Chapter 1518 New Chess Piece
Seeing that the player who appeared was Liu Rumian, Chen Lin's face suddenly turned ugly.
But it was just ugly, not alarming.
Before deciding to go to the Six Mysterious Sect, he pondered quietly in the fief for several days, and had already speculated on all the things that might happen after entering this place.
He also considered the scene before him.
Because this kind of situation is very common in the nightmare world.
It is not uncommon for the loser of a gambling game to accept punishment on the winner's behalf, or even for the winner and loser to swap identities.
Chen Lin stared at Liu Rumian.
Obviously, the opponent will become a chess player, that is, he loses the chess game and is sealed by the rules and becomes a nightmare creature.
It's the same as the wandering puppets from Once Upon a Time.
"Miss Liu, do you need gold nightmare coins?"
After looking at it for a while, Chen Lin asked tentatively.
Liu Rumian did not respond.
She stretched out her hand numbly, took out a chess piece from the chess box, thought for a moment, and placed it on the chess board.
The chessboard trembled and the chess game began.
Chen Lin took a breath and concentrated on dealing with it.
Now that both sides are seated, it seems that the game of chess must be played to the end no matter what.
But what put him in a dilemma was whether he should win or lose.
If he wins, he will naturally complete the rule of winning three games in a row, and he can break through the space restrictions and enter the depths of the scene.
But Liu Rumian's fate may not be good.
Judging from the opponent's physical changes in the outside world, after becoming a chess player, if he loses the chess game, he will be severely punished even if he is not directly eliminated.
Every time you lose a game, your body will get worse.
So winning or losing in this game may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
It is not advisable to lose on purpose.
In that case, he must take the place of the other party and stay here as a player.
He also has no confidence that he can break away from the rules of the nightmare world.
The Cage Array is about to change. If he is trapped here for a hundred years, all his previous preparations will be in vain. He may even be monitored by the Cage Array and eliminated.
Chen Lin was thinking and making moves, deliberately slowing down.
But he soon discovered that even if he tried his best, it would not be easy to win this game.
It's not that Liu Rumian's chess skills are so strong, but the aura emanating from the chessboard is several times stronger than before. It no longer looks like a fantasy, it's just like a real fight on the battlefield.
Even after he failed to dodge and was hit, his body actually suffered substantial damage!
What frightened Chen Lin even more was that neither his golden armor nor his star ring could block this invisible attack.
This made him tired of dealing with it. He made several mistakes and soon fell into a disadvantage.
That does not work!
Chen Lin knew that if this continued, not to mention rescuing Liu Rumian, he would have to be left here.
However, this chess game illusion seemed real, but in fact it was an illusion. He could not think of a way to break the game for a while.
While thinking about it, Chen Lin felt that the aura of the chessboard was strengthening again. As Liu Rumian's chess pieces fell, attacks in the illusion were overwhelming, and demons and monsters emerged in endlessly.
As he sat on the seat, blood was constantly exploding from his body, and from the inside out, neither the golden battle armor nor the power of the inner star could play a defensive role.
This is a battlefield of artistic conception, which cannot be resolved by physical objects.
There was a lot of danger for a while.
At this critical moment, Chen Lin suddenly felt that the aura of the chessboard was inexplicably weak, and the offensive in the illusion also became sluggish.
He immediately seized the opportunity and used all possible means to escape from the illusory crisis.
"ah!"
At the same time, Liu Rumian on the opposite side let out a shrill scream.
Chen Lin looked over and his expression suddenly changed.
I saw that the opponent's originally decaying projection body was now becoming more and more dry, and all the seven orifices were flowing with dark blood, and the whole person was enveloped by the violent nightmare world atmosphere.
It seemed to tear it apart.
This is not over yet.
In the blink of an eye, black hairs sprouted from the opponent's face, and sarcomas bulged out from the top of his head, exuding a foul odor.
It's actually about to mutate into a nightmare!
"How are you?"
Chen Lin hurriedly asked.
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, but had a look of pain and struggle on his face, he immediately spoke again.
"Put the chess piece down quickly, I have a solution!"
He has already seen that the reason why the opponent suddenly became like this is because the chess piece in his hand was always hanging, which exceeded the maximum time for the piece to be placed.
The longer the delay, the faster the alienation, which is also a punishment mechanism.
The reason why the opponent did this was obviously to delay him so that he could better cope with the chess game.
It was precisely because of this that when he was almost unable to hold on in the illusion just now, the attacks of those demons and monsters became weaker.
Chen Lin felt an inexplicable emotion in his heart.
Apart from his wife and daughter, this was the first time someone risked their lives to protect him. Liu Rumian definitely lived up to the word "friend". It would not be an exaggeration to say that he was extremely righteous.
"Luozi, don't worry about me, hurry up!"
Seeing that the other party was on the verge of a complete change, Chen Lin hurriedly urged him again.
Liu Rumian rolled his eyes and finally stopped insisting and dropped the chess piece on the chessboard.
As soon as the chess piece fell, the strange aura on the chessboard erupted again, pulling Chen Lin into the illusion again.
And the intensity was several times stronger than before.
But this time Chen Lin was prepared and was not trapped anymore. He used the magical power of sky fire and cooperated with the star power to attack the chessboard.
Since the illusion cannot be resolved, then deal with the chessboard that created it.
However, Chen Lin's face immediately darkened.
After the attack of the star power and the sky fire hit the chessboard, not only did it not weaken the chessboard's aura, but it had the opposite effect.
The chessboard seemed to be half enraged, and the strange aura surged. The monsters and ghosts in the illusion rushed towards him frantically.
Moreover, this strange aura could interfere with his thinking, making it impossible for him to think carefully and lose his judgment on the direction of the chess game.
Chen Lin secretly cried out that it was not good.
Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Death Gaze.
This was his only reliance.
The Soul-Destroying Finger had long been unable to keep up with his strength growth, and in this golden scene, it had no effect at all.
The pale eyeball appeared between his eyebrows.
A great force swept over the chessboard.
Then, Chen Lin was happy.
After the chessboard was swept by the Death Gaze, it actually gave off a feeling of fear, and then the strange aura receded like a tide.
He did not pause, and in one go, his pale eyeballs flickered again, scanning the chessboard.
"Buzz!"
The chessboard trembled.
After a buzzing sound, the strange aura dissipated into the invisible, and the illusion of the battlefield also collapsed.
At the same time, the power of the death gaze was completely consumed, and the pale eyeball disappeared between his eyebrows.
Chen Lin felt relieved.
I didn't expect that this chessboard really had a "spirit".
It was also restrained by the death gaze.
The spell that Niuniu gave him was simply too powerful, saving him from danger several times.
Liu Rumian on the opposite side seemed to have sensed something, and a light flashed in his eyes.
But he immediately became dull and continued to place his pieces expressionlessly.
Without the interference of the illusion, Chen Lin had no pressure at all. With his level of chess, it was very easy to fight Liu Rumian.
However, he did not mean to win the opponent, but always kept going back and forth, trying to promote a draw.
This was the best way he could think of.
Otherwise, no matter who wins or loses, they will inevitably suffer.
His death gaze can weaken the spirit of the chessboard, but it cannot affect the rules of the nightmare world.
The last chess piece fell, and the draw scene was finally generated as expected.
Chen Lin was extremely alert.
Because he didn't know what the result of such an approach would be. Neither Luo Xing nor Qixuan Tiannv had experienced such a thing.
In fact, if he hadn't suppressed the spirit of the chessboard with his death gaze, the draw scene would not have been possible.
In this chess game, playing chess is just an appearance. The real battlefield is in the illusion generated by the chessboard, where it is either you die or I die, and there is absolutely no such thing as a draw.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Lin was surprised to find that the chessboard was motionless.
The chess pieces of both sides were quietly placed on it, neither disappearing nor changing in other ways.
Liu Rumian also became motionless, as if she was frozen.
"Can you hear me? If you can, blink your eyes."
After a while, seeing that there was still no movement, Chen Lin could only try to ask.
He couldn't just keep on being in a stalemate.
But Liu Rumian didn't respond.
It seemed that she had completely lost her mind.
Now Chen Lin didn't know what to do.
After thinking about it, he tentatively reached out and touched the chess pieces on the chessboard.
He touched them one by one, but there was still no response.
Then, he made up his mind and planned to leave his seat.
According to the rules, as long as he left his seat, the game would be over, and the judgment would be clear at that time.
But before leaving his seat, Chen Lin suddenly thought of something, looked at Liu Rumian, touched his storage ring, and took out a few golden nightmare coins.
Feeling that the number was not large, he took out a few more.
After thinking for a while, he simply took out a hundred, wrapped them with the power of the inner star, and sent them all into Liu Rumian's sleeves.
If the rules here are normal nightmare style, then the bet of winning or losing is the golden nightmare coin, and the way to exempt from punishment should also be like the wandering puppets in the fairy tale town, which can be offset by golden nightmare coins.
If possible, a hundred nightmare coins will definitely be enough.
After doing this, Chen Lin stood up slowly.
He wanted to take the two chess pieces and keep them as medium items, but he gave up after thinking about it.
Because no matter whether he took the black or white piece first, he might judge the other side to lose the game at the moment he picked it up, so it was better not to make trouble.
As soon as he left his seat, he saw the chessboard light up, and then the chess pieces on it began to fade.
But to Chen Lin's surprise, these chess pieces did not disappear, but all condensed together.
After a flash, it turned into a black and white crystal chess piece that was one size larger.
It was exactly the same as the medium chess piece.
Chen Lin suddenly realized that the medium chess piece was from this way!
This time he did not hesitate and picked up the black and white chess pieces at will.
He looked at Liu Rumian again.
