    On the other side.


    People from Wild Gold Country had already retreated to the outskirts.


    “We found Halide’s body, and Harry Deick is also dead… We suffered heavy losses, and the higher-ups have ordered us to pull back.”


    “Pull back? Are you willing to accept that?” A young woman with purple hair showed her unwillingness plainly.


    “Mei Ya, it’s not a matter of being willing or not. It’s that we’re powerless now. Father can’t come in; here, it’s Pitan and Des’s world, and there are also those experts lurking in the dark. If we rush back in recklessly, we only have a one-way ticket to death.”


    “But if we get the Spiritual Medicine here, we can make a breakthrough. Don’t you want to break through? As long as we break through, who will be our match in the future!” Mei Ya shouted, throwing caution to the wind and plunging back in.


    The others looked at each other.


    “I’m out.”


    “I’m with Mei Ya.”


    A group split into two factions, and from there, they went their separate ways.


    …


    Pei Jinye was counting time; 24 hours had passed since he sacrificed his Vitality to exchange for luck.


    He made a decisive move, consuming another fifty thousand Vitality.


    Then he said, “Wuzi, Blood Packet.”


    Wuzi handed over the Blood Packets accumulated during this time.


    [Vitality +55000]


    His depleted Vitality skyrocketed once again.


    Pei Jinye suddenly felt a delightful sensation all over his body and was once again filled with strength.


    “Come on, let’s bet on it!”


    He knew that Des had already led his team to establish a stronghold on a mountaintop.


    But he wanted to gamble.


    Bet that these fifty thousand points of Blood Energy could exchange for a chance.


    …


    He didn’t know where his chance would be and just headed straight forward.


    Soon he reached the edge of a cliff.


    “Could it be… under the cliff again?”


    Saying this, he took a leap.


    Ice Wings unfolded.


    He glided down swiftly.


    In the blink of an eye, he found himself in front of a tranquil Bi Tan.


    Almost instantly.


    A huge maw opened in the middle of Bi Tan, swallowing Pei Jinye whole.


    Slimy fluids wrapped around him.


    Pei Jinye hurriedly urged his Elemental Power to avoid injury, sliding past the sharp teeth of the enormous creature and tumbling into its stomach.


    It felt as if a vaguely transparent plastic bag enveloped him, suspending him in a dark and deep void.


    As Pei Jinye approached, he could feel the highly corrosive nature of the slimy sack. Any ordinary person would likely have been eaten away by now.


    But he had ways to protect himself.


    “Could the chance be… being swallowed?”


    While Pei Jinye pondered, a sudden upheaval occurred.


    The sack shook violently.


    Pei Jinye almost felt he would plummet down completely.


    Yet the sack’s elasticity was strong.


    Suddenly, a massive suction force came, and he was spit out. He quickly dodged into the shadows.


    A Giant Dragon sneezed, each sound thunderous, deafening.


    Pei Jinye saw it clearly.


    This was a Crocodile Dragon.


    One twenty times larger than Werewolf Des.


    Pei Jinye couldn’t help but take a sharp intake of breath.


    If this Crocodile Dragon were to leave the mountain, what Des, what Pitan, probably wouldn’t even be enough for one bite.


    As for himself…


    Had it not been for the luck on his side, he might have had to start over.


    The Crocodile Dragon lumbered about, slowly moving away and eventually disappearing into the darkness.


    Pei Jinye quietly didn’t move, hiding in the shadows.


    After a while.


    A pair of eyes, larger than floor-to-ceiling windows and glowing eerily red, emerged from the shadows opposite, silently watching this place.


    “Roar–”


    The voice waves caused the air to burst.


    Pei Jinye clenched his teeth and endured.


    Visibly, his Three Attribute Values plunged rapidly.


    “Damn!”


    “What in the world is this!”


    He cursed silently.


    Just as Pei Jinye’s Attribute Points were about to drop below ten thousand, the Crocodile Dragon stopped roaring, and after making sure of something, dragged its massive body slowly into the sea water and disappeared once again.


    Pei Jinye finally exhaled in relief.


    Despite the close shave with death.


    But still cautious, he waited for a long time.


    Only when he was absolutely sure that the fearsome beast had truly disappeared did he move from his spot.


    But he still stayed “soaked” in the shadows.


    Although he didn’t know why that gigantic terrifying creature appeared there, Pei Jinye was certain of one thing.


    The place where he was spat out was definitely not the abode of that large creature.


    Because this was a lair for Human beings to live and practice, and it looked quite small.


    A stone table, two stone stools, and a chessboard set upon the table with just the right number of black and white pieces.


    No one could tell the victor.


    There was a scroll placed next to it, opened to about a tenth of its length.


    However, Pei Jinye couldn’t make out the content of the painting.


    “Very strange.”


    “It’s just like it has been abandoned for a very very long time…”


    He tried to open the picture on the shelf, but he found a force blocking him.


    “If this is the chance… then what should the chance be?”


    As he pondered.


    His gaze involuntarily landed on the chessboard.


    It was as if two Giant Dragons of black and white were locked in battle.


    Suddenly, on a whim.


    He stepped forward.


    Took a piece.


    His Federation LV6 level intellect, having devoured a vast amount of data, made him no less than a god of AI chess.


    The combat between the two dragons on the board was indeed evenly matched, but to him, it was a pity, like a dragon in shallow waters.


    “If that’s the case, then allow me to lend you a hand.”


    He first played a three-three point.


    A black piece moved on its own.


    Pei Jinye’s gaze remained steady, seemingly guessing this move.


    As the black piece blocked below.


    Pei Jinye picked up a white piece.


    A dozen moves later.


    The white pieces occupied four corners of the board, the dragon of white growing in strength as if aided by gods, and right when the black piece took two of the white corner pieces,


    Pei Jinye’s gaze did not change.


    Shallow waters cannot raise a Real Dragon.


    With another assist, the white dragon turned misfortune into fortune, consuming three black pieces.


    In a flash.


    The disadvantage of the black pieces grew larger and larger.


    Until after fifty moves, Pei Jinye didn’t place the piece because the winner was clear.


    He looked toward the other side of the chessboard.


    Gradually, the figure of an old man took shape.


    He put down the black piece.


    Stood up and bowed towards Pei Jinye.


    It seemed he was trying to say something.


    But no sound reached.


    However, Pei Jinye could read lips, and the words were clearly “Thank you for the lesson, senior.”


    Pei Jinye returned the gesture.

    The old man gestured with his hand.


    The adjacent scroll slowly opened.


    It was like a world was unfolding in Pei Jinye’s vision.


    An incredibly realistic world!


    The bustle of voices, as if he was right there amidst it!
