Chapter 917: An easy victory (1)
Life and death in the immortal demon chess game depended on one’s own ability, but now she had pushed all the responsibility onto Lin daoran, which was evident from her endless pestering.
Lin daoran could only grit his teeth and say, don’t worry, Auntie. I’ll do my best to protect Huan ‘er.
He then patted Wu Huan’s shoulder and said, ” sister Huan, don’t worry. The elites of the middle cloud realm have already come out, and the rest of the candidates are not qualified. Official participants like you and I are the best, so we don’t have to be afraid.
Liang Jing held back a trick. In the first round of the celestial demon chess game, he did not send all of skymoon Skywalker’s number one prodigies up.
He kept a small number of them in case a second round of the immortal demon chess game appeared.
He and Wu Huan were one of them. In the second round where most of the participants were mediocre, they had the absolute advantage.
Hearing this, Wu Huan’s mood was much better.
That’s right, what’s there to be afraid of?
In the second round of the immortal demon chess game, she was among the top!
Relaxing her mood, she and Lin daoran entered the immortal demon chess game side by side.
Both sides quickly got into position.
A trace of hope appeared in long xingchen’s eyes as he said,”Old Tang, it seems that the competition of the immortal demon chess game has yet to reach the end.”
There were many official participants left in the cool territory, but none in the middle cloud territory. There was still a glimmer of hope for the cool territory.
To this, Tang yaorong just smiled slightly. His smile was meaningful.
Creak-
The celestial demon chess game started to spin again, and that wisp of ethereal sound once again resounded in the sky.
The first phase of the second immortal demon chess game had begun!
However, no matter whether it was the people of the cool territory or the middle cloud territory, they didn’t pay much attention to it.
Because the cool territory didn’t have much hope, and the zhongyun territory also felt that victory was in their hands.
Therefore, not many people were looking at the surface of the crystal in the deep pit.
Xia qingchen and Bai Xiaozhu weren’t seated on a flat stage. Instead, they were in a mountain forest with a radius of three miles.
The forest was dense and overgrown with weeds. There were even streams passing through the forest, and there were even some demon beasts with mediocre strength.
The entire place was a simulation of the wild environment!
Thump-
A muffled sound was heard.
It was the fusion of two chess pieces, and the two teams from both sides entered the same chess piece.
“It’s about to start.” Bai Xiaozhu was so nervous that she was breathing heavily, and her body couldn’t help but tremble. She was clearly very afraid.
Xia qingchen patted her shoulder and said, “”Don’t be afraid, follow me.”
“Where are we going?” Bai Xiaozhu immediately jogged after him, leaving everything to Xia qingchen.
Xia qingchen pointed to the nearby terrain. since we don’t know how strong or weak the enemy is, we should focus on defense. And if we want to form an advantageous defensive position in the forest, we have to choose a dangerous area.
He looked at the stream under his feet and said, ” if we go against the current, we should be able to reach a water source. Not only is the terrain higher, but the forest and weeds there will be denser. It’s the best place for an ambush and defense.
Bai Xiaozhu listened in a daze, her eyes sparkling with adoration. “Young master Xia sure knows a lot!”
“It’s just common sense.” Xia qingchen didn’t think much of it and leaped up. He pulled down a tree branch with leaves on it. As he walked, he used the leaves to clean up the footprints they had left behind.
Bai Xiaozhu couldn’t help but admire him. Xia qingchen was truly experienced to be able to think of this!
The two of them went against the current and found a water source.
It was a depression on the mountainside.
The nearby weeds were extremely dense and were all as tall as a person. If one squatted inside, others wouldn’t be able to see it.
“What a good place!” Bai Xiaozhu squatted down and felt a sense of security.
However, Xia qingchen took out a water bottle and poured the contents of the bottle into the thick and dense underbrush. He poured the contents of the bottle into almost every spot.
“What is this?” Bai Xiaozhu touched it lightly with her fingers and found that it was sticky and greasy, but there was no smell.
Xia qingchen kept the water bottle and said,”it’s the smoke-free oil.”
“Ah?” Bai Xiaozhu immediately stood up and quickly left the grass. “Why did you pour it? The smoke-free oil is too dangerous. It will explode with just a little spark.”
This is a very common high-grade kerosene. Once it is ignited, it can burn even in water and can not be extinguished.
Alchemists often used kerosene. What exactly was Xia qingchen planning to do by filling up the grass where they were hiding?
“Of course, we’re going to burn the grass.” Xia qingchen leaped up and landed on a large tree. After that, he climbed up to the crown of the tree.
Due to the dense canopy, no one could be seen hiding on the tree.
Bai Xiaozhu climbed up with a dazed look in her eyes, panting as she said, “”Didn’t you say that the grass is the best hiding place? Why did you burn it?”
Xia qingchen looked at her. that’s for newbies like you. To me, that’s the most dangerous place.
Bai Xiaozhu’s fingers were clenched together, and she said weakly, “”I don’t know why, but I seem a little angry.”
So it turned out that Xia qingchen had explained everything in such detail because he was explaining his experience of fighting in the wild to her, a newbie.
He himself didn’t care about such a hiding place.
“But, what’s the point of burning it?” Bai Xiaozhu asked again.
Xia qingchen replied calmly, ” it’s because you know that this is a good place to hide and defend. The enemy will be more stupid than you. How could they not know? ”
Bai Xiaozhu pouted. should I thank young master Xia for sharing his experience? ” she asked. or should I be angry? ”
Seriously, was there anyone who imparted their combat experience in the wild like this?
She was just timid, how was she stupid?
“Shh.” All of a sudden, Xia qingchen raised his finger and made a gesture to keep quiet.
Her entire body stiffened, and she immediately looked down.
Looking down from above, he could clearly see two men in red fire cloud clothes, hunched over, coming to the water source.
They lay on the ground, slowly and cautiously crawling into the grass.
In their hands, they held strong crossbows that were ready to fire. Once they found the target, they would immediately shoot.
Bai Xiaozhu was extremely shocked when she saw this. No wonder Xia qingchen had brought her up to the tree and not to hide in the grass.
It turned out that the enemy had predicted that they might be hiding among them.
At this moment, Bai Xiaozhu’s admiration for Xia qingchen was so great that she prostrated herself in admiration!
The two of them crawled into the grass and searched for a while, but they found nothing.
“Not here?” The two of them stood up with suspicion on their faces.”This place should be the best place to hide people in this area. If they’re not here, where could they be?”
Creak-
A crisp sound came from the tree above them.
He lifted his gaze and saw that it was the sound of Xia qingchen opening the match.
He was expressionless. He loosened his fingers and the match fell into the grass that was filled with the oil.
“Ah! It’s a trap!” The two of them shouted and hurriedly rushed out of the grass.
However, the smoke-free oil exploded instantly, setting the entire patch of grass on fire.
The two of them were immediately caught in a raging fire and were quickly set on fire.
When they rushed out, they had already turned into men of fire, screaming in pain.
Xia qingchen leaped down and clapped his palms together. His star power shattered the clothes of the two of them that were burning.
But even so, the short-lived flames still burned them until they fainted.
Xia qingchen and Bai Xiaozhu won this battle.
