Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

By the time Brook had finished packing his backpack, it was almost noon. Inside Shabak City, he'd spotted several figures. Though they were far away and unclear, they were likely alien warriors. They might have come from Red Name Village, or perhaps they were hunting armored beetles nearby and had just come to Shabak to resupply.

As fellow Marfa monks, they could naturally sense this. However, the number of Marfa monks had become very small. The main force against the monsters still relied on the warriors from other worlds.

Ignore them for now. Brooke went to the back of the clothing store and saw no one around, so he quickly entered the secret passage again. He had to strive to complete the mission today.

Ignoring the scattered zombies in the secret passage, Brook trotted all the way to the first floor of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb. He reached the center of the first floor and initially wanted to look for a new zombie king, but then changed his mind and decided to hurry up and complete the mission, so he went straight to the second floor of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb.

The second floor of the ancient tomb is a U-shaped passage. At the beginning, the width of the passage is narrow, similar to the secret passage of Shabak, and it has basically been cleared just now.

When Brook and Xiaobai pushed forward and turned two corners, the passage became very wide, almost like a large room, and there were more monsters than before. Brook increased the frequency of his attacks, continuously hacking at the monsters. After more than two hours, he finally arrived in front of a cave.

I didn't dare to waste time and went down directly. As soon as I got down, I turned invisible. Then I found a circle of wild boars around me. What's worse is that there are two wedge moths next to them, spitting at Brook and Xiaobai.

Is that so unfortunate? His invisibility was broken, and immediately two lasers shot out, one hitting Xiaobai and the other hitting Brook, while at the same time the wild boars swung their sledgehammers at Xiaobai.

Brook immediately turned around and retreated to the upper floor. Poor Comrade Xiaobai never returned and died.

What should I do? There are electric zombies and wedge moths blocking the door. My invisibility has been broken. I can't handle it.

Summon the skeleton baby again and use a few healing spells to fill up its health.

Brook opened his backpack and checked. He had brought 5 random items with him when he came down before, and he had just cleared the second floor of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb and got 2 more random items. In addition, there were dungeons and return scrolls.

There was only one solution left. Brook thought about it and decided it was feasible. As long as his luck wasn't too bad and he had seven chances, it would be fine. If the random chance ran out, he still had a return scroll. He could just go back to Biqi. He gave it a try.

Come on. Go down first. In the first second, Brook went invisible, and Xiaobai appeared beside him in a flash, leaving the monster hesitant. In the second, the wedge moth's belly was brewing saliva, ready to spit at Brook. Xiaobai hadn't gone invisible, and was about to be hammered by a group of monsters. At the same time, Brook crushed the random teleportation scroll and disappeared before the wedge moth's saliva arrived.

Random teleportation scroll will be randomly teleported within the map.

Brook was still in stealth mode at this time, and as long as the random teleportation scroll did not fly next to the wedge moth, he would be fine.

A moment of darkness, then light again, and Brook was already in the middle of a group of monsters. The monsters couldn't see Brook, but Brook couldn't move at all. The monsters were too dense here, and the position was not good. Random again.

This time, the location was even worse. Not only was he in the middle of a group of monsters, but there was also a Wedge Moth nearby. Just as the Wedge Moth was about to spit out saliva, Brook decisively flew away again.

The position is still not good, continue to be random.

After using five randoms in a row, he finally landed in a satisfactory position. Not far behind Brook was a corner against the wall. Although he was currently surrounded by a circle of monsters, there were no wedge moths near the inner circle of monsters.

Brook stopped, continued to be invisible, and then attacked several wedge moths flying around on the periphery but could not get close to Brook.

After killing the wedge moth, Brook turned around and attacked the black boar behind him. He didn't recruit the skeleton baby, but drank the potion and killed it alone!

We can't summon Xiaobai yet. If we do, he'll be immediately targeted by the surrounding monsters, leaving us no time to use collective invisibility.

You must first clear out the monsters around you. Once you have cleared out some of them and have enough space, you can recruit your baby.

The attack of a normal black boar is 20-26, but this black boar is elite, with an attack of 24-30 and a health of 500. Fortunately, Brook has a very high defense of 7-15, but he still can't withstand the meteor hammer swung by the black boar. He was hit very painfully, losing 20 to 30 health points each time. It seems that the attacks of this kind of boar will cause critical hits.

Even after using Brook's healing technique and advanced golden medicine together, he still couldn't hold on. He decisively drank 4 bottles of sun water and finally killed this elite black boar.

Then I continued to stealthily attack another Red Boar. Unfortunately, it was another Elite Red Boar with 22-29 Attack and 500 HP! No choice but to drink Sun Water and kill it.

There are only more than 10 bottles of this sun water left.

Fortunately, the next few monsters were ordinary. Brook killed the monsters in the corner one by one, and finally cleared a small space. There were only three bottles of Sun Water left. Because there was a scorpion snake monster with a very high attack power of 3-22, he had to use Sun Water.

Brook ran two squares away, but the movement negated his invisibility. The monster behind him immediately spotted his target and took a step toward Brook. Brook immediately became invisible, and the monster, having lost its target, stopped again. The two sides now had a distance of one square.

Brook aimed at the corner in front of him, ran two squares, and then turned invisible. He was already in the corner, and the monster behind him had been pulled away by two squares.

It was time to summon the skeleton baby, Xiaobai. As Xiaobai appeared, the monsters sensed their target and collectively stepped forward, ready to attack. Brook then collectively became invisible, and all around him fell silent.

Invisible Xiaobai faced the horde of monsters face to face. It was finally summoned out safely.

The next step was to kill the monsters one by one. Brook first moved towards the entrance to the third floor. After killing all the monsters there, he moved on to the other direction. The terrain of the entire third floor was very similar to that of the second floor. He did not encounter any leader-level monsters like the corpse kings on the first floor.

As time went by, the monsters on the third floor of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb were gradually cleared out, and Brook had also reached level 22.

22级可以穿道士的职业衣服了。布鲁克从背包取出一件灵魂战衣：防御3-6魔御3-3道术0-2。这是刚击杀妖兽爆到的普通衣服，比自己现在的3-5防御的轻型盔甲强，先穿上。

Look at the time, it’s already past 4 pm, we need to speed up.

After more than half an hour, we finally arrived at the exit of the third floor of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb. It was a downward staircase, and according to the warehouse owner, this exit led to the stone tomb in Tucheng.

The Stone Tomb is located within the earthen city. Situ Haoyun had previously mentioned that the entire tomb is inhabited by wild boars, scorpions, snakes, black maggots, wedge moths, and other monsters. It has seven levels, each with a large map.

I don't know what's going on down there. The mission only requires cleaning the Xiangshi Tomb, not the outside. But since I'm here, I might as well take a look and come back right away.

Brooke walked down the stairs. There wasn't the dense herd of beasts he'd expected, only a few scattered wild boars and black maggots. It felt like someone else had already cleaned up the place.

Since someone had been here before, why didn't they take these steps and enter the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb? Or perhaps they found a better place to level up and so disdained to enter? Or perhaps because the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb was too densely populated with monsters, they entered but couldn't withstand it and retreated?

Brook speculated that the latter possibility was more likely. With the monsters on the third floor of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb cleared out by him, the entrance was no longer congested, and it was likely that warriors from other worlds would pour in in large numbers.

It's a pity that although I have completed the task, I am about to lose this precious place for upgrading. I gain something in one place but lose something in another.

Brooke carefully observed the surrounding terrain again and compared it with the map recorded by Situ Haoyun. This place should be the second floor of the stone tomb. Situ Haoyun did not record the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb, so it seems that he had never stayed there before.

After identifying the surrounding terrain, Brook returned to the Xiangshi Tomb and ran all the way back. By the time he arrived at the Shabak warehouse and found the warehouse owner, there were only 5 minutes left until 10 pm.

"Dear warehouse owner, I have eliminated the monsters in the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb, cleared a passable passage, and completed your task." Brook said politely, waiting to receive his reward.

"Respected Brother Brook of Mafa, thank you very much. We have a batch of urgent goods. Please assist my assistant Amin to go to Tucheng through the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb and make sure to deliver it before sunset (around 6 o'clock)." The warehouse owner did not give the reward immediately, but had a new request.

"Dear warehouse owner, is this another task? You haven't given me the reward for the last task yet." Brook asked.

"No, this is still the same mission. Because we are not sure whether the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb is really accessible, this is just a small final acceptance of the mission." The warehouse owner smiled and answered politely.

No wonder the boss wanted to complete the task before 5 o'clock. It turned out that he had thought about it long ago and left 1 hour for delivery, so that the goods could be delivered to Tucheng before sunset.

"After delivering the goods, do I have to escort your assistant back to Shabak?" Brook said a little unwillingly.

"As soon as the passage is confirmed to be safe, my assistant will return on his own. When he returns, I will expand your personal warehouse and fulfill the reward I promised you." The warehouse owner smiled and said, "So, respected Brother Mafa, please rest assured that if nothing unexpected happens, you will have a personal warehouse with 120 spaces tomorrow."

Well, we have to run again. So Brook took the warehouse owner's assistant Amin and re-entered the secret passage, passed through the three-level passage of the Xiangshi Ancient Tomb, and came to the Stone Tomb.

There weren't many monsters in the stone tomb. According to Brook's understanding, it must have been cleared out by someone, but there were no human figures around.

The second floor of the stone tomb was huge. Brook and his assistant, Amin, spent more than 10 minutes running all the way to the first floor. After another 10 minutes of running, they arrived at the entrance of the stone tomb and walked out.

It turned out that there was an earthen city outside, and the entrance to the stone tomb was located on a mound made of a mixture of hard rocks and soil in the northwest of the earthen city.

Standing on the mound, one can overlook the earthen city from a high vantage point. The entire city is surrounded by a solid wall of rammed earth, within which stand a series of earthen and wood-framed bungalows. To the northwest is a small exit, without a gate but guarded by two sword-wielding guards; to the southeast is a large exit, also without a gate but guarded by three sword-wielding guards. Near the southeast exit is a large square.

It seemed like every major city had a large square. Fighting and killing were forbidden within this square, a safe zone for the otherworldly warriors. An archer stood guard at each of the four corners of the square, and a large crowd had gathered in the center. Some stood motionless, others engaged in face-to-face conversation, while even more were loudly hawking equipment.

"For sale: Top-grade 1-3 Sea Souls. Mages interested, hurry up! The price is cheap and the sale will only take 5 minutes."

"Selling a large bracelet with 0-2 Taoist magic, which can be exchanged for warrior or mage equipment"

“出售攻击6-14的凌风，防御0-2攻击0-2的坚固手套”

.....

"Xiao Shuai, I'll wipe your spicy next door..."

Occasionally there were some discordant sounds, which were obviously the swear words of the warriors from another world, but Brook couldn't understand them either, so it should be some kind of dialect.

Brook watched all this curiously, and only walked down the stairs slowly after being urged by his assistant Amin.

Just then, a few people came up. The leader, holding a faintly gleaming saber, was named Bai Yujing. The steps were narrow, and if two people walked side by side, one of them would have to step sideways to pass. They stopped and looked curiously at the two people descending the stairs, especially Brook, who they stared at.
