The chessboard was square when it was not opened, with a protruding crescent-shaped crystal in the middle, and the wooden cover was inlaid on both sides of the crescent. There were no rules or anything written on the surface of the chessboard, only the name of the game—terror.
From the bottom of his heart, Wang Xu felt that the name was too good. In this game, the punishment for the loser was indeed terrifying.
Mr. You opened the flaps on both sides of the crescent. The inside of this chess set also looks very simple. There are four chess pieces and two dice. The starting points from the four corners of the board all lead to the crescent crystal in the middle.
"Choose a chess piece you like." Mr. You made a "please" gesture.
Wang Xu glanced at the chess pieces, they were a carnivorous dinosaur, a western cowboy, a medieval armored knight and a red bat monster. He didn't think too much, and reached out to grab the red bat. As a result, the moment his fingertips touched the chess piece, the bat chess piece seemed to come alive, and rushed to the starting point on Wang Xu's side, and then As if being nailed to the chessboard, Ren Wangxu couldn't move half a cent no matter how hard he tried.
"Hey... You don't 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. There is no requirement that all chess pieces must participate." He paused: "Even if I really have Jumanji, for you and me, it is so The game is too simple."
"At least you won't get bald playing that..."
Mr. You ignored Wang Xu's complaints, and he chose the knight as his pawn, "This game is very simple, we take turns throwing dice until one side reaches the end or dies, and the winner will be determined." He said mysteriously Smiling: "Terrible things will happen on every grid on the way~~~"
"As long as you don't turn bald while playing..."
"Is that all you care about that..."
"Don't be so wordy...Fatty..." Wang Xu grabbed the dice and rolled it.
Two sixes, twelve o'clock.
The chess pieces start to walk automatically on the board.
Mr. You smiled and said, "You seem to be very good at throwing dice."
"Do you have any dissatisfaction?" Wang Xu's eyes almost popped out.
"Hehehe... No, I just didn't expect you to have this kind of technology. It seems that if you don't die, you will be able to reach the finish line first. Then... Come on."
The last three words were already very blurred to Wang Xu, because the scene in front of him began to distort and disintegrate. Like the yolks and whites of a dozen eggs 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 that this place looks familiar... Could it be..."
"Claw knife wind blade!" A low growl came from behind Wang Xu.
He dodged to the side almost instinctively, but the outside of his left arm was still cut by a sharp energy. Fortunately, the wound wasn't too deep, and it shouldn't take a minute to heal. Wang Xu clutched his wound and turned around, and saw a three-meter-high werewolf covered in steel bristles staring at him with blood-red eyes.
"No way... Brother..." Wang Xu's mouth twitched: "He Jiamu?"
The werewolf approached step by step: "I'm just one of your fears!"
Wang Xu was still thinking about the meaning of "one", when the other party's attack struck again, a black shadow like a giant beast arrived in front of his eyes almost instantly, and then the full moon werewolf approached behind Wang Xu's violent claws. Bombarded from the front left.
With a bang, Wang Xu was sent flying. Although his left arm was more injured, at least he sacrificed this arm to remove a lot of the force of the blow just now, without hurting his head and torso.
Wang Xu quickly stood up and patted the dust on his body: "Hey...even after so long, this kind of strength and pain can still bring back some bad memories for me..." At this moment, he couldn't help but think of himself The pain and shock when his neck was broken by a slap.
He Jiamu crossed his claws in front of his body, the invisible moonlight gradually condensed on his body, and an unknown energy was gathering and improving on his arms...
"Hey, hey... I've been" afraid to release some super nirvana that I've never seen before... This is a foul!" Wang Xu complained.
But the werewolf responded with a bloodthirsty growl: "Ten consecutive wind blades! Penetration!"
Wang Xu's pupils shrank at this moment, and the pressure of fear and danger hit him 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 his vision.
reality.
All this is true.
This trick... must be avoided!
In less than a second, countless thoughts flashed through Wang Xu. He didn't have to see it, and he didn't have to try to catch it, and he didn't analyze the principle of this move like Master Cat. The instinct of fighting had already made his body act I had a natural reaction and had to dodge, this was the only answer!
If the ordinary wind blade is a dagger, then the ten consecutive wind blades are like the blades falling from the guillotine, and its pure destructive power is no less than that of Guixiao. Moreover, Gui Xiao is a large-scale bombardment, but Guantu is a slash that concentrates all its power on a single line.
However, no matter how strong the move is, if it fails to hit the target, it is meaningless. This undoubtedly made Wang Xu very lucky, because he relied on the foresight reaction and the posture of a domestic cat lying on the sand to rub its back and tickle, and completely dodged the blow.
"Huh... this is terrible." Wang Xu turned over and looked behind him. The sharp wind blades flew all the way to the distant woods. Easily scraped off half a layer...
He Jiamu did not talk to him, and he seemed to be planning his next attack. But Wang Xu didn't want to give him this kind of opportunity again, he jumped up like a carp, stretched out his hand to hold it in the void, and showed a very confident expression on the corner of his mouth: "Abyss gluttonous!"
The pitch-black energy spread out from the ground under the werewolf's feet, turning into a swamp, and the substantial darkness clamped He Jiamu's body like tentacles. The werewolf's extraordinary physical ability seemed so weak at this moment.
"The weakness is that the spiritual consciousness is too weak after all, 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 absence, Wang Xu found himself still sitting opposite Mr. You, with the weird chessboard in front of him.
"Just now..." He opened his mouth to ask something.
Mr. You said directly: "You were in a daze for about ten seconds." He smiled: "From the fact that you didn't die suddenly, this step should be completed, and you can curse."
"Ah?" Wang Xu was taken aback.
Mr. You explained: "The feature of this game is that every time you make a successful move, you can cast a curse on any other player. Since only the two of us are playing now, so... the curse card is there, you can draw one at will." Zhang, just read it out."
Wang Xu suddenly laughed wickedly; "Hey hey hey... you fat man, you have today too!" He took out a card from the middle of the pile of cards, originally there was no handwriting on the card, but when Wang Xu held it in front of his eyes, , a strange text and Chinese appeared on it at the same time, and a strange magic pattern also appeared around it.
He read aloud: "Demon Backfire!"
Then, nothing happened... Thus, Wang Xu's face was instantly filled with anger.
Mr. You smiled and said, "Don't worry, I can't cheat, the curse has already taken effect. Look at the moon in the middle of the chessboard."
Wang Xu took a closer look, and there was a fuzzy pattern in the protruding crescent crystal, which was as indistinct as a reflection in water, but it could be seen that a medieval iron knight was being suppressed by a red demon look.
Mr. You's two dice have been thrown, five and two, for a total of seven points. His pawns also moved forward automatically. Before entering the illusion of this step, Mr. You did not forget to explain to Wang Xu: "The devil's backfire will affect me during my round..."
Wang Xu watched the fat man suddenly lose his eyes and stopped moving, thinking that he must have entered the same state as himself just now.
In less than ten seconds, the knight on the chessboard lit up, and then the cursed scroll in the crescent crystal disappeared. Mr. You regained his composure. He picked up his handkerchief and wiped the sweat that had oozed from his forehead in an instant: "It really caused me a lot of trouble... You should have a general understanding of how this game works by now, right?"
Wang Xu said: "You let me go first quietly, because you want me to familiarize myself with the rules so that I won't die in the first curse, right?"
"Yes, you are a novice, isn't it fairer?"
"Hmph... you are really a boring guy..." Wang Xu replied disdainfully, but he was thinking: Fatty, you are still promoting the Olympic spirit at this time, 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 sensual hand, and directly grabbed the top card of the curse card pile. A few seconds later, he Still speaking in that calm tone, "Calista."
