Chapter 951 Chess Soul
The four men were deep in the enemy camp and had no room to dodge. All routes were locked anyway. Even if they could kill a few, the other chess pieces would kill them instantly.
"You cheat when you lose. How can you be the best at chess in the world?" Li Xuan said.
"The world is like a chess game, the winner is the king. Whoever can win is the best in the world." The old man was already confident of victory and did not act immediately.
Zhou Wen looked at the old man and asked, "How come you, a human, are in this dimensional realm and can control the dimensional creatures here?"
Zhou Wen was not worried about his own safety, he was just curious about how the old man did it.
"I am the chess king. This is the dimension of chess. God chose me to be the king here and let me revitalize the chess world." The old man said fanatically.
"It's ridiculous. Is this how you revitalize chess? You win by cheating, and you still call yourself the chess king. It's ridiculous." Li Xuan sneered.
"You ignorant people, how can you understand chess? Winning is winning, go to hell." The old man said and ordered his chess pieces to attack.
Zhou Wen no longer hesitated and directly opened the Tai Shang Kai Tian Jing, breaking the taboo of the dimensional field and summoning tens of thousands of note elves in an instant.
Bang bang!
The old man's fifteen chess pieces killed several note elves, but the endless note elves had already occupied the entire space, covering the sky and the earth and shrouding the entire chessboard.
"No... Impossible... How could you summon so many chess pieces... There are only sixteen chess pieces on one side of the chess game..." The old man was horrified. The sky was filled with musical note elves, each of which was a chess piece. Even someone who didn't know how to play chess could kill him in an instant.
"The rules here are of no use to me." Zhou Wen said.
"You are cheating..." the old man shouted with a ferocious expression.
Li Xuan burst out laughing: "You also seem to be talking about cheating. Who said the winner is the king just now?"
"Tell me, why can you control the dimensional creatures here?" Zhou Wen stared at the old man and asked.
The old man did not answer, but suddenly roared and ordered his chess pieces to attack again, but it was useless in Zhou Wen's sea of musical note elves.
Zhou Wen thought about it, and all the old man's chess pieces were killed instantly. The old man himself rushed towards a musical note elf, but Zhou Wen did not give him a chance to die. He controlled the musical note elf to save his life.
"There's something wrong with this old man." Li Xuan also noticed the problem.
"He must be controlled by a dimensional creature." Zhou Wen couldn't see anything wrong with his naked eyes, so he took back all his companion pets, then switched to the Prison King's soul and looked at the old man again with his eyes.
This time, I finally figured out the problem. There was actually a soul-like dimensional creature on the old man, who looked like an ancient chess player.
"I am the best at chess... I am the chess king..." The old man shouted madly and rushed towards Zhou Wen and the others.
"What should I do?" Feng Qiuyan looked at Zhou Wen in embarrassment. He didn't dare to kill the enemy with real swords, but the old man was obviously problematic, but he was unwilling to kill him.
"Let me do it." Zhou Wen walked towards the old man. When the old man rushed in front of him, he waved his hand and slashed out a ray of Hell King's karmic fire, which directly burned the soul attached to the old man into ashes.
As soon as his soul was gone, the old man fell to the ground like a deflated ball, and the madness in his eyes quickly faded away.
As soon as the soul-like dimensional creature died, Zhou Wen and his companions felt that everything around them had returned to normal. There was no forbidden force restricting their movements anymore. They could move sideways or diagonally as they pleased.
"Yes... I'm sorry... I... I didn't mean it... I..." The old man regained consciousness and spoke helplessly. He looked like an honest old man, and there was no trace of his madness just now.
"We know it's not your fault. You are controlled by the dimensional creatures here. Tell us, what exactly happened here?" Zhou Wen pulled the old man up and asked.
After hearing what Zhou Wen said, the old man breathed a sigh of relief and then told him the story in general.
This place is not very famous. There used to be a small village in the mountains. The old people were the villagers in the village. There was a shortage of water and electricity in the mountain village, and there were not many entertainment activities. So playing chess became a hobby and entertainment for many villagers.
Later, after the dimensional storm, many villagers were afraid that a dimensional area would appear here, so they moved to big cities one after another.
The old man's grandfather was a nostalgic man who was unwilling to leave his hometown. Moreover, there was no dimensional area nearby at that time, so his family lived a peaceful life in an isolated mountain village.
At first, nothing happened because there were no dimensional creatures and they lived a relatively comfortable life. However, more than ten years later, after the old man's grandfather died, the surrounding area gradually began to change strangely. The old man's father originally planned to take him to a big city, but found that they could not get out because a dimensional creature called Chess Soul appeared on the nearby roads.
If you want to leave here, you must play chess with the chess spirit. If you win, you can pass. If you lose, you will be possessed by the chess spirit and become like the old man.
After the old man's father lost to the chess spirit, he was controlled by the chess spirit. His mother didn't dare to take him out anymore, so the mother and son lived in a small mountain village. Apart from not being able to go out, there were no other problems.
Later, the old man's mother passed away, and the old man gradually grew old. He has been practicing chess over the years, hoping to break out one day.
Because he never had the courage, he waited until he was old and almost dying, then he mustered up the courage to play chess with those chess spirits. The result was the same, he was defeated by the chess spirits, and became like this.
"So, there is more than one chess soul?" Zhou Wen asked.
"At the beginning, there were only a few chess spirits, blocking all exits nearby. Later, there were more and more chess spirits, and the area of control became larger and larger," said the old man.
"It seems that there should be many chess spirits ahead. Should we continue to move forward?" Li Xuan asked.
Zhou Wen looked at the map and said, "Let's keep going. I'll lead the way, so it should be fine."
Although he could choose other routes, Zhou Wen had already traveled those routes and they could not bring any benefits to the Weiguang Soul, so Zhou Wen decided to continue on this path.
When the old man heard that they wanted to continue moving forward, he begged them to take him with them and asked them to rescue his father if they could meet him.
Since it was just a matter of convenience, Zhou Wen agreed to take him on the journey.
Walking further, they found that there were many crisscrossing rivers, just like lines on a chessboard. When they walked to a river in front, they found a creature appeared on the opposite side, but this time it was not a human, but an ancient chess player in a spirit state.
