Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 79 Luo Li: Landing? I don't need that function!

Never mind, once my temple-level magic workshop is finished, I'll just sweep through everything.
After instructing the newcomers to be vigilant and not overlook any details, Luo Li went to help Chu Xuan and Li Shuaixi.

As the sun and moon turned and the stars moved, the fifth day quickly arrived.

That day, as Luo Li was setting up the magic workshop with Chu Xuan and Li Shuaixi, Xiao Honglu, one of the newcomers, brought news that an unexpected situation had occurred.

Upon receiving the news, Luo Li immediately took control of the familiar, and then saw several groups of men in black slowly surrounding Cairo from different directions.

Luo Li immediately recognized those people as the tomb keepers from the original story, descendants of the Pharaoh's Guard. Strange, why did they go to Cairo? Shouldn't they be in the City of the Dead, Hamunaptra, under normal circumstances?

Could it be because of the Indian team? Luo Li saw the leader of the gravedigger waving his scimitar to boost morale and felt that this must be a sign that they were planning to have a proper exchange.

So he summoned Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, and others who had been idle for several days, and then told them the news that the tomb keeper had stormed Cairo.

"That's the situation. I plan to have you take this opportunity to go and investigate Cairo."

After listening, Zheng Zha was the first to agree, "Great! It'll be good to get some exercise. I've been so idle these past few days that I feel like I'm rusting all over."

Others followed suit, saying they wanted to go too, but the question was how to get there. What if everything was over by the time they arrived?

"Well, I have a way, but when you come back, you'll have to rely on your own two legs."

Luo Li showed everyone the vehicle she had prepared: a rocket that used Chu Xuan's Moon Spirit Essence as its main body and generated flight power through compressed magic.

Ah... looking at this rocket that was clearly rushed out of production, everyone had second thoughts and turned their attention to Brother Zheng Zha to go first!

Zheng Zha's lips twitched, and he wished he could slap himself twice, but under the polite gazes of everyone, he was the first to sit down.

As everyone was seated and fastened their seatbelts in preparation for launch, Zheng Zha suddenly thought of a question, "Wait! How are we going to land?"

"Landing? This thing doesn't have that function. You'll have to figure it out yourselves once the speed decreases!"

Amidst the horrified expressions of Zheng Zha and the others, Luo Li decisively activated the rocket, instantly propelling them towards Cairo.

Sitting in the front row, Zheng Zha, battling the fierce wind, roared in a fit of impotent rage, "Aaaaaah! Luo Li, you just wait!"

The others clung tightly to their seatbelts, afraid of being blown away.

After about ten minutes of thrilling flight, Zheng Zha and the others jumped off before the rocket crashed into the sand dune. Apart from swallowing a few mouthfuls of sand, no one was injured.

Just as the group was asking each other if they were injured, a hawk-like familiar landed beside them. Luo Li's voice came from within the familiar, "Stop dawdling. The gravedigger stormed into Cairo five minutes ago. Try to enter Cairo and see what happens. If it doesn't work, retreat."

Considering that the familiars who had entered Cairo City had all lost contact, Luo Li repeatedly reminded Zheng Zha and the others to be careful and to run away if things went wrong.

"Okay, Zhan Lan, buff me up, I'll sneak in and check things out myself." Zheng Zha made an agreement with the others, asking them to wait for him outside for five minutes. If he didn't come out, they were to retreat immediately. Then, ignoring the others' advice, he sneaked into Cairo City alone.

As soon as Zheng Zha entered Cairo, he sensed a familiar feeling. Zheng Zha frowned and pondered. He tried to recall when he had had the same feeling before, the feeling of having his life force drained by Kayako's touch. However, because of the protection and blessing of Zhan Lan, his own life force had not yet been lost.

Zheng Zha didn't know what had happened in Cairo City to give him this feeling, but he was certain that with Zhan Lan's protection and blessing, he wouldn't be in danger in the short term.

So Zheng Zha picked up the communicator to call everyone in, but found that the communicator had no signal. Zheng Zha was startled and quickly went back the way he came.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhan Lan and the others again. Fortunately, Cairo City hadn't become a place where you could enter but not leave.

Then, Zheng Zha told everyone about his discovery. Luo Li, who shared her senses with the familiar, guessed that the familiar had gone missing because the magic power that sustained its life activities had been drained by an unknown force, which was why the attacker had not been found.

"Now that we know what happened, let Zhan Lan bless everyone with protective protection before we go in together to investigate the enemy's situation. Remember, this operation is mainly about gathering intelligence, so try to avoid fighting with the Indian team. If there's an opportunity, try to make contact with those gravediggers. Maybe they know why Cairo City has become like this."

Under Luo Li's arrangement, Zhan Lan cast protective blessings on herself, Zheng Zha, Qi Tengyi, Zhao Yingkong, Ming Yanwei, Zhang Jie, and Luo Li's familiar before they all entered Cairo City together, led by Zheng Zha.

Upon entering Cairo, despite being mentally prepared, Qi Tengyi and Zhan Lan still felt extremely uncomfortable. For them, the darkness and the atmosphere of death permeating Cairo were too heavy.

However, Zhan Lan and Qi Tengyi also clearly sensed the locations of the other surviving people in Cairo.

“Zheng Zha, I sense a large number of living people gathering in that direction, and at the same time, several smaller groups of living people are approaching that direction. They should be residents of Cairo and the tomb keepers who arrived not long ago.”

Zhan Lan pointed in different directions and shared her perceptions with everyone. Qi Tengyi said that he also had similar perceptions, but they were not as clear as Zhan Lan's.

The familiar controlled by Luo Li stood atop Zheng Zha's head and asked, "Zhan Lan, where is the nearest life sign to us?"

Zhan Lan confirmed the direction and pointed northeast, "Over there."

"Let's go, catch up with those guys who seem to be gravediggers and ask them what happened in Cairo."

Under Luo Li's command, Zhan Lan led the group to quickly catch up with the men in black who had entered the city not long ago.

And they caught up with the man in black just as he was fighting a pack of wolf-headed, human-bodied monsters.

This was good news for the Central Continent Team. Before Luo Li could speak, Zheng Zha and the others rushed up to help the man in black deal with the wolf-headed, human-bodied monster.

After dealing with the monster, the men in black remained wary of Zheng Zha and his group. One of them, who appeared to be the leader, rode forward and asked, "Who are you? Why are you in Cairo at this time?"

Faced with the leader of the men in black's questioning, Luo Li controlled her eagle familiar to land in front of them, "Are you the guardians of the grave? If so, why don't you go and protect the city of the dead, Hamunaptra, and instead come to Cairo? And weren't those Anubis's Death Legion the ones who attacked you before? Why did they appear in Cairo? And why did they attack you?"

It's really easy to make money off axolotls.
