Bassoon stood in the middle of the formation in a daze. The moment the Thousand Illusion Formation was activated, Bassoon suddenly felt his vision darken. The originally clear sky suddenly turned pitch black.
Bassoon screamed in fright.
It was truly pitch black. Bassoon stretched his hand out in front of his eyes, but he couldn't see anything at all.
Bassoon thought that he had gone blind and screamed in fright, "Master, spare me! Master, spare me! I don't want to be blind … "
As soon as he said that, the environment in front of him changed again.
Bassoon found himself standing under the bright sun with green grass beneath his feet. He could even smell the fragrance of the grass. Everything was so peaceful and warm.
A few seconds later, Bassoon felt his vision blur and the environment changed again. This time, it was a world of ice and snow. He was only wearing a single layer of clothing. He was so cold that he shivered and his teeth chattered.
In just a short while, his eyebrows were covered in ice. His body shivered and curled into a ball. He was afraid that he would freeze to death if he stayed here any longer.
Fortunately, this world of ice and snow only lasted for a while. Not long after, he was shocked to find that the endless ice field had turned into a tropical forest in an instant. There was even a hot spring in the forest, gurgling water and steaming hot steam.
This tropical forest environment lasted for more than ten seconds before a new environment appeared …
Bassoon was completely dumbfounded. How could the environment change like this? It was like playing a movie.
And how could a movie be so realistic? This was simply immersive. Those so-called 3D and 4D movies simply couldn't match up to this.
Bassoon didn't know what was going on, but he knew that it definitely had something to do with Xia Ruofei. Therefore, no matter how painful and panicked he was, he only dared to scream and didn't dare to curse.
To an ordinary person, this was indeed an unbearable torture.
After experiencing more than ten scenes, just as Bassoon's mind was about to collapse, everything finally came to an end.
Bassoon felt his vision blur, and he returned to his original environment. Not far from him stood Xia Ruofei with a calm expression. The bright sunlight shone on him, making him feel exceptionally warm.
Although he was just standing there, almost motionless, it was as if he had run a ten-kilometer cross-country with weights. His whole body was drenched in sweat, as if he had just been fished out of the water.
Xia Ruofei waved his hand at Bassoon, who immediately felt as if he had been pardoned. He jogged over to Xia Ruofei and weakly said, "Master, what are your orders?"
Xia Ruofei said faintly, "Your mission is basically complete. There's only one thing left. I want you to tell me in detail what happened just now. Don't leave out any details!"
A trace of fear flashed in Bassoon's eyes. What he had just experienced was like a nightmare. He couldn't help but tremble as he recalled it.
However, since Xia Ruofei had made a request, he absolutely did not dare to disobey. He quickly nodded and said, "Yes! Master! This subordinate just … "
Bassoon suppressed his fear and described the scene in detail to Xia Ruofei.
At the end, Bassoon said, "Master, that's the general situation. If there's anything else you want to know, feel free to ask!"
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Well done! Bassoon, you can go back now. Of course, if you want to stay here, that's fine. After all, you've helped me a lot, so it's not impossible to set you free. If you go back, I'll get Xia Qing to give you 100 points. "
A trace of struggle flashed in Bassoon's eyes. He had been locked up in the Ring-Tu space and had been doing manual labor every day for two years. It was impossible for him not to want freedom.
However, he was also a top assassin. Although Xia Ruofei's tone was calm, he could hear a trace of killing intent in it.
Therefore, Bassoon only hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, I'm willing to go back and serve you for life! It's this subordinate's honor! "
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Xia Ruofei's eyes. He nodded and said, "Good. Since you've chosen to go back, I'll send you back. Don't worry, Xia Qing will immediately honor the 100 points I promised you. "
If Bassoon had chosen freedom, Xia Ruofei wouldn't have killed him and would have kept his promise to let Bassoon stay here.
However, Bassoon's fate would have been even more tragic.
This was because this place was essentially the same as the Ring-Tu space. They were both small spaces. If Bassoon stayed here, it would be impossible for him to return to the secular world.
Moreover, this was a small trial space. There were various levels of Mirage Beasts in this space. Bassoon was an ordinary person and would definitely die if he encountered one.
Even if his luck was heaven-defying and he didn't encounter any Mirage Beasts, he would soon starve to death in such a small space.
If he returned to the Ring-Tu space, although he would lose his freedom and would have to work every day, at least his life wouldn't be threatened. Even if life was difficult, he would still be able to survive.
Xia Ruofei also wanted to test Bassoon.
Fortunately, Bassoon was tactful and didn't know that he had saved his life.
After listening to Xia Ruofei's words, Bassoon quickly said, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master! "
Bassoon had mixed feelings at this moment. 100 points were quite precious in the eyes of the free labor in the Ring-Tu space. However, when he thought of the terrifying scene he had just experienced, he felt that 100 points didn't seem to be much.
If he had known in advance, Bassoon felt that he definitely wouldn't have experienced such a terrifying scene for 100 points.
Of course, he didn't have a choice.
Therefore, he was very happy to earn 100 points.
With so many points, he would be able to live a carefree life for a very long time.
Even when he didn't feel like working, he could use the points to exchange for a day or two of rest.
However, using points to exchange for rest was very expensive. Generally speaking, they weren't willing to be so extravagant. Although working was tiring, they would get used to it. Points could be exchanged for a lot of good things, so how could they casually spend them?
Xia Ruofei waved his hand and sent Bassoon into the Mountain Sea Mirror in the Spirit Map's space. At the same time, he transmitted a message to Xia Qing, who was in the space, to give Bassoon an additional 100 points.
The free labor actually used points to exchange for things like cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks. These things were naturally worthless to Xia Ruofei. He could casually spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy a bunch of them and put them in the space for everyone to exchange.
After sending Bassoon into the space, Xia Ruofei finally showed a trace of satisfaction on his face.
The test of the Thousand Illusions Array just now was obviously very successful.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't test all the functions of the array.
After all, Bassoon was just an ordinary person. The array had many powerful effects that even cultivators would find hard to resist.
For example, scenes of lava and volcanoes. Even cultivators would be greatly affected. They might even fall into the illusion and never be able to extricate themselves.
Once a person encountered a natural disaster like a volcanic eruption and died, they would truly die. Their spirit body would be destroyed, and their physical body wouldn't be able to survive.
If such a scene was used on Bassoon, then he would definitely die.
Xia Ruofei only wanted to test the array, not take Bassoon's life. Therefore, Xia Ruofei didn't even try the scenes that were clearly outside of Bassoon's range.
However, since there were no problems with the simple scenes, then there shouldn't be any problems with the complicated and powerful scenes. If there were any loopholes in the array, they would be exposed after a dozen or so scenes.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei was finally able to confirm that the Thousand Illusion Array was a success.
Xia Ruofei put away the array's materials one by one. Next, he would be preparing to enter the fourth floor of the training tower.
Xia Ruofei put away the Thousand Illusion Array's materials and array diagram into the Ring-Tu space. Then, he turned his attention to the huge bronze door.
The door only had a huge door frame with exquisite relief carvings. Xia Ruofei went closer to take a look. He realized that the carvings depicted all kinds of giant beasts. He didn't recognize any of them, but he quickly realized that star beasts and sea serpent beasts were among them.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but be curious. He silently memorized the faces of the giant beasts that he didn't recognize.
In the middle of the door was the familiar light screen.
The light screen was flowing with multicolored rays of light. It looked very beautiful.
Similarly, even if he stared at the light screen without blinking, he still couldn't find any useful information. It was the same for his mental power. It couldn't penetrate the light screen at all.
Xia Ruofei was just giving it a try. He didn't have much hope.
He looked at the multicolored light screen between the large bronze door frame and took a deep breath. Then, he stepped through the door …
After the familiar slight dizziness, Xia Ruofei, who was already on high alert, stepped onto a foreign land.
He had never believed in gods. The moment he stepped through the door, he kept praying that Ling Qingxue would be randomly assigned to the same training space as him.
This time, Xia Ruofei's desire was even stronger because the description of the mission reward clearly stated that the companions that were randomly assigned to him this time would be with him in the subsequent missions on the other floors.
If Ling Qingxue was randomly assigned, then the two of them would never be separated again.
Xia Ruofei was on high alert. Once he entered the fourth floor of the training tower, he immediately released his mental power to investigate. He also looked around, trying to figure out his surroundings as soon as possible.
This was a wasteland that stretched as far as the eye could see.
There was almost no grass growing on the ground. Only a few camel-like plants grew in the sand. There were very few of them and they couldn't cover the entire ground. Here and there, they looked like fresh cowhide. It added a sense of desolation to this wasteland.
The sand on the ground had some white particles. It looked like this was a saline-alkali soil. Therefore, other than the camel-like plants, no other plants could grow here.
Of course, Xia Ruofei was very clear that this wasn't the real outside space. It was a small space similar to the Ring-Tu space. Therefore, this desolate environment was only deliberately arranged by the almighty who created this training tower.
As for the almighty's purpose, Xia Ruofei wasn't sure.
However, Xia Ruofei liked this kind of terrain.
At least it wasn't like the forest where the terrain was too complicated. Here, he could see very far at a glance.
After experiencing the battle with the Sea Serpent Beast, Xia Ruofei could also confirm that mental power was not omnipotent. Many monsters with a higher cultivation level than him, or even monsters with the same cultivation level as him, could hide their presence very well.
In this case, it was very important to have an unobstructed vision.
In such an environment, at least Xia Ruofei would be able to discover that something was wrong before the danger arrived and react accordingly.
If he was in the forest, there would often be situations where he was caught off guard and had to react hastily.
After looking around, Xia Ruofei didn't find any danger for the time being.
Of course, he wasn't lucky enough to be directly teleported to the same place as the random companion.
In his field of vision, he didn't see anyone at all, not even a shadow.
The mission for the fourth floor of the training tower had not been released yet.
Xia Ruofei looked around. Every direction looked the same. There was no difference in the scenery. It was a desolate scene.
Then he could only choose based on his feelings.
Xia Ruofei directly took out the Qu Shuang Flying Sword, casually threw it into the air, and then let the flying sword fall to the ground.
When he couldn't determine which direction to go, Xia Ruofei could only use the flying sword to make a decision. This was similar to throwing shoes.
The tip of the Qu Shuang Flying Sword was pointed directly in front of Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei nodded. His right hand grabbed the air, and the Qu Shuang Flying Sword suddenly floated up.
Then Xia Ruofei stepped on the flying sword and flew towards the direction where the sword hilt was pointing, which was directly behind where he was standing.
Originally, Xia Ruofei wanted to choose the direction of the sword tip, but he changed his mind. Why not go in the opposite direction? Maybe he could immediately find the random companion!
In fact, there was no difference between the direction of the sword tip and the sword hilt. For Xia Ruofei, since he didn't know what was waiting for him in front, he might as well take the initiative to look for it.
Xia Ruofei stepped on the flying sword and flew quickly close to the ground.
Carrying Xia Ruofei, the Qu Shuang Flying Sword whistled through the air and flew about a foot above the ground.
This wasteland seemed to have nothing but camel spurs, so Xia Ruofei could fly freely and didn't have to worry about avoiding obstacles.
Just as he flew about ten kilometers, a line of words suddenly appeared in the Perceptive Mirror: The mission for the fourth floor of the training tower has been activated!
Xia Ruofei hurriedly stopped and carefully read the details of the mission for the fourth floor.
In the Perceptive Mirror's vision, there was a line of words written on the mission board: The mission for the fourth floor of the training tower will be based on the cultivation level of the companion who was randomly sent to this small space, as well as your own cultivation level. The difficulty of the mission will be determined based on the person with the higher cultivation level, and the difficulty will be doubled.
This kind of mission determination method was exactly the same as the third floor of the training tower, so Xia Ruofei didn't study it in detail after a glance.
The next paragraph was the specific content of the mission for the fourth floor of the training tower — Collect 500 pieces of middle grade Huang Yujing. The time limit for breaking the record is five hours. The time limit for completing the mission is twelve hours. If the time limit is exceeded and the mission is not completed, the mission will be considered a failure. Regardless of whether the mission is completed or not, the time limit for staying on the fourth floor of the training tower was twelve hours. If the time limit was exceeded, the person would be forcefully sent out of this space.
