Chapter Twenty-Nine: A Live Chess Game
Zhang Yu, who was fighting alone in the front, gradually surrounded by a scarecrow.
The remaining scarecrows began to pour towards us, their slender nails as piercing as those of the Reaper of Death. I tried to pull out my pistol and hit the scarecrow in the head, but to no avail.
Time seemed to stand still. Scarecrows came towards us in droves, without Zhang Yu, I couldn't help but feel a panic in my heart, the fat man turned his back to us, his whole body trembled violently, and the smell of commotion began to come to my face.
The monkey had a hint of embarrassment on his face and glanced at me, looking like he was about to speak. I didn't expect the iron man monkey to be twisted and grinning, so I immediately urged: "Monkey, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Forehead.........
Say it! I shouted hurriedly.
There was a hint of firmness on the monkey's face, and he said to me: "Little Ke Ye, although these Mengpo are more evil, as long as we cover our noses with our wet diapers, those Mengpo will not be able to determine our location for a while. Last time, Chuan Ye and I used this to find the leaders of those Meng Po."
It sounds similar to the smell of zombies. It's just that the process is much more difficult. The fat man didn't know how he knew, so he first took the cloth and covered it on his nose.
The situation is critical, and there is no room for reflection.
As soon as I said I, I tore off a piece of my sleeve, and then did as the monkey had told me, and it didn't take long for it to be done.
The scarecrows that invaded us couldn't find our specific location in an instant, and they began to rush towards Zhang Yu. Zhang Yu jumped into the air, ran to us, and saw that we were all covering our noses with cloths, so he immediately took out the handkerchief inlaid with the word "Buddha" and covered it on our noses.
Unable to find the target, the scarecrows stood quietly on the meta-ground. The fat man's eyes were wide open, and he looked at the dry handkerchief on Zhang Yu's nose, and a fine light suddenly shot out of his eyes, "Little brother, your handkerchief is really not simple, this time it opened my eyes again."
Hush!
Zhang Yu made a silent gesture, then pointed to the rows of scarecrows, and whispered: "There are eight rows in total, each of us is responsible for two rows, and we will strive to find the leader within five minutes."
I tried to hold my breath, soothe my beating heart, and walked towards the first row.
These scarecrows look exactly the same, but in terms of their differences, I think there are some articles on their nails. With this in mind, I crouched down and began to sweep through it from beginning to end, but found nothing.
Maybe it's not fingernails, I thought so, tentatively went around the second row again, and when I walked from the beginning to the end, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, just now there was a scarecrow's fingernails that seemed to be dark gray, different from other dark black, I tried to walk back, and before I took a few steps, I found the unique scarecrow, the fingernails were dark gray.
I beckoned to Zhang Yu and the others, the three of them suddenly walked over, the monkey wanted to speak, Zhang Yu suddenly waved his hand, and then swiped it towards the palm of his hand, a few drops of blood were facing the handkerchief, Zhang Yu covered the handkerchief on the scarecrow, and his eyes signaled us to step back.
We all stepped back, only to see the scarecrow covered with the handkerchief begin to scream, and then a flame burst out from the whole body, growing larger and larger, and spontaneously combusting all over the body. As it spontaneously combusted, the other scarecrows around it began to spontaneously combust one after another, and black smoke billowed from the entire room, but they all went towards the top of the cave.
As soon as Zhang Yu took back the handkerchief, before we could find the exit, the whole ground began to shake violently.
The stone face beneath our feet slowly protruded, revealing a rectangular stone slab, and the surrounding stone walls shook with it, and from within rushed out stone statues holding sharp spears. The road was suddenly sealed, and before we could figure out what was going on, the longboard shook again, and stone statues holding weapons began to emerge from under our feet, each standing in a position on the longboard.
Only now do we clearly see that the so-called longboard turned out to be a chess game, and it was an incomplete chess game. I saw that there were squares carved on it, and the one standing on our side was the handsome side and the red side. Four pillars of light shone on our side, we tried to walk up, as soon as we stepped into the pillar of light, the whole body suddenly froze, and there was an invisible suction force, nailing ourselves to the chessboard.
I looked down at my feet, and I saw a groove suddenly popping out of the square under my feet, and a long sword began to emerge from it, straight across my hand. I tried to pick it up, but it wasn't very heavy at all, and the moment my hand touched the sword, my body lit up, and the word "horse" appeared on my body. "Could it be that I am a horse in chess" Thinking of this, I looked back suddenly, only to see that Zhang Yu appeared with the word "rook", and the monkey showed the word "soldier", and the fat man did not know when he stood in the central area, with the word "handsome" on his body, and his face was still a little complacent.
I thought to myself, this is a real chess game, and the fat man, as the coach, is holding our lives in his hands. I tried to ask the fat man, "Fat man, how are you playing chess?"
Hearing my words, the fat man was slightly stunned, and then replied with a smile: "I went down when I was young, and I haven't done it for more than ten years."
The heart was half cold, and it seemed that the fat man did not anticipate the danger he was about to face.
The cave began to light up, and a candle suddenly appeared above our heads, and for some reason it spontaneously combusted, presumably with a spontaneous combustion item resembling white phosphorus on top of the candle. At the base of the candle, embedded in it is the fuse of explosives, which is tied to the stone wall in mid-air. Next to the candle was a long knife standing still, with a thick rope attached to it, which stretched all the way to the chessboard at our feet.
Good subtle design. The person who arranges the chess game has a clear purpose. If we can't win the game within the allotted time, otherwise the candle will burn to the roots and the fuse will be lit. If we win the game, then the built-in mechanism in the chessboard will pull up the long rope, and the candle will be cut with the help of a long knife, which is the specific design.
By the time I came to myself, the opposing general's side was already at war.
At present, on our side, the forces are mainly concentrated on the right side, and the forces of the other side extend to the east and west, in an even state, and our side is in a situation of flanking from the left and right.
This chess game has something to do with Li Zicheng, is this the situation when Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, Wu Sangui and the Qing soldiers attacked Li Zicheng together? The more you look at it, the more it looks.
The opponent's soldiers first crossed the river boundary, the chariot followed closely behind, and then the forces on the left hand side of the opponent all advanced forward, striving to form a steel tong on the east and west sides, and clamped us to the death.
As a handsome fat man looked at everything that happened, and didn't know what to do, his eyes were open, and his face showed confusion, and I hurriedly shouted: "Fatty, you gave the order!" ”。
The opponent's army on the right began to follow the call of the army on the left and pressed up. Three of the five soldiers in front of him died, and one of the remaining two was a monkey.
The monkey's muscles were exposed, and he desperately wanted to leave the chessboard, but he couldn't move, turned around, and scolded the fat man, "Dead fat man, you have something to say!" The enemy is about to hit your hometown, you don't even let out a fart, you say you are not a gentleman".
"Who said I didn't put it, I just didn't make a sound!" The fat man waved his hand, "No matter!" All of them jumped over the center of the enemy and hit the enemy's hinterland."
As soon as the fat man's words fell, I involuntarily moved along the square, and when I encountered the enemy's pawn, I picked up my sword and swung it at it.
At this moment, it is like a saying in history: the enemy stretched out his two fists, and the chest in the middle was exposed.
Things were beyond my expectations, Zhang Yu took the lead, attacking the enemy's hinterland like a bamboo, and the momentum was like a rainbow. I was in charge of the action, and it took less than a few minutes for the victory to be decided. The stone statues lined up on both sides suddenly moved to the sides, and the candles above their heads were also cut off, and the stone wall, which had no exit, suddenly appeared a stone door and opened widely.
The fat man walked over, and before he could speak, Zhang Yu immediately ran towards the stone gate with the golden crow treasure knife.
