Treasure-Snatching Chessboard
"I hope you can return with a full harvest this time." The Medicine Saint Shaoyao stood in a corner, gazing at the now calm Chu River Han Boundary, her eyes filled with boundless anticipation.
The fact that the Medicine Saint Shaoyao, gave up her chance to enter the Great Desolation Relic and instead gave it to her newly accepted disciple has undoubtedly caused quite a stir in the Great Wilderness.
Unlike others, the Medicine Saint Shaoyao has already entered the Great Wilderness three times. If she enters again this time, Peony will tie with the record holder for the most entries into the Great Desolation Relic in history, the Emperor Chu the Conqueror!
Unexpectedly, the Peony gave up this opportunity.
However, this was just a minor incident; everyone was more concerned about Ma Feifei's group, which consisted of seven people, six of whom went inside.
On the entire continent, only the Vast Academy possesses such a profound foundation. After all, the Vast Academy is the main force controlling the Great Desolation Relic, which is why the Vast Academy always has the most people entering the ruins.
Originally, it was thought that there would be no surprises this time, but it turned out that the group of young people went in the most, while the Vast Academy, apart from the Grand Dean Cang Lan, could only stand outside.
This year's Great Desolation Relic saw the Vast Academy set a new historical low.
"Could it be that someone else snatched it away?" This was everyone's guess, and in fact, they were right.
As for the Third Dean from the Vast Academy, Zhen Liang (Third Dean), Sea Emperor (Fourth Dean), and Parasitic Sea (Sixth Dean), an awkward expression flashed across their faces. They silently turned their heads, trying to hide their embarrassment.
While the outside world was speculating about this matter, things were in complete chaos inside the Great Desolation Relic.
"Where am I? Who am I? What is this thing?"
Ma Feifei stood in a maze-like passageway, looking at himself dressed in a white robe with a rooster hat on his head.
In the middle of the robe, there was a large car print.
"Am I Role Play the role of a 'chariot' in chess?" Ma Feifei rubbed his belly and muttered to himself curiously.
Then, a sly smile appeared on Ma Feifei's face.
Great car!
The chariot in Chinese chess is incredibly powerful. It can move freely regardless of distance, and most importantly, it can move backward. It's a formidable general in Chinese chess.
"What is this box?" Ma Feifei picked up the box in front of him, trying to open it, but found that it had no opening and could not be opened by Superpower.
The box is square and colorful, with the word "treasure" written on it.
"Could there be a treasure hidden inside?" Ma Feifei was overjoyed and immediately bit down on the box with his teeth. Several teeth marks appeared on the box, but the treasure chest remained unmoved.
"Pah!" Ma Feifei rubbed his teeth; it hurt terribly.
"Congratulations on passing the level! You are the car. Please protect yourself and your treasure chest. If your treasure chest is taken, you can choose to continue or be eliminated. If your car is killed, you die instantly."
Suddenly, a sentence popped into Ma Feifei's mind, which made Ma Feifei realize what was happening.
Before Ma Feifei could speak, the voice came again, but this time it didn't appear in his mind, but above the maze.
"Welcome to the Great Desolation Relic. I am the master of this ruin; you may call me Qi Xie."
"There's someone here!" Ma Feifei was startled upon hearing this.
"The place you are in now is called the Treasure-Snatching Chessboard. The thirty-two of you will be divided into teams, each with your own identity. Use these identities to fight against the Treasure-Snatching Team that I have set up." The Qi Xie voice continued. Ma Feifei sensed something was wrong and found that there was no emotional fluctuation in the voice, just like a robot.
"These words must have been stored using some kind of secret method, and they will be triggered once the Great Desolation Relic open," Ma Feifei asserted immediately.
"Please remember, if the Treasure-Snatching Team kills the 'General,' all members are eliminated."
"Now, I declare the treasure hunt game officially open. Please proceed according to the rules."
"Buzz~!"
As the last sound faded, the entire maze erupted in a buzzing sound.
At the same time, a huge transparent chessboard appeared to Ma Feifei's right, with some small markings next to it.
On the chessboard, there are red dots, blue dots, and black dots.
Ma Feifei glanced at the markings beside him and realized that the black dots represented himself, the blue dots represented friendly forces, and the red dots represented enemies.
All the red dots are on the opposite side, and they're now surging towards him.
The blue dots on Ma Feifei's side were a bit messy, scattered in all directions. Ma Feifei noticed that among these blue dots, one was more than twice the size of the others.
"I suppose this is our 'general'?" Ma Feifei looked at the blue dot, tilted his head and thought for a moment, then decided to run and find this 'general'.
In Chinese chess, the 'general' and 'king' need to be protected. Once one of them is captured, the game ends. Ma Feifei understands this.
I'm not good at chess, but I can at least protect the king by staying close to it, right?
This is Ma Feifei's tactic: a defensive tactic!
Thinking of this, Ma Feifei picked up the box and ran towards the big blue dot.
While the horse Ma Feifei around, the player also observed the virtual chessboard that was following them. It showed that the black dots were rapidly moving towards the large blue dot, and not only that, some other small blue dots were also moving towards the large blue dot.
"It seems there are quite a few people who think the same way as me!" Ma Feifei thought to herself with satisfaction.
Suddenly, Ma Feifei stopped.
"Thump! The treasure chest has been stolen from the warrior. The warrior has chosen to be eliminated, and the treasure chest belongs to all."
The empty maze echoed with the voice of the Qi Xie, causing all the blue dots on the chessboard to pause.
"What does this mean? They've taken the warrior's treasure chest?" Ma Feifei was dumbfounded. What kind of move was this?
"Thump! The treasure chest has been stolen from the warrior. The warrior has chosen to be eliminated, and the treasure chest belongs to all."
Another voice came, and Ma Feifei was so startled that he dropped the treasure chest.
Damn, both of my 'guards' were wiped out by my own 'general'!
"Is this how you play chess?" Ma Feifei was a little confused. He took out the book "Dream into Divine Machine" from his pocket and examined the rules.
"No way!" Ma Feifei closed the chess manual, looking at the two blue dots closest to the 'general' that had disappeared, completely bewildered.
"Thump! The horse's treasure chest has been stolen, but the horse chooses to continue fighting."
Another sound rang out, Ma Feifei only saw a small blue dot on the chessboard rapidly moving in the opposite direction of the 'general'...
"My god! Is this guy crazy? He even steals our own people's treasure chest!" Ma Feifei picked up the treasure chest again, silently turned around and ran away.
A madman like him is not to be trifled with.
