Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook observed the situation of the monsters. These monsters not only had high health, but also high attack power. Although it was not increased tenfold like the health, the attack power was doubled, similar to the ancient chiefs in the suburbs of the Dragon Empire.

Could these be the so-called magical beasts? Judging from their strength, they should be primary magical beasts. Brook looked solemnly and looked more carefully.

"First time here? Don't be nervous. These are just ordinary monsters." Jiang Baoshu, a rank 5 Taoist priest next to him said.

"With so much health, it's just an ordinary monster? I thought it was a Warcraft." Brook said.

"If it is really a Warcraft, its health would not be so much. Warcraft has very strong attacks, but relatively less health." Jiang Baoshu said.

"Brother Jiang, how do you distinguish between demon beasts and monsters?"

"Most magical beasts look similar to ordinary leaders. At this point, we need to look at their names. Each magical beast has its own unique name, just like we monks have names. There are also special magical beasts that can be spotted at a glance because their appearance is different and unique. These magical beasts are often extremely powerful. If you encounter one, run away quickly."

"But they can't be simply distinguished by name or appearance, because some monsters deliberately don't reveal their names, just like we use titles to hide our real names."

"So, if you really want to distinguish them, you have to observe them. Observe whether their movements are agile, and whether their health and attacks are different from other monsters."

"Another point is that if a monster really attacks, humanoid monsters will often appear nearby."

"In short, Warcraft are intelligent monsters. Their behavior is different from ordinary monsters. You will understand next time you encounter one." Jiang Baoshu explained patiently.

Brooke nodded: "Thank you, Brother Jiang, for telling me!"

"You are welcome."

While the two were talking, all the ordinary monsters on the battlefield had been killed, leaving only about ten or so leader monsters.

While the monsters were powerful, the Imperial Guard monks were even stronger. With the watchtowers' sustained damage and the frontline soldiers' coordinated efforts, the leaders fell one after another. In less than five minutes, all the leaders were wiped out. Over ten Fire Dragon and Tongyun equipment items dropped, but only one Taurus item, representing a moderate drop rate.

"It's our turn, go!" Team leader Wang Tao waved his hand and led the team to the front line. Suddenly, he turned back and said, "Brooke, you stay under the tower."

"Yes!" Brooke replied.

Wang Tao and the previous fighter exchanged a palm strike, completing the shift change. The previous squad retreated, with Wang Tao, Zhao Jianxing, and four other warriors standing in the front row. Taoists Jiang Baoshu and Xin Fei were in the middle, while mages Bird, Lan Die, and others were in the back. Even the mages were stationed outside the exit, over 4 yards from the watchtower.

Wang Tao's team was responsible for guarding the right tower. There were two other teams, one responsible for the middle of the exit, and the other for guarding the left tower.

Brook stood alone at the foot of the tower, looking calm and not feeling embarrassed at all.

Don't let him participate in the battle? Look down on him? It doesn't matter. His purpose today was not to fight, but to observe and learn.

According to the sounds I heard in the tent earlier, the monsters attack in waves every 15 minutes. The next wave is about 7 or 8 minutes away. No rush.

Brooke turned his gaze to the right.

On the right, there's a path about 10 yards wide, flanked by trees. Listening carefully, I can hear the faint sound of water, suggesting a river in the woods.

But there were three teams of monks stationed at the front exit, so why wasn't anyone guarding the right exit? It must be because the monsters wouldn't attack from the right.

Brook was looking around when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"Brooke! It's you!" a low voice came.

Brook looked back and saw a big man wearing a light golden hat and a gray veil, whose title was Centurion.

"Who are you?" Brooke was a little confused and couldn't remember who the other person was for a moment.

"...You don't even remember me!" The big man pulled off the veil and glared at Brooke fiercely.

"Could it be that you are..." Brooke had some impression, but was still not sure.

"It's me!" The big man directly replaced the title with his real name.

"Oh~ You are the one who auctioned the ore! Ah~ Is your injury healed?" Brook asked with concern.

The person who came was Yuan Bufan, a rank 5 casual cultivator who had competed with Brook for the imperial mausoleum ore, bought it for 2 Yuanbao, but in the end dug out nothing and was so angry that he vomited blood and fainted.

He had been tricked by Brook before, and his entire savings had been destroyed. Upon waking, he was devastated and should have hated Brook to the core, but he was a reasonable man, knowing that bidding at the ore auction was voluntary and that he couldn't blame anyone else. Furthermore, he heard that when he fainted, everyone else stepped away, but Brook was the only one who stepped forward to help him cast a healing spell, and his resentment inevitably lessened.

"Hmph!" Yuan Bufan was still very unhappy when he saw Brook, but the Warcraft battlefield prohibited internal fighting among monks. He had no place to vent his anger and could only groan.

"Brother Yuan, why are you here too?" Brook asked in a familiar manner.

"Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? You're just a rank 4 cultivator, and you actually dare to come to the Warcraft battlefield!" Yuan Bufan said unhappily.

Brook finally heard the resentment in the other party's tone, so he smiled bitterly and said:

"In fact, the ore auction, where we argued over and over again and raised the price so high, did not benefit anyone. The only one who really benefited was Wolong Villa. After you left, I also lost tens of thousands. In fact, you and I are both victims. For this kind of thing, you have to think it through yourself." Brooke comforted.

"Humph! I heard you opened a Primordial Heaven-Swallowing Shield, how could you lose?!"

"It was because I activated the Primordial Heaven-Devouring Shield that I was hunted by the people from Wolong Villa. I had no choice but to hide here."

"Oh? Is that so? Haha, this is really gratifying." Yuan Bufan felt a little better when he heard that Brook was being chased.

"Brother Yuan, what about you? Do you like coming to the Warcraft battlefield?"

"Only a ghost would like it! If I hadn't run out of money and couldn't even pay the daily taxes, I wouldn't have come to this Warcraft battlefield." Yuan Bufan said hatefully. When he thought of his more than 5 gold ingots, he felt a pang of heartache.

You should know that the higher your reincarnation level, the more tax you have to pay. In the Warcraft battlefield, while dangerous, as long as you complete daily tasks, even the most basic ones, you don't have to pay taxes. Of course, the number of simple tasks is limited, so you have to be able to grab them.

"Brother Yuan, you're worried because you have no money. It's a small problem. Do you have a 5-transfer order? If so, I can help you solve this problem." Brook said.

"kindness?"

"Ask if you have a 5-turn order."

"No."

"What a shame. There's not even a rank 6 cultivator like you. Is it really that hard to find a rank 5 pill?"

"So you want a 5th rank pill. Haha, to get one, you have to kill a high-level monster. But those monsters are often powerful and clever. Even if they're out of health, they'll flee, making them difficult to kill. I did find a 5th rank pill once, but I couldn't bear to eat it myself, so I sold it to the Chamber of Commerce for 1 Yuanbao."

"Isn't it 6600?" Brook asked. Because the amount of blood essence required for each bloodline node to upgrade from 4th to 5th is 6600.

"Reincarnation Pills above level 5 are not easy to obtain, so they are quite expensive. The Chamber of Commerce will charge a high price for them."

"Alright. Brother Yuan, if you get a 5th-level order next time, please sell it to me," Brooke said familiarly. "By the way, Brother Yuan, are you coming to the outpost camp for a quest?"

"Yeah. I've been assigned a patrol mission. We're supposed to patrol the area 500 yards to the right of the outpost camp all night. Damn it, all the easy missions have been taken, leaving only this dangerous one. No one wants to take it except me, and I'm a mage, damn it!"

"Um~Brother Yuan, if you encounter any danger, you can call me for help. Let's add me as a friend first." Brooke sent over a friend request.

"You? Forget it. A 4th-turn Taoist priest, what can I do to help? The time is up, no more talking, I have to go on patrol!" After Yuan Bufan said this, he picked up the hot-blooded magic wand and walked out to the right.

After a while, Brooke received a message that Yuan Bufan had been successfully added as a friend.
