Chapter 9: Terror
The board is square when not opened, with a protruding crescent-shaped crystal in the center, wooden flaps inlaid on both sides of the crescent, and there are no rules written on the surface of the board, only the name of the game - terror.
Wang Xu felt in his heart that this name was really good, and in this game, the punishment that the loser would face was indeed terrifying.
Mr. You lifted the flaps on both sides of the crescent moon, and the inside of this game looks very simple, with four chess pieces, two dice, and the starting point from the four corners of the chessboard leads to the crescent crystal in the middle.
"Pick a piece you like." Mr. You made a "please" gesture.
Wang Xu glanced at the chess pieces, which were a carnivorous dinosaur, a western cowboy, a medieval ironclad knight, and a red bat monster. He didn't think much about it, he reached out to grab the red bat, but the moment his fingertips touched the chess piece, the bat chess piece seemed to come alive, and he jumped to the starting point of Wang Xu's side, and then it was like being nailed to the chessboard, no matter how hard Wang Xu tried, he couldn't move for half a minute.
"Hey...... Don't you happen to have another game called Jumanji......" Wang Xu asked.
Mr. You smiled and said, "Jumanji must be played by four people, but terror can be played by two people, and there is no rule that all chess pieces must participate." He paused: "Even if I do have Jumanji, that kind of game is too simple for you and me." ”
"At least play that won't be bald......"
Mr. You ignored Wang Xu's complaints, and he chose the knight as his pawn, "This game is very simple, we take turns throwing the dice until one side reaches the end or dies, and then the winner can be decided." He smiled mysteriously: "There will be something terrible happening on every grid on the way~~~"
"As long as you don't become bald in the process of playing......"
"Do you care so much about that......"
"Less wordy...... The dead fat man ...... "Wang Xu grabbed the dice and threw them."
Two six, twelve o'clock.
The pieces start to walk automatically on the board.
Mr. You smiled, "You seem to be very good at rolling dice." ”
"Do you have any grievances?" Wang Xu's eyes were about to pop out.
"Hehehe...... No, no, it's just that I didn't expect you to have this kind of technology, it seems that if you don't die, you will definitely be able to reach the end first. So...... Come on. ”
The last three words were already very vague to Wang Xu, because the scene in front of him began to distort and decompose. It's like the yolks and whites of a dozen eggs are churned together.
When his vision became clear again, Wang Xu found himself standing in an open space with a full moon hanging in the sky.
"I always feel a little familiar here...... Could it be ......?"
"Claw Blade Wind Blade!" A low roar came from behind Wang Xu.
He dodged almost instinctively, but the outside of his left arm was still slashed by a sharp bolt of energy. Fortunately, the wound is not too deep and should heal in less than a minute. Wang Xu looked back from his wound and saw a three-meter-tall werewolf with a steel mane all over his body staring at him with blood-red eyes.
"Isn't it...... Big brother ......" The corners of Wang Xu's mouth twitched: "He Jiamu? ”
The werewolf came step by step: "I, just one of your fears! ”
Wang Xu was still playing with the meaning of this "one", the other party's attack struck again, and a huge beast-like black shadow arrived in front of him almost instantly, and then the full moon werewolf was close and a furious claw blasted from Wang Xu's left front.
With a bang, Wang Xu was slapped out, although his left arm was injured on top of injury, but at least he sacrificed this arm to unload a lot of the power of the blow just now, and did not hurt his head and torso.
Wang Xu quickly stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Hey...... Even after all this time, this kind of strength and pain can still bring back some bad memories for me......" He couldn't help but think of the pain and shock when his neck was broken by a slap.
He Jiamu crossed his claws in front of him, and the invisible moonlight gradually condensed into his body, and an unknown energy was gathering and lifting on his arm......
"Hey...... My 'once' fear actually put some super special moves that I 'once' never saw before...... It's a foul! Wang Xu complained.
The werewolf roared in return: "Ten Wind Blades!" Throughout! ”
Wang Xu's pupils contracted at this moment, and the oppression of fear and danger hit like a huge wave.
Will die! The real pain in his left arm, the aura emanating from the opponent in front of him, the terrifying attack that approached like lightning but never appeared in vision.
Authentic.
It's all true.
This trick...... Must be dodged!
In less than a second, Wang Xu flashed countless thoughts, he didn't have to see it at all, he didn't have to try to pick it up, and he wouldn't analyze the principle of this move like the cat master, the instinct of the battle had already made the body react naturally, and he had to dodge, this was the only answer!
If an ordinary wind blade is a dagger, then the Ten Wind Blades are like blades falling from a guillotine, and their pure destructive power is no less than that of a ghost roar. Moreover, the ghost roar is a large-scale bombardment, but the penetration is a slash that concentrates all forces on one line.
However, no matter how strong the move is, if it misses the target, it is meaningless. This undoubtedly made Wang Xu very happy, because he relied on the reaction of foresight and a posture of a domestic cat lying in the sand rubbing his back and tickling his back to completely dodge this blow.
"Whew...... That's a big deal. Wang Xu turned over and looked behind him, and the sudden wind blade flew all the way into the distant woods, and the trees were neatly and easily scraped off half like cream on a cake......
He Jiamu doesn't talk to him, and he seems to have begun to brew his next attack. Wang Xu didn't want to give him this kind of opportunity again, he jumped up with a carp, stretched out one hand and shook it in the void, and the corners of his mouth showed an extremely confident look: "Abyss gluttony!" ”
The pitch-black energy spread out from the ground beneath the werewolf's feet and turned into a swamp, and the substantial-like darkness restrained He Jiamu's body like an outstretched tentacle. The werewolf's extraordinary physical abilities seemed so weak at this moment.
"After all, the weakness is that the spiritual sense is too weak, at least this has not changed." Wang Xu pressed his fist down, and the darkness enveloped the werewolf, causing it to sink into the ground.
…………
After a brief moment of distraction, Wang Xu found himself still sitting opposite Mr. You, with the strange chessboard in front of him.
"Just now......" he asked.
Mr. You said directly: "You were in a daze for about ten seconds. He smiled, "Judging from the fact that you didn't suddenly die, this step should be completed, and you can perform the curse." ”
"Huh?" Wang Xu was stunned.
Mr. You explains, "The feature of this game is that every time you succeed in pushing a step forward, you can curse any other player, and since it's only the two of us playing right now, it's ...... The curse card is there, you can draw one and read it out. ”
Wang Xu suddenly laughed wickedly; "Hey, hey, hey...... Dead fatty, you also have today! He pulled out one from the middle of the card stack, originally there was no handwriting on the card, but when Wang Xu brought it to his eyes, a strange text and Chinese appeared on it at the same time, and a strange magic array appeared around it.
He read aloud, "Demon Backfire!" ”
Then, nothing happened...... As a result, Wang Xu's face was instantly filled with anger.
Mr. You smiled: "Don't worry, I can't cheat, the curse has already taken effect." You look at the moon in the middle of the chessboard. ”
Wang Xu took a closer look, and a vague pattern appeared in the protruding crescent crystal, which was as indistinct as a reflection in water, but it could be roughly seen that it was a medieval ironclad knight being suppressed by a red demon.
Mr. You's two dice have been rolled, five and two, for a total of seven points. His chess pieces also automatically advanced forward, and before entering the illusion of this step, Mr. You did not forget to explain to Wang Xu: "Demon Backfire will affect me in this round of mine......"
Wang Xu looked at the dead fat man, his eyes suddenly dilated, and he stopped moving, thinking that he must have entered the same state as himself just now.
In less than ten seconds, the knight's body on the chessboard lit up, and then the cursed scroll in the crescent crystal vanished. Mr. You regained his senses, he picked up a handkerchief and wiped the large amount of sweat that oozed from his forehead: "It really caused me a lot of trouble...... You should have a rough idea of how the game works by now, right? ”
Wang Xu said: "You quietly let me go first, you want me to familiarize myself with the rules, so that I don't die in the first curse, right?" ”
"Yes, you're a newbie, isn't that fair?"
"Hmph...... You are indeed a guy who is so bored that you panic......" Wang Xu replied disdainfully, but he was thinking: Dead fat, at this time you are still carrying forward the Olympic spirit, I have to admit that you are really sharp......
Mr. You's words interrupted Wang Xu's thoughts: "I'm going to curse you~~" He stretched out his fleshy hand and directly grabbed the top one of the curse card piles, and a few seconds later, he still said in a tone that the fish did not startle and did not jump: "Ballista." ”
