Chapter 284
[Ding! Rare item, Meatball, detected.]
"Ok?"
As soon as Zhang Hao entered the Sevenfold Mountain, a system notification sounded in his mind.
He was familiar with the name Flesh-like Thing. Decades ago, some descendants of tomb raiders went to the Insect Valley in southern Yunnan to search for the Muchen Pearl. When they came out, they saw a human-shaped Flesh-like Thing in the Insect Valley.
It is said that the fleshy creature has existed in the Insect Valley for countless years and is almost a spirit.
Its features are incredibly lifelike; apart from its green skin, it is indistinguishable from a woman.
Later, they used the flesh to cure the corpse poison, and their physical condition improved, making them much healthier than before.
I never expected that the ancestor of the Mountain Spirit also had such a thing stored in the Ninefold Mountain.
Zhang Hao entered the interior space of the mountain rock and found that a green, human-shaped fruit was indeed hanging from the end of a bronze chain suspended in the middle.
As soon as he approached, a faint, refreshing plant fragrance wafted towards him.
Zhang Hao reached out and touched it. He didn't know how many years this fleshy plant had been hanging there; it was already completely dried up.
He abandoned his plan to take a bite and instead gave the system a direct order.
"Merged flesh."
[Ding, command received. Initiating fusion now.]
As the system notification sounded, the fleshy creature in Zhang Hao's hand disappeared, transforming into a cloud of grass-green liquid that enveloped Zhang Hao's entire body.
The tiny molecules that make up the liquid seem to have a life of their own, desperately trying to penetrate his body.
Once the body has absorbed all the liquid, the system notification sounded again.
[Ding, congratulations host, 83rd fusion complete. Fusion item: Flesh Gourd.] 47 remaining.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the Flesh Vessel. You have gained the item trait: Constitution improved by 100%.]
The moment the system notification sound ended, Zhang Hao felt an unprecedented sense of comfort and ease throughout his body.
Previously, impurities in the body were expelled, resulting in a significant improvement in overall health.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the rare item Flesh and Jade. Qilin bloodline evolution progress +10.]
By fusing rare items, the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline has increased once again. Zhang Hao opened the attribute panel to check.
The evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline is more than halfway complete, reaching 62/120. Only 58 more evolution progress points are needed to upgrade to Tier 5, and all attributes will double again.
The upgrade progress of the All Things Fusion System has reached 30/50. It only requires 50 experience points and the fusion of 5 rare items to upgrade.
This trip to Luotianhuang and into the Ninefold Mountain has been very rewarding.
Zhang Hao fused very quickly, completing the fusion before the others entered the Sevenfold Mountain. He didn't wait for the others to enter and directly broke open the Eightfold Mountain to enter it.
After entering the Sevenfold Mountain, Meng Qianzi and the others saw a bronze chain left in the very center, and a huge crack on the opposite side.
By this time, they were already numb; they wouldn't be surprised no matter how outrageous Zhang Hao's actions were.
Meng Qianzi, Wu Tianzhen, and the others entered Yaeyama through the crack and saw Zhang Hao holding a large piece of black leather.
"Uncle, what's that in your hand?"
Wu Tianzhen asked curiously.
"Here, take a look at it. It should be a map."
Zhang Hao handed the leather in his hand directly to Wu Tianzhen.
As expected, no rare items appeared inside Yaeyama.
When Zhang Hao came in, all he saw was a black animal hide hanging in the middle.
He removed the animal hides from the bronze chain and saw that there were many animal hides and some symbols on them.
"Okay, Uncle."
Wu Tianzhen took the animal hide and spread it out on the ground to study it.
"The Ancestor of Ten Thousand Mountains, this is a map of the Kunlun Mountains. Inside the Kunlun Mountains are many narrow, winding paths, like a maze. Passing through the maze will lead you to an altar. Beneath the altar dwells a colossal monster, and the places it invades have lost all life..."
"Isn't that the god from Kunlun Mountain?!"
Meng Qianzi exclaimed in surprise.
"Yes, the god that appeared in the knotted record before."
The fat man chimed in.
Zhang Hao nodded. This map was actually used to record the location of the gods.
But knowing his location now is useless; we can't deal with him at all.
The Kunlun Mountains alone cover an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. In addition, in recent years, the gods have eroded other mountain ranges through underground dragon veins, and have even reached Southeast Asia.
With his current strength, he simply doesn't know where to begin with such a vast area.
Unless a way to kill God can be found.
Although the knotted rope records that the fusion of the mountain gall and the water spirit can restrain the god and limit his expansion, it cannot kill him.
We must not reveal ourselves to the god until we find a way to kill him, otherwise it will bring disaster to the entire Zhang family and the Wu family.
Therefore, the God of Slaughter needs to plan carefully and improve his strength to a higher level.
Zhang Hao took the animal hide back from Wu Tianzhen, rolled it up, stuffed it into his backpack, and then put it into his storage space.
He then prepared to open the ninth mountain.
Of the nine layers of Luotianhuang Mountain where the mountain spirit hid his treasure, only the last layer remains.
Everyone in the team looked serious.
"Whether we can find the gentian depends on this!"
"As the sacred object of the mountain spirit, the mountain gall must be inside the Ninefold Mountain!"
Yi Sa and Ding Yudie both clenched their fists: "It must be inside!"
Zhang Hao patted them on the shoulders: "Don't worry, even if we can't find the mountain gall, we'll find other ways."
After he finished speaking, he went to the front of the stone wall, pressed his body against it, closed his eyes, carefully felt the breath of the mountain, and then adjusted his breathing to the same frequency as the mountain's breathing.
"Ok?"
Zhang Hao was able to split open the first few mountains smoothly, almost instantly, so why did he not react for a long time when he got to the ninth mountain?
The relaxed mood of everyone suddenly turned tense.
"Miss, Zhang Hao won't fail, will he?"
Meng Qianzi shook her head. She wasn't sure either, since even though she was the Mountain Ghost King, she could only split open three layers of mountains.
She doesn't have the ability to judge whether Zhang Hao can split open the Ninefold Mountain.
Yi Sa and Ding Yudie also became nervous.
Only the last layer of the Ninefold Mountain has not been opened up so far, and the mountain gall they need is very likely inside the Ninefold Mountain.
If Zhang Hao really can't cut through the Ninefold Mountain, then the truth about the water demon's mutation will never be revealed, which means he will die in a very short time.
"Don't worry, my uncle is so skilled, he can definitely do it. Don't worry."
Wu Tianzhen believed in Zhang Hao's abilities. He had broken through the previous mountains so easily, so the ninth mountain would definitely be no problem for him as well.
"That's right. Who is Brother Zhang Hao? He can definitely do it. You don't need to worry."
The fat man also believed that Zhang Hao was fine.
At this moment, Zhang Qilin, who had been silently following the group, suddenly said, "He has already entered Jiuchong Mountain."
Everyone around looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.
"Brother, there are no cracks in the rocks, so how can you say that Brother Zhang Hao has already entered the Ninefold Mountain?"
"That's right, my uncle is clearly right here, how could he have already entered the Ninefold Mountain?"
