Finally, after the flame flickered, the Curved Frost Flying Sword found a gap and accurately cut through the star beast's neck.
However, this star beast's neck was also protected by thick scales. Although the Curved Frost Flying Sword was very sharp, it still only left a small wound on the star beast's body. It didn't even bleed much.
Xia Ruofei was already mentally prepared for the rough skin and thick flesh of the star beast, so he was not discouraged.
On the other hand, the star beast became more irritable after being injured, and it roared again and again.
Xia Ruofei flexibly controlled the two flying swords and the flame while he hid in the periphery to deal with the star beast. The star beast wanted to break through and directly attack Xia Ruofei several times, but it was still a little afraid of the flame. In addition, the two flying swords' attack was very fierce, and the defense was almost watertight, so the star beast couldn't find a chance for a while, so it was even angrier.
Xia Ruofei became more and more stable. Not long after, he left a few more wounds on the star beast.
In fact, Xia Ruofei even had the opportunity to kill this star beast directly, but he didn't do so because this forest was too big. He wandered around for a long time before finding a star beast, and it was not easy to kill a star beast with rough skin and thick flesh. According to this efficiency, it was absolutely impossible to break the record in the remaining time.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei also deliberately held back. He wanted to replicate the successful experience of the last time and let the star beast run away, then he would call his companions to take revenge.
This was the fastest way Xia Ruofei could think of to complete the task at present, and only in this way could the effect of the array be maximized.
The development of the matter was also moving in the direction Xia Ruofei expected — the star beast gradually calmed down after attacking for a long time without success. It began to realize that it was in danger because the flying swords almost pierced its vital parts twice. In addition, the seemingly ordinary flame also made it scared.
Therefore, after a stalemate for more than ten minutes, the star beast finally made the same choice as the previous star beast. It roared unwillingly, then turned around and ran.
Xia Ruofei pretended to chase for a while. The star beast was determined to escape, so it also exerted its speed to the extreme, disappearing into the dense forest in the blink of an eye.
Xia Ruofei was just pretending and didn't really want to chase after it to end its life.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei soon returned and skillfully set up the array at the place where the battle took place.
Next, he just had to wait.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't stay in place and continued to explore in several other directions — anyway, as long as it was within the range of his mental power, he would be able to discover it immediately if the star beasts attacked him.............. Time was a little tight, and he had to seize every second.......... It would be best if he could set up the traps seamlessly and directly wait to harvest the star beasts' lives.
However, the forest was indeed very large, and the density of star beasts was obviously not high. Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't see any other star beasts after looking around.
Only when the array was almost out of the range of Xia Ruofei's mental power perception did he turn around and walk back.
Fortunately, the star beast that escaped didn't make Xia Ruofei wait for too long — perhaps the star beasts had a special way of communicating with each other. Xia Ruofei searched in the forest for a long time but couldn't find a single star beast. The star beast that escaped just now only spent about ten minutes or so to come back with a total of twenty star beasts.
Xia Ruofei had already returned to the array at this time and was hiding behind a huge rock.
His mental power sensed that the star beast that escaped just now was rushing back with its companions to seek revenge. He was instantly energized. He directly stood up from behind the rock and went forward to greet them.
Soon, the star beasts also discovered Xia Ruofei's figure. They instantly let out fierce roars and suddenly sped up. They fanned out and surrounded Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei didn't panic. He even had time to confirm the number of star beasts in this batch and whether there were any terrifying high-level star beasts among them.
Soon, he confirmed that this batch of star beasts, including the one that escaped just now, had a total of twenty-one star beasts. Moreover, all of them were mid-level star beasts.
Xia Ruofei was instantly relieved. Then, he turned around and fled into the forest.
How could the star beasts let Xia Ruofei go so easily? Therefore, they all sped up and chased after Xia Ruofei.
Thus, the previous scene played out again.
The twenty-one star beasts all plunged into the range of the Trap and Kill Array. Suddenly, their vision was blocked by the fog that suddenly appeared, and they instantly became twenty-one headless flies.
Xia Ruofei appeared from the forest. He could easily sense the exact positions of the twenty-one star beasts in the array. A fierce look flashed across his eyes.
This time, he didn't hesitate at all. Those star beasts hadn't even started to try to break the array by force when he had already formed a hand seal and directly launched an attack on them. Moreover, he didn't want to save spirit stones at all. He directly adjusted the array's attack to the maximum — everything was to buy as much time as possible.
Suddenly, countless black rays of light appeared within the range of the array. They were densely packed and almost filled the entire space of the array.
These black rays of light seemed to have a life of their own. As soon as they appeared, they each found their target. Their speed suddenly increased, and they directly attacked the star beasts that couldn't see anything for the time being.
Puchi, puchi sounds could be heard incessantly. In the blink of an eye, the twenty-one star beasts were all hit by the black rays of light.
Instantly, flames lit up all over the array. These majestic star beasts were now in a very sorry state.
They had also reached the end of their lives. Not long after, the last star beast stopped wailing. It retreated a few times and twitched a few times. Then, it completely stopped breathing.
Xia Ruofei didn't need to confirm whether the star beasts were dead or alive. This was because he could see through the Sensory Mirror that his mission progress had been updated. It was now 37/100.
Previously, it was 16/100. Now, it was 37/100. This meant that he had killed another twenty-one star beasts.
In other words, none of the twenty-one star beasts were lucky enough to survive. They were all killed by the Trap and Kill Array.
Xia Ruofei only gave himself half a minute to enjoy this joy.
Then, he quickly removed the array and put away all the array materials. After casually throwing them into the Ring-Tu space, Xia Ruofei continued to go deep into the forest to find new targets.
Xia Ruofei realized that this method was quite useful. The efficiency of killing star beasts had also increased by a lot.
In the following time, Xia Ruofei pushed himself to the limit. Soon, he repeated the same method and killed two batches of forty-three mid-level star beasts.
This way, his mission progress had reached 80/100.
If he wanted to break the record, he still had about thirty minutes left. He had to kill twenty mid-level star beasts within half an hour. Otherwise, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Actually, Xia Ruofei was still very confident at this moment. This was because he had encountered more than twenty mid-level star beasts in the last few batches.
Therefore, as long as he could successfully find another mid-level star beast, use the same trick again, and set up an array after defeating it. Then, he would wait for it to call for reinforcements. There was a high chance that he could kill it in one go.
Xia Ruofei continued to search in the forest. He estimated that he had walked more than two hundred kilometers since he arrived at the second level of the Tower of Trials. Obviously, this forest was quite big. It was so big that it was beyond Xia Ruofei's imagination.
Xia Ruofei continued to search forward while letting his imagination run wild. He was naturally most worried about Ling Qingxue.
After all, Ling Qingxue's combat experience was close to zero. Moreover, danger lurked everywhere in the Tower of Trials.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei heard a creaking sound coming from the right in front of him …
He immediately stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of the sound.
At this moment, Xia Ruofei no longer had any wild thoughts. His energy could be said to be highly focused. This was because he had been maintaining the state of spreading out his spiritual power to investigate. However, he didn't find anything unusual within the range of his spiritual power. The sound came from a distance of about a hundred meters at most. The range of his spiritual power was much larger than this. What exactly was it? How could it avoid the detection of his spiritual power?
Xia Ruofei had too many questions in his mind. However, he also knew that this wasn't the time to get to the bottom of it. The most important thing now was to find the source of the sound and confirm whether it was safe.
Xia Ruofei's expression was solemn. His eyes were fixed on the direction where the sound came from. Step by step, he moved forward to explore the right.
At this moment, another creaking sound was clearly heard by Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger. His hair stood on end.
Xia Ruofei was very confident in his sixth sense. He stopped in his tracks at the first moment, and then decisively retreated.
However, just as Xia Ruofei was retreating step by step, intending to leave this place, a roar suddenly came from the direction of the voice.
Xia Ruofei felt as if his heart had been stepped on just by hearing this sound. He didn't dare to look back. As he ran, he summoned the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and wanted to escape on it.
He didn't know what was in the forest, but his sixth sense told him that it was an extremely dangerous thing.
As expected, Xia Ruofei had just stepped onto the Qu Shuang Flying Sword when he heard the creaking sound, accompanied by the sound of branches being snapped.
