Chapter 134: Chapter 136: Death Chess BattleThe contract was established smoothly, and a moment later, Mu Can had a second beast pet. The first beast pet, Little Lucky, was still evolving inside the first layer of the Reincarnation Pearl, and it was unknown when it would wake up. "Red Eagle has been eliminated, four people remain in the Death Maze." The systematic voice of System Number 36 rang out, it seemed that the others in the Death Space also knew the news of Red Eagle’s elimination, but they would probably never guess that Red Eagle wasn’t dead, but had been turned into a beast pet by Mu Can. "Hehe." Looking at Red Eagle, who still appeared indifferent even with a contract, Mu Can sneered twice and then eagerly approached Red Eagle. "What are you going to do?" Seeing Mu Can’s ominous look, even though he didn’t know what Mu Can intended, instinct still made Red Eagle feel uneasy. "Let me, as your master, properly communicate and bond with you, right?" Mu Can said with a smile on his face. "Oh." Red Eagle felt maybe it had misunderstood, wondering how its master could show such a sleazy smile, it’s reasonable to communicate the feelings right after establishing a contract. Purple Cloud shook her head helplessly, "This silly bird, it’s really gullible." Mu Can grabbed Red Eagle and gently stroked the red feathers on its head, his movements indescribably gentle. Under Mu Can’s gentle stroking, Red Eagle also felt comfortable; it tilted its little head to make it even more comfortable for Mu Can to pet. "Kokoko." Red Eagle, feeling so comfortable, even made a sound like a chicken. Seeing how Red Eagle reacted, Mu Can changed his mind about reprimanding it; although the bird was a bit annoying, it was still quite cute. In fact, the main reason Mu Can changed his mind was Purple Cloud’s cold stare, he instantly understood the meaning behind her gaze. "With me here, you better not think about bullying him." Seeing Purple Cloud’s gaze, Mu Can knew he couldn’t lay a hand on Red Eagle anymore; his eyes flickered, a new idea emerging in his mind. "Since we’ve already established a contract, I should give you a name." Mu Can said with a smile. Being comfortably petted by Mu Can, Red Eagle didn’t care about these matters and carelessly said, "Whatever you like, hehe, it feels so good." Who says only mammals become addicted to being petted? This little bird under Mu Can’s stroking had also lost its mind. "Let’s call you Xiao Hong (Little Red)." Mu Can revealed his motive, since he couldn’t bully you openly, he decided to give you a "pleasant" name. "Sure sure sure." Red Eagle, immersed in the joy of being petted, casually agreed. Afterward, this name let Red Eagle regret tremendously was thus fixed. "Yup yup." Mu Can laughed like a sly fox who had succeeded in his schemes. "You really are something. Why argue with him?" Purple Cloud rolled her eyes at Mu Can, helplessly saying. Actually, there was no other choice, if Mu Can beat up Xiao Hong, Purple Cloud certainly wouldn’t agree, but giving him a name, Purple Cloud did not stop him. "Sister Yun, where should we go next?" Mu Can asked. "Random. Let’s check out the chambers on the right." The Life Divine Liquid was already obtained, and Xiao Hong had also been rescued, there was no need to provoke the terrifying Devouring God Tree. Mu Can nodded, handed Xiao Hong over to Purple Cloud, and pushed open the door on the right wall of the secret room. As expected, behind the door was another secret room, but what was inside completely exceeded Mu Can’s expectations. In the center of the secret room, there was a complete set of battle chess arranged. This type of battle chess was the most popular toy in the Mortal World, especially among cultivators. The rules were simple, making it a great pastime for many cultivators. And Mu Can, during his time at the Ancient Fairy Academy, loved to pull others to play this battle chess. "Can you handle it?" Purple Cloud glanced at Mu Can, having guessed what this secret room was testing, definitely something related to this battle chess. "No problem, watch me." Mu Can confidently walked into the secret room and sat down on the chair in the center. It was as if activating an array; a seemingly real and illusory figure appeared opposite what was originally an empty space. "Death Chess activated, challenger Mu Can. Victory grants one secret room clue, failure results in being transferred to a dangerous secret room." An emotionless voice echoed in the secret room. Mu Can nodded, it seemed that failure did not mean direct eradication, which Mu Can could accept. Then the voice briefly introduced the rules of the battle chess. After listening, Mu Can found them almost identical to the battle chess he played in the Mortal World, smiled, and indicated for the opponent to start. Searᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Random Chess Drawing Stage." As soon as the voice fell, both sides had twelve seemingly identical chess pieces in their hands. Mu Can carefully sensed them and found that although they looked alike, the actual strength represented by each chess piece varied: Mu Can had one Martial Saint Level chess, two Martial Venerate Level chesses, two Martial King Level chesses, three Martial Sect Level chesses, three Martial Master Level chesses, and one Thunderbolt. The rules were simple: according to the terrain on the board, both sides place their chess pieces, and when chess pieces meet, they would battle, generally, the higher-level chess piece would dominate and win over the lower ones, but the actual strength of the chess piece also depended on the player’s strength. The Thunderbolt could choose to perish alongside the opponent’s chess piece. "Okay." Mu Can thought briefly, moved swiftly, and soon arranged all his chess pieces. After a moment, the opponent also finished arranging their chess pieces. The first round was led by Mu Can, who lightly flicked in the air, and a chess piece moved from its original place to a strategically critical position on the board. The opponent also moved their chess piece, but did not opt to clash with Mu Can’s. Mu Can smiled slightly, directly placing the previously guarded chess piece next to one of the opponent’s pieces. Bright lights flashed, and the two chess pieces on the board who met instantly vanished, with two seemingly real and illusory figures appearing in the air. Mu Can moved his thoughts, and immediately controlled his own chess piece. The opponent also controlled their chess piece, and the battle began in the air. The fight started and ended instantly, with Mu Can’s chess piece defeated, casually killed by a burst of Sword Qi from the other side. Seeing his chess piece easily defeated, Mu Can’s face showed no emotion, instead, lightly moved another one of his chess pieces next to the chess piece that had just defeated his. The battle started again; this time, Mu Can effortlessly captured the opponent’s piece. "I knew it." The chess piece Mu Can had just sacrificed was only a Martial Master Level chess used to probe if the other was a Thunderbolt, while the second chess piece was indeed a genuine Martial Saint Level chess. Having gained the advantage, the Martial Saint chess was then withdrawn by Mu Can to the back. Play conservatively, don’t rush.
