System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 267

"Holy crap, is Captain even human?" Seeing Zhang Hao's incredible speed, Fatty and Yi Sa were completely stunned. Their captain was simply too monstrous. Luckily, the mandrill wasn't prepared, or it would have been scared away. "Bang!" Before anyone could react, Zhang Hao kicked the mandrill away, sending it plummeting off a cliff. Even he was afraid of the force of that kick. But then he regretted it. This ghostly creature had broken through the seal on the hill, showing it possessed extraordinary abilities. If he killed it, it would definitely trigger a hidden quest and other special attributes. But now it was too late for regrets. There are all sorts of medicines in this world, but no medicine for regret. Now he could only fuse with something else. Thinking this, Zhang Hao casually issued a command: [System, fuse with this large rock.] [Ding, command received, fusion in progress!] As the system notification sounded, sand and stones flew around, a ghostly aura filled the air, and a hidden mist obscured everyone's vision. A rustling sound emanated from around Zhang Hao. Then he felt the entire boulder merge with him! A coffin, pulled by eight black iron chains, appeared before his eyes. A vertical eye was clearly visible inside the coffin, which had been staring intently upwards, but seeing the rock suddenly disappear, even the eye was bewildered and confused. "Holy crap, this is possible? I was just saying it casually, and it actually merged with this rock?" Zhang Hao was immediately stunned. The other members were completely dumbfounded. They didn't know what had happened; the rock in front of them had simply vanished. The coffin below was clearly visible, and below that was a cliff, like a ghostly underworld, with a chilling wind blowing, giving off a sinister feeling. A ghost pulling a coffin? A ghost opening a coffin? Or a ghost eating a coffin? Fortunately, Zhang Hao didn't know what they were thinking, otherwise it would have been awkward. Because he was the 'ghost' in Fatty's and the others' minds. [Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the fusion! Fusion item: The rock that suppressed the ghost coffin!] [Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining the fusion item's characteristics: 1000-pound weight, sealing ghost energy, and the hardness of an extraterrestrial meteorite.] "A ghost coffin? Could there really be a ghost inside? But this doesn't seem quite right. Ghosts shouldn't have vertical eyes, right?" "System, could you try to fuse this coffin as well?" Zhang Hao was somewhat stunned, not expecting this coffin to be a ghost coffin. Since that's the case, then fusion is even more necessary. However, the scene before him looked very dangerous, as if he had truly entered the underworld, with the next level connecting to the Netherworld or the Ghost Capital of Fengdu. It seems that Yunmeng Mountain is indeed quite dangerous. There are opportunities, but even more dangers. [Ding, instruction received, fusion in progress.] [Ding, mutated living creature detected inside the ghost coffin, fusion failed!] The system notification sounded, but then informed Zhang Hao that the fusion had failed. Zhang Hao: "..." "Whoosh!" Just then, a beam of light suddenly rose from the coffin, dazzlingly bright. This light contrasted sharply with the vertical eyes inside the coffin, giving a very comfortable and gentle feeling. Clearly, it was a treasure! The being sealed in the coffin had clearly been resurrected because of its association with this treasure. "It looks like a bead. It's probably what brought the thing in the coffin to life. This is a treasure!" The fat man's eyes lit up at the sight of the treasure, eager to try it out. Wu Tianzhen and the others also widened their eyes, filled with anticipation. However, they were all afraid of what was in the coffin and dared not approach. Even the Mountain Ghost King Meng Qianzi showed no intention of moving forward; instead, she retreated, seemingly very wary of what was in the coffin. "Huff!" Just as the Ghost King Meng Qianzi retreated, a heavy panting sound came. The mountain demon that Zhang Hao had kicked away climbed up from some cliff and began to rush towards the coffin. Zhang Hao and the others could see clearly that it wasn't guarding the creature that had awakened in the coffin, but rather the glowing treasure within. Now that the treasure was radiating light, it naturally couldn't wait to snatch it! "Thump thump thump!" Just then, a loud crash echoed from the cliff. The blood corpse, which had been scared away by Su Chen, reappeared. Its eyes, like two lanterns, were filled with bloodlust as it stared fiercely at the coffin. Then, it charged towards the coffin together with the mountain demon. "Bang bang bang!" The mountain demon and the blood corpse then began to fight. This naturally gave Fatty and the others an opportunity, so they planned to bypass the two and take advantage of the fact that most of the power inside the coffin had not yet fully awakened to retrieve the treasures. "Clatter!" But just then, it seemed as if someone was pulling on the eastern end of the chain binding the coffin, causing it to slide eastward. Then, layers of wooden planks appeared on the chain. "Could this be the Bridge of Helplessness?" "And what does this mean? Is this a trap?" Seeing this, Fatty, Wu Tianzhen, and the others exchanged glances, their hearts filled with tension. The coffin had suddenly slid away, seemingly pulled by something, but no living being could be seen at the end of the chain. This naturally brought to mind the most terrifying thing: a ghost pulling a coffin! It seemed a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost was pulling the coffin, trying to steal its contents. This suddenly appearing iron chain bridge filled with planks looked remarkably like the legendary Bridge of Helplessness. And with the surrounding scenery, it truly felt like entering the palace of Yama, the King of Hell. Even the entire Yunmeng Mountain resembled part of Yama's palace. "Captain, should we cross?" Fatty rubbed his hands together, asking Zhang Hao. In this situation, he was completely lost and could only consult Wu Hao, the captain. "Since something is luring us into a trap, let's go!" "Maybe after we cross this bridge, we'll see Luo Tianhuang!" Zhang Hao said calmly. Having fused with zombie blood and a large rock, his combat power was now incredibly strong, and he was just worried about not having any opponents to kill and fuse with. Now that a creature was actively inviting him into a trap, he would naturally comply and cross the plank bridge first. "Okay, then we'll all listen to the captain!" Fatty and the others nodded immediately. Wu Tianzhen's eyes shone brightly, thinking his uncle was incredibly decisive. This iron bridge was clearly the Bridge of Helplessness, and there were obviously ghosts pulling coffins ahead, but Uncle Zhang showed absolutely no fear. His courage was incredible. Not only Wu Tianzhen, but even Zhang Qilin secretly gave Zhang Hao a thumbs up. Making Zhang Hao the captain was absolutely the right choice. Not only was he ruthless, but he was also calm and decisive in the face of adversity. No one was more suitable to be captain than Zhang Hao, not even himself. "Let's go!" Just as Zhang Qilin thought this, Zhang Hao was the first to step onto the iron bridge.
