Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Chapter 440: Decisive Battle in South Central China

Double the attack range?

Brook immediately put it in his backpack. Sure enough, the range of all his skills, including Bloodlust, Poison, Hurricane Break, and Group Healing, increased to 16 yards!

This vacuum book is very useful!

Hmm? Could it be the rare item Mu Yue mentioned that could be taken to other ancient battlefields?

"Bayin! Muyue! Where are you?" Brook shouted.

"Here it comes! Here it comes~"

Bayin and Wenren Muyue ran out from somewhere.

"Where have you been?"

"He hid himself." Bayin said truthfully.

"What? I'm fighting Lu Bu in a one-on-one duel, and you're hiding instead of coming to help?"

"You don't need help, right? If you can't win, just fly away. Why stay and fight Lu Bu? So you will definitely win! No need for help. We have confidence in you!"

"......If you guys come over to help, at least I can fight more easily."

"Actually, this really can't be blamed on us. Just now, you and Lu Bu were fighting one-on-one, your brilliance was so dazzling and your aura was so overwhelming that we were almost blinded and couldn't get any closer." Wenren Muyue said.

"is it?"

"Yes. You are still shining like a golden star! Really... so handsome!" Wenren Muyue said infatuatedly.

"Ahem~ The awakening time is almost here, and everything will be back to normal soon. Come, help me take a look at this equipment. Is it the rare item you mentioned?"

Brook handed the Vacuum Book to the two of them. Once the Vacuum Book was picked up, it was automatically bound to him. Even if he gave it to Bayin Muyue, they would not be able to use it.

Bayin and Wenren Muyue gathered together to take a closer look, then looked at each other, and finally looked at Brooke, with envy and admiration on their faces!

"Well? Tell me! Is it true or not?"

"I think so!"

"I think so too! Brooke, you are so lucky!"

"So, you're not completely sure?" Brooke got the key point.

"This should be a rare item that the empire has not yet discovered. In fact, it is very easy to determine whether it is really a rare item. You can go to the base camp to find the quartermaster. If he is willing to help you preserve it, it means it is." Wenren Muyue said.

"Really? Then wait for me for a moment, I'll be back soon. Oh, and by the way, there are some equipment materials on the ground, pick them up."

Brooke finished speaking and quickly teleported to the southeastern Allied Forces headquarters. Sure enough, he found the quartermaster in a corner.

"Excuse me, Mr. Quartermaster, I heard you can store items here?"

"Yes. However, I don't accept ordinary items. I only keep valuable and rare items here."

"Then do you think this can be saved?"

"It's actually a vacuum book! Yes, of course!"

"Uh~ If I go to other battlefields, can I still find you?" Brook looked at the other party in confusion, feeling a little uneasy.

"You can't find me in other battlefields. But you can find other quartermasters. Some supplies are interchangeable among us quartermasters. Don't think that you are the only ones who can use magic with fans, staffs, and talismans. We quartermasters also have our own unique skills! You can safely store the props with me; in the future, in any battlefield, as long as there is a quartermaster, you can take out your items anytime, anywhere!" said the quartermaster proudly.

"Oh! I see, then I understand. Thank you very much, sir. You are really amazing! I will keep the vacuum book with you."

Brook stored the vacuum book and returned to Sishui Pass.

"The items have been stored. They are indeed rare items. Hey, why didn't you pick up the materials on the ground? Why are you being so polite to me? I'll take the Vacuum Book, and you can divide the other things among yourselves."

"Mu Yue and I have discussed this, and we think we should first gather all the supplies and give them to one person to arm him first. Once he becomes stronger, he can lead everyone to the high-difficulty battlefield. If there are any extra supplies, the others can pick them up."

"That makes sense! So you are going to give the materials to me? How can I do that? When I become stronger, I will definitely take you to the Shura battlefield, haha!" Brook took all the things without hesitation.

"Sister Bayin, look at him! He's so proud of himself after killing Lu Bu."

"Brook, the mission is not yet completed. Don't forget, there is still Hua Xiong in there."

"Got it. Let's go and meet Hua Xiong!"

The three of them re-entered Sishui Pass and found Hua Xiong riding a black horse and holding a spear.

With spiritual enlightenment and poisoning, Brook took the lead and began to surround and kill.

Hua Xiong, the enemy commander, is slightly stronger than the average general, with 600 million HP and 1-1 Attack. He has no Dou Qi and is alone, so he poses no significant threat to Brook and the other two. Simply keep an eye on him and interrupt him before he can activate his ultimate.

Sometimes they could freeze and slow him down, sometimes they could paralyze and petrify him, and when he encountered danger, he could teleport away. Hua Xiong was toyed with by the three of them.

Not long after, Hua Xiong was beaten to death, and a Wushuang Order and a primary defense military book were dropped, and that was it.

Brook picked them up. Two is fine, though it's a little less, but it doesn't matter. After all, this is only a 2-star entry-level level, and this time is just a test. Keep trying.

In mid-air, a white teleportation light gate slowly opened.

"The door is open! It seems to only last 2 minutes. Come on, let's go back to the city!"

"Okay, back to the city!"

The three of them immediately activated the return stone. The light of the return stone slowly rotated above their heads. After a few seconds, with a whoosh, the three of them disappeared at the same time.

A group of Allied Forces soldiers rushed in, found Hua Xiong's body on the ground, and immediately ran out happily.

"Hurry! Go inform Lord Yuan Shao! No need to run anymore! Lü Bu and Hua Xiong have been killed. We've taken Sishui Pass!"

The snowflakes in the sky stopped falling at some point, and the chaotic Sishui Pass regained its tranquility.

※※※※※※※

Unparalleled city.

Brook stored the three Wushuang Orders and one Purple Sun Stone in the warehouse. He also found the master of military books in the city and asked about the military books.

"Military books are divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels. Three books of the same type can be combined to create a more advanced type of soldier. This is a unique item in our Wushuang City. Since the discovery of military books on the ancient battlefield, our ancestors have devoted themselves to research and finally created a brand new way to equip them. Just like zodiac jewelry, it will not take up space on your existing equipment or backpack. However, if you want to equip a military book, you first need to use a seal-breaking stone to unlock the slot for the military book."

"Broken Sealing Stone?"

"Yes. Each broken seal stone can unlock a hole. Of course, you have to pay me an additional 2 Shenlong coins as a hole-opening fee."

"The drilling fee is fine, but where can you get the seal-breaking stone you mentioned?"

"The Wushuang City Chamber of Commerce sells them. They're not expensive, only 200 Yuanbao each. They're unique to Wushuang City, and you can't find them anywhere else!"

"......" Brook was speechless for a while.

One slot costs 200 Yuanbao, 16 slots cost 3200 Yuanbao. If you open all the slots for the four military books: Attack, Life, Defense, and Magic Defense, that's Yuanbao! And theoretically, every cultivator above the 4th level has to spend this money.

How much profit is this?

So this is how Wushuang City generates revenue! Exclusive monopoly business, really amazing!

Brook had no choice but to go to the Chamber of Commerce to buy a few seal-breaking stones, and then find a master of military manuals to help him open the holes. Only then could he equip the three newly-exploded military manuals: the Primary Attack Military Manual, the Intermediate Attack Military Manual, and the Primary Defense Military Manual.

Currently, it only increases attack by 40 points and defense by 10 points, which is not much of an improvement. Only after collecting all the military books will a qualitative change occur.

It was 7 p.m. Bayin and Muyue were busy, so the three of them went their separate ways. There was still an hour until the agreed time.

Brook returned to the Dragon Empire, teleported to the South Gate of Yongning, activated the fragments of the magic weapon, and flew to the Marfa continent.

※※※※※※※

"How's it going, Mu Yue? Any news?" Brook asked.

"Yes. I found out!" Wenren Muyue said.

"Where are they?"

"My eldest brother, Sister Ziyu, Linghu Zhong, Linghu Song and the others are all at Jiayin Pass."

"Jiayin Pass? I remember it was a 3-star normal difficulty map, and there was only one faction to choose from. Is it difficult?"

"It shouldn't be that difficult. I heard from Linghu Shan that my brother and his friends have been to Jiayin Pass many times. They're looking for the special item, the steamed bun bag."

"A steamed bun bag? You can get steamed buns, chicken legs, and Huatuo ointment by opening the jar. The steamed bun bag only has a chance of popping out steamed buns... Does it have any special use?" Brook asked doubtfully.

"You don't know. In battles of beginner, easy, and normal difficulty, food is relatively easy to obtain. But when the difficulty level reaches hard, food becomes harder to find. And in Shura difficulty, even if you search the entire battlefield, you'll hardly find a single steamed bun. Therefore, in high-difficulty battles, food is extremely precious, and the steamed bun bag is particularly important."

"I see. So you mean that a steamed bun bag can be found at Jiayin Pass?"

"Yes. The Linghu family has heard reliable news: the Xuanyuan family once had an 8th-rank master who obtained a steamed bun bag at Jiayin Pass! That's why my eldest brother, Linghu Zhong and the others went to Jiayin Pass."

"Don't they say that special items can only be obtained by luck? Why do we have to go to Jiayin Pass?"

"You ask me? How would I know? I'm not a worm in my eldest brother's stomach."

"...Okay. Then should we go to Jiayin Pass to help?"

"No, they've been there many times, so they shouldn't be in any danger. The elders of Wushuang City just said that the Jiayin Pass Ancient Battlefield has been open for several days, and the time limit will be reached in two days. When the time comes, they will naturally come out."

"it is good."

"Sister Bayin said she needed to look up some information. I don't know when she'll be able to come over."

"Coming soon."

Just as Brook finished speaking, a person was teleported over from the Wushuang City Square with a whoosh sound. It was Bayin.

"I seem to be late, sorry."

"Not late, exactly 8 o'clock."

"Sister Bayin, my sister said you borrowed the family token from her. Did you go to the Imperial City?"

"Yeah, I went to Wenhua Hall and looked up some information about the ancient battlefields of the Three Kingdoms."

"Any new discoveries?" Brooke asked.

"A little bit. About the special props."

"Oh? Tell me."

"Special items may appear completely by luck; but it is also possible that as long as certain conditions are met on the battlefield, they will definitely appear!" Bayin said.

"He will definitely appear?!" Brooke and Wenren Muyue said in surprise.

"This is just my speculation. We'll have to do some experiments to see if it's true."

"How to do it?"

"Elephant stirrups! We'll use them for experiments. Elephants only appear in battles related to South China. I hazard a guess that to obtain them, we must go to South China." Bayin spoke calmly, his words clear and melodious. Brooke and Wenren Muyue listened silently, waiting for Bayin to continue.

"There are currently four battles in Nanzhong. The Battle of Nanzhong, the Offensive of Nanzhong, the Pacification of Nanzhong, and the final one, the Decisive Battle of Nanzhong."

"I looked into the events of these four battles, and during the South-Central Battle, there was a special incident involving elephants."

"After Sima Yi of Wei defeated Zhuge Liang of Shu, he began attacking the Southern Barbarians. To protect their territory, the Nanman leaders, Meng Huo and Zhu Rong, sent out a corps of wild beasts, including elephants and tigers. For a time, they pushed the Wei army back, but they were ultimately defeated by Sima Yi's chariot troops. Therefore, we might as well use this as a breakthrough point for our experiment."

"But there's a problem: the Nanzhong decisive battle has a 4-star difficulty level. We can only join the Nanman army. Wei has many generals, and the Wei commander, Sima Yi, is in his awakened state. This battle will last up to a month. If we can't defeat Sima Yi, we'll have to stay there for a month. Of course, if the Nanman commander, Meng Huo, dies, the battle will end early, but if we fail, we'll gain nothing."

After Bayin finished speaking, he looked at Brook and Wenren Muyue quietly.

"Actually, I've always wanted to see elephants. It doesn't matter if I can't get the stirrups, at least I can see elephants. It would be fun to ride an elephant! A month is not very long. We have teleportation rings anyway, so we can just run away if we can't defeat them. At worst, we can just treat it as a vacation on the ancient battlefield." Wenren Muyue was not afraid at all, and was quite looking forward to it.

Wenren Muyue is not afraid, and Brook is even less afraid.

Bayin had previously mentioned that 4-star generals were difficult, with average health around 1000 million and attack power of 1-6. In the Warcraft battlefield, Brook had slain several monsters twice as powerful as his own. Even if the commander, Sima Yi, was in his Awakened state, Brook had a good chance of defeating him.

"If the difficulty is higher and there are more generals, the harvest will be better. I don't think it will be a big problem, we can do it!" Brook said confidently.

"Then it's decided. Mu Yue, tell your second sister not to worry if we can't come back in a short time." Bayin said.

"Well, I said, we're going on vacation to Nanzhong to see elephants!"

"Haha~ Alright! Let's go for the decisive battle in South Central!"
