The abandoned cannon fodder girl's path to immortality

Chapter 146: Winning Chess
Soon the phantom on the chessboard disappeared after the human cultivator appeared.

"Junior sister! Keep playing! Perhaps only by breaking this chess game can we see the complete phantom scene!" Jiang Daoyu said softly upon seeing this.

"What's the next step?"

"We'll move after the white piece is moved!"

Chen Jinshu was just about to play the piano to transform into Heizi when Jiang Daoyu seemed to have noticed something and spoke out to stop him.

Under the astonished gaze of the three people, a white piece actually appeared at the third and fifth positions on the chessboard.

"Brother! Could it be that the snake demon is not dead yet?" She sent a voice message to her two brothers.

"There must be a residual soul left in the corpse!"

Jiang Daoyu couldn't help but become serious when he saw this.

He observed the chessboard before playing. In this game, the black pieces had a slight advantage, but the white pieces were not weak either, and seemed to be catching up, resulting in a situation where neither side would give in.

He calmed down a little and thought quickly about his next plan.

The two players on the chessboard should have resolved the issue of the ancient village through chess, but after playing for many years, there was still no winner, until both of them turned into bones.

"Junior sister! You decide on the next move. I'm a little unsure too!" Jiang Daoyu observed the chessboard for a moment. He felt that the chess piece could be placed anywhere, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu looked at the chess board for a moment.

In his sea of ​​consciousness, he kept recalling the scenes of playing chess in the family school.

"The chess game is now like two tigers fighting each other. If we want to make the next move, we have to remove our opponent's front paws."

After considering it for a moment, she asked her senior brother, "How about five or six people?"

"also may!"

After hearing this, she immediately plucked the strings and transformed a black piece at the fifth or sixth position.

At the moment the black spot fell, the phantom image appeared again.

The snake demon and the human cultivator fought a fierce battle that shook the world, but in the end neither side could defeat the other.

So the human cultivator proposed to the snake demon to solve the problem through a game of chess, but in fact this was just a way for the human cultivator to delay.

The snake demon never stopped, but did not refuse, as it also liked to play chess.

In the end, both parties disappeared from the spot and came to the open-air pavilion here, which was a cave dwelling for human cultivators.

The game between the two sides lasted for several years without any end. During this period, a major event occurred in the ancient village, causing all the people in the village to disappear.

On the phantom lake surface, one could only see the human cultivator and the snake demon noticing the changes outside at the same time, but neither of them knew what it was.

Because the game was not over yet, the two did not leave until they both turned into bones.

However, upon seeing this, Chen Jinshu suspected that Ren Xiu had already made some adjustments to the chess game, and he could not leave until the winner was determined.

Otherwise, with the snake demon's profound cultivation, why would it be stuck in the chess game for a long time and unable to escape?

As for what happened in the ancient village, the human cultivators had no time to care.

"Senior, you were so righteous that you were willing to sacrifice yourself to save the people of this ancient village. But in the end, you failed to protect them!" Du Yi said with some emotion.

"The cave is a small world. This world is full of monsters and beasts. The ancient village is full of mortals. How can we resist the monsters?"

"Once one snake demon appears, there will definitely be a second one. It's just a matter of time!"

In the blink of an eye, the shadow on the chessboard disappeared again.

Not sure if it was Chen Jinshu's illusion, but she actually saw two faint green lights where the snake demon was.

She quickly collected her thoughts and turned her gaze towards the chess board.

"Junior sister! Next is four and six!"

Seeing that the white piece had already fallen, Jiang Daoyu immediately said.

Upon hearing this, Chen Jinshu quickly hooked the strings and dropped the black piece.

However, this time, there was no longer any phantom image on the chessboard.

The three of them couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it soon disappeared. An hour later, the chessboard was already filled with black and white pieces, but the winner was still undecided.

At this time, the green light on the snake demon's skull became more and more intense.

Du Yi and the others also noticed something strange, but they tacitly did not say anything.

"Brother! This isn't a good way to go. Do you have any tricks that the snake demon can easily fall for? This snake demon should have some basic chess skills!"

"There is a trick, but it requires you and me to put on a show!"

"it is good!"

……

Another half hour later, Chen Jinshu pretended to be impatient and said, "Brother, your skills are really not good enough! You haven't won in such a long time!"

"Humph! It's you who's interfering. If I were playing alone, I would have won long ago."

"You two?" Du Yi looked at the two people who started bickering with a puzzled look on his face.

The two of them did not inform Du Yi when they were negotiating just now, mainly because they wanted the effect to be realistic.

"Then please come in, Senior Brother!"

"Another six next!"

"Are you crazy? How is this different from committing suicide?"

"Just go ahead and get off."

Chen Jinshu looked angry, but he still plucked the strings and placed a black piece at this position.

At the moment the black piece fell, the white piece fell beside it.

"Tian Yuan!"

……

"Small eye position!"

Jiang Daoyu almost roared out this point. The moment the black piece fell, the entire chessboard was immediately illuminated by golden light. The lines on the board seemed to come alive and directly ate up the white piece.

In an instant, all the white pieces disappeared, leaving only the black pieces.

The snake demon holding the white piece turned into dust under the gaze of the three people, but dropped two light golden beads.

"These are the eyes of the snake demon, and also where its cultivation is hidden!" Du Yi said immediately.

"Brother Jiang's move just now was truly remarkable. It fooled the snake demon!"

The two of them had just used a risky move to interfere with the snake demon's judgment. If there was even a slight mistake, they would not be able to influence the final game.

Fortunately, the snake demon was fooled after being alert for a while, allowing the black piece to gradually take control of the situation, and the white piece had no chance of winning.

At the moment when the snake demon's skeleton turned into dust, the skeleton of the human cultivator began to emit a faint golden light, and the shadow of an old man gradually emerged.

"My three fellow Daoists, there's no need to be afraid. I perished alongside the snake demon ten thousand years ago. Only a wisp of my soul maintains the chess game's restrictions, preventing the snake demon's spirit from escaping and scare me. Now that the snake demon has lost the game and perished, I've been able to escape."

"Senior, you are so righteous!" The three of them bowed to the shadowy old man at the same time.

Below this chessboard are three items that I hid in the past. They will be your reward for winning this game.

After the old man finished speaking, he turned into a shadow and disappeared.

Then the chessboard on the side suddenly broke in the middle, revealing three boxes inside.

"Let's take a look at what's inside first and then discuss how to distribute it!" Du Yi suggested.

"Okay!" The two nodded.

The three of them then opened the three wooden boxes placed in the center of the chessboard. One of the wooden boxes contained a spell called "Soldier Puppet Refining Technique".

After checking it out, they found that this technique was a method of refining soldier puppets for combat. It was very advantageous for group attacks, and the strength of the refined soldier puppets could be gradually improved with the master's cultivation level.

"Let's each make a copy of this technique. It might be very effective when used to manage spiritual fields!"
