System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 287

"call……"

Zhang Hao felt a little better after killing all the women who had fallen into the cave.

Unfortunately, it was all in vain; the mountain spirits were still dead. I wonder what Meng Qianzi and the others will think when they see the corpses of those mountain spirits on the ground.

Zhang Hao shook his head, found an undamaged rope on the ground, secured it to the edge of the cliff, and then threw it down.

He shouted into the sinkhole, "It's all taken care of, everyone come up!"

Ten or twenty minutes later, Meng Qianzi, Wu Tianzhen, and their group climbed out of the sinkhole.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, Ding Yudie and the others sighed upon seeing the corpses scattered on the ground, shaking their heads with regret in their eyes.

Meng Qianzi didn't react much when she saw the corpses, as if she had already expected this to happen.

"Liu Qiang, you lead the remaining brothers to give their bodies a proper burial."

"Yes!"

The mountain spirits following behind Meng Qianzi responded and led their men to dispose of the corpse.

“Zhang Hao, thank you for avenging them. Actually, this is not the first time this has happened. Since we chose to cut open the mountain to extract the gallbladder, we were prepared to die. We have tried to cut open the mountain to extract the gallbladder before, and each time many people have been sacrificed. If we were to do it again, I believe everyone would still do it. Only by completely killing the water spirit can we, the mountain spirits, completely eliminate our worries.”

"Ah."

Zhang Hao and the mountain spirits felt the same way.

The mountain spirit is threatened by the water spirit because it guards the mountain gall. The Zhang family and the Wu family are essential for the continued spread and expansion of the gods because of their special physical constitution. Therefore, no matter what, once their identities are exposed, the gods will definitely try to kill the two families and obtain their corpses.

This threat will persist as long as the god is not killed.

Zhang Hao believes that the ancestors of both families have made many efforts and sacrificed many people in order to eliminate the gods.

If they could do it all over again, everyone's choices would definitely not change; they would even sacrifice their own lives to contribute to the cause of destroying God.

Zhang Hao and his group waited at the entrance of the sinkhole for four or five hours before the mountain spirit finally disposed of the corpses on the ground.

The living bowed before their graves before leaving Luotianhuang.

On the way, Zhang Hao asked, "Miss Meng, you said before that the mountain gall can counteract the water essence. Now that we have the mountain gall, where is the water essence?"

"Dalong Cave is a deep pool below the largest waterfall in western Hunan. Legend has it that the mountain below Dalong Cave is crisscrossed and can lead to any cave in western Hunan."

The water spirit can only appear in various caves and control so many cave girls by using the mountain intestines.

What is "mountain intestine"?

"The mountain intestine is the passage. We mountain spirits usually call it the mountain intestine. Water spirits can move quickly inside it."

"So that's it."

The "Luodong Nu" (fallen cave woman) only appears in western Hunan, meaning that the "water spirit's" activity range is within western Hunan.

Although the area may seem small, finding the water crystal in the entire Xiangxi region is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Are we guaranteed to find the Water Spirit if we go to the Great Dragon Cave?"

"I asked."

Meng Qianzi shook her head: "Not necessarily, but we have a higher chance of finding him there."

"If that water spirit isn't in the Great Dragon Cave, wouldn't we be completely helpless against him?"

"No, we have other plans. I can pretend to be a bride getting married and pass by the entrance of the Great Dragon Cave. I believe that I can attract the water spirit."

Upon hearing Meng Qianzi's words, Zhang Hao recalled that when they were searching for the first ancestor, Yi Sa had entered a sedan chair pretending to be a bride getting married, and the semen had indeed appeared.

However, they did not see the water spirit in its true form.

Regardless, this method is indeed effective, but the person dressed as the bride faces great danger.

In that cave before, the ancestor of the mountain spirit was bewitched and controlled by the water spirit.

If Zhang Hao hadn't happened to be looking for her, that old ancestor would have lost her life long ago.

……

Three days later, a grand wedding procession set off from Furong Town, complete with a bright red sedan chair and the deafening sound of gongs and drums.

As the wedding procession slowly moved forward, the morning in Furong Town was awakened by a joyous sound of gongs and drums.

Along the streets, villagers and tourists exchanged curious or blessing glances, adding a touch of mystery and anticipation to this unexpected "wedding."

However, this was not an ordinary wedding, but a carefully planned scheme by Zhang Hao and his group to lure the enemy deep into their territory, with their target being the evil water spirit hidden deep in western Hunan who controlled countless women in caves.

Leading the procession was Zhang Qilin, dressed as a matchmaker.

The small mole on his face, about the size of a soybean, was meticulously sculpted and appeared remarkably lifelike, as if it had always been there.

The bright red silk on the matchmaker's dress shimmered in the sunlight. Although his swaying figure was a little clumsy, it had a unique charm, making Zhang Hao, Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, and Ding Yudie behind him unable to help but laugh.

"This guy's acting skills are getting more and more superb."

The fat man said in a low voice.

Zhang Hao smiled slightly. He never expected that Zhang Qilin, such a cold and aloof person, would be willing to play the role of a matchmaker.

However, his ability to shrink his bones is truly amazing. You know, during the mission at the shipwrecked tomb, Zhang Qilin's portrayal of a bald man surprised everyone. Now, seeing him play a matchmaker, it feels completely natural.

Inside the bright red sedan chair, Meng Qianzi, dressed in a gorgeous wedding gown, sat upright. Although there was no joy on her face, her eyes shone with determination and resolve.

She knew that this battle concerned the fate of the Mountain Spirit Clan; only success was allowed, failure was not an option.

Yi Sa, disguised as a maid, stood close to the bridal sedan chair, glancing around from time to time, alert to any possible anomalies.

She felt both nervous and expectant, after all, it concerned her and the lives of all three Shuixiao clans.

As the group gradually moved away from Furong Town, the surrounding scenery changed from a bustling city to a desolate mountain wilderness.

The roars of birds and beasts echoed through the mountains and forests from time to time, sending chills down one's spine.

However, for Zhang Hao and his group, the real danger did not come from these wild beasts, but from the water spirits lurking in the shadows, ready to appear at any moment.

After several hours of trekking, the wedding procession arrived near the Dalong Cave.

A huge waterfall cascaded down from the heights, like an inverted Milky Way, its roar echoing through the valley.

Below the waterfall lies a bottomless pool, said to be the hiding place of the water spirit.

"Follow the plan."

Zhang Hao spoke softly to the crowd, then gestured for the matchmaker to continue forward.

As the group moved forward, they arrived at the entrance of the Great Dragon Cave, where a sense of oppression and eeriness permeated the air.

Just as the group was about to pass through the narrowest passage of the Great Dragon Cave, a chilling wind suddenly blew in from the deep pool, carrying a suffocating cold.

A chill ran through them, knowing that the water spirit had sensed their arrival and was preparing to abduct Meng Qianzi from her marriage.
