Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

It was already 7pm. The sun had already set, and most of the monks had returned to the city, with the Dragon Guards remaining in the camp.

Batch after batch of monsters, leaders, and magical beasts came out of the wild area and entered the river to drink water, play and frolic.

Of course, only Brook could see this scene. Brook had already placed a ward on the top of a hill near the monster jungle area on the left side of the river.

Brooke sat cross-legged, not moving, and continued to wait.

Yuan Bufan leaned against a tree, boredly chewing a piece of foxtail grass, occasionally glancing at Brooke. He'd already been waiting for over half an hour. How long would this wait be? If only he had known, he would have imitated Ximen Kongmie. Look how comfortable he was, lying on the grass and snoring.

Finally, red dots representing the most powerful monsters appeared on Brook's compass map one after another.

The Lich and Death Knight appeared in the bushes near the right crypt camp. The Dreadlord slain by the Ancient Dragon had also resurrected and appeared in the right monster jungle.

The Tauren Chieftain showed up in front of the Left Sentinel Camp, while the Orc Prophet Thrall flashed past in the left jungle. The Blademaster unexpectedly appeared in the human-controlled jungle in the lower right corner, seemingly liking the Crimson Mark Tree Monster's Crimson Crown (red buff).

At the same time, the Crypt Lord also appeared in the middle lane, but the Dark Ranger and the Abyss Lord were nowhere to be seen, probably in the Crypt Camp.

That's all. Most of the strongest beasts have confirmed their positions. Even if a strongest beast in the middle lane wants to go to the left lane jungle, it will be discovered immediately by Brook's true ward on the top of the mountain.

Brooke stood up.

"Brother Yuan, Senior, we've finished our rest. Let's go!"

Yuan Bufan quickly spat out the grass roots, stood up, and walked over. Ximen Kongmie jumped up with a somersault and stretched lazily.

Brook walked along the river to the middle, then turned a corner, entered the river on the monster side, and headed left.

很快便遇到了第一批妖兽。3转的中级魔兽300万血量的绿魔蜘蛛绿线，3转普通首领780万血量的雷炎蜘蛛，以及10多个10万多血量的精英蜘蛛小怪。

"Clear the small monsters first. Then kill the Green Goblin Spider. Finally the Thunder and Flame Spider. If the Green Goblin Spider runs away, kill it first." Brook said.

Ximen Kongmie charged into the herd, leaving a trail of shadows. He swung Sky-Splitting Slash, dealing over 4 damage to four minions in a straight line. He unleashed another Sun-Chasing Sword Technique, dealing another 2 damage in a straight line. Then came Fiery Blade, Assassination, and Half Moon... Before the elite minions could even surround him, he was already decimated.

Yuan Bufan followed up with a meteor shower, and with the blessing of the Domination Shield and Medal, the average damage reached more than 5000.

Brook used the Taoist priest's group damage skill Hurricane Break to attack. Although Hurricane Break was only level 3 and not as powerful as the single-target Bloodlust, Brook's equipment was good, and Hurricane Break's damage was stable at around 8500.

The three of them worked together, and in less than 10 seconds, more than a dozen elite monsters were wiped out.

The Thunder Flame Spider raised its sharp sickle-like pincers and slashed at Ximen Kongmie's back, but it didn't even break his defense.

Ximen Kongmie ignored the Thunder Flame Spider and focused solely on slashing at the Green Goblin Spider's green line. Brook and the other two also concentrated their fire. In less than a minute, the Green Goblin Spider was reduced to only one-fifth of its health.

The Green Goblin Spider turned to run, but found it impossible. Brook's Zodiac Suit proved effective, freezing it for two seconds each time it triggered, and with a high frequency, it froze the spider almost every five attacks. The Green Goblin Spider couldn't escape, and finally, Ximen Kongmie slashed it to death with a single blow. It then dropped a Taurus Demon Sword, a Taurus Battle Ring, a Domination Battle Chain, and a Third-Rank Pill.

The three continued to attack the Thunder Flame Spider.

"Brook, it turns out you also have a zodiac suit!" Yuan Bufan said while doing thunder and lightning.

"Yeah. When I entered the Warcraft battlefield, the Wenren family gave me a set. I forgot to wear it before."

"Is it the daily zodiac sign? Wenren Tianxiang is so generous. As far as I know, the Wenren family only has three sets of daily zodiac signs." Ximen Kongmie asked.

"No, it's the Star Zodiac."

"Then why is the trigger frequency so high?"

"Just good luck." Brook said modestly.

What could Brook say? Should he honestly tell them he had the Skill Necklace? And then claim he had the full set of nine artifacts?

This isn't a good idea. It'll upset them and make them jealous and crazy. So it's better not to say anything if you can.

Soon, the Thunder Flame Spider was also killed, dropping a Fire Dragon Helmet and a Thunder Crystal.

No one picked up the equipment. Ximen Kongmie and Yuan Bufan looked at Brook, waiting for him to assign it. Brook was the captain, commander, scout, and leader, and the two showed him ample respect.

"We happen to be three classes: warrior, mage, and Taoist priest. We'll each pick up equipment according to our class. Senior Ximen picks up the warrior's, Brother Yuan picks up the mage's, and I pick up the Taoist's. I'll pick up all the other reincarnation pills, gems, and crystals, and distribute them after we return to the city," Brook said. If he had to pick up all the equipment, his backpack would probably be too full. However, gems and crystals can be stacked, so he'll keep them for now.

"can."

"no problem."

Although there is only one Taoist item this time, the Fire Dragon Helmet, but this monster drops less, so the next monster may drop more Taoist items. This kind of thing doesn't matter. Kill more monsters, and the number of Taoist items dropped by the three professions will not be too different.

This wave of monsters, from the start of the fight to the end of picking up all the equipment, was completed in 4 minutes. This efficiency was more than twice as fast as the previous one by Brook and Yuan Bufan.

The three of them continued on their journey. After killing several more waves of monsters, they finally arrived at the entrance to the monster wild area.

A fog had already formed ahead, but the range of Brook's True Eye, planted on the top of the mountain, covered the area, allowing him to see the surrounding situation clearly. The area was relatively safe, so Brook led the team in without hesitation.

The Warcraft left jungle is located in the upper left corner of the Warcraft battlefield. Its terrain is similar to the human jungle in the lower right corner. The monster types are similar as well. Near the middle lane is the Razorbeak, in the middle of the jungle is the Crimson Marked Tree Monster, and near the top lane is the Stone Beetle.

Brook and the other two killed six Razors first, handing the resulting "Razorbeak Feather" buff to Ximen Kongmie. They then explored the middle jungle lane, killing two waves of mobs along the way. They arrived at the spawn point for the Crimson Marked Tree Monster.

The tree monster has been killed. This means that a monster has been here.

There are two directions to choose from: go up, or continue to the left. There are bushes in both directions.

"Be careful and prepare to fight."

Brooke said this, commanding the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast to stand in front of him, while he himself directly fired a hurricane at the grass. The moment the hurricane blew the grass away, a large group of monsters lying in ambush were revealed.

The Snow Demon King Taylor, the Ice City Emperor Dixing, the Ice Palace Guardian Shirley, and more than 30 elite monsters.

3个五转的高级魔兽！这3只魔兽的攻击力上限接近2万，而血量也高达800~900万，并不容易对付。

The monster realized that it had been exposed and immediately rushed out.

Brook could have chosen to retreat temporarily, but then he thought, why not use this opportunity to test Ximen Kongmie's strength? So he retreated quickly while saying:

"Senior, can you hold these two monsters?"

"......Can!"

"We'll take care of the rest. You'll need to hold out for about eight minutes."

"8 minutes... I'll do my best." Ximen Kongmie hesitated for a moment before rushing forward and passing by the retreating Brook.

Ximen Kongmie's agility was remarkable. He charged forward, drawing the demon beast's attention. He then struck Taylor, the Snow Demon King, four yards away with a Heaven-Splitting Slash. Taking a step to the left, he unleashed the Sun-Chasing Sword Technique, striking the Ice City Emperor, Dixing, who had rushed in front of him. Taking advantage of the opponent's backward blow, he immediately retreated to the left.

Three monsters led the herd in pursuit of Ximen Kongmie. Brook cast a poison spell on Ice Palace Guardian Shirley, then a bloodthirst spell, triggering a freezing effect that slowed her down and instantly widened the gap between her and Snow Demon King Taylor and Ice City Emperor Dixing. As for the elite monsters, they were still behind the Ice Palace Guardian.

Brook's Hurricane Break and Yuan Bufan's Meteor Shower fell, quickly attracting the hatred of the Ice Palace Guardian and all other monsters.

The terrain was flat and open, perfect for dealing with swarms of melee monsters. Brooke and Yuan Bufan retreated in a circle, continuously unleashing their group attacks. After 10 seconds, seven or eight small monsters were eliminated. After another half a minute, over 7 of them were completely slain, leaving only Shirley, the guardian of the Ice Palace.

They switched to single-target abilities. Though Shirley, the Ice Palace's guardian, boasted 900 million HP, 2 attack damage, and a fast movement speed, she was a melee hero. She was caught in Brook's Zodiac Freeze, unable to catch up or escape. Under constant attack from both, especially Brook, who could deal 1 damage per hit, the Ice Palace's guardian's HP plummeted, causing her to scream in frustration.

Meanwhile, Snow Demon King Taylor and Ice City Emperor Dixing roared incessantly. They hadn't taken much damage, but they fought back and forth, unable to reach Ximen Kongmie, who darted around them, leaving a trail of afterimages. This human warrior must have been using the Razorbeak's speed boost, outpacing them. Crucially, he also possessed the Unparalleled Afterimage effect. Taylor and Dixing were constantly being toyed with, their attacks missing at least nine out of ten.

After more than 7 minutes, the Ice Palace's guardian, Shirley, was killed. Brook and the other two picked up the fallen equipment and quickly rushed to the left to provide support.

Use poison, bloodthirst, and lightning to attack the Snow Demon King Taylor.

The Snow Demon King turned to look at Brook, his eyes becoming increasingly fierce. He had already remembered that it was this human who had lured him with the gem in the river, and finally led him into the woods, blocked him, and killed him.

The Snow Demon King rushed towards Brook, but found that his feet were like falling into an icy cellar, making it difficult to move forward.

Seeing that the Snow Demon King was frozen, Brook immediately cast a level 7 group healing on Ximen Kongmie. Ximen Kongmie's health had already dropped by more than half.

"Senior, you are really good at fighting, amazing!" Brook praised.

"That's nothing. We warriors rely on our positioning and agility. Oh no, the Ice City Emperor, Dixing, is trying to escape! I'm going to stop him!"

The Ice City Emperor, Dixing, was very alert. When he saw that the Ice Palace Guardian, Shirley, and the elite monsters had all been killed, he actually ran away!

Ximen Kongmie rushed forward savagely, closing the distance. He then used the "10 Steps, 1 Kill" technique, leaping directly to the side of the Ice City Emperor and swinging his sword, paralyzing him.

Ten Steps, One Kill is the ultimate skill of the 7th-level warrior. It not only has a displacement effect, but also paralyzes the enemy for 1 second. Unfortunately, the skill has a 1-minute cooldown.

"Hurry up! I'm not wearing a zodiac sign. If this guy is determined to escape, it will be difficult for me to stop him just by blocking his position." Ximen Kongmie shouted.

"I'll do it!" Brook activated the teleportation ring and flew directly between the Ice City Emperor and the Snow Demon King, then fought back and froze the two monsters in turn.

"I'll freeze the Ice City Emperor. You focus on the Snow Demon King." Brook said.

Ximen Kongmie turned around and rushed towards the Snow Demon King.

Though frozen, the Ice City Emperor, Dixing, persevered, escaping step by step towards the central crypt of the demon beasts. Meanwhile, the Snow Demon King, Taylor, stubbornly regarded Brook as his enemy and inched his way towards him. This perfectly complemented Brook's plan, as he followed him upwards, always staying between the two demon beasts, within reach of both.

After six minutes of slowly ascending, the Snow Demon King Taylor was killed first. The three then turned their fire on the Ice City Emperor, but Emperor Xing ultimately failed to escape.

He had completely annihilated three high-level monsters, a good achievement, and passed the test. However, there was a significant element of luck involved. If the Snow Demon King had also chosen to flee, and if he and the Ice City Emperor had gone in different directions, it would have been difficult to capture them all.

"Senior, aren't you wearing the zodiac sign?" Brook asked.

If Ximen Kongmie could have a set of zodiac signs, it would be much easier. Brook did not ask Yuan Bufan to have a set. Zodiac signs are not easy to collect, but Ximen Kongmie should have one.

"...bad luck, missing a day, so it never exploded."

"Only missing a Rat? Can't we use a Star and Moon instead?"

"It has to be the sun. I don't like the stars and the moon!"

Well, this Ximen Kongmie has quite a temper.

"Fuck, can you get it?" Brooke asked.

Yuan Bufan shook his head slightly: "There are few rats to begin with, and even fewer on New Year's Day. There aren't many cultivators entering the Warcraft battlefield, so I guess we won't be able to harvest them."

This is a difficult situation. There is no Zodiac Temple in the Warcraft battlefield, so there is no place to fight Zodiac.

By the way, Cullinan has it!

Can I borrow it from him?

Cullinan and the others want to rely on the freezing effect of the Zodiac to kill the monster, so I'm afraid they won't lend it.

unless......

Brooke thought about it.
