Chapter 221: Demons Descend, Then (Request Monthly Tickets! Request Subscription!)

【Ding!】

【Main Quest: Eliminate the Fully Revived Undead High Priest Imhotep! Reward: One C-Rank Side Quest Plot, 3000 Points】

【Note: This horror film is in Team Battle mode. Ten days ago, the Senzhou Team arrived in this world. Seven days ago, the Donghai Team arrived. Three days from now, the Zhongzhou Team will arrive.】

【Kill members of other Lunhui teams… Gene Lock not yet activated…】

"Only three more days until Zhongzhou Team arrives? It seems the Main God considers the gap between our two teams quite significant."

Gazing at the text displayed on his wristwatch, a man in a black trench coat murmured thoughtfully.

Around him stood seven or eight other figures dressed in black—men and women, mostly Asian—with visible, powerful auras radiating from their bodies, clearly not ordinary people.

Demon Team!

Correct. This horror film's team battle has begun. The Demon Team, as the second-to-last team to arrive, has been teleported by the Main God into the world of The Mummy.

At this moment, they stood inside a dim, cramped room with no furniture—only a heavy iron door, badly painted and peeling, and a small window two meters above the ground, barred with thick iron rods, through which the only light entered.

Outside the Demon Team's protective barrier sat a blond youth, head bowed, his hands and feet shackled with heavy chains, his hair and beard long and matted, his clothing ragged and torn—he clearly had been imprisoned for many days.

Clearly, from the above description, the Demon Team has taken Zhongzhou Team's script, and their arrival point is the prison where the protagonist O'Connell is held in the film.

"I didn't expect our mission would place us on the protagonist's side—that's rare. I wonder what Zhongzhou Team's objective is. If there's no conflict, maybe we can try cooperating."

The speaker was an Asian youth with dyed "Zang'ai Family" hair color—this was the copy of Cheng Xiao, replicated into the Demon Team's Main God space when Zhongzhou Team was nearing completion of the Ju Yan world mission.

To date, he had endured two horror films alongside Fu Zha, gradually accepting his identity as a copy, yet still harbored an indescribable emotion toward the original Zhongzhou Team. If possible, he truly did not wish to fight them.

"I doubt it."

At that moment, a Caucasian man with relatively soft features suddenly spoke: "Based on the Main God's past patterns, Zhongzhou Team's mission almost certainly conflicts with the other three teams—or is outright opposite. Unless they abandon their reward, they must fight Zhongzhou Team."

The man's name was Tom, one of the Demon Team's psychic controllers, also possessing an enhancement similar to Magneto's. He was said to have one-eighth Chinese ancestry and had long admired Chinese culture.

Whether in the original or this altered state, Tom had once aided Copy Zheng Zha and never participated in any bullying of new members—he was one of the few sane individuals in the original Demon Team, otherwise Fu Zha would never have spared him.

"To be honest, I'm more concerned about Senzhou and Donghai right now."

Copy Zheng Zha's lips twitched suddenly: "Remember last team battle? That idiot from the Tian Shen Team said Senzhou Team is a pure breeder squad."

"The Main God rates them low, but their two main fighters are intriguing, and they possess a large stockpile of powerful exchange items. If Donghai Team has no hidden cards, they may not stand a chance against Senzhou. If they've already clashed, our reward points are gone."

Fu Zha's tone was casual; the other Demon Team members took it for granted—this confidence stemmed from absolute faith in their own strength.

Like the transformed Zhongzhou Team, the Demon Team had also grown far stronger.

For instance, Fu Zha, due to Wu Xian's interference, began at a far higher starting point than his standard-state self. Later, to protect Loli and resist Lainhart's oppression, his upgrade speed matched that of his standard-state counterpart.

Now, Fu Zha had not only developed his Gene Lock to the fourth stage but, under Fu Chu's guidance, had followed Zheng Zha's original enhancement path.

Saiyan bloodline, Qian Hexagram Art… With these two abilities capable of fusing diverse energy bloodlines, his power already surpassed the standard-state Demon Zheng Zha of Bio-2, and the emergence of 【Primordial Chaos】 was imminent.

As for the other Demon Team members, since Fu Zha no longer harbored hatred, he treated these fellow copies with considerable care.

After recognizing them as companions, he shared the method to re-enter previous horror films to farm reward points and side quest plots.

Instantly, the entire Demon Team went into overdrive, nearly working day and night, entering past horror worlds to farm points.

Although Fu Zha took the lion's share, the leftovers still allowed ordinary members to profit handsomely, and their strength surged rapidly under sufficient resource supply.

Among them, the three newest recruits from the last horror film—Wang Chaozong, Zhu Peng, and Du Gu Feng—were the most reckless, approaching their missions with a death-defying mindset.

As a result, their power grew fastest, surpassing most veteran members. Except for Team Leader Fu Zha and the freak Copy Zhao Zhui, no one dared claim they could defeat any one of the three.

As for Copy Chu Xuan… no one knew, and no one dared investigate his true strength—this man never used his fists to kill; a single thought could reduce all his enemies to ash.

In some ways, he was even more terrifying than Fu Zha and Copy Zhao combined!

Hummmmm—

At that moment, the Main God's protective time ended, and the Demon Team officially entered the plot of The Mummy.

The O'Connell seated on the floor showed no surprise at the sudden appearance of so many people—as if it were expected—clearly, the Main God had already assigned identities to the Demon Team.

【Tom, Amyia.】

Fu Zha did not immediately approach the protagonist but called out two team members' names within the mental network.

【Don't worry, Leader. Give us five minutes—we'll pinpoint Donghai and Senzhou Teams' locations!】

Tom smiled confidently, then clasped hands with the black-haired European woman beside him, as if preparing to show affection.

Immediately, two powerful psychic waves spread outward, then merged skillfully into one, radiating across the surroundings.

Correct. Besides Tom, the Demon Team had another psychic controller. Each alone possessed formidable psychic power; together, they broke through the limit—few psychic controllers below the fourth stage could match them.

The other Demon Team members knew this well, so they waited silently.

Yet they failed to notice that Fu Chu, who had remained silent throughout, had a flicker of strange white light pass across his glasses the moment the Main God's protective barrier vanished.

【Found it! Donghai Team is in…】

Tom's voice cut off mid-sentence in the mental network, as if the signal had been severed.

The Demon Team stared at Tom in confusion, seeing that he and the woman beside him, Amyia, now bore concentric purple rings like ripples in their eyes.

【Found you!】

A cold voice suddenly rang in their minds. Fu Zha's expression changed instantly, and Copy Zhao Zhui vanished from the prison.

The next second, a massive fist wrapped in blue flame shattered through the ceiling and crashed down.
