Chapter 120
Since the soil needs water to grow and expand indefinitely, dehydrating it would likely cause damage.
With a thought, Zhang Hao unleashed one of the abilities he gained after fusing with the drought demon: emitting light and heat.
The name of this ability is unremarkable and seems quite ordinary.
It is actually a very remarkable ability.
Not only can light suppress many evil spirits, but its heat is not ordinary heat either. It can heat up extremely rapidly in a short period of time, even heating bluestone bricks until they are red-hot, reaching at least several hundred or even a thousand degrees.
"what!"
"What happened? I can't see!"
What was that white light just now?
"I haven't seen that before, so how come the white light I just saw was coming from my uncle?"
After Zhang Hao unleashed his glowing and heat-generating power, his body emitted a dazzling white light. Wu Tianzhen and the others, without taking any precautions, saw the white light and lost their sight before they could figure out what was happening.
At the same time, they felt the surrounding temperature rise sharply, and the cave, which was originally somewhat cold, became hot and dry.
"Zizzizi..."
As the temperature rose, wisps of white mist began to rise from the soil.
That's the steam that forms after water boils.
Centered on Zhang Hao, the soil within a 40-meter radius rapidly dehydrated and shrank, turning into something like an old woman's face, covered in wrinkles.
Zhang Hao nodded in satisfaction as he watched the rapidly dehydrated soil.
The original effective range of the light and heat emission was 20 meters in radius, but after the Qilin bloodline was upgraded, its effective range also increased to 40 meters.
As the Qilin bloodline continues to evolve in the future, its attack range will also increase, making it easy to cover the entire cave with its effective range.
Zhang Hao raised his fist and smashed it against the cave wall. With just a light touch, the cave wall instantly crumbled, revealing a large opening.
After being dehydrated, the soil does not repair or fill the cracks as quickly as before.
If it's destroyed, then it's destroyed.
"As expected, the guess was right. As long as there is no water, the Breath of Soil is nothing to fear!"
After experiments proved that dehydration could counteract the miasma, Zhang Hao continued to move around inside the cave.
As he continued to move, the area surrounded by the Breath of Earth gradually shrank.
Wherever Zhang Hao went, the soil within a 40-meter radius of him would lose its magical properties due to dehydration and turn into powder.
Half an hour later, the Breath of Earth that had originally enveloped the entire cave shrank to the size of an adult's fist.
When the Xirang first came out of the giant egg, it was the size of a basketball, but now that it's completely dehydrated, it's only the size of a fist.
Because it lost moisture, it also lost its activity and stopped growing and expanding.
With a thought, Zhang Hao stopped emitting light and heat.
He held the Breath Soil in his hand and commanded, "System, fuse with the Breath Soil."
[Ding, command received, fusion initiation.]
As the system notification sounded, the Breath of Earth in his hand instantly transformed into a ball of seven-colored liquid. Then, the seven-colored liquid spread out and became a thin film that enveloped Zhang Hao.
The countless molecules that make up the membrane seem to have a life of their own, desperately trying to penetrate his body and merge with his body cells.
[Ding, congratulations host, 25th fusion completed. Fusion item: Breath Soil.]
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have obtained the fusion item's characteristic: Infinite Growth (any part of the body can grow and regenerate indefinitely).]
"Ok?"
"Unlimited growth!"
Zhang Hao never imagined that one day he would gain such a magical ability.
Any part of the body can grow and regenerate indefinitely, which is even more terrifying than the regeneration of severed limbs.
Some creatures in nature, such as geckos and lizards, have the ability to regenerate their tails after they break off.
However, it can only regenerate from a broken tail; if you cut off its legs or body, it cannot regenerate.
The infinite growth ability gained from fusing with the Breath of Earth allows any part of the body to grow and regenerate indefinitely.
At this moment, Zhang Hao even had the urge to cut off his hands and feet to conduct the experiment.
He suppressed his impulse, took out a dagger, and slashed a horrifying gash in his palm.
The moment the dagger was raised, before the blood could even gush out, the wound had already healed at a speed invisible to the naked eye.
It's terrifying; the ability to grow indefinitely is truly terrifying.
It is as terrifying as a well-watered soil, with an astonishing ability to repair itself.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, on fusing with the special item Breath of Earth. Bloodline evolution progress +1, Tier 1 evolution progress (5/20).]
By fusing a special item, the evolution progress of the Qilin bloodline increases by 1 again. Only 15 more special items need to be fused to evolve the Qilin bloodline to the second stage, at which time all attributes will double again.
"System, open the properties panel."
Name: Zhang Hao
【Age: 18】
[Bloodline: Qilin Bloodline Tier 1 (Evolution Progress 5/20)]
[System: Level 2 All Things Fusion System (15/20). New abilities will be unlocked after leveling up.]
[Remaining fusion attempts: 6]
[Items already fused: Ants, Diamond, Warehouse, Qilin Blood, ... Large abandoned warehouse, Black-haired Snake Mother's Inner Core, Nine-Headed Naga, Breath Soil.]
[Gained Abilities: 400 times body weight strength, body as hard as diamond, 50000 cubic meters of storage space, Qilin bloodline, ... 1/250th of a second punching speed, underwater breathing ability, flight, luminous and heat-generating ability, Lord of Ten Thousand Snakes, illusion immunity, unlimited growth (any part of the body can grow and regenerate indefinitely).]
[Ongoing Quest: Hidden Quest, collect 3 Snake-Eyebrow Bronze Fish, completion reward 5 fusion attempts: current quest progress 2/3.]
Zhang Hao took a closer look at the attribute panel; there were still 6 fusion attempts remaining.
The All Things Fusion System can be upgraded to level 2 and unlock new abilities after 5 more fusions.
He was very much looking forward to the new ability that was about to be unlocked, but he didn't know what it was.
In the current system of fusion of all things, the ability gained by fusing items with the same characteristics will be of a higher level and will override the lower level.
It would be great if unlocking new abilities would allow the attributes of items with the same characteristics to stack.
This way, there will be no waste when fusing items with the same attribute abilities, and you can also break through the limit to get stronger attributes.
"Hey, we're out!"
"We escaped from the Breath of Earth!"
"Where is the Breath of Earth? Where has it gone?"
……
After Zhang Hao stopped releasing his light-emitting and heat-generating abilities, Wu Tianzhen, Zhang Qilin, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie's vision gradually returned, and they were able to see their surroundings again.
At this moment, they were surprised to find that the Breath of Earth had disappeared, along with everything in the cave.
They had thought they were going to be absorbed and merged by the Breath of Earth, but now that they had suddenly found themselves safe and sound, everyone couldn't hide their joy.
When they came to their senses, they suddenly realized something, turned to look at Zhang Hao, and said in unison:
"Uncle, you saved us!"
"Brother Zhang Hao, you saved us!"
"Boss, you saved us!"
