I practice cultivation cautiously in a strange world

Chen Lin looked at the golden chessboard in front of him with a solemn expression.

This chessboard was so big that he couldn't see the edge at a glance. In this way, he couldn't even see the overall situation, and it was impossible for him to win the game.

"No!"

When he was using his eyes to observe, Chen Lin suddenly realized that something was wrong,

and then he looked at his body.

His expression changed immediately.

I don't know when, he turned into a fish, which seemed real and illusory, just like the fish of fate in the long river of fate.

Before Chen Lin thought more, he saw the giant chessboard tremble slightly.

All the intersections of the lines lit up one after another.

But some nodes gave people a sense of relaxation, while some nodes made people tremble, as if they contained great terror.

Chen Lin watched cautiously.

He couldn't guess the meaning of these nodes for a while, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

But he took the opportunity to condense the tentacles of fate and grabbed the chess pieces floating around him.

The huge chessboard in front of him appeared because of this chess piece, so this chess piece must have a function.

The chess piece seems to be a mechanism.

After being caught by the tentacles, a line suddenly appeared in front of Chen Lin, firmly binding the fish of fate that he had turned into.

At the same time, a colorful light ball slowly rose in the middle of the giant chessboard.

A kind of enlightenment appeared in Chen Lin's mind, making him naturally understand what he needed to do.

The golden line on the chessboard is the line of fate.

There is both his and his opponent's.

The fate of the two of them is intertwined and bound to this chessboard of fate.

Only one person can survive.

Whoever can reach the middle point first and obtain the ball of colorful energy can lock in the victory.

And he and the opponent each have a chess piece, and each person has only one chance to place a piece, which can be used to block the opponent's trajectory or to resolve the danger on their own destiny line.

The white side of the chess piece is facing up, representing life. The black side is facing up, representing death.

That is to say, if you place the chess piece with the white side facing up on any node on the chessboard, no matter whether the node was safe or dangerous before, it will become safe.

On the contrary.

If the black side is facing up, then no matter what the node was originally like, it will become a place of death.

After understanding the rules, Chen Lin became more solemn.

He didn't expect that this third level would be a life-and-death game, and there was no chance to use the gold nightmare coin to exempt the penalty.

And he hasn't seen his opponent yet.

He can't use chess pieces to interfere with the opponent without seeing anyone, which is very passive.

But this problem is not a big deal.

There are two effects of chess pieces. Even if they can't be used to interfere with the opponent, they can be used to help themselves.

From his current position to the colorful light group in the middle, the distance is very far, and he doesn't know how many nodes he has to go through in the middle. Most of these nodes exude a dangerous atmosphere. I'm afraid that a mere chess piece will not be kept until it is used to deal with the enemy.

Chen Lin forced himself to calm down.

In such a situation, the more nervous and panicked he is, the more disadvantageous it is.

After thinking for a while, he felt that the most important thing at the moment was to find a way to see the whole picture of the chessboard.

Only in this way can we know ourselves and the enemy.

Even if we can't see the whole picture, at least we have to see the part from his position to the colored light group.

Because these golden lines in front of us only look like a chessboard, but in fact they are not the same as the real chessboard. Not only do they have no boundaries, but they are not square and very messy.

Blind collisions are not only easy to encounter danger, but also deviate from the route.

Thinking of this, Chen Lin began to experiment.

Soon he found that the situation here was basically the same as that in his own destiny.

The fish he turned into could also jump from the golden lines.

The higher the jump, the farther you can see.

However, this kind of jump relies only on one's own strength, and it cannot swim in the middle of the way. It is definitely impossible to reach the height of seeing the whole situation.

And Chen Lin didn't dare to jump too hard.

He was worried that if he used too much force, he would jump out of the water.

The surface of the water now may not be the lake surface. It is more likely that he will deviate from his destiny like last time. It is hard to say what will happen.

More likely, he will be directly judged as a failure.

With this idea in mind, Chen Lin continued to jump on the spot.

While practicing jumping skills, he observed the lines in the distance.

He jumped dozens of times before stopping.

At this time, he had seen almost all the lines in front of him, but he did not see the person playing against him.

It is estimated that he has not started to move forward like him.

So Chen Lin did not delay any longer. After sorting out, he determined a route and swam forward.

After a while, he came to the first node.

This node connected three lines, and the aura emanating from it was relatively peaceful. He jumped over it with a light jump.

Nothing unusual happened.

Chen Lin breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that his perception of dangerous aura is still relatively accurate, which makes it much easier.

Then, Chen Lin followed the line he had selected before and headed for the second node.

…

On the lake.

Looking down from above, the entire lake was shrouded in a layer of golden light, and it was impossible to see the situation below.

In the lake, there was a net composed of dense golden lines. Two fish kept swimming and jumping on the net, moving towards the colorful light group in the center.

One of them was very small and light, and looked like an illusion.

The other one was very huge.

It was also very solid.

Every jump of this fish was powerful and powerful. Not only could it easily avoid the danger on the node, but the height could also take in most of the lines.

Both fish were bright red.

The only difference is that there is a small scale on the back of the small fish's neck that grows in the opposite direction. It is light gold, and there are faint colors when it shakes.

The big fish is very fast.

It shuttles and jumps like an athlete. After a while, it has shortened the distance with the colorful light ball by half.

But the small fish is in danger.

...

Chen Lin stopped, looking solemnly at the node in the distance.

This node is not dangerous, but there are four lines after this node. The four nodes connected all give him a sense of trembling.

In other words, no matter which line you choose to land on after jumping over the node, you will encounter danger.

The situation of this chessboard is the same as his long river of destiny. You can only move forward and not backward.

It is impossible to return to the original path and make a new choice.

After hesitating for a while, Chen Lin tried to manifest the long river of destiny.

Before, he was worried that his innate ability would conflict with the lines here, so he didn't dare to try to manifest it.

Now he had to give it a try.

His mind moved.

The long river of destiny unfolded smoothly.

This surprised Chen Lin. He thought it would fail, but it succeeded.

As long as his innate ability could be used, he would have a lot of room for maneuver.

However, Chen Lin's face immediately became ugly.

The long river of destiny he manifested was exactly the same as the scene in the outside world!

The same crisscrossing lines, nodes of varying light and dark, and even the group of colorful light balls were looming!

This situation made him doubt that the strange sign in the lake was the embodiment of his innate talent. He seemed to be in the outside world, but in fact he was in his long river of destiny.

The person who played against him was probably also a person with destiny talent.

The fate of the two of them was tied together by the treasure of destiny here, forming a situation of resistance.

The origin of the fate of the loser might be swallowed up by the winner.

The origin of destiny can be plundered, Chen Lin is sure of this, because he encountered the invasion of the so-called reincarnated great power in the immortal monument space in the lower world.

But he was killed in return.

It was precisely because he devoured the origin of destiny of the reincarnated great power that his innate ability and power soared, which played a vital role in the subsequent cultivation path.

"Could it be that this treasure of destiny was deliberately set up by a certain destiny practitioner, just to devour the origin of other destiny practitioners in this way?"

Chen Lin thought of another possibility.

He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

This situation is very likely.

Destiny practitioners are good at manipulating destiny, treasure maps, black and white chess pieces, and making these two seemingly unrelated items fall into his hands in different ways is completely possible.

If this is a game, then his current risk factor is at least countless times higher.

It is very difficult to leave alive.

"Could it be the fortune teller?"

Chen Lin thought quickly in his mind, guessing who the possible planner is.

It can't be the Silver Fairy.

Although the black and white chess pieces were obtained from the opponent, the opponent is not a destiny practitioner, so there is no reason to harm him.

Moreover, he also trusts the Silver Fairy very much. With the character of the other party, he will not use such a conspiracy to deal with his apprentice.

Then the Taoist who gave him the treasure map is worthy of suspicion.

But Chen Lin thinks it is unlikely.

Taoist is just a Taoist priest in the lower world. Even if he is a destiny practitioner, his strength will not be too high, and he will definitely not be able to make him enter the jar unknowingly.

The power of destiny is not omnipotent.

It is easy to detect the use of destiny means on an ordinary practitioner, not to mention that he has mastered the law of destiny and is a natural destiny talent.

If you want him to fall into the fate trap without noticing, then the unknown existence must have a much better control over destiny than him.

Taoist Bu couldn't do this.

Who could it be?

Taoist Tianming?

Yuyangzi?

Or Jinguanhou, and that Taoist Tianji?

Suspicious names emerged in Chen Lin's mind.

But he suppressed them immediately.

It's too late to think about these now.

Even if you know, what can you do? The main thing is to find a way to get out of the predicament.

Let your mind become peaceful again, Chen Lin put away the distracting thoughts, and spread out the long river of fate in your mind.

Continue to observe the node in front of you.
