Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

No matter what those monsters were planning to do, as long as they were staying in the river, it meant there were no powerful monsters elsewhere in the wild area. So, I could take this opportunity to investigate.

Use the detection necklace to confirm first.

@serching Dreadlord Davenger

@serching Death Knight Arthas

@serching Lich Kel'Thuzad

Although the control guard (true eye) that Brook had placed in the bushes at the fork in the road had been knocked down, the map near the bushes had been lit up, and three red dots appeared on the compass map. It turned out that the Dreadlords were still in the rock wall passage on the left.

@serching Swordmaster Samuro

@serching Orc Prophet Thrall

@serchingTauren Chieftain Bloodhoof

These three powerful monsters were no longer visible on the map. Brook speculated that they had likely returned to the monster camp to rest. After being killed, the Minotaur Chieftain Bloodhoof should have resurrected in the monster city.

Brook flew directly into the grass of the Blue-Striped Golem.

There were no monsters in the brush. However, the control ward Cullinan had planted there earlier was gone, likely destroyed by the Blademaster or Oracle. Brook pulled out the last control ward from his pack and planted it without hesitation.

This bush is a vital traffic route, so be sure to scout carefully. Controlling wards (real eyes) can detect invisible units, not only eliminating any scout wards (false eyes) that might be placed by nearby monsters, but also allowing you to continuously detect any monsters passing by.

I didn't see any fake eyes in the grass, which was good; at least my position wasn't exposed. I didn't see any monsters around, but I did see Yuan Bufan running towards me from 300 yards away, with no monsters chasing him.

Brooke felt relieved.

Soon, Yuan Bufan entered the bushes and saw Brooke, and said in surprise:

"Hey~ How come you are faster than me?"

"I just arrived at the other route I took. It's safe here for the time being. Brother Yuan, I want to continue exploring the nearby wild area. Do you want to go back to the city? Or come with me?" Brook asked.

Yuan Bufan had already left the mission team due to his death. Theoretically, even if he explored the entire wild area, he wouldn't be able to obtain the mission reward.

"Of course I'll go with you! I can't defeat powerful monsters like the Sword Master and the Prophet, but I can still help with ordinary monsters and bosses." Yuan Bufan said.

Brooke nodded and asked again, "Do you want to take a break first?"

"No, I'm not tired."

"Let's continue then. Follow me."

It is now 10 am and there are still 2 hours until the task deadline.

Brook emerged from the brush. Having explored the lower right corner, he had three remaining options: upper left, lower left, and upper right. Brook chose the upper right, with Yuan Bufan trailing five or six yards behind him, ready to provide support.

There are two main paths in the upper right corner. One leads to the right, connecting to the main road where the monster army is marching; the other narrow path goes straight up, which is the direction to the monster city. The closer you get to the monster city, the more dangerous it is, so even Yuan Bufan has never taken this path.

Brooke checked the compass map and saw that the Dreadlord and other monsters were still guarding the river. Reassured, he hurried up the path.

A small group of demonic beasts appeared in front of them, led by two low-level demonic beasts, the Demonic Dragon War General Iron Hammer and the Fire Dragon Commander Blade. Brook and Yuan Bufan attacked together and quickly killed them.

The explosion rate of Warcraft is very high. Two low-level Warcraft dropped a total of 2 Fire Dragon equipment, 2 Thunder equipment, 1 Taurus equipment, 1 Qi Crystal, and 1 first-level pill and second-level pill.

The Reincarnation Pills were given to Brook, as he had mentioned they needed them. The other small items the two of them could pick up at will, no need to sort them out; one more or one less didn't matter.

This path was not wide, but very long, and there were many monsters. The two of them went up all the way, killing wave after wave of monsters. Second-, third-, and even fourth-level monsters appeared.

Whenever a monster tried to escape, Brook would use his agility and cooperate with his pet to block the enemy's position, while Yuan Bufan focused on attacking and dealing damage. The two of them worked together to clear the way and successfully killed 7 or 8 low-level and mid-level monsters.

The trail was flanked by rock walls on both sides, leaving no good terrain to exploit, so it was essentially a grueling battle. Fortunately, Yuan Bufan was there to help. With Brook's current strength, he wouldn't have been able to make it alone. Yuan Bufan also greatly admired Brook's ability to predict his movements, and the level 7 group healing was incredibly powerful. Any other Taoist priest, even if they could have managed to fight their way through, wouldn't have been able to hold back the monsters.

Jade Fox Ah Yin had a huge explosion, 2 dominant equipment, 1 legendary equipment, 1 soul gem, and 1 fourth-level pill. The two of them picked up all the equipment.

The path had come to an end, and ahead lay a wide, horizontal road. On the other side of the road rose a towering city wall. Black and red bloodstains could be seen everywhere on the wall, and huge animal bones and skulls, from unknown creatures, adorned the walls. Deep roars could be heard faintly from within the city, filling it with endless terror and darkness.

This was once a human city, but now it has been occupied by monsters and has become their main city.

"Master, there are extremely powerful demonic spirits in the city. There are too many of them, and they are very complex."

Even without Xiaobai's warning, Brook could sense the demonic aura rising from the city. It was like the first time Brook faced the beast tide in Ginkgo Village, the suffocating feeling of a dark cloud covering the sky and the city.

"Brook, stop looking, let's retreat quickly!" Yuan Bufan's voice trembled a little. It was the first time he had gone so deep.

Brooke nodded, and the two of them quickly retreated back the way they had come.

The two returned to the central brush in the jungle and began exploring to the left. They first went to the upper left, where, besides the monsters, there were also the wild monster Shadow Wolves. Further left, they reached the main road to the monster camp. Then, they reached the lower left, where dense grass grew, and within it gathered numerous monsters and humanoids. Brook slowly lured them out, killing them one by one.

Further down is the river. The monster wild area on the right has basically been explored, and the areas required by the mission compass have all been lit up.

It's already 11:30 am and it's almost time to rush back to hand in the task.

The two were about to return to the city when suddenly a huge figure flew across the sky and flew towards the river.

"Oh my God, this is...an ancient dragon!" Yuan Bufan exclaimed.

"Ancient dragon?"

"This is a wild monster native to the Warcraft battlefield. It lives on the top of a steep mountain that is difficult for monks to reach. It is very rare to see. It is very strong. It is said that it has hundreds of millions of health points, and its defense is extremely strong. It is the legendary holy armor. Any attack hitting it will be greatly weakened and can only cause 5% damage. Ordinary attacks, including assassinations, cannot hit it at all. Unless there is a costume, the sacred attack attribute of the costume can break its defense." Yuan Bufan explained.

"Brother Yuan is really knowledgeable. Do you know where this ancient dragon is going?" Brook asked again.

"We should go to the river to drink water."

"Oh~ I wonder what kind of equipment will be dropped if I defeat it?"

"It is said that it can drop top-level dragon-slaying equipment."

"Dragon slaying equipment? What is that?"

"I haven't seen it either. I just heard that it is a top-level equipment that can only be worn after the 7th turn, and it can greatly increase the critical hit rate." Yuan Bufan said.

At this moment, the three red dots on the compass map, representing the Dreadlords, began to move toward the river. Brook suddenly realized that the monsters were waiting there to kill the ancient dragon!

"Brother Yuan, come with me. Let's go to the river and take a look." After Brooke said that, he walked out of the grass by the river and rushed down the river.
