Buzz!
Qi Ying's consciousness in the Empress' Puppet could only feel the strong attraction pulling on the Empress' Puppet's body.
The attraction was so huge, containing the majestic power of heaven and earth, that it was simply irresistible. Almost in an instant, the entire body of the Empress Puppet was pulled into the tornado formed by the water flow.
The Empress' puppet rose all the way along the direction of the water flow.
If other things or practitioners are involved in the waterspout, they will be torn to pieces by the power of the rising water.
But the body of the Empress's puppet is difficult to destroy even by the powerful Heavenly Emperor.
Although he was unable to control the movements of the Queen's puppet, Qi Ying could make his consciousness rise along with the Queen's puppet.
Suddenly.
The strong feeling of restraint disappeared.
Qi Ying understood that this was the empress' puppet that had passed through the waterspout and entered the core of the cloud area above from the core position of the water area.
Looking around through the Empress Puppet, Qi Ying discovered that the center of the clouds and mist was actually an empty place, with no clouds at all.
The clouds and mist are all outside this core area.
In other words, this is equivalent to the formation eye in the cloud and fog area. There is no power to protect the formation eye.
"That is… "
The gaze of the Empress' puppet fell on the chessboard floating above the clouds in the center of the open space.
On the chessboard, there are black and white pairs of chess pieces. The two types of chess pieces are clearly distinct. Judging from the arrangement of these black and white pieces, it looks a bit like an endgame.
Qi Ying controlled the Empress puppet and approached the chessboard.
Judging from the power and energy fluctuations of the surrounding heaven and earth, all changes in the clouds and mists, including the waterspout below, are strongly affected by this chessboard.
It is very likely that this chessboard is the real "eye of the formation" and the real core.
"Why the chessboard and the orb?"
Qi Ying looked around but didn't see anything except the chessboard and the chess pieces on it.
If the orb is in this area, then the only place it can be hidden is on this chessboard.
But how can I open this chessboard
Buzz!
Qi Ying tried to make the Empress puppet launch an attack.
A powerful move that could instantly kill a knight of the same level, hitting Qi Ying, was like a big wave hitting a rock. It had no practical meaning, and even the stars above didn't move at all.
It seems that this chessboard and Othello may be the key to solving the problem.
"If you want to get the orb, you must first solve this endgame!"
Qi Ying thought for a while, then looked helpless.
The orb must have been sealed in the chessboard, but opening the chessboard was definitely not something that could be done using ordinary means.
The attack of the Empress' puppet was extremely powerful even if it did not use the power of the Great Emperor, but it did not damage the chessboard and chess pieces at all.
It is estimated that taking other tough measures will definitely not be able to do anything about it.
suddenly.
An idea appeared in Qi Ying's mind.
The endgame on the chessboard... Should I solve this endgame by myself and get the second token inside? As long as the endgame is resolved, the orb can come into his hands
then.
Qi Ying began to carefully study the movement of the black and white stones on the chessboard.
Black and white are vertical and horizontal, there are places where they are entangled with each other, there are places where they collide with each other, and there are even places where they rely on each other.
The seemingly scattered arrangement of chess pieces contains a certain amount of the way of heaven and earth and the principles of nature.
How to solve it is a big problem.
You know, although Qi Ying has some slight interest in playing chess, he has no way to analyze it and has no experience at all.
"The chess pieces above cannot be moved."
"You can only start with the chess pieces below."
"But even the chess pieces below are extremely closely connected to each other. I can't even move one of them."
For a moment, Qi Ying seemed to be in a deadlock.
You know what you should do, but you simply can’t do it!
The fingers of the Empress' puppet reached above the chessboard, but before it reached the area above the chessboard, it was repulsed by a huge repulsive force.
"Are you so resistant?"
Qi Ying was slightly stunned. The power of the Empress's puppet was not weak at all, but it was unable to do anything about the chessboard.
At this time.
Qi Ying suddenly caught a glimpse of a very inconspicuous stone tablet next to the chessboard, and there were very clear and easy-to-understand words written on the stone tablet - "Only by making the right move can the chess game be solved, and the secrets hidden under the chess game can be solved." This thing belongs to you, explorer!"
In other words, this is a dead end.
Only when you break the game and turn the dead game into a live game can you get the second token - the orb.
…
"Momo, Higurashi, Lava, you all know how to play chess!"
In the temple, Qi Yun asked.
"Of course, we are proficient in many chess games, but what kind of chess are you talking about?" Lava chuckled, "I like to play 'Beast Chess' best, and the others are just average!"
Higurashi said: "What trouble did you encounter?"
Qi Yun nodded, then took out a lot of things from the storage space and placed them on the ground in front of him. Finally, he laid out an endgame that was exactly the same as the one in the sea of clouds.
Qiying told Higurashi, Lava, Momo and others the rules of Heiheizi.
Everyone began to brainstorm and plan to work together to help Qi Ying break the situation.
Higurashi has indeed been immersed in the Yuehua World and studied chess for tens of thousands of years. Just by understanding the rules of black and white stones, he can deduce the black and white stones to an extremely profound level.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Higurashi's level at Black and White reached the level of a master.
It's not far away from solving the chess game.
As much as possible, the speed needs to be faster - Qi Ying knows that while he is busy working on this small test, in Jieyun Mountain, those princes and captains may not necessarily have lifted the confinement of the poison and recovered. He has gained the ability to move freely and is rushing towards him at the fastest speed!
Once faced with the tide of enemies coming again, Qi Ying was unwilling to come into contact with them.
"Higurashi, please hurry up!"
Qi Ying was secretly worried, and at the same time he was also studying ways to crack the chess game.
It's just that Qi Ying's own chess playing level is not very high. Facing such a difficult chess game, it can be said that he is helpless.
We can only hope that Higurashi, Lava and others can find a way to break the chess game as soon as possible. Which piece should be placed in which position to completely close the deadlock and break the current state
