Chapter 142 Return to Yancheng

Just when Uncle Tian's expression became more and more ugly, several other leaders around him showed a hint of joy at the same time. Only the old man in green shirt looked at the rapidly falling figure with slightly complicated eyes.

Soon everyone around them noticed something was wrong. The spiral tower was about ten feet high. It was not surprising that some high-level warriors who practiced special martial arts could safely fall from such a high place. But this bald figure was standing on its head and feet, and it was about to land but it didn't make any other movements.

"Bang"

In the astonished gaze of everyone, the bald man fell directly to the ground in front of everyone, with flesh and blood flying everywhere. Just as everyone looked at the strange "winner" in front of them in shock, the old man in green clothes raised his head and looked up again. Everyone seemed to have remembered something, and they also cast their eyes towards the top of the spiral tower.

At this time, the figure of a thin young man also slowly emerged. Facing the people below with different expressions, the young man just smiled faintly, and then walked down the stone steps outside the spiral tower.

When Zuo Feng arrived at the bottom of the tower, he first scanned the crowd. When he realized that the red-faced old man leading the team from the Sheriff's Mansion was not among them, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Your name is Zuo Feng, can you explain to the old man what you mean?"

The old man in green shirt looked at Zuo Feng for a moment, then pointed at the corpse on the ground and said in a bad tone. Zuo Feng heard the old man's question, slowly turned around and looked at him without hesitation for a while, and then spoke.

"I think Mr. Hong should carefully examine the body and then ask about the reason."

Zuo Feng had just paid careful attention. Although the old man in green shirt was extremely arrogant, there was no flicker or dodge in his eyes. Obviously, the old man probably didn't know about the manipulation of the rotating tower mechanism last time and the cheating of someone using the "Elixir of Destiny" this time.

The old man in green shirt snorted coldly after hearing Zuo Feng's words, then lowered his head and looked at the corpse on the ground. After watching carefully for a long time, the old man couldn't help but feel a little surprised and kicked it lightly with his foot. The body moved slightly and lay down on its back.

When Zuo Feng dropped the bald man before, he also mastered the strength and angle and deliberately let the back of his head hit the ground first. Although the bald man's face was covered in blood at this moment, his appearance could still be distinguished.

Along with the old man in green shirt, everyone looked at the bald man carefully again, and then a soft "Eh" sound came from the crowd. Obviously these people also discovered a problem. Although this bald man looked somewhat similar to the bald young man who entered the tower, it seemed that he was now close to thirty years old.

Although a group of people were a little confused, they still turned their attention to the old man in green shirt. After thinking for a moment, the old man in green shirt slowly said four words: "Repay elixir against fate".

At this time, most of the old men who were watching nodded slightly with a look of realization on their faces. At the same time, some people quickly remembered something and looked at the thin boy next to them again in surprise. This young man, who was only fourteen or fifteen years old, was actually able to kill a warrior who was close to thirty years old in such a competition. Moreover, this warrior should have been vigorously trained by the county governor.

But they didn't know that in a fair duel, it would be really difficult for Zuo Feng with the "prison lock" to defeat the bald man in front of him without using other means. But the characteristic of the Spin Tower is that it doesn't care about the process but only the results. Since everyone has not seen the process with their own eyes, they will naturally be extremely shocked by Zuo Feng's strength.

The old man in green shirt surnamed Hong had a sinking face at this time, staring at the body of the bald young man, but in his heart he kept cursing the despicable methods of the county governor Lin Lang.

"This guy should be thrown into the mountains to feed the wild beasts."

One of the leaders said fiercely, and the others kept nodding in agreement. Zuo Feng's expression changed, his eyes swept across the faces of the person who started to speak and those who echoed, and then he sneered.

Zuo Feng knew that most of these people should be on the side of the county guards, but he didn't have any credentials and was too lazy to talk nonsense with these people. Turning around, facing the old man in green shirt, he said: "Since this is a trial organized by the empire, I think the empire should also be aware of this method."

The old man in green shirt took a deep look at Zuo Feng. This young man seemed ordinary, but his calmness and wit made the old man look at him with admiration. Nodding slightly, the old man in green shirt said: "This little friend is right, this body cannot be destroyed. It must be reported to the empire and let the elders make the final decision."

Those who had spoken just now, when they heard what the old man in green shirt said, they all nodded in embarrassment.

"How's it going? Are you injured in any way?"

Uncle Tian walked to Zuo Feng and asked with concern. Zuo Feng glanced at Uncle Tian, ​​smiled and shook his head. He said: "Although it took some effort, the skin injuries are all minor and are not serious for the time being."

Uncle Tian's concern for him was also sincere. Although Zuo Feng was a little dissatisfied with Anxiong's actions, he still had a good impression of the old man.

"It's getting late today, why don't we have a night's rest before leaving."

Zuo Feng knew that Uncle Tian was referring to the small stone house where he had stayed before. Zuo Feng looked around, but the last unfinished words of the bald man suddenly appeared in his mind. He felt an obvious discomfort in his heart, and then he remembered that the red-faced old man leading the team from the Sheriff's Mansion was missing, which made him vaguely feel that something was about to happen.

"Let's get out of here first."

Zuo Feng walked into the forest first, and although Uncle Tian was a little puzzled, he followed quickly. The others knew that in this trial, Yancheng's position as the final winner might be unshakable. Some people didn't even care about the life and death of the people they brought with them, and immediately set off to rush back to where they came from. They wanted to bring this news back to the leaders of all parties as soon as possible.

Just as most people got up and left, the old man in green shirt summoned four men into the spiral tower as he did before. Another job of this tower keeper was to clean up the spiral tower and clear up the aftermath of the war.

When the old man came to the fifth-floor hall, there was still a pool of blood on the ground, which was left by the dead bald man. When the old man saw this, he couldn't help but think of the winning boy. When the boy won for the first time, he also paid a little attention to him, but he was not as impressed as this time.

After a casual glance around, the old man was ready to order his men to clean up the ground. Suddenly, the old man's nose twitched slightly, and a faint musty smell entered his nose. Then the old man's face changed and he quickly walked towards the passage next to him.

The old man in green shirt was obviously very familiar with this place. After walking a dozen steps, he stopped and looked carefully at the wall next to him. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, the old man pushed hard against the wall, and the secret door was easily opened without any obstruction. The old man looked at the clear footprints in the passage with a gloomy face. Obviously, someone had entered here and walked out again.

At this moment, the old man's face was full of disbelief. He ran into the passage quickly in two steps, turned a corner and rushed upstairs without stopping. The old man was completely different from Zuo Feng. He knew all the mechanisms here, and he had closed all the mechanisms on the fifth floor by himself.

When the figure of the old man in green shirt appeared on the attic on the sixth floor of the spiral tower, the shock on his face had gradually turned into dullness. There was even saliva next to his wide-open mouth, and he was unaware of it. He stared at the empty stone platform with a dull look. The traces on the stone platform showed that there was a red crystal stone there.

"Impossible, this is impossible, how could this happen..."

The old man stood there blankly, his mouth opening and closing and still mumbling some words like a dream. The crystal stone originally placed on the stone platform was now lying safely in Zuo Feng's nanocrystal.

Before, the beast soul in Zuo Feng's body devoured the energy in the crystal stone, and later the little beast Nifeng helped Zuo Feng resolve the crisis. All this can be said to have happened in a moment. It was just that after the crisis, some of the energy in the beast soul was mixed into the spiritual energy, and it took a little longer to repair Zuo Feng's meridians and organs.

After that, Zuo Feng's body was also slightly transformed, and this time the transformation seemed much milder than the previous two times. After this transformation, Zuo Feng did not immediately notice any changes. But it was just this little change, and Zuo Feng was extremely happy when he found it later.

After experiencing this series of changes, when Zuo Feng opened his eyes again, his body had recovered to almost the same level as when he first entered the tower, and was even stronger than that time. When Zuo Feng was about to leave, he hesitated when he looked at the crystal stone whose color had slightly lightened.

The mysterious energy in the crystal stone was swallowed by the beast soul, and the spiritual power contained in it was too huge. The two strands of spiritual power emitted from it almost burst Zuo Feng's body. But this crystal stone is undoubtedly a great tonic for Feng Feng. He believes that if he can successfully extract the energy in the crystal stone, it will be enough to upgrade from the current second level of the bone refining stage to the peak of the tendon hardening stage or even the Qi refining stage.

Zuo Feng hesitated for a long time, and finally he made a risky decision, which was to take this crystal stone away. As for why taking this crystal stone away is risky, it can be explained from two aspects.

From the fact that this spiral tower is in such a secret place, it can be seen that this crystal stone has a special meaning for the spiral tower, or for the Ye Lin Empire. If someone notices it after he takes it away, he may be in great trouble.

Another point is that his nanocrystal is at the edge of his left palm. If he wants to take the crystal away, he must let the nanocrystal touch it. Zuo Feng has just experienced the consequences of contact. At this moment, the little beast Nifeng seems to have fallen into a deep sleep again, but even if Nifeng is awake at this moment, it is still unknown whether he can help him, so Zuo Feng thinks this is an extremely risky move.
