Chapter 2875: Chess Game (Fourth Update)

Su Xiao and the Nightmare Prince sat opposite each other at the chessboard, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja were on Su Xiao's left and right.

Before the Animal Chess game began, they had to toss a gold coin first. With a ding, the gold coin landed on the chessboard. It was actually Su Xiao first. Looking at the appearance, the Nightmare Prince still had some integrity and didn't directly tamper with the chessboard.

"Always so unlucky. Before we begin, let both sides decide on the chips first."

"..."

Su Xiao took out 10 Soul Crystals (Complete) and placed them on the scale to the side.

"Generous outsider, can you tell me your name?"

"Bai Ye."

"There is no night in the Holy Land. Your name is not lucky."

The Nightmare Prince placed gold coins one by one on the scale. After placing about 300 gold coins, the scale became balanced.

Ding~

The Nightmare Prince tossed a gold coin over. After Su Xiao caught it, a hint from Reincarnation Paradise appeared.

【Undead Gold Coin】

Origin: Demon Spirit Star, Holy Land, Qiliade, Gallery (Unique)

Quality: Legendary

Category: Rare Item

Brief: This is a gold coin condensed by extraordinary power after the Holy Land Gallery devoured treasures. It requires a long time and consumes rare materials such as equipment and gemstones to form.

Price: 76,200 Paradise Coins

The price of 2 【Undead Gold Coins】 was equal to 1 Soul Coin + 2,400 Paradise Coins. He didn't know how many Undead Gold Coins the Nightmare Prince had.

Su Xiao picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard. The chessboard was divided into enemy and self sides. Both sides had Undead Monarchs. Some chess pieces were used for attack, some were used for defense, and there were also functional ones. Whichever side's Undead Monarch was eliminated, that side would lose.

Su Xiao placed a chess piece on the chessboard. The chessboard was covered in frost.

"Frost Horn Ox as the vanguard? A steady and sharp opening."

The Nightmare Prince also placed a chess piece on the chessboard. Upon seeing the chess piece placed by his opponent and the placement of the piece, he knew that he had already won this game.

Although the Nightmare Prince claimed to be a wandering soul, he actually had a physical body. Su Xiao inferred that the other party's body was highly likely won. The life force of this body was very strong.

Two minutes later, the Undead Monarch in front of Su Xiao exploded, let out a wail, and turned into smoke and dissipated. He lost the first game.

"A brilliant game."

The Nightmare Prince leaned back in his chair, somewhat unsatisfied. The scale beside the chessboard tilted, and the 10 Soul Crystals (Complete) and 600 Undead Gold Coins all slid into the stone box beside the Nightmare Prince's hand.

"Are you really playing Animal Chess for the first time? I haven't felt such pressure for a long time. Let's continue."

Although the Nightmare Prince said so, in reality, he hadn't even used 10% of his level.

Su Xiao's expression was somewhat ugly. He took out 20 Soul Crystals (Complete) and placed them on the scale. The Nightmare Prince opposite placed 1,200 Undead Gold Coins on the scale.

The second game ended after 1 minute. The scale tilted, and the Soul Crystals and Undead Gold Coins all slid into the stone box beside the Nightmare Prince's hand.

"Bai Ye, I was just joking with you just now. If you want to leave, you can go now, but... these Soul Stones, I cannot return them. A chess game is not child's play; winning or losing depends on one's own ability."

"..."

Su Xiao still didn't speak, lowering his eyelids. Seeing his expression, the Nightmare Prince knew that his arrangement had already taken effect. In the third game, the opponent would at least take out 40 or more Soul Stones.

Previously, Su Xiao had a total of 124 Soul Crystals (Complete), and now only 94 remained. He pondered for a moment and placed 40 Soul Crystals (Complete) on the scale.

"40? You had better calm down."

Although the Nightmare Prince said so, his movements were not slow, placing a large bag of Undead Gold Coins on the scale, totaling 2,400.

Su Xiao picked up an Animal Chess piece casually and placed it on the chessboard. The Nightmare Prince opposite was smiling on the surface, but laughing wildly in his heart. Every time it reached this stage, it was the time he enjoyed the most.

1 minute later, the scale tilted again, and the Nightmare Prince won again.

"A hero doesn't win the first three games."

Baja activated the terminal while speaking.

The fourth game began. Su Xiao bet 50 Soul Crystals (Complete), and the Nightmare Prince placed 3,000 Undead Gold Coins on the other side of the scale, a very large bag.

The chess game began. Five minutes later, the Nightmare Prince was holding a chess piece in his hand, his face tense. Several times he wanted to drop the chess piece, but he was hesitant.

Seeing this scene, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Baja felt extremely refreshed in their hearts. They hadn't used the micro-terminal for the first three games, just to get the opponent to take the bait.

Ten minutes later, sweat appeared on the Nightmare Prince's forehead. He stared at the chessboard in front of him and finally placed the chess piece in his hand back onto the chess rack. For this game, he chose to forfeit.

"It seems I need to be serious."

Just as the Nightmare Prince finished speaking, the scale tilted, and 50 Soul Crystals and 3,000 Undead Gold Coins slid toward Su Xiao. This made the Nightmare Prince feel a pang of heartache, but he didn't show it at all on his face, and even said a sentence, congratulating Su Xiao on winning the first game.

The fifth game began and ended after 12 minutes. Su Xiao won, and 3,000 Undead Gold Coins were credited.

The sixth game began and ended after 9 minutes. Su Xiao won back 30 Soul Crystals (Complete) plus 1,200 Undead Gold Coins.

The seventh game began and ended after 11 minutes. Su Xiao won back 40 Soul Crystals (Complete) plus 600 Undead Gold Coins.

When the seventh game ended, Su Xiao had won back all the Soul Crystals (Complete) and won an extra 4,800 Undead Gold Coins. This was approximately equal to 2,438 Soul Coins.

At this time, the Nightmare Prince opposite was sweating profusely from losing, trying his best to suppress the irritability in his heart.

In the Nightmare Prince's gaze, which was as if he wanted to kill, Su Xiao took back all the Soul Crystals (Complete) into his storage space and continued to gamble with the Nightmare Prince using the 4,800 Undead Gold Coins he had won.

Unknowingly, the Nightmare Prince's mentality had undergone some changes.

With a slap, Su Xiao threw a super-large bag onto the scale, betting all 4,800 Undead Gold Coins.

"Good, good, good. It's been a long time since anyone pushed me to this extent."

The Nightmare Prince was a bit carried away. He took out a large bag containing Undead Gold Coins, fixed the quantity, and threw it onto the scale as well.

The eighth game began. 15 minutes later, the Nightmare Prince sitting opposite was as if he were about to petrify. He was only a little bit away from winning, just a little bit.

With two slaps, the scale tilted, and two large bags landed beside Su Xiao's feet, containing a total of 9,600 Undead Gold Coins, approximately equal to 4,876 Soul Coins, equivalent to Su Xiao's total gain from one world when he was in the mid-Seventh Tier.

"The last game."

The Nightmare Prince took out 3,128 Undead Gold Coins. This was his last reserve. Most of his previous opponents had lost everything to him. The Nightmare Prince wanted to exist in the Gallery, so he had to absorb the power within the Undead Gold Coins.

It was nothing in the short term, but over a long time, the number of Undead Gold Coins consumed became exaggerated. It had been a long time since an outsider came to the Gallery, so the Nightmare Prince had to seize every opportunity to win everything from his opponent; otherwise, he would just be waiting to slowly perish.

19 minutes later, the 3,128 Undead Gold Coins bet by the Nightmare Prince were happily accepted by Su Xiao. He won this game very dangerously, at least it appeared so.

The Nightmare Prince opposite narrowed his eyes, his fierce look failing.

"Are you sure you can kill me?"

Su Xiao spoke, which made the Nightmare Prince's expression change slightly. This Gallery, chessboard, and scale were all very special existences. The Nightmare Prince was just barely surviving here, which was why he tried every method to tamper with things to give himself an advantage.

"You have one more chance."

Su Xiao put all 12,728 Undead Gold Coins into a bag and placed it on the scale.

"You can bet your wandering soul."

"!"

The Nightmare Prince's body leaned backward. He could feel the heart of his body thumping.

"Rogesh is at the Ring Water Altar. He once lost to Xiwu there. You can go there to find him."

Speaking of this, the Nightmare Prince let out a long sigh and continued:

"I bet... my soul. I want to win everything back."

The Nightmare Prince's hand patted the other side of the scale. Veins bulged on his face, gradually pressing the scale flat.

The last game began. 32 seconds later, Su Xiao placed a chess piece representing the 'Sting-Life Scorpion' on the chessboard. The Undead Monarch opposite wailed and dissipated.

"Ah!"

The Nightmare Prince used both hands to grab his own face. Blue-gray smoke drifted out from his body. A few seconds later, his forehead hit the chessboard with a thud, and his entire person didn't move. He was dead.

Clatter~

12,728 Undead Gold Coins shattered and flew toward Su Xiao, converting into 6,465 Soul Coins.

【Hint: You have killed the Nightmare Prince Elysic.】

【You have obtained 10.2% World Source.】

Su Xiao stood up from the chair. He had known one thing from the beginning: all gambling, in any form, was just a carefully planned scam; it was just a matter of whose scam was more brilliant. Ten gambles, nine scams? No, ten gambles, ten scams. The end of a gambler was very miserable, just like the Nightmare Prince, who even lost his own soul.

A few meters away, the young girl who had been sitting on a high chair painting, no, it should be the Nightmare Prince's mother, turned her gaze, looked at the corpse lying on the chessboard, then ignored it and continued to modify a painting on the wall.

In fact, this was the super big boss of the Gallery, only a notch weaker than the Immortal Xiwu at his peak. If they fought inside the Gallery, she might be even stronger.

The thin mist inside the Gallery dissipated, and the two giant doors dozens of meters away opened wide.

Arriving before the exit, Su Xiao saw the 'Soul Skeleton' leaning against the wall. He activated this 5th Soul Skeleton.

Su Xiao already knew Rogesh's location. What he needed to do next was very simple: before the other party completely mastered the Dark Mask, slash the other party.
