Chapter 576
After a long while, Zhang Qilin came to his senses, his face slightly pale. He looked at Zhang Hao and said in a deep voice:
"The way this door opens is extremely special; it requires the purest blood of the Primordial Qilin from the Zhang family."
Only this blood can awaken the mechanism within the door and open a passage to the unknown.
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked. They naturally knew how precious the blood of the First Qilin was, but they did not expect that the conditions for opening the bronze gate would be so demanding.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Hao stepped forward, took a deep breath, and slowly extended his hand, placing his fingers into a groove in the bronze door.
Instantly, a sharp pain shot through his fingertips as he realized a needle had pierced his finger, drawing blood.
At the same time, the bronze gate sensed his blood and began to undergo tremendous changes.
First came a slight tremor, as if a giant beast that had been dormant for many years was beginning to awaken.
Then, the runes on the bronze door lit up with an eerie light, which grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire cave.
The runes seemed to come alive, slowly moving across the door and emitting powerful energy fluctuations.
As the light shone, the human skin on the bronze door began to peel off, falling to the ground with a dull thud.
Beneath the human skin, the original luster of the bronze door was revealed—an ancient and mysterious metallic sheen, as if it contained boundless power.
As the bronze door slowly opened, an ancient and decaying aura rushed out, as if taking everyone into another time and space.
Just then, a loud bang shattered the silence, and a huge fireball fell from the sky, crashing heavily onto the track on the ground.
The fireball rolled along its track, radiating light wherever it went, illuminating the world behind the bronze door.
When everyone looked closely, the scene before them left them speechless.
Behind the door stood countless corpses, all well-preserved with clearly visible skin texture, looking just like living people, yet without any breath or life.
Their eyes were empty and lifeless, staring straight ahead as if guarding some secret.
The fat man swallowed hard, his voice trembling as he said:
"This...this is too bizarre. How could there be so many corpses?"
Wu Tianzhen frowned, her face full of vigilance:
"Be careful, there's definitely something wrong with these corpses, don't make any rash moves."
Zhang Hao gripped his sword tightly, his gaze sweeping back and forth among the horde of corpses, a strong sense of unease rising within him.
He could sense that these seemingly still corpses could unleash a deadly danger at any moment.
The group carefully moved among the corpses, each step feeling like walking on thin ice.
Suddenly, the fat man stumbled and accidentally bumped into a corpse.
In an instant, the corpse's eyes suddenly lit up with an eerie red light, and its previously stiff body instantly became soft and flexible. It opened its mouth and let out a deafening howl.
The howl seemed to be a signal, and from it, the surrounding corpses began to awaken.
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, as if controlled by an invisible hand, as they quickly surrounded Zhang Hao and his companions.
"Oh no, it's turned into a zombie!"
Zhang Qilin shouted and quickly drew his Black Gold Ancient Blade. The blade gleamed with a cold light, as if it too sensed the fierce battle that was about to begin.
His gaze was firm and calm, like a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, rushing towards the foremost corpse without hesitation.
The black gold ancient sword drew an arc in the air, carrying great power, and slashed towards the corpse's neck.
However, what was shocking was that the corpse was impervious to swords and spears. When the ancient sword struck its body, it only produced a dull thud, without causing any damage.
After being attacked, the corpse did not retreat but instead pounced on Zhang Qilin even more frantically.
