System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 540

Zhang Hao turned to look at the crowd, his golden-red eyes revealing an unwavering determination:

"Stay close to me, the road ahead will only be more dangerous."

Having said that, he stepped into the swirling, eerie green light first, and his figure vanished instantly.

Without hesitation, Zhang Qilin followed closely behind, his black gold ancient sword gleaming with a cold light in the dim light.

The fat man swallowed hard, hurriedly picked up the detonator from the ground, stuffed it into his backpack, and muttered:

"I've really seen something new today. Following Brother Zhang, even if it's a dragon's den or a tiger's lair, I'll still have to brave it!"

Xie Xiaohua and Xie Yuchen exchanged a glance, put away their guns, helped Wu Tianzhen and Huo Xiuxiu up, and, with Ding Yudie in tow, steadily walked into the teleportation rune.

Yi Sa took a deep breath, gripped the short knife tightly, and was the last to step into the unknown portal. He was secretly on guard, thinking that the secret of the "Thirty-Three Non-Human Realms" had probably only just begun to unfold.

When the feeling of being grounded returned, and I opened my heavy eyelids, an indescribable stench mixed with thick moisture hit me, almost suffocating me.

No longer were the dark, dry ruins of a palace; before me lay an endless, churning expanse of black swamp. The swamp was as viscous as asphalt, with huge, filthy black bubbles constantly rising to its surface. With a "pop," these bubbles would burst, releasing a thick, highly corrosive, yellowish-green gas.

These miasmas, like living venomous snakes, slowly coiled and coiled in the low sky, forming nauseating, flowing clouds of poison.

The light was extremely dim, with only a few patches of moss, resembling giant mold, clinging to the jagged black rock walls high above, providing a meager illumination.

The faint light was distorted and scattered by the dense poisonous miasma, turning the entire space into a sickly, hazy yellowish-green.

Beneath my feet was a solitary, relatively dry, black boulder, like an island in a swamp.

The rock surface was covered with slippery moss and an unknown slime. Behind them stood a huge stone tablet, its material still that bronze-like texture that was neither gold nor stone, with a ghostly green light flowing across it, and engraved with those five chilling characters—Thirty-Three Non-Human Realms.

"vomit……"

The fat man was the first to lose control and started gagging, supporting himself on his knees.

"This...this is some kind of cesspool that has come to life? It stinks to death, Fatty!"

"Beware of miasma!"

Xie Xiaohua immediately held her breath, rummaged through her backpack for a gas mask, and quickly put it on. Her voice became muffled through the mask:

"Highly poisonous! Extremely corrosive!"

Others followed suit.

Zhang Hao and Zhang Qilin merely frowned slightly, as if the poisonous miasma, which could kill an ordinary person instantly, was only a minor discomfort to their powerful physique and bloodline.

Huo Xiuxiu wore a mask, her voice trembling with fear and tears:

"Yu Die! Yu Die, he..."

As she was being supported, Ding Yudie's body began to tremble violently again. The deathly gray veins on her face writhed as if alive, and a faint, dim green luster emanated from beneath her skin!

His tightly closed eyelids twitched rapidly, and he made painful "hoarse" sounds in his throat.

Yi Sa rushed to Ding Yudie's side, placed her fingers on his wrist, and her face instantly turned extremely ugly:

"The substance within him... is responding to the poisonous miasma here! The erosion is intensifying!"

Zhang Hao's gaze fell on Ding Yudie, a cold understanding flashing deep in his golden-red pupils.

He didn't attack immediately, but instead looked up into the depths of this churning, deathly swamp.

Glug...glug...In the center of the viscous black swamp, a huge abscess suddenly swelled up!

The abscess swelled rapidly, its surface oozing a thick, dark green liquid. Then, with a "pop," the abscess burst open! A twisted figure slowly rose from the bursting pus!

The thing was barely recognizable as human, but its entire body was covered by a thick, rotting membrane of flesh that constantly oozed black and yellow pus.

Its limbs are unusually long and thin, like those of a rotting stick insect, with sharp bony claws at the ends.

There was no obvious head, only a huge mouth that almost split open to the chest cavity at the top of the torso, constantly opening and closing, revealing layers of sharp teeth like chrysanthemums!

Around the giant mouth were countless tiny pores that opened and closed constantly, each time spewing out a thick, yellowish-green miasma!

A stench a hundred times stronger than the surrounding environment, filled with the aura of plague, decay, and death, crashed into the people on the deserted island like a tangible shockwave!

Even through the gas mask, the stench of decay that penetrates to the very soul almost makes one faint!

"Roar--!!!"

The rotting giant corpse had no vocal organs, but a sharp, chaotic mental shockwave filled with morbid babbling emanated directly from its enormous mouth and countless pores!

This impact is not directed at the physical body, but rather frantically assaults the consciousness, attempting to directly imprint the illusions of fear, despair, and bodily decay into everyone's mind!

Beware of mental pollution!

Jie Xiaohua shouted a warning, feeling a throbbing pain in her temples and seeing phantoms of rotting limbs before her eyes.

Wu Tianzhen groaned, her face deathly pale, her body swaying precariously. Huo Xiuxiu screamed even louder, as if she could see her skin festering and peeling off.

The rotting giant corpse suddenly raised its long, decaying arm and pointed it at the deserted island!

The pores on its body that spewed miasma suddenly expanded, and a torrent of poisonous miasma, condensed to the extreme and dark green in color, shot out like sewage bursting its banks, accompanied by a piercing corrosive sound, toward the giant rock where everyone was!

Wherever it passed, even the ordinary miasma in the air was instantly dyed a deeper dark green, and the swamp below was corroded so much that it hissed and emitted plumes of white smoke!

This torrent of poisonous miasma is enough to melt steel into scrap metal in an instant!
