Shen Luo looked at Lang Pu with a look of helplessness on his face.
"You are not a human race. As long as you don't interfere, I can let you go." said the Sky-Eating Tiger.
When Lang Pu heard this, he took a few steps back sideways as if to show his sincerity.
"What other tricks do you have this time?" The Sky-Eating Tiger walked towards Shen Luo slowly, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Shen Luo stared at the Sky-devouring Tiger, holding the half-moon ring in his hand, and slowly retreated backwards.
"Roar..."
The Sky-Eating Tiger suddenly let out a roar, suddenly jumped forward, and flew towards Shen Luo.
Lang Pu, who was beside it, suddenly had a cunning look in his eyes, and he actually started to move at the same time.
I saw the black gold trident held in the crab claws suddenly whirling rapidly, and a blue light lit up on the tip of the trident, turning into a fuzzy sharp cone, with an extremely sharp momentum, thrust straight into it. The waist and abdomen of the Sky Devouring Tiger.
Just when he saw the sharp edge spitting out from the tip of the halberd about to pierce into the Sky-eating Tiger's body, a strong wind suddenly sounded.
The long tail of the Sky-devouring Tiger "sizzled", it was wrapped in a layer of blue electric wire, and it suddenly drew sideways.
When Lang Pu saw this, he suddenly retracted the black gold trident tightly clamped in his claws, turned the spear head and stabbed it towards the ground, while the other crab claws caught up with the tiger's tail.
There was an unusual "clang" sound, and a hole opened in the ground. Half of the trident was pierced into it, and Lang Pu's right pliers just caught the Sky-Eating Tiger's tail.
In an instant, a powerful current passed through the armor and entered Lang Pu's body.
The crab armor on Lang Pu's body lit up with a layer of blue light, enveloping the layer of electric current. He managed to hold on, but he was still beaten until his whole body was filled with smoke and he screamed repeatedly.
"Boy Shen, this guy won't be fooled. I'll hold him back and you run away." Lang Pu let out a long cry.
"Fellow Daoist Lang Pu, don't hold on." Shen Luo frowned, knowing that he could not hesitate, he quickly used his psychic technique again, dropped a vortex beside Lang Pu, turned around and ran away .
"I guess you have a conscience." Lang Pu sighed secretly when he saw this.
The Sky-eating Tiger jumped forward and wanted to chase after him, but was tightly held by Lang Pu and could not break free for a while.
It was furious in its heart, its bloody mouth opened wide again, and strands of electric wires were entangled in its throat, and a solid ball of blue electric light condensed out.
Seeing that the ball of light was about to erupt, Lang Pu's whole body glowed brightly. The crab claws on his right arm seemed to have grown a little bigger, and he struggled to pull it down.
The Sky Devouring Tiger's figure became unstable, and the light ball lost its accuracy and flew out diagonally.
There was a loud "boom"!
The blue electric light ball failed to hit Shen Luo, but landed beside him, and the blast of air suddenly surged in.
Shen Luo tilted his body and was thrown away, falling outside the dense forest.
He was in unbearable pain all over his body, and there was blood oozing from the corners of his mouth. He still struggled to get up and continued to run towards the top of the mountain.
After a short burst of fighting sounds behind him, only the roar of the Sky-Eating Tiger remained.
Shen Luo didn't bother to check Lang Pu's situation. After running up a few hundred feet, he found that there was no road ahead, only a cliff more than a hundred feet high.
He then remembered that Ying Luo had mentioned before that there were many branching roads below the mountainside of Fangcun Mountain, but when reaching the mountainside, there seemed to be only one way to continue climbing to the top.
Shen Luo did not hesitate and immediately climbed up using his hands and feet, grabbing the protruding rocks and cracks on the mountain wall.
As soon as he reached the top of the cliff, he found a plum tree seven or eight feet tall growing near the edge of the cliff. The trunk was dry and black, the leaves were withered, and it looked like it had lost much of its life.
Shen Luo didn't want to stay, but took a quick glance and walked past the tree, wanting to continue on his way.
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of a three-foot-high square stone platform under the plum tree. There were nineteen vertical and horizontal lines carved on it, and there were many items on it. The black and white chess pieces are clearly the remnants of a Go game.
With a thought in his mind, he couldn't help but think of the story about the woodcutter that Yingluo had told before, and he couldn't help but stare at the chessboard.
However, the vision of the black and white soldiers fighting that the woodcutter saw did not appear in front of him.
Although Shen Luo is not interested in the art of Go, he has also read some chess records such as "Four Character Score" and "Xuanxuan Collection" and knows some chess formulas, but he does not understand them well. Not profound.
He could see that the black chess was dominant on the board and had blocked the white chess, leaving only one breath.
Shen Luo's gaze shifted slightly and he saw two lines of small characters engraved on the right side of the chessboard, which read:
"After mountains and rivers, there is no way out, and there is a village with dark flowers and bright willows." .
"Is there any mystery on this chessboard?" He thought and quickly looked back and forth on the chessboard several times.
At this glance, he discovered that the remaining breath of the white chess piece was just an illusion. Once it was placed there, within ten moves, the white chess piece would be surrounded again. He even breathed his last.
"If you place it here, it seems like a suicide move, but if you live towards death, you can fight for a new world... Yes, this is it!" Shen Luo looked at the lower right corner of the chessboard. A position, murmured.
A hint of joy flashed in his eyes, and when he was about to raise his hand to touch the chess pieces, he found that the stone platform was empty and there were no chess pieces at all.
"Alas...it seems like I'm overthinking it again." Shen Luo slapped his forehead, straightened up and was about to leave.
At this time, a tiger roar suddenly sounded from the mountain forest, and a huge figure swooped out from behind a rock in front, landed on the cliff, and stared at Shen Luo eagerly.
"Let's see how you can escape this time?" the Sky-Eating Tiger roared.
Shen Luo felt extremely regretful. If he had known better, he would not have wasted his time here.
He was thinkingWhen he was about to escape, he suddenly caught a glimpse of vertical and horizontal lines carved on the steep cliff on the right, with hollow circles as white stones and solid circles as black stones, engraved with the same pattern as on the chessboard.
On the top of the chessboard, the four characters "Life is like a chess game" are engraved in ancient seal characters.
When Shen Luo saw these four big characters at a glance, a soft shout suddenly sounded in his heart, and he suddenly understood.
Life is like a chess game, and the human body is like a chess piece. Since there is no piece to fall on, then throw yourself into it.
The Sky-eating Tiger saw him staring at the cliff in a daze. Although he was confused, he still pounced towards him.
When Shen Luo saw this, he suddenly changed his mind, straightened his body, and slammed into the lower right corner of the chessboard on the cliff where the vertical and horizontal lines intersected.
A muffled sound of "bang" came, and a sharp pain suddenly shot through Shen Luo's shoulder.
The cliff is still a cliff. Is there any way out?
Just when Shen Luo thought he had guessed wrong, the chessboard on the entire cliff suddenly lit up, and the black and white chess pieces on it were like stars, shining brightly and darkly. Come.
Immediately afterwards, traces of chess pieces appeared on the unattended chessboard, like meteors streaking across the black and white marks, converging towards Shen Luo from all over the chessboard. .
