"And you want to pursue my sister?"
"..."
"Alright then, but you absolutely must not use my blood to do anything bad," Eve said calmly.
Then, he took out a dagger and lightly sliced his finger. With a dripping sound, a drop of blood flowed out.
At the same time, Lin Yang took out a mirror and caught the drop of blood perfectly. The bronze mirror, which originally looked very simple and old, suddenly began to shine brightly under the nourishment of this drop of blood.
Then, when O'Connor's blood flowed into it again, the entire mirror came back to life.
"Good, very good. As expected of the protagonist of destiny. Your luck is indeed abundant, directly reviving this mirror. From now on, it's up to you to control Taiyin." Lin Yang said happily.
Under Lin Yang's divine eye of fortune, using these two drops of blood as a medium, the fortunes of Eve and O'Connor, the two main characters, are being continuously absorbed by this mirror.
As the true protagonists of the legend, their identities are anything but simple. O'Connor is the reincarnation of the warrior of the sun god, and Eve's previous incarnation was the queen of a pharaoh.
Moreover, and more importantly, as the plot unfolds step by step, as the group arrives at the city of the dead buried deep underground, and with the mummy before them, the story has truly begun.
Eve and O'Connor, in particular, seem to have an inexhaustible flow of good fortune.
Lin Yang knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, until the end of the first part of the Legend of the Gods and Demons, the two of them would continue to be blessed by fate, turning misfortune into good fortune and averting disaster.
Fortunately, Lin Yang hadn't mistreated them or restricted her freedom these past few days. Instead, he hired her, and even the blood they were now being used was obtained through exchange of gold. Otherwise, just look at Imhotep's fate.
"Alright, now it's my turn. Although there's an old saying that 'favorable timing is not as important as favorable location, and favorable location is not as important as favorable human relationships,' in reality, human relationships are uncontrollable, favorable location can be chosen, and favorable timing can be changed."
"At this moment, I will cast a spell. If all goes well, the location where the Indian team will arrive will change directly. It's not impossible that they will appear right in front of us."
"However, if things really went that smoothly, we could probably wipe them out in no time. So, that's basically impossible." Taiyin scoffed disdainfully at the excited expressions on everyone's faces.
My teammates are so unambitious, always thinking about what's convenient for them. Their character is just awful. But then again, if everyone were as good as me, what chance would other teams have?
Then, Taiyin kept making all sorts of strange hand seals, and streams of fortune were constantly being stolen from Eve's body.
Then, at everyone's prompting, Eve took out the Book of the Dead and began to recite it.
"Sun, Moon... Rebirth, rebirth."
Lin Yang could see it clearly: although Eve was just a mortal at this moment, the aura above her head was like a canopy, obscuring the sky and the sun.
Just now, with the chanting of the Necronomicon, his entire aura surged like boiling water. It instantly turned into a fourth-tier pale blue, and the color even showed a tendency to deepen.
As the woman recited, as the call from her past life echoed, and as countless spiritual energies surged, the mummy, which had been decaying for a thousand years, finally came to life.
At the same time, countless golden scarabs appeared from all directions. The sheer number of scarabs, like a tidal wave, was indeed somewhat terrifying. However, that was all. Because everyone's attention was elsewhere.
"Okay, I understand, they're right here..."

Chapter 71: The Arrival
With Taiyin's excited roar, everyone immediately noticed the change in the bronze mirror. At the same time, the Indian team finally arrived in this world.
On a sand dune, about twenty miles from the city of the dead, all was yellow sand, a vast desert. Anyone who came here would surely lose their way.
Then, with a burst of light, three people appeared on the sand dune. The first to awaken was a middle-aged man.
This burly man, dressed in black with golden skin, looked resolute and had a somewhat angular appearance.
At the same time, like Maitreya Buddha, his large, exposed belly was not concealed at all. In his hand, he held a large Guan Dao (a type of halberd) weighing several hundred kilograms.
Upon waking, he immediately looked around for something. After discovering a female Taoist priest, he carefully stood guard beside her.
Then, a young man woke up, looking even younger than Lin Yang. Moreover, he was quite individualistic, constantly looking around and appearing very lively, holding a single-edged sword in his hand.
"Wow, big guy, is this the world we've entered this time? The spiritual energy is so much stronger than the last world. I wonder if our Yellow Heaven Plan will succeed." Liao Hua glanced at the very nervous Zhou Cang and said with a smile.
"Liao Hua, have you forgotten that we must keep this a secret? The Yellow Heaven Plan is such an important thing, how can it be discussed so casually? If a powerful figure senses it and ruins the leader's grand plan, can you bear the responsibility?" Zhou Cang said somewhat angrily.
Seeing this, Liao Hua couldn't help but stick out his tongue. "Alright, I understand. This is the Land of Reincarnation, where the secrets of heaven are severed and powerful beings are nowhere to be found. Even if their names are mentioned, there won't be any reaction like in the main world."
Then, a female Taoist priestess awoke. She wore a Taoist robe and made no attempt to adorn herself, appearing quite natural. In her hand, she held a ruyi scepter. It was obvious that this woman was Zhang Ning, the Holy Maiden of the Way of Peace, daughter of Zhang Jiao.
After glancing at the mission description, Zhou Cang said with some concern, "Hmm, the Duke of Wu, the ancestor of the Divine Path, Cai Yan, the daughter of the Second Sage Cai Yong, and Shi A, the disciple of the Great Swordsman Wang Yue. This time, the opponents are not simple either."
"What's there to be afraid of? Since we entered this world later, it means that the Indian team is stronger than the Central team. Even if we remove the influence of these natives, it's still just a three-on-three fight," Liao Hua said with a smile.
"No, they arrived in this world seven days earlier. By then, they must have already taken control of the entire Central Continent team. Even if they hadn't, after seven days together, they would have developed a tacit understanding."
“But what about us? If we really encounter the Central Plains team, how much of our strength can we unleash? At that time, we will have to fight against the Central Plains team on one hand, and at the same time we will have to be wary of the natives of the Indian Plains team. At that time, can we really still have the upper hand?” Zhou Cang frowned and said.
“The problem is, you and I are already at the third rank. Even though we just broke through, we're still at the third rank,” Liao Hua said. However, the confidence he had at the beginning was gone from his words.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning waved his hand and said, "Alright, Ruyi's warning means that we have already fallen into a trap in some way. Perhaps it's the location where we landed, or perhaps it's the surrounding environment."
However, just as Zhang Ning was about to say something, another burst of light shone around them.
"Forget it, let's hide first and talk about everything later." After saying that, the jade ruyi in his hand emitted a beam of light, shining on Zhang Ning, and then it hid.
Seeing this, Zhou Cang patted the hat on his head, while Liao Hua shook his head, and then they both disappeared.
Just then, as the radiance faded, eleven people appeared on the sand dunes. Judging from their clothing, they were all dressed in typical desert attire, clearly indicating they had come prepared.
"Ah ha, the opponent is the Zhongzhou team, and, never heard of them before, they look like newbies. This time, I'll definitely give them a good taste of my iron fist."
A muscular, dark-skinned man brandished his enormous fist and spoke smugly. It was clear he was very confident in his strength.
