Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

After the three of them cleared a room, they prepared to move upwards.

The two rooms of the Unknown Dark Palace are connected by a wide passage. The passage is not long, about half the length of the room, and many monsters stay in the passage.

Brook still used mental revelation to explore one by one, and then killed them one by one. Although this method was safe, it also resulted in slow progress.

After clearing the passage, the three entered the second room.

The previous room was completely empty, with nothing blocking it. This one, however, was even larger, shaped like a field. Four broad avenues surrounded it, and two intersecting paths in the middle, barely wide enough for two people to pass side by side. The monsters in this room were quite dense, requiring more time to clear.

The most numerous monsters within the Unknown Dark Temple were the 100 HP Womar Cult Leader, followed by the 200 HP Vicious Vipers, and then the 400 HP White Boars. These three counterfeit bosses made up the majority of the enemy. Initially, Brook was cautious when encountering them, using Mind Revelation to investigate. Gradually, he grew accustomed to them, realizing they were minor monsters, and to expedite his progress, he simply killed them.

Two new monsters appeared in this room: the Corpse King and the Skeleton Elf. They both had 800 HP and 0-60 Attack. The Corpse King had 100 Defense and 0 Magic Resistance, while the Skeleton Elf had 0 Defense and 100 Magic Resistance. Before attacking these unique monsters, Brook would remind them that some required physical attacks, while others could only be dealt with spells. Ultimately, they were defeated without much difficulty, yielding several level 20+ weapons and clothing.

It took the three of them over 20 minutes to kill all the monsters in the room. Although they didn't encounter the Scarecrow or the Deer, they did find two mysterious items: a bracelet and a ring. The mysterious bracelet had a Defense of 2-0 and a Magic Resistance of 2-0. The mysterious ring had a Magic of 1-0 and an Attack of 2-0. Their stats weren't great, so they were thrown away.

The three continued their ascent. Brook, walking in front, heard a familiar rustling sound. He took a few steps and saw a scarecrow leaning against the wall, seemingly dozing. Brook gave it a telepathic revelation: "1000 HP!" After a moment's thought, Brook retreated before launching an attack.

"There's a scarecrow up ahead. Let's discuss how to defeat it," said Brooke.

"You and Bayin stand on either side, and let it fly the kite back and forth in the middle?" Xiao Shuai suggested.

"The Scarecrow's magic resistance and defense are very high, reaching 30. Bayin and I won't be able to kill it in a short time, and if we take too long, it will easily cause problems. For example, if my Soul Fire Talisman deals less than 30 damage, the Scarecrow will ignore my presence and keep rushing towards Bayin. And its movement speed is relatively fast, so Bayin will be in danger." Brook shook his head. The kite-flying method is more dangerous. Other monsters can be used in this way, but not the Scarecrow. The Taoist's Soul Fire Talisman's damage is not high. Even though he currently has 8-33 Taoist magic, the damage will still fall below 30.

"Just like the roasting of pigs in the stone tomb before, I will use the wheel babies to surround me in the corner, and you can cast collective invisibility on the babies." Bayin suggested.

Brooke thought about it, then shook his head, still feeling uneasy. "This method is still somewhat dangerous. We were once discovered while invisible in the stone tomb. Although we were invisible, the monster was standing nearby and staying too close for a long time, which eventually led to it seeing through our invisibility. This scarecrow has too high an attack power. If it's discovered, and you're stuck in a corner and can't get out, it's very dangerous."

Brooke looked around and pointed to the small path in the middle of the room. "This path is very narrow, only enough for two people to pass through. You put the baby there and stand behind him. If you encounter danger, you can also escape from the back."

Bayin looked at the terrain and nodded in agreement.

"What about me? Can I just stand behind and watch?" Xiao Shuai asked. He really wanted to go up and chop the scarecrow.

"You can stand behind Bayin's baby and use assassination to attack the scarecrow," Brook said. The second attack of assassination ignores defense, which can cause considerable damage to a monster with very high defense and magic resistance.

After the three of them finished their discussion, Bayin and Xiaoshuai ran back to the central path in the room to take their positions. A moment later, Bayin's voice rang out from the group, announcing that the two were ready. Brook then unleashed a red poison, then a green poison, at the scarecrow, increasing its damage and causing it to continue losing health.

The scarecrow from Ginkgo Village would stop after every step, limping slowly as it walked. However, the scarecrow from the Unknown Dark Palace moved like an arrow, its footsteps rustling continuously, without pausing at all, as it charged directly towards Brook.

Brook, prepared, immediately turned and ran toward the center of the room. His running speed was still significantly faster than the scarecrow's walking speed. After a while, he led the scarecrow to the center of the room, to the small path blocked by the black evil maggot baby. Bayin had already spotted the scarecrow, and with just enough range to attack, he immediately launched a lightning spell at the scarecrow. The lightning spell, which had previously been highly damaging and invincible, only knocked off 18 points of the scarecrow's health this time, demonstrating the scarecrow's high magic defense.

The scarecrow continued to pursue Brook, but Brook paused, making himself invisible. The scarecrow then rushed toward Bayin, and Brook cast a collective invisibility spell on the two maggots blocking the path. The scarecrow, limited to close-range physical attacks, began to feel lost, pacing the center of the room like a headless fly, now near the left wall, now back to the path, now running to the base of the right wall, unable to find a way to attack Bayin.

The scarecrow moves very quickly, and when it passes by the path, Xiao Shuai, hiding behind it, will use a stab attack, which can knock off 25 points of the scarecrow's health, which is more powerful than Bayin's lightning. Unfortunately, the scarecrow will move away quickly, so you can only use the stab attack once or twice each time.

Brook was in invisible mode, standing not far from the scarecrow. After a while, Brook estimated that the poisoning effect was about to wear off, so he poisoned the scarecrow again and cast collective invisibility on the babies blocking the road again.

Bayin had been attacking for nearly a minute, and by then, the scarecrow's health had been largely reduced to half. Brook sensed its anxiety, moving ever faster. As they passed the small intersection again, the scarecrow suddenly seemed to have a sudden realization, realizing that the creature blocking the path was alive, and launched a direct attack on the invisible Level 1 Evil Maggot Baby.

"Bayin, stop attacking!" Brooke said, and immediately cast a poison spell on the scarecrow. The first time he cast the poison spell, the scarecrow continued to attack the evil maggot baby. The second time he cast the poison spell, there was still no reaction. The third time he cast the poison spell, the scarecrow finally shifted its hatred, turned around, and rushed towards Brooke.

Brook immediately took two steps back and then turned invisible. The Scarecrow lost its target and stopped where it was.

Brooke quickly casts healing magic on the injured Maggot Baby. If it is attacked by Scarecrow twice more, it will die.

"Alright, keep attacking." Seeing the danger averted, the three continued their assault on the Scarecrow. Brooke occasionally unleashed support skills like telepathy, collective invisibility, and poison. When the Scarecrow was nearing its limit of health, it unleashed another fury, attacking the invisible Evil Maggot Baby blocking its path as if with a divine eye. Fortunately, Bayin and Brooke coordinated perfectly, one immediately halting the attack while the other used poison to lure the Scarecrow away, averting another crisis without incident.

As Bayin's last lightning spell fell, the scarecrow with only a sliver of health finally turned into a pile of ashes with a bang. Although it did not explode, it dropped 6 items.

A book called "Crescent Blade", a glowing memory helmet, a mysterious helmet, an ordinary demon-slaying sword, an ordinary demon-slaying ring, and the last item is a small bottle of potion called Holy Water.

Brook ignored the other items and ran directly to the holy water. He was a little excited and picked it up carefully. For this holy water, he risked his life to enter the unknown dark palace and spent 40 gold coins on the transportation fee. After finally killing the scarecrow, he finally got the holy water out.

Bayin ordered the baby to make way, Xiaoshuai rushed out immediately, quickly picked up the "Crescent Blade", the memory helmet and the mysterious helmet, and when he saw the attributes, he laughed out loud.

Bayin walked over slowly and picked up the last two ordinary pieces of equipment. She didn't mind selling them to the store. She came to Brook's side and took the bottle of holy water from him. She examined it carefully. Even through the bottle, she could still sense the magical power flowing through it. It was extremely extraordinary.

After a while of watching, Bayin carefully put the holy water into her backpack. With it, she could break Old Wu's curse and complete the mission. She could almost guess what Old Wu's reward would be. Old Wu had said before that he had collected a lot of blessed oil, so the reward was likely to be blessed oil, and more than one bottle.

At this time, Xiao Shuai was still laughing, and Brook couldn't help but say: "This guy must be crazy. Isn't it just a copy of "Half Moon Scimitar" and a memory helmet? Is it necessary to laugh like this?"

Hearing this, Xiao Shuai laughed even harder. Without saying anything, he directly approached Brook and asked for a trade, handing him the memory helmet.

Brooke took one look and blurted out, "Holy crap! That's awesome!"

记忆头盔：防御3-3，攻击0-4，需要等级26。

No wonder this guy kept laughing like crazy, this attribute is really top-notch, and he happened to be level 26 to wear it. Brook turned around and told Bayin the attributes of the memory helmet. Bayin also widened his eyes, feeling a little incredible.

Suddenly, Xiao Shuai's laughter stopped. He tried to pull the helmet on his head, but it didn't move. He lowered his head and shook it hard, swinging it left and right, scaring Brook and Bayin so much that they took several steps back. Could he be really crazy?

"Damn! I can't take off this mysterious helmet~" Xiao Shuai screamed in horror.

Bayin and Brook looked at each other, then couldn't help laughing. It turned out to be a cursed mysterious helmet.

"Are you still laughing? Come and help me, find a way to take it off. Brook, just find a knife and chop it off the helmet. Don't worry, I have thick skin, one or two cuts won't kill me." Xiao Shuai was anxious, and tried all kinds of methods to help his condition, and actually let Brook chop his head with a knife.

"Oh, don't be impatient. Can you first tell me what the properties of this helmet are?" Brook comforted.

“防御0-2，魔御0-1，攻击0-2，需要攻击力36。”笑帅回答。

"The properties are good. The reason you can't take off this helmet is because it's cursed, and the curse can only be lifted with holy water. Why don't you just wear it." Brook explained to Xiao Shuai.

Xiao Shuai was stunned. Then he said, "Didn't you just pick up some holy water? Bring it to me and remove the curse!"

"Oh, we need this holy water to complete the task. Moreover, the holy water has been given to Bayin." Brook deliberately made Shuai laugh.

"Just let me use it first, and then I can make a scarecrow and get some magic water, and it will be over." Xiao Shuai said anxiously.

"I don't know if there will be more holy water. Why don't you wear this mysterious helmet first? It adds 2 points of attack and has good attributes. I'll give it to you when the next holy water drops?" Bayin also joked.

"Bayin~sister~you are my real sister~please have pity on me~There is a memory helmet with 0-4 attack waiting for me, I am so anxious~" Xiao Shuai kept bowing to Bayin.

Bayin was so confused by Xiao Shuai that he had no choice but to take out the magic water from his backpack and hand it to Xiao Shuai.

Xiao Shuai took it, immediately opened the bottle, and sprinkled the holy water onto the mysterious helmet on his head. A burst of magic flowed, and with a soft hiss, a puff of green smoke rose from the mysterious helmet, finally removing the curse. Xiao Shuai tried to remove the helmet, and this time it worked without a hitch. He threw the helmet to the ground, looking as if he couldn't wait to stomp on it.

"It's a helmet that adds 2 points of attack after all. It would be a shame to throw it away." Brook said.
