47: Chapter 47 Tragic Death, Despair

"Wuwu... Baobao, I'm begging you for a favor," Cuihua said with tearful eyes.

"Tell me."

"Help me plead with him; I didn't mean it that way."

Wang Baobao said thoughtfully, "Sister Cuihua, I understand. Actually, I already explained to Li Mumu on the way. You just missed one word earlier."

"What?"

"What you actually wanted to say was 'big caterpillar.'"

"..."

While the two were chatting, Li Mumu executed over a dozen more combo hits.

Li Youqian couldn't help but praise, "That combo is so cool. Haven't seen you in a few days, and Brother Mumu's strength has improved a lot again."

Dongfang Xue nodded without speaking, thinking to herself that it seemed he really had been practicing hard during this time regarding the combat techniques she mentioned to him last time, rather than just filming videos and acting like a hooligan.

In fact, Dongfang Xue was wrong, and Wang Baobao was right.

The reason Li Mumu mastered the aerial combo was precisely the effect of the Kidney-Nourishing Waist-Strengthening Pill. His miraculous hand speed, unpredictable postures, and powerful waist strength allowed his body to adapt to various high-difficulty combat techniques.

Boom!

Li Mumu's final blow landed.

"Ah!!!"

The Scorpion King died, dropping equipment and items all over the ground.

Every member of Li Mumus Team leveled up once!!!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for reaching Silver 5. You have gained one chance to draw from the Silver Prize Pool.]

"The Scorpion King made such a big scene; I thought he'd be so badass. I didn't expect him to be such a weakling in the end," Li Mumu said, panting.

Li Youqian stepped forward, searching for the golden abacus among the equipment and items on the ground while smiling at Li Mumu:

"No matter how big the scene, it's still a Silver Boss. Its strength is at most similar to a Crypt Lord. Now that Brother Mumu's combat techniques are skilled, combined with powerful skills and level, being able to solo the Scorpion King is exaggerated, but not too outrageous."

Li Youqian searched the ground for a long time but found no sign of the golden abacus.

"Strange, why isn't it here?"

"Not there?"

Hearing this, Li Mumu looked around to help Li Youqian search and found a golden treasure chest not far away.

"Young Master Li, could it be in the treasure chest?"

Having said that, Li Mumu took it upon himself to open the golden treasure chest.

With a flash of golden light, a Gold-grade bow appeared in Li Mumu's hand.

yu xi: Gold-Silver grade, dual special attributes. First, increases crit rate by 15%. Second, any arrows shot through yu xi have reduced weight and increased speed.

"Good stuff, but it's not the golden abacus either," Li Mumu said.

Afterward, Li Mumu handed yu xi to Dongfang Xue. According to the team rules, this weapon belonged to her.

"Thank you!" Dongfang Xue said joyfully.

"You're welcome."

Li Mumu responded with a smile, then said to Captain Gu, "Captain Gu, your theory was wrong. Didn't you say the golden abacus would be on whichever path was harder?"

Gu Yuehua frowned slightly and murmured under her breath, "Yes, the golden abacus should have been dropped by the Scorpion King. Could it be... on the Mummy's side..."

"Oh no!!!"

At the same time.

In the other burial chamber, Shen Fei was being strangled by a Mummy wrapped in bandages, and corpses were scattered at their feet.

Among them, Sima Dan's death was extremely tragic; his eyes were gouged out, his limbs torn apart, and his intestines exposed.

The next moment.

The Mummy snapped Shen Fei's neck, emptying his health bar, and casually threw him to the ground.

"There are still 9 left in the tomb. Interesting... to think you could kill Little Three. What a pity, Little Three was the one who served me best over all these years. If I don't kill you all, I'll feel a bit sorry for him."

With that, the Mummy gradually vanished into the darkness, beginning its night of slaughter!!!

The scene returned to Li Mumu's side.

Everyone was rushing back at full speed.

After being reminded by Li Mumu just now, Gu Yuehua immediately tried to contact Shen Fei and Sima Dan via satellite phone, but received no response.

At this, Gu Yuehua's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly led her three teammates to the rescue.

Seeing this, Li Mumus Team followed closely behind.

Along the way, everyone found things becoming increasingly strange. The monsters they had encountered before were nowhere to be found. The tomb tunnels were empty, leaving only the sound of their nine pairs of footsteps.

"Captain Gu, have you still not contacted Shen Fei and the others?"

Dongfang Xue's keen intuition already sensed an approaching crisis, as if they were being watched by someone. This feeling was very oppressive, making her breathing shallow and uncomfortable.

Behind her, Li Mumu also noticed this, looking toward Gu Yuehua in hopes of hearing some good news.

But things went against their wishes...

Gu Yuehua shook her head. "No news. There's only static coming from that side."

"Could it be a bad signal, or maybe the satellite phone was dropped while clearing the stage?"

Liu Lin's thinking was quite naive; he liked to think on the bright side of everything.

Of course, this was also because he wasn't familiar with Shen Fei and the others, whereas those who were wouldn't think that way.

"No, Brother Fei never makes such low-level mistakes. They must have run into trouble," a Sharpshooter from Captain Gu's team said seriously.

But just then.

"Watch out!"

Two long white cloths suddenly dropped from above the Sharpshooter's head, binding and snatching her away in an instant.

"Formation!"

Everyone assumed their combat positions.

Gu Yuehua shouted loudly.

"Priest, heal!!!"

"First Class Skill: Holy Heal..."

The skill was only halfway through its cast, and only a second had passed, when the Sharpshooter's health bar was instantly emptied.

Hiss...

Everyone gasped.

They saw a Mummy biting the Sharpshooter's neck, sucking her fresh blood and turning her into a dried corpse.

Although the Sharpshooter's death was horrifying, what truly made Li Mumu and the others feel despair was the next scene.

[Character]: Mummy

[Class]: ***

[Rank]: Strongest King

[Level]: 70

[Strength]: ***

[Agility]: ***

[Constitution]: ***

[Spirit]: ***

[Class Skills]: ***

[Talent Skills]: ***

[Special Attributes]: ***

"How is this possible?!"

"Why would a King Boss exist in a Black Secret Realm? The Mummy... shouldn't it be a Silver Boss???"

"I don't know..."

Gu Yuehua was completely stunned. Since her successful class awakening, she had never seen a King Boss, let alone a King-level Professional.

And now, such an existence was right before her eyes. What should she do? Fight or flee?

Fighting meant certain death.

Fleeing offered slim hope.

"Run!!!"

Just as everyone was lost in despair, Li Mumu dug his fingers hard into his own flesh, letting the sharp pain replace his immense fear to loudly wake everyone up.

Hearing this, everyone turned and ran without hesitation.

But Silver was Silver after all; facing a King Boss, cutting them was as easy as cutting tofu.

The next moment.

With a slight movement from the Mummy, the Lightning Mage from Gu Yuehua's team had their health bar cleared instantly, their head falling to the ground as blood splattered everywhere.

Li Mumu's face was filled with shock. He thought to himself that since things had come to this, they should save whoever they could; they couldn't stay huddled together.

"Split... split up and run!!!"
