Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The holy water was used up again. All they could do was continue their search for the scarecrow and the deer.

It's strange, the three of us have defeated several mysterious items, and the monsters in the Unknown Dark Temple may drop mysterious items. We have tried them all and have never encountered any curses. How come the mysterious items dropped by Scarecrow and Deer are cursed?

Is there something wrong with the person? Or is there something wrong with the monster? Or is it just a coincidence?

The three of them continued to clear the monsters, their doubts intensifying. Now fully familiar with the monsters within the Unknown Dark Palace, they advanced with ease. They quickly cleared two more rooms and luckily found a genuine Evil Pincer Worm, which yielded a 2-1 Daoist Dzi Bead Necklace. Brook was still wearing a 5-1 Daoist Phoenix Necklace, and now he could finally replace it.

Brook had a feeling that the real monster bosses within the Unknown Dark Palace had a higher chance of dropping good gear than those outside. Almost every real boss had dropped something valuable. If he could encounter a real white boar, a real evil venomous snake, or even a real Womar leader, he might give it another try. The jewelry store owner in the Stone Tomb said the Womar leader could drop a teleportation ring! Excited at the thought, Brook sped up his progress.

"Let's hurry up. An hour and a half has passed, and we have only cleared 1 rooms. The one-armed old man said we can only stay in there for 6 hours. So, I have a suggestion: our main goal is to find the scarecrow and the deer. If we meet easy-to-kill monsters on the way, we can kill them as well. We should try to avoid those troublesome giant polychaetes, orc warriors, Womar guards, evil pincer worms, etc." said Brooke.

Monsters like giant polyhedral worms either have a defense of 100 or a magic defense of 100, and they have a lot of health. Killing them is time-consuming and laborious, and they don't drop many good equipment. Try to avoid them if you can.

Bayin nodded in agreement. Xiao Shuai added, "Bayin can use the Light of Temptation to lure those difficult monsters."

So the group advanced even faster. When they encountered monsters like the Orc Warrior, Bayin cast the Light of Temptation on them, instantly seducing them. The seduced monster's name would turn yellow, and it would stand still, as if hypnotized, for about 20 seconds. The group took the opportunity to quickly bypass the monster; they couldn't get too close, as if they were too close, the monster would wake up early. If the monster woke up, it wouldn't be a big deal; Bayin could use another temptation to keep it immobilized.

Xiao Shuai was right. Immobilizing the monster might be the greatest use of the Light of Temptation.

The three of them quickly cleared several rooms, overcoming some formidable monsters. In the ninth room, they encountered a genuine white boar with 9 HP and 1000-30 attack points. Seeing a boss like this wasn't a fearful experience, but rather a sense of excitement and delight, like meeting a fortune-bringing boy. In less than 55 seconds, the fortune-bringing boar was killed, and a massive explosion revealed a level 20 mage skill book, "Hell Lightning." It didn't disappoint.

When we entered the tenth room, we unexpectedly spotted a deer and a scarecrow spawning together. The room was shaped like a field, with two small paths running horizontally and vertically down the center, making it easy to position ourselves. The three of us first cleared out the surrounding monsters. Brook then lured a few difficult Womar Guardians, a Lich King, and Skeleton Elves to the corners, away from the center. Then, we returned to the center and focused on the scarecrow and deer, luring them out and killing them one by one.

This battle went smoothly, with no pets being killed. Both the Scarecrow and the Deer were very helpful, dropping two Holy Waters. The Scarecrow dropped a Dragon Ring, while the Deer was even more impressive, dropping a Blessing Oil, a Top-Grade War God Armor with 2-1 Attack, a Mysterious Bracelet, and a Mysterious Helmet.

Just after defeating the monster, before he could even pick up his gear, Bayin's four pets began to rebel. Calculating the time, it was almost exactly two hours, the exact time the pets rebelled. Bayin could only tempt the rebellious Level 4 Black Maggots one by one.

Xiao Shuai was naturally delighted to have picked up the Dragon Ring and the Supreme War God Armor. This time, he'd learned his lesson and not picked up the mysterious equipment. Brook picked up all the remaining items. Then, the two of them squatted aside to watch Bayin summon his baby.

"Look, there are two bottles of holy water now. You only need one bottle to complete the task, right? As for the remaining bottle... I mean, aren't you curious about the properties of the mysterious equipment?" Xiao Shuai didn't try on the mysterious equipment himself this time, but tried to trick Brook.

"..." Brook also wanted to try on the mysterious equipment. Mainly, he wanted to test whether Scarecrow and Deer Explosion were cursed again.

"Aren't you curious about whether Scarecrow and Deerblow's mysterious equipment is cursed?" Xiao Shuai continued to encourage him. This sentence touched Brook's heart.

"Shall we try it?" Brooke said.

"Well, try it."

"Since we're here, we can't go back with a bunch of questions, right?"

"Yeah. Let's try."

"Okay. Let's try one." Brooke took out a mysterious bracelet from his backpack and tried to put it on. But he couldn't put it on, as if something wasn't meeting the requirements.

"Hey? I can't wear this equipment. Strange, you try it." Brook handed the mysterious bracelet to Xiao Shuai.

"I'll do it!" Xiao Shuai took it and put it on smoothly. He looked at the attributes: Attack 2-2, Required Attack Power 37. No wonder Brook couldn't wear it, it turned out there was an attack power requirement.

"Hey, a bracelet with 2-2 attack. It's really useless. I already have 1-3 Reaper. Giving me a 2-2 one, wouldn't that be too much for me?" Xiao Shuai thought for a moment and said, "I still want to take Reaper. I have a necklace that increases luck now, and the high-cap attack is more suitable for me."

Xiao Shuai was about to take off the mysterious bracelet and return it to Brook, but sadly found that he couldn't take it off.

"Damn~ It's really cursed, it can't be taken off." Xiao Shuai said speechlessly.

"But I'm still not sure whether it's a problem with your character or a problem with the deer and the scarecrow." Brooke said to himself.

"Damn, didn't you see that the equipment I needed was dropped all the time today? Look at me, I have changed all my equipment. I have a very good luck, how could there be a problem?" Xiao Shuai was full of confidence.

"It's because you used all your good luck on the samurai gear, so when you wear the mystical gear, all you get is bad luck."

"Bullshit~ You can say that I was unlucky yesterday, the day before yesterday, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, but today I am absolutely lucky, and I have been having great luck! If you don't believe me, just wait and see, the equipment I use will be released later. I am 100% sure that this is not my problem! You must correct your wrong idea immediately!" Xiao Shuai said angrily.

"Well~ since you said so, I'll believe you for now. Could it be a problem with the deer and the scarecrow?" Brooke thought again.

All monsters in the Unknown Dark Palace will drop mysterious equipment, but only deer and scarecrow can drop holy water; there is no problem with the mysterious equipment of other monsters, only the deer and scarecrow will have problems; then when the deer and scarecrow drop mysterious equipment, they will also drop holy water.

Hey, isn't this holy water supposed to remove the curse from the mysterious equipment that exploded from those two? The two are perfectly aligned, one positive and one negative. The Creator had already hinted at this and provided the antidote.

I see. That's probably why. So, the mysterious equipment dropped by Scarecrow and Deer is most likely cursed. But correspondingly, the mysterious equipment they drop has better stats.

"Don't think about it for now. Give me the holy water so I can take it down." Xiao Shuai urged.

"What are you guys whispering about?" Bayin asked as she came over. She had already recruited all the babies. She had only managed to lure two of the four level 4 evil maggot babies; the rest had all died.

"Oh, Xiao Shuai is wearing another cursed mysterious bracelet. Look, another bottle of holy water is going to be wasted." Brook handed a bottle of holy water to Xiao Shuai first, then stood up and handed the last bottle of holy water to Bayin very obediently, "This is the last bottle. I'll keep it for you."

Bayin glared at Xiaoshuai fiercely. She took Brooke's holy water and put it in her backpack. No matter what Xiaoshuai said, she would not take the holy water out.

"Oh~~ I didn't expect you to do this." Xiao Shuai said angrily.

"I'm telling the truth." Brooke spread his hands. He was not wrong.

Xiao Shuai was speechless for a while. It was true, but why did he feel so unfair?

Brook and Bayin had already walked to the next room. Xiao Shuai quickly used the magic water, took off the mysterious bracelet, and kept up.

The Unknown Dark Palace had 16 rooms, with six remaining. Brook planned to explore the entire Unknown Dark Palace in three hours. After so much time, perhaps the monsters had already reappeared in the rooms they had already cleared. However, time was running out, so he could only explore once at most. Crucially, Brook felt that the first kill of a monster leader would have a higher drop rate.

There were about 50 minutes left, so Brook didn't dare to delay and moved forward quickly. When they entered the 12th room, which was the corridor room in the lower left corner of the unknown dark palace, the three encountered the real evil venomous snake. For the three people who had killed the deer and the scarecrow, this evil venomous snake with 1100 blood and 30-55 attack was simply weak. Without even taking advantage of the terrain, the three people brought their three babies and directly beat the evil venomous snake to death. The money-giving venomous snake exploded, and then a black stick-like weapon exploded on the ground. It looked like a stick and a mace, and it seemed to be emitting light. Before Brook could see it clearly, it had been picked up by Xiao Shuai.

When it comes to picking up equipment quickly, Xiao Shuai is second to none. Brook and Bayin are both impressed. Then, Xiao Shuai laughs heartily.

"I told you, there will be warrior equipment dropped. Now you believe it. Damn, a level 30 weapon, the Staff of Judgment, attack 0-30, attack strength plus 1. I can't believe it myself! Hahaha~" Xiao Shuai laughed wildly.

"Hey, hey, calm down. I really regret bringing you into the unknown dark palace. I'm really worried you'll die of laughter in there. This place is all marble bricks, it's hard to dig a hole and bury you." Brook saw Xiao Shuai still laughing and was really worried that something might happen to him. He quickly tried to stop him, "Stop laughing! If you really die of laughter, who will avenge your cousin?"

At the mention of his cousin, Xiao Shuai finally calmed down. He'd been incredibly lucky today, having changed practically everything from helmets to necklaces, bracelets to rings, weapons to clothing. He'd been incredibly excited, and it was time for a little bit of cool down.

"Okay, stop laughing. Damn, I was too excited just now and lost my composure a little. Sorry." Xiao Shuai patted Brooke, "Thank you for what I did just now. Let's go. Let's continue."

After Xiao Shuai had completely calmed down, Brooke reminded him, "So far, most of the real leaders have appeared, and the only one left is the Woma Cult Leader. Everyone, don't be careless. If you see the Woma Cult Leader, be sure to pay close attention."

Bayin and Xiaoshuai both nodded and continued to move on to the next room.

The 13th room was filled with monsters, and they soon arrived at the 14th, a "T"-shaped room. The three of them cleared out the monsters on all sides, leaving a few remaining in the central path. Xiao Shuai ran in and attacked a WoMa Cult Leader. Suddenly, he noticed his health plummeting. Suddenly remembering Brook's warning, he ran back without a word, drinking potions as he ran, pouring the Sun Water into his mouth without hesitation.

"The real leader is here! Run!" Xiao Shuai almost shouted for help.

"I see. It's okay, don't run." Brook immediately cast a collective invisibility spell, but unfortunately Xiao Shuai was still running and failed to become invisible.

"The Woma Cult Leader's movement speed is not as fast as Scarecrow. You are safe, don't panic, I will make you invisible." Xiao Shuai finally stopped, and Brook successfully made another collective invisible. The Woma Cult Leader lost his target and stopped.

The three of them stared at the nearby WoMa Cult Leader: a tall, brown monster with a bull's head and a human's body, walking upright. It had horns on its head, wings on its back, a bull's tail on its hips, and hooves under its feet. Its hands were adorned with sharp claws, and when it struck with them, the speed was so great that it crackled with lightning. They had fought many fake WoMa Cult Leaders with 100 HP before, but this real one looked no different.

"Everyone, hold still. Listen to me. The Womar Cult Leader has 2200 HP, 35-60 Attack, and 17 Defense and Magic Resistance. He can go berserk and teleport. When berserk, his attack speed is extremely fast; when emotionally agitated, he can teleport. So, I'm afraid blocking attacks won't work against him. He's a very difficult and dangerous creature, more dangerous than a deer and a scarecrow combined." Brook explained as he unleashed his support skills. He first cast a mental revelation on the Womar Cult Leader, then recast Ghost Shield and Holy War Armor on his three allies. With the increase in skill level and Taoist magic, Ghost Shield and these two skills can now last for approximately 2 seconds.

"The instant movement skill of the Woma Cult Leader must have a cooldown time, and it cannot be released continuously indefinitely, otherwise it will be invincible. Therefore, we will first take a position at the central entrance. Attack the Woma Cult Leader for a while. After a period of time, maybe a few seconds, maybe dozens of seconds, the Woma Cult Leader will definitely move instantly to Bayin and attack Bayin fiercely." Brook began to talk about tactics.

"Bayin, change your prayer ring into a demon-slaying ring. Later, you must concentrate 12% of your attention and be on guard against the leader teleporting to your side at any time. Be mentally prepared to escape at any time and be ready to drink strong solar water immediately; I will keep an eye on you and will give you collective invisibility in time. When you are safe, you must go around to my side from behind and continue to attack the leader." Brook said to Bayin.

"Xiao Shuai, if we encounter an emergency, such as the leader chasing Bayin relentlessly, or the leader violently killing the baby blocking the road, you must be at the forefront to attack the leader, draw the leader's hatred, and help everyone buy time. This is a tough battle, and we are relying on you."

"Although you explained it in great detail, it was really long-winded." Xiao Shuai said with a pout.

"I'll lead it away, you guys take your positions." Brooke said, and cast a poison spell on the Woma Cult Leader, then ran to the side and led the Cult Leader away. After a while, Bayin and Xiao Shuai were ready, and Brooke pulled the Cult Leader back to the central trail entrance.

"Attack!" With Brook's order, Bayin's lightning magic fell on the head of the Woma leader.

The battle to capture the leader of the Woma sect has officially begun.
