managed to smash this huge tree trunk to pieces with one punch.”

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie were still stunned and speechless; they couldn't find any words to describe Zhang Hao's power.

Because in their view, no words could adequately describe Zhang Hao's strength.

"What brings you guys here?"

Zhang Hao asked Wu Tianzhen and the others.

“We killed a python, enough to eat for several days, so we thought we’d come and find you to go back to the cabin together. But we never expected to witness such an earth-shattering scene.”

Zhang Hao smiled. Fortunately, the others hadn't seen what he looked like when he fused with the item, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.

As for being strong, that's easy to explain; you can just make up any excuse.

"What earth-shattering event? That big tree was rotten in the middle and was about to fall."

"So that's how it is, but even so, Brother Zhang Hao is still the strongest person we've ever met!"

"Alright, didn't we say we were going back to eat python? Let's hurry up and go back, or it won't be fresh."

Zhang Hao quickly changed the subject and urged him on.

Yi Sa nodded in agreement: "That's right, we need to go back and deal with the python as soon as possible."

As she spoke, she lifted the python and led the way.

Zhang Hao quickly walked a few steps to catch up and offered a helping hand. The others immediately felt their hands become lighter, and their burdens were lifted considerably.

Back at the cabin, Yi Sa prepared a whole snake feast for everyone, including fried snake skin, spicy snake meat, and fried snake bones...

After a few days of this, on the fourth day, when everyone had rested enough, Yi Sa led the group to the Khmer King's Tomb.

……

Southeast Asian tropical rainforests of Cambodia.

As soon as Zhang Hao and his group entered the rainforest, a torrential downpour began.

Raindrops the size of beans poured down from the sky, and in no time the surrounding water was already above everyone's knees.

Suddenly, he sensed something rapidly gathering in their direction from the water.

"Everyone slow down, it looks like something is coming."

No sooner had Zhang Hao finished speaking than swarms of leeches emerged from the water.

"These are rainforest leeches. Once they're attached, they won't let go until they're full of blood."

As Yi Sa spoke, she took out some powder from her backpack and sprinkled it around.

Sure enough, the leeches scattered and fled immediately upon encountering the powder.

Zhang Hao originally thought Yi Sa would continue on her way, but she led everyone back along the original route.

"what happened?"

"There is a legend in Cambodia that when it rains heavily, evil things come out from the depths of the rainforest, killing all the creatures they see and leaving behind plagues. For safety's sake, we should wait for the rain to stop before continuing our journey."

"who is it!"

Zhang Hao was about to turn back when he suddenly noticed movement in the bushes not far away.

He casually scooped a leech out of the rainwater and tossed it over.

There was a "snap" sound and then silence.

Yi Sa rushed over to check the situation and saw her carrying a corpse out of the bushes.

The corpse had a gruesome bloody hole in its forehead, with remnants of leech remains at the entrance.

Yi Sa glanced at Zhang Hao with a ghost-like expression and couldn't help but shudder.

Even from a distance of more than ten meters, Zhang Hao actually killed the man with a leech, leaving a bloody hole in his forehead. It was absolutely terrifying.

Yi Sa carried the body to Zhang Hao and pointed at it, saying, "It's a member of the Ding family."

Zhang Hao glanced at Ding Yudie, waiting for an explanation.

"Boss, don't misunderstand. Our Ding family isn't a monolithic entity. Don't let my identity as a Water Demon fool you; my status in the family is far lower than that old codger Ding Changsheng. This person must have been sent by him to spy on me."

"Hmm, why would I be spying on you?"

“SaSa and I are investigating the truth behind the water demon mutation incident, but Ding Changsheng is against it. His people probably want to stop us from continuing the investigation.”

Zhang Hao nodded. Each water demon has a special ability that can bring great benefits to its respective family.

As beneficiaries of the system, it's understandable that some family members might obstruct the investigation into the truth.

After all, no one wants to lose the benefits they've already gained.

After figuring out what had happened, the group abandoned the body and returned the way they came, waiting for the rain to stop before continuing their journey.

No sooner had Zhang Hao and his group left than something resembling tentacles swam out from the depths of the rainforest, grabbed the corpses of the Ding family members, and dragged them into the jungle.

Because it started raining as soon as they entered the rainforest, Zhang Hao and his group left the rainforest not long after they turned back.

After waiting for about an hour, the rain stopped, and they went back into the rainforest.

The fat man suddenly said, "Has everyone noticed? The body from before is gone!"

"It must have been washed away by the rain, or it must have been carried away by a wild animal."

"Hmm, maybe I'm overthinking it."

The fat man glanced at the ground, feeling that the disappearance of the corpse was related to the rumor Yi Sa had mentioned—that a monster from deep in the rainforest had dragged the corpse away.

Yi Sa, holding a map, led Zhang Hao and the others through the rainforest. Two hours later, she stopped under a towering tree.

This is a huge tree whose top cannot be seen at a glance, with an extremely wide canopy.

The group walked from the edge of the tree canopy to the trunk for more than ten minutes.

The tree trunk was even thicker, with a diameter of at least five or six meters. There was a hole in the middle, which Yi Sa crawled into.

Zhang Hao and the others followed Yi Sa into the cave.

After passing through a narrow passage, you enter a cave.

The cave is surrounded by dilapidated stone walls, which are carved with exquisite murals.

"This is it! The entrance to the Khmer royal tombs is nearby!"

Yi Sa was excited when she saw the mural.

Wu Tianzhen glanced at the murals around her and asked in confusion, "The food chain in the murals is too strange. Giant pythons eat people, but what do giant pythons eat?"

Just then, the weeds growing in the cave began to shake violently.

It seemed as if some enormous creature was approaching them.
