Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

When Brook returned to the three-person tent, Yuan Bufan and Ximen Kongmie were already asleep. They'd been running around with Brook, especially Yuan Bufan, who'd been running all day. He was exhausted. Even monks were human, and they needed rest. Few monks in the Shenlong Empire could meditate for just two hours a day like Brook did. Brook had been with Bayin before, so he was used to it.

Just let them continue to sleep.

Brook activated the return stone and returned to the main city.

Brook cleaned out his backpack, then took some items from the warehouse and put them on consignment at the auction house. He used all the 6 yuan in treasures from yesterday's auction to buy Fire Dragon and Cloud equipment. He then went to the Heaven and Earth Furnace to smelt them, raising his level to 143. He also repaired his 3/5 durability Resurrection Ring, restoring it to a full 5/5 durability.

Then came to the mission officer.

The task of guarding the central traffic artery has been completed. As expected, Zhao Hui gave Brook's team an excellent evaluation, and Brook once again received a double reward of 2000 yuan and 4000 merits.

So far, including the 5 merit points given by Shen Fang, Brook has accumulated a total of merit points, and is not far from 10.

A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. We must not slack off on our Merit Points; we must accumulate them as quickly as possible. With so many people in the Dragon Empire, there might be cultivators who have been stuck in the Warcraft battlefield, or perhaps they've saved up Merit Points for decades and haven't used them, just in time to exchange them for "Summon the Moon Spirit."

Currently, it seems that for the same quest, the middle lane quest has the highest merit points. However, those three main monsters in the middle lane are really difficult to deal with. Brook still feels a headache when thinking about it now.

The Crypt Lord is tough and tough, capable of group stuns and summoning small beetles. While its ultimate heals health, it's fine, but the reflected damage is 35%... Imagine Brook going all out against it, with his costume, dealing over 2 damage with a single Bloodlust, only to have 5 reflected! How can he still defeat it? Even level 9000 group healing can't recover the damage! It's a tough sell!

Then there's the Abyss Lord's ultimate ability, Devil's Haunting. Once you're hit, you lose one-tenth of your health per second until you die... The only way to alleviate the damage is by returning to the Fountain of Life Magic, and then waiting an hour for the curse to be lifted. How could there be such a disgusting ability?

The most annoying thing is the Dark Ranger. He silences the group for 8 seconds, preventing you from using any mana-related skills... and his ultimate grants you control. If Brook gets controlled by the Dark Ranger like this, he'll turn into a puppet and be taken back to the crypt camp... Haha, that's the end of the story, it's over!

We can’t win! Even if it’s 3 against 1, we still can’t win.

Forget it, I won't think about it for now. I've already spawned most of the wild monsters in the jungle, so I'll go kill a few first. The experience points from wild monsters are pretty good, averaging over 100 million each, and I can also save some power-up items.

Brook came to the jungle and summoned Xiaobai. When rushing to the tower before, Brook put Xiaobai away in advance to avoid being accidentally injured by the arrow tower.

"Xiaobai, I have something to think about and I might be distracted by killing a wild monster. Please keep an eye on it for me and call me if there is any danger." Brook ordered.

"Okay, master." Xiaobai looked around and found no danger.

While killing the stone beetles, Brook continued to rack his brains for a way to deal with the main monster in the middle lane.

After the stone beetles were killed, Brooke came up with some ideas, but they could only ensure that his own side would not lose anyone. Whether he could kill the opposing monster was not a sure thing, and it all depended on luck.

Some control skills are so annoying and almost unsolvable. I can't think of a perfect solution at the moment.

Let's leave it at that for now. Maybe there will be a better solution later.

Find the next monster.

The Crimson Marked Tree Monster, the River Crab, the Shadow Wolf, the Azure Carved Golem, the Demonic Swamp Frog... they were killed one by one, and finally the Razorbeak was killed.

There were six raptors, one large and five small. Brook killed the large one, releasing its feathers. He left the remaining five small birds alone, letting them peck at them. Brook, of course, wasn't a masochist. Instead, he donned a protective ring and took constant damage, training himself to master it.

It's alright for now, the damage isn't that great anyway, it's practically negligible. Just let them peck, it'll be like a massage.

※※※※※※※

Brook returned to the tent at the Left Sentinel Camp and meditated for an hour before waking up around 6:.

"Captain, what are we going to do today?" Yuan Bufan and the other man also woke up.

"Continue with the mission. The mission is to detect the two wild areas on the left and right of the monsters, and by the way, find opportunities to kill monsters. It would be best if we can find the 7th-level Blood Overlord from yesterday." Brook said.

"Okay!" The Bloodbath Overlord can drop 7th-turn pills, which makes it easier to defeat than those main monsters with multiple skills. Yuan Bufan certainly agreed with both hands.

"Brook, I received a message from the Empire. They said that I performed well and was specially commended and my sentence was reduced to 50 years." Ximen Kongmie suddenly said with a confused look on his face.

"...This is great! Congratulations, Senior!"

While 50 years is still a long time, it's a significant improvement compared to long-term exile. The key is the Empire's approval of Ximen Kongmie's actions. As long as he continues to perform meritorious service, his sentence will surely be reduced again.

"I didn't expect it to be so soon... Thank you!" Ximen Kongmie showed gratitude and thanked sincerely.

"This is what our seniors fought for with their lives, no need to thank me. This is just the beginning, let's keep going. I'm going to get the mission, you wait for me."

Brooke planned to take on an exploration mission to the monster wild area on the left. The monster wild area was a few hundred yards ahead of the left sentry camp, so it was very close, saving Ximen Kongmie and the others from having to run.

Brook came to the city and found the mission officer.

"Sir, is there any task suitable for my team today?" Brook asked casually.

"There is an exploration mission in the monster wild area on the right side, and the reward is pretty good. We captured the monster underground camp last night, and we don't know how the monsters will react today, so we are required to find out the situation as soon as possible. In addition to gold and merit points, the guards also gave a reward of 1 fifth-level pill." said the mission officer.

"Where's the monster wild area on the left?"

"The one on the left was taken away."

There were still many simple tasks this early in the morning, but some people even chose difficult exploration tasks.

"Okay. Take the mission on the right."

Brook teleported back to the left outpost camp and led the team to the right wild area. Exploration missions were easy for Bruli. With Xiaobai's induction, the detection necklace's exploration, and Brook's command and guidance, there would be no problems.

The three of them killed all the monsters they encountered in the wild area. In less than 3 hours, they had explored all the wild areas on the right side. Unfortunately, they did not encounter any high-level monsters, so the harvest was average.

The three returned to the bushes in the middle of the jungle.

"Don't attack the Azure Glyphed Golem yet. Save it for fishing. You guys wait here while I check the main road on the right."

Brook teleported to the far right side of the jungle, near the main path leading to the demonic beasts. This wide road was dark, a path Brook had never walked before. He prepared to illuminate a section of the map.

This avenue connects the monster beast's frontline underground camp, the middle camp, and the monster beast's main city in the rear. From time to time, large groups of monster beasts pass by, which is very dangerous.

Brook had naturally thought of a plan. He simply inserted a fake eye. The surrounding 500-yard area was immediately clear, including both sides of the avenue.

No monsters! Good opportunity.

Brooke rushed forward along the road, the compass map rapidly lighting up at the locations along the way. Soon he reached the 500-yard limit. Still no monsters ahead, he continued to charge forward.

After running for a long time, a large group of monsters came from afar. Brook was about to teleport away when he suddenly found a dense bush on the right and hid in it.

This is a wave of ordinary monsters, led by the Snow Demon King, Thunder Flame Spider, and Green Demon Spider.

Brooke didn't want to cause any trouble, so he waited for them to pass, then walked out of the bushes and continued on his way.

Arrow towers and dungeons appeared faintly in front of us. That was the central camp on the right side of the monster.

The arrow towers in the central camp seemed more sturdy than those on the front lines. I wondered if there were high-level monsters living in the crypts.

Suddenly, a tall, gaunt monster emerged from the crypt. Its skin was pale blue, and in each hand, it held a long, sharp ice blade. Even from such a distance, Brook could still feel the biting chill it released.

Arctic executioner, bayonet!

Bayonet seemed to sense something and looked in Brook's direction from a distance.

Brook flew away with a whoosh.

"Captain, are you okay?" Yuan Bufan's voice came from the team.

"Have you heard of the Frost Executioner?"

"That's a rank 7 demon beast. There's one living in the Orc Caves on the rank 6 continent. It's slightly stronger than the Bloodbath Overlord. Have you encountered it?"

"I only saw it from a distance. I'm fine. Please wait a moment. I still need to go shopping."

Brook thought it was a rare magical beast, but it turned out to be just a 7th-level high-level magical beast like the Bloodthirsty Overlord, so he felt relieved.

This time, he teleported to the upper right corner of the jungle, outside the main city of the monsters. Brook took out his True Ward and placed it directly. While there were no monsters around, he continued to explore the right road, lighting up the entire right road map.

"Captain, the lich is coming! It wants to kill wild monsters." Yuan Bufan's voice came from the team.

"Got it." Brooke sent back.

The three of them crouched in the bushes, using wild monsters as bait, and began hunting high-level monsters.
