Chapter 694: The Aggrieved Sphinx
After getting the fried tail snail, Ivan didn't delay for a moment, and quickly passed through the hole that had just been blown up.
He knew that the explosion would definitely attract more monsters, and if he didn't want to get into an endless battle, he had to move fast!
Ivan made his way through the darkness, exploring the dimly lit labyrinth with only a few glows emanating from the tip of his wand.
Just as he felt himself slowly approaching the center of the labyrinth, an incomparably strange monster suddenly came into view, like a statue in front of him.
It looks like a frighteningly large lion, with a majestic body and terrifying claws, but what makes it strange is that its head looks like that of an intellectual witch.
"Sphinx!" Ivan muttered to himself.
This monster he had seen in the Book of Monsters of the Monsters was a magical creature that originated in ancient Egypt, where the sorcerers liked to use the Sphinx to guard some precious treasures, and he was also impressed by it when he read ancient Greek mythology in his previous life.
"Stop, young man!"
Before Ivan could get closer, the Sphinx stopped in the middle of the road, and a pair of long almond eyes stared at Ivan, and spoke in a hoarse and deep voice. "You need to answer my questions to move on!"
"Sorry, I'm in a hurry! Sphinx, can you give me a little bit? Ivan took his wand and asked.
"It's the rule! Only the warriors who guess correctly are qualified to move on! Otherwise, you can find another way to the end. The Sphinx looked up arrogantly and said.
Ignoring Ivan, the Sphinx cleared his throat and happily prepared to begin the guessing game.
It had been thinking about this riddle for days, and it was by no means so easy to guess......
"Confringo~"
Just as the Sphinx was about to speak, Ivan raised his wand first, and a scorching flame slowly floated out from the top of the wand, and then quickly expanded, turning into a large fireball with a diameter of two meters, surging towards the Sphinx with amazing power.
The scorching light of the fire took over its entire field of vision, blocking out the Sphinx's words.
Before it could react, the huge fireball flew over its head and crashed straight into the towering hedge behind it.
The flames rose into the sky, a huge roar echoed through the narrow passage, and the accompanying heat almost set its hair on fire, and the long almond eyes of the Sphinx stared at the boss, and he turned his head stiffly, to find that the hedge behind him had collapsed in half.
"Can I go over? Sphinx? Ivan put down his wand and asked again.
The Sphinx swallowed, shrank into the corner, and pointed to the road ahead with his paws. "Please, sir!"
"Thank you!" Ivan nodded in satisfaction, put away his wand and walked to the opening that had just been blown out.
It's just that when he passed by the Sphinx, the huge beast suddenly moved, and Ivan subconsciously thought that the Sphinx was trying to sneak attack him, so he pulled out his wand and pointed it as quickly as he could.
The Sphinx hurriedly bowed down, indicating that he was harmless to humans and animals, and said aggrievedly. "Sir, I just wanted to remind you that the answer to the question is spiders!"
Ivan looked at the sphinx in front of him speechlessly, it seems that the "Book of Monsters of the Monsters" is right, they really like to guess riddles.
But he didn't even know the content of the riddle, so what's the use of telling him the riddle?
Ivan shook his head, bothered to pay attention to the guy, and continued to walk forward.
After climbing over a collapsed hedge, Ivan finally saw the goal of his trip, and the trophy of the Triple-finals, which represented the eventual victory, was placed on a large one-meter-high pedestal.
Ivan cautiously approached the base, his nerves tense to the extreme, ready for anything unusual, and gently tapped his wand on the trophy after approaching.
The magic invaded the mouth of the cup, and slowly the entire trophy lit up.
"Very good, it's a real trophy, no one has tampered with it!" After Ivan probed with his detection magic, he finally relented and picked up the trophy.
……
At the same time, Harry, who was the second to act, also stepped into this huge labyrinth with a sharp whistle.
Entering this place is like entering another dimension, and the noise and noise outside disappear without a trace, replaced by one loud roar after another.
Harry, of course, knew that Ivan was responsible for the noises, so he simply followed the direction in which the sound was transmitted.
However, Harry soon regretted his reckless decision, and after only two or three hundred metres he was attacked four times.
One of the most difficult to deal with was the snail that Hagrid had cultivated, and the hard shell with spikes on its back was extremely stiff, and he couldn't break through the opponent's defenses after casting several splitting spells in a row, and finally accidentally hit the soft belly of the snail to solve it.
So a few minutes after entering, Harry was already disgraced, this maze was even more dangerous than he thought, if it weren't for the fact that his magic skills had improved greatly under these months of training, I am afraid that he would have been forced to give up the game and apply for off-field support.
Harry ran forward panting, and as he crossed the corner of an aisle, he suddenly felt the ground shake.
Was there an earthquake?
Harry was confused, and just as he was a little confused, he saw Ivan's figure appear on the other side of the passage.
"Ivan!"
Harry greeted happily, knowing he didn't have to stay in this treacherous labyrinth.
Ivan on the other side naturally saw Harry as well, but he didn't mean to say hello at all, and shouted loudly with a solemn expression.
"Run back, Harry!"
Harry paused as he walked forward, and then he saw several crab legs more than two meters long sticking out from the end of the passage, followed by hard carapace and huge body.
That's fried tail snails!
And it's a bunch of fried tail snails!
Seeing this scene, Harry's scalp was numb, how many of these monster Hagrid did he raise?
What made him even more frightened was that in addition to the fried tail snails, there were also giant spiders, red hats, and some strange and unrecognizable magical creatures.
Harry couldn't help but wonder if Ivan had lured the entire labyrinth of monsters!
But it was clearly not the time to think about it, and without waiting for Ivan to remind him a second time, Harry hurriedly turned around and ran......
It's just that compared to their running speed, the monsters move a little faster......
