Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

"If we go east from here, there's a dead end on the other side." Zhengnan said as he led the way east.

Not long after they walked, a sharp arrow suddenly shot out from the dark corner ahead and hit Zhengnan who was in the front with a ding sound. It was bounced back by Zhengnan's heavy armor, but Zhengnan was still hurt and lost 3 points of blood.

"That's the dark warrior. Sister Bayin, be careful." Zhengnan said as he rushed towards the monster in the corner.

Dark Warrior: Health 165, Attack 9-16, Defense 3, Magic Defense 2, Ranged Attack. This is a strange, reptilian monster, somewhat like a lizard, with only two legs and a slightly raised back covered in sharp spikes. It's currently using its back muscles to launch a ranged attack towards Zhengnan.

Zhengnan ran up to the Dark Warrior and slashed at him with his Prayer Blade. The Dark Warrior seemed intelligent enough to leap and turn, then flee. After leaping two steps, he turned and continued his stabbing attacks. Zhengnan could only follow, but his attacks often missed due to the Dark Warrior's movement. A level 24 Warrior still couldn't stab, so he was slow to respond against a fleeing foe.

It was the first time for Brook and Bayin to see a monster that could escape, so they couldn't help but observe it for a while. Bayin finally took action, firing two lightning bolts, and cooperated with Zhengnan to kill the dark warrior.

Several more dark warriors appeared in front of them, and before Zhengnan could get close, they had already launched an attack on him. This time, Brook and Bayin were not idle. They commanded their babies to rush forward, shooting lightning and soul fire talismans one after another, quickly killing the monsters and advancing.

The passage on the first floor of the Woma Temple is quite wide. Bonfires are placed on the left wall every few dozen meters, dimly illuminating the surrounding space. The path here doesn't run straight through, but instead features a series of 90-degree turns, winding like a maze. However, the overall direction of the path leads east.

A new monster appeared in front of them. It was gray-brown in color, stood on two feet, held a steel fork in its hand, had a pair of horns on its head, and dragged a tail behind it.

WoMa Warrior: HP 285, Attack 16-28, Defense 3, Magic Defense 2.

Every time they encountered a new monster, Brook would describe its general attributes, giving Bayin and the others a rough idea. The Woma Warrior's attack power was almost the same as the wild boar in the stone tomb, but its health was slightly lower.

I'm afraid the Woma Temple will be just as difficult as the Stone Tomb. Brook and Bayin didn't dare to be careless. Zhengnan, influenced by them, was also completely focused. The three of them continued to kill the monsters and push forward.

The road to the east gradually turned north. Just then, a warrior from another world, wearing a light helmet, ran out from the corner ahead, casting healing spells on himself as he ran. Behind him, a demonic beast chased him. It looked very similar to the Womar warrior, except it was dressed in black and wielded a meteor hammer.

WoMa Warrior: HP 285, Attack 15-29, Defense 3, Magic Defense 2.

"Brother and sister, take care of me." The Taoist priest with a light helmet was named Death Dio. When he saw Brook and the other two, he felt like he had seen his savior and immediately ran over.

Brook and Bayin commanded the babies to face the Woma warrior and quickly killed it.

"Little boy, what level are you? Are you leveling up here alone? Where are your parents?" Brook asked.

"Oh my god, I'm not a kid, I'm just at a lower level." Death God Dio said speechlessly.

"So what level are you?" Brook continued to ask.

"Level 15." Death God Dio answered truthfully.

"Oh~ Is this someone you know?" Brook turned to look at Zhengnan.

Zhengnan immediately shook his head to indicate that he didn't know her.

"Little boy, the WoMa Temple is very dangerous. You should go back to Bichi and level up in the Orc Tomb. It's more suitable for you." Brook didn't want to be a nanny.

"I will heal you. Look!" The God of Death Dio cast a healing spell on Brook, and also cast a few spells on Zhengnan and Bayin next to him. The white light kept spinning above the heads of the three people with the sound of dripping.

"We are going to the deepest part of the Woma Temple. It's full of monsters. We are busy with our own affairs and have no time to look after you. You will be beaten to death by monsters in there." Brook threatened the child.

"You want to go to the deepest part? Then you have to take me with you. I just want to go in and take a look. I don't need any care. I'm not afraid of death. Please take me with you. I promise not to hold you back. Brother~Sister~Please~" pleaded the God of Death Dio.

Brook and the others looked at each other.

"Forget it, let's take him with us. He is a Taoist priest after all, at least he can add blood to my baby." Bayin softened his heart when he was called sister.

"Okay." Brook then added Dio, the God of Death, to the team and assigned him tasks. First, take care of himself and don't die; second, heal Bayin's evil maggot baby whenever he has time.

Dio, the God of Death, patted his chest and assured them that there was no problem. He immediately cast a healing spell on each of Bayin's four evil maggot babies. As a warrior from another world, he could see the health bars. Seeing that the four babies were already full, he stopped healing and followed the three of them obediently.

Bayin nodded with satisfaction. This kid is quite smart, so there shouldn't be any problem.

The four-member team continued their journey and encountered a new kind of monster on the way.

Flame Woma: 340 HP, 14-26 Attack, 0 Defense, 0 Magic Resistance. This fiery red monster bears no weapons, but instead has a pair of bat-like wings on its back, resembling a miniature Woma leader. It attacks not with claws, but instead spews a stream of flame from its mouth, burning its enemies. Fortunately, this burst of flame is short-lived, quickly fading away. The Flame Woma needs to inhale again to regenerate its fire.

Brook went up to try it out specifically. This Flame WoMa is a magic attack.

The four of them slew monsters along the way, occasionally dropping some level 4-10 equipment. Death God Dio didn't even try to grab the fallen equipment, but instead followed behind, using healing magic to protect Bayin's baby. Seeing how obedient Death God Dio was, the three of them gave him all the low-level equipment. They kept saying thank you to their brother and thank you to their sister.

Following the winding, maze-like path, I reached the northernmost part of the map, then turned west. After passing a long corridor, I turned south. Finally, I arrived at a rectangular hall with a staircase leading down in the center. There were many monsters around, and several alien warriors were slaying them. Groups of Flame Womars and Womar Generals formed small square formations and pounced on the surrounding alien warriors. Without sufficient strength, they were simply impossible to resist.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll go over and ask." Zhengnan said in the team, and then ran over alone.

"Hi, Lu Bu, do you want to form a team?" Zhengnan came to a soldier and asked.

"Huh? Brother Nan, why do you suddenly want to team up with us? You know, the three of us are a fixed team, and we won't go to the second floor." The warrior named Lu Bu said, the three of them have been leveling up in this room on the first floor of the Woma Temple, and Zhengnan usually goes to the second floor.

"I'm going to fight the Wo Ma Cult Leader. Want to join us?" Zheng Nan invited. Lü Bu was afraid of fainting. Although they had never formed a team before, they often encountered him.

"Brother Nan, you are so awesome that you are going to fight the leader of WoMa. We all know what the third floor of WoMa looks like. Although you are level 24 and have all the best equipment, which is already very powerful, but I still don't believe you can beat him. It's not that I look down on you, Brother Nan, but no one can beat you now." A Taoist priest named DaBiDou said next to him.

"Hey, I'm not alone. Look, I found two big guys to help me." Zhengnan pointed behind him.

Lü Bu, fearing a few people would faint, looked towards Bayin and Brook in the distance, then saw the baby beside them. His eyes widened immediately, and he carefully examined their equipment. After a while, he couldn't help but blurt out "Oh my god" and "Awesome!"

"How about we team up and give it a try? These two big guys are not easy to meet. This is a rare opportunity." Zhengnan invited again.

Lü Bu, Da Bi Dou, and a nearby mage named Thirty-Six Stratagems of Journey to the West discussed the matter and quickly decided to go together. All three of them were level 23, which wasn't low, but their equipment was rather ordinary, unlike Zheng Nan, who was covered in designer or top-tier items.

So the three of them joined the team.

"Are there three more people next to you who want to form a group?" Brook asked, pointing at the three people on the other side in the distance.

"We don't know those three people well, so we won't form a team." Zhengnan said.

Brook nodded. It was understandable that unfamiliar people wouldn't form a group. There were still quite a few monsters around, but no one paid any attention to them. The group walked down the stairs and entered the second floor of the Woma Temple.

The entrance to the second floor was also a large rectangular room, but the number of monsters here was not as large as on the first floor. Two people were killing monsters in the distance, and when I looked closely, I realized they were killing a leader-level monster. The Womar Guardian, with 2 HP, was about to lose most of its HP.

Zhengnan was walking at the front of the team. When he saw the two people in front of him, he obviously knew them, so he walked over without saying a word.

"Meteor, do you need help?" Zhengnan walked forward and asked.

"Brother Nan, we finally caught a WoMa guard, so please don't steal it." said the warrior Meteor Butterfly Sword.

"Who said I was going to steal the monster? I just asked if you wanted to help me. Who am I, Zhengnan, to steal your monster? I'm just a Womar Guardian, I don't even think of him. We're going to kill the Womar leader, and we're still short a few men. Are you going?" Zhengnan said disdainfully. He was a relatively kind person. He thought the monster was almost dead, so there was no need to steal it.

Meteor Butterfly Sword was a level 23 warrior, and next to him was a level 23 Taoist priest who had forgotten about the martial arts world. The two of them were killing the Woma guard while talking to Zhengnan, and they were a little hesitant. So Zhengnan didn't waste any words and directly helped the two of them attack the Woma guard.

With Zhengnan's help, Liuxing and his team finally stabilized their position and successfully killed the low-health WoMa Guard, causing items to fall all over the ground.

Zhengnan stepped aside and watched the two men pick up items. The items on the ground were ordinary, no brand names, no top-tier items. The best was a demon-slaying ring.

After collecting their belongings, Meteor, Butterfly, and Sword thanked Zhengnan. They turned and saw the group behind them. Bayin's four maggot babies were particularly eye-catching. These were mage pets, summonable only at level 2. Meteor, Butterfly, and Sword couldn't help but take a few more glances.

"The team is still short of 4 people, are you coming?" Zhengnan asked.

"Okay. Your brother Nan's character is still reliable. When we go to the third floor later, you have to protect us." Meteor Butterfly Sword agreed, and the two joined the team.

Brook and Bayin looked at each other and smiled knowingly. "Brother Nan, it seems Zhengnan is quite famous in Woma Temple."

"Brother Nan, there are 9 of us now. There are not many mages. If possible, it would be better to find 2 more mages." Brook said.

"Mage, um~ okay. I know there are two mages who often level up near the entrance to the third floor. But they have fought with me before, I don't know if they are willing to join." Zhengnan said.

"Two mages? What were their names?" Brook remembered the two mages with mean names that Xiao Shuai had mentioned before, and who had also killed his cousin. Could they be those two?

"One is called Kongshan Mingjian, the other is called Hanmei Yingxue, a man and a woman, both level 24 mages." Zhengnan replied.

It’s not the enemy mage that Xiao Shuai mentioned.

"Oh~ As long as there is no problem with his character, it's fine. Brother Nan, you decide." Brooke said.

"Brother Bru, please don't call me that. I don't deserve it." Zhengnan felt embarrassed. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The previous fight was over the Wo Ma Guards. Their character is fine. They are very strong. To be honest, I quite like them. They are the only two left. I'll keep the spots for them. I hope we can meet again."
