A chessboard?
Mo Fan tried his best to see as far as possible.
The black and white grid really did look like a chessboard embedded in the ground.
If there was a chessboard, there should be chess pieces too, right?
Just as Mofan was feeling confused, a strange light red curtain suddenly enveloped him and Asha'ria.
Mofan exchanged glances with her. Asha'ria seemed to know what Mofan wanted to ask. In the end, she said bitterly, "We … are chess pieces."
… …
"This is the Slaughter Chessboard. Now I understand why we couldn't retreat when we were in the Bone Sand Land." Asha'ria's face was still pale.
"What does the chessboard have to do with whether we can retreat or not?" Mofan asked.
"The Imperial Guard, the Knight, the Hierarch, the War Chariot, the Queen, the King. These are the different chess pieces on the chessboard. The Imperial Guard is the Pawns in Chinese chess. You should know how to play chess, right? "Asha'ria said.
Mofan nodded.
In Chinese chess, the Pawns and Soldiers could only move forward, right?
They could only move forward!
Since they were in the Bone Sand Land, they had been restricted by some kind of power. They could only move forward!
"Then … what is the Dark Forest?" Mofan asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be a selection. Some of the chess pieces on the chessboard will be formed by us. They will become the Imperial Guard, the War Chariot, the Hierarch, the Queen, and the King, "Asha'ria speculated.
The faint red light curtain grew bigger. Mo Fan and Asha 'ruiya were initially standing still, but the chessboard under their feet suddenly moved on its own!
It was like a jigsaw puzzle. The chessboard was moving again. Mofan, Asha'ria, and the Dark Frost Swordmistress were being moved in a strange manner.
Mofan was moved to the left of the center of the chessboard.
Mofan was the only one standing there.
Asha'ria, the Black Frost Sword Mistress, had been forcefully moved to another place!
Mofan and Asha'ria were separated by about two black and white squares, which was not particularly far.
The Black Frost Sword Master was on the other side, probably five or six kilometers away. It looked like a small black dot.
Mofan could move, but he couldn't leave this white grid. Almost as soon as he touched the border, the blood-red lightning restriction appeared and slapped Mofan back.
"Mofan, you're the Sect Leader!" Asha'ria yelled at Mofan from afar.
Mofan's mind was full of confusion. Ever since he came to the Dark Plane, he couldn't think of what he had seen and encountered in a normal way. His mind couldn't wrap itself around it.
"What bishop?" Mofan replied loudly.
"A chess piece, you're the Sect Leader's chess piece. Look above your head," Asha'ria said.
Mofan raised his head and realized the light red screen above his head had turned into a three-dimensional image. It was very similar to the Sect Leader's chess piece!
Mofan looked at Asha'ria and saw the image of a knight on the red screen above Asha'ria's head.
"You're a knight?" Mofan asked in astonishment.
"Mm, my Frost Knight is also a knight, but it's on the other side. There's a king, a queen, two chariots, two Sect Leaders, two knights, and eight Imperial Guards! "Asha'ria said.
Mofan frowned.
The chessboard was very clean for now. Only Asha'ria, himself, and the Frost Knight were left.
But if what Asha 'ruiya said was true, the Dark Forest was a selection process, then the people who walked out of it one after another would become different pawns for other players.
It seemed like it was only the selection and arrangement stage. Since they had come out of the Dark Forest too early, they were the only ones left on the chessboard.
"Mofan, hurry up and rest up. Once all the chess pieces are in place, it's going to be a massacre!" Asha'ria reminded Mofan.
"Alright, I won't be able to go to your side. You have to be careful too," Mofan reminded her.
"Don't worry, I'm not as weak as you think I am," Asha'ria's eyes flickered with sharpness.
…
The stage was rather long.
For a long time, no other chess pieces were placed on the chessboard.
"Ugh!"
"Ugh!"
Suddenly, a heart-stopping cry was heard.
Mo Fan opened his eyes and saw a creature with three heads around six Earth Grids in his direction. The creature was emitting scorching hot lava.
"A Dreadful Curse Cerberus!" Mofan had read about the creature in the ancient books of Greece. It was the most common species among the Dark Plane with a high bloodline.
Could it be the 'Sect Leader' on the other side?
No, that couldn't be right.
The difference in strength was too great.
With Mofan's current strength, the Dreadful Curse Cerberus was no match for him. Mofan could take on an entire group of them on his own.
"The Imperial Guards," Asha'ria seemed to have woken up from the Dreadful Curse Cerberus' roar.
As she spoke, the faint red light flickered several times. One Dreadful Curse Cerberus after another was transferred to the chessboard!
"Are they the enemy's Imperial Guard Chess pieces? If there are eight of them, then …" Mo Fan was trying to figure it out.
He initially thought there would only be one Dreadful Curse Cerberus in each Earth Grids, just like he had Asha'ria, himself, and the Black Frost Swordmaster in their respective spots. To his surprise, Mofan saw a group of Dreadful Curse Cerberus in one of the Imperial Guards!
The number of Dreadful Curse Cerberus kept increasing. It felt like an army of Dreadful Curse Cerberus was standing in front of him.
A group of Dreadful Curse Cerberus only represented one Imperial Guard?
But the Imperial Guards were the weakest creatures on the chessboard!
After the Tyrant Hellish Cerberus was assigned, it was unable to move away from the cells it was assigned to. However, all six of its eyes were glaring at Mo Fan fiercely, despite the great distance between them.
It was as if they were going to lunge at Mofan as soon as they broke free from the chains!
"Another piece has been placed," Asha'ruiya said.
Mofan glanced at the Dreadful Curse Cerberus and saw a few muscular, evil creatures in the straight line corresponding to Asha'ria and the Black Frost Swordmaster.
Pitch-Black armor, a shining heavy sword, and a fiery war horse … …
Dark Swordmasters!
The Dark Swordmasters on the opposing chessboard were Ruler-level Dark Swordmasters!
Four Dark Swordmasters had appeared on a knight's spot!
Two knight's pieces meant there were eight Dark Swordmasters!
Eight Dark Swordmasters …
How terrifying was their strength?
Following them were the Patriarch, the War Chariot, the Queen, and the King.
