Although the two puppets were definitely stronger than Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei was flying on his sword while they were on the ground. Naturally, they could not catch up to him.
The two puppets roared angrily and soon, the other puppets were also alerted. Furthermore, Xia Ruofei did not deliberately hide his tracks this time, so the puppets quickly discovered him.
After a while, Xia Ruofei was followed by a huge tail.
Xia Ruofei saw through the Sensory Mirror that the puppets behind him were all in the middle stage and later stage of the Golden Elixir stage. The weaker ones were basically all killed by him. He could not help but feel a little scared.
Fortunately, through the Sensory Mirror, he knew that he had already completed the mission of the first level of the Tower of Trials. The passage to the second level was already open. As long as he rushed over, he could enter the second level. These puppets would naturally not be able to do anything to him.
Xia Ruofei flew on his sword very quickly. Although there were some puppets in front of him, he was always releasing his spiritual energy. Therefore, he was always able to nimbly avoid them in advance.
Although he had to take a detour, he was able to avoid direct contact with the other puppets.
After a while, Xia Ruofei had already bypassed Zhen Yang Temple.
He even took the time to take a look inside and found that there was no one inside. Not only did he not see Zhen Yang, even the child Qing Feng was nowhere to be found.
Xia Ruofei flew past on his Qu Shuang Flying Sword and quickly saw the big tree.
At this time, a door of light had already appeared on the trunk of the big tree. It was very similar to the door of light that Xia Ruofei and the rest entered the Mystic Realm on the Moon.
Xia Ruofei knew that this must be the entrance to the second level. He could not help but feel happy.
At this time, a violent roar suddenly came from the direction of the mini town. Following that, a terrifying aura quickly approached the entrance to the second level.
Xia Ruofei's expression turned solemn. He hurriedly urged his sword art and sped up a bit, rushing towards the light curtain door on the trunk of the tree.
Xia Ruofei was like a swallow flying through the forest. Stepping on the flying sword, he charged through the door of the light screen. The moment he entered the entrance of the second floor, Xia Ruofei put away the Qu Shuang flying sword.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the Nascent Soul stage puppet wearing a coarse short-sleeved shirt was charging towards him with a face full of rage.
Obviously, this Nascent Soul Stage old man puppet had already discovered that the Spirit Map Scroll had been stolen, and the moment it came out, it discovered that Xia Ruofei was the person they wanted to kill, so it was even more shocked and angry.
Xia Ruofei even saw the old man waving the iron pestle in his hand and smashing it fiercely at the big tree.
But this was obviously not a real tree. As the entrance to the second level of the Training Tower, the big tree obviously could not be destroyed so easily. So before the old man puppet's iron pestle touched the big tree, a layer of light film appeared around the big tree and bounced the iron pestle back.
Following that, Xia Ruofei felt that the stars in front of his eyes had changed and he had directly arrived at another place.
He secretly exclaimed that he was lucky. If he was half a second later, he definitely would not have been able to escape.
The old man puppet's angry attack was unimaginably powerful. If Xia Ruofei had not entered the second level of the Training Tower, he was afraid that he would not have been able to avoid it. And if the iron pestle touched him even a little bit, his bones would definitely be broken.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei also felt a trace of fear. In the final stage of the mission, he did not have much time to hide his whereabouts. If this Nascent Soul stage old man puppet had discovered him just a little bit earlier, he would not have survived.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruofei could not help but worry about the safety of the other exploration team members, especially Ling Qingxue.
Although Taoist Zhen Yang said that Ling Qingxue was safe, that was only limited to when Xia Ruofei asked. She was temporarily safe. If Ling Qingxue was faced with the same mission on the first level of the Training Tower, it would not be so easy to successfully complete it. And if there was a mistake, her life could be in danger.
Xia Ruofei could only suppress the worry in his heart. He had to deal with the current situation first and do his best to go up. Maybe he would meet Ling Qingxue and the others.
His most pressing thought was naturally to meet up with Ling Qingxue.
In that case, with the Spiritual Map Scroll, he could at least guarantee Ling Qingxue's safety.
Now, Xia Ruofei was already on the second level of the Training Tower. Considering the difficulty of the first level was already so high, he naturally did not dare to let his guard down. He also did not dare to be distracted at a time like this. Therefore, he quickly got rid of all distracting thoughts and carefully observed his surroundings.
Xia Ruofei quickly realized that he was in a dense forest. He habitually released his mental strength to investigate, but he realized that his mental strength was suppressed quite a bit here.
In the first level of the Training Tower, his mental strength's range was basically the same as the outside world. It could almost cover the entire first level of the Training Tower.
However, after reaching the second level, he realized that even if he used all his mental strength, his mental strength could only extend to about two kilometers. This was much less than the range of his mental strength under normal circumstances.
In addition, Xia Ruofei was surprised to find that the second level of the Training Tower was much larger than he had imagined.
It was at least more than two kilometers in radius. This was because even when his mental strength was extended to the maximum, it still could not reach the boundary of the Training Tower.
From the outside, the first level of the Training Tower should be the largest. The higher you went, the smaller the area.
In theory, the second level's area should be smaller than the first level.
However, just the area that Xia Ruofei's mental strength could explore was much larger than the first level of the Training Tower.
Xia Ruofei carefully took out the Qu Shuang Flying Sword. Then, he stepped on the flying sword and flew up. He wanted to go up high to see how big the second level of the Training Tower was.
Once he activated the sword technique, Xia Ruofei realized that flying on the sword was more difficult than when he was on the first level.
Although it was not to the extent of being imprisoned on the ground, the consumption of mental strength and Primordial Energy was several times higher than when he was on the first level.
Furthermore, after flying, it was much harder to control the flying sword.
It was as if the sword had suddenly become several times heavier. For a moment, Xia Ruofei was not used to it. Even his flying posture became much clumsier.
The forest was almost completely covered by tall trees and visibility was very low. Xia Ruofei flew on the sword to the top of a tree and looked around. He realized that everywhere he looked, there was such a dense forest. It was as if there was no end to it.
Xia Ruofei knew that the Training Tower must have a boundary. However, the area was so large that he could not see where the boundary was. Naturally, he did not know which direction to go.
However, he was certain that the space on the second level of the Training Tower was much larger than he had expected.
Clearly, although the Training Tower was divided into many levels, they might not be in the same space. The size of each level that he saw from the outside was actually a miscalculation.
Xia Ruofei lowered the flying sword and returned to the ground.
For some reason, he felt uneasy in midair. It was as if something dangerous was spying on him from above.
Xia Ruofei had experienced this feeling a few times in his military career. Reality proved that his senses were quite sharp. During those times, Xia Ruofei had faced a life and death crisis. One of those times was when Huzi had sacrificed himself.
Thus, when he felt the warning, Xia Ruofei immediately returned to the ground and was on high alert.
At this moment, a voice directly transmitted into Xia Ruofei's mind. "Mission on the second level of the Training Tower: Kill 100 mid-level star beasts. Mission Description: There are 510 star beasts on the second level. There are 300 low-level star beasts, 200 mid-level star beasts, and 10 high-level star beasts. The low-level star beasts are equivalent to a human cultivator in the Qi Condensation Stage. Mid-level star beasts are equivalent to a Golden Core Stage cultivator. High-level star beasts are equivalent to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator. The current record for a Golden Core Stage cultivator to pass the second level of the Training Tower is four hours. "
Xia Ruofei could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.
This time, the Training Tower's mission was much more straightforward. It directly transmitted the mission requirements to his mind. There was no other story or plot arrangement.
At the same time, Xia Ruofei was full of admiration for the almighty cultivator who had set up this Training Tower. It was obvious that this almighty cultivator's cultivation had reached a level that Xia Ruofei could not imagine.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was also a little curious and doubtful. He did not know what a star beast was. In his mind, there were many cultivation manuals that came directly from the inheritance jade talisman. However, there were no records of star beasts in these manuals.
What on earth was this thing? Xia Ruofei muttered to himself.
After the mysterious voice transmitted the message to Xia Ruofei, a mission progress window appeared in Xia Ruofei's Sensory Mirror. It showed 0/100. At the same time, a countdown appeared. It was starting from four hours.
Xia Ruofei was also very curious about this star beast.
Of course, he soon got the answer. As soon as he received the mission, his spiritual power sensed something approaching him from about two kilometers away.
Xia Ruofei used his spiritual power to investigate and saw that this monster looked a little like a badger on Earth. However, its whole body was covered with hard scales and there was a horn on its head. This monster's eyes were slightly squinted. When it occasionally opened its eyes, it could be seen that there was starlight flowing in its eyes. It was as if there was a bright galaxy in its eyes.
Just as Xia Ruofei's spiritual power discovered this monster, a line of words appeared in his Sensory Mirror. It was a beginner star beast, equivalent to the third level of the Qi Refining stage.
Seeing this, Xia Ruofei was immediately energized. He knew that this was a star beast.
In Xia Ruofei's eyes, a third level of the Qi Refining stage was naturally very weak. However, Xia Ruofei did not dare to let down his guard.
He sensed that this beginner star beast was running straight towards him. His expression suddenly became serious and he began to be on full alert.
It was reasonable to say that a monster with the strength of the Qi Refining stage would not attract Xia Ruofei's attention. However, he knew nothing about the second floor of the trial tower. Moreover, he did not know if his strength would be suppressed. In addition, there were 10 star beasts equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage cultivators. It was unknown whether they would appear at any time.
Moreover, when Xia Ruofei flew to the top of the tree on his sword, he felt a dangerous aura. It was very likely that this aura came from the star beast. As for what level the star beast was, Xia Ruofei did not know.
He used the advantage of his spiritual power to investigate and carefully moved his body, hoping that he would not encounter the star beast head-on.
However, Xia Ruofei found that as long as he changed his position, the star beast would immediately change its direction accordingly. It was always approaching Xia Ruofei. This made Xia Ruofei feel even more vigilant.
Could it be that this star beast's perception was very sharp? To be able to lock onto a target from such a long distance, this was no longer something that a Qi Refining stage cultivator could do, but a star beast could.
After Xia Ruofei tried a few times, he simply gave up on dodging. Anyway, he could not avoid it. It was just a star beast with the strength of the Qi Refining stage. He might as well face it head-on.
After making up his mind, Xia Ruofei moved towards the star beast.
After a while, the star beast covered in scales appeared in front of Xia Ruofei.
After the star beast saw Xia Ruofei, it did not immediately rush to attack. Instead, it stood in place and stared at Xia Ruofei with its eyes that were filled with flowing light.
Xia Ruofei did not rush forward. He just stood in place quietly. However, he had already taken out the Curved Frost Flying Sword. It was now floating beside him. The tip of the sword was trembling slightly. It was facing the star beast, ready to launch a fierce attack at any time.
After a few seconds, the star beast took a few steps forward.
Xia Ruofei immediately became vigilant. He controlled the Curved Frost Flying Sword and was about to stab forward.
At this time, the star beast that was about five meters away from Xia Ruofei stopped again. It opened its mouth and spat out a bead. Then, it used its long mouth to push the bead in Xia Ruofei's direction.
Xia Ruofei could not help but be stunned. What kind of rhythm was this?
Before he could react, the Star Beast had already turned around and galloped into the forest.
Xia Ruofei hesitated for a moment. He did not control the Curved Frost Flying Sword to chase after it. In any case, his mission was to kill a mid-level star beast. This was only a low-level star beast. Killing it would not help the mission at all.
Moreover, this star beast's appearance was a bit strange. Now that it had left on its own, Xia Ruofei naturally would not act rashly.
The star beast quickly disappeared from the range of Xia Ruofei's spiritual power perception.
This made Xia Ruofei even more fearful. It was only a beginner astral beast, but its speed was already so fast. Wouldn't a mid-level astral beast with the strength of a Golden Core stage astral beast be even faster?
In this way, it would be difficult to rely on the Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Green Touring Immortal Sword to sneak attack and kill the mid-level star beast.
Xia Ruofei looked at the bead left behind by the star beast and walked forward carefully.
The star beast's body language was very obvious. It was asking Xia Ruofei to take the bead. It seemed that it was not here to attack Xia Ruofei. Instead, it was here to deliver something.
However, the star beast was Xia Ruofei's main opponent on the second floor of the Tower of Trials. Would the thing it delivered be dangerous?
If this was a trap, and Xia Ruofei rashly went forward and got ambushed by the bead, it would really be a big joke.
Xia Ruofei tried to use the Perceptive Mirror to check the situation of the bead. He did not expect that when the Perceptive Mirror scanned it, a line of information would immediately appear in Xia Ruofei's vision.
