Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Brook waited for a while, confirming that Karthus was indeed dead and no spirit would appear again, and then teleported back to the Warcraft battlefield.

The equipment dropped by Karthus is still there.

Supreme Gem, Hero Gem, Blessing Gem, Soul Gem, Mayan Gem, Dragon Magic Chain, Dragon Magic Boots, "Mad Thunder Purple Lightning", Eight-Turn Pill, Eight-Turn Pill.

Brook was very lucky, or maybe it was because Karthus was too strong, he suddenly got two eighth-level pills and a mage advanced skill book.

Brook picked up the equipment, flew to the dragon's back, and gave it all to Bayin.

By this time, the Rift Herald had been slain, and the monsters began to encircle the human monks. The Ancient Dragon descended to the ground to help draw fire. Unable to withstand the damage, Ying Ao and his companions used teleportation rings and team summons to constantly teleport back and forth around the Ancient Dragon to evade the monsters' attacks. They couldn't leave; they had to buy time for Brook. They were stretched thin, unable to hold on.

"The king-level monster has been dealt with. Seniors, retreat!"

"Elder, fly up and attack the Demon Eye with dragon breath!"

"Bayin, wait for me to come back!"

While the dragon's breath blocked the sight of the magic eye and the monster's attention was still on the ancient dragon, Brook flew to a distance, summoned Xiaobai, switched titles, and did it all in one go; then he whooshed to the front of the vortex channel and stepped in with Xiaobai!

500 yards from the outpost camp, in the center of the Warcraft battlefield.

Bayin landed on the ground riding an ancient dragon.

"Brooke entered the passage?" Ying Ao asked.

"Yes." Bayin said.

"Did Brook really kill the king-level monster?" asked the Lord of Wushuang City.

"Yes."

Everyone looked incredulous.

"Did the Eight-Turn Pill explode?" asked the Great Sage Xuanyuan.

"Yes." Bayin took out the 10 pieces of equipment that had exploded and showed them to everyone. "These pieces of equipment are for you seniors. Thank you for your help."

"Give it all to us? You two don't want the Eight Revolutions Pill?" Yingying asked.

"To reply to Her Royal Highness the Princess, it's still a long way for the two of us to reach the eighth level, so why not give it to someone who needs it more urgently. This is also what Brook meant, so please don't be polite, seniors!" Bayin handed the equipment to Ying Ao with a smile.

Everyone looked at each other and already understood Brook's plan.

Since Brook has the ability to kill a king-level monster alone, when he arrives at Red Star, he will be able to find more king-level monsters and obtain more Eight-Turn Pills.

The two Eighth Shift Pills were no longer important. What mattered was whether Brook could return alive from the Red Star, which was infested with demonic beasts. If Brook could return, he would definitely bring back enough Eighth Shift Pills, and Bayin would reach the Eighth Shift early.

"Sister Bayin, we fought together in the Monster Main City, and we are already comrades who share life and death, so there is no need to call me senior or your highness. Just call me Yingying! Come, add me as a friend! I heard that you often go to Wenhua Palace to read books? I will say hello to the guards of the imperial city, and you can go in directly in the future without having to borrow the pass from the Wenren people." Yingying said with a smile.

"Yingying is right! Bayin, next time you go to the Three Kingdoms ancient battlefield, if you find that the opening time has not yet arrived, come to me! I can help you open it in advance." said the Wushuang City Lord.

"Yes, Bayin, next time if you need to smelt equipment, come to me directly at the manor. I will take you to the Heaven and Earth Melting Furnace which is specially used by the eighth-level cultivators. It is quiet there and no one will disturb you." The owner of the manor also said.

These were the privileges of an eighth-rank cultivator. Although Bayin was still a seventh-rank cultivator, he could already be considered an equal.

"Bayin, go back and tell Wenren Tianxiang that my Xuanyuan family is willing to give up the map of the underground palace abyss for half a year. When Brook comes back, I will thank him in person for helping me retrieve the teleportation ring!" Xuanyuan Great Sage said with a fist salute.

"Hey~ My paralysis ring works the same way. Thank you!" Tuoba Hongye also saluted Bayin with a fist.

"Haha~ Bayin! I also want to thank you and Brook! The ultimate move of that king-level monster just now has covered the entire Warcraft battlefield. Fortunately, Brook killed it beforehand, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous!" Commander Ying Ao laughed heartily, "I have great confidence in Brook now! I believe that Brook will be able to return safely, and it won't take too long!"

"Thank you very much, sir, and thank you all!" Bayin clasped his fists and bowed.

The ancient dragon yawned in boredom. Those two human Taoist priests were truly pathetic. Bayin claimed they were experts, yet they couldn't even heal the dragon! Luckily, the health loss wasn't too great; it would recover after ten days of rest. I wonder when Brook will be back.

The monsters began to gather in the middle lane, not for attack, but for defense. Repairing the monster base in the middle lane would take at least one or two months.

The human cultivators were also wary of taking it easy. All Rank 8 cultivators had died once, some even twice. The commander of the guards issued strict orders not to approach the main monster city, and to not provoke the monsters again or draw out other king-level monsters.

Both sides needed to rest and recuperate, and the Warcraft battlefield returned to peace.

※※※※※※※

Brook and Xiaobai's eyes lit up and they found themselves in a corner of a magnificent hall.

The hall's ceiling was intricately carved with murals, and surrounded by numerous stained windows, through which crimson light streamed in. To its left stood a massive, spotlessly polished organ, and to its right was a crimson vortex tunnel, shrinking at a visible speed. Most striking was the center of the hall, where a massive, 20-yard-wide cemetery, shimmering with a purple-black glow, loomed. A faint, shrill sound emanated from within, its destination unknown.

"Who are you?" a low roar was heard.

A huge bone dragon walked in from the right side of the hall and saw Xiaobai and Brook at a glance.

"Where is His Highness Death Song? Why would you, a mere lowest-level mutant skeleton, appear in His Highness Death Song's Requiem Hall? Answer me!" The bone dragon Sapilon stared at Xiaobai viciously.

"His Highness Karthus was teleported to the Warcraft battlefield. I just came from there." Xiaobai replied, pointing to the vortex passage on the right.

The bone dragon Sapiron finally saw the vortex passage next to it.

"Warcraft Battlefield? What happened? How is His Highness Death Song?"

"...Humans have attacked the main city and the situation is critical. Prince Demon Eyes asked Prince Karthus to come over for help... Uh, Prince Karthus is fine, that's it." Xiaobai said.

"Why didn't His Highness come back?"

"...because the fight continues."

"Then why did you come here?"

"...Because I am weak, I can't help."

"I understand. The battle isn't over yet, but you've escaped. You cowardly deserter!" the Bone Dragon said coldly.

Brook lowered his head slightly, seemingly silent, but in reality, he was constantly communicating with Xiaobai, who then responded. This bone dragon, Sapiron, was not very powerful, roughly equivalent to a rank 7 Frost Executioner. If it attacked, Brook would not be afraid of it.

"I'm not a deserter. I came back because I have something important to do. Lord Sapilon, no matter what, you and I are both at the 7th level. We are equal. I hope you can be more polite!" Xiaobai said.

"Haha~ With only 10 HP and a mutant skeleton without even a name, who gave you the courage to talk to me about equality? It can't be the humanoid puppet behind you, right? Hehe~ If it weren't for the fact that we are both undead, I really want to breathe frost and kill you and the True Soul Taoist behind you instantly!"

Brook's face was expressionless and he didn't move. That's right, Brook's current name is not Brook, but True Soul Taoist.

In the past, Xiaobai was a baby monster summoned by Brook.

Now, Brook is the humanoid baby carried by Xiaobai.
