Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Four gray wolves pounced on them together.

Brook didn't attack, nor did he teleport away. Instead, he ran around the edge of the spiral grass, with Xiaobai following closely behind.

The gray wolf did not follow the circle, but rushed straight forward and entered the attack range of the spiral grass.

"Bang, bang, bang!" Sharp branches and leaves stabbed down like spears and bayonets. With the exception of the six-legged wolf in the front, the other three were all attacked by the spiral grass. Feeling the pain, the three wolves immediately changed their targets and engaged in a fierce battle with the reckless spiral grass.

Only the largest grey wolf was left charging forward. Brook stopped retreating and raised his Primordial Shield to resist.

Leap forward, claw out general skills, sneak attack and bite! 30,000, 12,000, 40,000.

Brook cast a group healing spell while silently enduring the wolf's attacks for dozens of seconds. He found that the wolf only had a few moves back and forth, and did not have any particularly powerful skills. But against this wolf, Brook changed his position and could completely withstand it.

Brook launched a counterattack using poison and bloodthirst skills; Xiaobai aimed at the gray wolf and directly used the finger of death. With a sound of a snap, under the effect of poison, he dealt 600 million damages, which knocked down a large part of the gray wolf's health in one go.

Gray Wolf felt the pain, and his hatred was instantly drawn to Xiao Bai. He wanted to pounce, but was blocked by Brook. Brook's damage was also very high. After a few bloodthirst spells, Gray Wolf's hatred was drawn to Brook again.

Seeing its health dwindling, the wolf didn't flee or cheer for its companions, instead blindly attacking Brook, oblivious to the fact that its attacks were incapable of killing him. Meanwhile, the other three wolves were too preoccupied with the spiral grass to rush over to help. It seemed these void creatures, while perceptive and swift, had limited combat intelligence. This was a simple matter.

In less than a minute, the wolf was killed, and only one item dropped: the Horcrux of the six-legged wolf. Although it was just an ordinary Horcrux that increased health by 100 points, Brook was still very happy. No matter the quality, it was good to get a Horcrux.

At this time, the battle between the other three wolves and the spiral grass had not yet been decided. Although the spiral grass could not move and its main stem was constantly attacked, and most of its health had been knocked down, it had many branches and leaves, which also caused a lot of damage to the gray wolves. Although it was at a disadvantage for the time being, it still continued to attack.

While the spiral grass was still holding the wolf back, Brooke poisoned another tall six-legged wolf, lured it over, and killed it with Xiaobai. Then he killed the remaining two little wolves and finally took the dying spiral grass. Unfortunately, they didn't drop anything.

On the other side, a large group of floating jellyfish were still concentrating on eating, and they had no interest in the battle here at all.

Brook attacked one of the largest jellyfish, one with 1000 million HP. The jellyfish was slow to react and took several hits before finally floating up. It didn't fight back, but instead flew upwards, trying to avoid Brook's attack. The other jellyfish continued to feed.

Brook chased after it, immobilized it with Bloodthirsty Paralysis, and continued to attack it. Then Xiaobai used a Death Finger, killing it instantly. The giant jellyfish slowly fell from the sky, leaving behind nothing but 10 experience points.

These void creatures had high stats, but a low drop rate. Brook lost interest in the remaining floating jellyfish. They simply gnawed at the corpses and didn't attack. They posed no threat, and since they couldn't drop anything, it was best to leave them alone.

The other type of fluorescent mushroom, although tall, is like the floating jellyfish and will not attack or pose a threat, so it can be ignored.

Besides this, there are hundreds of spiral grasses, large and small, all around. They won't attack when you first pass by, seemingly dormant. But if you stay nearby for a while, they'll awaken and attack. These threatening void creatures should be eliminated whenever possible.

While the spiral grass's stats weren't particularly high, its numerous branches and leaves resembled a tentacle monster. Each attack required multiple attacks, making it even more formidable than a single six-legged gray wolf. An ordinary human cultivator would have found it difficult to deal with, but for Brook and Xiaobai, it was easy, as their attack range was greater than the spiral grass's. Furthermore, the spiral grass couldn't move, leaving them like targets for Brook and Xiaobai to pick off one by one, dispatching them in less than half a minute.

The two of them moved forward slowly, clearing the spiral grass one by one. When they killed the 12th one, a spiral grass horcrux finally exploded, which also increased their health by 100. Brook and Xiaobai were very happy. Although the increase was not much, there were countless spiral grasses ahead. As long as they accumulated them slowly, they would definitely get rich rewards.

※ ※ ※ ※ ※ ※

Continue forward along the long cave, constantly killing spiral grass and six-legged gray wolves, and encounter two other aggressive void creatures during this period.

The Sudoku, with 2000 million HP and 2 Attack, is a plant that doesn't deal much damage but is highly manipulable. Its roots and vines quietly creep along the ground, capable of entwining and stabbing. A hit inflicts 2 seconds of paralysis, making it highly concealed.

Annihilation Sunflower, with 1500 million HP and 4 Attack. A plant similar to a sunflower, except instead of a flower disk, the main stem features a large demonic eye. The actual flower disk is located on the surrounding branches, covered in fungal spores. If a creature approaches, the spores are ejected and explode upon impact, dealing significant damage.

Brook will mercilessly kill any void creature that launches an active attack.

The drop rate for Horcruxes is still low, with an average of 10+ Void creatures dropping a Horcrux, which adds 100 health, 2 defense, or 2 attack, with average stats. Perhaps higher-level Void creatures will drop better ones, like the tall, pale alien creature Xiaofa killed earlier, which seemed very powerful, but unfortunately, I haven't encountered it again.

After walking for a whole day and night, covering at least 100,000 yards, a stronger dim light appeared in front of us, and we finally reached the end of the passage.

Brooke and Xiaobai took a few quick steps, and suddenly their view opened up! At first glance, they saw a vast underground space, and the two of them were in an inconspicuous cave halfway up the mountain in this underground space.

There are no dense forests in the underground space, only various huge creatures emitting various colors of dim light:

A red four-winged dragon danced in the sky, a green hammer-headed bull quietly nibbled on the ground, a blue three-tailed lizard darted past, and a green saw-toothed mantis flapped its wings and leaped back and forth among the branches...

"Xiaobai, I'm going to go check it out down there. You wait here for me."

"Well, be careful."

Brook teleported to the base of a fluorescent mushroom, over 30 yards tall. Nearby, a dozen hammer-headed oxen, each 5 or 6 yards tall, were grazing on the low-lying mushrooms and grass. Brook approached them, drawing the oxen's attention. They glanced sideways at Brook, then, perhaps sensing his weakness, ignored him and returned to their meal.

Spiritual revelation.

Hammerhead Bull: HP 4 million, Attack 6000, Defense 6000, Magic Defense 6000.

Although this spotted bull is a void creature and very powerful, it appears to have a docile temperament and will not attack proactively.

Brooke quietly surveyed his surroundings, then suddenly, without warning, took two quick steps back. A sharp sickle flashed before his eyes, and then a two-foot-tall green mantis appeared in front of him on the left. The mantis turned its head, its eerie, dead fish eyes fixed on him intently, as if it hadn't expected Brooke to dodge it.

Sawtooth Mantis: HP 3000 million, Attack 5, Defense 1000, Magic Defense 1000.

This mantis was fast and adept at sneak attacks, but unfortunately, with its detection necklace, Brook had already spotted it. Back in the Misty Forest, the fog was so thick that even the detection necklace couldn't see clearly. But now, even in the cave, the fluorescent light allowed for a clear 500-yard radius, making it impossible for the Void creature to hide. A sneak attack would require it to emerge from the ground.

Before the mantis in front of him could launch an attack, Brook disappeared with a whoosh, and a second mantis appeared where he had just stood.

This time I came here alone just to detect information about monsters and didn't want to fight with them right away.

Brook appeared on top of a giant mushroom. A red, four-winged dragon with a floating jellyfish in its mouth passed over the mushroom. Brook raised his hand and waved, a spiritual revelation.

Four-winged red dragon: HP 8000 million, Attack 8, Defense 3000, Magic Defense 3000.

The four-winged red dragon flew by and suddenly saw Brook. Its eyes lit up, and it turned around, extended its claws and swooped down at Brook. It seemed that this guy was not a pushover either.

Whoosh, Brook disappeared again, this time reappearing next to a low plant 200 yards away. A blue lizard, over four yards long, glared at the suddenly appearing Brook with bared teeth.

Three-tailed Blue Lizard: HP 3000 million, Attack 3, Defense 2000, Magic Defense 2000.

It looked like it wanted to pounce and fight, but after taking two steps it suddenly stopped, its eyes rolling around as if it sensed something, and then it ran away quickly as if it was escaping for its life.

Brooke was puzzled. The detection necklace showed no powerful creatures nearby. Could it be that his domineering aura had scared off the three-tailed blue lizard?

Suddenly, a huge sense of crisis enveloped my whole body.

"Crash~" With a loud bang, mud splashed and gravel shot out, and a terrifying giant creature jumped out of the ground and rushed straight into the sky!

Its entire body is covered with a hard shell with a purple-black glow, and the shell is covered with disgusting corrosive mucus; its sandworm-like body protrudes high above the ground, with a diameter of ten yards and a height of more than sixty yards; its head extends with multiple tentacles that can attack independently, and in the center is a huge mouth full of sharp teeth.

And Brooke has been swallowed by it in one gulp!

Void Baron: HP 10 billion, Attack 30, Defense 2, Magic Defense 2.

The huge noise immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding void creatures. They all saw the Void Baron breaking out of the ground, the hammer-headed bull, the saw-toothed mantis, and even the floating jellyfish and four-winged red dragon in the air all retreated.

But there was a nimble figure, with a pair of dark blue fluorescent wings spread out, stepping on the branches and leaves of plants, rushing towards this side like a dragonfly skimming the water.
