It wasn't strange for a human to appear in such a place. What was strange was that the dimensional creatures opposite him didn't show any hostility towards him. Furthermore, Zhou Wen vaguely sensed that the dimensional creatures seemed to regard the elder as their leader.
"Grandpa, why did you come to such a place alone?" Li Xuan shouted.
The elder ignored Li Xuan and looked at Feng Qiuyan. "Since you know Chinese chess, play a game with me. You can leave alive if you win."
"Grandpa, you are also a human. Why make things difficult for your own people?" Li Xuan shouted again.
The elder sneered and said, "Human or not has nothing to do with me. Since you are here, you only have two choices. Win or die."
"Why is this old fellow so inhumane?" Li Xuan muttered.
The elder continued, "Rat is Xiang, Fox is Knight …"
He told Feng Qiuyan all the chess pieces represented by dimensional creatures before saying, "I'm Commander. The rules are somewhat different from Chinese chess in the past. There's no limit to the number of steps. As long as you have the ability, you can control as many chess pieces as you want at the same time."
With that said, the dimensional creatures began moving under the elder's orders.
It was different from real Chinese chess. It wasn't one person taking one step. When the elder gave the order, many dimensional creatures moved at the same time.
As the Companion Beasts weren't Feng Qiuyan's, Feng Qiuyan could only inform Zhou Wen. Then, Zhou Wen controlled the Companion Beasts to move, so their movements were naturally slower.
Even so, Feng Qiuyan wasn't at a disadvantage. Both of their chess pieces were constantly decreasing, making them look evenly matched.
However, there was a hidden danger on Feng Qiuyan's side. Apart from himself, all the chess pieces could be sacrificed. However, on Feng Qiuyan's side, there were four chess pieces that absolutely couldn't be sacrificed. The further it went, the greater the disadvantage.
Feng Qiuyan wasn't anxious at all. Seeing the number of chess pieces decrease, he remained as calm as water. He constantly communicated with Zhou Wen and commanded the remaining Companion Beasts to fight.
When Zhou Wen received the order to move the Companion Beasts, he had already gained a deeper understanding of the rules of Chinese chess. He also knew Feng Qiuyan's disadvantage.
Soon, the Companion Beasts on both sides were almost completely sacrificed. Apart from the four of them, Feng Qiuyan only had a Chi that represented a Horse.
On the old man's side, other than himself, there was a horse, a cannon, and two carriages.
In terms of lineup, Feng Qiuyan's side was clearly at a disadvantage. Furthermore, apart from that Chi, they could not have any other sacrifices.
The old man said eerily, "Looks like you need to decide which one to sacrifice next."
Apart from the elder, the horse, cannon, and two vehicles attacked Zhou Wen and company.
The two chariots were the most powerful. As long as you stood in a straight line with them, you would be instantly killed by them. The horse and the cannon were equally shocking.
If the horse stood in a straight line, he would be hit by the cannon. If he stood to the side, he might be killed by the horse that moved diagonally.
As for Zhou Wen, he was in a miserable state. Although Li Xuan also walked diagonally, he could only walk one square at a time. No matter how fast Li Xuan was, he couldn't speed up due to the dimensional zone's restrictions. His killing range was much shorter than a horse's.
Zhou Wen was a pawn. He could only take one step at a time. Furthermore, he could only advance and not retreat. At most, he could only move horizontally. He posed little threat to the elder.
Only Feng Qiuyan's chariot posed a greater threat to them. However, because he couldn't take the initiative to stand in a straight line with the other party, he never found an opportunity.
Soon, the Chi representing the horse was killed. The four of them could no longer make any more sacrifices.
"It looks like your chess skills are only so-so. How disappointing." The elder held the absolute advantage and wasn't in a hurry to continue attacking.
Feng Qiuyan's expression remained unchanged as he looked at the elder and said, "My chess skills are inferior to yours. If this was a real chess game, I would definitely lose. However, this isn't a real chess game, so I'll definitely win. "
"Everything in the world is a chess game. This is a real chess game," the elder said.
"Everything in the world is a chess game, but the chess pieces are different," Feng Qiuyan said.
"There's nothing different. No matter how powerful a creature is, it's just a chess piece in this chess game. It can be killed at any time," the elder said.
"That might not be the case. Sometimes, chess pieces can also influence the chess game." Feng Qiuyan turned to Zhou Wen and Li Xuan and said, "Coach, President, this is all I can do. I can only weaken my opponent to this extent. You already know the rules very well. What's next is a battle, not a chess game. You are all combat experts, so there's no need for me to command you."
As Feng Qiuyan spoke, he drew his saber and charged forward. Without a word, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan charged forward with Feng Qiuyan.
Previously, Zhou Wen didn't know the rules, but now, he knew them like the back of his hand. Furthermore, Feng Qiuyan had removed most of the chess pieces, simplifying the complicated chess game. The possibility of being accidentally killed was minimized.
Just as Feng Qiuyan had said, they only needed to fight under the rules and didn't need to think about how to play chess.
Apart from their bodies being restricted to a certain extent and needing to be careful not to be instantly killed by the other party, it was no different from a normal battle.
The three of them moved together. Feng Qiuyan was very fast, but Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were very slow. They could only take one step at a time.
One horse, one cannon, and two chariots came to attack the two of them, but the two of them used their positioning and judgment to circle around them. They weren't killed at all.
Instead, Feng Qiuyan used the opportunity to quickly kill one of the horses.
The remaining two chariots and one cannon could only move in a straight line. The threat was immediately reduced.
Therefore, the three of them ignored the chess pieces and rushed towards the elder.
Just as Feng Qiuyan had said, if it was a real chess game, he would have already lost, but this wasn't a real chess game.
In a real chess game, it was impossible for the chess pieces represented by Ya 'er and Li Xuan to cross the river. Even their range of movement was limited, but it was different in reality.
Seeing that Zhou Wen and company were coordinating with each other, the elder's remaining three chess pieces were unable to kill any one of them, making his expression turn nasty.
"Unforgivable … Unforgivable … That's not how chess is played …" A look of anger appeared on the elder's face.
"You no longer have a chance of winning. It's best you admit defeat and let us pass," Feng Qiuyan said. The other party was a human, so he wasn't willing to really kill the elder.
"Lose? It's impossible for me to lose. No one can defeat me on the chessboard. No one … "As the elder spoke, he stood up and let out a long roar.
Many dimensional creatures rushed out and replenished his dead chess pieces. As for Zhou Wen and company, they immediately fell into a perilous situation. They had already fallen into the attack range of many chess pieces.
"Holy sh * t, you're cheating!" Li Xuan shouted.
"So what? As long as I win, all of you can die. I'm number one at chess. No one can defeat me on the chessboard," the elder shouted with a ferocious expression.
