Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

At this time, on the first floor of the Viper Mine, a team of 10 people led by Bai Yujing had been waiting at the entrance of the Corpse King's Palace for almost 2 hours, but still hadn't waited for the yellow-robed zombie to come out from underground. They were very anxious.

During these two hours, Bai Yujing's group beat back the Overlord's men, including the 2 or so people led by the "Great King Asked Me to Patrol the Mountain," several times. But the other side never gave up, and they would gather again after being beaten back. The two sides fought back and forth, intermittently until now.

Later, Duzhan Yihongyuan also came, but was still beaten back by Bai Yujing and others.

Bai Yujing was worried that Bawang Qiangshanggong and Chuangyao would join the fight, but they hadn't shown up yet. She assumed they were still in the Corpse King's Palace downstairs, but they were actually in Hongming Village.

Compared to Bai Yujing, Ba Wang and Chuang Yao were even more frustrated because they were red-named. Losing their backpack items wasn't a big deal; their warehouse still had random scrolls and return scrolls, allowing them to randomly travel to the vicinity of Tucheng. However, the gates of Tucheng were guarded by large swords, preventing them from breaking in and thus unable to teleport to the Snake Valley through the lottery operator.

The two decided to fly directly to the Serpent Valley. They spent double the price on some potions from the profiteers in Red Name Village, then used a random flight to reach an area near the Serpent Valley. After running for over 10 minutes, they finally reached the valley entrance, forgetting that the four archer guards at the entrance would also attack Red Names. That night, the bed was shaking, and I died again, completely destroyed. Overlord also nearly died, but luckily retreated in time.

In the end, the two had no choice but to wait anxiously near the entrance of the Serpent Valley, away from the archers. It took more than an hour for the red mark to disappear.

Overlord stormed into the Viper Mine, rallied his troops, and, fuming with rage, drove Bai Yujing away. Overlord, perplexed by how Bai Yujing had initially managed to beat him to the Corpse King's Palace, suspected a traitor within his ranks. After much deliberation, he concluded it was most likely the unstoppable Xiaoqiang. The team members reported that Xiaoqiang and his four companions had withdrawn from the battle, claiming to have gone to the Centipede Cave to level up. They had previously been reprimanded by Overlord, and perhaps harbored a grudge. This analysis confirmed Xiaoqiang and his four companions as the most likely suspects.

Overlord and his men continued to wait, but even after 5 p.m., four hours after the gates had last opened, the yellow-robed zombie still hadn't emerged. Faced with his subordinates' questions, Overlord couldn't understand why. Finally, most of them lost patience and either returned to the city to rest or went out to fight monsters in the surrounding areas. Only Overlord, Chuangyao, and a few others remained, still waiting.

Bayin and Brook rested in the Lich King Hall for nearly two hours, half asleep and half awake, when another wave of over 2 Lich Kings spawned. They cleared them all out using their usual methods, revealing the level 30 Taoist skill "Spiritual Revelation," a 26-26 wand, suitable for level 2 mages, and a prayer ring. This beautiful prayer ring, emerald green with a ruby ​​in the center, boasted a magic power of 5-1 and could be worn at level 5. Bayin fell in love with it and put it on immediately.

By this time, Bayin's red name had faded, and neither of them wanted to wait another two hours for the next wave of zombies. So they used the city return scroll to fly back to Tucheng, cleaned out their backpacks, and Brook gave Bayin the black iron ore and the "Magic Shield". Bayin then went directly to Shabak to hand in the quest.

So Brook and Bayin acted separately again. Since their teams were automatically disbanded after returning to Mengzhong from the Serpent Valley, they had to regroup so that they could discuss things through team chat. Brook was going to go to the depths of the Stone Tomb first, but Bayin did not choose to go to Shabak through the Incense Stone Tomb this time, but used the mage's skill to teleport. The function of this skill is similar to the Dungeon Escape Scroll. Each time you use the teleport skill, there is a chance of failure, but there is also a chance of success. If you succeed, you will randomly appear at a certain location in Mengzhong Province. Although Mengzhong is large, as long as you use teleportation a few more times, you can always fly to the vicinity of Shabak City.

After Brook finished resupplying, he went to the inn first. He retrieved his notes and reviewed the information about the stone tomb, especially the array of stone tombs deep within it, memorizing it. He had a plan for an upgrade, but whether it was feasible required further investigation.

Brooke left the inn and entered the Stone Tomb. Also known as the Pig Cave, the Stone Tomb is home to wild boars, including the common red and black boars, as well as the leader-level white boar. The monsters on the first and second floors of the Stone Tomb were too sparse, and leveling was too slow. He planned to head directly to the third floor. Bayin had mentioned before that she had teamed up with alien warriors on the third floor and encountered a white boar. The 3-0 Taoist clothing Brooke was wearing was dropped from it. No white boars had been encountered on the first and second floors. Therefore, Brooke speculated that white boars might appear after the third floor.

The map of the stone tomb was enormous. Brooke ran from the first floor to the second floor in less than 10 minutes. However, running from the second floor to the third floor took him 15 minutes. This was after consulting the map Situ Haoyun had recorded and knowing the entrances and exits. Without the map, who knows how long it would have taken him to search inside.

The alien warriors are really amazing, everyone has an accurate map. No wonder Bayin often seeks out alien warriors to form a team, probably in large part because he wants them to lead the way.

Oh, since Bayin doesn't have a map yet, I'll copy one for him tonight, Brook thought as he hurried on.

Finally, he reached the third floor of the Stone Tomb, currently located in the upper left corner of the map, in the northwest. The entrance to the fourth floor was in the lower right corner, in the southeast. It was another long trek. This time, Brook didn't just run all the way there, but instead planned to slowly clear the way by killing monsters along the way.

The monsters on the third floor of the Stone Tomb are primarily black boars, red boars, wedge moths, black maggots, and scorpion snakes, and their numbers are significantly greater than on the first and second floors. After all, it's quite far, taking over 20 minutes to reach. Naturally, not many people focus solely on leveling up on the third floor.

They encountered some otherworldly warriors along the way. While some were surprised by Brook's 1-5 demon-slaying skills, they only glanced at him briefly before leaving. In places like the Stone Tomb, most people came to level up; fighting was unnecessary and unnecessary. Since Brook already had a team, they tactfully stopped inviting him.

Brook was currently level 24, with 13/40 experience. He still needed 27 experience points. He should be able to level up again today. Brook followed a straight road heading south, killing monsters along the way.

At this time, Bayin's voice rang out in the team: "Where are you?"

"The third floor of the Stone Tomb. After entering, follow the main road on the left and go straight down." Brook asked, "Is the mission reward good?"

"The weapon master gave me one chance to upgrade my weapon for free and guaranteed success." Bayin replied.

"So did you upgrade the偃月 or the magic wand?" Brook asked again.

"Neither. I think it's a pity to upgrade the偃月 or magic wand. I'll do it when I have a more suitable weapon. The reward has no time limit." Bayin thought that since the upgrade is bound to be successful, this opportunity must be used to the best effect.

Soon, Bayin also reached the third floor. After the two met, they advanced even faster, reaching the entrance to the fourth floor, but they did not encounter the white wild boar. This kind of leader-level monster is hard to come by.

Brook entered the fourth floor first. The monsters here were more numerous than on the third floor of the Stone Tomb, and their progress began to slow. They were currently in the lower right corner of the map, while the entrance to the next floor was in the upper left. They followed a path leading left until they reached the lower left corner of the map. They stopped, and a white wild boar appeared before them.

According to the Monster Encyclopedia, the White Boar has an attack power of 30-55, a magic defense of 15, a defense of 15, and a health of 1000. This is the most powerful monster Brook has encountered so far.

Brook thought of the black and red boars he'd encountered before. Their attacks seemed to have a critical hit, or some kind of attack bonus, dealing 1.5x damage, making them more painful. Experimenting with the idea, Brook used poison to lure the white boar to his side and deliberately let it hit him twice to test its actual damage. One hit cost him 2 HP, and another 40 HP. It was about what Brook had expected, about a 50x bonus.

The experiment was over, and the two of them started killing. There was no need to find a position, just let the baby hold the front, and the two of them stood on either side, pulling the white wild boar back and forth. Although the white wild boar's magic resistance and defense were very high, it only took the two of them half a minute to kill it, and the ground was littered with things. A silver snake weapon used by a level 26 Taoist priest, Taoist magic 1-3, seemed not as good as Brook's current Taoist magic 1-5 demon subduing, so I kept it for the time being. In addition, 8 powerful sun waters were dropped, which can instantly restore 50 health points and 80 magic points. This is a good thing, and the two of them split it equally.

After encountering their first white boar, both of them felt more energized. Perhaps there were more white boars ahead, so they turned and continued north. Here, the path narrowed, about five people wide. But it was clear someone had been there before, so the monsters weren't densely populated. They weren't in a rush, just treating it as a normal leveling exercise, slowly pushing through.

After more than half an hour, the two reached the entrance to the fifth floor. It was already 5:8 pm, and Bayin had used up all the magic potions he had brought with him. Brook still had more than 40 bundles left. When he had previously resupplied medicine, he had bought a lot of magic potions specifically for Bayin, so he gave Bayin 30 bundles directly.

If I had run out of Bayin potions before meeting Brook, I would have had to return to the city to resupply. And going down to the stone tomb would have wasted time running along the way. Now that I had 30 more bundles of potions, my efficiency was instantly improved.

The two descended to the fifth floor and found scattered candles and potions on the ground. They speculated that a warrior from another world had entered the fifth floor and was accidentally killed by a monster. Monsters abounded here, and swarms of them could be seen everywhere, starting from the stairs down. Currently, the highest level of warriors from another world was around level 5, making it quite dangerous to venture into the depths of the stone tomb.

The two stood at the stairs, Brook and Xiaobai outside, Bayin inside, clearing out the nearby monsters. Brook didn't dare let Xiaobai rush directly into the wild boars, so he used the Soul Fire Talisman skill every few seconds to attract a monster to him. Without waiting for the monster to die, he continued to use the Fire Talisman to attract the next one.

The two continued their advance, encountering neither white boars nor otherworldly warriors along the way to the fifth floor. However, due to the dense concentration of demonic beasts, their potions were depleting rapidly. With only half the distance to the next floor left, Bayin had already used up most of her potion, and she began to worry.

"Don't worry too much. There is a stone tomb array below the 5th floor. The stone tomb array is a maze, and there may be a potion merchant in it." Brook comforted.

"Really?" Bayin asked in surprise.

"Maybe there are also merchants of clothes, weapons, and jewelry." Brooke said again.

"......" Bayin still found it hard to believe that such a good thing could happen?

"We'll find out once we get inside." Brooke wasn't sure. While there was a record of it in Situ Haoyun's notes, time has passed and it might no longer be there. Being able to buy medicine, repair equipment, and sell equipment, and level up right away, it seemed too perfect.

The road to the fifth floor was long. The two fought for nearly two hours before reaching the entrance to the next floor. This entrance didn't lead directly to the sixth floor of the Stone Tomb, but to a stone tomb formation. Between the fifth and sixth floors, there was a stone tomb formation.

By this time, Bayin and Brook had both reached level 25, but Bayin only had two bundles of magic potions left, and Brook only had one. They no longer dared to drink potions, but instead rested where they were, slowly waiting for their magic to recover.

Brook has learned the Taoist's level 25 skill, "Holy Armor." This skill grants temporary defense to himself and his teammates, similar to the Ghost Shield. It creates a "defense" symbol in mid-air, currently adding 5 points of defense. It's a very useful skill.

During the break, Brooke and Bayin sat face to face on the ground. He carved out a simple room on the ground and explained the diagram to Bayin.

The Stone Tomb Array is a maze, consisting of numerous identical rooms. Each of the four sides has a door, leading to a different chamber within the maze. Crucially, there are merchants within the Stone Tomb Array. Situ Haoyun has already provided a clear route through the maze.

If you go to the 6th floor of the stone tomb from the starting point, the route is: upper right, lower left, upper right, lower left, upper right, lower left. You need to pass through 6 doors in total.

If you go to the Stone Tomb Pharmacy from the starting point, the route is: lower left, lower right, lower right.

If you return to the starting point from the Stone Tomb Pharmacy, the route is: upper left, upper left, upper right, lower left.

If you go to the 6th floor from the Stone Tomb Pharmacy, the route is: lower left, lower left.

......

"Wait, did your master also tell you these?" Bayin already had a headache after listening to all this, there was so much going on, and it was impossible for him to remember everything at once.

"Yes." Brook thought for a moment and added, "Before Master left, he gave me his notes."

So that's what it is. Those are people's personal valuables, and Bayin can't ask to see them. So she said, "This route is too complicated, and I can't remember it. I'll just follow you."

"Okay." Brooke thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to remember the rest for now, but you'd better remember the way to the pharmacy and the 6th floor."

Bayin nodded, and Brooke explained the route to the pharmacy and the sixth floor again.

"Actually, I'm not sure if the merchants are still there. Maybe they've left after all these years. So we have to go check it out ourselves. If there really are merchants, then this place is a perfect place to level up." Brook paused, then smiled and said to Bayin, "If there really are merchants and the maze navigation is confirmed, then I'll copy a map of the stone tomb for you."

Bayin felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly as he said, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Brooke thought this map might be worthy of publication to all Marfa monks. He would ask for Master's opinion the next time he saw him.

Giving a rose to someone leaves a sweet fragrance on your hand. You don't lose anything, so why not do it?
