Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Chapter 429 Compensation

Bayin and Wenren Muyue returned to their respective rooms. Resting and reincarnating would take quite a while.

The night was already deep. Brook waited in the courtyard for a while, then teleported to the outskirts of the Dragon Empire.

The Ancient Ice Emperor just appeared.

Poison, bloodthirst, attack.

The Ancient Ice Emperor came running. Brook didn't block, didn't dodge, didn't even summon his Moon Spirit. He simply stood apart from the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast, allowing the Ancient Ice Emperor to move between them and force the attack.

The Ancient Ice Emperor ran back and forth in the middle 2 yards away, sometimes running over to attack the Holy Dragon Beast, taking 30 HP, and sometimes running back to attack Brook, but Brook's defense was too high and the Ancient Ice Emperor couldn't break it at all.

Brook's damage is very high, and each attack can consistently deal 1 damage. A level 6 Qiankun Shenglong Beast can also consistently deal more than 7 damage. The Ancient Ice Emperor has a total of 2000 million health points, and his health is visibly dropping, and he is dying very quickly.

But Brook's attention was not on the Ancient Ice Emperor. Instead, he was looking at the compass map and paying attention to his surroundings.

Three minutes later, the Ancient Ice Emperor was killed, dropping the Legendary Dao Ring, the Taurus Demon Sword, and the Level 3 Veil.

Brook flew to the Ancient Demon King again, took a quick look, and gave up. Xiaobai said that this Ancient Demon King only had one Fire Dragon Battle Chain.

This time I flew to the 6th level Ancient Orc and killed him in 3 minutes. The Ring of Domination and the Lucky Gem dropped.

Then came the ancient behemoths, the ancient holy emperor, the ancient ice maiden, and the ancient trolls, all killed one after another.

Brook stood quietly beside the ancient troll's corpse for a long time, feeling a little disappointed.

It’s not that the items dropped were bad, but that Xiao Renlong from Wolong Villa didn’t show up.

It seemed that Xiao Renlong was rather lazy and didn't keep up the habit of using the detection necklace to check at all times. Or perhaps he had forgotten about him.

I had originally wanted to lure Xiao Renlong out, take advantage of the dead of night when no one would disturb me, and fight him for three hundred rounds, giving him a good fight and maybe even a teleportation ring. But it was a pity that I didn't give him the chance.

Go directly to Wolong Villa? No way. That was Xiao Renlong's territory. He could have his men seal the safe zone of Wolong Villa, prohibiting teleportation. Brook wasn't strong enough to single-handedly challenge the entire Wolong Villa. Furthermore, there was a hidden Rank 8 expert in Wolong Villa.

I can't go to Wolong Villa, I can only wait for Xiao Renlong to catch up. Wait, there will be a chance.

Brooke used the detection necklace to teleport back and forth between the Dragon Empire and several associated continents. He took advantage of the lack of people at night to kill more monsters and get more equipment.

Finally, I went to the Zodiac Temple on the 5th Continent. Although I didn't encounter any Zodiac monsters, it's a good place!

Calculating that the time was almost up, Brook returned to the yard.

Soon, Wenren Muyue pushed the door open and came out, being the first to reach level 154, 5th transformation.

After a while, Bayin also leveled up to level 160, the 6th transformation.

"The upgrade is complete. Brook, Sister Bayin, let's go kill monsters together?" Wenren Muyue suggested.

"No need to go. I've already killed several high-level bosses that just appeared. The remaining ones that I haven't killed basically don't drop good equipment." Brook said.

Bayin looked at Brooke in confusion and asked, "Xiaobai?"

"Well, Xiaobai can sense not only artifacts, but also legendary, hot-blooded, gemstone and other equipment."

"This is really...amazing!" Bayin finally understood why Brook could save so much money. It turned out that Xiaobai had this incredible ability.

"The only monsters left are those that don't drop equipment? Then what should we do? It's only 11 o'clock at night." Wenren Muyue used to follow Brook and recently followed Bayin. He has long become a night owl and has completely learned bad habits.

"Go to bed early today. Tomorrow, many monsters that can drop good equipment will come to you." Brook said.

Bayin certainly understood, but Wenren Muyue was still confused.

"He came to my house on his own? Sister Bayin, what does he mean?"

"Brook is saying that when we go out tomorrow, there may be many people who come to hunt us down in order to steal the artifact. There may be three major families, and there may be 6th, 7th, or even 8th-level masters!" Bayin said.

"...Then why are we even going out?"

"One punch is enough to prevent a hundred blows from coming. We can't hide in the Wenren family forever."

"..."

"So Muyue, you'd better not come with us tomorrow. Brook and I can go out alone. Those people are mainly targeting me."

"...I'm going to go find my second sister, and ask Uncle Zhong and Uncle Bo to come and help."

"We don't know how many people will come, it might be a lot. Even if we call all the masters of the Wen family, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist the Youyou group. We are not going to fight head-on, but rely on flexible movement and fight guerrilla warfare with those people." Bayin explained.

"I understand. But one more person means more strength. Sister Bayin, you can take me with you to teleport, just like we did in the spider cave a few days ago. Just let me go and help! I still have 4, no, 5 chances to resurrect. I'm not afraid!" Wenren Muyue said firmly.

Bayin turned and looked at Brook.

"Mu Yue, it would be best if you could come and help. But there may be a fierce battle tomorrow, so you must agree to one condition of mine." Brook said.

"What conditions?"

"Absolutely obey my command! If I tell you to go left, you must go left; if I tell you to go right, you must go right immediately. If Bayin is killed in front of us, I tell you to return to the city. You must return to the city without hesitation! Can you do this?"

“…Okay! I can!”

"Mu Yue, go back to the city immediately!" Brook said suddenly.

"......." Wenren Muyue stood there motionless.

"No~ You just said you would follow orders. You can't go tomorrow." Brook shook his head.

With a whoosh, Wenren Muyue disappeared.

Brook and Bayin smiled at each other.

"Mu Yue has already reached level 5. Let's just treat this as an experience. When she really faces a life-or-death crisis, we can just take her home." Brooke said.

"Okay." Bayin said.

"Go to the square and bring her back. I'm going back to sleep too. Go to bed early. Good night."

"Good night."

※※※※※※※

At 8 a.m., Bayin, Brook, and Wenren Muyue appeared at the Shenlong Empire Square.

The three of them had already circled around outside, killed a few leaders, and then returned to the square to wait like the other monks.

Soon someone recognized Bayin and Wenren Muyue and began to whisper.

"Look over there!"

"Oh~ Wenren Muyue and Bayin. They are the two women who possess the divine weapons!"

"One of them is 5th turn, the other is 6th turn, they are rising really fast."

"Haha, no matter how fast you rise, there are only two of us. You stole the limelight yesterday, but you should tone it down today. You've been so spoiled, you don't have any sense of defense at all."

"They're out of town! What should we do?"

"Whatever you have to do, just do it! With such a good opportunity, you won't be soft-hearted just because they are beautiful women, right?"

"How could that be? I'm worried about the Wenren family's revenge. And Brook next to them is also a 6th level, and seems to be wearing a lucky veil."

"The Taoist priest doesn't have much attack power, so don't worry about him. As for the Wenren family...we'll just kill Bayin and get her Poison Veil and Teleport Ring! And that Brook, the Lucky Veil is pretty good too!"

"Someone's catching up! Hurry, we can't fall behind!"

Brook and his companions went out of the west city gate and ran towards the direction of the third-level leader, the ancient spider.

Behind him followed more than ten people, some sixth-rank cultivators, some fifth-rank cultivators, and even some fourth-rank and third-rank cultivators. They belonged to different teams, standing a few yards apart, yet seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding. They were all independent cultivators.

There was a small forest ahead. Brook and the other two turned and disappeared from the sight of the people behind them. The wandering cultivators quickly quickened their pace.

Just as they were about to turn the corner, a figure suddenly jumped out and blocked their way. The cultivators slammed on the brakes and stopped.

"What are you going to do?" Brook looked at everyone with a half-smile. Not far behind him, Bayin and Wenren Muyue also walked out side by side.

"Concentrate fire and kill!" The rank 6 warrior who took the lead shouted, and Kaitian Zhan decisively attacked!

At the same time, seven or eight skills, including poison, bloodthirsty, soul fire, lightning, and sky-extinguishing fire, all fell on Brook, and several warriors next to him also rushed up.

A flash of gorgeous skills flashed by, and everyone was stunned.

Brook stood there motionless, not losing a single drop of health! The damage from these people couldn't even break his level 1 body shield.

The rank 6 warrior was shocked! He clearly sensed that the most powerful Heaven Breaking Slash only dealt 5000 points of damage.

The skills of other Taoist priests and mages only dealt a pitiful few dozen points, or even 1 point of damage!

The three warriors next to him had already run to Brook's side and swung out the Fiery Sword Technique and the Sun-Chasing Sword Technique.

Still no movement, still no blood loss!

"Whoever attacks again will die. I will only forgive you once." Brook said lightly.

The rank 6 warrior frowned, took a step back, and shouted, "Use assassination!"

He swung his sword to kill. He didn't believe in evil and he was determined to break Brook's shield.

But no one else moved. Brook's defense was too high, which scared them.

Brook took a step to the side and used his Qigong wave to repel the 6th level assassin warrior.

Using poison and bloodthirsty magic, the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast also attacked.

The 6th level warrior wanted to rush over, but he found that his health was dropping rapidly. Before he could rush to the opponent, he was cast with Bloodlust three times in a row, and not only was his protective shield broken, but his health was also reduced to only half.

What's going on? The Taoist's damage is surprisingly high! The rank 6 warrior quickly turned around, retreated, and took medicine.

Huh? The potion won't work? This is a level 7 poison!

Bloodthirst, Brook caught up.

The 6th level warrior used a brutal charge to create distance, showing off his skills and operation. If you don't return to the city, you won't lose, run!

A "whoosh" sound came from behind.

Oh no! The rank 6 warrior instinctively wanted to use the city stone, but it was too late. His vision went black, his health dropped to zero, and he fell to the ground and exploded.

A Hot Blood Blade and a sophisticated Star Blood Moon War Shield, the two most valuable pieces of equipment, were dropped. It was true that costumes could increase the chance of death from killing creatures.

Brook picked up the equipment.

The rest of the crowd couldn't help but sigh when they saw this scene: If they can't win, they should just go back to the city! What are you wasting time on?

"Even if he returns to the city, I will remember his name. He will still die!" Brook said as he walked over. As if he could guess everyone's thoughts.

"Ahem~ misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding! We just followed you because of slander. Sorry, we'll leave right away. Sorry for disturbing you. Goodbye!" said a rank 6 mage, who was the captain of another team.

"You want to leave after beating someone up? There's no such easy thing in the world." Brook said dissatisfiedly.

"...We didn't take action later. You said you wouldn't kill."

"You don't have to kill me. But you have to pay compensation."

"this......"

"Whoever dares not to compensate, I will remember his name! If you are not afraid of being hunted by us, leave as soon as possible!" Brook said coldly.

The Wenren family is hunting me down... Never mind, I'll just pay for it.

"...How much compensation do you want?"

“3转的赔100元宝，4转赔200，5转400，6转800。”

"800? That's expensive! Can you make it cheaper?"

"Do you think this is a business deal? You're still bargaining... You just concentrated your fire and almost killed me! If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price!"

Everyone looked at each other in complete silence.

Brook took out the hot-blooded war blade that had just exploded and waved it in front of everyone: "See? Kill it, and the ones that explode will be even better! My price is reasonable and fair, very cheap!"

"...Not enough money." The Sixth Rank Mage said weakly.

"Then use the equipment you have on you! Hurry up, my patience is limited. Don't delay us from killing monsters and leveling up."

Everyone could only line up and pay. Three of them didn't have enough money, so they had to take off one or two pieces of equipment and give them to Brook.

"Go ahead. Remember this lesson: Those who kill will be killed. Don't do bad things if you can avoid them!"

"Yes..." Everyone agreed reluctantly, and seeing that Brook had no other instructions, they dared to go back to the city and leave.

These people wanted to kill and rob, and they weren't good people. But they were just casual cultivators, not Brook's real target, so they just needed to be educated.

"Wow! Brook, you just earned 5000 yuan in one go!" Wenren Muyue ran over and said enviously.

"More than that. There's also a hot-blooded weapon and a small shield."

"You're right, the equipment has come to us!"

Brook laughed and looked at Bayin who came to him: "What do you think?"

"The defense is very strong and the attack is also high. However, the offensive power is still lacking and he almost got away." Bayin commented.

Brook nodded, he felt it too.

The defense is very strong because of the defense ring, which doubles the defense and magic defense.

Although the attack is supported by the skill necklace, which can ensure a stable upper limit attack output, it still lacks explosive power, and it is difficult to quickly kill a warrior with a lot of blood.

The 6th rank cultivator had only learned the most basic body shield and only had a little over 7 HP, probably having just reached 6th rank. Brook used Bloodthirst five times, and with the help of the Holy Beast Baby three times, he was able to kill him.

To become even more powerful, you need to reach the 7th level. At the 7th level, you can wear dragon-slaying equipment and learn the ultimate skill, "Infinite True Qi." It is said that once Infinite True Qi is activated, the Taoist's attack power will be doubled.
