Chapter 20: Deception

The two of us were struggling to run up, when suddenly I heard a roar, and I looked back and saw that it was the cat man.

Although he had been sucked dry, he was still able to move for some reason, and his thin face pounced on me with his mouth wide open.

Before I could make any moves, Leon was already waving his hands, and the cat man was soon wrapped in a water balloon. I thought to myself, that's not going to work, he's already a dry corpse, so he shouldn't breathe. Sure enough, the cat man struggled wildly in the water balloon.

Still before I could make any moves, Leon's hands had already changed positions, and the water balloon was compressing. The cat-man's expression became very painful.

I said to Leon, "This thing is tough, can you handle it?"

Leon nodded, not speaking.

Then I saw that the cat man in the water balloon was slowly compressed into a ball, and it would not move anymore. Leon retracted his hand and kicked it over, sending the cat-man ball flying.

Leon and I looked at each other, then ran up. I didn't meet any worse pools or anyone in between.

Soon, the tower turned purple and the plank path disappeared.

Leon said to me at this time, "What do you think of me?"

I was confused, but I replied, "Very good, a good partner, a good friend."

He suddenly smiled ghostly.

"Then you will die!"

He waved his hand, and I was suddenly caught in a large water balloon, and I kept slapping the edge of the water balloon, but to no avail. I had no idea why Leon was hurting me again.

I shouted why.

He said that this is not the first time he has climbed this tower, and every time he gets here, he can't go up, because here some special conditions are required, and a person's soul can only be sacrificed to go up. He was also deceived at first, but fortunately, his strength was strong enough to successfully kill the other party here. Later, he encountered another problem on it, so he came down first to find a way to solve it. After he thought about it, he happened to meet me again. In a foreign land, fellow villagers must be the best to deceive.

I felt a strong sense of pressure, and even though I didn't have to breathe now, I felt very suffocated.

I was pressed against the wall of the tower, and with a "poof" sound, I entered the tower.

I thought I was going to die, after all, it was possible that the inside of the tower was solid, and there was very little space. Especially after the beginning of the stone section. But I didn't expect that I was lucky to have space here.

But suddenly I heard a buzzing sound, a wave of sound that seemed to shatter me.

My body was shaking, and every part of my body was wailing. But soon, the sound wave stopped. A burst of red light swept over me, and then I saw a lot of things that glowed like scales suddenly appeared in front of me. The scales swirled and flew around and melted into my left arm.

My entire left arm instantly became covered in scales, and I felt as if my left arm had changed back into a flesh arm, and I could feel the blood flowing in every vein, and the sound of muscles vibrating.

But my left hand did not return to the flesh.

It's still the same mechanical structure, with a light curtain looming on it, and a lot of functions waiting for me to discover. The same is true of this body, there are too many functions that I won't use. It sounds very sad that a person cannot fully use his body.
