Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

While waiting, Brooke took the opportunity to claim the experience quest. It was the same as before, with 10 rounds, each requiring the slaying of 10 monsters. This was a Warcraft battlefield, and the front lines were naturally the most abundant. However, the quest officer said that monsters could also be encountered in uncharted areas.

Brook quickly completed the task at the Demon Soul Palace and obtained 40 jade pendant fragments and 16 formation fragments, as well as 4000 blood demon essences and 4000 diamond essences.

At this time, many monks had gathered around the mission officer, all of them rushing to receive the mission.

"Have you heard? The Zuoshao camp was just breached by monsters!"

"Really? How could it be breached?"

"I heard about it, too. I also heard that a powerful high-level monster appeared! It's a minotaur. If it steps on someone, everyone around it will be stunned!"

"Dizzy?"

"Yes, it's like paralysis, I can't move! And there's a collective dizziness, it's very scary."

"So the Left Sentinel Camp was breached by the Tauren?"

"Actually there's more than one Minotaur. It seems there are two other powerful beasts as well."

"My God!"

"So the left side of the map is very dangerous now. When you receive quests later, try not to do the quests on the left side."

"Okay, okay! Thanks for the reminder, brother."

"What about the other two routes?"

"The right route is going more smoothly. I heard that one of the monster's arrow towers was destroyed yesterday. Maybe we can recapture the entire monster's frontier camp today."

"The middle lane is still quite tense..."

The monks gathered together to discuss the news they had heard.

At this time, the time came to 6 o'clock. A new round of tasks was released.

Escort supplies, repair buildings, kill monsters, explore areas...

Many monks rushed forward to compete for the mission.

Brook was quick-witted and grabbed the task he wanted.

Explore the area: Bring the mission-specific compass and find out the latest situation of the field map in the lower left corner as soon as possible, and report back before 10 am at the latest.

Mission reward: 40 yuan, 40 merit points.

Brook opened the quest compass and found that the map was completely dark. This meant that this Warcraft battlefield had never been explored before. Brook needed to take it out for a walk in the wild, light up the map, and then return to complete the quest.

But this area is on the left side, which is the dangerous area mentioned by those monks. However, this is exactly what Brook wants.

Others don't want the left-side tasks, but he does.

Brooke felt that if the demon beasts were truly as intelligent as the monks, they should have anticipated that the human monks would gather their forces to fight back. They would either organize a large number of demon beasts to fight back, or retreat.

Shen Fang had said that even if the camp was recaptured, rebuilding it would take several days, meaning the watchtower wouldn't be repaired quickly. Since the demon beasts preferred nocturnal activity, it was daytime now, so they would likely retreat temporarily. If they wanted to expand their gains, they could wait until night to launch another attack.

So during the day, the left side should be safe.

Since the task requires completion as quickly as possible, let's set off immediately.

Brooke came to the camp on the left side of the city.

Hundreds of Dragon Guard monks were already in formation, with many more milling in and out of the tents, clearly still gathering troops and making battle preparations. Monks would occasionally rush in from outside, likely reporting on the monsters ahead. Brooke's currently acquired exploration map in the lower left corner would also be of some help in the battle.

Although Brook thought the monsters on the left would retreat, it was only a guess. Whether the monsters had truly retreated or were lying in ambush in the wild area, they had to investigate and confirm.

Brooke rushed forward. Shortly after leaving the camp, a fork in the road turned right, leading to the wilderness. From here, Brooke's mission officially began.

Brooke paused.

@serching Swordmaster Samuro

@serching Orc Prophet Thrall

@serchingTauren Chieftain Bloodhoof

The detection necklace is unresponsive. Due to the unique nature of the Warcraft battlefield, maps you haven't visited won't display terrain or coordinates, which is why the detection necklace can't find anything.

This is exactly one of the purposes of Brooke accepting the exploration mission: to walk through the unknown area and light up the map.

The detection necklace is not useful for the time being, so I can only rely on Xiaobai.

"Xiaobai, if you find a powerful monster, be sure to tell me."

"Okay, master."

Brook felt relieved with Xiaobai around, so he quickly ran to the right along the road.

The terrain was typical of a canyon, with rock walls and trees on either side. The road was quiet, the terrain gradually ascending, and occasionally the crisp chirping of birds and the sound of Brook running lightly on the ground could be heard from the valley.

There was a fork in the road ahead, one going right and the other going up along the map. Brook chose to go right first, because he had to go through all these roads anyway.

The road started to go downhill, and after a while, a large road appeared in front of us. It turned out that the small road on the right led to the middle road.

Now they needed to return the same way, but Brook didn't need to run. Seeing that no one was around, Brook directly activated the teleportation ring.

@move 1943

Brook had appeared at the previous fork in the road and continued along another upward path.

After 15 minutes, there was another three-way intersection ahead: left, up, and right.

Brook went to the left first. It turned out that the mountain path on the left could lead to the main road on the left. Brook speculated that the Tauren Chieftain Bloodhoof might have gone out from here to intercept the reinforcements of the monks.

Then he turned right. The path on the right branched off into several more branches, creating a complex terrain. Brooke tried each one, going down first, then up, then left, then right. It turned out the path on the right led to the main road in the middle, or straight up, leading to a wide river in the center of the map. This was the river Yuan Bufan had mentioned, the one that divided the entire Warcraft battlefield map in two, and Yuan Bufan had also mentioned that the river was very dangerous.

The river was not within the scope of this exploration, so Brook retreated.

Brook also discovered three monsters in a sunken valley on the right: two-headed shadow wolves. One large and two small. The large two-headed shadow wolf had 1300 million health and 4200 attack. The small shadow wolf had 380 million health and 1300 attack.

Brook felt he could defeat these three wolves. However, they still had too much health. With Brook's current attack power, it would take at least an hour. Xiaobai didn't see any good equipment dropping from them, so Brook gave up decisively and chose to go around them from the front without disturbing them.

Brook returned to the fork in the road and entered the unexplored area above.

A patch of dense grass appeared ahead. Wenren Tianxiang had said that their team had been ambushed by a monster in the grass.

"Xiaobai, are there any powerful monsters in that bush?" Brook stopped from a distance and looked for Xiaobai to confirm first.

"I can't sense it." Xiaobai responded.

Brooke slowly approached.

Since Xiaobai can only sense powerful monsters, ordinary monsters and humanoid monsters are not sensed by Xiaobai. Therefore, Brook still did not rush in, but commanded Qiankun Shenglong Beast to go in, let it search inside, and confirm that there was no danger, and then went in.

Brook squatted and looked out from the bushes. On the other side of the bushes, he found another wild monster: the Blue Carved Golem, with 2100 million health points and 8200 attack power.

Brook ignored it and quietly walked around it. 2000 yards to the left, in a low-lying swamp, he found a third wild monster: the Frog, with 1800 million health and 7000 attack power.

I didn't startle it either, and continued walking forward until I finally reached the last fork in the road.

Continuing forward, you will enter the river area; on the left, you will be led to the Left Sentry Camp. This road is actually the right path of the Left Sentry Camp.

Brooke spent two hours quickly walking through the lower left corner of the outdoor map. The lower left corner of the mission compass map was completely lit up, and several blue dots were marked, indicating the locations of wild monsters. He immediately returned to the city and handed the mission compass to the mission officer.

This exploration mission was much simpler than Brooke had imagined.

The mission officer was delighted, not only because Brook had completed the mission ahead of schedule, but also because he had confirmed that there were no ambushes hidden in the wild area. He needed to report this news immediately, so the Imperial Guard could easily recapture the outpost.

Due to Brook's outstanding performance, the mission officer gave him a double reward: 80 yuanbao plus 80 honor points.

It was still early, and Brooke wanted to continue his quests. He discovered there were three more exploration quests: exploring the river area on the left, the monster wild area in the upper left corner, and the monster wild area in the upper right corner. The rewards for all three quests were excellent. The left river exploration quest, in particular, likely related to retaking the Left Sentinel Camp, offered a surprising reward of 3 Yuanbao, 3 Honor Points, and a Rank Five Pill!

What's strange is that no one came to claim such a good quest reward. There were clearly quite a few monks around waiting to receive the quest.

"Mr. Mission Officer, why hasn't anyone come to claim these remaining exploration missions yet?" Brooke asked.

"Because these areas are often infested with monsters, they are very dangerous. These are difficult tasks. They cannot be completed easily. It is recommended to form a team to receive them." said the mission officer.

The rewards for each mission are fixed. They can be claimed individually or as a team. If you're working alone, the rewards go to you alone; if you're working as a team, you'll need to discuss the rewards with your teammates.

The mission officer said they were dangerous, but with the detection necklace and Xiaobai's help, it might not be difficult for Brooke. However, Brooke still wanted to confirm it again.

"Excuse me, for this mission to explore the river area on the left, does it only require walking along the riverbank of our position?"

"Of course it's not that simple. We need to explore not only our riverside, but also the monster's side. Not only that, on the side close to the monster, there is a dock called Storm Harbor and a large abandoned shipwreck. These two places also need to be explored." said the mission officer.

"Storm Harbor? What a strange name. Although the river is wide, could there be storms?" Brooke asked curiously.

"Storm Harbor was built by the people of the Empire who migrated here many years ago. When the rainy season arrives, the river rises dramatically, making it even wider and more prone to storms. But the name is no longer important, as the harbor is now abandoned and completely overrun by demonic beasts. I can tell you in advance that there are many humanoid monsters in the harbor and on the sunken ship, and there might even be demonic beasts. Therefore, this is no easy task."

Brooke understood.

This quest rewards a 5th-level elixir, and the duration is quite generous. The key is that you only need to explore and walk along the map; you don't need to eliminate any monsters.

It may be difficult for others, but for Brook who has the teleportation ring, even if it is only 4 turns, there is still hope of completing it.

"What if I don't complete the task within the specified time after receiving it?" Brooke needed final confirmation.

"You need to report to the Imperial Guard and serve for three days. You are not allowed to accept other tasks or rewards during these three days. This includes basic tasks such as experience and Demon Soul Hall." The mission officer replied.

3 days of service... no problem, acceptable.

"Sir, I would like to accept the task of exploring the river on the left."

"Are you alone? Are you sure? Please think twice." It was obvious that the mission officer was not optimistic about Brooke.

If no one accepted these difficult missions, the Dragon Guard would dispatch their own teams to carry them out. If Brook accepted them but ultimately failed to complete them, the personal punishment would be minor, but the Dragon Guard would be unable to obtain accurate intelligence, delaying the recapture of the outpost camp.

"Don't worry, sir. I've thought it over and I'm sure." Brook said seriously.
