A chessboard?
Mo Fan immediately looked around as far as he could see.
The huge tiles did resemble a chessboard laid into the ground.
If it is a chessboard, where are the pieces?
An eerie red light shone down on Mo Fan and Asha'ruiya while he was confused.
Mo Fan exchanged glances with Asha'ruiya. Asha'ruiya seemed to know what Mo Fan was going to ask. She announced with a grim smile, "We...we are the pieces!"

"This is the Chessboard of Slaughter. I now understand why we are not allowed to move backward." Asha'ruiya's face remained pale.
"What does it have anything to do with the chessboard?" Mo Fan asked her.
"Pawns, knights, bishops, rooks, queen, and king. These are the pieces in a game of chess. Pawns are like soldiers in your Chinese chess. I'm pretty sure you are aware of their movements," Asha'ruiya told him.
Mo Fan nodded.
Soldiers were the pieces that could only move forward in Chinese chess!
