Chapter 70: First-level Monster

"Yanqiu, we are still one essence away from using the second chess piece quota. Who do you think we should give it to first?"

Zhou Qingshan passed this great thing to Mo Yanqiu's mind through the power of bondage.

He had three choices, one was Gao Feixue, one was Zhou Hu, and the other was Xiao Yanque.

Any one of the three will do. In fact, recruiting chess pieces, apart from the fact that he, as the master of the chessboard, can check their spirits and martial arts progress at any time, will not greatly improve one's strength if no new bond power is stimulated.

After all, the golden bond [Unparalleled] clearly states that it is the exclusive bond between him and Mo Yanqiu.

"Can it stimulate new binding power?" Mo Yanqiu replied in his heart.

"Not sure." Zhou Qingshan speculated: "This bond is a bit like fate, it depends entirely on the compatibility of the two people."

Fate is very easy to explain. For example, if a woman is going to kill her husband, the scientific explanation is 'magnetic fields repel each other'. If two people force themselves to stay together, their magnetic fields will deplete each other's energy and spirit, making them tired and exhausted, and naturally everything will go wrong.

People's seventh sense is very magical. We can never be friends with someone who makes us feel disgusted at first sight.

But if two like-minded people encourage and support each other, and each walks their own path, they are the noble people a person meets in his life.

“A golden scale cannot stay in a pond. Once it encounters wind and clouds, it will turn into a dragon.” This sentence fully explains the origin of the power of “bonds”.

This golden bond [Unparalleled] is most likely the result of the superposition of his and Mo Yanqiu's fate. Especially since the power of this bond can be repaired and grown because of the consummation of their marriage, it further verifies his guess.

The chess piece panel only stimulates the mysterious power of destiny and materializes it, rather than bestowing it.

"Husband, who do you want to choose?" Mo Yanqiu thought about it and said in his mind, "If you haven't made up your mind, you can actually choose Feixue."

If the bond cannot be activated, the magic contract is only equivalent to an insurance of "absolute loyalty", and it is self-evident who it is given to.

Zhou Qingshan got this information and hesitated a little: "This chess piece is very important. Next time I upgrade the Cloud Top chessboard, I will need either 20 essences or 50 essences. The worst case scenario is 100 essences. And I can't cancel the chess piece contract."

He tried to remove himself from his identity as a chess piece, but his eyebrows suddenly twitched and he felt a great fear.

There were originally nine "reserve seats" in the game, where the owner of the chessboard could replace chess pieces at will, bring chess pieces onto the field, and assemble a powerful lineup of his own, but the chess pieces he had here could only be "sold" to return to the Essence?
What's the difference between this and directly "erasing"? !

"If Feixue knows my secret, she will never be free again. Yanqiu, you'd better tell her clearly about this. I don't want her to hate me for the rest of her life." Zhou Qingshan continued.

Although the chess piece panel represents "absolute loyalty", it is not a "stamp of thought" and cannot quietly change a person's heart. Once a choice is made, there is no turning back.

Gao Feixue is different from the other members of the guard team. She can only be considered a guest, not a retainer, and can leave at any time.

After hearing this, Mo Yanqiu's body trembled slightly.

"Why not choose the little Flame Bird? It's a good opportunity to recruit non-human chess pieces and test the chessboard at the same time." Zhou Qingshan saw Mo Yanqiu's hesitation and made a suggestion.

"That's good." Mo Yanqiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh no, it's an advanced beast!"

At this moment, a long howl suddenly came from the thick fog.

It was Zhou Hu's voice.

The two were suddenly startled. Mo Yanqiu did not hesitate to pick up the Zhenyue Spear and rushed into the fog with two guards, quickly running towards the source of the sound.

Gao Feixue, who was not far from the fog, also heard Zhou Hu's voice and immediately gathered the team, quickened their pace, and rushed in the direction of the voice. Zhou Hu stared nervously at the huge shadow standing on the tree. The true face of the strange beast was difficult to identify in the thick fog, so he did not dare to act rashly.

Because of Mo Yanqiu’s warning.

He found a favorable position near the stream and used chicken blood as bait to hunt strange beasts. This place was only a mile away from the spiritual realm.

Unexpectedly, he encountered such a tough big guy the second time he made a move.

Zhou Hu suffered a great loss in terms of weapons. His medium-level ordinary long sword was shattered the moment it came into contact with the sharp claws of the monster.

He barely dodged it, but still sustained a deep wound on his arm.

At this moment, he was unarmed and did not dare to retreat. He could only wait for support from home.

"Poisonous?!" Zhou Hu suddenly felt a wave of itching on his arm. He didn't dare to take his eyes away from the strange beast, but only glanced at his arm cautiously. He saw that the blood flowing out of the wound had turned black.

Zhou Hu immediately realized why the strange beast stopped attacking after one strike and instead quietly observed him from a distance. It turned out that it was waiting for him to be poisoned and unable to resist.

After realizing this, Zhou Hu breathed a sigh of relief. A beast is a beast. It is greedy for the flesh and blood of warriors, but afraid of getting hurt. If he were to take the opportunity to chase and attack him now, he would not be able to survive until he got support from his family without his weapons.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Not long after, Zhou Hu and the other two heard hurried footsteps coming from behind. Realizing that rescue was about to arrive, their tense nerves finally felt relieved a little, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Wow wow!!"

The strange beast on the tree seemed to sense the danger and suddenly let out a shrill cry.

Zhou Hu and the other two felt dizzy and their vision blurred, as if the whole world was spinning and they were in a trance.

This is the innate ability of the alien beast!
At this moment, the strange beast spread its wings, and like a dark cloud covering the sky, it swooped down from the tree quickly, turning into a black shadow and rushing straight towards Zhou Hu.

Zhou Hu suppressed the discomfort and bit the tip of his tongue. The severe pain barely brought him back to consciousness from the dizziness.

Almost at the same time, a gust of fierce wind blew in his face, and his body rolled to the side violently, almost brushing against the sharp claws of the strange beast, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"Wow wow wow!!"

However, it turned in mid-air, let out a shrill cry, and pounced on Zhou Hu again.

This time, it was so fast that people had almost no time to react.

At this critical moment, a figure rushed out from the side, and the Zhenyue Spear in her hand was like a black dragon, with a sound of breaking through the air.

The tip of the gun accurately pierced the wings of the strange beast, black feathers flew everywhere, and the strange beast let out a shrill scream.

Mo Yanqiu was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the enemy without giving the strange beast any chance to breathe.

"Wow wow wow!!"

But at this moment, the cry of the strange beast sounded again, sharper and more urgent than before. It was no longer a simple sound wave, but a substantial attack.

The sound was like tiny needles piercing the eardrums. Even a martial arts master like Mo Yanqiu felt a splitting headache, as if millions of ants were crawling in her mind, making it almost impossible for her to stand.
