Xia Ruofei quickly put away the array formation materials. Then, he summoned the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and turned back in the direction he had come from.
The forest here was very dense. An ordinary person would have lost their way long ago. However, a cultivator like Xia Ruofei had a very strong memory. Furthermore, he had the help of powerful mental strength. In addition, the place where he had encountered the Star Beast was not far in a straight line. Therefore, after a while, Xia Ruofei quietly found his way to the vicinity.
He did not return to his original spot immediately. Instead, he went to a place about two hundred meters away. He carefully used his mental strength to investigate the area before he began to set up the array formation.
Although this Trap and Kill Array was not his original creation, it was indeed something that had not been used by anyone before. It could be said that it was improved and combined on the basis of his predecessors. In fact, he was not very sure about the specific effects.
However, based on his understanding of array formations, he more or less had a rough idea of the power of this Trap and Kill Array.
He felt that as long as he did not encounter a high-level Star Beast or dozens or even hundreds of mid-level Star Beasts at once, this Trap and Kill Array would not be easily broken.
Xia Ruofei skillfully set up the array formation. Then, he quietly hid in the forest. He maintained his mental strength in a state of maximum range and carefully observed the situation around him.
In fact, Xia Ruofei was also gambling. He was gambling that the mid-level Star Beast that had escaped would call for reinforcements and come back for revenge.
If that mid-level Star Beast had escaped, then Xia Ruofei would be wasting his time waiting here.
After all, if he wanted to break the record, he had to race against time.
However, Xia Ruofei still believed in his judgment. Since this mid-level Star Beast knew to run away when it could not defeat him, it obviously had a relatively high IQ. Therefore, it was reasonable for it to call for reinforcements to seek revenge. After all, from the contact just now, this mid-level Star Beast was not timid. It could even use its body to resist the flying sword. It was unlikely that it would be scared to the point of fleeing and never coming back.
However, judgment was judgment. As time passed, Xia Ruofei could not help but feel anxious.
Fortunately, he didn't have to wait too long. After lurking in the jungle for about ten minutes, there was movement at the edge of his psychic detection range.
Xia Ruofei was instantly energized. He continued to spread his mental strength to the maximum range, focusing on the direction where the movement had come from.
Very soon, Xia Ruofei detected with his Mind Power that the escaping Star Beast had reappeared within the range of his Mind Power. Behind this Star Beast were 15 to 16 other Star Beasts.
Xia Ruofei's eyes lit up. After he scanned the area with his Mind Power, dense information appeared in the Perceptive Mirror's field of vision. He glanced over and didn't find any information about high-level star beasts. He was delighted.
Including the Star Beast that had escaped earlier, there were a total of 16 mid-grade Star Beasts.
If Xia Ruofei had not prepared the Confinement Killing Array in advance, he would have fled without hesitation when faced with such a lineup.
However, now, the array that was quietly hidden in the jungle behind him gave him a lot of confidence.
The only problem now was how to lure all 16 mid-grade Star Beasts into the trap and ensure his own safety. It should be known that if 16 extremely fast mid-grade Star Beasts swarmed and attacked together, Xia Ruofei would not even have the ability to defend himself.
If he didn't have the Spiritual Map Scroll, it would be difficult for him to even escape.
Xia Ruofei already had a plan in mind. He did not rush forward rashly.
Firstly, he was too far away from the array, and his safety could not be guaranteed.
Secondly, he had already discovered that the intelligence of these Star Beasts was relatively high. They were even much higher than the humanoid puppets on the first floor of the Tower of Trials. If he knew that a large wave of Star Beasts had appeared and did not escape, but instead went forward to meet them, this kind of abnormal behavior might arouse the Star Beasts' vigilance.
In addition, Xia Ruofei was not worried that the Star Beasts would leave so easily. That escaped Star Beast had brought so many reinforcements and created such a big lineup. It was obvious that it would not give up until it found him. Furthermore, according to common sense, Xia Ruofei could not stay in the same place forever. Therefore, he guessed that these Star Beasts would definitely spread out to search. Once they found him, they would immediately call for their companions to surround him. His current position was definitely within the Star Beasts' search range.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei judged that waiting for the exhausted Star Beasts was the best choice.
He quietly hid in the forest, his spiritual power enveloping the group of Star Beasts.
To be honest, seeing such a large group of Star Beasts slowly approaching him, Xia Ruofei felt a bit of pressure in his heart. However, he was more excited. This feeling was very similar to when he was serving in the army. Through the scope of his sniper rifle, he saw a small group of enemy troops walking step by step into an encirclement. Although his heartbeat would more or less speed up, it was more like his blood was boiling. At the same time, he could still maintain absolute calmness. His finger on the trigger did not move at all.
Right now, Xia Ruofei was like this. He crouched down and completely hid himself in the tall grass. He mainly relied on his spiritual power to investigate, so he did not need to worry about whether his vision was blocked.
In fact, his spiritual power was almost 360 degrees without any blind spots. The range of his vision was much larger than using his naked eyes. It was also less likely for him to make mistakes.
The sixteen Star Beasts quickly arrived at the place where Xia Ruofei had fought with the Star Beasts.
They were not surprised that they did not find any trace of Xia Ruofei. Instead, they quickly spread out in formation and began to search forward in a fan shape. It looked like they were well-trained.
However, these Star Beasts did not expect that their every move was completely under Xia Ruofei's surveillance. They were also walking step by step into the trap that Xia Ruofei had meticulously set up.
As these Star Beasts got closer and closer to Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei's expression became more and more serious. He was already holding his breath, not daring to relax for a moment as he used his spiritual power to detect the Star Beasts' positions.
When the Star Beast that was searching in the direction of Xia Ruofei's hiding spot was still more than a hundred meters away from Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei pretended to have suddenly discovered the Star Beast.
Of course, he did not panic to the point of directly standing up and running away. As the saying went, going too far was as bad as not going far enough.
Xia Ruofei only deliberately made a little noise, then crouched down and fled in the direction of the formation.
Although the commotion wasn't big, the slight movement of the grass immediately alerted the star beast.
Its sharp eyes swept over and immediately discovered Xia Ruofei, who was rapidly fleeing in the grass.
The Star Beast immediately stomped its hind legs, and its body drew a line like a phantom as it chased after Xia Ruofei.
At the same time, it let out a sharp howl. The Star Beasts that were searching in the vicinity immediately stopped and surrounded Xia Ruofei's position.
After Xia Ruofei made the noise, he did not stop at all. Without hesitation, he flew rapidly in the direction of the formation.
After being discovered by the Star Beast, he simply did not bother to hide his figure. He straightened his body and stepped on the Qu Shuang Flying Sword, flying close to the ground.
In terms of absolute speed, Xia Ruofei was definitely not as good as the Star Beast, but if he flew on the sword, even if the Star Beast was extremely fast, it could not catch up with him for a while.
Therefore, soon, a large group of Star Beasts followed behind Xia Ruofei. Everyone exerted their speed to the extreme. One chased while the other fled. The short distance between Xia Ruofei and the formation was almost crossed in the blink of an eye.
After Xia Ruofei passed through the formation, he did not hesitate to make a few gestures. Three seals with mysterious patterns condensed by mental power escaped into the grass. The formation that had been set up long ago was activated in an instant.
These 16 Star Beasts did not notice at all and rushed into the range of the formation.
In fact, Xia Ruofei had already stopped at this time. He turned around and looked at the aggressive Star Beasts that were chasing after him.
However, as soon as these Star Beasts entered the formation, they immediately lost their target. Their front, back, left, and right suddenly turned white. The visibility was even less than one meter. There was thick white fog all around them.
These Star Beasts had probably never seen the formation of human cultivators before. All of a sudden, they were all like headless flies running in circles in the formation.
Star Beasts were also very hot-tempered. After they found that they were trapped, they also launched their strongest attacks to the surroundings.
However, this Trap and Kill Formation obviously could not be destroyed by brute force. In fact, most of the attacks of the Star Beasts fell on empty space. Only a few attacks hit the position of the formation talisman. Also, because the formation was interconnected, such attacks were equivalent to the entire formation evenly. It was not painful at all.
Some Star Beasts even attacked their companions because they could not see the surroundings at all. In an instant, 3 Star Beasts were accidentally injured by their companions and roared angrily.
This was also the reason why Xia Ruofei was relieved when he detected that there were no advanced Star Beasts among the Star Beasts.
If the random attacks of the advanced Star Beasts hit the key parts of the formation, there was a certain probability of causing damage to the formation. However, there was no need to worry about this group of intermediate Star Beasts at all. If this level of attack fell on Xia Ruofei, it might break his bones and tendons, but if it fell on the formation, the seemingly fierce attacks were no different from scratching an itch after being shared by the entire formation.
If he was not in a hurry, Xia Ruofei could totally watch the show from the side calmly.
However, if he wanted to break the record, he naturally needed to end the battle quickly. Therefore, just trapping these Star Beasts here was meaningless.
In addition to trapping the enemy, the Trap and Kill Formation naturally had a killing move.
Xia Ruofei did not delay. After he confirmed that all 16 Star Beasts were in the trap, he immediately made a gesture and threw a few seals into the center of the formation.
The formation, which was originally just a dense fog, suddenly underwent a drastic change after being activated by the seals.
