Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 533 Reincarnation - The Mummy (Legend of Gods and Demons)
The blinding sun scorched the desert, and the heatwave distorted the outline of the distant pyramids.

The members of the Zhongzhou team opened their eyes one after another, their feet resting on scorching yellow sand.

"The world of mummies." Fang Yu squinted, raised his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight, and glanced at the majestic pyramids in the distance.

He turned to face his teammates, his tone crisp and decisive: "The main objective this time is to revive our former teammates; as for the Senzhou team's team battles..."

A cold smile curled at the corner of his lips. "Not among our main targets, if they dare interfere."

Conqueror's Haki suddenly erupted! The surrounding sand grains were shaken into the air by the invisible force, and the newcomers' knees went weak under the pressure of this aura!
"I will withstand the debuff that gives me a higher score from the main god and wipe them out!"

"Um..." Zhang Ming swallowed, "Isn't team battle great? You can get a lot of reward points. I see that killing a Gene Lock member can get a B-level side quest and 7000 reward points. Those rewards..."

"Shut up," Fang Yu interrupted without turning his head. "I don't want to repeat myself to you."

Zhang Ming quickly apologized, "It was my fault, Captain."

Lin Xiaoyu was furious. She muttered to herself, "Where did your usual arrogance go? Why are you behaving like a little docile treasure now?"

"Heh, crazy woman, I can't be bothered with you!"

At this moment, the newlyweds, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, finally stood up.

After being subjected to the usual three rounds of questioning and intimidation, and finally accepting reality, the man introduced himself.

"My name is Seppi, and I'm a Ripo~"

Li Yingqi frowned. "What is Ruipo?"

"That's right, Yoyo, and you know that Sepi is totally weak!"

"Stop." Zhao Yingkong gestured. "From now on, speak less in the team."

Seppi shrank his neck and nodded, "Yes, I understand."

Fang Yu suddenly looked into the distance: "Someone's coming."

On the horizon, a caravan of camels is slowly approaching.

The white man leading the group, wearing an adventure hat, was none other than Richard O'Connell, the movie's protagonist.

Fang Yu strode forward and, under Richard O'Connell's wary gaze, said, "We are tourists from the East, and we are lost. Could you take us to the city?"

Richard sized up the group of tourists. His intuition told him that this group of tourists was unusual, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

After all, if someone were a tomb raider or some other bad guy, walking around in this desert without even a camel by their side, only a fool would do that.

“Alright then, I can take you to Hamunaptra, which is the nearest city nearby, but it’s not a safe place there.”

“I know.” Fang Yu waved his hand impatiently to interrupt. “Mummy, scarab beetle, Book of the Dead, enough with the nonsense, let’s set off now.”

Richard O'Connell was taken aback, then turned to Evelyn and muttered, "What is this Asian guy saying?"

While the team was preparing the camels, Li Yingqi walked to Fang Yu's side and whispered, "I sensed an energy fluctuation three kilometers to the southeast. It should be the Senzhou team."

Fang Yu's mental network knew the whereabouts of the Senzhou team five minutes earlier than Li Yingqi's. He shrugged and said, "As long as they don't court death."

Zhao Yingkong suddenly interjected, "Should we take the initiative?"

“No need.” Fang Yu jumped onto the camel. “Resurrecting teammates is the priority, but if the Senzhou team dares to appear in Hamunaptra, then I’ll have to ask the God of War to give me some extra points.”

The camel caravan began its journey into the depths of the desert. Under the scorching sun, Fang Yu's silhouette cast a long shadow on the sand dunes, resembling a sharp blade drawn from its sheath.

The newlyweds followed silently behind, none daring to voice any further objections. In the shadows of the distant pyramids, several blurry figures observed the group through a shared vision gained from a mental scan.

"Captain, is that the reincarnator from the Central Continent Team? He doesn't look special, just like a reward point."

The man wearing the skull necklace revealed a mouthful of yellow teeth: "Last time, the Southern Flame Continent team got some information from who-knows-where saying that the Central Continent team had been wiped out many times, so there shouldn't be any strong members in their team."

"Let's go! Follow them! Let's see if they're going to grit their teeth and do the mission. Once the scarabs surround them, we'll launch a surprise attack!"

At this moment, a steampunk-style girl with a lip piercing and smoky eye makeup said, "The Central Continent Team arrived three days later than us. Are you sure the Central Continent Team is weak?"

The man with the skull necklace snorted coldly: "The claim that the later they arrive, the stronger their team is still unclear. Besides, if they were really that powerful and could arrive three days late, we should have been immediately located by a mental scan the moment they arrived, and then we could have killed them one by one. Why would we be the ones secretly following them now?"

"Could it be that the Central Continent Team has become so strong that they look down on the team battle reward points and the rewards from the main storyline?"

"Ah!"

Fang Yu, who was riding a camel, sneezed.

"Who's talking about me? It can't be the Morizu team, can it?"

------

Cao Cao angrily slammed his meal upside down on the table!

"You! Say that again?"

"Report! Yuan Shao's 300,000-strong army has been routed, with over 10,000 soldiers surrendering!"

The bamboo slip in Xun Yu's hand fell to the ground. The usually composed strategist's fingertips trembled. "It's over. Is another Dong Zhuo going to appear?"

"Impossible!" Xu Chu's roar made everyone's ears tingle. "Yan Liang and Wen Chou are both warriors capable of defeating ten thousand men, how could they suffer such a crushing defeat?"

Cao Cao suddenly raised his hand, and the tent fell into an instant silence.

"What do you think? Should I continue advancing towards the porridge field, or should I reduce my supplies and return to base?"

"My lord!" Cheng Yu suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "We must unite with Yuan Shao!" His withered fingers traced the map. "Look, the salt administration in Dazhou is spreading like a plague. Many of our soldiers have already fled to Dazhou."

"Fine, fine, fine!" Cao Cao gritted his teeth. "I love my people and my soldiers so much, yet someone still deserts?"

None of the advisors dared to reveal the truth.

Who joins the army without just wanting a meal?
Cao Cao's soldiers were always ready to fight; they really didn't eat for nothing.

Running away? That's what smart people do.

Cao Cao slammed the map onto the table. "I'll draft an article and have it sent to all the warlords by express courier in a little while!"

Xun Yu quickly unfolded the silk scroll, only to see Cao Cao wielding his brush and splashing ink:
"Gentlemen, please be aware: There is now a wicked Taoist named Fang Yu who, under the guise of magic, bewitches the people, abolishes the salt tax, disrupts the social order, establishes a new state, and incites the common people to make irresponsible remarks about the government. Moreover, his magic is so cunning that even an army of 300,000 could not harm him in the slightest. If this villain is not eliminated, I fear the whole world will be reduced to a turd!"

"Excellent!" Cheng Yu clapped his hands in praise. "This letter from Your Excellency should be stamped with the seal 'Acting on Behalf of Heaven to Punish the Wrongdoers'!"

Three days later, at Yuan Shao's bedside in Ye City.

"Cough cough. Cao Cao actually wants to join forces with me?" Yuan Shao's left cheek still bore the burn mark, his trembling fingers crushing the medicine bowl. "Tell him that my Yuan Shao army will lead the charge! This time, we will break through the city gates of that 'Great Zhou' no matter what! We will take Luoyang into my hands!"

Xu You bowed: "Alright, then tell Cao Cao the truth: should the last part, 'held in Yuan Shao's hands,' be 'Yuan Benchu' or 'Daming'?"

Yuan Shao was so angry he almost fainted. "You idiot!"
