"First like this... then like this..."

"After this one, move on to this one..."

"Hiss... No, we've already taken that much damage!"

...

The Ghost Eel's mechanic is that it generates a shield the first time it takes damage in each round.

One consideration is the offensive capability of the player's deck, and the order in which to focus fire on the target.

Zhong Yi suffered a great loss at first, but he quickly calmed down and began to make amends.

Finally, after losing a significant amount of health, it was only after that all four ghost eels were defeated.

"Hiss, how am I going to get past these five elites...?"

Zhong Yi looked at his remaining 20 health points and felt a little discouraged.

After the ghost eel died, three bursts of spiritual energy erupted from its body.

The ball of spiritual energy in the center emitted a faint purple halo.

"In stock!?"

Zhong Yi immediately perked up.

The first wisp of gray spiritual energy was still spirit stones, and there were more of them than with the small monsters.

The second cluster of purple spiritual energy is a magical artifact; Zhong Yi obtained the 【Vajra Pestle】, which increases the character's strength by one point.

The third cluster of gray spiritual energy also offered a choice of one of three cards, but when Zhong Yi opened it, he was surprised to see a golden card.

【Demonic Form (3 Aura): At the start of your turn, gain 2 Strength.】

"Wow! The drop rate for elites is so high!?"

Zhong Yi exclaimed in surprise and, without thinking, decisively added 【Demon Form】 to his deck.

That gleaming gold card back, that cool card design, that awesome card name...

"This must be the most powerful card among the Ironclad Sect cultivators!!"

Zhong Yi commented as follows.

Despite losing a lot of health, the gains were good, and Zhong Yi was in a very good mood.

"Next..."

Zhong Yi glanced at the route.

There is a campfire on the right.

On the left is a small monster room, and behind the monster room is a question mark room.

"Gentlemen, I'd like to try my luck in the Question Number Room..."

Zhong Yi licked the corner of his mouth.

The mystery of the question mark room holds some amazing treasures!

Whether it's a rare magic weapon or 100 spirit stones, it's the best of the best.

Although I don't have much health, the difficulty of the small monster room is obvious, but it's not that great.

It only takes away six or seven points of health per round, which is more than enough to withstand.

"Never mind, fortune favors the bold! Let's take a chance!"

Zhong Yi made up his mind and walked to the left.

"I refuse to believe that a mere monster can take away 20 of my health!?"

As he kicked open the door to the small monster room on the left, a huge 【Fossil Tracker】 stretched out countless tiny tentacles and stood silently in the middle of the road.

"..."

"This is a card game..."

Can I take back my move?

"..."

"What bad luck!!!"

...

The difficulty of 【Fossil Tracker】 lies in the fact that players need to be on guard.

After being traumatized by the 【Old Statue】, Zhong Yi only played attack cards.

Despite dying tragically at the hands of the 【Fossil Tracker】, Zhong Yi was not discouraged; instead, he found the illusion even more intriguing.

Because each game broadens his understanding of the illusion and arouses his desire to take off in the next game.

Even if he fails, there are still many things that can entice him to keep playing.

For example, that gold card that I never had a chance to use.

For example, the sword in the stone that hasn't been unsealed yet.

For example, that fragile design school with a promising future...

...

After thinking it over, Zhong Yi excitedly started another round.

"Again!"

...

...

Lu Ze's illusionary base is extremely exaggerated.

Even without any advertising in the various fantasy realms, it still garnered considerable attention through word-of-mouth among forum players.

Within half a day, tens of thousands of cultivators entered the "Slaughtering Immortal Tower".

Discussions about "Slaughter Tower" are raging on the forum.

【Lu Laomo's new illusion is out, has everyone played it?】

【Of course... but it's too difficult】

【This is so hard! I can't even get past the first level!!】

【The monsters in that jungle are insane...the mobs are stronger than the elites!】

【Dense forest... Don't even mention it, I've developed a condition where I want to run away whenever I see a stone statue.】

【The first level was alright; I felt like a genius after completing it, but the second level immediately taught me a lesson.】

【How exactly should Ironclad Sect cultivators play? Can someone teach me?】

【Are the Ironclad Sect cultivators even playable? So many cards require burning through them; what am I supposed to play after burning them all??】

【Could it be that the previous characters were too weak? Will it be easier to win with the new characters later?】

【I've unlocked the first four, and I've just gotten to the Extraterrestrial Demon Prince... It seems like it should be very powerful? But it's so complicated, I don't understand it at all.】

【It seems the Ironclad Sect cultivators are actually the strongest? The hunters and soul cultivators are utterly weak! Especially the soul cultivators...】

【Don't panic, everyone. I just unlocked my fifth character, the Glitch Puppet. He's a rather cute little guy.】

【The last one unlocked will definitely be the strongest! Fellow Daoist, go scout ahead and help us!】

...

...

Xianyun Villa, a pavilion in the sky.

Seeing the barrage of complaints on the forum, 【Rakshasa】 was overjoyed, and his smile grew even wider.

The four of them knew in advance about the 【inner demon】's arrangements in the three questions, and therefore had already made their own plans.

At this time, the most acclaimed work, "The Wonderland of the Linglong Tower," was his painstaking creation.

【Rakshasa】 was originally an elder of the Green Mountain Sect. Although he was expelled due to public pressure, they still had many private interactions.

Han Xian was his disciple, so naturally the illusion was entrusted to him and published in Han Xian's name.

The poor reviews of "Slaying Tower" make 【Rakshasa】 the biggest beneficiary. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Because the rewards prepared by 【Inner Demon】 are genuine.

Even if the elders of the Illusion Alliance capture it, the 【Inner Demon】 will still be distributed as is.

Which of the four elders wouldn't covet that incomparably precious Void Soul Crystal?

Now that 【Rakshasa】 is far ahead, the expressions of the other three are not very pleasant.

"Alliance Leader! It seems that kid has really failed this time... The reviews for'Slaughtering Immortal Tower' are very bad! It seems that this time, my 'Exquisite Tower Wonderland' has won!"

【Rakshasa】 excitedly approached 【Inner Demon】 to claim credit.

That would be best.

【Inner Demon】 nodded, his face expressionless, but inwardly he agreed with what 【Rakshasa】 said.

The popularity of Lu Ze's illusion can be easily seen from the sentiment on the forum.

Now it seems that the difficulty of "Slaughter Tower" is too high, and the cultivators are all complaining.

Lu Ze's high-difficulty illusions, such as "If You're a Cultivator, Go Down a Hundred Floors," "Four People in One Journey," and "Digging for Ascension," have not become any of his hit works!

If there were no sect requirements, very few cultivators would be willing to try.

This also proves that high-difficulty illusions are very unpopular!

【Inner Demon】 frowned slightly.

What he could think of, Lu Ze could definitely think of as well.

If that's the case, why design such a difficult illusion?

Before he could think further, 【Rakshasa】 continued triumphantly in his ear:

"Alliance Leader, my disciple has also made a spiritual pact with Lu Ze... If Lu Ze loses, he will willingly take one of my disciple's attacks!"

Upon hearing this, 【Inner Demon】 immediately perked up.

Lu Ze is only at the Nascent Soul stage. What makes him so worthy of taking a single blow from a Deity Transformation stage cultivator?

A single, all-out attack would cripple someone, even if they didn't die.

This is clearly a golden opportunity to get rid of a major threat!

"This time, we must win."

【Today has been the most difficult and painful day I've had since I resumed writing, or rather, since I started writing this book.】

【Our relationship of several years ended. I started crying as soon as I opened my eyes, my head was throbbing, I couldn't eat, and my hands would tremble when I picked up the mouse.】

【I've been sitting in front of the computer since this afternoon, for eight hours now, and I've finally finished writing these two chapters... and that's after I thought about the general plot last night.】

【I thought to myself, my love is gone, I can't lose my career too... so I forced myself to write, even though it was difficult.】

【I apologize that these two chapters might not be as interesting, because the interesting soul behind them is probably tired and resting.】

【I will try my best to control my sadness and maintain the updates, because I've worked so hard for so long, and the goal of reaching a million words is within reach. I want to use writing to escape all the painful emotions... but I'm not sure if sadness will catch up with my pen.】

This June has truly been a calamity for me.
