Morale is high!
Li Ling smiled noncommittally and led his team quickly toward Imhotep's tomb, having already anticipated this situation.
Compared to some team members who were confused and even complained that they shouldn't have left the newcomers in the desert oasis so easily, Chu Xuan was probably the only one in the team who understood Li Ling's thoughts.
From the fact that the other party could remotely control Yorif to communicate with them, Chu Xuan guessed that the other party had a remote mental ability. But this mental ability user couldn't control things from too far away, otherwise wouldn't that be counterproductive?
Therefore, Chu Xuan guessed that the opposing team must be around the desert oasis, and after refusing peace, they would quickly retreat to Imhotep's tomb.
This gave the Central Continent team time and opportunity.
At the same time, Chu Xuan anticipated the danger of keeping the newcomers, but still kept them.
Because bringing in the new Rao dialect will definitely slow them down, making it harder for them to catch up with the Indian team.
In other words, the Grand Strategist Chu directly abandoned the newcomer.
------------
Chapter 289: Meeting
Both teams moved at an extremely fast speed toward Imhotep's tomb.
The Indian team is eager to return to Imhotep's tomb, complete their mission, and escape the horror movie world; the Central team is eager to kill the Indian team before they can complete their mission and win back points.
Rather than Chu Xuan abandoning the five new members of the team, it would be better if Li Ling abandoned the five new members; the two of them were of the same mind.
Bringing in new recruits will slow you down in the desert, preventing you from catching up with the Indian team and thus making it impossible to wipe them out and earn high reward points and side quests.
Abandoning a new player will result in a loss of 10,000 reward points, but will grant you more reward points and access to side quests.
Among the five newcomers, the big star and beauty are completely useless to the team, of course... maybe they can be used for sex.
The children being studied in the mental hospital have extremely high IQs, but they are completely useless with the almost supernaturally intelligent strategist Chu around.
As for the other two, the computer programmer and the drug dealer, they were essentially useless.
Zhang Heng, a substitute archer for the Olympics, has good potential in long-range archery, but after recent observations, his temperament is too poor, or he is too timid!
They could have been trained and nurtured, but unfortunately, they encountered the current special circumstances.
Of course, if Li Ling takes control of the Main God Space in the future and is in a good mood, he might resurrect them, who knows?
...
The two teams, moving at full speed, arrived at Imhotep's tomb almost one after the other.
However, the two teams were treated very differently. The Indian team went straight into Imhotep's tomb, while the Middle Continent team was blocked outside by a dense, seemingly endless army of mummies.
This is Imhotep's army of undead creatures, and the Imhotep High Priest of these undead creatures is no pushover either.
Li Ling also encountered these undead creatures in "The Mummy: Three Dragon Emperors," but at that time, as the Dragon Emperor, he had his own undead army, which could easily cripple these undead creatures.
However, now, with the undead army holding them back, it will take a lot of effort for them to break into Imhotep's tomb. This makes the members of the Middle Continent team a little anxious, after all, they are already at a negative 6,000 points!
If we cannot stop the Indian team from completing their mission and killing the enemy, they will be annihilated by the God of the Main God when they return to the Main God Space!
Some of the anxious members of the Central Continent team were unaware that the Grand Strategist Chu had already left them a way out. Even if they couldn't keep the Indian Continent team, they could still find other side quests in this world to obtain enough reward points and side quests.
Just like when they return to the world of Ju-on and eliminate other ghosts and monsters.
Since Imhotep exists in this horror movie world, there are likely other creatures in other countries as well, though we don't know what they are or how powerful they are.
For example... the boss in The Mummy 2, The Mummy Returns, is the Scorpion King. He's even more powerful than Imhotep, so naturally he'd be worth a lot of reward points and side quests.
As for the mysterious existence in other countries, that remains to be explored.
Of course, this backup plan was prepared by Chu Xuan. With Li Ling's abilities, the Indian team has no chance of escaping.
He could even choose not to abandon the newcomers in the desert oasis and travel alone to Imhotep's tomb to wipe out the Indian team, but in doing so, he would lose the meaning of the team, and his role as captain would be meaningless.
Just as the members of the Central Continent Team were getting anxious, a tremor and sound suddenly came from the distance of the desert, followed by the appearance of a dark cavalry force of tens of thousands of people!
Leading the way was none other than Chu, the Grand Strategist of the Central Continent Team. This cavalry force, numbering over ten thousand, consisted of descendants of the Pharaoh's guards, whose generations had taken it upon themselves to prevent Imhotep from being born and causing havoc.
The Pharaoh's guards, descendants of his own, were destined enemies with Imhotep's undead army, and they clashed directly at the battlefield.
One is a team of living warriors, not only with extremely strong physical abilities but also equipped with the modern firearms; the other is a special creature called a mummy, who knows no fatigue, death, or pain.
The two sides are evenly matched, and a chaotic battle ensues!
Chu Xuan rejoined the team, and the group took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Imhotep's tomb.
When the group reached the deepest part of the tomb, they encountered the members of the Indian Team, as well as the undead creature, High Priest Imhotep!
Although the two sides never clashed, the members of the Indian team were easily recognizable and conspicuous in this tomb inhabited only by undead creatures.
The undead high priest Imhotep is also easy to recognize: bald, middle-aged, somewhat handsome, and bears a striking resemblance to Imhotep from the mummy horror movie.
This is an evil undead creature, and also an undead creature obsessed with love.
The resurrection ceremony of Imhotep is underway here. The captain of the Indian team, the handsome monk Shiva Gan, is holding a scripture and watching the altar with tension and eagerness.
Neither side needs much time or effort; they should just take action!
The Middle-earth team must stop them from completing their mission and resurrect Imhotep's lover!
"snort!"
