Chapter 643 Military Ceremony
The King of Ants and Ji Xing were actually somewhat different from what he expected. When he found that the King of Ants and Xiaojie were somewhat similar, he knew that the King of Chimera Ants in front of him would not be the kind of "villain" in traditional hot-blooded comics.
As for what exactly is similar, it is probably temperament and feeling.
Both of them have a sense of loss, like newborn babies, who have been instilled with some knowledge and principles but have not integrated them, and may change their appearance at any time because of something.
In fact, Ji Xing's judgment is not wrong. In the plot of Hunter x Hunter, the King of Ants and Xiaojie are indeed a pair with very neat parallelism. The main line of the entire Ant Chapter is actually the story of Xiaojie sinking into darkness and the King of Ants walking into light.
Their sense of symmetry has reached an exaggerated degree. They have adopted the same sitting posture, shown the same eyes, and had the same back view. Even in the battle, the King of Ants "avenged" Xiaojie.
When taking the Hunter Exam, Gon and Netero played a ball grabbing game. Netero used only his right leg and left hand to play with Gon. In the battle with the Ant King Netero, the Ant King took away Netero's right leg and left hand.
Some people have been arguing about who is stronger, Gon or the Ant King, who grew up through the oath and overdrawn all his potential to crush and kill Neferpido.
In fact, the answer is clear.
They are equally strong.
Of course, that was the Ant King before his rebirth.
The strength of the Ant King in front of him was slightly beyond Ji Xing's expectations. According to the threat level of the fluttering moth, there were only 3 points left...
"Did you feed yourself to the Ant King?"
When Ji Xing observed the Ant King, the Ant King was naturally examining Ji Xing.
The Qi that could slightly sense emotions only captured a slight surprise on Ji Xing. The rest was like a vast ocean, deep and bottomless. Corresponding to this was the sense of power that was captured on humans for the first time.
Compared with being in the Queen's belly, this feeling was clearer and more intuitive!
Indeed...very strong.
"Culture, science, experience, skills..."
He withdrew his gaze from Ji Xing and looked at the chessboard in front of him, saying calmly: "After these two days of understanding, I found that it might not be appropriate to generalize all humans as livestock. For example, there are still a few humans who have the value of survival, such as the development of the powerful red rose. Your appearance makes me more certain of this.
Pufu called you the 'King of Humanity', and you also have the power to match it, but you don't seem to have the determination and ideals to match the 'King'."
The first sentence actually talked to me about ideals? Ji Xing shook his head: "Oh? What ideals should a king have?"
"Rule your own tribe and lead the tribe to a better future." The ant king said: "The incompetent monarch like Digo, the general commander of the East Guotuo Republic who was killed by me a few days ago, was arrogant and extravagant, greedy and lustful, and wasted his own food and clothing, but did not care about the starving people in the country.
Don't you see this unfair distribution of resources? How can you be called a 'king' if you have power but don't change it all?"
After talking about ideals, talk about fairness?
Ji Xing laughed: "How many days have you been born?"
"If you count from when you were born in the queen's womb, four days." The ant king said.
"It's only been four days, and you're already pointing fingers at the order that humans have formed for thousands of years?" Ji Xing smiled and said: "Just as you said, humans do have many shortcomings. When I see a guy like the commander-in-chief you mentioned, I may hate him or kill him. When I see civilians who are starving, I will help and save them, but I don't have the idea of reshaping the order.
A world of great harmony where everyone respects the elderly, everyone loves the young, there is no inequality anywhere, and everyone is well fed and warm is indeed beautiful, but it also has to be combined with actual conditions."
Just like these days, starting with the second prince of the Bergrose United Nations, Ji Xing has set foot in almost every country and killed people, shocking all those with bad intentions, so as to make himself detached from the world, but he has never thought of ideas like 'driving Bergrose off the throne, sitting on the throne himself to establish the Jixing United Nations and unify'.
Maybe it can be done, but it is difficult to maintain stability, and it is even more impossible to control the chaos and casualties in the middle, which will only bring the world to a worse state!
This is completely different from the Naruto world. Not only is there no goddess like Kaguya who stands above ordinary people, but the population base and the degree of social development are also two different concepts.
In a technological society with a population of 10 billion, creating a world of great harmony? Ji Xing's original form is more like it.
"I can't do it, and you can't do it either."
"Can't do it?" The ant king looked at Ji Xing, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Chatting, chatting? Owl Yapufu, who has been very excited since Ji Xing appeared, was surprised and even more uneasy.
No! King, don't listen to his instigation! Humans are just a kind of livestock that is a little different!
Meng Tutu Youpi beside him has already reacted to who Ji Xing is, but he is a little confused. In this case, should he protect the king or not?
For Xiaomai, a girl who only has military etiquette in her life, the conversation between the two seems lofty and profound, and she can't understand it at all.
It seems that it is also something that I shouldn't listen to?
So after finding that the surroundings were temporarily quiet, she sniffed the snot that was about to flow into her mouth, and raised her hand tremblingly: "Um... General, should I withdraw first?"
"Stay there and continue playing chess."
The ant king came out of his thinking state and said, "Let's start a new game."
As he spoke, he threw the introduction to military etiquette rules at his hand to Ji Xing and said: "Maybe you are right. I have just been born for four days and I don't have a thorough understanding of human beings. If it were anyone else, I would You might be willing to chat for a while longer, but you’d better forget it.
When I was in the Queen's belly, I felt your angry murderous intent, and you almost succeeded in preventing me from being born. The hostile relationship between us cannot be changed. You said you are a little tired and want to join in playing chess for leisure, so hurry up and study. You don't have much time. "
Pufu's eyes suddenly lit up.
Yes, king! This is the courage you should have, the king of mankind is far inferior to you!
The next moment, he saw Ji Xing, who had taken over the military etiquette rules, turned to look at him and said, "Are there any tissues? Bring me some."
The fear left over from that day has not gone away. Just by looking at each other, Pufu's face turned pale as a reflex reaction. When he saw the ant king, he quickly lowered his eyes and said with extreme shame: "King..."
"Give it to him."
"yes!"
Quickly getting a pack of tissues, Ji Xing took out two and handed them to Mai: "Wipe your nose."
"Huh?" Xiaomai was startled and hurriedly caught it: "Yes! You villain, I'm really rude, thank you! Um, who are you..."
"Call me Ji Xing."
"Ah, thank you Lord Ji Xing!"
The ant king on the opposite side paused slightly.
name? Yes, name...
"Humph--" The next moment, his thoughts were interrupted by the harsh sound of blowing his nose. The whole face of Xiaomai opposite him was wrinkled together with force, his appearance was particularly inelegant, and his big nose soaked the tissue.
Ji Xing smiled and took out two more pieces of paper.
"Thank you, thank you!" Mai said quickly.
Rolling the paper into a ball and placing it next to her legs, the girl wiped her skirt uneasily with her hand, then knelt down and said, "Commander-in-Chief, it's too rude for common people and common people. Um, please continue to give me some advice?"
Without the snot dragged out of his nose, Wheat seemed to be more pleasing to the eye. The Ant King's frown softened and he said: "Let's get started."
Military chess is a competitive chess game originated from the East Kota Republic. There is only one way to achieve victory, which is to capture the king with a general.
Different from ordinary chess, Junyi can arrange its own 12 types of chess pieces before the start, so it is ever-changing. It also allows up to three chess pieces to be superimposed together, so that both sides need to have a sense of spatial strategy. .
Easy to learn but hard to master.
While the Ant King and Xiaomai were having sex, Ji Xing quickly read through the rules of the military rituals and returned his gaze to the chessboard of the military rituals. After a few seconds, he glanced sideways at Xiaomai.
The girl's nose started to flow a little more, but the feeling it brought was completely different.
Her invisible eyes opened, and her pupils were filled with pure white and gray, which instantly changed her aura. It is a state of extreme concentration, allowing the world to only contain the game of chess in front of you, and it is still above the fourth state of static gong under one person, and the state is already at the level of an 'immortal'!
This little girl is amazing.
In Ji Xing's heart, a crackling sound fell on the chessboard. The ant king threw back the killed chess piece and said: "He's the general."
In fact, this is an admission of defeat.
"Hey~" Xiaomai immediately bent down to collect the chess pieces, and said with a very embarrassed expression, but his small face could not hide his pride: "The speed of learning by the commander-in-chief is really amazing. If you don't take the next game seriously, maybe you will lose it." I’m going to lose to you.”
The ant king looked calmly and looked at Ji Xing.
Ji Xing smiled: "Okay, let's change hands."
Pufu, who was always tense, watched with deep confusion as the Ant King and Ji Xing exchanged positions, allowing Ji Xing to sit across from Wheat.
Why is there such a scene?
Is it the realm of a king that I can’t understand?
No, even if the king has the state of my understanding, this human being cannot have it! !
The fear and panic in his heart grew uncontrollably, and what was broken by the birth of the Ant King came back when he faced Ji Xing.
He stared at the chessboard, his mood rising and falling with the sound of the moves.
The first game of chess went very quickly. Only a dozen moves after the formation was completed, Ji Xing surrendered.
"I don't feel comfortable playing it for the first time. Let me play two more games." He smiled at the Ant King.
"Practice three games with her, and then we'll play against each other." Ant King promised.
"Hey? Is this really your first time playing military honors? There were some very imaginative moves just now, and I almost couldn't find a suitable response." Maima raised her little face and said, "Also , Listening to your voice, I always feel that you are very tall.”
"My height is now 2.12 meters."
"Wow~ Our village, no, dozens of surrounding villages have never seen anyone as tall as you!"
"It's useless to grow taller. It's also a waste of food." Ji Xing smiled and said, "Okay, in the next game, you have to be a little more serious."
"How could it be... Master Ji Xing can talk to the commander-in-chief about things that ordinary people can't understand? He must be a very powerful person. Unlike ordinary people, if there is no military ceremony, it will be a waste of food."
Xiaomai placed the chess pieces, and after opening his eyes, he had that unusual aura again: "Then, please continue to teach me, Lord Ji Xing!"
"Continue to teach."
Ji Xing reported the positions of the chess pieces to Xiaomai one by one, and Xiaomai let out a soft sigh: "This formation is very defensive. It combines several chess pieces... It's really a bit tricky."
Speaking of being tricky, her speed in playing chess was not affected and she pushed out a chess piece.
"4-4-1, pawn."
"Newbies, of course, must defend and counterattack." Ji Xing said: "4-5-1, ride a horse."
"8-2-1, bow."
"9-1-1, Shinobi."
The sound of falling pieces continued, and it lasted longer than the previous game. In the blink of an eye, more than twenty moves of attack and defense were carried out. On the side of the chessboard, the ant king, who was supporting his raised knee with one hand, frowned slightly.
New to this?
As a spectator, he was also very focused, always looking at the chessboard, and more closely observing Ji Xing's side.
If it were him to play this game, he would probably only be able to get to this point. Every move Ji Xing made was close to the answer in his mind, but he had played with Wheat for eight hours before!
This guy... is only in his second game?
However, she was still not as good as this woman, and gradually entered a disadvantage. In the mid-term, she tried to counterattack and attack from the left, but was completely resolved by this woman's clever touches. Now she can walk...
"4-5-1, tube."
Yes, that’s it!
Have you reached a similar conclusion to me again?
So next...
"2-8-2, Zhai."
As the wheat twister fell, the Ant King's pupils suddenly shrank... This move? !
Several half-disabled chess pieces were fully activated in an instant. How many steps ago was this strategy planned? ! No more steps. It seems that both the 'King of Humanity' and me are still far behind this woman...
"3-7-1, Lieutenant General." Ji Xing did not stop for a moment and fell down.
Um? Still leaving? What does this mean, sending the chess piece into the enemy's position and giving it to the opponent for free? Why not just throw in the towel? !
The Ant King's expression turned slightly and he fell into thinking.
The next moment, he found that Xiaomai had not moved yet, and for the first time since the game, he entered the state of long examination!
Um? Is there anything I haven't thought of? !
"6-2-2, plan."
I really didn’t eat it!
Instead, let it pass? !
What's going on? Wang's mood has become very unstable. What did these two humans do? Xiao Yapfu, who had been paying attention, couldn't help but feel anxious, and looked at the two players in the game again.
I saw that Ji Xing still dropped the pieces as before, while Wheat often paused for about five seconds. The number of pieces on the chessboard decreased rapidly as the two of them placed pieces, and gradually there were only a few left.
No way, could it be that...
"Lost." Only then did Ji Xing let him breathe a sigh of relief. That was, Wang hadn't won the military honors world championship yet, how could he win?
"It's so dangerous, so dangerous~" Xiaomai wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and said: "Defense is for better offense. Master Ji Xing's desperate attack almost destroyed my layout, so I can only rely on exchanges. To win with those small advantages, are you really just playing the second game?”
She was not nervous, her little face was still full of expectation, she raised a finger and said: "Then let's play the third round, Lord Ji Xing!"
"Okay, but I've learned it completely, you have to be careful." Ji Xing said with a smile.
"Of course~ I will be very, very serious about this game!" Xiaomai said with his face raised.
The two rearranged the layout, and the ant king at the table seemed to be ignored. He did not interrupt, but only lowered his head, still thinking about the move just now.
With his extraordinary thinking ability, he seemed to construct hundreds of chessboards out of thin air in his brain, deducing hundreds of possible directions after that move, and verifying each one in his mind.
Until you see one of them!
‘Use losing pieces to destroy Wheat’s formation, and then use pawn thrusts to bring the chess game into very complex calculations, making the outcome unclear? Mai did not choose to fight hand to hand, but took a step back and switched from offense to defense. Although the situation became a bit ugly, he was still able to win steadily! ’
Neither was an accident.
The King of Humanity has been preparing for a chaotic fight from the beginning of the chess game. Could he have calculated further than me? !
The ant king suddenly looked at Ji Xing and realized that the third game of chess was coming to an end.
There were only a few chess pieces left on the chessboard. Ji Xing was stroking a chess piece with his hand. There were a few drops of sweat on the face of Xiaomai opposite him, and there was still a light layer of aura surrounding him.
Is this...an awakening of thoughts?
"We lost again." Ji Xing said.
"Oh~ I'm so sorry." Mai lost his temper, scratched his head, and his body became a little weak: "It may have been a draw, but I don't know why a wonderful move suddenly appeared in my head, like It's like cheating.
But Master Ji Xing is really powerful. If we play... two more games, I might lose to Master Ji Xing. "
"I'm the one who cheated." Ji Xing smiled and said, "And it's not that easy to win. Most of the games will be draws, and I'll win with physical strength."
"You should rest for a while. Thanks for your advice, I have completely mastered military etiquette." He handed Mai two more tissues and looked at the Ant King: "Shall we do it?"
The ant king was silent and his face was dark.
4k7, two updates tomorrow, probably.
