Chapter 103 Wind and Thunder Tower

Everyone kept their mouths shut, not daring to breathe.

Feng Ling glanced around and told the cat spider and cat owl to retreat down the mountain as far as possible to avoid any bad luck.

She also signaled to Pei Xianjue to turn their phones to silent mode, even though they were in the maze and could not receive any signals from the outside world.

In short, after making all the preparations, Feng Ling led them up the mountain quietly.

The Minotaur was lying on the mountain path with its arms and legs spread out. Its body shape was similar to that of the Horse-Faced Monster, but with a pair of horns on its head, it looked more massive and terrifying, like a devil born from hell.

They carefully walked around the Minotaur.

Above is a big tree full of purple fruits. The tree is right next to a tower. Because the trunk is too thick, it blocks the entire tower. You have to climb to the top to find any clues here.

Feng Ling slowly walked under the tree and looked at the tower in front of him.

It was run-down, grey and uncomfortable.

But it was hard to put into words what was wrong. If she had to describe it... this tower seemed alive, and was watching them invisibly with a pair of invisible eyes.

There is a plaque hanging above the main entrance of the tower, and the words on the plaque are blurred and unrecognizable.

Feng Ling whispered to Li Qing beside him: "Do you know this tower?"

Li Qing also replied in a low voice: "There is indeed a tower on Sanqing Mountain, called Fenglei Tower, but this tower is bigger and in a different location."

Feng Ling thought that this tower was not very big, not even as tall as the tree next to it.

"Can the Wind and Thunder Tower be smaller than this tower?" she asked.

Li Qing nodded and replied seriously: "Wind and Thunder Tower, the tower is 1.96 meters high."

Feng Ling: “…………”

Barely enough height for a basketball player.

After leaving the maze, she must go and see this exquisite little tower in person.

At this time, Huangfu Miaomiao came from behind, forcefully pushed the two apart, then raised the children's watch with a serious face to show Feng Ling.

There is a number on the display of the smart watch: 7%
Huangfu Miaomiao pointed at the big tree bearing purple fruits.

Feng Ling understood.

This means that after discovering this tree, the exploration value increased by 7%. It seems that this is a key location.

The exploration value increases when a safe zone is discovered. The safe zone is a place for players to rest.

When you discover a fox village, your exploration value increases, and the statue in the village can eliminate pollution.

The exploration value also increases when lakes and pythons are discovered, but the specific function is unknown.

As for the tree in front of me, it must be useful too.

Pei Xianjue imitated Huangfu Miaomiao and said nothing. He typed a few words on his phone for Feng Ling to see: Do you want to come in?

Feng Ling thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Pei Xianjue, "The two of us will go in, and the others will stay outside just in case."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Feng Ling looked towards the unknown ancient tower in front of her. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but when she decided to enter the tower, the gazes lingering around her became even more scorching...

Her heartbeat began to accelerate, and a feeling of anxiety surged uncontrollably from the bottom of her heart. This was very abnormal because she had always been bold and reckless and rarely felt fear.

Feng Ling looked at Pei Xianjue beside him silently, and found that Pei Xianjue's face had also turned ugly. There must be something strange about this tower...

But no matter how strange it is, we have to go in and find out.

Feng Ling's heart sank, he took a deep breath, and stepped into the tower.

The air suddenly became cold.

Her hair stood on end and she immediately sensed the danger. She looked up and saw a clay statue on the altar in the tower!
The statue is a graceful lady with a dignified and beautiful appearance, wearing colorful clothes, standing in auspicious clouds with a kind smile on her face!
Western Queen!
The name flashed through Feng Ling's mind, and then her whole body was enveloped by great fear. She couldn't even look directly at the statue in front of her!
The invisible pressure was like a guillotine pressed against the back of her neck, forcing her to lower her head and kneel down on her weak knees!
Bang!
Feng Ling widened her eyes and looked at her knees in disbelief. She actually knelt down?

She actually knelt down before a clay doll!!!
What ability is this?
Hypnosis?

mind control?

Or is it a parasite that has taken over my body???
Feng Ling's mind was in a mess. She had never encountered such a situation before! Even if she met a stronger opponent, she would risk her life to fight. But now! Now——

She couldn't even stand up!
why? !

Feng Ling refused to accept it. She tried to steady her heartbeat, control her hands from trembling, took a deep breath, supported herself on the ground with her hands, and tried hard to stand up.

However, as soon as the knee began to exert force, the pressure became stronger!

Her head was pressed even lower, and her upper body was almost crawling on the ground!
Her clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and just a simple action of wanting to stand up made her sweat profusely.

Feng Ling almost bit his back teeth to pieces.

It feels like a lamb meeting a wolf, or a rabbit encountering a snake. The fear written into the genes makes creatures lose all ability to resist when facing natural enemies, and they can only kneel down and beg for mercy!

How to do?
How to do?
We can't sit still and wait for death!

Feng Ling tried her best to keep herself calm and think of countermeasures - she didn't really meet a natural enemy, she didn't need to be really scared, she just encountered a card with tricky abilities.

This ability obviously has a limited range, otherwise she would have knelt down outside the tower.

If you think about it more carefully, maybe there are not only range restrictions, but also other conditions, such as... you must be directly in front of the Queen Mother of the West?

If that was the case, she could summon the cat-spider and cat-owl into the tower and cover the eyes of the clay statue, even for just two seconds, which might help her leave the tower!
"keep Calm……"

Suddenly, Baozi's voice came from behind.

His voice was not far away, as if it was right at the door, and the tail tone trembled slightly, also under the influence of the pressure.

Feng Ling thought of his card, Lakshmi-sama, a goddess in Indian mythology, whose abilities tended towards mind control. Maybe she could compete with the Queen Mother of the West?
"Now listen to me... Your fear has been adjusted to the maximum threshold, and you can no longer control your bodies. I will try to calm your fear, and then release pheromones of peace and joy... The fear energy here is too strong, I'm not sure if I have enough energy, I can only try my best..." Baozi said in a very slow pace, "Seize the opportunity, and evacuate this tower immediately once you can move."

Feng Ling and Pei Xianjue remained kneeling on the ground, holding their breath and waiting for the opportunity.

It's so depressing.

So humiliating.

Fear was like a big hand, tightly grasping their hearts and strangling their throats!
When the atmosphere of peace and joy began to impact the fear all around, Feng Ling immediately felt relieved!
Just like dry, hardened cement suddenly melts and flows, even if the flow is very small, it brings life.

Feng Ling bit her lower lip hard, the smell of blood spread between her lips and teeth. With great ruthlessness and with the help of Baozi, she suddenly stood up, grabbed Pei Xianjue beside her, and quickly retreated several meters!
Baozi also hurriedly retreated outside the tower -

The three of them retreated so quickly that they staggered a few steps before they could steady themselves. Then they looked up at the ancient tower in front of them, with only lingering fear in their hearts.

Huangfu Miaomiao ran over anxiously, grabbed Feng Ling with one hand, and pointed at the big tree next to him with the other hand——

Two fox demons had climbed up the tree at some point and were picking fruit precariously.

And right below, the Minotaur was about to wake up.
