Chapter 949: Chess Dimension
The body of the Divine Rune Heavy Armor Warrior was torn into pieces and was directly blown to pieces. At the same time, a dimensional creature that looked like a little squirrel fell down and stood on the ruins created by the Divine Rune Heavy Armor Warrior.
"Oh my god, that little squirrel is so fierce?" Li Xuan's eyes almost popped out.
He had seen a warrior with divine rune heavy armor. Although it was only at the epic level, its defense was extremely strong. It was not easy for a mythical creature with weaker attack power to break through his divine rune heavy armor with one blow, let alone directly blow it to pieces like this. Only a powerful mythical creature like Tyrant Behemoth could achieve this.
But this little squirrel looks inconspicuous at all, but unexpectedly it possesses such terrifying power.
Zhou Wen also found it a little unbelievable, and immediately used Di Ting to observe the little squirrel. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like a dimensional creature that could kill a divine pattern heavy armored warrior with one blow.
"Something is wrong. Maybe it's not that the little squirrel is strong, but the taboos of this dimension are strong." Zhou Wen said, staring at the little squirrel on the other side.
Li Xuan suddenly seemed to have thought of something and said to Zhou Wen, "Old Zhou, your detection ability is strong. Can you see if there are any other dimensional creatures in the straight line behind that little squirrel?"
Zhou Wen nodded, and his listening ability expanded. Sure enough, he found that in the distance, there was a gray rabbit squatting there motionless, and it and the little squirrel formed a very straight line.
Zhou Wen told Li Xuan this result, and Li Xuan immediately exclaimed, "I understand. The taboos in this dimension may be related to chess."
"Chess?" Zhou Wen didn't know how to play chess, so he asked Li Xuan what he meant.
Li Xuan explained, "If you don't play chess, you'd be able to figure it out easily. According to the rules of chess, different pieces have different moves. The knight moves in a straight line, and the elephant moves in a field line; these are the most representative. For example, I can only move diagonally. I suspect it's one of these two pieces, or another type of soldier. Little Yanyan can only move in a straight line; it could be a chariot or a cannon. You can only move in a straight line and can't retreat, so you must be a pawn in chess, only able to move forward and not backward."
Feng Qiuyan thought for a moment and said, "What the president said makes sense. If this is truly a dimension based on chess rules, then that would explain why a small squirrel could instantly kill a heavily armored warrior with divine runes. Because in chess rules, all chess pieces are disposable. Regardless of their strength, they will die if they are hit."
"You don't understand the rules of chess. Do you have any solution?" Zhou Wen asked the two of them.
"I only know some rules, and I'm not very good at playing. How about you, Xiao Yanyan?" Li Xuan asked Feng Qiuyan.
Feng Qiuyan thought for a moment and replied, "My grandfather loves playing chess, so I learned it since I was a kid. But I'm only average at it. Besides, there's no chessboard here, only rules. It's a little different from real chess, so I'm not sure if it'll work."
"Let's try using the companion pet first, and then you tell me what to do." Zhou Wen summoned another warrior with divine runes and heavy armor.
Li Xuan and Feng Qiuyan saw the location where Zhou Wen summoned the divine rune heavy armor warriors and shouted at the same time: "Get out of the way!"
The heavily armored warrior with divine patterns summoned by Zhou Wen was right in front of him, forming a straight line with the little squirrel.
boom!
The little squirrel flew through the air and directly hit the place where Zhou Wen had just stood. Fortunately, Feng Qiuyan and Li Xuan reminded him, and Zhou Wen had already dodged it in advance, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.
"What's going on?" Zhou Wen asked in surprise.
"This little squirrel should be the cannon in chess. It must be separated by a chess piece to launch an attack." Feng Qiuyan explained.
As he spoke, Feng Qiuyan moved to within a straight line distance of the little squirrel and launched an attack. As soon as his knife touched the little squirrel, the little squirrel's body exploded.
"It seems I represent the rook in chess." Feng Qiuyan thought for a moment and looked at Zhou Wen and said, "Coach, we need some chess pieces now. Summon some companion pets. They don't need to be too powerful, legendary ones will do. First, determine what they represent in chess. Then we need to figure out what pieces are on the other side of the river."
Zhou Wen has many companion pets, but he has very few legendary companion pets. Because they are not of great value, they are rarely hatched and are usually fed directly to pets.
Zhou Wen summoned some epic companion pets. Li Xuan said, "Old Zhou, there's no need to be so extravagant. A cheap legendary pet will do."
"These are my least valuable companion pets. Feel free to use them. There's no point in keeping them anyway. I still have a lot." Zhou Wen said as he summoned some companion pets outside, all of which were also epic.
However, after summoning twelve, Zhou Wen found that he could no longer summon a companion pet.
"I suddenly realized that it is so difficult for us to communicate now." Li Xuan said with a look of grievance.
Feng Qiuyan counted the number of companion pets and said, "It seems this is the dimensional realm of chess rules. There are sixteen chess pieces on each side, twelve companion pets, plus the four of us, which makes exactly sixteen. Now we need to figure out what chess pieces these companion pets represent. Coach, please let them move around first."
Zhou Wen made his companion pets move, and based on the way they moved, Feng Qiuyan quickly determined what chess pieces they represented.
"If my judgment is correct, Ya'er is likely to represent the checkmate. Coach, you must protect her at all costs. If the checkmate dies, it means the game is lost, and no one knows what the consequences will be." Feng Qiuyan said to Zhou Wen.
"Okay." Zhou Wen nodded. Although he now roughly understood the rules, playing chess is a skill, not just knowing the rules.
"Now we need to know what the other side has. Coach, take a look at what kind of dimensional creatures they have." Feng Qiuyan said, looking across the river.
Di Ting worked, and Zhou Wen told Feng Qiuyan about the various dimensional creatures that appeared on the other side of the river. However, they were all small animals, like mice, sheep, cats, dogs, etc., and they did not look very strong.
Feng Qiuyan thought for a moment and said, "Right now, we don't know what chess pieces those dimensional creatures represent. We can only test them in actual combat, and by then, some chess pieces will inevitably be sacrificed."
"It doesn't matter, they are all unimportant companion pets." Zhou Wen said.
Feng Qiuyan nodded and was about to let her companion pet cross the river when she suddenly heard a voice from the other side of the river: "Interesting! I didn't expect that among the young people nowadays, there are people who are proficient in chess. It's rare."
The three of them were slightly startled and looked towards the other side. They saw an old man sitting on a big rock more than ten meters high in the distance. He was staring at them with shining eyes.
"Human?" Zhou Wen was a little surprised.
