Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The skill necklace lost a bit of durability, and the durability became 4/5. However, Brook was not worried. Not only was the skill necklace useless, but the most important thing was that this was the Dragon Empire, with the Heaven and Earth Furnace. Even if it was a divine artifact, the durability could be quickly restored.

Brooke puts on the detection necklace, @serching Fire Dragon Master

"The Fire Dragon Cult Leader is now in the Dragon Empire:".

Really brushed it!

Brooke immediately teleported to a location over 200 yards from the target coordinates. This was a low, dense grassland, belonging to the Ancient Cultist's sphere of influence. Apparently, the Ancient Cultist's true form was the Fire Dragon Cultist, hence the detection necklace's discovery.

Brook ran forward for more than 100 yards and finally saw a tall monster in front of him, which was the ancient leader.

At this moment, it was standing on the edge of a cliff, seemingly gazing into the distance, staring motionlessly ahead. It was truly a refined creature, actually knowing how to appreciate the scenery.

Looking around, there were no other monks around. This was a perfect opportunity to kill the monster.

Brook rushed forward immediately.

The Fire Dragon Commander is a 2nd level monster, and the Fire Dragon Cultist should be stronger. Plus, it's an Ancient series monster, so its attack and health are doubled. Even if Brook currently has 807 health points, he will probably be killed by it instantly.

Rushing to the front, Brook slowed down and ordered the Holy Beast Baby to go first, while he himself stopped at a safe distance of 10 yards.

As the sacred beast approached, the ancient leader immediately turned around and the two sides collided.

Brook was relieved that the Ancient Cult Master was a melee-type monster. As long as it wasn't a ranged attack, he could be careful and keep his distance, and there would be no danger.

Brook took a few steps forward and cast a telepathic revelation, revealing the ancient leader's health: 66!

Brook gasped. This amount of HP was simply too much for a level 49, unreincarnated novice like him.

The terrain here was empty, with no usable terrain. If Brook kept firing Soul Fire Talismans, he would be immediately pursued by the Ancient Cult Master. He would then have no choice but to turn and flee, with the Cult Master chasing him and the Holy Beast Baby chasing him. With both chasing and chasing, he would be unable to deal any damage. It would be better to stand aside and rely solely on the Holy Beast Baby's damage output.

However, the Holy Beast Baby's damage is limited, currently fixed at 124 points. Even with the blessing of Red Poison, the damage is only 148. The Holy Beast Baby's attack frequency is not very fast, attacking about 40 times a minute, and the total damage in a minute is less than 6000.

If they relied solely on the Holy Beast's output, it would take 110 minutes. At such a long time, there was no need to fight at all, because other monks would surely come, and Brook would have to give way sooner or later.

Unless they find a favorable terrain that allows them to hide and, preferably, block the monster's position, allowing Brook's Soul Fire Talisman skill to be used without worry, then it will be possible to secretly hunt down this ancient leader.

Brook opened the map and carefully observed the Fire Dragon Lord's sphere of influence: the north and east were flat grasslands, the south was a winding cliff, and the west was close to a hill.

If they wanted to find favorable terrain, they could only try their luck in the hills to the west; if that didn't work, Brook would have to call for support.

Either ask Xiang Rong and the other two for help, or ask Wenren Muyue.

It's best to rely on yourself.

It's not about keeping the spoils for yourself, but it's a habit.

If you can do something yourself, do it yourself. Don't ask for help from others. Even friends like Xiao Xia Mi only get together when they need each other.

Except for Bayin, who was more than just a friend. They had been inseparable since some time, and before they knew it, they had become each other's significant other.

Brooke rushed towards the western hills. The Ancient Master moved very quickly, chasing Brooke closely.

Five minutes later, Brook arrived at the hill. He immediately summoned the Holy Beast before him, then turned invisible. The Ancient Cultist lost his target and could only spar with the Holy Beast to the side.

There was indeed a small forest near the hills. Brooke examined it carefully and finally found a relatively advantageous position. It was backed by the mountain wall, and blocked by two large trees on the sides, forming a long and narrow passage. Although the entrance was two yards wide, it narrowed further in, just enough to trap the monster.

However, although the terrain here is good, it happens to be outside the ancient leader's sealing barrier.

If Brooke had not learned the Level 4 Trapping Spell, he could only shake his head and give up; now, of course, he had a solution and took action immediately.

Brook used the sacred beast to lead the ancient leader to the edge of the barrier, then he walked out of the barrier, clasped his hands together, and pointed at the wall in front of him.

Trapping spell, open! The energy of the skill necklace rushed in frantically, breaking a hole in the barrier that sealed the ancient monster.

Brook immediately poisoned the ancient leader and attacked him with the Soul Fire Talisman. As expected, the leader rushed over and walked straight out of the cave.

In just a few seconds, the sealing barrier was closed again, and Brook commanded the holy beast to lead the ancient leader into the narrow passage.

The ancient leader finally walked out of the sealing barrier and entered the narrow passage set up for it by Brook!

Just when Brooke thought his plan was successful and was secretly delighted, suddenly, the ancient leader stopped moving forward, turned 180 degrees, and seemed to have lost all hatred, and ran back without hesitation.

Brook was stunned and quickly attacked, trying to pull the hatred back. But the ancient leader was completely unaware of Brook's attack and rushed straight towards the barrier that sealed it without even turning back.

As soon as it touched the barrier, the ancient leader immediately trembled, staggered, and showed an extremely painful expression, but it persisted, even if it was injured, it was determined to pass through the 2-meter-thick barrier wall.

After a while, the ancient leader's health points dropped by tens of thousands, but it actually passed through the barrier and ran quickly towards the center of the barrier.

Brook was stunned. What was going on? Was there something incredible at the center of the barrier attracting the leader?

Brook chased the ancient leader closely, sometimes using poison and sometimes fire talismans, but the ancient leader ignored it, as if he had lost his mind and ran away like a frightened bird, not knowing how to fight back at all.

What happened to the ancient leader?

Ahead was the center of the barrier, but there was nothing there. Brook was very confused.

The ancient leader finally stopped, regained consciousness in an instant, recovered his monster instincts, and began to rush towards Brook, ready to launch an attack.

Brook quickly summoned the sacred beast to his front, and he himself stepped back a few steps to become invisible.

The ancient leader and the sacred beast started fighting again.

Brook looked at the ancient leader in confusion and began to think.

It had clearly left the sealing barrier, but instead of running away, it ran back at all costs?

Concentrate! Brook focused his magic power into his eyes and observed carefully. But there was indeed nothing in the center.

So what exactly is attracting the ancient leader?

Brooke pondered this question and suddenly thought of a possibility. The villagers of Ginkgo Village kept fawns, chickens, and other domestic animals in fences and cages. Over time, the animals came to regard the cages as their homes. When it got dark, rained, or they encountered danger, they would naturally return to their cages, their own homes.

This is most likely the case with this ancient monster. Because they have been trapped in the sealing barrier for too long, they have limited intelligence and have instinctively regarded the barrier that seals them as their home.

It is unknown how long these powerful monsters have been imprisoned by the Dragon Empire. They have been raised alive like poultry in cages.

Perhaps, even if all these barriers were to disappear, they would not escape, because this barrier, this cage, was their home.

It's so sad and lamentable.

For the first time, Brook felt pity for the monster.
