Five figures shuttled through the sea of fog. Although it was difficult to identify the direction in such an environment, the old man in white shirt was leading everyone forward quickly with a familiarity.
There were four men and one woman behind the old man. Except for one boy who looked to be the youngest, he was looking around with a casual expression, but the others followed closely with serious expressions. The youngest boy was looking around.
It's left wind.
Soon a majestic huge gray-black stone tower appeared in front of everyone. Zuo Feng was the first to notice that many people had gathered around the stone tower. At a rough look, there were probably no less than twenty people divided into groups, each of them sitting cross-legged.
Meditate.
The arrival of Zuo Feng and his party immediately attracted the attention of other people, who gathered their gazes here curiously. The four of Zuo Feng followed Uncle Tian and found an open space outside the stone tower to follow suit.
Sitting cross-legged like the others, he also looked at several other groups of people.
Uncle Tian seemed to be very familiar with the older people who had arrived before. He smiled and stepped forward to chat. Zuo Feng noticed that there were twenty-four people of similar age to them, and they should belong to other forces from all directions.
Dongjun has a total of three important cities like Yancheng. Each city has one city lord and two deputy commanders. Plus the Dongjun side has a total of forty-eight participants in the trial. Zuo Feng already knows that this year's trial is different from previous years.
It is completely different. The most important thing is that this year the county guard can exclude twelve people from participating in the trial.
Zuo Feng initially thought that this kind of trial would be a team competition. But after Uncle Tian explained it in the stone house the day before, he learned that the spiral tower actually allowed contestants to randomly encounter opponents and compete alone.
In this way, although the county guard side has a numerical advantage, other teams are not without the possibility of winning.
While thinking about it, Zuo Feng also began to carefully look at the people in the other teams. As Zuo Feng had guessed before, the age requirement for participants in the Spin Tower Trial was no more than eighteen years old, while looking at the people in other teams
Their age is almost seventeen or eighteen years old.
The strength of this group of people is roughly the same, and it is difficult to judge the specific level of each other's strength. If Zuo Feng could use telekinesis as he did before, he would be able to roughly judge the strength of the people in front of him.
You can only feel it intuitively.
Although this kind of intuitive impression cannot determine the opponent's strength, it also allows Zuo Feng to lock in a few people who need special attention.
Among them was a young man with long hair shawl, who was raising a bottle of wine in his hand and taking a big gulp of it. A rather beautiful yellow-haired woman was sitting alone in a corner. She seemed to be a little out of place with her teammates. If you look closely,
This woman actually had a pair of green eyes. In addition, there was a thin young man with a sallow face. This young man looked like a sick man and would cough lightly from time to time.
What surprised him was that there was a young man in the northeast corner who looked to be about the same age as Zuo Feng. The young man was extremely short in stature, probably more than half a head shorter than Zuo Hou. Judging from his appearance, he was probably around twelve or thirteen years old.
Years old, but looking at his calm and calm appearance, he seems not to be as simple as an ordinary teenager.
Although these people were as calm and composed as the others, Zuo Feng's keen hearing judged that these people had long breathing. They were obviously advanced practitioners with long Qi pulses, and Zuo Feng also paid special attention to these people.
one time.
While Zuo Feng couldn't help but attract a few people around him, a burst of hurried footsteps sounded in the forest. Then a dozen young men wearing silver armor appeared at the edge of the clearing. As soon as these people arrived, they immediately aroused the attention of others.
Note. In addition to the distinctive silver armor and the large number of people, Zuo Feng immediately recognized that they belonged to the Sheriff's Mansion.
Among these people, there was naturally the masked man who looked familiar to Zuo Feng. After the group of them arrived, they just took a casual glance and found a place to sit down.
Zuo Feng always felt that he had seen that young man wearing a mask before, but he could never figure out where he had met him. While Zuo Feng was trying to remember, there was another mess of footsteps.
Then two waves of people appeared at the edge of the clearing at the same time, and a fat old man who was very familiar to Zuo Feng appeared in Zuo Feng's field of vision. When Zuo Feng saw the fat old man, his eyes instantly turned cold.
.
This fat old man was none other than Manager Wang of the Zhang Yu Commandery who had attacked Zuo Feng in a restaurant. As soon as he appeared, he felt an unkind look towards him, and then he noticed the man sitting not far away.
Left wind.
When he saw Zuo Feng, Manager Wang's fat face couldn't help but beat a few times, then he snorted coldly and walked towards Uncle Tian's group.
Zuo Feng's eyes casually swept across the four people behind him, and the next moment his eyes rested on a handsome young man.
"Fujikata, why are you here?"
This represents one of the members of Zhang Yu's commanding team, Fujikata, who has been defeated by Zuo Feng many times. His appearance surprised Zuo Feng, because he had never heard that Fujikata would join Zhang Yu's side before.
Participate in the trial.
"Hmph, am I only allowed to come here? I tell you Zuo Feng, if we encounter you during the trial, don't expect me to show mercy to you for the sake of my fellow villagers."
After hearing Tengfang's words, Zuo Feng gritted his teeth in his heart. Although he didn't know the hidden meaning, he could guess that this was definitely Zhang Yu's secret work.
His expression changed slightly several times, and Zuo Feng finally just sighed. It was not that he felt sorry for Fujikata, but that a person like the master had given birth to such an insignificant son.
Seeing Zuo Feng's expression, Fujikata coldly said "pretend" and quickly followed the others, ignoring Zuo Feng who looked helpless.
At this time, Zuo Feng had a burning anger in his heart, and this anger was directed at Commander Zhang Yu. Since Teng Fang followed Manager Wang here, he would never listen to his own persuasion, and neither did Zuo Feng.
I don't plan to waste any more time on this matter.
At this moment, another group of people appeared in the open space outside the stone tower. At this time, all the teams participating in the trial had arrived, and Uncle Tian and others immediately returned to their teams.
An old man in blue shirt who chatted with Uncle Tian before seems to be responsible for managing this place. This old man is dressed in coarse linen clothes, with a head of white hair tied back by a hemp rope. Although he looks like an ordinary old man on the surface,
Judging from the faint flash of light in his eyes, he must be a warrior who has reached the Qi refining stage.
"Now that all the teams have arrived, we will seize the time to conduct the following competition."
The old man spoke slowly at this time, and then he stopped talking and looked at Uncle Tian and several other leaders. Uncle Tian and others also immediately understood, strode forward, and followed the
An old man in blue linen came to the bottom of the stone tower.
Where they were, there were ten square protrusions the size of palms. These people pressed their palms on them without being asked, and then after the old man in blue linen uttered the word "open", everyone simultaneously moved the protrusions.
Press down.
As the protrusions were slowly pressed down, bursts of metal collision and gear rolling sounds were heard. The other people were normal, but Manager Wang was obviously a little powerless, and his fat face had changed.
Turn into purple.
Several other people, including the old man in green shirt, looked at Manager Wang with some displeasure. At this time, Manager Wang also felt that he was too embarrassed, so he gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan, followed by the piece he pressed.
The square stones slowly moved downwards.
"puff"
Just when Manager Wang's square stone was pressed down like the others, whether it was too hard or for some other reason, an extremely indecent exhaust sound came from behind his butt.
The old man in green shirt and others were okay, but the young people behind him could not hold back. After a moment of silence, they burst into laughter.
At this time, Manager Wang turned around with shame and anger and glared at those who were laughing. Although Zuo Feng did not laugh so exaggeratedly, he still stared at Manager Wang with a joking expression.
I don't know if it was intentional or not, but Manager Wang seemed to be specifically targeting Zuo Feng and said coldly: "Little boy, why are you laughing? Are you so impatient?"
Zuo Feng's face suddenly turned cold when he heard Manager Wang say this, but before Zuo Feng could speak, Uncle Tian spoke first with a cold voice.
"Why, Manager Wang's injuries seem to have been healed. I'm afraid he has forgotten a lot of things."
As soon as Uncle Tian's voice fell, Mr. Wang's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. After being kicked by Uncle Tian last time, he lay in bed for more than two months. If it weren't for the injuries on his body, he had not recovered.
It would not cause the embarrassing scene just now. After snorting coldly, Manager Wang simply kept silent and returned to the team he brought.
At this time, the sound of gears rolling and metal colliding gradually stopped, but after only a moment of pause, bursts of water sounds came from under the ground. The sound of water became louder and louder, and finally the ground began to tremble slightly, and then that
The stone tower also began to rotate slightly.
Only then did Zuo Feng realize why the huge stone tower in front of him was called the Spiral Tower. It turned out that it relied on the power of the underground river to drive such a huge stone tower. Looking at it, all the mechanisms inside were provided by the underground river.
power.
As soon as the stone tower shook, the old man in blue took out an hourglass from his arms and placed it on the stone platform beside him. Then he pointed to a stone box beside the stone platform and said: "Now follow the previous rules.
, start preparing to draw lots.”
Zuo Feng observed carefully. The leader of each group put in a piece of paper each time, and then the old man in green clothes conducted a round of drawing lots. Then those whose names were called by him would go up to the stone tower platform in order.
, Zuo Feng understood that by doing this, he would not encounter anyone from his group in the first round.
As the names were called one by one, Zuo Feng's teammates also went to the platform of the stone tower. Zuo Feng didn't know whether it was Uncle Tian's deliberate arrangement or a coincidence. It wasn't until the last round of drawing that the old man in green shirt slowly named the names.
