Chapter 86 The Arrival of the Central Continent Team
Hearing this, Gan Tian felt as if he had grasped a lifeline.
"You can't kill me. The Central Continent Team will arrive in three days. Even the Supreme God believes that our two teams need to join forces to fight them. You can't kill me!"
"The way you beg for mercy is utterly repulsive."
Swish swish swish~~~
Zhao Zhui raised his knife empty-handed and, as if chopping down a newcomer, severed Gan Tian's tendons in his hands and feet, then charged straight at Imhotep.
The weapon in his hand is an AA-grade Vampire's Touch. Ordinary people can't do anything about Imhotep's immortality, but this weapon is different; it can absorb the enemy's blood, spirit, soul, and even the light of the mind.
Every cut that made Imhotep was excruciating, and he could clearly feel his magic power diminishing.
Imhotep, relying on his immortality, took two blows. Realizing something was wrong, he immediately turned into flying sand and fled the underground tomb with a thunderous roar.
Zhao Zhuikong didn't give chase. He couldn't kill Imhotep yet, otherwise he'd return after the mission ended. He still needed to wait for Little Apple to arrive so he could give her a gift.
After driving Imhotep away, he turned back and gave Gan Tian a cruel smile.
"Baldy, tell me, where are the rest of your team hiding?"
"Waaaaah~~"
*Swoosh!* With a single slash, Gan Tian let out a deafening scream: "Ah!!!"
"Will you tell me or not!"
"ah!!"
"Will you tell me or not?!"
"ah!!!"
…………
three days later.
Cairo Library.
An invisible light curtain enveloped the entire library.
After Evelyn bumped into them, the books on the bookshelf scattered all over the floor, and when the Middle Continent team arrived, there was hardly any place to step on.
Wang Lu opened his eyes and got up. He saw books and bookshelves all over the floor, and with a wave of his hand, he put them into his subspace.
The ground instantly felt much cleaner.
Besides the veterans, there were also four newcomers present: Jia, Yi, Ding, and Ming Yanwei, who had remained from the previous round and were now considered veterans.
However, compared to Wang Lu and others, they cannot be considered true veterans; they should be considered veteran newcomers.
Let's take a look at the truly new recruits.
A beautiful woman, a strong man with a face full of scars. The last one was a bespectacled man like Chu Xuan, wearing a suit and with neat features.
Compared to the original work, Xiao Honglu and Zhang Heng are missing.
Finally, the other veterans also got up from the ground one by one and checked the tasks on their watches.
"Main Quest: Reseal Imhotep within 7 days. The entire party will receive one D-rank side quest and 1000 reward points. If the quest is not completed, or Imhotep is killed or sealed by another party, the quest will fail, and the entire party will lose 5000 reward points..."
"Team Indiana and Team East America entered the world of Gods and Demons three days ago. They killed one member of another team whose gene lock was not yet activated, and obtained..."
The Central Continent team already knew this information, the only difference from what was expected was the addition of the East American team.
Wang Lu's gaze lingered on Zhao Yingkong for a long time, leaving her completely bewildered.
"What, do I have some side storyline on my face?" Zhao Yingkong asked coldly.
"Hard to say."
Everyone else thought Wang Lu was joking, but the perceptive Chu Xuan also turned his gaze to Zhao Yingkong's face, revealing a thoughtful expression.
After quickly reviewing the information from the main god, everyone began to analyze it.
Chu Xuan spoke first: "If nothing unexpected happens, Imhotep, the two scriptures, and the male and female protagonists of the story have already fallen into the hands of the other two teams."
"Leaving aside the Book of the Dead, the Book of the Sun is arguably the most important treasure in the entire cycle of reincarnation. Perhaps we can start from this point and sow discord between the other two teams."
Zheng Zha asked, "How did you know the other two teams would team up?"
"I'm just preparing for the worst. Besides, when facing a stronger enemy, anyone with brains should know how to unite."
Coincidentally, the pretentious Zhao Zhuikong really doesn't understand this principle.
He was confident that he could single-handedly defeat all his enemies, whether it was the continent of India, which the gods considered weaker than him, or the continent of Middle-earth, which would arrive in three days.
"So what should we do now?" Zheng Zha asked again.
Chu Xuan: "As those who arrived later, we basically have no way to borrow strength from the NPCs. Let's just deal with whatever comes our way."
As they were talking, the three newlyweds opened their eyes, swaying slightly.
Upon seeing the unfamiliar and dimly lit surroundings, Qin Zhuiyu was about to scream.
The overlord immediately slammed his fist, the size of a sandbag, down at him.
duang~duang~duang~
After three punches, the newcomer fell into a baby-like sleep, and together with four veteran newcomers, they were tied up like dumplings and stuffed into the subspace.
The wealthy and powerful Zhongzhou team is too lazy to even earn the 100 points needed to introduce newcomers.
Swah——
As the light curtain faded, outside air blew into the library, bringing with it a musty smell.
Just then, the librarian walked in from the lobby carrying a pot of freshly brewed tea. Seeing the empty book room, his eyes widened immediately.
"Holy shit! Where are my books? Where did they all go?"
He discovered that not only the books, but also the bookshelf that Evelyn had overturned and hadn't tidied up was nowhere to be found.
Wang Lu raised his hand and a neatly arranged bookshelf appeared with a rumble, landing perfectly in front of the librarian.
"Oh my god! Are you dark magicians? It seems I didn't choose the wrong people this time. Mysterious power from the East!"
The curator grinned broadly, chuckled, and set down the teapot, then greeted everyone:
"I thought you were just ordinary mercenaries, but I didn't expect you to possess such mysterious power. It seems that sending you to find Evelyn and Jonathan was the right decision."
Everyone immediately understood.
It turns out that the identity that the Lord God arranged for them was that of mercenaries employed by the librarian to search for the missing Evelyn.
"Zhan Lan has already activated the mental chains," Chu Xuan analyzed.
"Clearly, Evelyn has fallen into the hands of the Indiana or East American teams. But that's not surprising; if it were us, we would have taken control of the main character immediately as well."
"Should we go rescue the main character?"
Wang Lu: "She plays a crucial role in the second film, 'The Mummy Returns.' If it's convenient, let's save her."
"Part Two? Do we want to trigger Part Two's storyline now? We're still in the middle of a team battle right now," Zheng Zha asked.
Wang Lu waved his hand: "For team battles and such, just send someone to handle it."
"Returning to the dungeon during a break to farm points will trigger double rewards. However, if the subsequent movie storyline is triggered on the first entry into the dungeon, the main god will give triple rewards."
"With triple rewards, the benefits of triggering side quests are no less than those of team battles."
Zheng Zha: "Ahem, what I mean is: the Indian team and the East American team are very strong opponents, aren't we worried about these two teams?"
"Aren't you worried that the char siu will jump out of the bowl and attack you?"
As Wang Lu was speaking, he suddenly frowned, sensing something amiss.
He smiled, looking like a war god, and then, amidst the puzzled gazes of the crowd, slowly walked to Zhao Yingkong's side and put his arm around her.
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to ask if you've named your baby yet?"
"?"
Everyone was baffled, wondering why Wang Lu had suddenly started chasing girls.
Zhao Ying tried to break free, but even without Wang Lu's physical strength, his telekinetic abilities alone could keep her firmly under control.
And Wang Lu wasn't satisfied with just holding her...
"Let me check and see if our future child will go hungry..."
Just then, a strange figure slid down from the library wall and appeared before everyone with a cold face.
As his face gradually became clearer in front of everyone, Zhao Yingkong, who had been weakly resisting Wang Lu, suddenly froze!
"Zhao Zhuikong!!!"
