Chapter 158: The Rule's Vision

fend against illusions, we couldn't avoid detection."The simplest way would be to crawl into each carriage one by one and check it. While incognito can hide your tracks, it can't make your body vanis...The website address for the Love Books Network is... This fog obscures vision and cannot be dispelled by any means; it belongs to the rules of the game of life and death.

At the beginning, after the Bai Gu Dao sacrificed the whole town of Xiaolin in Fenglin City, due to their connection with the Netherworld, a mist appeared.

These two layers of mist are, of course, not the same. But in a game of life and death, the fog of the rules of Go can be seen as the mist that separates the two worlds.

Time flies, and years pass quickly.

Those brothers who went to Xiaolin Town with me back then, now, there are probably only Du Yěhǔ left. I wonder how he's doing in Jiujang Xuanjia...

In the eyes of the celebration of the Yuanchen, Jiang Wang merely paused for a moment before moving forward.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

In Jiang Wang's hand, he held a scroll of pale yellow silk. It was the very contract of imperial authority that he had signed during the "Pointing at the Stars" ritual, which granted him his current position.

One side bears the contract and his blood signature. When flipped over, it unfolds to shimmer with points of light. It is almost like a miniature stone tablet chessboard you carry with you. The player uses it to keep track of their own position and that of their opponents, facilitating the "game" .

The only difference is that the stone tablet chessboard can display the positions of all competing teams at any time. While inside the game, on the King's Mandate, there is only one opportunity each day to view the positions of all competitors and it needs to be used wisely.

Jiang Wang seized the opportunity today without hesitation.

At this time, the red circular light spots they represent are at the outermost edge of the entire chessboard of life and death. And so far, the purple light spot in the innermost circle is undoubtedly the Chi-Lei Department represented by Lei Zhanqian.

All the teams ahead of us, the Fire Brigade can be disregarded for now. The most important thing right now is to find a "live point" and secure it.

The Life and Death Chessboard distinguishes between the chess master, the player, the chess partner, and the pawn. Each identity has its own meaning.

The most important manifestation is in the "rule of vision."

It is called "Rules" because the perspective in a game of life and death chess is not affected by individual conditions, but is generated under the "Rules".

That is to say, no matter how perfect the eye's development or how powerful the dowsing techniques, if "rules" do not permit it, one cannot see. But if "rules" allow it, even a blind person can see.

But in the game of life and death.

The chess master saw seven of them directly.

Thus, all seven positions in front, behind, left, and right are within the field of view and are not obscured by the rules' mist.

Two chess players, can only see each other diagonally, seeing six positions.

Please note that I've only translated the text content within the tags. HTML tags are not translated.

For example, four stone slabs form a "田" character. The chess player is located on the lower left corner stone slab. Under the rules' restrictions, you can't see front, back, left, or right, only diagonally. For instance, you can see the upper right corner stone slab. Centered on your position, any continuous six chess positions in a diagonal direction.

Six chess pieces, can only be seen by leaping positions, seen four leaps.

For example, three stone slabs form a "目" character. If a player is on the bottom slab, they can't see the middle slab but only the top one. This way of jumping positions allows you to see the situations four times in different directions—forward, backward, left, and right, within the jump range.

A player can only see the tiles directly adjacent to their own, including those above, below, left, right, and diagonally.

It is precisely because the chess master, the chess player, the chess general, and the pawns all have different "rules of vision," this can lead to many combinations of visions. The importance of "vision" is undeniable. In a game of life and death, it is not about going it alone.

Therefore, the entire Jihua Department was wiped out, leaving only the Chess Master and Queen. Even though the Jihua Department's Chess Master was extraordinary in skill, all the other tribes were not optimistic about the Jihua Department.

Of course, people like Jiang Wang who know Jiang Wuxie's identity would certainly not take him lightly.

Each piece of the chessboard represents a square tile, sixteen zhang long and wide. It is large enough to comfortably accommodate seventeen people standing together.

This might be safer and more stable, but it obviously cannot maximize the use of rule vision.

As the qí zhǔ (chess master), Jiāng Wàng could see seven positions in front of him and to his left and right.

The chess players have a duty to protect, including the two players, Qihua Yuanchen included, who stand beside Jiang Wang. They flank him on either side, helping him observe the six diagonal positions. Each player is responsible for observing one diagonal line.

The "rules-based vision" of a qixing (a chess piece) is to see four leaps, meaning it can see up to the eighth position directly. The limit of their vision surpasses that of the player's "rules-based vision" by one position. Therefore, four qixings accompanied Jiangwang, carefully observing all directions.

The remaining two chess pieces are placed on the left and right positions of the main chess piece, focusing on observing the front.

The eight pieces of the Go game are divided into two teams, each with four players, guarding the two pieces on either side.

The entire team advanced in this formation.

This is definitely not the most effective way to maximize the rule of sight. But it's relatively safe. Because who knows what dangers are lurking in those impenetrable mists If the distance is too great, there might not even be a chance for rescue if an accident happens.

Because the soldiers of the Qihubing tribe had their extraordinary powers nullified within the Life and Death Chessboard, Jiang Wang needed to accommodate their speed.

The speed of the slowest person on the team is the speed of the whole team.

The Qinghuo Department has devoted most of its energy to the "Azure Totem" for years and doesn't really have any experience participating in the Game of Life and Death.

At Jiang Wang's request, every three moves, each player and their chess pieces had to report their "rule vision" situation.

“Xiang Yi, safety.”

"Let's make it safe."

"Let's be safe."

Everyone is ranked as Shi Yi, Shi Er, Xiang Yi, Xiang Er, Xiang San, and so on. This way, if an accident happens, the team can quickly and accurately grasp where it occurred.

Taking part in the war with the Qiujisha army was a very valuable experience. As one of the Qiujia soldiers, the Qiujisha army basically represents the level of the top military forces in the world.

Having had such experience, it's not too difficult to arrange a battle plan for such a small team.

"Shi Yi, safe."

"My lord, there is a squad of spearmen armed with stone weapons to the right and slightly forward, four positions ahead!"

In the game of Life and Death Chess, there are various stone soldiers, organized into teams of five people.

While not strong in terms of combat power, a tribal warrior who has lost their extraordinary abilities would need to have at least twice the number of opponents to be confident of victory.

"Ignore it. Keep moving forward." Jiang Wang commanded.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

When there is a choice, it is necessary to engage in combat with various types of stone soldiers so that when unavoidable battles occur, you can be fully prepared.

But at this time, this is not the top priority. It's best to avoid battle if possible.

In the past, when they executed missions in teams at the Daoist Temple, Commander Ling He always led the squad. His command style was steady and thorough. He almost never made mistakes and rarely had moments that seemed particularly brilliant.

Now that Jiang Wang is in charge of the team, he can't help but be influenced by this. He tries his best to avoid risks and focuses on completing the set goals.

>

Keep moving forward, keep receiving messages, mostly silent, only giving orders when necessary.

Half an hour is not enough time, so everyone is trying their best.

"Xianglu, the fourth leap discovered a 'hot spot'!" Chess piece Xianglu exclaimed in surprise.

"Prepare for battle!"

>

"Growing points" are always surrounded by obstacles.

Jiang Wang strode confidently to the right, one position at a time, until he reached the space before the fourth jump. This path opened up his view of seven chess positions ahead.

> ps: The rules of the game "Life and Death Chess" were designed by me. They incorporate a lot of factors and are quite complex. It really makes my brain hurt, and I'm starting to lose hair...

>

I tried my best to explain it clearly so that everyone can understand it easily and without any strain.

It might feel like a struggle to write this, and it may not be well-received, but I wrote it anyway.

Based on the simplest logic, as a game named "life and death" that can decide the fate of a tribe for a hundred years, it must take many aspects into consideration and shouldn't be too simple.

The current Go board may not be capable of bearing its responsibility, but I also don't have more time to give it.

After all, it has lived longer than the entire world of floating continents.

Still, I hope it is persuasive.

By the way, please vote for me.
