"Note that in this game of chess, once a piece dies, it's completely dead."
"The sixth gambler rolled 15, the highest possible number. The sixth gambler belongs to the white team, and the white team is the pursuer."
"Start now"
Gu Lingxiao felt extremely frustrated as he experienced the rapid regeneration ability he had regained.
The seven chess pieces were directly sent to the same world, and without hesitation, Gu Lingxiao began searching for the four black pieces.
He soon encountered a piece, but unfortunately it was on his own side.
Since T10 had previously confessed to him that he knew his two teammates, who were ostensibly allies, were actually enemy agents, he simply decided to ignore him.
After searching all day, Gu Lingxiao couldn't find any chess pieces except for the Poison Dragon's pieces. Instantly, Gu Lingxiao turned his attention to the so-called teammate who had been following behind him.
It looks like a beetle, and it's grinning with its mouth wide open, as if to say, "What's wrong, teammate?"
The next second, Gu Lingxiao charged out, yelling, "Damn it, die!"
He punched the carapace, cracking it open, but Gu Lingxiao's hand was also broken and mangled, though it was recovering rapidly, though not at the same speed as his previous super-fast regeneration.
Too slow. Before the injury could heal, another punch landed. This beetle had only been enhanced once, and it was a relatively low-level enhancement. Their racial talent was that they were durable and strong, but slow. Gu Lingxiao led them by the nose and beat them up.
Only after shattering the entire carapace did the carapace belatedly realize that the creature of unknown race in front of it truly intended to kill its teammate.
"No, no, no, we're teammates, you can't kill me!" The crustacean panicked.
"Who said I can't kill? Is it written in the rules? And even if it is written in the rules, so what? I'll kill you if I want to!" Gu Lingxiao's suppressed anger could not be vented. He had been searching all day and had not found anything, so his anger reached its peak.
"Die!"
Bang bang bang.
The bombardment was deafening, and the crustacean finally died.
The fifth gambler's face was extremely grim. "Can a piece killed by a teammate be revived?"
The black and white mist seemed pleased. "Of course not, the rules don't say you can't kill your teammates."
Once his injuries had mostly healed, Gu Lingxiao began searching for the remaining enemies.
Halfway through the second day, without the warning from the shelled creature, Gu Lingxiao ran into three creatures: the third gambler's pawn, the fourth gambler's pawn, and Gu Lingxiao's teammate.
The enemy hasn't strengthened their pieces. The two weakest pieces and the strongest remaining piece, the second gambler's piece, are searching for Gu Lingxiao.
Unfortunately, we still missed each other perfectly.
"Hurry up, I'll try to hold him off for a while," said the chess piece on Gu Lingxiao's side. Because the beetle creature had suddenly lost contact earlier, he had no idea what had happened.
That's when he finally said those words.
He would regret his choice next, because Gu Lingxiao didn't chase after the two enemy pieces at all, but instead attacked him relentlessly.
"What are you doing? We're teammates!"
"Wait, wait, we're on the same side, what are you trying to do?"
"No, you can't kill me, I don't want to die."
Although he knew from the beginning that death in this contest was real, he never imagined that he would die like this when he was on the chasing side, the fleeing side couldn't kill him, and most of the enemy were his own people.
He never imagined that his teammates would attack him, or even try to kill him.
It took a considerable amount of time to hunt down this creature, and there was absolutely no way to win the duel in the remaining time, but Gu Ling still relentlessly pursued the two weakest enemy pieces.
He was quickly found by the strongest second-ranked gambler piece and engaged in battle with Gu Lingxiao. However, Gu Lingxiao was like an unkillable cockroach. Not to mention that he was the one who was running away and could not kill Gu Lingxiao according to the rules, even if he could, he would not be able to kill him.
Its recovery ability is too strong, and the mental and physical strength that supports its recovery seems to be inexhaustible, making it extremely difficult to deal with.
Gu Lingxiao's eyes grew increasingly red, eventually radiating a red glow.
The attacks became increasingly frenzied, sometimes even using his most fatal weakness to block his attacks. Sometimes, when he was determined to kill Gu Lingxiao, a force would effortlessly stop him.
This resulted in the second gambler's pieces getting more and more injured.
"What kind of monster is this? It looks more like the Xenomorph than the Xenomorph itself!" Poison Dragon's comment echoed the thoughts of all the gamblers.
"T10, where did you find this monster?"
"You've met them before"
"How could that be? If I've seen it, how could I forget it?" Poison Dragon denied it outright. How could he forget such a crazy creature if he had seen it before?
He was also chasing Murphy at the time.
"You mean T9527?" Poison Dragon asked, his eyes wide.
"Are these newly created mechanical beings from your Mechanical Kingdom? They don't look like them at all!"
The second gambler questioned, "This is absolutely impossible. How could someone become this strong with such a small increase in strength? Did something go wrong?"
The black and white mist said, "Racial characteristics, just like the defense of the beetle race."
The aliens began to panic. If all their pawns died, wouldn't they have gained nothing from using their gambling abilities at such a high cost, and even lost their own lives and the lives of another collaborator? Although they could be resurrected with the Venerable's Token, their revenge plan would be completely ruined. Moreover, the major powers like the Mechanical Kingdom would only pay more attention to this area in the future. Would they have to wait hundreds of years until they returned to a time when the country didn't pay much attention to them before trying to find a solution again?
Fortunately, time ran out before Gu Lingxiao managed to kill the three pieces.
Having recovered from his rage, the anger in his heart subsided slightly.
"The second round of betting is over; Black wins."
A chip materialized in front of T10 and flew towards the second gambler. Poison Dragon tried to grab it, since he had also placed a bet, but unfortunately, the other party had placed a larger bet, and the chip passed through his hand and was grabbed by the second gambler.
Although they won, they were not happy at all, having lost three pieces.
"The death of the fifth and sixth gambler's pieces will directly bind them to the only surviving piece on their side."
This increases both the risks and opportunities; if the black king is drawn, they will lose outright.
"Then the third match will begin."
The game involves a life-or-death battle where each side sends one black and one white piece to fight.
"Please begin placing your bets. White will go first this time."
t10 randomly threw in an item, knowing that the other party would most likely raise the bet. He would see what they bet on then. If it was really what he thought, he would still have to bet. Giving up was useless; he would lose everything to the other party anyway.
