This kind of mist obscures the line of sight and cannot be dispelled by any means. It belongs to the Rule-Mist of the Game of Life and Death. Back then, in Xiaolin Town, Maple Leaf City, after the entire town was sacrificed by the White Bone Sect, mist also arose due to the connection with the Netherworld. Of course, the levels of these two types of mist are different, but in the Game of Life and Death, the Rule-Mist of the Life and Death Chess can be regarded as the mist that isolates the two realms. Time flows swiftly, and years pass in the blink of an eye. Of the fellow disciples who went to Xiaolin Town together back then, perhaps only Du Yehgu is still around. I wonder how he is doing in the Nine Rivers Black Armor… In Qinghuo Yuanchen’s eyes, Jiang Wang only paused slightly before continuing forward. In Jiang Wang’s hand, he held a roll of bright yellow silk scroll, which was the Royal Authority Contract he signed when he descended through the “Star Pointing General” ritual. The front is the contract and his blood signature, and the back unfolds, transforming and flashing with light spots. It is almost equivalent to carrying a small Stone Tablet Chessboard, allowing entrants to grasp their own and other competitors’ positions, making it easier to “play chess.” The only difference is that the Stone Tablet Chessboard can display the positions of each competing team at all times. After being in the game, the Royal Authority Contract only has one chance per day to display the positions of all competitors, requiring you to seize the opportunity to use it. Jiang Wang did not hesitate to use today’s opportunity. At this moment, the red circular light spot they represent is at the outermost edge of the entire Life and Death Chessboard. And so far, the purple light spot in the innermost circle is undoubtedly the Scarlet Thunder Tribe represented by Lei Zhangan. The Qinghuo Tribe does not need to consider all the teams in front for the time being. The most important thing now is to find the “Life Point” and occupy it. The Game of Life and Death distinguishes between Chess Master, Chess Knight, Chess Minister, and Chess Pawn, each with its own meaning. The most important manifestation lies in the “Rule Vision.” The reason for the name “Rule” is that the vision in the Game of Life and Death is not affected by individual conditions but is generated under the “Rules.” In other words, no matter how perfectly the eye aperture is developed, no matter how strong the pupil technique is, if the “Rules” do not allow it, you cannot see it. And if the “Rules” allow it, even a blind person can see it. And in the Life and Death Chess: The Chess Master can directly see seven positions. That is, the seven chess positions in front, behind, left, and right are all within the field of vision, unaffected by the Rule-Mist. Two Chess Knights can only see diagonally, seeing six positions. For example, if four stone slabs form a “field” character, and the Chess Knight is located on the lower left slab, under the restrictions of the rules, he cannot see in front, behind, left, or right, but can only see diagonally, such as the upper right slab. Taking the current position as the center, six consecutive chess positions in any direction on the diagonal. Six Chess Ministers can only see by jumping over positions, seeing four jumps. For example, if three stone slabs form an “eye” character, if the Chess Knight is located on the lowest slab, he cannot see the situation on the middle slab, but can only see the top slab. In this way, seeing by jumping over positions, he can see the scene within four jumps in different directions in front, behind, left, and right. Chess Pawns can only see their immediate surroundings. This is the simplest. They can only see the field of vision of one chess position in front, behind, left, right, and diagonally. It is precisely because Chess Masters, Chess Knights, Chess Ministers, and Chess Pawns have different “Rule Visions” that many vision combinations can be derived. The importance of “vision” is beyond doubt. In the Game of Life and Death, solo travel is not encouraged. Therefore, after the annihilation of the Swift Fire Tribe, with only the Chess Master remaining, even if the Swift Fire Tribe’s Chess Master is extraordinarily strong, the various tribes are not optimistic about the Swift Fire Tribe. Of course, people like Jiang Wang who know Jiang Wuxie’s identity will definitely not take him lightly. Each stone slab representing a chess position is sixteen feet long and wide, fully capable of accommodating seventeen people standing together. This may be safer and more stable, but it obviously cannot maximize the use of Rule Vision. As the Chess Master, Jiang Wang can see the situation seven positions in front and on his left and right. The Chess Knights have the responsibility of guarding, and the two Chess Knights, including Qinghuo Yuanchen, stand with Jiang Wang, guarding both sides. They can help Jiang Wang observe the situation of six chess positions diagonally. One is responsible for observing one diagonal line. Ancient sages assisted in government with six ministers. The importance of the Chess Minister is also self-evident. The Chess Minister’s “Rule Vision” is to see four jumps, which means that they can see the situation of the eighth chess position directly in front at the farthest, one more position than the Chess Master’s “Rule Vision.” Therefore, the four Chess Ministers walk with Jiang Wang, observing all directions. The remaining two Chess Ministers walk in the two chess positions to the left and right of the Chess Master, focusing on observing the front. The eight Chess Pawns are divided into two teams, four on each side, guarding the Chess Ministers on the left and right two positions. The entire team moves forward in this formation. This is definitely not the way to maximize the use of Rule Vision, but it is relatively safe. Because no one can say what dangers are hidden in those impenetrable mists. If the distance is too far, there is no chance of rescue when an accident occurs. Because the extraordinary power of the Qinghuo Tribe’s warriors is dissolved within the Life and Death Chess, Jiang Wang needs to accommodate their speed. The speed of the slowest person in the entire team is the speed of the entire team. The Qinghuo Tribe has invested its energy in the “Nether Totem” for many years, and there is no talk of participating in the Game of Life and Death. At Jiang Wang’s request, every three positions, each Chess Knight and Chess Minister must report the situation of their “Rule Vision” once. “Minister One, safe.” “Minister Two, safe.” “Minister Three, safe.” Everyone is ranked as Knight One, Knight Two, Minister One, Minister Two, Minister Three, and so on. In this way, if an accident occurs, the team can quickly and accurately grasp the situation in which position it occurred. The experience of participating in combat in the Autumn Kill Army is very valuable. As one of the Nine Soldiers of Qi, the Autumn Kill Army basically represents the level of the top army in the present world. Having had that kind of experience, it is not too difficult to arrange the combat plan for such a small team. “Knight One, safe.” “Knight Two, four positions diagonally forward on the right, there is a team of stone soldiers holding spears!” There are various stone soldiers in the Game of Life and Death, with a team of five. Their combat power is not strong, but for tribal warriors who have lost their extraordinary power, it probably takes a two-on-one situation to be sure of victory. “Ignore them. Continue forward,” Jiang Wang commanded. When there is a choice, it is necessary to have combat contact with various stone soldiers, so that in the inevitable event of combat, you can be confident. But at this time, this is not the first priority. Avoid combat if possible. When they were in the Taoist Academy, when they performed tasks in small teams, the commander was the boss, Ling He. His command style was steady and thorough. He almost never made mistakes, and there were also very few moments that looked very outstanding. Now, when Jiang Wang himself is the team commander, he is unconsciously influenced. Try not to take risks and aim to complete the established goals. Keep moving forward, keep receiving messages, remain silent most of the time, and only issue instructions when necessary. Half an hour is not sufficient, so everyone is working hard. “Minister Six, ‘Life Point’ discovered on the fourth jump!” The voice of the Chess Minister with the code name Minister Six was delighted. “Prepare for battle!” There must be obstacles around the “Life Point.” Jiang Wang did not hesitate to move one position to the right, until before the position of the fourth jump, the vision of the seven chess positions in front of this road was fully opened. ps: The rules of the Life and Death Chess are formulated by this author myself, combining many factors, which is relatively complicated. It’s brain-burning and hair-falling… I try my best to explain it clearly, so that everyone can easily understand it and read it without difficulty. I felt that it might be thankless to write it, but I still wrote it this way. It is only based on the simplest logic. As a game that can determine the century-long luck of a tribe and is named after “Life and Death,” it must consider many aspects and should not be too simple. The current Life and Death Chess may not be enough to bear its responsibilities, but I don’t have more time to give it. After all, it has already taken more time than the entire Floating Continent worldview. I still hope it is convincing. By the way, ask for votes.
