Yun Jianyue's ears suddenly twitched, and she revealed a look of sudden realization: "I know, the answer is human. In childhood, they crawl on the ground like babies, in middle age they walk on two legs, and in old age they need a cane, so they have three legs!"
The sphinx looked surprised and gave her a reluctant look: "I guess you pass."
Then it suddenly appeared in front of Xie Daoyun and said with a look of pity, "Aren't you very proud of yourself for helping her answer the question correctly? What a pity! If she hadn't been able to answer the question, I would have asked you again, and you would have passed the test easily. But now you've put yourself in danger."
Xie Daoyun's face turned pale; she still felt a sense of fear towards this unknown and inexplicable existence: "You...you can ask."
Yun Jianyue felt somewhat apologetic, as the other party had only been trying to help her.
At first, I thought this girl was a burden, but I never expected that I would be the burden.
She pondered how she could protect Xie Daoyun if she couldn't answer the question later.
Then the monster spoke again: "It's smart of you to answer my question just now, but I'll have to test you with something difficult."
Upon hearing her words, Yun Jianyue's heart sank.
The monster seemed to be deep in thought, suddenly...
His eyes lit up: "I've got it!"
With a casual gesture, a chessboard appeared in the air. This chessboard was very strange, with only one row and many squares from left to right. The first square on the left had a chess piece carved with the image of the monster itself, and the rightmost square had a base in the shape of a pyramid.
The monster chuckled and said, "The rules of this game are very simple. We take turns moving the pieces, each move being 3 to 5 spaces. Whoever places the piece in the rightmost square first wins. If you win, you pass the level; if I win, I take your soul. That's fair, isn't it?"
Yun Jianyue quickly scanned the chessboard, thinking that the last move to land on the pyramid square must be the second-to-last move, which must be placed six squares away from the pyramid. This way, no matter how many squares the monster moves, it will not be able to reach the last square directly, allowing Xie Daoyun to reach the last square directly.
And so on...
Her mind raced with calculations, until she was dizzy and disoriented, feeling that something was wrong here or there.
Ugh, all I want to do is fight! This kind of mentally taxing thing is so annoying!
While Yun Jianyue was going crazy, Xie Daoyun quickly calculated that the chessboard had 36 squares from left to right...
At this point, the monster said, "If there are no objections, then I'll be leaving now?"
Just as they were about to make their move, Xie Daoyun hurriedly said, "Wait!"
“That’s not fair. Since you set the rules of the game and have already gained the upper hand, it’s fair that I should go first,” Xie Daoyun said quickly.
The monster paused for a moment, then nodded: "You're quite a clever little girl. I won't take advantage of you. You can go now, after all, I value fairness the most."
Xie Daoyun took a deep breath, walked over, picked up the leftmost chess piece, and moved it three squares to the right.
Although the chessboard was also virtual, the texture felt surprisingly real. However, the monster-like chess pieces were so creepy that she recoiled as if electrocuted after making her move.
"Hmm, interesting." The monster chuckled and moved its piece three spaces.
The two then took turns playing, and their speed increased.
Yun Jianyue stared wide-eyed from the side. After all, she was a clever person and immediately observed the pattern. No matter how many moves Xie Daoyun made, she always subtracted the number of moves from the opponent's by 8. In this way, a game of chess was quickly finished.
Finally, Xie Daoyun placed the chess piece on the rightmost pyramid: "I won!"
A confident gleam flashed across his face.
"How hateful!" the monster cursed a few times, as if affected by some kind of rule, its whole body twisted and finally disappeared completely.
Yun Jianyue couldn't help but glance at Xie Daoyun, thinking that this woman looked gentle and weak on the outside, but was actually incredibly clever. She would have to remind Honglei to be careful in the future, because she might be sold out by Xie Daoyun and still be counting the money for her.
On the other side of this world, Zhao Hao quickly opened his eyes, rapidly surveyed his surroundings, took a deep breath, and then revealed a look of wild joy on his face. This was not the void that the High Priest had mentioned; something must have gone wrong somewhere.
Hahaha, I am indeed the chosen one of Heaven, and my life is not meant to end!
At this moment, several groans were heard, and two people not far away slowly woke up. They were Li Changsheng and Xuan Bajing.
The two were just feeling lucky to have escaped with their lives when they saw Zhao Hao the next second.
Their smiles froze instantly.
