Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

From afar, a snow-white demon beast stood quietly beneath the mountain. It had an enchanting figure and was tall, with a pair of huge, transparent white wings spread out on its back, like an elegant angel.

But it was indeed a demon beast. Brook had seen its statue in the Soul Hall. It was called the Ice Palace Guardian.

The true form of the ancient ice girl is the guardian of the ice palace.

And it is a powerful rank 5 monster!

If people knew that a level 49 newcomer wanted to challenge the Ice Palace Guardian, an ancient monster with double the attack power, they would probably laugh their heads off.

But Brook was a fearless young man. Just because others couldn't do it didn't mean he couldn't do it either. This time, no one was coming to kill the Ancient Ice Maiden. With this opportunity before him, he had to give it a try.

A long mountain range stretched before them, rising from the southwest and sloping downward toward the northeast. There were a few subtle depressions along the mountain, but they weren't deep enough to form caves, making them difficult to use as a defensive position. Furthermore, they were too close to the center of the barrier, making them easily discovered. In front of the mountain lay flat grassland, offering no place to hide.

To the northeast of the mountain range, there is an uphill road that leads to the mountain. However, this uphill road is just outside the range of the barrier, and under normal circumstances, the Ancient Ice Maiden cannot climb it.

Brook came to the hillside and carefully observed the terrain: the hillside went up in the northwest direction, forming a 45-degree angle with the sloping mountain.

Suddenly, a bold plan came to Brook's mind: since there was no good location under the mountain, he would lead the ancient ice girl to the top of the mountain.

Brook returned to the ancient ice girl and commanded the baby holy beast to attract hatred and slowly lead it to the northeast.

Soon they arrived at the corner of the hillside, which happened to be the location of the sealed barrier.

Trapped spell, open!

With the influx of the power of the artifact, an exit was opened in the seal of the ancient ice girl. The holy beast baby led the ice girl out of the exit, immediately turned and walked up the uphill section.

After only a few steps, the Ice Girl, like the Ancient Leader before her, immediately wanted to turn back. However, her retreat was blocked by Brook and the newly summoned Holy Beast. Furthermore, the area was at an angle, so the Ancient Ice Girl couldn't retreat at all.

The Ice Maiden, not particularly intelligent, could only be driven uphill by Brook and the Holy Beast. After several minutes, they finally reached the top of the mountain. The Ice Maiden immediately headed straight for the center of the barrier, unaware that they were already on the mountain. If they continued in a straight line, they would never be able to return to the center of the barrier.

Brook no longer needed to chase the Ice Maiden away; he could only follow closely behind her. Soon, she reached the edge of a cliff and continued along it. After walking a little further, she finally stopped and wandered around a depression in the cliff.

This was the location on the mountain, closest to the center of the sealed barrier. But the Ice Maiden didn't know how to take a detour. She didn't know that if she didn't take a detour, she would never be able to return.

Brook slowly stepped forward and cast a telepathic revelation on the Ancient Ice Maiden: 314 million HP!

He gasped. With so much HP, considering his damage, it would probably take him five hours to defeat him!

Of course, this wouldn't work! It wasn't that Brooke lacked patience, but rather that he feared the consequences. If things took too long, even if this place was well hidden, it might still be discovered.

Brook took out the compass and sent a message to Wenren Muyue.

"Mu Yue, are you free? Help me beat the leader."

"I'm free. Where are you?" Wenren Muyue replied almost instantly.

"Outside the city of Shenlong Empire, coordinates."

"Okay, come right away!"

After 8 minutes, Wenren Muyue finally came running over from a distance.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Your coordinates are a bit hard to find. I just ran down the mountain and couldn't find them no matter how hard I looked. I wasted several minutes." Wenren Muyue greeted Brooke from a distance.

"Oh, I was wrong. I should have reminded you that this is on the mountain. I'm sorry." Brook said quickly.

"What leader are you fighting for? You actually ran to the mountain."

"Well, just an ice girl."

At this time, Brook and the Holy Beast Baby were looking down from above, blocking the Ancient Ice Girl at the edge of the cliff, just blocking Wenren Muyue's sight. So Brook stepped aside to let Wenren Muyue see clearly.

"Ancient Ice Girl!!" Wenren Muyue exclaimed and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

"Yeah. Come and help me deal damage. I've been fighting for several minutes and only took away 7 HP."

"You...you...the ancient ice girl won't hit you?" Wenren Muyue was so nervous that she stuttered.

"Well, it's stupid, it doesn't hit me."

"It really won't hit you! Oh my God! How could this happen?" Wenren Muyue looked at it in surprise for a while, very puzzled.

"It's a long story. I took great pains to lure the Ancient Ice Maiden to the mountain, and then it ran back and got stuck on the edge of this cliff. Don't worry, it's already stupid and won't attack anyone. Just focus on your output," Brook explained.

"But why did it become stupid? What did you do to it?"

"I didn't do anything to it. How would I know why it became stupid? My guess is that it might have been imprisoned in the sealing barrier for too long, so this ice girl developed a mental illness, which is why she became stupid. Think about it, if you were locked up in an empty room, not allowed to read, not allowed to go out, not allowed to do anything, for ten or twenty years, wouldn't you also become stupid?"

"Yeah! That would be really stupid. Your analysis makes a lot of sense." Wenren Muyue thought for a moment and agreed, "Then should I attack?"

"Well, attack."

Wenren Muyue stood far away and shot a bolt of lightning at the ancient ice girl, causing 420 damage.

"Mu Yue, your lightning attack is so strong. How much magic power do you have? The Ice Girl really won't attack you. Just stand closer and try not to be discovered by others." Brook said.

"Oh, okay." Wenren Muyue walked behind Brook and said, "My magic power is 286 now. I am a level 4 lightning spell, and I have the Taoist poison. Over 400 damage is normal."

"You're only wearing the God of War suit, how can you have such a high magic power of 286?"

"I have almost collected all the demon soul materials, and I already have 2 levels of demon resonance, so I added almost 100 points of magic power." Wenren Muyue explained.

"Demon-series soul materials...are almost all from rank 5 or higher monsters, right?"

"Yes. I happened to have some in the warehouse at home, so I just used it."

Brook was speechless. He'd been trying everything to get some low-level demon beast soul materials, while Wenren Muyue was almost full of high-level soul materials. Having a family as a backer was indeed a huge benefit.

"Your family is so rich, so enviable."

"It's just soul material, no need to envy. If you can help our family achieve good results in this underground palace trial, I believe my sister will give you a generous reward."

"I hope so."
