Chapter 224 The Scripture is in Hand!
"We believe you, please put us down!"
Shaking them so hard they were dizzy, the tomb guardians were already mostly convinced and immediately shouted.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu put them down.
"Imhotep will surely appear, and I need the help of your Tomb Keepers."
"We need to inform the leader."
The tomb keeper said in a trembling voice.
Although he had largely believed Lin Yu's account as the messenger of the gods, this was not a matter he could decide, so he needed to return and report to the leader.
"Then you should go back first."
Lin Yu waved his hand, and the group of people floated back into the air and returned the way they came.
"Are you truly a messenger of God? Was that magic just now?"
After the man in black disappeared into the night, Evelyn, realizing what had happened, immediately rushed to Lin Yu's side.
She was originally a materialist, but after witnessing what she had just seen, her worldview naturally collapsed. However, a new worldview was quickly established, followed by curiosity about Lin Yu's identity and about magic.
"real."
Lin Yu answered confidently, without the slightest hint of guilt. "Isn't the Supreme God a god?"
"Oh, this is simply unbelievable!"
Evelyn got excited and immediately chased after Lin Yu, asking him about the messenger of the gods and magic. Lin Yu couldn't stand it, so he gave O'Connor a look, and O'Connor immediately pulled Evelyn away.
What do you think the success rate of my method is?
Lin Yu looked at Xiao Honglu and asked.
"Very big."
Xiao Honglu was somewhat annoyed, wondering why he hadn't thought of this method.
The reason why the tomb-guarding clan has been able to hold on for thousands of years is naturally because they have faith in their hearts. So, you can start from this aspect, and it will be very easy to subdue them.
"That's good."
Looking at Xiao Honglu's expression, Lin Yu knew what he was thinking and chuckled inwardly.
Xiao Honglu did not fail to come up with this method, but it was overlooked due to his limited understanding.
After all, he had always lived in a modern world where there were no supernatural beings on the surface, so it was naturally difficult for him to consider someone like Lin Yu who used supernatural abilities to fool the natives.
The next morning, the group arrived at their destination, Oasis Market.
The group immediately entered the market to rest and replenish their supplies. After purchasing a large number of camels, they continued their journey towards the city of the dead.
Three days passed quickly, and the group was getting closer and closer to the City of the Dead.
These three days were undoubtedly very difficult for everyone.
O'Connor and his two companions were in a better position, as they had always lived near Egypt and had some experience in conserving energy in the desert.
However, apart from Zhang Jie and Lingdian, the rest of Lin Yu's group had never even been to the desert before. So after riding camels for three days and experiencing the harsh cold and heat of the desert, they were starting to feel the strain.
The experienced ones who had undergone the enhancement were a little better off, but the newcomers couldn't handle it at all. They were so exhausted that they were swaying as they walked, and they almost collapsed from exhaustion.
Another day, as dawn broke and they were almost at their destination, a large group of dozens of people on horseback suddenly emerged from the distant sand dunes. The leader was none other than Benny, O'Connor's former comrade-in-arms and another man who had survived the City of the Dead.
"Hi, good morning, my friend," Benny called out to O'Connell from a distance.
O'Connor remained silent, leading his group closer and closer to the opposing team. Then, the two sides stood in a row, a few meters apart, with only an empty sandy area in front of them.
An American behind Benny asked curiously, "Why are we stopping? Didn't you say we were close to the City of the Dead? If you're going, hurry up and go! What are we doing here?"
Benny said calmly, "My friend, be patient, it'll be quick—"
Behind O'Connor, Eve asked curiously in a low voice, "What are we doing here?"
"Here—waiting for the destination to appear," O'Connor replied in a low voice.
Both the American and Evelyn were puzzled, but since both of them, who had been to the City of the Dead, said so, they could only wait quietly.
Not long after, the sun slowly rose from below the distant sand dunes, and golden morning light shone on the earth. Under the light, a stone ruin slowly appeared on the empty desert plain. This was the legendary city of the dead, Hamunaptra!
After several days of arduous travel, everyone was so excited to finally see their destination that they didn't know what to say. All they could do was urge their mounts onward and speed towards their destination.
"Scriptures...we're here!"
They were about to obtain two A-grade items, and despite facing the resurrected Imhotep the Undead Priest and the Indian Team, the group couldn't contain their excitement.
After entering Hamunaptra, the group and the American team settled in together. Once everything was settled, O'Connor began searching for a passage into the underground, while the Americans also went to find their own. Seeing this, the group discussed it briefly and decided not to go underground with O'Connor and his two companions. They simply instructed them not only to retrieve the Book of the Dead, but also the Book of the Sun beneath the statue of Death.
After all, this part of the story wouldn't have been the same without their participation. They had more important things to do, which was to scout the terrain, occupy advantageous positions, and prepare for the upcoming battle.
As for the distance issue, there was no need to worry. The catacombs were at most a few hundred meters deep, and the distance limit between them and O'Connor was five thousand meters, which they would definitely not exceed. Several hours later, everyone came out of the catacombs one after another. Evelyn and the others successfully obtained the Book of the Sun, while the Book of the Dead was obtained by the Americans first.
"Lin Yu, take a look quickly."
Seeing the Sun Sutra in Evelyn's hand, everyone was eager to see it.
Lin Yu nodded, accepted the Golden Book of the Sun, and then the prompt from the Supreme God echoed in his mind.
"Yes, just as I expected. The Supreme God has indicated that I can learn Light Restoration Spells. Learners need to have an energy cycle. If they understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, no reward points are required. Otherwise, learning each spell consumes one thousand reward points. No side quest points are needed, but you must return to the Supreme God's space to learn. If you possess this book, you can directly use the spells within it."
"Great! Such a thick book, how many spells must it hold!"
Zheng Zha grinned foolishly.
The others were incredibly excited. Although they believed in Lin Yu, it was only a guess before, but now the effects of the scripture were truly confirmed, so how could they not be excited?
"Don't get too excited, or you won't be able to handle it later, because this book has an even bigger surprise in store."
Lin Yu smiled mysteriously.
"An even bigger surprise?"
"That's right, the Golden Book of the Sun is also known as the Resurrection Scripture, and it has the power of resurrection."
"Resurrection? Will it work on us too?"
Zheng Zha asked in disbelief.
