“I am really sorry, I’ve caused you trouble.” Rasputin quickly reacted towards the situation, he said apologetically: “Anna’s issue is my trauma, to think that it would be used against me now.”
“Be careful in the future.” Ye Feng shook his head, he did not intend to ask about his story.
There was no need to.
He had already guessed the story at this point, it was a pity that the girl called Anna was no longer alive.
“Alright, this illusion has not been resolved yet, we need to find the formation core and destroy it.” Ye Feng saw that Rasputin wanted to apologize again, he quickly interrupted.
“Okay.” Rasputin clenched his fists and nodded.
“I activated the illusion on the tree, to resolve it, we’ll need to do so on the tree.” Ye Feng raised his head and looked at the lush green thousand years longevity fruit tree, he instructed: “Be careful of that ox-head horse-faced beast, until we kill it, we can’t be sure of where it is hiding.”
Once he said that, several ox-head horse-faced beasts appeared around them.
“As expected, these two people are not the only ones in the illusion.” Ye Feng smiled bitterly: “We should thank it for giving us the time to talk earlier.”
“Leave them to me.” Rasputin looked at the three ox-head horse-faced beasts that were ready to attack, he took out a long whip that was covered in lightning.
“This is?” Ye Feng looked at the whip curiously.
[Lightning Whip]
Grade: Stage Six Secret Treasure
Special Trait: A long whip that is able to unleash lightning magic and secret skills. After much nurturing, it is considered top tier even among stage six weapons, but because of the specialty of the weapon, it is hard to control.
“This is the secret treasure of my family.” Rasputin said in embarrassment: “They wanted to kill me because of this as well.”
“I got it.” Ye Feng nodded and said: “Don’t underestimate these illusions.”
Saying so, he stopped hesitating, he jumped past the ox-head horse-faced beasts that charged at him and went up the thousand years longevity fruit tree.
Ye Feng soon found the crystal that he stepped on earlier, he immediately pierced and destroyed it.
But nothing happened, Ye Feng looked down and saw that Rasputin was still fighting in the illusion.
“It is not responsible for creating the illusion? Or do I need to destroy more crystals?” Ye Feng frowned as he searched on the tree.
Along the way, he plucked several longevity fruits.
If he was not worried about Rasputin, he might not even be so urgent to destroy the illusion.
Because of the terrain, and because Rasputin had to fight an endless stream of illusions, he could not last for long.
As Ye Feng waved his sword, he destroyed another illusion. By now, he had already destroyed three crystals, but the illusion was still active.
He also found a weakness of the illusion, it seemed to be able to only create things they have seen, and it had to be something deep within their subconscious mind.
Earlier, other than the people that Ye Feng cared about, he also saw Kevin Miller and the powerful mutated beast that he fought when Wien was still alive.
The weaker mutated beasts in his memories had not appeared at all.
“Is it afraid of not being able to intimidate us? Even though we know this is an illusion, these opponents are still quite pressuring.” Ye Feng looked up and accelerated his speed.
He did not want to search slowly, he decided to look at the crown of the tree.
Although trees grew slowly, this was a thousand years longevity fruit tree after all. It was about a hundred meters tall, Ye Feng needed some time to climb it.
He was not afraid of falling down, but the illusions that appeared from time to time were annoying.
Before he reached the top, Ye Feng’s eyes shone as he saw faint light coming from the surrounding tree leaves.
He was right to climb the tree.
At the top of the tree, there were eleven crystals distributed around the branches, forming an array formation.
Ye Feng hesitated for a moment before using his sword to pluck out one crystal.
[White Crystal]
Grade: Stage Two Inferior-grade
Special Trait: A crystal that has lost its energy, the material is useful for forging.
Ye Feng pouted as he took all of the remaining crystals.
They were not large anyway, he might as well take them. These crystals were of all colors, he could make accessories with them.
After the eleven crystals were taken, the light on the thousand years longevity fruit tree started to fade, illusions stopped appearing around Ye Feng.
“I wonder if Rasputin is doing okay?” Ye Feng quickly descended the tree.
If Rasputin was just a Knight, these illusions would be quite troublesome. but he had the Lightning Whip in his hand, he should be quite safe.
…
Ye Feng’s predictions were on point, against just mere illusions, Rasputin’s Lightning Whip was more than sufficient.
Bam—
The Lightning Whip cracked and unleashed lightning bolts that were not weaker than Ye Feng’s own spells.
All the illusions that approached him shattered into pieces upon contact with the lightning bolts.
“In that case, I’ll survive until Brother Ye Feng comes back.” Rasputin rubbed his sore wrist as he attacked again.
When using the Lightning Whip, the user would also be affected by mild lightning. Although it could not cause problems to the body, Rasputin had to expend a lot of energy to use it. Together with the unleashing of lightning bolts, it could not be used for a long time.
But these illusions were still easier to deal with.
Right when Rasputin was preparing to take a rest after getting rid of all the illusions around him, the sound of a sonic boom could be heard above him.
Rasputin raised his head and had no time to swing his whip, he immediately rolled away from the assault.
It was the real ox-head horse-faced beast.
if they fought one-on-one, Rasputin could match it for some time, but right now, he was inside an illusion.
Once he stood up, Rasputin felt some pain coming from behind him as he destroyed the illusion with his whip.
But the ox-head horse-faced beast would not let go of this opportunity, it pounced towards him.
Rasputin gritted his teeth and swung the whip, but he was easily knocked to the ground before the whip even hit it.
Secret skill — Full Powered Strike!
Right now, Rasputin could not use the Lightning Whip, he had to raise his left hand and punch the enemy.
Under the amplification of the secret skill, although he could not exert all his strength due to the angle, he still managed to unleash greater strength than normal.
The ox-head horse-faced beast did not expect that Rasputin’s punch was so powerful, it was sent flying soon after.
“You really think I am an easy target!” Rasputin jumped up and swung the whip with both hands after activating the magic spell.
“Auuuu—” The ox-head horse-faced beast that had just landed on the ground could not dodge in time, it was hit directly.
Rasputin shattered the illusion in his way again as he charged towards the ox-head horse-faced beast.
