Chapter 2067 - 2068: Life and Death Heavenly Demon Chess! (Third Update)

"Damn it!"

"We’re doomed this time!"

Everyone burst into a chorus of curses. Given that the maze is designed to exterminate the Demon Clan, considering the Human Clan’s deep hatred for them, doesn’t this mean there’s no way out?

"Calm down!"

Yeu Junyao snapped and said slowly, "This does mention a way to break the array!"

"What?"

Everyone was pleasantly surprised and hurriedly asked, "What’s the method?"

Yeu Junyao furrowed her brow slightly and said slowly, "Inside the Life and Death Heavenly Demon Chess is a huge maze shrouded in mist. Anyone who enters can’t see the situation inside and thus can’t pass through the maze."

"However, the stele records a spell. As long as you silently recite the spell, you can see through the mist and see the path within the chessboard!"

"That’s great!"

Someone immediately blurted out, "Lady Yeu, what’s the spell? Quickly tell everyone!"

"I haven’t finished speaking yet!"

Yeu Junyao frowned slightly and said slowly, "However, the person who utters the spell, once entering the maze, will become an ordinary person and will be the priority target of the monsters within the maze."

"What?"

"Oh my god, that’s such a trap!"

Everyone showed a hint of hesitation. Either they enter the maze and become "blind."

Or, they recite the spell to gain sight but at the cost of losing their martial power.

The intention here is quite obvious. There must be someone to become the eyes to lead others, and only through cooperation can they hope to pass through this "Life and Death Heavenly Demon Chess."

Who will be the eyes, and who will be the guard? This requires mutual trust among them.

But among the Demon Clan, almost no such trust exists, so for the Demon Clan, this Life and Death Heavenly Demon Chess is the equivalent of a dead-end.

However, if people who trust and cooperate with each other enter together, there is a sliver of hope to pass through the chess game.

The mist deep within the chessboard gradually spread, even beginning to envelop the space outside the board.

"Hurry up and decide who’s going to be the eyes, or else once the mist covers the stele, I can’t remember such a long spell!"

Yeu Junyao urged anxiously. There wasn’t absolute trust among the group, so no one dared to lose all their strength in such a place.

But if someone isn’t chosen as the "eyes," everyone will be like headless flies, running around chaotically in the maze with only one outcome: death!

"Red Fox, you be the eyes!"

On the Demon Clan side, the Golden Flood Dragon Young Master directly appointed the member of the Fox Demon Clan to guide them as the "eyes."

On the Human Clan side, they couldn’t choose a suitable candidate for a long time.

"Damn it, we actually have to rely on others!"

Wenren Zhan snorted coldly, clearly unwilling to entrust his fate to others.

Yet he did not dare to become the "eyes," for once he lost his strength, he could no longer control his own life and death.

Soon, as the mist spread, Yeu Junyao gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "I’ll do it!"

Zhuge Wan’er also clenched her fists and said in a deep voice, "I’ll join too. My strength isn’t very strong, but I have a pretty good sense of direction!"

"All right!"

Ling Feng’s face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice, "As long as I can stand, I’ll protect you from any danger!"

Ling Feng, being the strongest among the Human Warriors, naturally couldn’t be the eyes, and Yeu Junyao and Zhuge Wan’er were relatively suitable candidates.

The other Human Warriors also indicated they would protect the two women because, without the "eyes," they certainly couldn’t escape the maze.

"No time to delay! As the ’eyes,’ follow my lead!"

Yeu Junyao began to mumble a string of complicated spells that were difficult to understand. Zhuge Wan’er struggled to follow, while the Fox Demon Clan warrior stuttered, unable to keep up at all.

After about thirty breaths, Yeu Junyao finally finished the spell, and the mist completely covered the stele.

In Yeu Junyao’s and Zhuge Wan’er’s eyes, a purple light flashed, and a diamond-shaped mark appeared on their brows, rendering the mist unable to obscure their vision anymore.

Others, however, were almost like those blind with open eyes, able to see only a few shadowy silhouettes several steps away.

"Ah! My eyes!"

The Fox Clan genius, having messed up the spell, found his eyes burning hot. In the end, not only could he not see through the mist, but he also became truly blind.

Thus, the Demon Clan lost their last "eyes."

The Demon Clan panicked for a moment, and the Golden Flood Dragon Young Master quickly moved closer, keeping his eyes tight on Yeu Junyao, afraid of losing sight of her.

"Human Clan, you see the situation now. Your clan and mine should set aside other grievances and work together to pass this test!"

The Golden Flood Dragon Young Master spoke with righteous indignation, thick-skinned as ever.

"Cooperation is possible—behave yourself!"

Ling Feng smiled faintly, not tearing the face of the Demon Clan right away.

Taking a deep breath, Ling Feng looked at Yeu Junyao and said seriously, "How do you feel?"

"I feel very weak, but at least I can see the situation with Smoke Guns clearly!"

Just as Yeu Junyao said, the person who becomes the "eyes" will have all their strength temporarily sealed.

Now, Yeu Junyao was just like an ordinary woman without any elemental power.

Beside her, Zhuge Wan’er was equally weak, even appearing unstable on her feet.

Given their current state, without protection from others, they were on a path to certain death.

"It seems you can’t move independently."

Ling Feng thought for a moment, then found two Human Clan women in the group to carry Yeu Junyao and Zhuge Wan’er, while the others surrounded them to ensure their safety.

"Alright! Now I’ll arrange the order."

Ling Feng withdrew his gaze, gave orders expressionlessly, "The passageway inside the chessboard is very narrow, enough for only three people side by side. Chu Chaonan and I will escort Yeu Junyao to clear the path ahead, followed by the Human Clan, with Miss Zhuge in the middle, then the Demon Clan. As for Wenren Zhan, you’ll be at the end!"

The moment this arrangement came out, Wenren Zhan immediately protested, "Ling Feng, you’re exploiting public office for personal revenge, why should I be at the end?"

"Why?"

Ling Feng coldly glanced at Wenren Zhan, speaking with a chilling tone, "Because I find you disagreeable!"

Ling Feng had long observed that Wenren Zhan was narrow-minded and selfish. Allowing him to remain within the Human Clan ranks might risk him jeopardizing others for self-preservation.

By placing him behind the Demon Clan, separated from others, only then will Ling Feng be at ease.

"You!"

Ling Feng’s words immediately choked Wenren Zhan, causing rage to fill his eyes, obviously feeling very aggrieved.

Ling Feng’s eyes were cold, "If you’re not convinced, you can choose to leave the group!"

Wenren Zhan clenched his fists tightly, harboring bitterness in his heart, but remained silent.

Leaving the group at this time would be a dead end indeed.

As for the Demon Clan, even though the Golden Flood Dragon Young Master also protested, wanting to be placed in the middle of the Human Clan to avoid being abandoned.

However, Ling Feng still responded with, "Either behave and follow orders, or get lost!"

Despite his anger, the Golden Flood Dragon Young Master dared not fight Ling Feng at such a moment.

Fighting at this moment would likely result in mutual injury, and getting wounded here means certain death.

His teeth ground with a crunchy sound, and he silently vowed: Ling Feng, once I leave this place, I will ground your bones to ashes!
