Chapter 111 Chess Game

Tao Yunwan watched Yuan Feng run away, frowned slightly, and said nothing.

The combination of four people is just a temporary cooperative relationship without any restrictions. Even if someone quits midway, she can't say anything.

No one paid much attention to Yuan Feng's little episode, and their attention was still on how to get through the mechanism in front of them.

Soon, some people, relying on their own various means, began to try to break through by brute force.

But they all failed, but no one died.

Mu Yuntian watched as more and more people tried and discovered more and more mechanisms. This should have been a happy thing for him.

But he couldn't be happy, on the contrary his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

The mechanisms in these squares are not fixed. For example, the first trap that Yang Shen stepped on, when a second person with a fire-proof weapon tried to try it, the mechanism inside changed into a row of rotating iron wheels.

If that person hadn't reacted quickly, he would have become the next Yang Shen.

The mechanism was unpredictable, but thanks to the large number of people and magical weapons, someone finally walked out dozens of blocks, but stepped on a small round platform and was teleported back to the starting point, thus failing.

This blow did not discourage everyone. Instead, it made them feel relieved. The small circular platform was their retreat, and they no longer had to worry about not being able to return halfway.

Yuan Feng ignored everyone's attempts and focused on the chessboard in front of him.

He ran here with the purpose of looking at the chessboard.

Yuan Feng kept looking up at the squares, then at the chessboard, alternating between the two. Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He found it!

There is a refreshing feeling of parting the clouds.

The secret to passing the level lies in this chessboard.

Yuan Feng looked up and saw that among the countless squares, there was another square where the items were either black or white. Of course, the surrounding objects were also black and white. The difference was that there was also gray mixed around, so the black and white were not pure.

If you don't look carefully, you really can't see this abruptness.

After a detailed comparison, Yuan Feng finally confirmed that the square layout of that piece was exactly the same as the layout on the chessboard in front of him.

Black pieces correspond to black items, and white pieces correspond to white items.

That area is a reflection of the chess game on the chessboard.

After discovering this, Yuan Feng was not happy for long.

The reason is simple. He doesn't understand Go. Even if he sees the trick, he doesn't know how to lay it out.

Seeing that hope was right before his eyes, he naturally didn't want to give up.

His eyes naturally turned to Tao Yunwan and the other two who were trying to break through.

Since it is a cooperative relationship, asking them to come over is the right choice.

Yuan Feng walked over quickly and told them his discovery.

After hearing his words, the three of them frowned: "Chess game?"

"How come the method to pass the level is inside the chessboard?"

Seeing that the three had not yet mastered the correct way to pass this secret realm, Yuan Feng had no choice but to explain: "Each level of the test set by Immortal Lu Yang seems difficult, but he secretly buried the method to pass it. It depends on whether you and I can find it. Just like the ruins you found, the method to pass the first level is in them."

As if to verify Yuan Feng's words, a contender suddenly flew into the air.

Looking closely, I saw that he had a hook in his hand. The hook could be extended and retracted freely. The hook was hooked on the pillar and flew away with him.

Everyone was sighing as the first person to pass the test appeared.

Only Lu Qing slapped his thigh in regret.

"That hook lock, I had a chance to buy it!"

As soon as he said that, the three of them realized that the grappling hook was also picked up from the ruins. Lu Qing had the opportunity to exchange it for an explosive talisman, but he felt that the grappling hook was useless, so he gave up.

Now that I see the hook working, all I have left is regret.

Seeing the man flying out, the three finally believed Yuan Feng's words.

"Let's go and take a look. It doesn't matter a little more time." Tao Yunwan took the lead.

Seeing the chessboard, Yuan Feng pointed to the area he discovered.

The three of them showed shocked expressions.

"This couplet is indeed strange." Tao Yunwan lowered her head and looked at the chessboard again. "From the perspective of the chessboard, this is an endgame. White is at a disadvantage and has few options."

Lu Qing nodded and agreed with it.

Yuan Feng and Nu Shi looked at each other and looked away awkwardly.

There was no other reason. Neither of them knew how to play chess and couldn't fit in with Tao Yunwan and Lu Qing's conversation.

Tao Yunwan and Lu Qing had a heated discussion about the endgame.

Yuan Feng was confused during the discussion, but fortunately he understood the last sentence.

"It's not that there are not many ways to survive in this chess game, but there is only one!" Lu Qing said firmly.

Tao Yunwan nodded in agreement with his suggestion. She placed her slender fingers on an empty space outside the chessboard and then moved towards the chessboard: "We are here. We need to make the first move here."

Lu Qing continued to point at several places: "Then go here, here, and here!"

“Finally, I ended up here…!”

"Breaking!"

The two spoke in unison, pointing at the same place.

"Good!" Yuan Feng didn't understand, but was greatly shocked and wanted to applaud the two of them.

"So we can set off now?" Yuan Feng asked tentatively.

Tao Yunwan shook her head: "The solution to the chess game has been found, but there are still five squares ahead that have no clear moves, and there is no clue to the mechanism. I can't get it on the board, so there is no way to break the game."

"It's only five grids, force your way in!"

The three of them looked at Nu Shi at the same time and realized, yes, only five grids.

These aren't mechanisms that will kill you, so as long as you're careful and react quickly, you can still get through the five grids.

"Who will come first?" Tao Yunwan asked.

Yuan Feng looked at the three people and realized that there was no advantage in going from behind. These mechanisms were all random and there was no way to learn from other people's experience.

"Let me do it." After hiding for so long, it's time to be brave.

The three were a little surprised to see him coming first, but they didn't say much, just reminded him: "Be careful."

Yuan Feng nodded and looked at the grids. Each grid was about five meters in size. With his jumping ability, five meters was easy, and six meters was not a problem. But if he jumped over two grids, he would not be able to reach it.

He can't reach it, but the scorpion can. It has the ability to sneak attack and strong jumping performance. Jumping over ten meters is not a problem for it.

Being able to cross two grids at once means the danger is reduced by two-fifths.

As long as you land safely, you can jump again and even get directly onto the chessboard.

Yuan Feng took a deep breath, prepared himself, slapped the scorpion's tail, and flew out with him like a cannonball.

The scorpion's tail carried him in an arc in the air.

As soon as I landed, I heard a cracking sound and a bad premonition came to my mind.

Yuan Feng was still holding on to a lucky hope, hoping that there was no mechanism in this box, but his hope was obviously not realized.

Several sharp spikes shot out at the same time, piercing the scorpion tightly. Yuan Feng was on the scorpion and was not affected.

But his heart ached. This scorpion was newly made and it was pierced by the iron thorn before it could even get warm. How could he not feel heartbroken?

The stab was powerful enough, but fortunately it didn't pierce the core. Yuan Feng quickly leaned over, took out his flying sword and slashed downwards, cutting off the iron spike. Then he flapped his tail and the scorpion rose up again.

The injured scorpion's jumping ability was significantly reduced. It jumped over two items easily, but almost failed to reach the chessboard area in the second jump.

But fortunately, everything was fine in the end and I got to the chessboard area, the first place where Tao Yunwan had mentioned to place the piece.
