Chapter Seventy-Three: The Past

In the faint light, this weird skeleton sat down three feet in front of the old man, and then grabbed the ground with his bone arm seemingly at random, Shen Shi only felt that the ground under his feet suddenly trembled, and there was a low and dull sound, as the bone arm was raised, a square stone platform rose from the ground, and a little smoke and dust suddenly drifted in the air, and after the dust precipitation calmed down, Shen Shi saw that the lines on the two-foot square stone platform were vertical and horizontal, and the black and white chess pieces were all over it, and the two sides were inseparable from the fight.

On the left and right sides of the chessboard, there is a rough downward concave stone nest, which seems to be a place to place the chess pieces, but at this moment most of the chess pieces have been placed on the chessboard, and there are very few black and white chess pieces in the two stone nests.

The skeleton glanced at this game of chess, its jaw was slightly open, although it was fleshless, it could still make it feel a happy emotion, hehe, smiled, and said, "It's time for me to play, right?"

The old man, who was leaning back against the dragon's stump, looked at it silently, but did not speak.

The skeleton was not angry, it looked really good, although the face was a little hideous, but I saw it reach out to the stone nest on his right hand, where there were white chess pieces, Bai Sensen's bone joints flexed, and soon it picked up a white chess piece, but did not immediately put it down in his hand, but stared for a moment, and suddenly sighed faintly, and said: "One step has fallen for thousands of years, this game of chess is really a long time, but ......" It raised its eyes to look at the old man, and said, " I've seen through the game, and if I fall, I'll win. Old dragon and old dragon, are you afraid or not?"

The old man, whom he called "Old Dragon", did not have the slightest strange look in his dim eyes, as if these eyes had already seen the vicissitudes of the world, and there was nothing worth it to be moved by.

The old man didn't seem to react, and the skeleton's eyes flashed with a ghostly fire, as if sarcastic, and then his arm was raised, and he was about to fall on the chessboard. But at this moment, the old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke again:

"Is this the one you've thought about for the longest time?"

The skull arm paused, and then smiled, and the gentle and pleasant woman's voice carried a bit of memory, and said: "It seems that you are really old and confused, have you forgotten everything? Now I have thought about this son for a thousand and thirty-three years, although it is not short, but it is not the longest I have thought about." I remember it very clearly, the longest time spent 5,177 years, and the shortest time was 68 years.

"But, at the end of the day, I'm going to win. Speaking of the latter, the skeleton added with a smile, watching it say this sentence repeatedly, and it seemed that it did take the outcome of this game very seriously.

The old dragon didn't seem to show any surprise about the outcome of the chess game, he just looked at the skeleton that seemed to be a little small at the moment, and after a while, he suddenly said lightly: "You remember the time of every fall so clearly, it seems that for so many years, you must be going crazy." ”

"Boom", a sudden low and muffled sound, suddenly came from the skeleton's side, Shen Shi was startled, from just now he felt that the old man and this strange skeleton were by no means ordinary, but he was afraid that they were both powerful people beyond his reach, so he had been honestly standing in the distance and peeping. It's just that this muffled sound was a little sudden, but when he turned his eyes, he didn't find anything unusual, and he was feeling strange, but Shen Shi suddenly found that the somewhat thin skeleton seemed to look over and was a little shorter.

Shen Shi was surprised in his heart, and looked carefully, and after a while, he suddenly saw that on the ground where the skeleton was sitting, on the hard stone face several feet square, the entire rock suddenly shattered, and it sank a few inches neatly.

The two ghost fires burned slowly in the eyes of this skeleton, and it seemed to be silent, but the relaxed and happy mood before had disappeared from this strange skeleton, and it seemed that the old man's understatement was just stabbing the sore spot of this skeleton.

It was as if a camouflage scar had been coldly lifted, revealing a bloody wound inside.

The skeleton suddenly laughed, sneering.

It looked at the old man fixedly, smiled, and suddenly said, "What about you, what about you?"

The wrinkles on the old man's face did not move.

In the lonely stone cave, it seemed that there was a sudden silence, and all the sound suddenly disappeared, only the skeleton's voice with a strong sense of sarcasm echoed faintly in this darkness:

"What's the name of our place, 'Zhen Soul Yuan', right, what a domineering name, you dragged me here back then, thinking of killing me here, so you took this name, right?" Its white bone knuckles gently played with the white chess piece, and said lightly, "But now, who still remembers me, but there are people in the world who know this place, they all think that it is a Yin Dragon that is suppressed here." ”

Yin Dragon, sure enough, Yin Dragon!

Shen Shi's heart fluctuated as he listened to it, and finally confirmed his earlier conjecture in his heart, but what kind of identity was this skeleton that suddenly appeared, it seemed that it could not only confront the Ancient Yin Dragon, but even faintly gain the upper hand.

The skeleton stared at the chess piece in his hand, the sarcasm in his eyes was even heavier, and said: "If you don't do it, you have to go against me, do this thankless thing, what are you for?" Oh, I remember, is it the 'God's Testament', just those few pieces of broken paper, you spent a million years with me? Haha, the most ridiculous thing is that with the power of your primeval dragon, you can indeed suppress me, but now why did you fall into such a field?"

"Because you want to protect the descendants of the gods, the descendants of the gods who have the blood of the Pangu Titan God, right?"

"You said I remember it clearly, hehe, of course I remember, I remember the scene when those divine descendants rushed into the Soul Suppression Abyss, I remember every bit clearly. ”

The skeleton let out a long, hearty laugh filled with vicious pleasure.

"Have you forgotten yourself? I don't think you will forget, that day, I hid in the depths of the sea of bones for a long time, watching you consume half of your dragon power on me, and then suddenly besieged by the gods you want to protect, I still remember your frightened and painful eyes at that time?"

It looked up to the sky and smiled, like madness, and the white chess pieces silently turned into ashes at its fingertips, "Those gods are powerful, they really deserve to have the blood of gods, although they are not as good as the two of us at the peak, but it is more than enough to deal with you at that time." I watched them cut off your claws, cut off your dragon body, and finally gouge out your eyes!"

"They even set up a protoss ban to lock you up and never turn over, so over the years, I have slowly absorbed the power of the earth evil to restore the Tao, but you can only weaken until you run out of oil. ”

"At that time, I was so happy, I laughed in my bones and trembled, and for so many years, every time I thought about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. ”

"Hahaha......"

The skeleton laughed and laughed, and if it weren't for the ghost fire in its eyes, it might even laugh out of tears, and then it laughed and looked at the old man, holding his hand in anticipation, leaning forward slightly, and laughing: "Then how do you feel, old dragon?"

"Will you feel very sad and angry, will you feel sad, will you be depressed and going crazy?"

※※※

Zhen Soul Abyss, is it the primeval Yin Dragon that is suppressed, or the mysterious and unpredictable ancient ghosts?

The skull's happy laughter still echoed in the cavern, far away in the darkness, and the old man's face still did not change, only the gaze in his cloudy eyes seemed to be a little darker.

Then, he looked a little struggling to raise his head, looked at the skeleton across a stone chessboard in front of him, and said lightly in an old but calm voice: "Do you think you won?"

The skeleton slowly suppressed its laughter, glanced at him, the ghost fire in its eyes slowly burned, and said gently, "Isn't it?"

It stretched out its bone arm again, took out one of the few white chess pieces left in the stone nest, and said: "In this game of chess, you take black first, but in the end, after all, it is still me who strikes after the white chess, isn't it?"

"Smack!" the skeleton didn't seem to hesitate any longer, and the white piece slapped into the game accurately and decisively.

In the darkness, there was a long roar, and the infinite sea of bones in the distance rose from the white bones.

On the lone peak, the black crystal light was in full bloom, and the gap that was stretched out expanded again, gradually pulling apart, and the pillar of light that fell from the sky obviously looked a little powerless, and it was exactly the appearance of retreat. The Hou family and his wife were overjoyed, seeing that the red giant egg gradually appeared in front of them, and their eyes showed greed again.

Under the soul suppression abyss, the old dragon did not look closely at the new chess piece made by the skeleton, but looked at the ghost fire burning in its eyes lightly, and suddenly said: "You yourself should know that even if you go out from here, this time is different from the past, there is no more 'underworld' in the world, and you will never be able to return to the original realm." As he spoke, he seemed to sigh with a hint of bitterness, shook his head, and said, "This may be the only right thing that those idiot gods did in the first place, although they thought that 'Stygian' was the source of my dragon power, so they took it away and destroyed it." ”

The skeleton's body paused obviously, and it seemed that he also attached great importance to this so-called "underworld" who didn't know what it was, and his tone suddenly had a little anger in his tone, and he scolded lightly in his mouth, and then said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, let's fall quickly, anyway, you will lose, and after the last few moves, you can die." ”

The old man was silent for a moment, and then suddenly said, "I don't want to die, okay?"

The skeleton was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect the old man in front of him to say this, and he didn't seem to react for a while, and only after a moment was he stunned: "What did you just say?"

The old man shook his head and said, "I don't want to die yet." ”

The skeleton sneered, "Do you think I can still handle you now?"

The old man said lightly: "If I don't fall behind, this game of chess will not be over." We can't kill each other until the game is over, and don't forget, you set this rule yourself. ”

The skeleton was furious, pointed at the old man and shouted: "This game of chess is clearly decided, the victory and defeat have been decided, and you are still an ancient dragon, what does this mean?"

The wrinkles on the old man's face seemed to be deeper, and it seemed that even the strength to sit steadily was gradually lacking, but although his eyes were cloudy, they were already calm, and then under the angry ghost fire of the skeleton and the surprised and surprised gaze of Shen Shi on the other side, he only heard him say calmly:

"I'm going to start cheating!"
