Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Captain Cullinan was supposed to pick up the items that had been dropped, but the equipment on the ground was so good that Qin Shan and Chu Huaiyu, who were closest to it, subconsciously picked up one each.

"Huh? Give me the equipment. I'll be in charge of the auction." Cullinan stared at Qin Shan and Chu Huaiyu and said coldly.

Chu Huaiyu thought about it and handed over the fashion fragments. Although the fashion fragments were good, she still decided to hand them over.

Qin Shan said, "This golden bull hat is compensation for my brother Qin Chuan."

Those who die and leave the team will no longer be able to obtain mission rewards.

Cullinan was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay. The golden bull hat is both compensation for him and a reward for you and Qin Hai for killing the Bull-Headed Chief. This won't happen again."

Cullinan turned to look at the crowd and continued, "Everyone, without my Zodiac Freeze, it would be impossible to kill this Minotaur Chieftain. Therefore, I will take one piece of equipment first. Of course, I will not participate in the splitting of the gold ingots from the auction. I'm sure you all have no objection to me doing this, right?"

Everyone looked at each other and chose to remain silent.

"Okay, then I'll choose the costume fragments. For the next three pieces of equipment, the seven of you will bid. Qin Shan, Qin Hai, and I will not participate."

Ten costume fragments could be combined to create a basic costume. The value of a costume was second only to that of a divine artifact. Brook estimated that this costume fragment was worth at least 10 gold coins, and it was a rare item that could not be purchased even with money.

Cullinan simply pocketed the costume fragments. It was a powerful move, but it also proved his worth, and he truly deserved the credit. The others were speechless, even thinking, "If they could kill the first powerful beast, they could kill the second. All they had to do was follow Cullinan."

Brooke didn't participate in the auction. He certainly wanted the 6th level pill, but he didn't have any gold ingots, so he could only watch the others bid.

Chu Huaizhu bought the 6th rank pill for 1 Yuanbao, Huang Zhen bought the Supreme Gem for 1 Yuanbao, and Xiong Dalin bought the Hot-Blooded Combat Boots for 1500 Yuanbao. The prices for internal team auctions are generally lower than the market price.

In the end, the remaining seven people split the gold ingots raised from the auction. Since the winners of the auctions didn't participate in the gold ingot division, the gold ingots were actually divided equally among six people. Brooke ultimately received 7 gold ingots, a respectable sum.

Yuan Bufan also didn't have much money, so he didn't bid for the equipment. Although he got some gold ingots, he felt very angry. For example, the 6th rank pill, the Chamber of Commerce's purchase price was 2 gold ingots. Unfortunately, because he didn't have enough money, he could only watch others buy it at a lower price. It was so infuriating!

The auction was over, and everyone had gained something. Cullinan was very satisfied and felt that he had led the way. He said:

"This is just the first of the strongest high-level monsters. As long as everyone follows me, there will be another one. If we kill a few more, the completion rate of the exploration mission will be higher, and the mission rewards will be better! Now, let's continue. Dalin, you will be the scout this time. Try to stay close to the cliff. If you encounter danger, get out of the way. Be safe."

"Okay Captain."

The team set out again, with Xiong Dalin walking in front, continuing to explore along the road to the lower right.

When they passed by the Frog's territory, they found it had disappeared. They didn't know if it had been killed by the Tauren Chieftain or by some other monster. In short, the monsters were gone, except for the human monks, so it must have been the monster's doing.

Everyone felt something was wrong.

"Don't be afraid, Dalin, I'm here. Keep moving forward." Cullinan encouraged.

This place is very close to the orc camp, but we haven't encountered any monsters along the way.

There was a three-way intersection ahead. Above was the territory of the Magic Frog, which was where they had just passed; to the left was another path separated by a curved rock wall; to the right was the Monster Cave Camp.

Xiong Dalin commanded the sacred beast to walk into the grass. The baby walked back and forth in it and found nothing unusual.

Xiong Dalin walked in, confirmed that everything was ok, and said:

"It's okay, come in."

Just as he finished speaking, a sword light suddenly burst out and slashed his back fiercely. A critical hit! 3 HP! The protective shield was directly shattered.

Xiong Dalin didn't react, and stupidly turned around to look back. The sword light had already slashed down again. 2! Instant kill!

Xiong Dalin quits the team!

The crowd hadn't noticed the team's reduction in numbers and continued to move forward.

Brook had already stopped. Xiaobai reminded him that a powerful monster had appeared ahead. The monster had come out from behind the cliff, and Xiaobai had just discovered it.

Cullinan, walking in the front, had already entered the brush and came face to face with the Sword Master. A fierce sword beam slashed down, and Cullinan's pupils shrank, and he reflexively raised his shield to block.

With a muffled groan, he lost 2 HP, a full quarter!

Cullinan was shocked! He had the Domination Shield and a Level 5 Body Shield, yet he still lost so much health! If he didn't have the Body Shield, wouldn't he have lost half of his health?

This monster's attack is too strong! There's no way to defeat it.

Cullinan turned around without hesitation and made a violent charge towards the rock wall, passing Qin Shan and Chu Huaiyu.

"Run!" Cullinan said only one word, and then flashed to the other side of the rock wall.

Everyone was stunned. No one, including Brook, had expected Cullinan to run so quickly and decisively.

I wanted to see if this confident captain could lead the team to kill the Sword Master, but I didn't expect the protagonist to just run away. It seems I was overthinking it.

The Sword Master burst out from the brush. Everyone finally understood why Cullinan was running. They followed suit, retreating toward the rock face.

Brook suddenly grabbed Yuan Bufan who was about to flash over the wall.

Yuan Bufan looked over in confusion.

"Check the team news!" Brook said.

When Yuan Bufan saw it, he was stunned.

Cullinan withdraws from the team!

What happened? Cullinan was a rank 6 warrior, and he still had 6 HP when he flashed over. How could he die so quickly?

Brooke had already guessed it. There were three other powerful beasts in the right-hand beast crypt camp. Only if those three powerful beasts attacked simultaneously could they instantly kill the rank 3 cultivator.

Those monsters have been lying in ambush over there for a long time, and this bush is a trap.

Brooke made a prompt decision, turned around and ran back along the same path he had come from. Yuan Bufan quickly followed.

Most of the team dodged to the other side of the rock face, but Qin Shan and Qin Hai did not. They discovered in time that Cullinan had died and had been eliminated from the group, so they turned and ran.

Brook was in front, followed closely by Yuan Bufan; Qin Shan and Qin Hai were in the middle; and finally the Sword Saint came in pursuit.

Soon, information came from the team.

Xiong Dalin quit the team.

Xiong Xiaolin quit the team.

Huang Zhen quit the team.

Chu Huaiyu quit the team.

Chu Huaizhu quit the team.

Immediately afterwards, a scream came from behind. It was Qin Hai's voice.

Qin Hai quit the team.

Brook continued running without distraction, gradually widening the distance between him and the Sword Master.

Half a minute later, Qin Shan, the only one left in the team, also left the team!

Only Brook and Yuan Bufan were left! They had already reached the territory of the Magic Swamp Frog and had completely distanced themselves from the Sword Saint.

Suddenly, Xiaobai reminded again that a powerful monster appeared in front of him, it was the orc prophet Thrall!

"Go back to the city!" Brook stopped and turned around and said.

"What?" Yuan Bufan also stopped.

"If you don't want to die, go back to the city immediately!"

Yuan Bufan looked at Brooke in confusion and said, "We've already distanced ourselves from the Sword Saint. It won't be able to catch up to us in a short time. If we return to the city now, we won't have time to run back, and the mission will fail. Also, you asked me to return to the city, why aren't you doing it?"

"Trust me, go back to the city immediately!" Brook finally advised.

Yuan Bufan's mind raced as he finally activated the City Return Stone. A white light flashed above his head, and the 8-second countdown began.

The Prophet was 50 yards ahead. The Blademaster was 100 yards behind. With 8 seconds, there was still time.

"What will you do if I leave? What about the mission?" Yuan Bufan continued to ask.

"You have to go get the mission compass. Don't worry, I won't die easily. You have to understand that only by staying alive can you have a chance to get the mission reward." Brook replied.

The 8-second countdown is about to end.

Suddenly, Yuan Bufan screamed, and the return-to-city positioning light circle above his head was interrupted!

Two black war wolves appeared beside him. They looked very similar to the wargs of the prophet Thrall, with a dark color and a faint appearance.

"Oh no! This is the shadow wolf summoned by Prophet Thrall! Prophet Thrall is nearby." Yuan Bufan said in shock.

The Shadow Wolves' attack power is over 4000, which is not high, but they can be invisible. I didn't expect to be interrupted by them at the last moment of returning to the city.

That's too late!

Brooke placed an invisible reconnaissance guard on the ground. Finally, he said to Yuan Bufan:

"Remember what I said before. If you die, wait a few minutes before resurrecting. Maybe the Life Magic Fountain will work wonders!"

Without waiting for Yuan Bufan to answer, Brook ran forward and disappeared into the fog.

Yuan Bufan was stunned. Why did Brook leave him alone and run away? There are still two Shadow Wolves here. At least they can help fight them!

How disloyal!

That's not right. Brooke shouldn't be that kind of person.

Where did that guy run to? This damn fog makes it hard to see.

While dealing with two shadow wolves, Yuan Bufan searched for Brooke. He didn't find Brooke, but saw the prophet Thrall riding a wolf.

Prophet Thrall struck Yuan Bufan with a lightning chain, shattering his shield. He then swung out white lightning balls from his staff, and with the two shadow wolves entangled, even with his magic shield, his health continued to drop.

This is not a solution, we have to rush forward.

Yuan Bufan immediately flashed forward, shook off the shadow wolf that was entangled with him, and ran forward under the attack of the Prophet Thrall.

With only one third of his health left, he will be able to escape from the attack range of Prophet Thrall soon.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light passed by, and the Sword Saint revealed himself.

Yuan Bufan died and fell to the ground.

Yuan Bufan quit the team.
