Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook made an appointment with Xiang Rong and others to meet at the lower right corner of the underground palace.

"Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission. I got a copy of 'Summoning Divine Beasts' and a Fire Dragon Dao Ring." Brook said with a smile.

"Summoning the Divine Beast is 22 Yuanbao, and the Fire Dragon Ring is 10 Yuanbao. How are we going to split it, Brook Brothers?" Xiang Rong was a little excited. They had also been to the auction house to check it out, and the price he mentioned was the price at the auction house.

"You take the 'Summoning Divine Beasts', and I'll take the Fire Dragon Dao Ring."

"Okay! Brother Brook is indeed a good friend. Thank you!" Xiang Rong did not hesitate and readily accepted "Summoning Divine Beasts".

Although the idea was proposed by Brook, it was Xiang Rong and the others who attracted hatred and fought against Tuoba Shi, and they might be hated by others in the end.

This wasn't Brook's intention, but Xiang Rong had more people on his side, so they had to carry out this mission. If it were Brook alone, Tuoba Shi wouldn't have taken the bait.

Therefore, Xiang Rong and the other two made greater contributions, so it is reasonable for them to get more.

"Tuoba Shi's health is so high. Brother Xiang Rong, do you know how he did it?" Brook asked.

"I don't know either. The Dragon Empire has many secrets, and there are many items and skills that can improve strength. It must be some method that we don't know about."

It seems Xiang Rong's knowledge is limited. Brooke asked again, "Where are you going next?"

"We need to go back to the Dragon Empire. Then we'll go to the Second Transformation Continent. The double time in the illusion world hasn't run out yet, so we need to go into the Mayan Temple as well."

Xiang Rong and his companions had been in the underground palace for a while, acquiring items worth 1 to 2 Shenlong coins. They planned to sell them at the store so they could upgrade their equipment. Most importantly, they needed to quickly list the skill book at the auction house and exchange it for gold ingots. This was their first pot of gold, and they had to pay taxes to the Shenlong Empire tomorrow.

"Okay, I want to continue wandering around the underground palace. This underground palace is so big, and there are many places I haven't been to." Brooke said.

"Brother Brook, add me as a friend first." Xiang Rong said.

"Friends? How to add them?" Brooke asked curiously.

"Haha, it turns out you didn't know yet. In addition to displaying the map, the compass also has some other functions, such as the social friend function. It is similar to the guild management interface of the Marfa continent. You can use it to transmit information or send messages." Xiang Rong explained.

"Oh, that's much more convenient. Come on, add me as a friend!"

Several people added each other as friends.

"Brother Brook, we'll take our leave now. Contact us if you have anything to say. We'll meet again if we're lucky."

Xiang Rong and his companions left.

Brook planned to stay in the underground palace. He had finished the four rooms in the middle, but he didn't know the spawn times of these bosses, which was important information to know.

Also, check the monsters in the other rooms; you never know what they might drop. Even if they don't drop anything good, you can dig up their corpses; you might find something shiny.

So, Brook continued to explore the underground palace.

※※※※※※※

It's unclear whether the cultivators of the Dragon Empire are accustomed to a life of luxury, have exhausted their chances of descending to the underground palace, or simply disdain to visit. Brook encountered almost no one in the underground palace. The occasional person who passed by simply glanced at Brook before sprinting away. Judging from their direction of travel, they were likely heading for the central chamber.

Of course, these people didn't find the boss they were looking for. After waiting for a while, it still didn't spawn, so they didn't wait any longer. The world outside is huge, and there are more places to spawn bosses than just the underground palace. Let's go and check out the Dragon Empire and the Mayan Temple.

Brook had already learned his lesson. Most of the bosses in these dungeons spawned in the center. Although they would wander around after spawning, they generally didn't wander far. They could generally be found within a radius of one or two hundred yards.

The Dark WoMa Cult Leader, the Dark Skeleton Elf, the Dark Yellow Spring Cult Leader, the Dark Two-headed King Kong, the Dark Two-headed Blood Demon, etc. These monsters all have 1 HP, but they don't drop good things, usually just a Red Moon or a Thunder Equipment.

There is also the Electric Zombie King with 3 HP. It is a leader of the same level as the Wedge Moth King and the Dark Bull Demon King, and has a chance of dropping level 50 God of War weapons and clothes.

Every half hour, Brook would check to see if the bosses in the four central rooms had spawned. He confirmed that the Rainbow Demon Lord and the Yellow Springs Lord spawned every hour, while the Mutated Dragon Warrior and the Dark Dragon Lord took two hours. As for the standard bosses in the other rooms, those with 4 HP each, respawned every half hour.

Brook killed a few more Rainbow Demon Lords and Yellow Spring Lords, but no valuable items dropped; and the Mutated Dragon Warrior and Dark Dragon Lord were not very powerful either, and in the end he only got 1 Fire Dragon Helmet.

It’s not that easy to get things. The first few times things dropped one after another was just luck.

Finally, when digging up the body of the Dark Dragon Cult leader, an object emitting a strong light was dug out: the handprint of the Dragon Cult leader.

It was nearly 11:3 PM. Brook thought for a moment, realizing he still had one chance to enter the underground palace today. He activated the Portal Stone and returned to the manor, storing three first-level Fire Dragon equipment and one second-level Backfire Wristband in the warehouse.

"Boss, do you know what this is?" Brook took out the handprint of the Dragon Lord and asked the warehouse owner.

"This is a rare material containing the soul of a monster. Go find the Soul Hall messenger, and he will tell you the use of this soul material." The warehouse owner of the manor pointed to the south.

"Thank you boss."

Brook followed the direction given by the warehouse owner and soon found the Soul Hall Messenger.

"Kill the monster leader, and there is a chance to collect rare materials containing monster souls from its corpse. You can enter the Soul Hall and use the soul materials to activate the soul of the corresponding monster to obtain a large number of attributes. In addition, multiple monster souls can resonate with each other, helping you to quickly improve your strength. The soul material in your hand is related to the Demon Dragon Lord. Go to the hall to find the statue of the Demon Dragon Lord." After the Soul Hall messenger finished speaking, he teleported Brook into a solemn and dignified room.

The room was large, with statues of various monsters neatly placed around it. Brook walked around the room halfway and saw all kinds of monsters.

The monsters I have seen before include the Wo Ma Cult Leader, the Zu Ma Cult Leader, the Two-Headed King Kong, the Stone Tomb Corpse King, the Skeleton Elf, the Rainbow Demon Cult Leader, the Dragon Tree Demon, etc.; and many more monsters I have never seen before: the Fire Dragon Commander, the Fire Dragon Cult Leader, the Silver Guardian, the Green Spider, the Jade-faced Fox, etc.

These statues are lifelike, gray and motionless.

On the left wall, Brook found the statue of the Dragon Lord. As Brook approached, the Dragon Lord's soul material in his backpack hummed and glowed brighter.

Brook took out the soul material. At this moment, a clear sentence came from his mind:

"Are you willing to inject your soul? In exchange, I will help you increase your health by 9 points."

Who is speaking? Brook was extremely surprised! Then he slowly raised his head and looked at the statue of the Dragon Master. Could it be this statue?

"Are you willing to inject your soul?" The voice came again. The statue did not speak, but it was indeed speaking, reaching the heart.

This is no ordinary statue! It's likely a living monster, transformed into a statue for some unknown reason and then placed here by the Dragon Empire.

Injecting soul will increase my health by 9 points?

"I'm willing to inject soul." Brook thought for a moment and said.

The soul material, called "The Handprint of the Demonic Dragon Master," slowly flew up and instantly sank into the statue of the Demonic Dragon Master. Brook felt a flash of golden light and immediately checked his attributes.

The level has not changed, it is still level 47; but the health points have increased by 9 points!

It's incredible that they can improve their strength in this way.

Brook circled halfway around again, finally arriving at the southern part of the room. There was a stone-carved soul mirror with what appeared to be some inscriptions. Upon closer inspection, he discovered information about soul resonance.

It turns out that the souls of different demonic beasts grant different attributes. They are divided into three categories: Bloodthirsty, Guardian, and Demonic, corresponding to health, defense, and magical attack. The Demonic Dragon Master just now was a Bloodthirsty type, and injecting his soul would increase his health.

The Soul Mirror explains the different types of monsters. If you collect the souls of any five different bloodthirsty monsters, their souls will resonate, increasing your health by an additional 5 points! This is only the first level of soul resonance.

If you collect 10, it will trigger the second resonance, and increase your health by an additional 315 points; if you collect all 15 souls of bloodthirsty monsters, it will trigger the third resonance, and increase your health by another 360 points!

Similarly, guardians and demons had a similar resonance. However, the corresponding monsters in these two categories seemed to be very powerful. Green spiders, jade-faced foxes, ice palace guardians, orc giants, etc., were all powerful monsters that Brook had never encountered before, and they were not something Brook could deal with at the moment.

No wonder Tuoba Shi’s health is as high as 631. It turns out that the soul resonance increases his health.

Judging by Tuoba Shi's health, he should have only triggered the first level of bloodthirsty resonance. In addition, injecting soul will increase his health by 9 points. So, Tuoba Shi's level... should be less than level 60!

Brook's guess was correct. In reality, the seemingly powerful Tuoba Shi was only level 58. He had 343 HP, and then he infused it with the bloodthirsty souls of seven different demon beasts, adding up to 7 HP. Adding another layer of bloodthirsty resonance and an additional 63 HP, he ultimately reached 225 HP.

Brook silently memorized the contents of the soul inspection, then returned to the manor and turned to walk towards the transporter.

He was going to the Dragon Empire. The probability of soul materials being bred in the bodies of monsters was very low, and it was difficult to collect them. He wondered if there would be soul materials in the auction house. If the price was right, he could buy them directly to quickly increase his health.
