Infinity, our Zhongzhou team has a bright future.

Chapter 80 Gravekeeper

When the familiar, which resembled a hawk, spoke in human language, chaos erupted within the group of men in black.

"The eagle is speaking?! Has Ra manifested?"

"Ra?! Look at what's happening here, it must be evil witchcraft."

"Holy Horus, bless the people of the Pharaoh."

"Shut up!" the leader of the men in black shouted, stopping the commotion in the group.

He then said to the eagle familiar controlled by Luo Li, "We are the gravediggers. We came to Cairo to rescue our compatriots. Considering your help just now, I advise you to leave this place as soon as possible."

After saying that, the leader of the men in black pulled on the reins, controlling his black horse to gallop towards the city center, and the other men in black immediately followed.

Luo Li controlled her familiar to land on Zheng Zha's head again, urging, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and chase after them to help! This is a great opportunity to get closer to the plot forces!"

Zheng Zha and the others then realized what was happening and immediately gave chase. To the astonishment of the leader of the men in black, the group actually managed to catch up with the galloping horses on foot.

At this moment, Luo Li controlled her familiar to land on the shoulder of the leader of the men in black. "We need to find out what happened in Cairo. You need to rescue our compatriots in Cairo. So how about we cooperate for now?"

The leader of the men in black glanced at the relaxed Central Continent Team members, who seemed to still have energy left. He recalled the scene of these people easily dealing with the Death Soldier just now, and knew that if they had any ill intentions, they wouldn't need to say so much to him.

"can."

Seeing that the leader of the men in black had relented, Luo Li asked the question from before, "Then it's been a pleasure working together. You can call me Luo Li, the captain of the Central Continent Team. Now, can you tell me what happened in Cairo City?"

“Ades Bay, leader of the gravediggers. We gravediggers don’t know much about the situation in Cairo either, only that we’ve received word that the power of Anubis, the god of death, has manifested here.”

...Anubis...the power of death...it can't be such a coincidence...Luo Li remembered the Bible of the Dead that was taken away by the Indian team.

"Uh... I mean, just hypothetically, if someone obtained the Bible of the Dead, could it cause the current situation in Cairo?"

Faced with Luo Li's hypothesis, Ades Bay immediately rejected it, "That's impossible. The Bible of the Dead is in the City of the Dead, and it has been guarded by us tomb keepers for generations..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ades Bay remembered that Lori had once asked him why the gravedigger was in Cairo instead of guarding Hamunaptra, the city of the dead.

"Is this related to you?" Adez Bay's hand stealthily reached for the curved knife at his waist.

"We didn't do it! Let me explain!"

Seeing that the newly established cooperative relationship was about to break down, Luo Li hurriedly explained, while also smearing the Indian team as a depraved group that committed all kinds of evil.

"Our Central Continent Team is a member of the Hidden Church, a team dedicated to dealing with traitors and fallen ones."

I came to Egypt to deal with a traitorous squad known as the Indian Team.

A few days ago, our Central Continent team caught up with them in Hamunaptra, the city of the dead.

After a brief exchange, we successfully killed one of their members and seized a scripture called the Sun Bible from them.

But they also took a black book with them when they escaped, a book called the Bible of the Dead. By the way, we learned the names of these two books from a mummy resurrected by the Indian team.

That mummy, I think, was named Imhotep. We've sealed it away, you know….”

Upon hearing that forbidden name, Adez Bay whispered, "Imhotep?! He's back from the dead?!"

"Uh...you guys call that inhuman, ghostly appearance resurrection?"

Luo Li gave a brief description of Imhotep's appearance, and after hearing it, Adez Bay confirmed that Imhotep had indeed been resurrected.

“Imhotep…the Bible of the Dead, and those soldiers of death, it seems that the traitor you speak of, the Fallen One, has obtained the power of Anubis through the Bible of the Dead.”

What Ades Bay couldn't understand was why Anubis, as the judge of the underworld and the guardian of souls, should not interfere in human affairs, but instead unleashed his divine power this time.

Before Ades Bay could come up with a solution, the sounds of fighting came from ahead, mixed with cries for help and screams.

"All hands on deck! Charge!" Ades Bay gripped his scimitar, spurred his horse, and charged into the battlefield.

"It's Chief Ades! That's great!"

The gravediggers, who were fighting against the Grim Reaper soldiers, were greatly encouraged when they saw Ades Bay appear, and for a time they actually managed to suppress the Grim Reaper soldiers.

After briefly assessing the situation, Ades pointed in the direction he had come from and shouted, "There are no enemies here! Withdraw from Cairo from this side!"

Ades then joined the battle, and during the fight, he asked the leader of the group of gravediggers about the situation.

After learning that there were still many residents who could not be rescued near the museum in the city center, and that the other gravediggers were holding off the Grim Reaper soldiers and a group of strange foreigners, he shouted to the familiar that had landed on the roof not far away: "My men have found the traitor you are looking for, right in the museum ahead!"

Luo Li, who had overheard the entire conversation, knew that Ades' true intention was to get the Central Continent Team to help him rescue people, so she said directly, "There are quite a few enemies, and we may have to retreat at any time. I hope you will also prepare for the retreat in advance."

After saying that, Luo Li controlled her familiar to fly towards Zheng Zha and the others, informing them to do their best to help the tomb keeper rescue people.

The young monk Shiva Ganten, who noticed the Death Soldiers being rapidly eliminated, saw the Middle-earth team cooperating with the Gravekeepers through the Death Soldiers' eyes.

"The gravedigger of the Central Continent Team has arrived just in time. Arot, Imani, come with me to fight the enemy. Shenai, protect yourself."

Werewolf Arot didn't want to die in vain. Despite the mysterious pressure emanating from the little monk Shiva Gantian, he asked, "Captain, are we three no match for the Central Continent Team? Do we need to use our trump card?"

The young monk Shiva Gantian pondered for a moment and felt that what Arot said made sense, but he was unwilling to reveal his trump card before the final battle. "Let's try it first and see if we can cooperate with the Death Legion to force back the Central Continent Team. If it doesn't work, it's not too late to use our trump card."

Upon hearing this, Arrot and Imani exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with confidence. The captain had relented. They would put on a show first, then use their trump card to catch the Central Continent team off guard!

Full of confidence, the two followed the young monk Shiva Ganten out of the museum. Outside, under the young monk's command, the Death Legion had already driven the residents of Cairo to other locations, clearing the way for the upcoming battle.

After all, for the young monk Shiva Ganten, those residents were precious offerings, and it would be a waste if they died in the aftermath of the battle.
