Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 783 - 33: Total Annihilation

Victory came without suspense, almost without a scratch, as Bo Xiyu, after slaying the enemy beast chess’s beast head, pierced the enemy’s "Nest Banner" flag with a spear.

As soon as the banner was in hand, the beast chess mounts of the eight people let out a victorious roar, carrying them back to their original position.

The rings on the hands of the eight people each emitted a green light, and on each of their rings a "1" appeared.

What exactly this "1" stood for, the crowd did not know for the moment, but it undoubtedly represented that Bo Xiyu and the others had gained the qualifications to enter Four Symbols City.

As soon as the eight people landed, the eight beast chess pieces turned into eight points of flowing light, returning to their original camp.

After Bo Xiyu’s victory, he did not plan to enter Four Symbols City immediately, but instead, he simply rested on the spot, evidently intending to observe the following matches.

A game of Beast Chess could reveal the strength of the Dark Practitioners participating in the Xuyang Trial this time, and what Bo Xiyu focused on observing was the true strength of Yue Jinghua and the others.

Seeing Bo Xiyu motionless, the other successful contestants also decided to stay where they were and wait.

In the battle just now, Bo Xiyu and others, making up the First Team, had slain four enemy beast chess pieces, namely the tiger, lion, deer, and snake.

In the enemy camp, correspondingly, four beast positions were vacated.

The remaining teams who had not fought yet all breathed a sigh of relief, secretly rejoicing that Bo Xiyu and his team had paved the way for them.

Just as the second team had yet to take the stage, there came a "squeak, squeak" noise like a grinding stone from the enemy camp, as four new beast chess rose from the ground, different from the earlier ones. The new additions were still tiger, lion, deer, and snake, but these beast chess were drastically different.

They were clad in rigid battle helmets, their beast eyes flashed with human-like intelligence, they stood upright on their hind legs, swinging shields and weapons with their front limbs, now possessing the intellect of Beastmen soldiers.

"Damn," all the team members couldn’t help but curse loudly. It turned out the beast chess grew stronger with each fight, with a Beastman soldier replacing any fallen beast chess. If it went on to the end, no one knew what kind of monster would appear next, and the Array Master who designed this Chess Formation was indeed a perverted old freak.

Transitioning from fighting the unsophisticated beast chess to battling with the Beastman Chess, possessing a rudimentary human cognition, the difficulty of the subsequent Beast Fighting Chess had undoubtedly elevated to another level.

"What are we waiting for, hurry up and charge, otherwise, who knows what kind of ghostly creature will emerge next," the remaining teams, having witnessed this eerie scene, scrambled to be the first to join the fray.

One of the slightly stronger teams seized the initiative, with eight people swiftly forming the second Beast Fighting Chess team and charging into the wilderness chessboard.

The beast chess chosen by the eight people were not much different from Bo Xiyu and his teammates, even their combat methods were nearly identical.

"Idiots, to actually copy our pattern, they don’t even see their own capabilities," the First Team’s Ye Yanyu and others mocked from the side.

Yue Jinghua also shook her head; this team was going to suffer miserably.

Firstly, their team members consisted of only three Dark Heavenly members, while the rest were at Dark Earth Peak.

To drive the relatively large-bodied Dark Beasts such as lions and leopards with the Dark Power of a few Dark Earth individuals was already challenging, let alone facing the significantly empowered Beastman Chess; the outcome was predictable.

As expected, shortly after barging into the enemy formation.

The four newly added Beastman Chess demonstrated their alarming combat ability, surrounding a leading mercenary from all sides.

"Tsk," after that chilling sound of blood spraying, the head of the young mercenary leader, who had achieved Dark Heavenly Great Success, was chopped off. His eyes wide open, as if he had not anticipated dying in such an unknown wilderness.

After killing a Dark Practitioner, the activated Beastman Chess, stimulated by the fresh blood, fought more fiercely like reaping wheat, overwhelming the fleeing members of the Second Team whose leader had been slain, leaving them with disintegrated morale and no one in command.

As the Beast Chess swept through, none of the eight team members survived, and even the "Beast Nest" flag was captured in the end.

Across the wilderness swept a chilling and piercing wind, carrying a scent of blood that shocked one’s Divine Soul.

The blood was the real smell of blood.

This game of Beast Fighting Chess, which at first seemed like child’s play, had now turned into a true slaughter.

Death, like an invisible shadow, crept in quietly.

It was only at this time that everyone realized they were facing a real battle, not a casual game of cards.

The joy of the entire First Team having passed quickly washed away by the bloodshed and brutality of the full eradication of the Second Team.

On the wilderness, a dead silence prevailed.

Even Bo Xiyu and others who had passed successfully had somber expressions.

Someone cried out in panic, "Annihilation? Complete team annihilation?!"

Faced with the un-dried blood spread across the wilderness, with corpses decapitated, so real and brutal, some recoiled in fear, while others hesitated.

Fear and unease were evident in the eyes of most people.

They had come to participate in the Xuyang Trial; although they had long prepared for injury or even death during the competition, they had never anticipated facing such a real threat of death before the contest officially began.

These individuals selected for the Xuyang Trial were undoubtedly among the best of the continent’s younger generation, but most were still very young, unprepared for such swift and lightning-fast demise, their confidence shattered utterly.

"I don’t want to take part in any Xuyang Trial," said a few mercenaries with weaker defenses, who did not look back as they took the empty ship and returned the way they came with the Flying Profound Beast.

Some teams, previously eager to try, also shrank back, each pushing the other, with no one willing to step forward.

"Captain, do we only have six people?" The recent bloody battle had undoubtedly also been a shock to the members of the July Mercenary Team.

Each of them had their confidence shaken to a certain degree, but when they looked into Yue Jinghua’s eyes, serene as a still ancient well, they inexplicably felt a surge of stability; yet even if they were to fight, they were short in numbers. In such a state of fear, where could they find two reliable comrades?

"Perhaps you are short of people? Why not consider including the two of us?" Just as Yue Jinghua and the others were in a dilemma, a stranger’s voice was heard from behind.

A man and a woman stepped out of the crowd.

Upon seeing the pair, Yue Jinghua frowned.

Bo Xiyu and the others were also taken aback.

With their appearances and demeanors, they had blended into the crowd, and until now, had gone unnoticed.
