"Meow meow, I was almost" Taking a deep breath, An Ruoran looked at the scene in front of her in disbelief. Although it was hit by Vivian's ball of light, the spear was recovered intact, seemingly completely ignoring the attack of a saint-level powerhouse. But what surprised An Ruoran even more was not the quality of the spear, but the scene that appeared in front of him.
Amidst the deep roar, the bronze statue that was originally standing on the same spot was waving its arms, and its eyes were moving slowly with blue lights. Under him, the wheels of the carriage turned slightly, and even the bronze horse pulling the carriage began to tap its front hooves lightly. An Ruoran wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in shock: "Magic puppet, such a huge magic puppet?"
As if to confirm his words, the other bronze statues also began to flash blue eyes and turn their stiff bodies. What's worse is that these bronze statues have obviously discovered An Ruoran and Vivian and are slowly walking towards them. Amidst the loud noise, a huge boulder fell from the sky. Although it did not break through the barrier set by An Ruoran, it still made him feel the shock of huge power. In the distance, the unmanned copper catapult was slowly approaching, and stones began to condense in the huge copper spoon
"I understand, this is chess!" After a moment of astonishment, An Ruoran finally called out the name that had been lingering in his mind for a long time. He was not mistaken. This magic array was a rather huge Chinese chess array. In fact, the bronze statues dressed as pawns were already holding weapons and walking at a strange pace to look at their route. It seemed that they would not When turning, you only know how to move forward first and then go sideways, closely following the intersection points of those white lines.
"That's right, I knew it was the work of that demon god!" An Ruoran breathed a sigh of relief. While laughing and scolding, he couldn't help but admire the time traveler's prank skills. However, although they were surprised, both he and Vivian's abilities were above the super level, so they were naturally not afraid of these weird chess puppets. Shrugging his shoulders as if nothing had happened, An Ruoran shot out the catapult before it attacked, and a roll of silver flow had already wrapped it up.
By the time the silver flow dissipated, the copper catapult had been reduced to a pile of fragments. But before An Ruoran returned to Vivian, the pile of fragments re-condensed into a catapult in the flash of blue light, and at the same time launched another attack without hesitation. Vivian opened the barrier to resist and whispered: "It's useless! No matter how many times you destroy them, they will recover. An'an, take a few steps back, a new attack is coming!"
As if to verify her words, all the chess pieces launched attacks at the same time, either from a distance or in close combat, forcing An Ruoran and Vivian to open their barriers to resist. After being helpless for a few minutes, Vivian shook her head with a wry smile, sighed and said: "There is no other way, let's get out of here first."
An Ruoran nodded, knowing that this was the only solution. After more than ten minutes, the magic circle gradually stopped working. The two took this opportunity to escape from the magic circle and returned to the outside of the silver water curtain. Vivian breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the tired An Ruoran and said: "As you can see, we can't pass this magic circle at all. In the past hundreds of years, it's not like there weren't strong demons who tried Yes, but even if they knock down all the pieces, the magic circle will still keep running."
"Well, I think the way to crack this magic circle is not to knock down the chess pieces, but" An Ruoran shook his head, frowning and thinking about the inner meaning of this chess magic circle. According to his understanding, since it is a game of chess, the game should end with one party defeating the other. But it's strange. He only saw blue chess pieces just now, so where are the chess pieces of another color?
The sudden sound of footsteps interrupted An Ruoran's thinking. It seemed that someone was walking towards this direction. Vivian was taken aback and quickly took out a ball from her arms while making a silent gesture. Then, the ball's light flashed gently, and the two of them suddenly blended into the wall without any hindrance, as if they had never existed. Almost at the same time, several demon figures appeared at the corner of the stairs. The first ones were Demon Lord, Catherine, and Rhine.
"How could it be them?" An Ruoran was startled and did not dare to act rashly, so she could only stick to the wall. But he really found it strange. The Demon Lord had clearly claimed that he would attack the Falum tribe in three days, so why was he still free to come to the Observation Tower? Could it be that he also planned to try to open the magic circle of the Observation Tower?
However, this question was soon solved. When a dozen demons walked to the silver water curtain, Rhine suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty, your plan this time is really ingenious! I think at this time, Faru The Mu tribe must be doing their best to reinforce Yago City, how could they have thought that we were already here."
"Jiejie, that's why I deliberately said that after three days, I want to give them enough time to make arrangements." Demon Lord showed a faint smile, but when he turned his eyes to the silver water curtain, his expression quickly turned into a serious look. : "But Rhine, are you sure what the old craftsman said is right? If IWe have wasted time here in vain, and if Yago City cannot be successfully captured because of this, you know what punishment you will receive! "
"Yes, my subordinates have indeed asked the old guy in detail. I believe there won't be any big problems." Rhine's complexion changed slightly and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but he still explained in a trembling voice, "The old guy said he picked it up accidentally. There are several design drawings of the Demon God, and they do mention the method of cracking the magic circle. I found the sealed information of our Modo tribe and checked, and it is really the handwriting of the Demon God."
"Very good, then let's give it a try. Maybe the Demon Lord is helping me!" Nodding with satisfaction, the Demon Lord hesitantly reached out towards the silver water curtain. A few seconds later, a vortex slowly appeared on the silver water curtain, and sucked everyone in within an instant. However, before entering the water curtain, the Demon Lord still hesitated and looked around, which made An Ruoran's heart beat faster, fearing that he would accidentally see through his disguise.
Fortunately, nothing unexpected happened. As the Demon King entered the water curtain, the tower returned to calm. An Ruoran breathed a sigh of relief, and got out of the disguise of the wall. He frowned slightly and glanced at the silver water curtain. He suddenly said in deep thought: "Vivian, I'll go in and take a look. You wait for me here."
Before Vivian could answer, he turned into a stream of silver and slowly flowed along the water curtain into the magic circle. When Vivian tried to stop him, it was too late, and she could only helplessly watch him take risks. You must know that although the ball can achieve a temporary camouflage effect, it will be seen through if it moves slightly, but it is not as good as the hidden effect of the silver stream.
On the other hand, An Ruoran has transformed into a silver stream and sneaked into the magic circle. He did not dare to alert the Demon Lord and Catherine, so he could only transform into a silver stream and hide behind the blue chess pieces, watching from a distance silently. Fortunately, the Demon Lord did not notice the abnormality here. After a few low-pitched discussions with Lain, he suddenly walked to the junction of the Chu River and the Han Dynasty and stepped on each of the four traditional Chinese characters. And then, something weird happened at this moment
Amid the roar, the barrier that originally enveloped the plains suddenly flickered, and one side of it slowly dissipated. After the light curtain receded, what was revealed was a flat land of the same size as this side. And on this flat land that is also covered with thick white lines, there are actually more than a dozen chess pieces of different shapes standing. The difference is that the ripples on these chess pieces are red-red luster. There is no doubt that this is the other side of the Chinese chess game. The blue chess pieces and the red chess pieces form a complete chess system.
"It turns out that this is the mechanism!" An Ruoran was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, and quickly remembered the Demon Lord's actions in his heart. At the same time, the Demon Lord had returned to the blue "Chess" chess piece. The blue light flashed past. He suddenly merged into the "Chess" chess piece and became one with the chess magic puppet.
And just when he turned into a "chess" chess player, all the blue chess pieces glowed blue at the same time, as if they had reached a spiritual connection with him. On the other side, the red chess pieces across the Chu River and Han borders also came to life. With a soft chirp, a red pawn pulled out his long sword and slowly pushed forward.
"Damn it, it turns out to be human chess!" An Ruoran suddenly realized it and waited intently to see how the Demon Lord played chess. But beyond his expectation, although the Demon Lord kept raising his fingers and pointing, he did not let the blue chess piece move a step. Catherine and Rhine looked at each other and couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, do you have any problems here?"
"Damn it, these chess pieces can't move at all!" Demon Lord looked a little anxious and couldn't help but curse in a low voice. Rhine's face was filled with astonishment, and he murmured: "How is it possible! The old craftsman clearly said that he had seen the Demon God move the chess pieces according to this step"
"Nonsense, you can't even move half a step!" Demon Lord snorted, pointing at the blue "horse" in the distance and said, "I want to move this piece forward one step, but no matter how I direct it, it's useless! What the hell! , why does the opponent's chess piece move forward so smoothly? Do I need to recite any spells?"
The Demon Lord spoke so angrily that An Ruoran hid in the distance and listened, but almost fainted from laughter. He didn't understand why the Demon Lord didn't move the chess pieces just now, but now that he heard these words, he suddenly realized the joke. It was a joke. You let the "horse" and "pawn" take one step forward. It's a damn thing if you can move it!
