Chapter 1811 Mirage Appears
“God Grade Farm ()”
Although the difficulty of the trial mission was doubled, two people completed it together, so any one of the two who killed the mirage would be included in the number of missions.
Xia Ruofei saw that the numbers in the mission record had changed, and her heart sank slightly.
Because if the person sent here is Ling Qingxue, even if she can pass the test of the phantom formation, it is unlikely that she can kill the mirage beast faster than Xia Ruofei.
Therefore, this companion who was randomly teleported with Xia Ruofei is likely to be a Golden Core cultivator as well, or even a mid-Gold Core cultivator like Shen Tianfang.
After all, Xia Ruofei can't judge the difficulty by the number of kills required by the mission, so it is not clear whether the standard for the number of kills is set according to his cultivation base or another companion's cultivation base.
Of course, this is not absolute.
After all, Xia Ruofei has been looking for a long time in this small trial space since receiving the task, but he didn't find the mirage beast.
As for the other companion, if luck is better than him, of course, it is possible to encounter mirage beasts first.
Moreover, what this mirage is and what its characteristics are are still unknown, Xia Ruofei is not completely sure, Ling Qingxue cannot kill the mirage. Maybe a certain ability of Ling Qingxue is just right to restrain mirage beasts?
It's just that this possibility should be very small, Xia Ruofei's heart is more or less lost.
But he soon cheered up. After all, when he made this choice, he had already thoroughly researched and judged. The probability of Ling Qingxue teleporting with him was only one in eight, and this probability was actually very small.
Moreover, since we have reached the third floor of the Trial Tower and accepted the mission, the most urgent task now is not to entangle whether that companion is Ling Qingxue, but to reunite with the companion as much as possible while completing the mission as soon as possible No matter whether this person is Ling Qingxue or not, the two of them will take care of each other when they complete the task together.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei quickly got rid of the distracting thoughts in his mind, accelerated Qu Shuangfei's sword, and continued to look for the mirage beast.
The companion has already achieved zero breakthrough, so he can't fall behind!
If in the end, although the task is completed, most of the mirages are killed by his companions, then Xia Ruofei will also have a dull face!
A few minutes later, when Qu Shuangfei's sword passed over a small hillside, Xia Ruofei's peripheral vision suddenly caught a line of words appearing in the field of vision of the perception mirror: mid-level mirage beast found.
He immediately lifted his spirits.
He quickly used his mental strength to search forward, and at the same time, his eyes scanned the front.
Then his expression froze slightly, because no matter whether he searched with mental strength or observed with the naked eye, he did not find anything that might be a mirage. In front of him was an ordinary hillside with ordinary vegetation, green grass in the Gently shaking under the breeze, it is a quiet and peaceful scene.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help being a little hesitant. The perception mirror would not lie, which meant that there was a mirage within its detection range, and it happened to be the mid-level mirage needed for the mission. However, why couldn't he find it at all?
Xia Ruofei's thoughts turned sharply, and at the same time, he scanned his surroundings again sharply.
Still nothing.
At this time, he had stopped Qu Shuangfei sword and was fully on guard.
After pondering for a while, Xia Ruofei decisively took out a large amount of formation materials from the Lingtu space—these were the materials for the set of trapped killing formations he had repaired, and then began to throw the formation materials to the their specific locations.
After setting up the formation many times, Xia Ruofei is now more proficient. After a few minutes, the trapping and killing formation has been completed.
Xia Ruofei doesn't understand the completely invisible mirage beast at all, so what he can do now is to strengthen the defense as much as possible and use all the means that can be used.
Then, Xia Ruofei followed the general direction suggested by the perception mirror, and carefully explored step by step.
The range of the trapped killing formation was not large, and Xia Ruofei soon walked out of the range of the formation.
However, the detection range of the perception mirror is actually not large, so even if Xia Ruofei walks to the edge of the detection range of the perception mirror, it will be very fast to return to the inside of the formation, especially if Yu Jian flies, it is only a few seconds time.
This gave him a lot of confidence.
However, just after Xia Ruofei walked seven or eight steps forward, he suddenly felt a blur in front of him.
The next thing that made him dumbfounded was that he found that the environment he was in had completely changed.
It seems that I should be on an island, with the faint sound of waves coming from my ears, and even the wind that blows has the unique salty smell of the sea. A few seabirds whizzed across the sea in the distance, and then soar.
Xia Ruofei's face changed, and it was too late to step back.
He knew that he should have been tricked. This very realistic illusion was probably arranged by the mirage detected by the perception mirror.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smiled wryly. He set up a trap and kill array in advance, and wanted to lead the mirage beasts into the array to destroy, but he didn't expect that he stepped into the opponent's trap first.
The most exasperating thing is that he hasn't had a face-to-face with that mirage until now, and he fell directly into the illusion.
Thinking that his companion had killed a mirage just now, Xia Ruofei frowned even more secretly, which showed that the companion's strength was really very strong.
Xia Ruofei observed the surrounding environment intently, trying to find out the flaws of this illusion from the perspective of the array.
At this moment, a feeling of heart palpitations suddenly came to my heart.
This is Xia Ruofei's natural perception of danger. His face changed, and he stepped on the flying sword without hesitation and flew directly to the sky.
With a whoosh, a black shadow flashed under Xia Ruofei's feet, and quickly escaped into the void again, as if it had never appeared before.
Xia Ruofei was flying up just now, and he didn't see the black shadow clearly.
Of course, his mental power has been released all the time, and he is on high alert, but just like before, the detection of mental power has completely lost its effect, and there is no trace of this black shadow at all.
Xia Ruofei couldn't help frowning, if the mirage beast that appeared just now, it would be much more difficult to deal with than the star beast.
Even if the task on the third floor of the trial tower was doubled, it was only required to kill 30 mirage beasts.
If the mid-level mirage beasts could reach such strength, it would indeed be quite difficult to kill thirty of them.
Xia Ruofei's mind turned rapidly, thinking about how to deal with mirage beasts.
This mirage beast comes and goes without a trace, and is best at arranging illusions. If there is no way to crack it, it may be trapped in this illusion for a long time. By then, let alone two hours, it will be twenty. Hours are not enough.
Theoretically speaking, if you want to break through the emptiness, you must be extremely firm in your mind. From this point of view, compared with Xia Ruofei, the older generation of practitioners like Yang Liu and Mu Hua have an advantage. Even Chen Xuan, It has an advantage over Xia Ruofei. After all, they have practiced for a long time, and their mental state must be stronger.
But Xia Ruofei also knows that since the master who set up the trial space designed such a task, it means that the mirage must have a way to deal with it, and now he needs to find out this way as soon as possible.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the first mirage is killed, the rest will be much easier.
Xia Ruofei suddenly had a flash of light in his mind-the mirage beast can easily arrange illusions, but it doesn't seem to have any lethality, so it just launched its own horse to attack Xia Ruofei. If this is the case, can there be a "fighting poison with fire"?
In other words, arrange a small phantom array around him, and once the mirage beast appears, he may fall into the phantom array arranged by Xia Ruofei.
As long as the mirage can be controlled, the next thing will be much simpler.
Xia Ruofei now regrets that he had set up the trapped killing array in advance, and now the trapped killing array can't work, otherwise, setting up a trapped killing array now is much more effective than a simple illusion array.
It seems that I was a little too cautious just now, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but smiled wryly.
However, it is a little troublesome to prepare a complete set of formation materials for the trapped killing formation, but it is relatively easy for Xia Ruofei to arrange a simple phantom formation.
He knew that the mirage must be watching his every move in secret, waiting for the opportunity to launch the fiercest attack, so he didn't dare to easily expose the space of the spiritual picture, let alone take out the scroll of the spiritual picture.
Therefore, he can only prepare this phantom array from the outside world.
Fortunately, the simple phantom formation is not very difficult for Xia Ruofei, and he has mastered several phantom formations, all of which are powerful, and the preparation is not too complicated.
Xia Ruofei quickly took out the formation materials needed from the Lingtu space, mainly some blank jade symbols and spirit stones.
Xia Ruofei simply sat down where he was, and began to draw directly on the blank jade talisman with his fingers.
Of course, he didn't dare to relax his vigilance all the time, so he could only focus on two things at this time, while drawing the pattern of the formation, and at the same time being on guard to prevent the mirage beast from appearing suddenly.
At this time, Xia Ruofei's mental strength is much stronger than before, and it is not particularly difficult for him to focus on such things.
Although Xia Ruofei didn't have a carving knife in his hand, he was able to accurately carve each pattern into the inside of the blank jade talisman.
Among the several illusion arrays he has mastered, the one he is currently drawing is of medium difficulty and relatively powerful. The entire set of illusion arrays only needs to draw four jade talismans.
Xia Ruofei moved his fingers like flying, and the pattern patterns were carved on the blank jade talisman.
After about ten minutes, the entire set of phantom formations was completed. Xia Ruofei couldn't even imagine this speed before.
Those four jade talismans didn't seem to have changed much on the surface, but if you use your spiritual power to investigate, you will find that the inside is densely covered with mysterious patterns.
In these ten minutes, the mirage beast did not appear once. Xia Ruofei was worried that the mirage beast would come out to make trouble at the critical moment of depicting the formation, but now it seems that it is in vain to worry again.
After Xia Ruofei checked it once, he threw out the four jade charms with a wave of his hand.
The jade talismans landed in their respective positions accurately. At the same time, Xia Ruofei also threw out a simple array control core. The array patterns on it echoed the array patterns in the jade talisman. There is an unused spirit crystal inlaid on it.
Xia Ruofei's mental power touched the formation control core, and the formation immediately started to work. The energy of the spirit crystal was extracted by the control core, and it was continuously transmitted to the entire formation range through the formation patterns.
There seemed to be a ripple in the air.
Xia Ruofei found out after a brief inspection that the formation had been activated successfully.
He breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, in such a tight time, he needed to prepare four formation symbols and a control core. After dropping a blank jade talisman, everything else went smoothly, with almost no time wasted.
Instead, he is now worried that the mirage will not appear again. If the mirage wants to trap Xia Ruofei to death and wait outside the range of the illusion, then Xia Ruofei has nothing to do with it.
Along the way, he continued to observe with his mental power and naked eyes, and at the same time, he always paid attention to the prompts of the perception mirror.
However, mirage beasts don't seem to be easier to find than star beasts on the second floor of the trial tower. Xia Ruofei didn't find anything when flying all the way there, and there was no hint in the perception mirror.
Xia Ruofei felt a little at a loss - the record-breaking time was two hours, or four hours.
These hours seem to be quite a lot. If you have to spend a lot of time looking for mirage beasts, the four hours will be exhausted soon.
Sure enough, the record is not so easy to break.
Even if Xia Ruofei is full of fighting spirit now, if he can't find an opponent, he can only do nothing.
Next, something happened that surprised Xia Ruofei - when he passed a bush, he habitually glanced at the field of view of the perception mirror.
There is still no information about mirage beasts, but Xia Ruofei sees a change in the task prompt bar at the top right of the field of vision from the corner of Xia Ruofei's eyes!
In the original task progress, 030 was displayed. When Xia Ruofei looked at the perception mirror last time, there was no change here.
But now, he suddenly discovered that the progress of the task has actually become 130! Even if Xia Ruofei is full of fighting spirit now, if he can't find an opponent, he can only do nothing.

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but widen his eyes!
Apparently, before he had made any progress, the companion who had been randomized to this trial space by him had already killed an intermediate mirage!
