Eight hundred and sixtieth chapters out of the labyrinth
"Okay OK..."
Although his expression was very shocked, Sphinx still strictly abides by his own settings.
So when Ronald gave the correct answer, he quickly corrected his posture and then spoke with a dignified and beautiful expression:
"Adventurer, congratulations on answering my question correctly."
"Then now as a compliment to answer two questions correctly at a time, you can choose - or, now I will give you a reward through Q&A. Or you can also let me provide you with some small things, as the rules allow
help."
"How do you plan to choose, adventurer?"
“…”
When Ronald heard the rewards provided by Sphinx, he immediately had an idea:
"I choose the latter and I need you to do my best."
"Speaking."
"You should know that there are a lot of evil pursuers behind us, chasing us both. So I hope you can ask them very difficult questions and help us get as much time as possible."
Sphinx was so happy when he heard Ronald's request.
The monster guarding the maze did not ask any additional conditions and nodded directly to promise Ronald's request:
“A very good offer!”
"Adventurer, you can trust me."
"Those guys who are chasing you will never be able to pass my obstacles in a short time!"
“…”
"roar--"
Things happened very coincidental.
Just as Sphinx finished speaking, Ronald heard the sound of claws running on the ground and the roar of monsters behind him.
Turn around and take a look.
It was Shirakawa's predator who rushed out from the corner of the maze at this moment.
Even in the cartoon world built in "Maze Picture Book", these guys' terrifying looks can still be seen.
The ferocious appearance of limbs crawling on the ground, the white skin was covered with terrifying spikes, and the big mouth covered with fangs could not even be closed normally.
I saw such a predator-eating individual.
Ronald had no doubts - if it were in reality, ordinary people would probably have to end up being eaten alive.
“…”
"Nicole, let's go!"
Seeing the other party chasing him with a ferocious look, Ronald grabbed Nicole's thick hand and almost dragged the investigator girl to cross the position where Sphinx was sitting upright.
During the whole process, Sphinx smiled and watched the two pass, then turned to look at the predatory individual who had just arrived:
"Little guys, wait a minute."
"I have a puzzle challenge here. Do you want to try it?"
Behind Ronald and Nicole, Sphinx naturally obeyed the rules and blocked Shirakawa's predation individual.
However, things were a bit unexpected.
These terrifying guys do not have the higher intelligence of communicating with people. When facing Sphinx's obstacles, they roared and rushed towards the guy in front of them like real beasts.
"presumptuous!"
For these guys who dared to challenge their own rules, Sphinx roared and rushed forward in a synchronous manner as a lion's lower body.
There is no suspense about the encounter between the two sides.
The first batch of predatory individuals who were chasing over were strangled by this terrifying monster in the blink of an eye.
Scroll--
Soon, the dense sound of bones and flesh breaks sounded.
In just a moment, there was only a pool of wreckage left at Sphinx's feet, and there were no living creatures left.
After completing this suspenseless massacre in a few seconds.
Sphinx slowly returned to his original position, then sat down dignifiedly, and turned his head to smile gently at Ronald who saw this scene.
“…”
Although this guy didn't speak, Ronald also understood what it meant.
——Adventurer, am I doing a good job?
“…”
Ronald nodded to the other party quite politely before dragging Nicole to continue running towards the depths of the maze.
Maintaining this state, the two of them went a long way.
After being dragged in the air by Ronald for a while, Nicole woke up suddenly:
"Ronald, what was the problem just now!"
"I don't understand your conversation at all?"
Ronald immediately explained to Nicole:
"The one just now was Sphinx. It was originally a monster who blocked passers-by and killed people with riddles in myths."
"As for its riddles, there are actually two, one is - what is the animal, walking on four legs in the morning, walking on two legs at noon, and walking on three legs at night. The answer is naturally human, because this riddle implies a human's childhood.
Middle and old.”
"The second riddle - there is a pair of sisters, the sister gave birth to a sister, and the sister gave birth to a sister. The answer is actually to suggest the pattern of day and night change between day and night."
Nicole then suddenly realized.
"I understand, this riddle is good!"
"Next time I get together with people in the bureau, I can use this question to test them."
Ronald looked back at Nicole.
The investigator girl now looked calm and didn't seem to care about the urgent scene just now.
Facing this guy's carefree appearance.
Ronald suddenly had some thoughts, so he continued to speak:
"And there is another point. Although this guy has a very beautiful face, he is actually a male."
"Ha? It's a man!" Nicole opened her eyes as expected and asked in disbelief. "How is it possible? It's so beautiful!"
Ronald continued to explain:
"Because after all, Sphinx is a monster."
"If we cannot answer its question correctly, the consequences of those predating individuals just now will also come to us, and the appearance is just something it uses to hide its viciousness."
“…”
Ronald told the truth.
Nicole's interest that had just been raised immediately disappeared.
Afterwards, walking in the maze guarded by Sphinx, the two continued to crack the maze and trek towards the south.
As it turns out.
Sphinx is very effective in blocking individuals with predation.
It took Nicole and Ronald a whole day to finally walk out of this incredibly large maze. During this period, they had no additional disturbance, even the predatory individuals chasing them.
Didn't hear it either.
The two of them breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the exit of the frost maze.
And at this last moment.
Nicole looked back at the view behind her with some emotion:
"Ronard, I don't think I want to walk into this maze again in my life."
“…”
Nicole said this with some emotion, but there was silence around her.
She couldn't wait for Ronald's response
When the investigator girl realized something and turned her gaze forward, she realized what the two of them were facing now again.
Because right in front of them.
A sea water several kilometers wide blocked the two of them.
What's even more terrible is that when the two tried to swim or not, they found that the edge of the sea was protected by the rules of the game "Labyrinth Picture Book".
Just walking on the edge of the water, they could not continue.
