Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

The two of them left the Demon Sealing City. Brooke followed the map of the Demon Sealing Valley from memory, running southwest. He ignored the skeletons, zombies, and other low-level monsters he encountered along the way. There were also some powerful Orc Warriors, some of which were ordinary with 300 HP and attack power similar to that of wild boars; some were elite with 900 HP, 0-80 attack, 100 defense, and 0 magic resistance. They moved very quickly, just like the Orc Warriors in the Unknown Dark Palace, and were quite difficult to deal with. Therefore, whenever he encountered an Orc Warrior, whether ordinary or elite, Bayin would cast the Light of Temptation to freeze them, not wanting to tangle with them.

There was a pond ahead, with two paths leading to a piece of high ground in the middle of the pond, where a tree grew. Brooke stopped.

"Look, that's the Millennium Dryad. It can't move, but can attack in groups. Its HP is 1800, its attack is 20-60, and its defense and magic defense are both 10." Brook reported the attributes of the Millennium Dryad.

"It won't move? Are you sure? Is it a physical or magical attack?" Bayin asked. The tree certainly wouldn't move, but who knew if the tree demon would move?

"Just try it and you'll know." Brooke ordered Xiaobai to walk towards the pond.

A spike emerged from the soil and pierced Xiaobai, taking away 35 HP. A second later, another spike emerged, knocking away another 1 HP from Xiaobai.

"It looks like a physical attack. The attack range of this tree is very large, more than 8 squares." Bayin said, the general long-range attack range is only 8 squares.

"It seems to be 10 squares. And its attack speed is quite fast, almost one ground spike per second." Brook ordered Xiaobai to retreat, stopped at the critical position of the Millennium Tree Demon's attack range, and then cast two healing spells on Xiaobai.

The Millennium Tree Demon has a group long-range attack with strong attack power. Xiaobai cannot take medicine himself, so it cannot withstand it.

"It seems we have to go on our own. Be careful." Brook said to Bayin, gave the two of them the Holy Armor Book and Ghost Shield, and rushed in first.

Bayin is level 31, with 134 HP. His magic shield is still level 0, so he is still relatively fragile.

"You should be careful too." Bayin held up the magic shield, changed into a prayer helmet, and put on a pair of sturdy gloves with magic 0-2 and defense 0-2, then ran into the attack range of the thousand-year-old tree demon.

Brook took two steps forward, stopping 2 blocks away from the Dryad, and cast Poison and Soul Fire. He took a high-level Golden Wound Potion and withstood the damage from the Ground Spikes.

Bayin arrived beside him, unleashing a lightning spell on the tree demon. The yellow eggshell rippled from the spikes; another poke cracked the eggshell. A level 0 magic shield could only absorb 15% of damage, its duration too short and unstable. Bayin could only cast a new magic shield, propping up a new eggshell.

Both had high defense, and the Dryad's spikes dealt around 25 points of damage each time. With both Wound Potion and Sun Water providing dual healing, they weren't overly stressful. Their combined attack power was also strong, taking over 100 HP off the Dryad per round. If Bayin hadn't had to replenish his magic shield every few seconds, his efficiency would have been even higher.

This lasted less than half a minute before the Millennium Tree Demon was slain. Unfortunately, the drops weren't as numerous as expected. Mostly potions and potent sun water, the best items being a memory necklace and a bottle of blessed oil.

Bayin took the blessed oil, while Brook picked up the memory necklace. They also collected branches of the thousand-year-old tree demon and flew directly back to the Demon Sealing City.

Only 30 minutes had passed since the Lord of Sealing Demon City issued the mission. If I had made a cup of tea, it should still be warm now.

Brook and Bayin walked into the Demon Sealing Palace and threw the branches of the thousand-year-old tree demon on the ground of the palace.

"Lord City Lord, the first task you issued has been completed." Brook said respectfully.

The person in front of them was the avatar of the Woma Cult Leader, whose strength far surpassed that of ordinary leaders. They could not afford to offend him now. Throwing the branches on the ground was already their greatest resistance.

"Hmph, there's no need to be so arrogant. Killing a thousand-year-old tree demon in half an hour is no big deal." How could the Wo Ma Sect Leader not see through the two men's thoughts? "Next, you must go to the Demon Sealing Cave and obtain the fangs of the Rainbow Demon Pig Guard and the tail scales of the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard. I hope you don't die, otherwise I will have to send someone to notify Bi Qi City. I don't want to waste too much time on low-level cultivators."

The Wo Ma Cult Leader issued a second mission. He still looked down on Brook and the others.

"My Lord City Lord, I'd like to ask you a question: Have you been so powerful since birth? Don't worry, you don't have to spend too much time on us, and you don't have to send anyone to notify Biqi City. We will definitely complete the task and bring the Pig Guard Fangs and Scorpion Guard Tail Scales to you as soon as possible!" Brook clasped his fists to the Woma Cult Leader and turned to leave.

"I haven't finished speaking yet! Young monks these days are so unlovable, despite their low level and bad temper. Humph!" Cult Leader Wo Ma snorted coldly, "If you die in there, we can't keep waiting forever. So, you only have 24 hours. If you're not back by then, you'll be considered dead. I'll send someone to notify Bi Qi City and ask them to send high-level monks back."

Brook turned his back to the Woma Cult Leader and said nothing. After a while, he turned around and said:

"Lord City Lord, killing the thousand-year-old tree demon in half an hour is indeed not a great feat. You just said you would give us 24 hours. What if we kill the Rainbow Demon Pig Guard and the Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guard in 2 hours?"

"Two hours!? Haha~ Did Biqi City send you here just to make me laugh? Have you been to the Demon Sealing Cave? Do you know where the Rainbow Demon Pig Guards and Rainbow Demon Scorpion Guards are? Do you know how long it would take you to run all the way there even if there were no obstacles? Do you know that you can't use random numbers starting from the Hall of Tyrants?" The Wo Ma Sect Leader laughed in anger, almost spitting out saliva. "Low-level monks are like this, they know nothing and can only talk nonsense. How can I pay attention to them? Get out of here right now!"

You know, even if he personally took action and crushed his way through, he wouldn't be able to complete it within 2 hours. Of course, he needed to stay in the Demon Sealing City and couldn't go there in person.

"Lord City Lord, how about we make a bet? Let's bet on whether we can complete the task within 2 hours. If we lose, we will never set foot in the Demon Sealing Palace again, so that you won't be upset when you see us." Brook said with a smile.

"Okay! If you win, I will let you be the city lord! Everyone in the Demon Sealing City, including me, will obey you!" Leader Woma sneered.

"The Demon Sealing City needs the protection of the Lord Leader. I don't dare to be the city lord." Brook said with a fist.

"You know you don't dare? I thought you dared to do anything. Then just tell me what you want." The Woma leader waved his hand and said casually.

"If I win, I have only one request: please treat us politely, like your best friends," Brook said.

The Woma leader was stunned. He didn't expect Brook to make such a request. This request was too easy. There was no loss. After a while, he slowly said:

"Alright! The sun has just risen. If you can complete the mission before it sets, I'll admit I underestimated you. I'll treat you like friends, and you two will be the most distinguished guests of the Demon Sealing Valley."

Outside the palace, the sun is rising over the continent of Marfa. Two hours later, the sun will set.

Is it possible for them to do it?
