Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"Haha, the Evil Viper dropped a Dragon Ring." The Death Angel in the team said. They were in the room below, and the Evil Viper happened to spawn in the lower half of the 7th floor and was killed by them. He was the only warrior in their team, and the Dragon Ring with a warrior's attack of 0-5 was of course his.

"That's so weak. The Evil Viper just dropped the 'Summon Divine Beast'." San Buzhi said disappointedly.

"Last time, that was your shitty luck that came out all at once. Normally, it's good enough if you can get a dragon ring. Just wait and see, Taoist equipment won't drop anymore in the future." said the Angel of Death.

"Hehe, I know you are jealous. By the way, Brook also promised to give me a silver snake, so you can continue to be envious." San Buzhi smiled.

"Ah~ I'm so sleepy, I can't hold on any longer." Beibei, who was in the team, yawned several times and said that. Just now, a white wild boar dropped a ruby ​​ring, and she was excited for a while, but now she felt sleepy again. She saw that it was already past 1 o'clock in the evening.

"Ah~ yes, my eyelids are twitching too." Xiao Jingjing agreed, and she also yawned.

The two people who said they were sleepy were both girls, and both were mages. Without the mage's fire wall, they couldn't roast the pig. But it was really late, and after spending almost a day in the stone tomb, Xiao Xia Mi and the others were quite tired.

"I have run out of poison. Alas, I can't buy poison in Tucheng and Bichi, so I can only collect the materials to make poison myself. This is the most troublesome thing about being a Taoist priest." San Buzhi said.

"Mages, you've been working so hard. You're the ones doing the damage. Warriors can only stand still and do nothing most of the time. Once we reach level 25, we'll be able to use assassination swordsmanship to attack monsters on the other side of the wall. The second grid of assassination swordsmanship ignores defense." Xiao Xia Fan also knew that the mages must be exhausted. He asked Bayin, "Bayin, are you guys still going?"

If Bayin continued, they would have to stay with him. Because the monsters on the seventh floor of the Stone Tomb spawned so quickly, it was common for the Taoist priest to lure out monsters before returning, and multiple monsters would suddenly spawn in a small room. Without protection, the mage would be in great danger. Therefore, they couldn't abandon Brook and Bayin.

Bayin was still energetic, but she was more understanding, knowing that Xiaoxiami and the others needed to rest. Seeing Brooke looking at her miserably with a bitter face, she couldn't help but laugh and said, "Let's all rest. I also want to go back to the city."

"Then let's go back to the city. Have a good rest and come back tomorrow. Remember to save your equipment." Xiaoxia fans reminded everyone that they had obtained a lot of equipment today, and equipment like Purgatory required level 26 to use.

Everyone used their City Portal Scrolls to whiz back to Earth City and headed to the warehouse. Brook stored the Supreme Ghost Suit, retrieved the Silver Snake and gave it to San Buzhi, and gave the Crescent Blade to Death Angel. Xiao Xia Mi and the others said goodnight, then withdrew from the group and disappeared. Otherworldly warriors generally didn't stay on Marfa for long, preferring to return to their own worlds when resting.

Now only Brook and Bayin were left. They first went to the weapons and clothing shops to sell the items in their backpacks. Since they were both level 26, Brook prepared to go to the knife-wielding guard to practice the level 3 summon skeleton. Bayin was going to the first and second floors of the stone tomb to lure the black evil maggot baby.

"I'll go to the inn and sleep after I finish practicing with the skeleton. Uncle Fu told me that if you don't have time to rest, you will definitely have time to get sick. So you should also rest early and don't work so hard." Brooke knew that Bayin would be up late again, so he advised her.

"I understand. Don't worry, I have been used to meditating and resting since I was 16 years old." Bayin explained.

"Okay. By the way, here are your gold coins." Brook handed Bayin 20 gold coins. The mage was very intensive on potions. The last time he was at the Stone Tomb Pharmacy, Bayin hesitated when he bought medicine. He guessed Bayin was out of money.

"How come it's my gold?" Bayin asked. She had indeed used up all her gold in the Stone Tomb. But she had just returned to Tucheng and sold the twenty-odd weapons and clothes in her backpack, which gave her over 20 gold coins.

"We found it together at the Stone Tomb roasting pig. My backpack is big, so I saved it for you first. Now that we're selling it, of course we'll split it in half," said Brooke.

"Oh~ thank you." Bayin accepted it.

"If you don't have enough gold coins in the future, remember to ask me for them. If you are embarrassed to ask, you can also borrow from me. I won't charge you interest." Brook said with a smile. He still had more than 100 million gold coins.

Bayin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll ask you again if it's not enough next time. I'm leaving now, I'm going to the stone tomb to recruit babies."

"Tomorrow morning at 4 o'clock," Brooke said.

"See you at the entrance of the inn." Bayin said.

The two went in different directions.

Brook arrived at the south gate of Tucheng. Two knife-wielding guards stood at the southwest intersection, making it a good place to practice Summoning Skeletons. Level 2 Summoning Skeletons required 3 points of proficiency, and it would take an estimated two hours to master.

Ah~ Brooke yawned, a bit sleepy after being infected by Xiangyi Beibei. Okay, I'll go to bed after practice. Come on.

Bayin reached the first floor of the Stone Tomb, searching for black maggots, using the Light of Temptation whenever she saw one. However, the Light of Temptation's success rate wasn't high, and she finally succeeded after over 1 attempts. The black maggot, with her name appended to its name, signaled its successful seduction. It scurried up behind her, looking a bit clumsy but quite fast. Bayin continued her search for the next one. She planned to recruit five maggots and then level up on the second or third floor of the Stone Tomb, primarily using the baby maggots to attack while saving her medicine, allowing her to both level up and craft equipment for sale. She needed to earn money to support herself, and she wouldn't actually ask for it from others.

It was past midnight. Brook had finally trained his Skeleton to level 12. Back at the inn, he summoned his Skeleton Baby, Xiaobai, to his side. Suddenly, an idea struck Brook.

Although I taught Xiaobai a lot a few days ago, he died in battle. The newly summoned Xiaobai is no longer the same. No wonder Xiaobai seems to have made no progress. If I can protect Xiaobai, don't let him die, and teach him slowly, just like Xiaohua, I'll definitely be able to teach him!

Brooke's confidence suddenly increased, and he started to give basic training to Xiaobai again.

"Xiaobai, I am your master, your friend, Brook..."

Brook didn't know when he fell asleep, but he slept well. He dreamed of Uncle Fu, and Xiaohua, but unfortunately, he dreamed of Bayin last. In the dream, Bayin chased him and asked for money, saying that he wanted to take all the gold coins in his backpack. Brook ran desperately, saying that he would use them to get married when he got home, and he had promised Uncle Fu. Bayin kept chasing him, and Xiaohua was dancing with vines next to him, but didn't help. Just as he was about to be caught, Brook woke up.

It's all my fault for being so confident yesterday. Why did I say I'd give it to him? Why not just say I'd borrow it? What if Bayin really asked for money, and asked for 100 million gold coins right off the bat? What would I do then? How about buying some fixed assets for investment? That blessed oil the Death Angel mentioned yesterday seems pretty good. I'll buy some when I get a chance to save myself a way out. Uncle Fu was right. Women are sometimes scarier than monsters.

Brooke was lost in thought, then got out of bed and looked at the time. Oh no, it was four minutes past 4 a.m.

Brooke quickly washed up and left the inn. Bayin was already waiting at the door.

"Sorry, I'm late." Brooke was very sorry. If he hadn't woken up and had wild thoughts, he would have been on time.

"It's okay, I only waited for 5 minutes. I thought you were afraid that I would ask you to borrow money, so you left." Bayin looked at Brooke with a smile.

"Haha, how could that be? I accidentally got up late today. I won't do that next time." Brooke said this, but in his heart he was thinking, "Sure enough, they need money. It seems that the plan to purchase the blessing oil needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible."

Brook pricked up his ears, listening to see if anyone was shouting to sell blessing oil, but unfortunately it was only 4 a.m. and there were not many people around shouting, so no one was selling blessing oil.

"I feel like you didn't get enough rest and you're a little uneasy." Bayin suddenly asked.

Brooke thought, that's right, you chased me in my dream for a long time. Then he calmed down and took a deep breath. He said, "A little bit. It was a strange dream. Don't worry, it will be over soon. What are your plans for today? Going to the Stone Tomb or somewhere else?"

"I want to go to Death Valley first and find the owner of the cloth shop in Centipede Cave." Bayin wanted to complete the commission from the owner of the Stone Tomb clothing shop.

"By the way, did you take on this task for the clothing store owner alone, or did we take it together? If I didn't take the task, I wouldn't get the reward." Brooke suddenly asked.

"Ah~ I forgot about that, right? I think we took it together? I think, I was the only one?" Bayin also forgot, but quickly came to his senses, "We're just helping to find her father. We don't expect anything in return. The girl has been scammed out of all her money and is already so poor. How can there be any reward?"

"Okay, let's go to the Centipede Cave first." Brooke said, but thought in his heart, you silly girl, the owner of the clothing store didn't give her any reward, but her father didn't say not to give it.

"I've already found out. If we go north from the north gate of Tucheng, we will reach the Valley of Death," said Bayin.

"Yeah, okay." Brooke had already known about this. He had only given the map of the Bayin Stone Tomb before, but he hadn't had time to copy the map of Mengzhong. We'll talk about it later when we have time.

Bruer checked his backpack again. He had already prepared the potions, torches, amulets, and teleportation scrolls yesterday. His current level was 26, with 46/70 experience points.

The two continued northward, encountering armored beetles and sandworms along the way. They didn't stop to attack these primary monsters, but instead ran past them. They also encountered a falcon flying in the sky. This falcon was also a primary monster of the Alliance, with low health and low attack power, but it was something they had never seen before. As Brook ran, he curiously glanced at the falcon. It seemed to be flying high, and upon seeing the two of them, it let out a loud eagle cry.

After running for over half an hour, the two arrived at Death Valley. It wasn't a valley, but it looked more like a continuous stretch of hills, or perhaps a stone forest. It was vast, and the path was like a maze. It looked like it could be navigated, but at the end, it turned out to be a dead end, forcing them to turn back. They circled around and around, searching for another half hour, but still couldn't find the Centipede Cave.

Brooke was also troubled. He took out his notes in front of Bayin and carefully compared them with Situ Haoyun's map. However, the map only marked an approximate range. The master hadn't provided an enlarged high-definition map.

Bayin also looked at the map for a long time, and finally had to admit that he was lost.

What should they do? Should they fly back to Tucheng and start all over again? But without a familiar guide, they'd probably get lost again. The two of them returned to the desert outside Death Valley. Legend has it that if you get lost in the desert, you might be lucky enough to encounter a mysterious beast. Following it will lead you to the oasis at the exit. The two of them looked around, searching for the legendary lucky beast.

At that moment, Brooke spotted a figure passing in the distance. The two of them hurried toward it, skirting a sand dune before finally catching up. The figure was wearing a white soul armor. Upon closer inspection, it was the invincible tortoise they'd encountered in the Viper Mine. It truly was a divine beast; a miracle had occurred.

"Hey~Brother~" Brook shouted.

Hearing someone shout "Brother!", the invincible turtle froze for a moment, then subconsciously stopped. Then, seeing Brook standing on the sand dune, and Bayin behind him, he was startled again. This flurry of startles left him unsure whether to stop and wait, or run away immediately. He was torn.

The turtle finally stopped and waited for Brook and the other man to run over to him.

"Brother Haohan, long time no see. How are you doing recently? Where are your other friends? Why are you alone? Where are you going?" Brooke threw a series of questions at him.

"Not very good. They are all asleep. I will level up all night. Go to the Centipede Cave." The invincible turtle answered all of Brook's questions honestly and completely.

"What a coincidence! We're going to the Centipede Cave too. Let's go together!" Brooke put his arm around the Divine Turtle's shoulder and walked forward, then asked, "What did you mean when you said you weren't feeling well recently?"

The turtle, who had been led by Brook to walk a few steps, suddenly stopped and stared at Brook without saying a word.

"What's wrong, brother Haohan? Is your recent troubles related to me?" Brooke asked doubtfully.

The indestructible tortoise nodded first, then shook his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Because you killed Xiaoqiang and we failed to stop Bayin, President Ba is very disappointed in us and suspects we will bear a grudge and tip off Bai Yujing about the location of the Corpse King Palace."

Brook was stunned for a moment and said, "I was forced to fight you four by the situation. I apologized at the time. Just because I killed one of you, I suspect you? What kind of logic is your boss? Why didn't he suspect the bed was shaking that night? He was also killed by us that day. Why doesn't he suspect himself? We killed him twice."

"What kind of person is this..." Brook said angrily, and then asked the hungry turtle: "What happened next?"

"Later, we waited for a while at the entrance to the Corpse King's Palace, but it didn't open. We didn't want to wait any longer, so we went to the Centipede Cave to level up. As a result, the Tyrant Boss thought we were spies because we didn't participate in the subsequent battle with Bai Yujing." The Divine Turtle continued, "We just wanted to level up, and when we left, Bai Yujing hadn't arrived yet. Who knew that Bai Yujing would attack us the moment we left?"

"Oh, that's a coincidence." Brooke nodded and understood.

"This is all your fault. I listened to your lies and went to level up, but ended up becoming a traitor. Everyone suspects us and doesn't want to play with us anymore." The Ninja Turtle looked at Brook angrily.

"Hey, don't be anxious. I think I met Bai Yujing at the door of the stone tomb before. Let's put it this way, next time I meet him, I will talk to him and ask him to contact your boss and make it clear that you are not traitors." Brook comforted.

"It's no use! That day, the boss waited for more than 8 hours but the door still didn't open. He was very angry. Later, he had a fight with Xiaoqiang. They broke up completely and there was no going back." The divine turtle shook his head.

"Then don't go back. Why follow that domineering boss? The four of you can make your own way in the world." Brook said.

"Don't be fooled by the fact that the boss doesn't talk much. He's actually very kind to us. He often takes us on activities, gives us gold coins, and even gives us any extra good equipment. Now it's useless to say anything. I can only practice on my own." The Divine Turtle sighed and said, "Forget it, it's over. Let's go to the Centipede Cave."

Brook and Bayin followed behind. With the divine turtle leading the way, they soon arrived at the Centipede Cave. It turned out that the cave entrance was on top of a hill. No wonder the two of them couldn't find it after searching for a long time in the valley below.

"Brother Haohan, have you seen a man called the cloth shop owner in the Centipede Cave?" Brook asked tentatively.

"Yes, I have seen him. He is in the Amethyst House." said the invincible turtle.

"Oh, okay, thank you. We are going to go find him, do you want to come with us?" Brooke quickly expressed his gratitude.

"What are you looking for him for? He's just a clothes repairman. I still need to level up. I want to reach level 23 today." The indestructible turtle shook his head and said he would not go. "But my leveling place is on the way to you. You can go together first. I'll show you when we get there."

This insatiable turtle seems to have turned into a leveling maniac after not seeing him for a few days.

Brook actually had a map of Centipede Cave; all he needed to know was that the cloth shop owner was in the Amethyst House. Of course, they wouldn't refuse the Divine Turtle's offer of guidance. Thanks to the Divine Turtle's information, there were so many caves in Centipede Cave, and Brook and Bayin would have been lost searching through them, never knowing when they would find their way.

Fortunately, with the help of a noble person, the two of them avoided many detours.
