Inside the labyrinth.
Zhong Shenxiu explored calmly and steadily, one step at a time.
After passing through the corridor, he found himself atop a massive chessboard.
Rows of soldiers, knights, mages, queens, and kings were arranged in black and white columns, as if waiting for a chess player.
"So this is the chessboard showdown... I remember, one needs to play the role of a chess player and lead one's side to victory in order to pass, right?"
Zhong Shenxiu stroked his chin.
He didn't know how to play chess, but he could use brute force.
With that thought, he walked over to his side's king, commanding a pawn, "You... go and kill the enemy king!"
The pawn was a human-sized giant metal statue, holding a shield and spear, with well-defined muscles.
But at that moment, if it could show any expression on its face, it would surely be one of utter confusion.
What chess rules allowed for slaying the dragon with the opening move?
