Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The Crimson Marked Tree Monster has not been killed yet. After such a long delay, its health has been fully restored.

Kha'Zix, the Mantis, is heading towards the jungle. He has a short-distance flying jump skill, which allows him to directly cross the river, over embankments, jungles, rock walls, and other obstacles without taking detours, and he travels very quickly.

There was no time to fight the tree monster, so Brook teleported directly back to the main city.

"Xingyu, are you there?"

"Yes. It's so late, what's the matter?"

"I just went to the left jungle and found Kha'Zix, the Void Reaver. He stayed in the bushes next to the Azure Statue for a long time, probably placing a ward."

"Okay, I've got that. We're helping to defend the middle lane, and we haven't spotted any new monsters yet."

"I'm in urgent need of money and want to buy two 34th-turn pills."

"Have you killed another high-level monster?"

"How could that be possible? I saved it before and never wanted to sell it."

"Thank you very much. The old price is 34 each. See you at the spring."

"I'll be there soon."

Reincarnation Pills are valuable items, and the Imperial Guard will purchase them directly through the Chamber of Commerce at a high price. All major families also want them, especially the highest-grade 7th Reincarnation Pills. Brooke has a good relationship with Xuanyuan Xingyu, so he'll give her priority when selling good items.

The two completed the transaction.

Brooke arrives at the auction house.

There are not many gems, only 10 in total, ranging from lucky gems to supreme gems, with prices ranging from 1000 to 2000 yuan. Brook bought them all.

Brooke went to the mission officer. The mission list had been expanded to include killing rare monsters.

Kill the high-level Warcraft Lava Behemoth Malphite and you will be rewarded with 2000 ingots and merit points...

Kill the high-level Warcraft Plague Source Tuqi, and you will be rewarded with 2000 Yuanbao and merit points...

Kill the high-level Warcraft Soullock Warden Thresh and receive 2000 ingots and merit points...

Kill the high-level Warcraft Void Prophet Malzahar and you will be rewarded with 2000 ingots and merit points...

Kill the high-level Warcraft Void Reaver Kha'Zix, and you will be rewarded with 2000 ingots and merit points...

Werewolf, Soraka, etc. have not been discovered by the Imperial Guard yet, so they are not on the list yet.

If Brook handed in the werewolf's head, he would definitely get the mission reward. However, Brook did not do so because he could not explain how a person could kill a werewolf.

Keep the werewolf's head for now, it might be useful for later.

Brooke was going to find an inn in the city to rest for the night. After being blessed by the starlight, he had a lot of different feelings in his heart, and he needed to sit down and sort them out and digest them.

With the support of rare magical beasts, the monster side reversed its decline, began to recover lost territory, and rebuilt three central camps.

The humans didn't take the opportunity to launch an attack. The rare monsters were too powerful, and the monks didn't dare to enter their territory.

Brook and his companions remained perfectly at peace. They would at most wander around the river, slaying common monsters and boss monsters. They avoided any dangerous areas. The Dark Ranger and the Abyss Lord were aware of Brook, and the rare monsters were also after the resurrection ring. Brook didn't want to risk his life, so he decided to keep a low profile and wait for the storm to subside before heading out again.

Two days later, the Imperial Guard's mission list was updated with three more rare monster-killing missions.

Desert Butcher Renekton: A standing crocodile holding a fan-shaped weapon. He likes to charge into battle and is very good at group battles.

Fiddlesticks: Looks like a scarecrow, likes sneak attacks, and has many control skills.

Kog'Maw, the Maw of the Abyss: A two-legged beast with a huge mouth, high attack power, and long ranged attacks.

Soraka wasn't on the quest list. Perhaps she had been staying in the monster camp and hadn't left, so she hadn't been discovered.

These rare beasts are incredibly powerful, often operating in pairs or groups. They lead attacks on camps and scout rivers and wild areas. Many human cultivators have been slain by them. It's said that after each kill, they don't immediately depart, but instead remain nearby, seemingly waiting for something to happen, until the body disappears.

To this end, the Imperial Guard doubled its manpower to the front line, and the Dragon Empire also dispatched several hundred-man guards to the Warcraft battlefield to deal with possible emergencies.

The monks were also more cautious, and even in their own wild areas, they would only enter during the day, and would travel in groups. They couldn't win in a single fight, so they had to rely on numbers.

Plaguebear Twitch, relying on his invisibility, often crossed the river to wreak havoc in the human jungle. One day, they happened to run into a Xuanyuan Clan team. With a single True Ward, several Rank 7 Monks took turns controlling him, breaking his invisibility. They surrounded Twitch and quickly reduced him to a sliver of health. Just as they were about to kill him, Thresh happened to pass by the river and threw a lantern, saving Twitch.

The people of the Xuanyuan family secretly felt sorry.

From then on, Twitch, the Plague Source, never dared to act so arrogantly again. Other rare monsters also became more restrained.

Humans and monsters gradually formed a balanced equilibrium.

As dusk deepened, the rosy clouds in the sky faded, and a flock of birds flew across the sky, leaving behind a series of distant low calls.

Brook sat quietly on the grass at the top of the wild area, staring at the northern sky for a long time.

"The sun is setting again, and another day has passed. We haven't had any luck lately. We've been stuck in the river for over 34 days. Captain, when can we make something big?" said Yuan Bufan beside him.

The gains have been poor these days, and there are no monsters to kill. Brook and the other two have been wandering in the river. Not to mention high-level monsters, even ordinary monsters are rare.

&34;How big do you want it?&;

"The bigger the better! Boss Ximen and I are going crazy."

Brooke said slowly:

"This afternoon, the Tuoba clan accepted a mission to explore the Monster Wild Area. Eleven went, and only two returned. Tuoba Shengshi, Tuoba Shengyan, and Baipu, three seventh-rank masters, all perished. Only Tuoba Shengwei and Tuoba Shi managed to escape back to the mid-lane camp. It's said that not long after their team crossed the river, they encountered Kha'Zix, Malphite, and the Dreadlord. They were quite capable, not only did they not completely perish, but Tuoba Shi even recovered the mission compass. The mission wasn't a success, but it wasn't a failure either."

"Have the paralysis ring and the flame ring fallen off?!" Ximen Kongmie asked hurriedly.

"Luckily, it didn't fall off," said Brooke.

"Captain, you're really well-informed. Tuoba Shengwei is a rank 34 warrior, so it's understandable that he could make it back alive. But isn't Tuoba Shi a rank 6 mage? How could he make it back alive?" Yuan Bufan found it a bit strange.

"That's not clear. Maybe Tuoba Shi has high skills or is just lucky," Brook said.

"It's probably because he's only at level 34 that those three monsters think he's worthless and it doesn't matter whether they kill him or not," Ximen Kongmie analyzed.

"Senior, what you said makes sense." Brook nodded in agreement. Kha'Zix and the others were mainly after the artifact, and Tuoba Shi was only at level 34, so it was obvious he couldn't possibly have one. This was likely why they didn't kill him.

The Tuoba clan had just arrived two days ago, led by Tuoba Shengshi, a rank 2 warrior wearing a paralysis ring; Tuoba Shengyan, a rank 7 female mage, wore a flame ring. Apparently, they had underestimated the strength of the monsters this time. And they were unlucky, encountering three monsters convening in a bush. Fortunately, their two artifact rings didn't drop, otherwise they would have had to go to Tuoba Hongye in tears.

"Captain, I understand what you mean. But I think our team is stronger than the Tuoba family's. You are a good commander. With you leading the team, we will never encounter three of them at the same time. Why don't we give it a try? Anyway, you can teleport and resurrect, so I'm not afraid." Yuan Bufan continued to persuade.

"You're not afraid, but I am! If you get killed by a monster again this time, I'm really afraid I won't be able to save you. Haven't you noticed that these monsters like to wait in ambush after killing people?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Who knows? Anyway, we have to be cautious, careful, and low-key recently. Don't go out unless it's something important, so as not to end up like the Tuoba family. We'll talk about it when the monsters stop guarding the corpses. By the way, how many of the gems I asked you to collect have you received?"

"I collected 34 gems in total. I've asked all the independent cultivators I know, but it's been hard to kill monsters lately, so they can't get any."

"Keep buying. Maybe they still have some in stock, but our price isn't high enough. Even if it's half the price, we'll take it all!" Brooke said.

Gems have been hard to come by lately. With fewer monsters to kill, fewer gems are dropping. So far, including Yuan Bufan's, I've only received 102 gems, which is still a bit short of the 120 gems Soraka requested.

"Captain, what do you want so many gems for? You don't want to learn from the Xuanyuan family and build a siege vehicle, do you?"

"Yes, you want to do something big, right? I'll combine an energy gem and build a siege vehicle, which is exactly what you want."

"Captain... your investment is a bit too much, isn't it?"

"Not big! It's not too big for the three of us to share..."

Brooke and Yuan Bufan were talking nonsense and boasting when suddenly the compass made a slight sound. He opened it to check and then laughed.

"The big ticket you wanted is here!"

"What a big deal! The siege vehicle is ready?"

"No. Bigger than a siege engine! And more than one."

Shen Fang, the captain of the outpost camp, has sent word that two ancient dragons have been spotted on the lookout!
