Chapter 60 The Dragon and the Chess Player
On the B deck of the Titanic, countless dark blue lines divided the 35-meter aisle into six or four chessboards.
"hiss--"
All the players were stunned instantly.
They seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves that drowned out the world, the thud of steel equipment hitting the ground, the majestic roar from the Middle Ages, and the violent bells ringing heavily in the center of the church.
At this time, the God's perspective brought by the passive skill "Chess Master" overlaps with Anson Deer's vision.
Now he can see everything in this corridor.
Anson Lu raised his dark brown eyes and looked down at the players in the spacious corridor to make his vision clearer.
Time becomes especially slow at this moment.
“Crash——”
“Pah—”
The sound of the sea waves hitting the hull lingered in my ears extremely clearly.
A mage player was about to raise his right palm to cast a fireball spell...
An archer player picked up the special longbow in his hand, pulled the bowstring, and the invisible energy arrow aimed at him...
The warrior players jumped up and rushed towards him in two steps...
The assassin player held the military dagger tightly, leaned against the wall and approached Anson Deer, seemingly intending to use the skill 'Shadow Stab'...
Anson Deer can clearly see the position of each player, the small movements they are making, and the pre-casting movements of their skills.
All the details were clearly recorded in his eyes.
Therefore, as long as they are still in Anson Deer's territory, almost no one can pose a threat to him.
"Don't panic, I've seen his skills on the Internet. He has to summon chess pieces to fight!"
"His teammates are not here, so hurry up and charge now!"
"Don't waste time, don't let him release the chess piece!"
The warriors among the players took the lead in the charge, and the mages cast the 'Wind Spell' on each warrior, causing their speed to increase dramatically.
Strong figures were running in the aisle like wolves and tigers.
Except Xiong Haodong.
"I'm only level 2, come on guys, I'm just standing by to gain experience."
Brother Haodong quickly opened the entrance to a restaurant on the left, and then nimbly rushed in.
At this moment, Anson Deer began to read:
"Place the stone statue of the knight, E2 grid."
"Deploy explosive rats, E6 grid."
tread……
Tap tap...
Tap tap tap…
There was a rush of horse hoofbeats.
Then, the stone statue of the knight stood in front of Anson Deer, with flags fluttering and spears dancing forward, making waves of cracking wind.
At this time, all players in this corridor are located between E3 and E5.
In other words, they are on the same line as the Knight Statue and the Exploding Rat.
The exploding rat was behind them, and the knight statue was in front of them.
Anson Deer also calculated that the terrain of the corridor was relatively narrow, and it would be difficult for those archers and mages to release their skills, otherwise they would most likely accidentally injure their teammates.
At the same time, he is going to play a trick.
This trick is a combo that I thought of during the holidays, but I have never put it into practice. But now I have the opportunity to put it into practice.
An opportunity that was exactly what he had imagined.
Anson Deer seized the opportunity and issued an order:
"Knight statue, aim at the front of the aisle and use the skill - Charge, and stop at E6."
A cold voice fell.
"hiss--"
The stone statue of the knight rushed forward, the wild horse roared and galloped, the knight and the horse under him seemed to be integrated into one, they dragged the dark light, rumbling forward like a black train!
[Skill name: Charge]
[Skill Effect: Enter the "Unstoppable" state within two seconds, sprint forward on horseback for a certain distance, and attract all enemies along the way to the end point of the charge.]
This was a perfect time to release the attack. In order to conceal their figures, the assassins hid in a straight line behind the warriors. The priests, mages, and archers also gathered together.
Therefore, the charge of the knight statue can perfectly attract them together and take them to the destination mentioned by Anson Deer - E6 grid.
And in the E6 box, there was a gift that Anson Deer had arranged earlier, waiting for them.
The name of the gift,
It's called Exploding Rat.
[Chess name: Exploding Rat]
[Chess Skills:
1. Sleeping (This chess piece can only live underground, and from the moment it is deployed, it will remain in a sleeping state. During the sleeping period, it will restrain all its breath and will not wake up until the enemy approaches).
2. Explosion (once awakened from sleep, it will explode immediately). 】
“Huff—”
Dragging a beam of dark light, the stone knight rushed all the way, sucking all the players along the way onto the surface of the horse's body. They were completely unable to escape this powerful suction force.
"What's this!"
"Horse, the horse is dragging us!"
"We can't move, Captain!!"
The dark light became brighter and brighter, which meant that more and more players were being sucked onto the horse's body. The horse's hooves stomped the ground wildly, dragging all of them to the end of the aisle.
And there, a yawning sound was heard.
"ha--"
The exploding rats emerged from the ground.
"shake--"
The moment the mole saw the light, it screamed, its head shook violently, a rich red color rose to its face, and violent steam swept out!
"Bang!!!"
A deafening explosion sounded at the end of the corridor, almost drowning out the sound of the tide and the players' wailing.
[Total health of player group: 100% → 15%]
[15 players have died in the attack, and the kill count has been updated. ]
[Enemy Kill Count Panel]
[NO.1——Anson Lu (former chess player): 15 kills]
[NO.2——Uesugi Asuka (Scarlet Dragon Wing): 0 kills]
"Oh my god." Anson Lu raised his eyebrows. "The explosive rat has such high damage, it's worthy of being a one-shot chess piece."
The assassins, priests, warriors, and archers who were almost dragged away by the knight statue were all killed in the explosion.
Only a few higher-level warrior players survived by relying on their skill - [Iron Wall].
Moreover, many archers, seeing that the situation was not good, activated the skill [Sprint] in advance, rushed to the stairs at the end of the aisle, and ran upwards, so they were able to escape.
But Anson Deer knew that these people would die.
Moreover, it will be a miserable death.
Because in the bird's-eye view brought by Qi Jun, a red young dragon was coming over from the stairs at the end of the aisle.
This two-and-a-half-meter-long young dragon was undoubtedly the transformation of Uesugi Asuka.
The archers running along the staircase and the warriors who were struggling to survive would inevitably encounter the red dragon blocking their way above during their escape.
One can imagine how desperate they felt.
"roar!!!"
A brutal dragon roar was heard, and flames suddenly flashed at the end of the aisle, then went out in an instant, and a terrifying dragon shadow flashed across the wall.
"We agreed not to steal other people's heads..." Anson Lu curled his lips, "Are all Japanese girls so untrustworthy?"
But there's nothing I can do.
If Anson Deer wanted to chase them, it would take a lot of time. After all, those archers ran out of his chess range, and he couldn't possibly clean up the mess with his bare hands.
So, it can only be left to Asuka.
[Kill count panel has been updated]
[NO.1——Anson Lu (former chess player): 15 kills]
[NO.2——Uesugi Asuka (Scarlet Dragon Wing): 7 kills]
[Reminder: There is only one enemy player left. ]
Anson Lu listened to the system prompt and shrugged his shoulders.
As for who the last remaining player is, it must be very clear.
After all, the funny expression of that creature covering its mouth tightly, afraid that its tail would be exposed, was clearly reflected in Anson Deer's God's perspective.
“There’s one left.”
The scarlet young dragon slowly walked into the aisle, staring directly at Anson Deer with scarlet eyes, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice:
"Who is it?"
"It is the moral benchmark of our Shangshi City, the light of Shangshi--" Anson Lu drawled out his voice.
"Huh, Upper Stone Light?"
The young dragon's brow ridges are slightly curved downward, as if it is frowning.
"Yes, he has won the 'Three Good Students' award issued by the school many times, but he always pushed the cleaning duty to me, saying that poor students don't need to stay in the classroom. He is very noble."
Anson Deer nodded and walked into a restaurant on the left.
Asuka Uesugi slowly returned to her human form.
The strange thing is that she was still wearing clothes - a red coat, matched with the uniform of an American university, and her hairstyle was not affected at all.
"Where are the people? Where are the people? Where are the people?" Anson Deer muttered.
He turned on the light, trying not to look under one of the tables, cleared his throat, and said:
"Oh, who is this remaining deserter? Will he be put on the 'international player public blacklist' by other players?"
Seeing that Brother Haodong did not respond, Anson Lu paused and continued:
"Oh my god, this is going to be troublesome. There will be no players to cling to him. How pitiful."
Uesugi Asuka tilted her head slightly and made a puzzled sound at Anson's confusing behavior:
"……ha?"
Anson Lu ignored Asuka and spoke almost word by word:
"Well, after all, no one likes deserters. Those deserters who have nothing to do in normal times and criticize others from a moral high ground, but do nothing in actual combat, are so annoying—"
Asuka Uesugi hugged her shoulders, looked at Anson Lu like an idiot, frowned slightly and asked:
"You, what are you doing?"
Anson Deer turned his head away and asked in disbelief:
"Wait, sis, how did you change back from your dragon form with clothes on?"
Logically speaking, given the size of a dragon like that, it would have torn through the clothes humans wear long ago.
Fortunately, Anson Lu still had expectations for this. As a result, Asuka Uesugi's clothes looked completely intact and it didn't look like she had changed clothes.
All in all, it's very magical.
"This is a game." Uesugi Asuka said disdainfully, "So, this is the game setting. Otherwise, do I have to change into a new set of clothes every time I turn into a dragon? That would be too much trouble."
"Oh, that's true."
"Oh?" Asuka's pretty face was full of disdain. "What are you expecting?"
"No, I'm just afraid that you will be disheveled after you turn back into a human, and a player from Shangshi will see this and spread rumors that I did something unscrupulous to a Japanese girl I don't even know."
Anson Lu mentioned the words "Shangshi Player" with an emphasis on his tone.
"Player Kamiishi, is he the same person as the 'Kamiishi no Hikaru' you mentioned?" Asuka frowned.
"Yes, my idol."
"Where is he?"
"Oh my god, you are not going to kill him with a breath of fire, that would be too cruel!" Anson Lu was shocked.
Asuka Uesugi began to get impatient. She said without question:
"No, we're already in a game, can you stop being so childish? Where is he?"
"I have always been a kind person and I cannot stand seeing this kind of thing. Brother Dong is my fellow villager after all."
Anson Lu wiped his tears with his hands and said sadly:
"I think we can send him back to Shangshi City in a painless way."
"How is it painless?"
"Wait for me to set up a formation." Anson Lu raised two fingers and said seriously:
"The stone statue of the king is placed right in front of me, facing the table."
“?” Asuka Uesugi’s face was full of question marks.
Anson Deer leaned close to her ear and said something.
"Oh, then you are really boring." Asuka Uesugi raised her eyebrows and curled the corners of her mouth slightly, "But it seems quite interesting."
The stone statue of the king then appeared and pointed the scepter at the table where Anson's deer was pointing.
Then, Anson Deer took a deep breath, raised his voice, and growled at the top of his lungs:
"King statue, aim at Xiong Haodong's butt and use your skill - Blue Rainbow King Flash!!!"
"Fuck! Stop it!!!"
Xiong Haodong crawled and rolled out from under the dining table.
Asuka narrowed her eyes, "Is this true?"
Anson Deer spread his hands, "Really?"
"No, brother, please don't!"
Xiong Haodong's back was soaked with cold sweat. He lay on the ground, gasping for breath, still in fear.
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Anson Lu's ears.
[Since not all six pieces of the Blue Flame chess set are present, the Blue Rainbow bond is not activated, and the skill Blue Rainbow King Flash cannot be used.]
"Brother Dong, we are classmates after all." Anson Lu tilted his head and said, "Tell me, how do you want to die?"
"boring."
Asuka Uesugi suddenly frowned.
Her body swelled violently, and in an instant she turned into a seven-foot-long red young dragon. She moved her claws and approached Xiong Haodong step by step like the most ferocious beast.
Xiong Haodong was almost scared to death, "Don't come over! I'll jump down by myself, I'll jump down by myself!"
"Damn, Brother Dong, drowning is very painful, you don't deserve it!" Anson Lu echoed.
"Then...then what do you want me to do?"
"How about..." Anson Lu paused and said seriously, "How about letting her spit fire to death on you?"
"I'm sorry, I'd better jump down."
Xiong Haodong wanted to cry but had no tears, and spoke weakly.
"Such a noise..." The young dragon approached Xiong Haodong, grabbed his leader with his claws, and dragged him up, "Are all of you who climb the stone like this? Stupid and dumb."
Anson Lu said calmly: "I, a simple and kind-hearted resident of Shangshi, am offended. Please don't make fun of me. Even if you are Japanese, I will not forgive you."
"Wait!" Xiong Haodong's pupils contracted, "We can talk it out, don't do this!"
Anson Lu hugged his shoulders and asked in a cold voice:
"Then Dong Ge, let me ask you, did you create an 'anti-special sequence player website' on Weibo and Twitter to stir up conflicts between ordinary players and special players?"
That website is pretty popular.
It is mainly the powerlessness of ordinary players and the superiority of special players. The difference between the two creates these contradictions that will ferment sooner or later.
And because of the existence of that website, the real information of many special sequence players has been revealed one after another.
As a result, they are cyberbullied, harassed, and physically attacked by ordinary players.
If this continues, Anson Lu is sure that many special sequence players will lose control and go berserk at all costs.
The information was sent to him by Urushihara Ritsu.
Crow said that the founder of the website was in Shangshi City, and his name was 'Xiong Haodong', and asked Anson Lu to come forward to resolve the issue when he had time to prevent the conflict from continuing to develop.
Anson Lu had been busy with Yuri's affairs before, so he didn't deal with this matter.
It just so happened that this copy was assigned to Xiong Haodong.
"oh?"
The red dragon's claws paused, its scarlet eyes were filled with anger, and its majestic voice sounded like a church bell.
"You, have you ever done something like this?"
This Japanese guy, no, this Japanese dragon has great acting skills... Anson Deer thought in surprise as he watched this scene.
Although he asked Asuka Uesugi to cooperate with him and scare Xiong Haodong, he did not expect that this young lady would cooperate so well.
The follow-up reading next Monday (the 7th) will determine whether I can be recommended by Sanjiang.
This can be said to be the biggest new book recommendation on Qidian.
I'm just a little bit away (crying)
Please help me!
