System: Infinite Evolution into Qilin Bloodline

Chapter 174

After Ding Changsheng's body exploded, a strange fish appeared in the air, covered in tumors and with a pair of wings on its back.

This strange fish was at least as big as an adult whale in the water. It floated in mid-air, looking down at Zhang Hao and his companions.

"What is this!"

"How did that old bastard Ding Changsheng turn into a strange fish?"

"This fish is disgusting! The tumors on its body are still dripping pus!"

……

Looking at the monster floating in mid-air, the words "Winning Fish" involuntarily came to mind.

"Click..."

After the strange fish appeared, a cracking sound suddenly came from above everyone's heads.

Looking up, one could see that the top of the cave had cracks resembling a spider web centered on the strange fish, and the cracks were spreading rapidly, covering the entire top of the cave in the blink of an eye.

"Wow!"

Suddenly, a large opening appeared in the cave ceiling, and river water poured down from it like a giant waterfall.

The water flow is very fast and has a great impact.

As the water flowed, the opening at the top of the cave continued to expand, and the water flowed down faster and faster. Before long, the water had already reached above everyone's chests.

"I know, it's a jackfish!"

Zhang Hao pointed at the strange fish floating in mid-air and exclaimed in surprise.

The Classic of Mountains and Seas contains records of the Yingyu, which is a mythical fish.

Although it is a divine fish, its appearance does not bring good fortune; on the contrary, it only brings great disasters to people.

Legend has it that wherever carp appear, floods will surely occur, causing widespread suffering.

Zhang Hao only realized that the monster Ding Changsheng had transformed into was Yingyu after he saw the cave ceiling crack open and river water flooding into the cave.

"No way, are there really monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas in this world?"

"It's unbelievable, how could someone turn into such a monster?"

"Ding Changsheng only experienced these changes after the Water Essence Gallbladder entered his body!"

……

After Ding Changsheng transformed into a carp, he kept flapping his wings and floating in mid-air without taking any further action.

Zhang Hao stared at Yingyu, then looked at the rising water level around him.

His expression suddenly changed: "Oh no, it's waiting for the river to fill the cave before it makes its move. It's in the water, that's its domain. We must take care of it before the cave is flooded, or who knows what might happen!"

"But it's floating in mid-air, and we can't fly, so there's nothing we can do about it!"

The fat man frowned.

"Let's give it a try!"

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie are water spirits, and their attacks are enhanced when they are in the water.

They both unleashed the Water Demon's signature move, the River-Turning Hand.

The two pushed their palms towards Yingyu in mid-air, and two huge palms formed from water attacked Yingyu.

A hand formed from condensed water is at least one or two meters long and wide, but it pales in comparison to a carp in the air.

"boom!"

The attack from the River-Turning Hand struck Yingyu with two loud bangs.

However, the "Flipping Hand" technique, which can easily flip an adult more than ten meters, wouldn't even be considered a tickle when it hits Yingyu.

The fish floated in mid-air without any reaction.

Yi Sa and Ding Yudie refused to admit defeat. They carefully recalled the key points of the River-Turning Hand technique and unleashed their strongest attack.

The result was the same; hitting the fish had no effect whatsoever.

"This thing is thick-skinned and tough; even the River-Turning Hand can't do anything to it!"

"Then what should we do? Are we just going to wait until the cave is flooded and turn the tables?"

Just because others can't hit the Winning Fish floating in mid-air doesn't mean Zhang Hao can't; he has the ability to fly at low altitudes.

In the face of the urgency of the situation, he couldn't afford to worry about the risk of exposure.

It's not that he's afraid of winning the fish, it's just that once the fish enters the water, who knows how many unforeseen events might occur.

It's always best to resolve problems before they occur.

With a thought, Zhang Hao slowly rose up. Just as he was about to fly off the water, a dark shadow flashed past his eyes.

It was Zhang Qilin who made the move.

He used the fat man's shoulder for leverage to leap upwards, then drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade and, as he landed, slashed down at Ying Yu.

"boom!"

The black gold ancient sword, sharp enough to cut through iron like mud, struck Yingyu with a loud metallic clang.

The enormous reaction force nearly knocked the Black Gold Ancient Sword off its hinges.

Zhang Qilin frowned, gathering all his strength into his hands, and slashed at Yingyu again before they landed completely.

"boom!"

An even louder metallic clang rang out, but the result was no better than the last time.

Despite Zhang Qilin's best efforts, his two strikes failed to inflict the slightest wound on Ying Yu.

This scene left everyone in the water dumbfounded.

"My goodness, Winfish is amazing!"

"That guy's knife strike could cut even an iron bar as thick as a telephone pole in half, but Yingyu wasn't hurt at all. That's insane!"

"What can we do? Even the young man can't handle Winfish!"

"We can only rely on my uncle!"

……

It's worth noting that Zhang Qilin is the pinnacle of combat power in the tomb raiding world, yet even he couldn't harm Ying Yu, which shows just how formidable Ying Yu is.

"Pfft!"

After attacking twice in a row, Zhang Qilin fell into the water.

He leaped out of the water again, and just as he was about to use the fat man for leverage, he saw that Zhang Hao had somehow jumped to the same height as Yingyu.

Zhang Hao didn't use any weapons; he simply raised his fist and aimed it at Ying Yu's head.

"boom!"

A loud bang echoed through the cave when Zhang Hao's fist struck Ying Yu's head.

As the sound rang out, the cave and the water surface trembled slightly.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of bones breaking rang in everyone's ears.

With a single punch, Zhang Hao shattered Yingyu's skull, leaving a large hole in its head.

"Roar……"

At this moment, Yingyu let out a strange cry.

With a flick of its tail, it plummeted headfirst to the ground.

"Pfft!"

When the giant fish crashed into the water, it created a huge splash, throwing everyone in the water off their feet.

Wu Tianzhen, Fatty, Yi Sa, and Ding Yudie were all dumbfounded when they saw this scene.

"No way, was everything that just happened real?"

"Such a powerful player like Yingyu was defeated by Zhang Hao with a single punch?"

"If I hadn't witnessed the power of the Winning Fish before, and even the young man couldn't handle it, I would have even suspected that it was just a slightly larger ordinary fish!"

"It's not that Yingyu is weak, it's that my uncle is too strong!"

"careful!"

Before Wu Tianzhen could finish speaking, Yingyu emerged from the water and lunged at Zhang Hao and the others with its large mouth full of fangs.
