NFBE Chapter 490
Chapter 490
"Yes, this was really close. We almost lost our lives in there."
Yi Sa, Xie Xiaohua, and Huo Xiuxiu huddled together, their eyes still showing lingering fear.
Their faces were etched with exhaustion, but even more so with gratitude for being alive.
"We're finally safe. I can't believe we made it out alive."
Zhang Qilin stood quietly to the side, his breathing steady, his face expressionless, but his eyes revealed a hint of relaxation.
He silently watched the crowd, feeling relieved that everyone was safe.
Standing in the middle of the crowd, Zhang Hao looked at everything before him, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
This experience was extremely dangerous. If he hadn't taken away the Qilin's lower limbs in time, none of them would have been able to escape.
He knew that this was just the beginning, and many more challenges awaited them in the future.
But at this moment, he was also relieved that everyone was safe.
"Alright, it's good that everyone is alright. We're incredibly lucky to have survived this ordeal."
Zhang Hao said, his voice tinged with weariness, but more so with determination.
After resting for a while, everyone began to pack their belongings, preparing to leave this place.
After resting briefly at the foot of the mountain, the group began to head out of the Ailao Mountains.
It was already afternoon, the sun was still blazing, and a sultry atmosphere permeated the mountains and forests.
They walked along the winding mountain path, surrounded by dense forests, with the occasional bird call breaking the silence of the woods.
However, the terrain of the Ailao Mountains is complex, and the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to travel.
They walked for a long time, but found that the sky was getting darker and there was still no sign of them leaving the Ailao Mountains.
"How can the Ailao Mountains be so vast? We've been walking for so long, and we still haven't made it out."
The fat man complained as he walked, his face full of exhaustion and his steps becoming heavy.
Wu Tianzhen glanced at the sky, feeling somewhat worried.
"It seems we're not going to make it out today. If we keep going, it will be even more dangerous in these mountains after dark."
Everyone who heard this thought it made sense.
So they began looking for a place to rest.
After walking for a while, they finally found a cave at the foot of the mountain.
"This is it. Let's rest here tonight."
Zhang Hao said this, and everyone nodded in agreement.
They entered the cave, which was dark and damp, with a faint musty smell.
Zhang Hao took out a flashlight and illuminated the cave.
The cave was not large, but it was big enough to accommodate the group of them.
"Everyone, put your things down and take a break."
Zhang Hao said, and everyone put down their backpacks and found a place to sit down.
Then Fatty, Ding Yudie, and Xie Xiaohua went out to collect firewood. The temperature in the mountains is high during the day, but it is still very cold at night. It would be difficult to spend the night without fire.
After he gathered the firewood and lit it, everyone gathered around the fire to warm themselves and eat their dry rations.
After leaving the watchmen behind, the others fell asleep by the fire.
When it was Zhang Hao's turn to keep watch, he came to the outside of the cave, released the upper limb of the Qilin from his storage space, touched it, and then gave the order:
"System, fuse with the Qilin's body!"
[Ding, congratulations host, 118th fusion completed. Fusion item: Qilin torso.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the rare item, the Qilin Torso. You have gained the item trait: Ancestral Reversion (after fusing with a complete Qilin, the Qilin bloodline reverts to the Primordial Qilin bloodline). Progress increased by 20%, current progress is 60%.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for fusing a rare item. Your Qilin bloodline evolution progress has increased by 100.]
After the Qilin torso was fused, the ancestral reversion progress increased by another 20%, reaching 60%. It only needs to increase by another 40% to successfully revert to the ancestral Qilin bloodline.
Just then, the system notification sounded in Zhang Hao's mind again.
[Ding! The fusion with the Qilin has been successful. The Qilin's head is located at Wuxia Coffin Mountain. Please go there to retrieve it for fusion. You will then obtain a complete Qilin body, and your bloodline will be completely restored to the ancestral Qilin bloodline.]
