With Flying Snow around, Xu You was very quick to search for a withered tree. After all, withered trees were so special that they were easy to find. When he was looking for a leveling spot a few days ago, he had also cultivated a pair of sharp eyes. He could not say with his fiery golden eyes, but they weren’t far behind. It didn’t take him 10 minutes to find the next withered tree.

After finding the withered tree, Xu You still circled around the withered tree, but not on the ground. Instead, he rode on the flying snow and circled in the air, so as to avoid triggering the souls of the physical Blood Earth.

As a result, Xu You discovered that the branch of this withered tree was shaped like the word “north”, It was obvious that there were at least four withered trees on the bloody ground. Their branches formed the words “East”, “South”, “West”, and “North”. Xu You was sure that if he wanted to walk out of this nightmare of death, he had to find these withered trees. The portal switch at the exit was very likely on one of these withered trees.

Hence, Xu You still landed beside the dead tree in the north. If he wanted to search carefully, he had to dismount his horse and get close to it. Therefore, he could only lure out the physical Blood Earth soul guarding the dead tree. Xu You had to spend another minute to kill all the Blood Earth soul before carefully examining the North Tree. However, the North Tree was no different from the East Tree in that there was nothing special about it.

This meant that the “North” withered tree was not the “key” to getting out. Xu You shook his head and sighed at his luck. He could only continue searching. Fortunately, there weren’t many withered trees. There were only four.

With this thought in mind, Xu You successfully found the other two withered trees. They were “South” and “West”. However, regardless of whether they were east, south, or west, he assumed that these withered trees were related to the location. In fact, the “North” withered tree was located in the southeast of the “East” withered tree. Therefore, the withered tree had nothing to do with the location. How could the illusion set up by Moke be that simple?

“However, it doesn’t seem very difficult.” When Xu You found the fourth withered tree, “West”, he had this thought in his heart. It wasn’t easy to get out of the nightmare of death, but it wasn’t difficult either. As long as he wasn’t affected by the environment and patiently searched, he would be able to find a way. So this was what Dick meant by “adjusting and relaxing one’s mentality”.

With a relaxed and joyful mood, Xu You swept away the physical Blood Earth Soul near the “West” withered tree. Finally, he arrived at the last one. It should be the withered tree where he walked out of the illusion. Because there was nothing special about the three withered trees in front of him, only this one was left.

However, the result of the search surprised Xu You. There was nothing strange about this tree that had a “west” branch, let alone something like a switch.

“This … what’s going on?” Xu You had a stunned expression on his face. Was he mistaken? However, he turned around to ponder and muttered, “Could there be another tree with the word’middle ‘?”

This made sense. Xu You didn’t waste any time thinking about this. He heard Dick say that this was only the first test. Having spent so much time here proved that his strength was too weak.

Xu You was right. He had indeed found a dead tree with a middle branch not far from the dead tree in the west.

“There must be one this time, right?” Xu You heaved a sigh of relief. His train of thought was still correct. He did not deviate from the logic of Mock’s illusion setting. As long as he followed the logic of the designer, he would be able to walk out of the illusion.

However, Xu You was once again disappointed. There was still no switch on this withered tree. This time, Xu You was completely dumbfounded. He had found it in all directions, but not a single one of them was an exit. Could it be that there were other explanations, such as, “Around the middle of the east, west, north, south, left and right”?

Right now, there were two paths that Xu You could take. One was to continue searching and find the next withered tree. Perhaps he would know what was going on. The problem was that this withered tree might not exist. After all, it had been found in all directions. Other things like “up and down” were actually impossible.

The second is to give up this train of thought, And looking for clues, The clue of the withered tree might have been used to confuse Xu You, However, there was a problem with this choice. The special clue of the withered tree was very conspicuous, so it was easy to find. However, if the clue was a flower or a grass on the bloody ground, it would be too difficult to find. Don’t forget that there were many bloody souls walking on the bloody ground. Although most of the bloody souls were fake and didn’t pose a threat, their ability to block their line of sight was first-rate.

Mock wouldn’t set up such a difficult illusion for me, right? Everyone knows each other … Xu You complained, but he summoned Flying Snow and continued searching. His target was still a withered tree, because he suddenly remembered another saying: Whiten in all directions.

If you don’t recognize it, then change the words to traditional characters. It’s the seven special cards in mahjong, South, Northwest, Middle and White. Of course, this is on the premise of knowing the mahjong game. Coincidentally, Xu You knows how mahjong is played, but Mock knows mahjong?

The designer of the illusion was Moke. If the designer didn’t understand mahjong, how could the word mahjong appear in the illusion? However, he couldn’t care less about it now. After searching for it first, he found it very smoothly. This proved that these withered trees weren’t concealed. If there really were, Xu You, who had an outstanding sense of smell, would definitely be able to find them.

Ten minutes later, Xu You smiled bitterly at a withered tree whose branch was shaped like a tree. As expected, Moke knew the mahjong token, so it was obvious where the exit was. It must be on the last white tree, because the white token inside the mahjong was shaped like a mouth!

Yes, the last branch of the withered tree was shaped like the word “mouth”, but it was longer, like the word “sun” without a horizontal line in the middle. This was the word “white” in mahjong. In the end, Xu You rode through the word “mouth” with flying snow, and the darkness finally descended again.

…

Xu You opened his eyes and closed them again. He discovered that everything was the same: pitch black. This proved that he had returned to the original black room. He waited for his eyes to gradually adapt. Xu You finally saw the faint light again.

“The Eye of Confusion … Will the past bring me back into the illusion?” This time, Xu You did not immediately walk towards the Eye of Confusion. Instead, he pondered for a moment before deciding not to go to the Eye of Confusion. Instead, he searched the room for the entrance.

In the end, Xu You discovered that the door was in the opposite direction of the Eye of Confusion. He turned around and walked a few steps before he could touch the handle of the door. Xu You gripped the handle of the door with endless resentment and pulled it hard. The dazzling light caused Xu You to close his eyes again. He was extremely dissatisfied with this. Suddenly, it was a kind of injury to his eyes.

However, when Xu You opened his eyes again to adapt to the environment, he saw a familiar scenery. That was where Mock lived. Turning around, he saw that Mock’s house was behind him. In other words, he came out of Mock’s house!

“This … what’s going on?” Xu You was very surprised.

“That’s what happened.” Suddenly, a voice came from inside the room. Xu You immediately took a few steps back. When he looked closely, he saw the tauren Mok coming out of the room. This scene made Xu You even more dumbfounded.

“Isn’t that strange? You’ve actually come to my room since you came out of the grey world. It’s just that your curiosity triggered the Eye of Confusion that I placed on the table and you entered another illusion.” Mo Ke smiled as he explained Xu You’s confusion.

A few black lines appeared on Xu You’s forehead and the corner of his mouth twitched as he asked, “You mean that I walked out of the gray world and actually reached my destination?”

‘”Yes, I accidentally placed the Eye of Confusion on the table. I didn’t expect you to suddenly come in. I was very curious about how you would react to such a situation, so I didn’t warn you. You wouldn’t blame me, would you?” Mock said happily.

Xu You was speechless after hearing this. Could he blame Mok? Even if he was weird, he couldn’t say it out loud. It turned out that he had run to look at the Eye of Confusion because of his curiosity and thinking habits, and he had done a lot of useless work in the end.

However, Xu You remembered one thing and asked curiously, “Senior, do you also know about board games like mahjong?”

“Hmm? Looks like you’ve entered the Blood Ground. That’s right. I got a magic TV a while ago. The story inside happened to have an introduction to mahjong. I thought it was interesting, so I put them in the illusion.”

Hearing this, Xu You patted his head. He felt that he had underestimated the NPC. At this time, Mock walked around the room, opened all the windows and doors, and apologetically said, “Actually, I was researching a fantasy recently, closing all the doors and windows of the house. That’s why the room was so dark. If you came to the room from the grey world, you wouldn’t run to look into the eyes of confusion.”

“This has nothing to do with Senior. It’s not the right time for me to come.” Xu You said with a smile.

“Haha, you came here this time to learn the last halo of the halo knight, and you didn’t come to see me, did you?” Mock opened the windows and returned to the front of the room. He smiled and asked Xu You.

“… Yes. Actually, only a few days ago did I understand what the Chaos Stone is for.” Xu You replied with shame.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s good that you’re here. A few months have passed and you’re already Level 70. Time has passed really quickly.”

“Yes.” Xu You sighed.

“Then I won’t waste any more words. I think you can’t wait to enter the next test. When you come back, we can catch up with each other.” Mock suddenly became serious.

Hearing this, Xu You frowned slightly and asked, “Senior, are you saying … that I will soon be defeated?”

Mock did not deny it, nor did he admit it. “Did you know that only your master’s master and a senior 300 years ago managed to successfully learn that divine halo? I can see that you have great expectations, but I hope you can be mentally prepared. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.”

“Is it really that difficult?” Xu You frowned tightly. In order to keep his confidence, Dick did not say how difficult the test was. He only said that he could not learn it. Hence, Xu You was still very optimistic and confident. However, Mock poured cold water on him at this time.

“It’s actually not difficult to say it’s not difficult. It’s actually very difficult to say it’s not difficult. The key lies in your heart.” Like Dick, Mock said something that confused Xu You, but what confused Xu You even more was the other meaning contained in Mock’s words!

“Senior, you are …”

“In terms of seniority, I am your former Senior Uncle.” Mock directly told Xu You the answer.
