Just as the primary Mirage Beast flew out of its hiding place and rushed toward Xia Ruofei, Xia Ruofei immediately felt that the environment around him began to change a little bit.
The water in the creek turned into a shocking blood water, huge hailstones began to fall from the sky, and the mountains next to him became distorted. The originally peaceful environment was filled with flying sand and stones, as if the end of the world had come.
Xia Ruofei had been mentally prepared. He was not affected by the changes in the environment, and directly closed his eyes and took three steps to the right according to the planned route, then took five steps back, and then continued to take four steps to the right …
In the vision of the Mirage Beast, Xia Ruofei also strangely disappeared in front of it — at this time, the Mirage Beast had entered the edge of the formation, and Xia Ruofei hid in the depths of the formation. Under the effect of the formation, it naturally lost its target.
In fact, Xia Ruofei even had time to feel the power of the primary Mirage Beast's illusion.
Compared with the illusion of the intermediate Mirage Beast before, it was obvious which was more powerful.
Mid-level mirage beasts could arrange illusions in an instant, giving Xia Ruofei, who was in the middle of it, a feeling that in the blink of an eye, the surroundings had changed to another environment.
The illusion of the primary Mirage Beast still retained many characteristics of the original environment, such as the creek still existed, and other features of the surrounding landscape were only changed on the basis of the original.
Of course, this also looked very scary. If one was not mentally prepared and had never encountered a Mirage Beast, it was inevitable that he would be flustered when he suddenly fell into the illusion.
Xia Ruofei had already confronted the intermediate Mirage Beast head-on, so he was fully mentally prepared for the illusion built by the primary Mirage Beast. In contrast, he felt that the illusion of the primary Mirage Beast was still much less realistic.
After the primary Mirage Beast stepped into the formation, the trapping effect suddenly came into play. It not only lost its target, Xia Ruofei, but also fell into the fog. No matter whether it moved forward or backward, it was surrounded by white fog.
The Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword had also lost their target. The sword tips trembled slightly and floated in the place where the Mirage Beast had been hiding.
Although the entrapment effect of the Trap and Kill Array was similar to that of the Illusion Array, the basic principle was very different. Therefore, after the primary Sea Serpent Beast was trapped in the Array, it completely lost its way and began to rush left and right in the Array. It seemed to be fierce, but in fact, it was sinking deeper and deeper.
Although Xia Ruofei could no longer control the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword to attack the Sea Serpent Beasts, the Trap and Kill Array itself had strong offensive attributes, even more powerful than the Flying Sword attack.
Even though Xia Ruofei still fell into the illusion created by the Mirage Beast? But he could still use the array? Attack the primary Mirage Beast in the formation.
It was the kind of jet-black sharp light that had been used to deal with star beasts.
Xia Ruofei had already hidden in the safest Array Eye of the Array. He tried to find the trace of the Mirage Beast but to no avail. So he decisively formed a hand seal? Regardless of the cost, he activated the formation to launch an indiscriminate attack.
Streaks of black light appeared in every corner of the formation, like a deadly rainstorm. It raged through the entire formation.
The primary Mirage Beast's vision was blocked in the formation, plus the indiscriminate attack of the jet-black sharp light. It almost covered the whole corner. Even if it found something, it was very difficult to avoid it.
Unless it was very lucky and just hid in the Array Eye of the Array in the blind spot of the attack.
But if it wanted to just stay in the position of the Array Eye by recklessly rushing, how could the probability be compared with winning the lottery? It was not much higher.
Obviously, this primary Mirage Beast was not so lucky. At the same time, its strength was indeed a little weak. In the face of the overwhelming attack of the jet-black sharp light, it had almost no ability to resist.
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen jet-black sharp lights penetrated the primary Mirage Beast's body from all angles.
The primary Mirage Beast screamed. Not only did the dozens of transparent holes in its body that were pierced by the jet-black sharp lights begin to bleed. Its mouth, nose, ears, and other places suddenly spurted out a lot of blood.
Without any suspense, this primary Mirage Beast fell softly to the ground. After a while, there was no sound.
The illusion in front of Xia Ruofei faded quickly, and the surroundings became a familiar environment.
He waved his hand and took back the Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword. Then he walked a few steps to the place where the primary Mirage Beast died. He squatted in front of its body and observed it.
The primary Mirage Beast's body shape and appearance were basically the same as the intermediate Mirage Beast. If you didn't look carefully, you really couldn't see the difference between the two.
However, Xia Ruofei had just studied the body of the intermediate Mirage Beast. So when he compared the two? He still found a little difference — in the position between the eyes of the two Mirage Beasts, there was a tuft of cloud pattern hair. The Mirage Beast was basically snow-white, so this tuft of cloud pattern hair was particularly obvious. However, this tuft of hair of the primary Mirage Beast was black, while that of the intermediate Mirage Beast was yellow.
Xia Ruofei briefly studied it and symbolically tried to put the body of the Mirage Beast into the space. The result was naturally as expected, he couldn't put it in at all.
Then, Xia Ruofei got up and checked the surroundings again to make sure that there were no other Mirage Beasts. Then he thought about it and took back the Trap and Kill Array.
Obviously, the Trap and Kill Array was still useful to deal with the Mirage Beasts, and the efficiency was very high.
He just didn't know if it would be so useful when he encountered the intermediate Mirage Beast. After all, the illusion of the intermediate Mirage Beast was more powerful and had a wider range. Xia Ruofei wasn't sure that he could set up the Trap and Kill Array and lure the enemy in before the other party pulled him into the illusion.
In fact, the key to the matter was whether Xia Ruofei could find the traces of the Mirage Beast one step earlier. As long as he found it early enough, he was sure that he could kill the intermediate Mirage Beast in the array just like he dealt with the primary Mirage Beast.
It seemed that he still had to pay attention to the role of the Perceptual Mirror!
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but say in his heart: If only the Perceptual Mirror could be upgraded …
The Perceptual Mirror was undoubtedly very useful, but after reaching the third floor of the Trial Tower, the scope of the Perceptual Mirror was limited. Its detection function was limited to the field of vision, and the map display function could almost display the entire map of the small space on the first floor of the Trial Tower. However, on the third floor of the Trial Tower, the range was still so large. Compared to the vast third floor of the Trial Tower, the range of a dozen acres was too insignificant.
This drawback was already obvious on the second floor of the Trial Tower. Xia Ruofei could only run around like a headless fly and couldn't see the whole picture of the small space.
In addition, the detection function of the Perceptual Mirror didn't seem to be enough for the monsters on the third floor of the Trial Tower. It could only simply prompt him that a Mirage Beast had appeared in his field of vision, but it couldn't lock on the specific location or provide more information about the Mirage Beast.
In this way, although the Perceptual Mirror could still play a role, the help it could give Xia Ruofei was limited.
However, Xia Ruofei also knew that the Perceptive Mirror was a cheat-like treasure. Being able to obtain it was already a stroke of luck. If he wanted to level it up, it would naturally be extremely difficult. He could only see if there were any opportunities ahead.
However, at least for the current mission of killing the Mirage Beast, he couldn't count on it. He could only make do with it for now.
After Xia Ruofei put away the Trap and Kill Array, he chose a new direction, then took out the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and continued to fly close to the ground.
When Xia Ruofei flew past a mountain stream and directly arrived at the top of a small waterfall, a prompt finally appeared in the field of vision of the Perceptual Mirror: Intermediate Mirage Beast found.
It was still a simple sentence, without any other useful information, including the specific location of the Mirage Beast, the strength level of the Mirage Beast, its strengths and weaknesses, and so on.
Xia Ruofei still felt refreshed. This time, it was a genuine intermediate Mirage Beast!
It had been 40 minutes since he accepted the task, and 20 minutes had passed since he was lucky enough to kill the mid-level Sea Serpent Beast. In fact, it didn't take him too much time to kill the beginner Mirage Beast. The main reason was that there was no pattern to the distribution of these Mirage Beasts, so a lot of time was spent on searching.
If he wanted to break the record, he needed to kill thirty Mirage Beasts in four hours.
His companion, whose identity he still didn't know, had killed an intermediate Mirage Beast before Xia Ruofei, but there had been no movement until now. Obviously, the first kill was mostly due to luck.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't count his companion's contribution for the time being. In this case, killing thirty Mirage Beasts in four hours was still a very difficult task.
In addition, he also found a difference between the Mirage Beasts and the star beasts. That was, the Mirage Beasts didn't seem to like living in groups. They seemed to be more used to being alone. Therefore, using the previous method to attract a large number of Mirage Beasts and then using the array to kill them in one breath wouldn't work.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei cherished every opportunity to find an intermediate Mirage Beast very much.
He stood still and quickly extended his mental strength forward, searching inch by inch in the field of vision of the perceptual mirror, trying to find the traces of the intermediate Mirage Beast.
Of course, he didn't stay idle. He took out the materials for the arrangement of the array and began to arrange the trap and kill array in a relatively empty place on the side of the waterfall.
Xia Ruofei's mental strength exploration had no effect. The intermediate Mirage Beast was obviously better at hiding than the beginner Mirage Beast, and its mental strength was stronger. Therefore, Xia Ruofei had no way to find the obvious fluctuations of mental strength. His naked eyes also swept back and forth several times, but he didn't find the shadow of the intermediate Mirage Beast at all.
However, the arrangement of the array was very smooth. After a while, the trap and kill array was completed.
Xia Ruofei didn't dare to leave the range of the array this time. The last time he encountered the intermediate Mirage Beast, because he took a few steps out of the array, he suddenly fell into an illusion and could no longer return to the array. As a result, the trap and kill array that he had painstakingly arranged became a decoration.
Xia Ruofei stood in the array and had already simulated the further retreat route in his mind.
Then, he directly took out the Graceful Frost Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword, and used the sword skill and mental strength to control the two flying swords respectively, stabbing forward.
Only when the Mirage Beast appeared in the field of vision of the perceptual mirror would it react. The range of the perceptual mirror was slightly larger than the range of human vision, but it was almost a fan-shape of nearly 180 degrees. Therefore, Xia Ruofei decided to use the method that he had just used to deal with the beginner Mirage Beast — beating the grass to scare the snake.
However, when dealing with the beginner Mirage Beast, Xia Ruofei had a clear target. Now, he could only use the method of indiscriminate attack.
Although the fan-shaped area was relatively small, the farther away it was, the larger the area. Naturally, the Graceful Frost Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword couldn't cover all the areas. Therefore, Xia Ruofei could only try his luck and make the flying swords fly in a roundabout way as much as possible, which could greatly improve the efficiency.
The Graceful Frost Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword made a sharp whistling sound and stabbed toward the fan-shaped area in front of them. The grass, bushes, rocks and even water along the way could not form an effective obstacle to the flying swords. The two flying swords were like red-hot knives cutting through butter, unimpeded all the way.
Xia Ruofei stood in the array and stared at the fan-shaped area in front of him. He accurately controlled the two flying swords at the same time and swept them directly from near to far.
In the loud sound of the waterfall, grass clippings mixed with stone fragments flew up one after another. Some of the thinner trees also collapsed with a loud bang. The peaceful environment here suddenly became a mess.
Although the time to break the record was limited, Xia Ruofei also needed more actual combat to increase his understanding of the Mirage Beast, and he could also try more methods.
In theory, the beginner Mirage Beast should be easier to deal with, but he had a lot of experience in dealing with the beginner Mirage Beast, which could also be useful when dealing with the intermediate Mirage Beast.
So, Xia Ruofei stopped the flying swords and stepped on the grass in the west.
The Perceptual Mirror still did not provide the exact location of the beginner Mirage Beast, so Xia Ruofei still tried to find the beginner Mirage Beast with his spiritual force, and at the same time scanned around with his naked eye.
Soon, Xia Ruofei found a clue in his spiritual force exploration.
About thirty meters in front of him on the right, there was a relatively obvious spiritual force fluctuation.
Xia Ruofei suddenly felt refreshed, this was probably the beginner Mirage Beast.
Perhaps the intermediate Mirage Beast's spiritual force was very strong, so Xia Ruofei's spiritual force exploration could not find the existence of the other party, but the beginner Mirage Beast was relatively weak, so Xia Ruofei's spiritual force exploration played a role.
He pondered for a moment, pretending that he did not find anything, and began to arrange a trap and kill array in the area behind him.
Seven or eight minutes later, the trap and kill array was arranged.
During this process, Xia Ruofei also used his spiritual force to lock on the highly suspected beginner Mirage Beast.
The other party did not seem to find that its position had been exposed, so it was still waiting for Xia Ruofei to step into the trap.
It seemed that the Mirage Beast was used to this mode of attack, and its patience was also very good.
After Xia Ruofei arranged the trap and kill array, he first stepped back a few steps, completely hiding in the range of the array, and then quietly summoned the Curved Frost Flying Sword and the Blue Traveling Immortal Sword.
