Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook and Bayin returned to the fork in the Death Coffin's V-shaped fork and began clearing the monsters in the upper half of the map. It took them an hour to clear all the monsters without any problems. They encountered two Evil Pincer Worms in the entire upper half, but unfortunately, they only dropped common items.

So, it seems there are a total of 4 evil claw worms in the Death Coffin. But it is not certain how often they will spawn.

Brook and Bayin ran back to the entrance of the Death Coffin. Many monsters had spawned here. Brook calculated the time and found that it had been almost two hours since they killed the first evil claw worm in the Death Coffin.

The two of them cleared the monsters near the entrance, leaving only a few black maggots. Because Bayin's pets had rebelled again, and they had only managed to recall two of their five level 5 pets, they needed to lure three more. They agreed to place Bayin near the entrance, while Brooke moved to an open area 7 steps away. They then separated and waited for the Evil Pincer Worms to spawn, alerting each other immediately if they spotted one.

After waiting for two minutes, a wave of small-scale monsters descended, and as expected, an evil pincer worm spawned near Brook. Brook immediately notified Bayin to come over. These small-scale monsters were few in number, scattered here and there, and one person could clear an area. Bayin stopped casting fire walls and used lightning spells in conjunction with his pet's attacks. Soon, all the monsters in the vicinity, including the evil pincer worm, were cleared. Brook picked up the evil pincer worm's helmet shell and put it in his backpack. This was the tenth one.

Brook had confirmed that the Vicious Pincers here spawned every two hours, just like the White Boars in the Stone Tomb and the Corpse Kings in the Corpse King Hall. The next Vicious Pincer would likely take another half an hour. Brook and Bayin had already cleared the Death Coffin and were no longer unfamiliar with the terrain. Initially, it felt a bit eerie, but after more than two hours, they had adjusted. Since the Vicious Pincers hadn't spawned yet, they decided to kill them and level up. Small-scale monsters were sparse, so the two decided to split up, Bayin going up and Brook going down, to speed up their leveling.

Time soon came to around 11 o'clock in the morning, and more than ten people came in one after another at the entrance of the death coffin.

“It took three hours, but we finally arrived.”

"Hey, there are no monsters here. There must be someone inside."

"Go and have a look first."

The group ran forward for a while, but still saw no human figures or monsters, but saw some level 10 equipment and jewelry on the ground. Someone in the crowd immediately ran over and picked them up.

"Boss, this place is so clean, there must be a lot of people on the other side. Why don't we go to Yixiantian to level up, there are also evil pincer worms there." Warrior Ye Xiaotian said.

"Do I, Huo Jinshan, need you to teach me how to do things?" Huo Jinshan glared at Ye Xiaotian. "This is the innermost layer of the entire Centipede Cave. There are the most evil pincer worms here, and there are also the Dragon Touching Gods. I've already come this far, and you want me to go back? You really don't know what I'm talking about!"

This group was exactly the same group Brook had encountered at the Xiangshi Tomb, Huo Jinshan and the others, only there were more of them. The Xiangshi Tomb had become so well-known that word spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. It was especially crowded during the day, and Huo Jinshan and the others had to give up. But for some reason, they had traveled all this way to level up here.

"A strong team would definitely choose the 7th floor of the Stone Tomb. It's not only close, but also has plenty of white wild boars, and you can resupply medicine there. The Death Coffin in Centipede Cave is far away and difficult to reach, and there are no merchants supplying supplies, so not many people would come. Even if there were, they would only be individual players or weaker teams," Huo Jinshan said. "We're going the other way. We're not going to compete with those people on the 7th floor of the Stone Tomb. We're leveling up and getting equipment here."

"Xiaotian, don't be dissatisfied when I say something. You say the other side has a lot of people? On the contrary, I think the number must not be large. Didn't you see that they didn't pick up the jewelry on the ground? Therefore, the people in front should be of higher level, but a small team with relatively small number of people." Huo Jinshan continued to talk.

"Boss, what should we do?" asked Taoist Xiaolin.

"With so many of us... let's see what the other side is capable of first. Xiaohui, go explore along the top of the map." Huo Jinshan displayed an aura of "those who follow me will prosper, those who oppose me will perish" and gestured, "The rest of you, follow me and head in the direction of the Dragon God."

Hocking Mountain's group jogged all the way down the map. After a few minutes, they ran into Brook who was fighting a monster.

"Oh~ friend, long time no see! I didn't expect to meet you here." Hockingshan greeted Brooke.

"Hello," Brooke greeted the newcomer. After he finished slaying the monster in front of him, he stopped invisibly. He only ordered the skeleton baby, Xiaobai, to continue attacking the other monsters. At the same time, he informed Bayin in the team that a warrior from another world had entered, and to be careful.

Both sides sized each other up. Brook saw Huo Jinshan carrying a Prayer Blade, and he couldn't tell his level. His equipment glowed brightly, clearly top-tier. The same thing happened to the warrior next to him, Ye Xiaotian, but he was holding a level 25 Frost Blade. There were eight other people, all Taoist priests and mages wearing level 8 professional uniforms. They also had some top-tier equipment, especially Taoist priest Huo Xiaolin and female mage Huo Xiaoxin, who were both fully equipped with top-tier gear. But Brook couldn't see the specific attributes.

"Hey, where did you get your Wuji Staff? You're so lucky!" Huo Jinshan was also observing Brook's equipment. He could clearly see the attributes of the equipment on Brook. In his eyes, Brook's equipment was just so-so, but only the Wuji Staff piqued his curiosity.

"I traded the Crescent Blade with someone." Brooke didn't want to tell the other person the truth, so he made up a story.

"Oh~ Are you alone? Do you want to join my team? There are 10 of us, and we can still form one more person." Huo Jinshan asked.

"No need. I already have a group." Brooke said.

"Why are you alone here? Where are the rest of your team?" Hockingshan looked around. This was already the bottom corner of the map, and he only saw Brook.

"My teammates are nearby. Why are you guys here to level up too? All the monsters have been killed. Why don't you go somewhere else to level up?" Brook said with a smile.

"Haha, my friend, you're joking. Death Coffin is such a big map, and there are more than 10 of us here just right. By the way, did you defeat the Dragon Toucher behind you?" Huo Jinshan knew that the Dragon Toucher had a chance of dropping warrior weapons such as the Moon in the Well and Taoist weapons such as the Infinite Stick.

"We just destroyed it. Nothing dropped, just a bunch of junk equipment." Brook replied.

"My friend, you're too modest. We came here hoping to defeat the Dragon Toucher, but unfortunately, you defeated us," Huo Jinshan lamented. At this moment, Xiaohui's message came through the team chat. In the entire upper half of the map, only a female mage holding a staff was visible. She was heading towards the bottom of the map.

Huo Jinshan was already confident. He smiled slightly and asked politely, "Friend, I wonder if you are willing to sell us the Wuji Stick. The price is negotiable."

"Not for sale," Brooke said bluntly. He smiled at Hockingshan. The other party's question was polite on the surface, but in reality, it was anything but polite. He knew he was a Taoist priest and needed the weapon, yet he still wanted to buy it.

"Our boss said he wants to buy it, so he must buy it. You can name any price. Is one million gold coins enough? If not, you can add more." Taoist Huo Xiaolin said. One million gold coins was indeed a lot of gold coins, and Brook only had a little over one million gold coins on him. However, buying the Wuji Staff was obviously impossible.

"No, it's not about the money. I need it myself." Brooke kept smiling and shook his head.

"Haha, if you don't want to sell it, then don't sell it. Xiaolin, Brook saved us before. He's our friend. How can you force a sale on us?" Huo Jinshan said with a smile. He looked at Brook and said, "Friend, since you don't want to join our team, it's easy for us to get hurt by mistake. Your equipment is so good, why don't you give the Death Coffin to us brothers and go level up somewhere else?"

"Boss Huo, look, we were the first ones in, so we have to follow the first-come, first-served rule. Besides, we've been fighting here for quite a while, and we're almost out of potions. Why don't you go out and fight some monsters in the narrow passage? Give us another three hours, and we'll probably be done," Brook said. He and Bayin had killed thirteen evil pincer worms so far, seven more to go. They estimated they'd complete the mission in another three hours.

"Do you know who you're talking to now? Brooke, don't think that just because I think highly of you, you're so important." Hocking Mountain suppressed his smile and said sternly to Brooke, "Who I, Hocking Mountain, praise or disparage depends on my mood. Since you're unwilling to follow me, unwilling to sell me weapons, and even unwilling to give me your territory, what gives you the right? Just you and that female wizard with a magic wand?"

"Don't say that I, Huo Jinshan, am heartless! Since you saved us once, I will give you another chance. Either join us or leave here." Huo Jinshan said coldly.

Brook looked at the group from Hocking Mountain. They were all well-equipped, with most of them being mages and Taoist priests. If they concentrated their firepower, it would be difficult for him to withstand it alone. Furthermore, the terrain was narrow, making guerrilla warfare difficult. He had no chance of success alone. Now the enemy was blocking the intersection, and he couldn't rush through.

Brooke said nothing. He was now outmatched, so he could only endure. Even if a fight broke out, he had to reunite with Bayin first. He said to Bayin in the group, "I'm not here with good intentions. Meet me at the entrance."

Brooke observed the crowd carefully. Then, with his left arm folded across his chest and his right hand resting on his chin, he seemed to be lost in thought. Finally, he slowly approached the other group. When he reached them, the group didn't move aside.

"Excuse me." Brook said.

"People can leave, but the Wuji Stick must stay! Don't say I'm unreasonable. I'll give you 100 million gold coins." Hawking looked at the empty space in front of him without even looking at Brook.

Brook turned to look at Huo Jinshan, not angry at all. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "Boss Huo, do you have a way to prevent me from using the City Return Scroll? If so, I will immediately offer you the Wuji Stick. If not, please make way."

If he wanted to prevent him from using the Town Portal Scroll, the only way Brook knew of was to petrify him. For example, if the enemy wizard summoned a baby wedge moth or other baby with paralysis and petrification abilities, there was another way to petrify him, which was the legendary artifact, the Paralysis Ring.

Of course, apart from the petrification function, the most direct method is to kill him instantly.

Brook didn't think this group of people could kill him instantly. It wasn't that their attack power was insufficient, but because Brook was already on guard.

"Okay. As we are friends, I won't make things difficult for you. But only this time. Go away, leave here immediately, and don't let me see you again." Hockingshan waved his hand, signaling his men to make way for Brooke.

Brooke couldn't help laughing when he heard him talk about friends, then shook his head and said, "I didn't say I was leaving the Death Coffin. I just wanted to leave this corner because there are no monsters here."

"I've said all the nice things I could to you, but since you're so ungrateful, let me take you back to the city." Huo Jinshan finished speaking and then said in the team chat: "Kill him!"

The mages raised their crescent moons high, unleashing lightning spells; the Taoist priests waved their right hands forward, unleashing soulfire talismans; the warriors raised their weapons, wielding a stream of sword energy towards Brook. Brook observed all these movements, and before his skills could land, he crushed the random scrolls and vanished in a flash, his skills landing on the empty space left by Brook.

Brook happened to be near the entrance and saw Bayin running towards him from a distance. When Bayin came to his side, Brook used a ghost shield and a holy armor to add temporary magic defense and temporary defense to the two of them.

"Wouldn't it be too boring to always kill monsters?"

"Kind of."

"How about some alien warriors? For a change of pace."

"Alright."

Brooke had been training too hard recently, and he felt that his face had become a little thinner. Those alien warriors were all top-notch and very fat, just right for him to replenish his energy.

How much sorrow can you have? I want to eat grilled beef with cumin.
