The Path of Evolution

Zhao Hao was dubious about Yu Ziyan's statement.

Hearing Ji Sanbian's sigh before, he bet that it wasn't the first time that Yu Ziyan turned into a mermaid.

"Today is not the first time you have transformed back to your true form, right? There was no chaotic space before. How did you do it?" Zhao Hao asked.

"Chaos Stone, this is why I joined Dragon Soul." Yu Ziyan really dug her heart out and even revealed this kind of insider trading.

Zhao Hao can also understand that the higher-ups do possess some very high-end treasures, and some of the cultural relics stored in the National Museum are also rare treasures for practitioners. For example, the Demon Sword Onikiri is a collectible antique in the eyes of ordinary people, but it is a precious spiritual weapon to evolvers.

Yu Ziyan opened the conversation and continued: "I joined Dragon Soul when I was sixteen, served for ten years, and got two chaos stones. The first two times I came here, I did transform twice. Unfortunately, the effects of the chaos stones are limited. The chaotic space is far inferior to yours, so I was attacked twice, and I was unable to break through the power grid channel the first two times."

Speaking of this, she showed a heartbreakingly bitter smile: "I transformed three times, and I lost one hundred and eighty years of life. I don't have much life left."

"People who have evolved to the second-level psychic level usually have a lifespan of more than three hundred years. You still have a long way to go." Zhao Hao's words are worthy of consideration. I don't know if he is comforting or implying that Yu Ziyan is exaggerating. fact.

"Yes, if evolution had not failed, I would have lived for more than a hundred years. Unfortunately, the path of evolution I took was not smooth. I failed to evolve four times in total and lost a hundred and twenty years of life." Yu Zi Yan's smile became even more bitter, and her voice sounded heartbreaking: "I am twenty-seven years old, and I have less than three years left to live."

The three people in Long Kaishan were moved by this. When Yu Ziyan transformed before, Ji Sanbian sighed sadly because he knew that Yu Ziyan did not have much life left. But none of the three people expected that her remaining life span would be so short.

Yu Ziyan stared at Zhao Hao, who was always dubious, and continued to maintain a smile on her face: "You don't have to worry about anything. I'm not playing the bitter card to you. In fact, I should thank you. After three transformations, I completely got rid of that Curse. From now on, I will always remain in mermaid form. Even if I die, I will be my true self. This has been the long-cherished wish of our mermaid family for eight hundred years, and it finally came true in me today."

She said it easily, but the expressions of Ji Sanbian and others were extremely sad, and the true-hearted Long Kaishan almost cried.

Staying in mermaid form forever, in this world, means that Yu Ziyan is destined to be an incompatible monster. Ji Sanbian and others all understood that she would not be able to return to the Dragon Soul from now on. This world could not tolerate her, and sooner or later those experts who were able to eliminate demons and protect the Tao would find her head.

Yu Ziyan noticed everyone's reaction and said to Ji Sanbian and others: "Three brothers, don't worry about me, you know my mission. We have passed through the power grid channel, and hope is right in front of us. If we get the ancestors inside, With inheritance, maybe I can live a few more years.”

Hearing this, the three of them were ignited with hope. They were all very confident in the inheritance of their ancestors.

Yu Ziyan said to Zhao Hao again: "I ask you to cooperate this time. I want to survive, to get rid of the curse, and to have the ability to protect myself. This is my purpose. I have finished what I want to say."

"No need to say anything, let's go."

Zhao Hao didn't seem to have any reaction and walked towards the corner first.

…

…

At the end of the power grid channel is a 90-degree corner, connected to another channel.

After walking along this passage for hundreds of meters, a small square suddenly opened up in front of us.

Walking to the edge of the square, Zhao Hao and Yu Ziyan couldn't help but look at each other. They both felt familiar.

In the square, there are five statues.

This scene is very similar to the layout of Emperor Zun Palace.

Before Zhao Hao's team entered the Emperor's Palace, they also first broke the restrictions on the statues of the four demon kings.

Four of the five statues in front of me are majestic ancient generals. Judging from the costumes, they should be from the Qin and Han Dynasties.

There is no doubt that these are the four famous tiger generals of Feng Linhuo.

The fifth statue is quite special. It is a mermaid warrior holding a Poseidon trident, with a human upper body and a fish lower body.

It is not difficult to deduce that this is the Yu Zi period that has not been recorded in history books.

Zhao Hao observed carefully with the eyes of the king. These statues were at least two thousand years old and were definitely not fake. It can be inferred from this that Yu Ziyan’s ancestor is really a legendary mermaid...

At this moment, his three views were subverted.

Xiao Zhao began to believe that there had long been special creatures equivalent to monsters on the earth.

Yu Ziyan and others were not in the mood of Zhao Hao to study history. With tears in their eyes, the four of them knelt down together and worshiped the sculptures of their ancestors.

Of course, Yu Ziyan's current mermaid form doesn't even have legs, so naturally she can't kneel down, but her attitude is very pious.

Just as everyone was kowtowing and bowing, four of the five statues suddenly shook.

Except for the statue of Zhongli Mei, the other four statues have found blood descendants and resonated with their descendants.

Ji Sanbian and others looked ecstatic, seeming to have benefited greatly from this resonance.

Zhao Hao was unhappy on the spot. What about the agreed-upon right of first choice and the agreed-upon half share of the meeting?

He was almost certain that the so-called treasure of Bahuang Liuhe was hidden in these five statues.

But now there is a problem. He is not a descendant of the Five Tiger Generals, and the statue of Zhongli Mei does not respect him at all.

It hurts my heart, old man!

Zhao Hao studied the statue of Zhong Limei for a long time, but the statue remained motionless and showed no resonance with him at all.

Suddenly, a sharp shout came from the sky:

"Arrogant, how dare you come here again and again!"

The voice was old and majestic. It was the second time Zhao Hao heard such a threatening voice.

The first time was when he was in the Land of the Netherworld and heard the Lord of the Netherworld speak. At that time, he didn't see the figure of the Lord of the Netherworld at all, but he was already shocked by the other party's voice. There was a terrifying energy dormant in that voice that made him feel powerless in his heart.

The intimidating power contained in the mysterious old man's voice today was not weaker than that of the Lord of the Netherworld.

The man took control of the situation before he showed up.

The four statues that were shaking violently suddenly stopped.

Ji Sanbian and others who were kneeling stood up collectively, each of them showing expressions as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

A yellowish shadow fell from the sky.

It was a middle-aged Taoist wearing an apricot-yellow Taoist robe, skinny as a stick, with twinkling eyes.

Zhao Hao was so shocked that he used his Heavenly King's Eyes and couldn't see where the Taoist priest came from.
