System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 513

Zhang Hao's gaze swept over everyone, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

He discovered that even Zhang Qilin, who possessed Qilin blood, was affected by this eerie black smoke, becoming like a zombie with empty eyes and mechanical movements.

Zhang Hao knew that a solution had to be found as soon as possible, or everyone would be doomed.

Without a second thought, he quickly drew the dagger he carried with him and slashed his own finger without hesitation.

Crimson blood gushed out instantly, appearing particularly striking in the dark and cold cave.

Zhang Hao brought his fingers to everyone's mouths, squeezed out blood, and smeared it on the corners of their mouths.

Time seemed to stand still, and every second seemed to be so long.

Zhang Hao stared intently at the crowd, his heart filled with anxiety and anticipation.

Finally, a glimmer of clarity appeared in Wu Tianzhen's eyes, his gaze gradually regained its former liveliness, and his consciousness slowly returned.

Immediately afterwards, Fatty, Xie Xiaohua, and the others also woke up from the illusion. Fear and confusion still lingered on their faces, but more than anything, they were relieved to have survived.

As everyone slowly came to their senses, they realized that the terrifying experience they had just had was nothing but an illusion, and the culprit behind it all was the eerie black smoke.

They looked at each other with lingering fear, panting heavily, as if they could still feel the bone-chilling cold.

"What... exactly happened just now?"

The fat man asked, still shaken, his voice trembling slightly.

Wu Tianzhen shook her head, her face as pale as paper:

"I don't know either. I only remember that after that black smoke entered my body, I lost consciousness and felt like I was being controlled by something."

Xie Xiaohua also frowned and recalled:

"I felt like I was seeing something terrible. Those images kept flashing through my mind, and I couldn't get rid of them."

Everyone nodded in agreement, indicating that they had similar experiences.

Only then did they realize that Zhang Hao's blood had saved everyone.

They looked at Zhang Hao gratefully, about to express their thanks, when they suddenly noticed that Zhang Hao's gaze was fixed on a certain spot on the cave ceiling, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Following Zhang Hao's gaze, everyone saw a fiery red Qilin head floating in mid-air, the same one they had seen earlier.

However, this Qilin head was now emitting an eerie light, as if telling an unknown secret.

"That...that's a Qilin's head?"

The fat man opened his mouth wide in surprise, his eyes widening in astonishment.

Wu Tianzhen also looked puzzled:

"How did it suddenly appear here? And why is it hovering in the air? That's so strange!"

Just as everyone was puzzled, the Qilin head suddenly disappeared into thin air, as if it had never appeared at all.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden turn of events. They looked at each other, unsure of what to say.

“This…what on earth is going on?

How could the Qilin's head have disappeared?

Yi Sa asked in alarm, her voice trembling slightly.

Just as everyone was wondering, Zhang Hao smiled slightly, and the Qilin head was lying quietly in his storage space, emitting a faint light.

He didn't explain, letting others guess.

However, before everyone could recover from the shock of the disappearance of the Qilin's head, the entire cave suddenly began to shake violently, as if it were being shaken by an invisible giant hand.

Rocks began to fall from the cave ceiling, hitting the ground with dull thuds and raising a cloud of dust.

"Oh no, the cave is about to collapse!"

Zhang Hao's expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"Everyone, find the exit quickly and get out of here!"

Everyone snapped back to their senses, a strong will to survive welling up within them.

Led by Zhang Hao, they quickly ran deeper into the cave, trying to find a safe exit.

However, the paths inside the cave were intricate and confusing, and they quickly lost their way.

Stones were constantly falling from the surrounding walls, and cracks were appearing in the ground beneath our feet, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Every tremor was terrifying, as if the shadow of death could descend at any moment.

"This way!"

With his keen intuition, Zhang Hao led the group to grope their way forward in the darkness.

They avoided dangerous traps and falling boulders as they struggled through the narrow passage.

Zhang Hao followed closely behind Zhang Hao, his eyes firm and calm, constantly paying attention to the surrounding movements.

Suddenly, a huge rock fell from the cave ceiling, crashing straight down on Huo Xiuxiu.

"careful!"

Zhang Hao reacted quickly, lunging at Huo Xiuxiu and shielding her with his body.

With a loud crash, the rock slammed heavily onto Zhang Hao's back. He didn't even groan; his body, as hard as diamond, was completely unaffected. He continued to hold Huo Xiuxiu tightly, refusing to let go.

"Zhang Hao, how are you?"

Huo Xiuxiu looked at Zhang Hao in horror, her eyes filled with worry and gratitude.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly:

"I'm fine, don't worry."

As he spoke, he slowly stood up.

The group continued their frantic run through the cave, their breathing rapid and their clothes soaked with sweat.

After running for an unknown amount of time, a faint ray of light finally appeared ahead.

"It's the exit! We've found the exit!"

The fat man shouted excitedly, as if he had seen a glimmer of hope for survival.

Everyone immediately perked up and quickened their pace.

However, just as they were about to reach the exit, a huge rock suddenly fell from the cave ceiling, blocking their way.

"What do we do? We're blocked!"

Yi Sa shouted anxiously, her face full of despair.

Zhang Hao frowned. He pushed the rock hard, but found that it didn't budge.

At this moment, the tremors in the cave became more and more intense, and time was of the essence, leaving them no room for hesitation.

"Everyone, scatter! I'm going to push it away!"

Zhang Hao shouted loudly.

The crowd dispersed, and Zhang Hao pushed the rock with all his might.

He gritted his teeth and used all his strength, sweat dripping from his forehead, but the rock remained completely still.

"No, this can't go on. We need to think of another way."

Wu Tianzhen said.

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, Zhang Hao suddenly exerted his strength.

With a loud "boom," Zhang Hao actually pushed the rock.

Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed and rushed forward to help, finally managing to push a crack open in the rock.

"Quickly, get out of here!"

Zhang Hao shouted loudly.

One by one, everyone squeezed out through the gap and finally escaped the cave that was about to collapse.

As soon as they came out, a loud rumbling sound came from behind them.

Looking back, the entire cave collapsed in a cloud of dust, raising a cloud of dirt.

Everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their hearts filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

"We finally escaped. It was so hard."

The fat man lay on the ground, speaking weakly.

"Yes, this was a real narrow escape from death."

Wu Tianzhen wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with lingering fear.

Looking at the collapsed cave, everyone was filled with mixed emotions.

During their journey to the Immortal Village, they encountered countless hardships and dangers, including various bizarre events and terrifying monsters. However, they never gave up and eventually managed to escape this dangerous place.

"Alright, let's find a safe place to rest first, and then we'll figure out how to get back."

Zhang Hao stood up, dusted himself off, and said...

After saying that, he left alone and found a secluded place to prepare to fuse with the Qilin's head.
