208: Chess formation! A narrow escape!”Let’s go!”
”What are we waiting for?”
”After all that hardship, we’ve finally found the passage to the burial chamber. Hurry up!”
”The mysterious veil of the tomb owner is waiting for us to uncover!”
”...”
Zhao Chuanwu shouted recklessly.
Not just him; everyone else around was also becoming impatient.
”Go, go, go. I see this tomb passage is quite deep. Let’s quickly see if there are any Night-luminescent pearls for lighting on either side.”
”Hehe...”
”Those are good things.”
Li Xiaotie, who was to the side, also gave a slight smile.
Impatiently, he switched on his flashlight and began searching along both sides of the passage.
”...”
”Be careful.”
”This passage definitely isn’t simple. The tomb owner might be Zhang Daoling, or perhaps Li Xiong, but regardless of which one it is...”
”His passage will absolutely have lethal traps!”
Wu Xie said indifferently after observing the surroundings.
”Hah!”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotie immediately gave a dismissive chuckle.
”We’re all old hands in this business. Do we really need to talk about the twists and turns inside these passages?”
”Little Third Master!”
”Rest assured!”
”We will definitely be very careful.”
”...”
”Right?”
As he spoke, Li Xiaotie glanced at the people from the other families.
He tilted his head.
”Isn’t this Grave robbing business business as usual for our families?”
”Let’s go!”
”I don’t know how long this passage is, so let’s set off quickly!”
”...”
With that, Li Xiaotie took the lead, flashlight in hand, and strode quickly into the depths of the passage.
”...”
Wu Xie frowned.
Then he glanced at Wu Tian, seeking the latter’s opinion.
”Boss Wu, we...”
”Hehe...”
Wu Tian shrugged.
”Since Grave robbing is what you’re good at, I have no objections!”
”Let’s go!”
”You’ll surely be surprised, hehe...”
Wu Tian laughed as he looked at everyone.
”I’m a layman!”
”When it comes to things inside the tomb, you should call the shots!”
”...”
”Hehe, alright then!”
Flattered by Wu Tian’s words, Master Xie the Fourth smiled slightly, nodded to Wu Tian, and walked slowly past him.
His voice drifted back from behind him.
”Since Boss Wu has said so, let’s set off!”
”No matter how dangerous this tomb is!”
”This time, almost all the Nine Gates are gathered. Even if we encounter trouble...”
”This bit of trouble won’t be enough to stop us!”
”...”
”Indeed!”
Just as Third Master Xie and Master Xie the Fourth slowly walked past Wu Tian.
Chen Jie, who was nearby, also chimed in with the group’s conversation.
”It should be fine; our lineup is so strong this time!”
”What danger could possibly stop us?”
”Little Third Master!”
”Don’t hesitate, let’s go quickly!”
”If we’re late, there won’t be any spoils left to share!”
”...”
While speaking.
Chen Jie also switched on his flashlight and followed the pace of those ahead, walking quickly into the depths of the passage.
”...”
”Should we...”
”...also set off?”
Huo Nanfeng watched as everyone walked into the depths of the passage, frowned, and asked Wu Tian.
”...”
”Let’s set off!”
Wu Tian turned to look at Wu Xie.
”Regardless of whether there’s a problem, they’ve already set off ahead of us!”
”Hehe...”
Wu Tian gave a cold smile.
”It’s equivalent to them clearing the mines for us!”
”Then let’s go!”
”Sometimes...”
”You seem to be approaching countless mountains of gold and silver, but in reality, you’re only approaching a massive abyss!”
”Let’s go!”
”We’re setting off too!”
”...”
The group moved forward in a staggered formation, with Zhao Wu and his subordinates leading the way, while Wu Tian’s trio, along with the Huo Family and Wu Xie’s pair, brought up the rear.
Amidst the flickering flashlight beams.
The group slowly followed the passage into the dark depths!
”...”
Wu Tian frowned.
Looking at the flickering flashlight beams before him... he was secretly calculating the personality of everyone here!
And who could be cooperated with... and who should be decisively abandoned!
First... Zhao Wu had no ulterior motives; he was a reckless man of the underworld. Once he set his mind on something, ten oxen couldn’t pull him back.
He didn’t have bad intentions.
But Li Xiaotie was a complete, sinister, and cunning villain.
Dealing with this person required constant vigilance against him stabbing you in the back.
This person... was impossible to cooperate with and even needed to be guarded against.
As for Chen Jie, he seemed simple enough and currently appeared somewhat like Zhao Wu.
However... Chen Jie’s luck was much better than Zhao Wu’s.
For now, he couldn’t be considered an enemy.
Meanwhile, the personalities of Huo Nanfeng and Wu Xie both suited Wu Tian’s temperament. Huo Nanfeng was quick-witted and remained calm when facing issues.
Wu Xie was even more experienced and quite skilled.
These two... were both good partners for cooperation.
As for the last two from the Xie Family... Wu Tian’s lips curled.
It was clear that Master Xie the Fourth was the decision-maker between the two. Although Wu Tian rarely saw him speak, this person was likely not simple. Whether he was a friend or foe remained unclear for now.
Better to keep a guard up.
Third Master Xie... was a useless person who just liked to talk big!
Not worth cooperating with.
”...”
All along the way, Wu Tian had been observing their words, actions, and even the micro-expressions on their faces.
All this was to ensure he had a clear understanding when they entered the tomb!
At this moment!
Wu Tian had roughly assigned labels to everyone.
And the rules for action in the tomb would be completely different from those on the surface!
Underground... except for his own people who could be fully trusted.
Everyone else... was untrustworthy!
Even if Wu Xie and Huo Nanfeng were trustworthy!
He still had to be wary of their subordinates!
”...”
”Wait!”
Suddenly!
Just as Wu Tian had finished labeling everyone in his mind, Zhao Wu, who was walking at the very front, suddenly raised his right hand high and shouted to the group behind him.
”There’s a situation!”
”...”
”What’s the situation?”
Li Xiaotie, who was behind Zhao Wu, blinked.
”What did you see?”
”...”
”There’s... there’s a trap!”
”...”
”Damn it...”
Upon hearing this, Li Xiaotie immediately frowned and cursed loudly at Zhao Wu ahead.
”What trap? Can’t you stop talking like you’re squeezing toothpaste, you bastard?”
”Move aside!”
”Let me see!”
”...”
While speaking.
Li Xiaotie pushed past Zhao Wu’s group and stood side-by-side with him, looking at the thing before them.
And when he saw the object beneath his feet... Li Xiaotie’s mouth instantly fell open, shocked by the magnificent scene.
He couldn’t say a word.
”This...”
”Is this a damn Chessboard?”
”Whoa!”
”Isn’t this too ridiculous?”
After a few seconds of daze.
Li Xiaotie exclaimed loudly in amazement.
”Make way...”
”Make way!”
While Zhao Wu and Li Xiaotie were observing the massive Chessboard before them, Third Master Xie and Master Xie the Fourth also pushed through the crowd and came to their side.
However... Third Master Xie’s methods were slightly impolite.
This caused some dissatisfaction among the subordinates of the various families around.
But no one dared to say anything.
They made way for the two from the Xie Family, but the Xie Family’s subordinates were still blocked behind them.
The bosses could pass... but the small fries naturally had to wait in line like everyone else!
”...”
”Hehe...”
Coming to the side of Zhao Wu and Li Xiaotie, the two from the Xie Family naturally saw the massive Chessboard under the flashlight beams.
Master Xie the Fourth smiled slightly.
Looking like a know-it-all, he said.
”Isn’t this a Chessboard?”
”Does this... mean we have to play a game?”
”The person who built this passage is truly ingenious!”
”I just wonder what the stakes are?”
”With my chess skills...”
Fourth Master Xie began to show off.
”I really want to give it a try!”
”...”
”Hehe...”
Hearing Fourth Master Xie bragging, Li Xiaotie didn’t indulge him at all.
He spoke coldly.
”Give it a try?”
”Fourth Master Xie, what if I told you this game requires a winner, and whether it’s a draw or a loss, the stake is your life?”
”Would you still dare to play a game?”
”...”
”You!”
Hearing Li Xiaotie’s sinister voice.
Fourth Master Xie’s eyes widened.
His face turned red as he retorted.
”What wouldn’t I dare?”
”I’ve been playing chess for over a decade; would I be afraid of this?”
”Just you wait!”
”I’ll go and try it right now!”
”...”
With that, Fourth Master Xie actually rolled up his sleeves and was about to stand in the designated player’s position in front of the Chessboard.
Suddenly!
Third Master Xie behind him firmly grabbed his shoulder with one hand.
He said coldly.
”If you don’t want your brain, you can donate it!”
”Among everyone present, Boss Wu hasn’t spoken yet; you have no right to act first!”
”Get back here!”
”...”
”But...”
Fourth Master Xie looked anxious and was about to argue.
But as soon as he turned his head and saw Third Master Xie slowly shaking his head at him.
His heart skipped a beat.
He understood the latter’s meaning.
”Fine... alright!”
”Hehe...”
Fourth Master Xie slowly withdrew his right foot and gave a chuckle.
”Indeed, I was reckless!”
”The leader of this expedition is Boss Wu. What was I doing, overstepping my bounds like that?”
”Hahaha...”
Fourth Master Xie said with a pleasant smile.
”My mistake!”
”My mistake!”
”...”
Seeing Fourth Master Xie being pulled back by Third Master Xie, a deep sense of disappointment flashed through Li Xiaotie’s eyes.
It seemed... the first sacrificial lamb was gone!
”...”
Rustle... While everyone had their own thoughts but no one dared to take the first step in the face of this eerie Chessboard... Wu Tian, followed by Wu Xie, Huo Nanfeng, Fatty, and Zhang Meng.
Slowly walked to the front through the narrow path cleared by the crowd.
They stood beside everyone else.
”Oh?”
Looking at the massive Chessboard at his feet.
Wu Tian raised his eyebrows slightly.
”...”
”This trap is quite unique, actually being a massive Chessboard. What’s the deal?”
Wu Tian chuckled.
”Does this mean we have to compete in chess skills with the person who designed this trap?”
”...”
”Hehe...”
”Indeed!”
Li Xiaotie smiled slightly.
He said to Wu Tian with a smile.
”The side length of this Chessboard is exactly the width of the entire passage. It occupies the only path leading to the tomb’s main gate!”
”So...”
”If we want to pass, we probably have to solve this Chessboard!”
”...”
Wu Tian didn’t speak.
Wu Xie, standing next to Wu Tian, frowned, then reached out and pulled a gleaming Military shovel from Wang Meng.
”Hey...”
”Brother Xie?”
”I’ll use it for a bit...”
”I’ll give it back to you in a moment!”
Wu Xie smiled slightly at the latter.
Then, holding the Military shovel, he found a head-sized stone fragment in the passage to tie to the shovel to increase the weight. He then tied a thin line to the shovel and threw it onto the Chessboard with a flick of his wrist.
Swish!
The whistling sound passed in an instant!
The weighted stone and Military shovel were thrown onto the Chessboard with great force by Wu Xie!
Clang!
The stone rolled slightly on the Chessboard and happened to hit a massive chess piece.
This piece happened to be on their side.
And with that impact, the piece suddenly moved, rolling along the solid line on the Chessboard to one side.
Screech... a dull sound of friction echoed in everyone’s ears.
Then... under everyone’s gaze!
This piece moved directly to the left by about one square.
Then... before anyone could react.
A piece on the opposite side suddenly moved, charging straight at the piece Wu Xie had just touched.
Boom!
A loud explosion!
This piece crushed down directly, covering the previous piece.
Buzz... where the two pieces overlapped... an opening just large enough for one piece appeared, pressing Wu Xie’s representative piece into the ground.
Clatter, clatter...
Then!
The opponent’s ’Chariot’ that had replaced Wu Xie’s piece began to vibrate slowly.
Directly in front of it was Wu Xie’s General, with no protection whatsoever!
”...”
”Holy crap?”
Everyone was stunned.
Even the reckless Zhao Wu widened his eyes and exclaimed.
”Damn it...”
”That’s a checkmate in one move!”
”...”
”Fuck!”
”What’s going on?”
”Is this endgame so fierce?”
”One wrong move and it’s all over?”
Li Xiaotie was also slightly startled.
He knew a bit about chess, but not everything.
Only now that the opponent had made this move did he understand!
This... was a complete dead end!
”...”
Fourth Master Xie inconspicuously wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a twitching lip.
”Hehe...”
”This endgame...”
”...seems incredibly fierce!”
”Haha!”
As he spoke... Fourth Master Xie glanced at Third Master Xie beside him with lingering fear, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead again, and unconsciously took two steps back.
”We’ve lost!”
Wu Tian’s eyes narrowed as he looked at the vibrating pieces on the board and spoke solemnly.
”Everyone...”
Swish!
Swish, swish, swish!
Suddenly!
Just as Wu Tian was about to warn everyone to be on guard... dense hidden compartments suddenly appeared on the walls on all sides of the passage where the Chessboard was. Countless arrowheads gleaming with a cold light emerged from the compartments.
In just an instant... they shot directly toward Wu Tian and the others!
Of course...

The primary Target was Wu Xie, who was closest to the Chessboard and had thrown the stone to test it!
”...”
Whoosh!
Although Chen Jie seemed somewhat indecisive, when facing danger... he wasn’t hesitant at all!
He pulled a large umbrella glowing with golden light from his waist.
In the blink of an eye, he snapped it open in front of him!
Clang, clang, clang!
Sharp arrowheads streaked across the golden umbrella’s surface, unexpectedly producing the ’cling-clang’ sounds of clashing metal.
Yet, they couldn’t break through in the slightest!
All the arrows flying toward him... were firmly blocked by this golden umbrella!
Not only that... the people behind Chen Jie also pulled out almost identical umbrellas one after another, fending off the incoming arrows!
However... the skills of these people varied!
Even with handy and indestructible equipment,
stray arrows from bizarre angles still managed to strike several of Chen Jie’s subordinates.
”Clang!”
”Crack!”
”Clang...”
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotie relied on a pair of gold-threaded gloves to either catch or deflect the arrows, moving with ease through the dense barrage.
He could even afford to distract himself to protect his subordinates.
His subordinates, however, were in a bit of a sorry state; lacking Li Xiaotie’s skill, they could only dodge and weave within the narrow passage, trying their best to avoid the rapidly flying arrows.
Even if they couldn’t dodge... these members of the Li Family, with their extensive tomb-raiding experience, would try to avoid vital areas.
This ensured they wouldn’t lose their combat effectiveness right here.
”...”
”Third Brother!”
”Third Brother, over there!”
”Right!”
”There’s another one here, holy crap, Third Brother save me, this arrow almost hit my ***!”
”Third Brother!”
”Protect me!”
”...”
Had the situation not been so tense, with no one having the time to spare a glance at others,
then... everyone would surely have cast a contemptuous look at Master Xie the Fourth.
Damn it... he talked such a big game.
But the moment trouble hit, he started screaming and shouting.
He hid directly behind Third Master Xie.
As Wu Tian dodged the arrows, he helped Zhang Meng and Fatty catch stray arrows they couldn’t avoid with his bare hands, a slight grin touching the corners of his mouth.
He thought to himself,
it seemed this Master Xie the Fourth really was exactly as he had analyzed.
He really was just a piece of trash!
Encountering danger immediately exposed his worthless nature.
Sigh... Wu Tian shook his head lightly.
If he were Third Master Xie, he would definitely kick this son of a bitch to death first!
To give the world some peace and quiet!
”...”
”Cling-clang!”
”Swoosh, swoosh!”
”Swoosh...”
A few minutes later... the rain of arrows finally slowed to a stop.
The pressure on everyone instantly eased, and they collapsed onto the ground the moment the arrows stopped. This level of intense mental and physical strain was a bit much even for these battle-hardened veterans.
”...”
”Huff, huff...”
”Pui!”
Taking a breath, Li Xiaotie spat on the side with a grim face.
He looked at Wu Xie and asked coldly,
”I say, Little Third Master.”
”Didn’t your Third Uncle ever teach you not to make rash probes when you’re not certain?”
”This move of yours...”
”Heh!”
Cold light flickered in Li Xiaotie’s eyes.
”It almost got us all killed!”
”...”
”What does whether my Third Uncle taught me or not have to do with you?”
”And ’not allowed to make rash probes’!”
”Heh...”
Wu Xie looked at him and gave a cold smile.
”I think your family taught you into being an idiot, didn’t they?”
”If we don’t probe this thing, what do we do?”
”Just wait here?”
”Will waiting get us a result?”
”...”
”You!”
Li Xiaotie’s eyes widened.
”I damn well said don’t probe *rashly*, why the hell are you playing word games with me?”
”Damn it!”
”...”
Li Xiaotie was frustrated.
Just as he was about to stand up and continue shouting... Third Master Xie, whose body was concealed beneath black robes, spoke up slowly.
”Stop arguing!”
”Li boy...”
”Wu Xie wasn’t wrong to probe. This tomb has existed for too long, so it’s very possible this mechanism had already broken down from rainwater corrosion. It’s just...”
Third Master Xie glanced at Li Xiaotie,
then turned his head to look at Wu Xie and said,
”Our luck wasn’t very good!”
”This damn thing is still working!”
”Although every family has some minor injuries, fortunately, there are no casualties.”
”It can be considered a close call!”
”Next...”
As he spoke, Third Master Xie’s gaze from beneath the black robes bypassed everyone and looked toward Wu Tian.
”Boss Wu!”
”Regarding this mechanism...”
”Do you have anything to say?”
”...”
”Me?”
Wu Tian was slightly stunned.
He then looked at the robed Third Master Xie, pointed at his own nose, and asked,
”Are you sure you want to ask a layman like me?”
”...”
”Heh...”
Third Master Xie smiled slightly.
”Boss Wu, stop hiding your light under a bushel!”
”Before coming to this Soul-Bewitching Cave with us, you waded through countless life-threatening dangers. This time, you even found the key clue while we were all caught in a trap.”
”If you’re a layman...”
”Heh...”
Third Master Xie gave a strange smile.
”Then we are absolutely nothing!”
”...”
”Hey!”
Wu Tian smiled, a hint of playfulness appearing in his eyes as he looked at Third Master Xie.
”Third Master Xie, you can’t put it like that!”
”You say I’m hiding my light.”
”But aren’t you doing the same?”
”Besides...”
Wu Tian chuckled.
”Even if I am, I truly don’t know the first thing about how to play this chess game. I’m afraid I won’t do.”
”But as far as I know...”
”Your family is a scholarly one. Music, chess, calligraphy, and painting should all be well within your grasp, right?”
”...”
”How about Third Master gives us some ideas?”
”To see how this endgame can be solved?”
”...”
”Heh...”
Third Master Xie gave a cold laugh.
”I actually do have a discovery. Let me tell everyone about it first.”
Third Master Xie glanced at Wu Tian,
then looked at the crowd and spoke slowly.
”Actually, while the arrows were flying just now, I was thinking about something. The stone Little Third Master threw just now hit our side’s ’Cannon’. So, after the chess game was lost, the mechanism triggered was a long-range attack related to the ’Cannon’.”
”Crossbow arrows!”
”Then I’ll continue to speculate.”
”If the piece captured was a ’Chariot’, the attack might be rolling stones; if it was a ’Soldier’, it could be a blade array; if it was a ’Horse’, it could be a heavy press...”
”As for the rest...”
Having said all this,
Third Master Xie looked at Wu Tian.
”I believe Boss Wu should have discovered something as well.”
”Boss Wu.”
”Why not come in and add to this?”
”Unity...”
”is our only way out right now!”
”Heh...”
”...”
Third Master Xie had carefully analyzed Wu Tian’s livestreams.
Ultimately... he had reached a conclusion!
Wu Tian was, in some respects, an extreme egoist. He wouldn’t share his speculations with people he didn’t acknowledge, and he would very rationally choose whether or not to save so-called companions.
To put it bluntly,
this person was a terrifyingly independent and self-centered individual.
That was why Third Master Xie was pushing Wu Tian.
One way or another... he had to get some information out of Wu Tian’s mouth.
No matter what, he had to drag Wu Tian into the mess!
Force him to participate.
Rather than letting him play low-profile on the sidelines and reap the benefits without effort.
”...”
”Alright!”
Wu Tian nodded and smiled at the gazes directed his way.
”It just so happens I had time to observe this setup myself just now.”
”There is only one possibility for this Chessboard to allow passage, and that is to win!”
Wu Tian said decisively.
”You must win!”
”Even a draw won’t work!”
”Another thing...”
Wu Tian looked deeply at the massive Chessboard that occupied almost the entire passage and said softly,
”To get this Chessboard running, two people are needed.”
”One needs to stand in the ’Player’ position to command, while the other must stand on the board to move the pieces according to the player’s instructions!”
”However...”
Wu Tian gave a meaningful smile.
”There is a small detail in this!”
Wu Tian pointed at the Chessboard, which didn’t have a single arrow on it.
He said to the crowd,
”The person responsible for operating the pieces on the board will not be subjected to any attacks!”
”...”
”Oh!”
Zhao Wu’s eyes lit up.
He said brashly,
”I get it!”
”Boss Wu...”
”You mean...”
”as long as you’re playing, the person on the board is safe?”
Zhao Wu asked Wu Tian with his peculiar logic.
Wu Tian: ...”Uh...”
”Little Zhao, did your family ever suggest you go to a hospital for a check-up?”
”...”
Zhao Wu was stunned.
”Check-up?”
”For what?”
Wu Tian pointed to his head.
”To see if the sulci here are deep enough. I’m worried you’re getting senile at such a young age!”
Zhao Wu: ...”Kid!”
Wu Tian gave a cold laugh.
”Do you think the person who designed this Chessboard was an idiot?”
”Would he leave such a bug for you?”
”I’m telling you!”
Wu Tian sneered.
”The moment the total weight of the people standing on the board to move pieces exceeds a hundred kilograms, the mechanism will definitely trigger to clear them off.”
”And the game will be voided!”
”The traps...”
”will of course come in another wave!”
”...”
Hearing this, Zhao Wu immediately fell silent.
”However...”
Wu Tian continued,
”I don’t know if you’ve realized it, but I certainly have.”
”The person at the Player position and the person on the board must have complete trust in each other.”
”Only then...”
”is it possible to win this game.”
”Otherwise, heh...”
Wu Tian gave everyone a meaningful smile.
”If the person on the board wants to harm the player...”
”it would be as easy as turning over a hand!”
”...”
”...”
As soon as Wu Tian’s words fell, everyone present was startled.
They then instinctively looked at the people beside them.
In their hearts... more or less, some fear began to grow.
A faint, subtle rift also formed between them and their brothers.
One by one, they subconsciously moved a little distance away from those next to them.
”...”
”Regardless...”
Seeing that seeds of doubt had been sown in everyone’s hearts,
Chen Jie couldn’t help but feel a bit anxious.
He hurriedly said to the crowd,
”While that’s what’s been said, that’s not how the logic works!”
”Brothers, think about it!”
”We’ve always been good brothers with no grudges. Why would the person on the board want to kill the player?”
”That’s impossible!”
”Right?”
”...”
”Of course!”
Glancing at Chen Jie and the various family heads looking at him, Wu Tian continued with a chuckle.
”Heh...”
”To deal with such a situation, I’ve also thought of an excellent method.”
”Connect the player and the person on the board with a rope.”
”That way...”
”even if the person on the board wants to harm the player, they’ll be dragged down with them by the rope.”
”Then there won’t be a problem.”
”...”
Taking in the expressions and gazes of everyone, as well as the subordinates of all the families,
Wu Tian gave a cold laugh in his heart.
As expected!
Among these families, even the few close confidants they brought weren’t a solid unit!
Since they weren’t a solid unit... Wu Tian’s mouth curled into a grin.
Then things would be easy to handle!
”...”
In this sunless underground, Wu Tian once again clearly remembered the faces of the subordinates from families with large internal rifts.
For future use!
After all... the most terrifying thing in this world was still the human heart!
Though Wu Tian was powerful, he was ultimately alone. He might be fine, but Zhang Meng and Fatty beside him would inevitably be targeted.
By grasping the character flaws of these people,
and the pain points of human nature,
it could be predicted... Wu Tian’s journey ahead would be incredibly smooth!
”...”
”That makes sense...”
After pondering for a few seconds with a frown, Li Xiaotie looked up at Wu Tian and nodded slowly.
”This is a good method!”
”Only...”
”who is willing to be the first to try?”
”...”
Everyone was stunned.
Then, one by one, they shrunk their necks and took a half-step back.
Clearly... not a single person here was willing to go and try!
Shh... Even Master Xie the Fourth, who had just been the first to boast about how awesome his chess skills were, shrunk his neck and involuntarily took a half-step back.
”...”
”Heh...”
Suddenly!
Third Master Xie, standing beside Master Xie the Fourth, smiled slightly.
He spoke up.
”Since no one seems interested in trying, then our Xie Family will take the lead!”
”Old Fourth!”
Third Master Xie smiled slightly.
He spoke with a grin to Master Xie the Fourth, who looked startled beside him.
”I remember you were in the top three of the National Xiangqi Tournament. How about it?”
”Interested in taking a trip with your brother?”
”Let’s go break this formation?”
”...”
”I...”
”Holy crap!”
”Third Brother, have you lost your damn mind?”
”Just now...”
Master Xie the Fourth pulled on Third Master’s robe and hissed into his ear,
”you were advising me not to be the bird that sticks its head out!”
”Why have you lost your cool now?”
”You son of a bitch!”
”You’re trying to get me killed!”
”...”
”Shut up!”
Third Master Xie beneath the black robe suddenly barked.
He growled at the Fourth Master in a low voice,
”I have my reasons for having you do this!”
”Underneath this formation...”
”is a great treasure!”
