Chapter 233 The Powerful Mummy Guards!

"But if you go to deal with Imhotep, wouldn't we lose an important fighting force?"

Zheng Zha was having a headache. He didn't want Lin Yu to deal with Imhotep, as it would turn their big advantage into a small one. But Lin Yu seemed to have made up his mind, which left Zheng Zha feeling helpless.

"Don't worry, even without me, the Central Continent team is still stronger than the Indian Continent team. I'll summon a few more mummy guards for you, and defeating the Indian Continent team won't be a problem."

"Sigh, okay, then be careful."

Zheng Zha sighed and finally had no choice but to agree.

There was no other way; Lin Yu was no ordinary team member. He was not only the strongest player on the team but had also made significant contributions. He couldn't force Lin Yu to obey, so he had no choice but to agree.

The other veterans obviously didn't want to lose Lin Yu as a fighting force either, but even Zheng Zha couldn't persuade them, so they could only remain silent.

As for the newcomers, they had no right to offer advice, so they wisely kept quiet. Even Qin Zhuiyu, who was all looks and no brains, realized after the last incident that she was just an ordinary woman in this place and could not influence other people's decisions, so she also wisely kept quiet.

Since summoning the mummy guards requires mummy powder, the group decided to go to the city's museum first to obtain a mummy.

However, upon arriving at the museum, they saw a man in black talking to the curator, and everyone immediately realized that this man in black must be the leader of the tomb keepers.

"Which one is the messenger of God?"

The leader of the tomb keepers seemed to recognize Lin Yu and his companions, so he came over and respectfully inquired.

Lin Yu took a step forward.

"Your Excellency, you said you came to eliminate Imhotep, so why did you release him?"

The tomb keeper was clearly questioning him, but his tone was very respectful, indicating that the power Lin Yu had displayed last time was still quite intimidating.

"Human beings are greedy and covet the treasures of the City of the Dead. Imhotep's resurrection is inevitable. Even if we bury him with the Book of the Sun, we cannot truly kill him. He will one day rise again and bring disaster to the world."

"We have been sent by the gods to completely destroy Imhotep, but this requires Imhotep to be resurrected first."

Lin Yu made up a reason to answer the leader of the tomb guardians' question.

"I see. How can we help you?"

Whether the leader of the tomb keepers believed it or not is unknown, but he was indeed willing to help.

"Irhotep has a group of henchmen with extraordinary strength. My companions will deal with them, but we need to find them first."

"I understand. We, the Gravekeepers, will find Imhotep's minions for you."

"Thank you very much."

"This is our duty."

The leader of the tomb guardians was very cooperative, but Lin Yu knew very well that the other party did not really believe his words, and might even suspect that they were Imhotep's henchmen. They were only cooperating temporarily because they had not yet figured out the situation and were wary of his supernatural power.

But that's enough, since we really are going to deal with Imhotep, so there's no need to worry about them turning against us.

Thanks to the cooperation of the tomb guardians, the museum curator generously took out a mummy, which Lin Yu crushed. He then put most of the fragments into a food pouch, leaving only a small portion on the ground.

Then Lin Yu took out the Necronomicon and recited the incantation to summon the mummy guards in ancient Egyptian. As he recited the incantation, Lin Yu also poured a large amount of magic power into the incantation.

In the few days since he obtained the Necronomicon, Lin Yu had used other spells, so he had some understanding of the Necronomicon.

By chanting the incantation while channeling magic power, one can use spells from the scriptures. The more magic power channeled, the stronger and more effective the spell will be.

This should be a unique ability of high-level items like the Book of the Dead.

If a mage wants to increase the power of their spells, they can only learn more knowledge, study relevant techniques, and improve their control over magic power. Only in this way can they increase the power of their spells.

As for inputting extra magic power when casting spells, it can indeed increase the power, but the cost-effectiveness is extremely low. Inputting more than double the magic power may not even increase the power by 10%, so it is completely unnecessary.

But with the Book of the Dead, it's different. With double the magic power, it can increase the power by at least 50% to 60%, making it a god-tier artifact for mages.

With these two scriptures, a mage can improve their strength without even studying magic; they can simply enhance their magical power through meditation—it couldn't be easier.

Of course, Lin Yu would not give up studying magic just because he had these two scriptures. He naturally understood the principle that external things can be relied upon but not relied upon.

As Lin Yu finished chanting the incantation, three fully armed mummy guards clad in armor and wielding weapons appeared before everyone.

"Cheng Xiao, you try out the strength of these three mummies."

Lin Yu spoke up.

Using Cheng Xiao's strength to test the strength of the mummy guards is just right.

"no problem."

Cheng Xiao readily agreed, as he was also very interested in these mummy guards.

The group found an open space, and then Lin Yu ordered the mummy guards to attack Cheng Xiao.

Everyone thought Cheng Xiao could easily deal with the three mummy guards, since he had easily taken down the senior members of the Indian team. The mummy guards weren't considered strong in the movie; even O'Connor, an ordinary person, could kill them. Even if it was due to the protagonist's luck, it was enough to show that the mummy guards weren't strong.

But when the battle began, everyone was quite surprised. The three mummy guards were incredibly fast, moving like lightning. Such speed was something that ordinary people could not achieve.

Moreover, the mummy guards seemed to possess considerable combat intelligence, capable of using some combat techniques and even cooperating with each other, which meant that Cheng Xiao could only barely hold them off for the time being.

[Not bad, it wasn't for nothing that I lost several times more magic power.]

Watching the battle unfold, Lin Yu felt very satisfied.

Cheng Xiao has switched to cultivation and now possesses two C-grade equipment pieces, making him much stronger than when he first appeared in the original work. He is roughly at the early stage of the third rank. The mummy guard's strength is between the early and middle stages of the second rank, but with his fearless nature and combat intelligence, he can suppress Cheng Xiao for a certain period of time.

Mummy guards are only considered low-level summoning spells in the Book of the Dead, but if they're low-level, they're already pretty good. What level can high-level ones reach?

All I can say is that the Book of the Dead is truly amazing.

After hundreds of moves, Cheng Xiao became familiar with the mummy guards' attack patterns, found an opening, and sliced ​​off one mummy's head with a single sword stroke. Taking down one, the remaining two were even easier, and the battle was completely over in about ten moves.

Although the battle was over, Cheng Xiao was also quite exhausted. Facing three powerful and fearless monsters, he dared not be careless in the slightest, so he had consumed a lot of his true qi and energy.
