Legend of Mir 2: Seeking the Truth in Marfa

Chapter 382 The Fearful Demon King

Near the safe zone, several monks were buying supplies from merchants at the auction house, when they suddenly looked in the same direction at the same time.

Next to the magic fountain of life, several rays of light lit up one after another.

"Tsk tsk~ Someone else has died and been reborn." The monks shook their heads and continued to pick items.

The light quickly dissipated, and figures appeared, namely Cullinan, Qin Shan and others.

"Cullinan! You killed us!" Qin Shan said angrily.

"You can't blame me! That sword master was too powerful. And they had an ambush," Cullinan argued.

"If we had gone our separate ways, if we hadn't killed the bull-headed beast, we wouldn't have angered the monster and wouldn't have died! Now the items in our backpacks, the golden bull hat, and the mission compass are all gone. What do you think we should do?!"

"I also lost my mission compass and costume fragments, and I also lost a zodiac ornament. I feel worse than you!"

"What! Your zodiac sign exploded? Great, great! You said before that with you here, any monster can be killed. Let you show off! Good job!"

"you......"

"You two, please stop arguing at this time. Our rank 6 pills have also exploded, and everyone has suffered a huge loss. But compared to the loss of items, I would like to ask, what is the punishment if the mission fails?" Chu Huaiyu asked.

"I don't know yet. I guess it's still the old rules. You have to serve on the front line for at least 3 days, or even 7 days. And you are not allowed to receive any rewards during these days." Cullinan said.

Everyone felt even more depressed.

"It doesn't necessarily mean failure. Yuan Bufan and Brooke are not dead yet. They are running ahead of me and may survive." Qin Shan said.

"Yes! They are not here, they are still alive!"

"As long as they can retrieve the mission compass and hand it over to the mission officer, our mission will not be considered a failure."

"...Even if they escaped, would they risk going back to pick up the compass?" someone poured cold water on the idea.

"You crow mouth!"

"If the items explode, they explode. If the rewards are gone, they are gone. But don't fail the mission again."

"God bless you! Yuan Bufan, Brooke, you have to be brave and get the mission compass back!"

Everyone prayed.

※※※※※※※

Brook, who was highly expected by others, was now in an empty alley in the city, checking the situation in the monster wild area through the reconnaissance guards.

This reconnaissance guard is quite magical. Its visual range is not affected by the fog and it can still see very far.

Yuan Bufan's body still lay on the ground. He had listened to Brook's words and hadn't resurrected. But he could only hold on for a maximum of 5 minutes, after which he would be forced to resurrect in the safe zone.

The Sword Master and the Prophet were not nearby, and there were no other monsters around. But Brook couldn't fly over to save him.

Because the Sword Master and the Prophet were still searching ahead. The Prophet even activated his Vision Technique to look into the distance, but still couldn't find Brook.

Two minutes passed before the Sword Master and the Prophet finally gave up and returned the way they had come.

Four minutes passed. The Sword Master and the Prophet passed by Yuan Bufan and returned to the orc camp.

That's it.

Brook flew over and quickly ran to Yuan Bufan's side.

Resurrection magic!

A holy white light enveloped Yuan Bufan for several seconds. Yuan Bufan, whose health had been reduced to zero, was instantly revived with full health!

"What happened?" Yuan Bufan stood up blankly.

"Brother Yuan, you're resurrected. Pick up the items on the ground first."

"Oh damn! He's really alive. Oh, all the things on the ground are my things." Yuan Bufan hurried to pick them up.

"Brother Yuan, how does death feel?" Brooke asked as he observed the situation around him.

"You've never died? Okay. That feeling... so cold. It was dark and cold, I couldn't see a thing, it was so uncomfortable. I was almost giving up, and suddenly a warm light enveloped me, and I was resurrected."

It’s dark and cold, and I can’t see a thing...So this is what death is like.

Before, Brook was lying on the ground with the resurrection ring on, and he could see the surrounding situation. Of course, that was not real death, but just a special ability of the resurrection ring to pretend death.

"How did you do it?...You have a resurrection ring! How is this possible! Could it really be the magic fountain of life? The magic fountain of life plus level 7 group healing?" Yuan Bufan had already picked up all the dropped items and started to guess randomly.

"Shh~ No matter what, this is my signature skill and I can't tell anyone else." Brook neither denied nor admitted it.

"Understood! I won't tell you. This kind of thing, even if I tell you, no one will believe it." Yuan Bufan suddenly slapped his thigh, "I'm quitting the team! The mission failed!"

"It's not a failure yet. I'm the only one in the team now. As long as I can complete the mission, you won't be considered a failure."

"So...what now?"

"Let's go pick up the items they dropped, and the mission compass. Come on, follow me."

Brook ran forward and soon came to the place where Qin Shan died. There were many items and potions on the ground, as well as a mission compass. Brook picked it up.

"Where is the Taurus hat?" Yuan Bufan asked.

"I don't know. Maybe he was wearing it, so it didn't explode. Or, it was picked up by a monster." Brook said.

Brook had previously used a few gems to lure Taylor, a rank 5 high-level monster, into the woods and slay him. Since they recognized gems, they naturally recognized equipment as well. Otherwise, how could the Blood War Chain drop when the Minotaur died?

Brook opened the mission compass map and took a look. The lower right corner of the Monster Wild Area was almost completely illuminated. This included the three-forked grassy area ahead and a small area to the left of the rock face. The mission compasses on Qinshan and Cullinan shared the same information.

"You still want to go over? That bush is too dangerous." Yuan Bufan said in surprise.

"I'm going to check. Wait here for me."

Since Xiaobai didn't sense any monsters, Brook dared to move forward boldly.

There was a pile of potions on the ground. This was Qin Hai's drop. There was no valuable equipment. Brook continued to move forward.

There is grass in front.

The level 6 Holy Beast baby, Qiankun Shenglong Beast, was the first to go in. Safe.

Brooke also walked in.

Control the guard to move forward to prevent the swordsman from running in and attacking.

Huh!! There's a scout guard on the ground? This is... a Warcraft-inserted one!

That's right, they will also use special items dropped by wild monsters.

Brooke immediately knocked out the scout guard.

He didn't know which monster had planted the scout guard, but Brook was afraid he'd been discovered. He had to leave quickly. But before that, he had to check the situation on the left rock wall passage. There was something he needed to confirm.

The baby Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast went directly out from the rock wall on the left.

Brooke can see the baby's vision.

The passageway, near the rock face, was littered with common equipment like potions, city replay stones, and a quest compass. But there were no vanity fragments. Sure enough, those vanity fragments had also been picked up by the monsters. There was no need to look for the rank 6 pills, gems, and hot-blooded equipment dropped by Chu Huaizhu and the others; they had surely been taken as well.

Turn your eyes to the left side of the passage, which is close to the river.

Brook's pupils suddenly contracted.

There are so many monsters! At least hundreds of them!

Just then, a winged monster turned into the bushes from the left and passed by the Qiankun Holy Dragon Beast.

It's the Dreadlord, Davenger!

Brook was about to teleport away when he suddenly lowered his head slightly and stopped moving.

"Master, run! Other powerful monsters are coming." Xiaobai quickly reminded. He could already sense the breath of monsters on the left side of the rock wall. He sensed a total of three powerful monsters.

Brook stood there motionless, head down, as if asleep.

"Owner!"

"Brooke!"

The other two monsters were about to come over. Seeing that things were not going well, Xiaobai made a quick decision and chopped Brook with an axe.

Brook was awakened and immediately activated the teleportation ring, teleporting back to the deserted alley in the city.

That was a close call! I was actually hypnotized just now.

The Dreadlord merely raised his hand, and Brook fell into a deep sleep. He could sense that if no external force awoken him, he would remain asleep for at least ten seconds. If he waited until the other demonic beasts arrived, Brook would be instantly killed, just like Cullinan.

Fortunately, Xiaobai came to his rescue and woke him up.

"Xiaobai, thank you very much."

"When we left, the Dreadlord stared at me." Xiaobai said.

"...You mean, the Dreadlord has discovered that you are no ordinary summoned beast? Well, next time we encounter it, we must be careful."

The Dreadlord may be more troublesome than the Swordmaster.

But what are those monsters doing? Are they ambushing the human monks?

It didn't seem likely. If they were ambushing human monks or attacking their camp, the monsters should have looked to the right. But they were all staring at the river below.

River? There's nothing there. Even river crabs rarely go there.

The compass on his body vibrated slightly, and Brooke saw that it was a message from Yuan Bufan. He had forgotten about him.

"Brooke! Are you okay?" Yuan Bufan asked.

"There are a lot of monsters in the passage on the left side of the grass. Don't come over, run!" Brook replied.

"What about you?"

So many monsters, too dangerous. Brooke wanted to give up on this mission. After all, the mission officer said that even if we only explored a portion of the area, we would be rewarded accordingly. He already had the mission compass, and while the evaluation wouldn't be high, he could return and report.

Brook was about to say that he had returned to the city. Suddenly, an idea struck him, and he changed his mind and said to Yuan Bufan:

"I'll be right there. We'll meet in the bushes over by the Blue Veined Golem."
