After waiting patiently for a while, the Sphinx sighed and said, "Please leave."
Allen took two steps back in frustration and stood at the end of the line.
"I mean, leave." Sphinx was not satisfied with this, "Leave!"
Allen's expression changed, "But you said we have no way out..."
"I also said, you can try it." The muscles in the Sphinx's arms bulged, his face became gloomy, and a dangerous light flashed in his eyes.
Seeing her reaction, Alyosha put his hand on his rifle and glanced at Tom, but Tom shook his head at him, indicating that he should not act rashly. So Alyosha relaxed again.
This little move could not be hidden from the eyes of the Sphinx, but she did not pay attention to the weapon in Alyosha's hand. She wagged her tail, and the muzzle of Alyosha's gun turned into a twist shape.
Seeing this scene, Alyosha's expression suddenly changed. Only then did he realize that the sphinx in front of him was no ordinary lion with a human head.
Forced by the Sphinx, Allen could only walk step by step towards the corridor he came from. His legs were trembling all the time, and he always felt that turning back was not the right decision.
He looked at Tom with almost pleading eyes, but Tom didn't seem to see anything. He looked at Hermione again - after the scene where the gun muzzle turned into a twist just happened, he knew very well that there were only Tom and Hermione here.
Only two wizards can save themselves.
Hermione was kind-hearted and wanted to plead for Ellen, but before she could speak, Tom stretched out an arm and wrapped it around her waist. He hugged her and pinched the soft part of her waist.
Tell her not to talk nonsense.
When Allen saw this, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes. He walked to the edge of the platform with a sullen face, took a deep breath, and walked into the corridor.
He walked forward, but nothing happened. So he walked faster and faster, and the small door he came in from appeared in front of him. He ran excitedly, and the small door turned into a spot of light that became bigger and bigger.
, and finally he rushed out of the door and came to the outside of the pyramid.
"Ha...ha! Who said there is no turning back!" He was very excited, breathing heavily, and was extremely excited about his escape. "What the hell, man, I won't wait for you--"
His words were stuck in his throat: Only now did he realize that the scenery outside was completely different from before he came in!
He was actually on a big construction site that was in full swing!
Countless people with dark skin, naked or wearing only a pair of shorts around their lower bodies dragged a huge piece of granite past him. A dog-headed man with a dog's head on the side and bulging muscles in his upper body was using the oil-soaked whip hard.
Beat them hard.
The kobold noticed Allen's presence, walked up to him and said a few words in the same language as the Sphinx. Then several slaves in robes came over, held Allen down, stripped him naked, and threw him away.
Joined the team transporting stones.
Allen struggled hard, but could not change his fate. After being thrown into the team, he tried to resist, and the kobold's whip fell mercilessly on his back. Allen only felt a blast from his back that could pierce his soul.
The severe pain, a whip mark immediately swelled up on the back, the burning pain...
Tom and the others watched Allen step onto the corridor, take two steps and then stand there motionless. After a while, a gust of cool wind passed through, and Allen fell straight down, his body moving along the corridor.
Get out.
Everyone was shocked.
"His soul will serve the great gods forever until it dissipates, and his body will become the nourishment here." Sphinx's calm voice made everyone else tremble.
Dr. Hunter was in tears.
The Sphinx's eyes moved to Tom and Hermione, and she said with gentle words of relief: "Don't worry, you are priests, and your work is different from that of slaves. You will enjoy yourself in the eternal paradise with the sons of God."
.”
Tom smiled bitterly, he didn't expect wizards to be given preferential treatment.
"It's your turn," the Sphinx looked at the old man Jushad, "it's still the same question, tell me the answer."
The old man from Jushad whispered: "Lantern."
Darkness under the lamp is precisely because of the light and the loss of light.
The Sphinx smiled kindly. She stood up, straightened her front legs, and made way for the old man.
The old man Yoshadus walked quietly to the end of the platform and waited for the others there.
After the old man was Tom, and the Sphinx blocked the way again, giving Tom a brand new puzzle. Tom's body tensed slightly, and he felt a little nervous.
"I am the black son of a white father; I am a wingless bird that can fly straight up to the clouds. When I was born, everyone who came into contact with me cried; once I am born, I will soon disappear into the air."
This time the puzzle was much longer. After listening to the puzzle, Tom exhaled a long breath: He knows this puzzle!
"cigarette."
"Exactly."
Tom also passed the test.
He also came to the opposite side of the platform and gave Hermione an encouraging look.
The Sphinx sat cross-legged in front of Hermione, "You said my name without saying it, and you must say it. But if you can say my name with words, it will be a miracle."
She looked at Hermione with a smile. Hermione actually stood there without saying a word.
After a while, Sphinx showed a satisfied smile, "What a beautiful answer, smart girl. Silence is the best answer, isn't it?" She made way for Hermione.
When Hermione passed the test, Tom put his heart in his throat back into his stomach.
Although his mood was already breaking down, Dr. Hunter, who was behind Hermione, still relied on sufficient knowledge to easily pass the test. Now only Sara and Alyosha are left.
"Which organ in the human body will expand ten times in size under what circumstances?"
Hearing this question, Hermione's face turned slightly red.
Alyosha smiled. He didn't expect the question to be so simple, so he confidently spoke a word.
The Sphinx also smiled and said, "Wrong answer." She bit off half of Alyosha's body and chewed hard, causing blood and various juices to splash everywhere.
Sarah, who was standing next to Alyosha, was frightened.
The Sphinx enjoyed it for a while before remembering that there was another person who had not participated in the test. She looked at Sarah, blood flowing down the corners of her mouth.
"Tell me your answer," she licked the corners of her scarlet mouth, looking extremely excited.
"Pupillary, under strong stimulation." Sara answered her question tremblingly. Sphinx roared angrily, looking extremely disappointed, but could only make way for Sara.
