Chapter 389: The Sphinx Puzzle

Soon Levi followed the guidance of the battle sacrifice Kodia and went to find their captain Reinhardt, but the target was not found, but Levi encountered some fleeing guys on the way.

It was probably less than twenty harbingers fleeing in front, four or five times the goblins riding eight-clawed spiders chasing behind, the harbingers slowed down their horses from time to time, and then raised their weapons to shoot at the spider cavalry behind.

Even on the back of a bumpy horse, the pioneer horsemen showed a pretty good hit rate, and with the roar of the muskets, the four or five spiders in front were beaten into a sieve along with the goblins on their backs, and then they drove their horses again, regaining distance, ready for the next chance to attack, and they were flying kites with their speed advantage!

Livingston was interested. Kite flying is a tactic that may seem simple, but it's not easy to put into practice, especially for the indigenous people.

Before that, the most well-known of the natives was probably the Wood Elves, because they had a lot of stat bonuses in the forest, especially in terms of movement speed and hit rate, so they could play like this, but that often required a leading command.

However, Levi did not find any units that were suspected to be commanders among these pioneer attendants, so it is very likely that these pioneer attendants had received targeted professional training before, so they were able to be so proficient in the series of processes of slowing down, aiming, attacking, and re-accelerating, which was very likely to be the result of the training of the commander of the Reinhardt!

"It's kind of interesting, but I don't have to work so hard for you now, Huameis, lead the charge, go and kill those spider cavalry, I'll ask these pioneer squires where their boss is."

"Okay, leave it to me, Levi!"

Hua Meisi immediately responded very cheerfully, and then led nearly half of the cavalry to launch a surprise attack. If anyone is in a good mood lately, then she must be one of them, because since Levi's frequent participation in the charge, all the command tasks that originally belonged to her have been taken over by Levi, and she finally doesn't have to worry so much anymore!

When the pioneer horsemen saw Levi and the others who took the initiative to meet them, although they still maintained a certain degree of vigilance, they did not have any obvious hostility.

There is no way, there are too many evil and powerful alien races in this world, in contrast, human beings do not have obvious advantages in many fields except in terms of population, so this forces human beings to give up infighting, and instead unite and fight hard for survival.

Therefore, when they see other humans in the wild, even if they don't know the forces they belong to, they often have a certain amount of goodwill towards each other, and it is better to come to humans than to come to beastmen, undead, or greenskins or something.

Of course, the Norscar pirates weren't among them. Worshipping the Chaos Evil God and robbing everywhere, they have already become enemies of all races in the entire Old World, whether it is humans or greenskins, they will never show mercy when they encounter them.

The only possible exception is probably the dark elves, because the dark elves themselves are not productive, they need to capture a large number of other races as slaves, but because of the cruel nature of the dark elves and the heavy tasks they assign, those slaves rarely live too long, which is also the reason why the dark elves capture slaves every day, because for them, slaves are a consumable and never enough.

Levi quickly identified himself and mentioned the name of the battle sacrifice Kodia, gaining the trust of the pioneers, and then he also learned from them that their captain Reinhardt was alone in a valley not far away, with Snagra Poison and the two giant spiders, and they were under the orders of their commander, trying to destroy these spider cavalry through mobile warfare, and then they could go back to help their commander.

Levi couldn't help but be a little stunned when he heard this, "One person picks two big spiders? Do you want to be so fierce? How long will it take for you to kill all these spider cavalry? ”

After all, that kind of big spider is a giant monster of the 6th order, and its strength is extremely powerful, and even among all the people Levi currently knows, I am afraid that there are only a few people such as the Black Lady and the Beast Butcher, and the rest of Arthur Knight, Viscount Renard or something, I am afraid that they will not be able to catch it.

And one person challenges two big spiders, this Captain Reinhardt is at least a legendary figure at least a level, even if he is not as good as the Black Lady, right? But why had he never heard of it before? Or is that guy really just trying to be strong?

Despite his doubts, Wallace was still fighting there, and Levi did not want to be here alone, so he joined the battle with the rest of the cavalry and the war fortress, and the pioneer horsemen did not hesitate to choose to follow, and seemed to be very loyal to their commander.

Under the crushing of strength, more than a hundred spider cavalry were killed in the blink of an eye, and Levi began to march directly in the direction of the valley.

A few hundred meters away, Levi heard a strange roar constantly coming from the valley, and at the same time, when he got closer, the ground could feel a slight vibration, it seemed that a vicious battle was taking place in the valley, and both sides of the battle had a large size and considerable strength, otherwise there would be no such movement.

The pioneer attendants behind him exclaimed in surprise, obviously worried about their boss, but Levi was a little relieved, because there was a battle, which proved that the regiment commander was not dead, he was really powerful enough, he was really able to hold on for so long under the hands of two sixth-order spiders, plus a goblin hero!

But when Levi and his troops broke into the valley, what he saw was different from what he had imagined.

There were indeed two Rank 6 Araknari Giant Spiders there, and they were indeed fighting, but their opponent was not a human, but a Sphinx that was even bigger than the Araknari Giant Spider, more than ten meters from head to tail, and looked completely composed of hard stones!

At this moment, the sphinx is fighting one against two, and it seems to have the upper hand, the two big spiders are covered with wounds, and there are many places on the ground that are sprinkled with pale green liquid, many places are corroded by their body fluids, obviously they are not less at a loss, but the sphinx's rock-like body only has a few slight cracks in a few unimportant parts, and it is obviously not much injured at all.

Judging by what it did, it must have been the back hand left by the head of Reinhardt!

The Sphinx shook its huge claws of several square meters to repel the two large spiders, and then tilted its head rather anthropomorphically to look in the direction of Levi and the others, "Oh, there's a new human again, and it looks like some special little guys." Little one, it looks like you're their leader, so would you like to play a game with the Sphinx? ”

With the words of the giant sphinx who called himself the Sphinx, Levi found himself also popping up a taskbar in front of him: "Do you want to participate in the Sphinx's puzzle mission?" ”

"Note: If you successfully answer the Sphinx's puzzle, you will be rewarded handsomely, but if you answer incorrectly, or if you refuse to participate, the Sphinx will be enraged by the contempt, and all other creatures present will have to bear the flames of its wrath, except for those who have already answered its puzzle correctly."

At the same time, there is a 15-second countdown next to it, which seems to urge him to make a choice as soon as possible.

"I'll go!"

Even if he is as calm as Levi, he has the urge to roll his eyes for a while, it is the first time he has encountered such an unreasonable task, looking at the above meaning, whether it is a failure of the mission, or refusal to accept this task, the sphinx in front of him will become his enemy.

If you add the two Rank 6 big spiders next to you, and Snagra Poison Saliva who doesn't know where to hide, how many enemies do you have to deal with at the same time? You didn't even give me the right to choose!

And that 15-second countdown seems to remind Levi that if he doesn't choose well, maybe he will only be able to live for another 15 seconds.

But soon Levi found that after the Sphinx finished speaking, the two big spiders did not move at all, they did not attack the Sphinx again, nor did they turn around to attack themselves as new humans, and there was not even any change in posture, it looked like they had been cast a magic that stopped time, and the origin of this Sphinx may be even more amazing than imagined!

Levi immediately chose to accept the assignment.

With his movements, there seemed to be a smile on the rocky face of the Sphinx, and it pulled the two big spiders aside like a toy, and then stretched out like a house cat, and then the two forearms were folded together, and the huge head was directly put on it, and the big eyes with a diameter of more than half a meter looked at Levi so fixedly.

"Very good, I didn't expect that after such a long period of hibernation, I met two little guys in a row who dared to play games with me, and they were all humans, it seems that the current human beings are much more daring than before."

Before Levi could figure out what the other party meant by all this, the Sphinx was already a little impatient to ask, "So little guy, now the game begins." ”

"Ask, what creature sleeps standing in iron shoes?"

???

Leviston looked confused.

After doing it for a long time, my heart beat faster by several beats, and as a result, you can only ask this level of questions? This question is difficult even for Nima elementary school students, right?!

The Sphinx didn't know Levi's inner activities at all, it just looked at the little man in front of him with a dull face, it seemed that although he didn't know how many years he had slept, his puzzle was also so unsolvable for these little guys, it was really me!

The little guy just now must have just been lucky, and he wanted to move his muscles and bones for the sake of her awakening herself, so she agreed to the other party's request and cleaned up these two little spiders!

While the Sphinx was self-absorbing, it suddenly heard the villain in front of it speak.

"It's a horse that nails a horse's hooves and falls."

"Huh?"

Even if it is a body made of Sphinx rocks, Levi and the others can clearly see that the big eyes of the Sphinx are round, and now the diameter is more than a meter, obviously it is in a state of shock.

The Sphinx couldn't help but mutter, "How is that possible? Are all humans so smart now? ”

It's just that based on its size, its muttering is louder than the roar of the dwarves for Levi and the others, so Levi immediately has a score, and this Sphinx is estimated to have lost to Captain Reinhardt, so he is willing to deal with the two giant spiders.

It's just that looking at the big spider that has returned to normal, but has obediently stayed aside until now, and has not had the slightest intention of attacking him, Levi has some new doubts for a while, this power, this deterrent power, I'm afraid that the black lady and the beast butcher don't have it combined, right? The other party was just playing there, right?

Speaking of which, the Sphinx has a lot of identities in the real world, but there is also a speculation that the other party is the patron saint of the Egyptian pyramids and temples, and if the other party has a similar status here, it seems that he can do something like that, patron saint, patron saint, but there is a "god" word in it...

Levi's brain was spinning rapidly, and the Sphinx on the other side slowly recovered, and it held its head high and said, "Very good, little guy, I just wanted to see your level, so I deliberately picked a simple puzzle for you, so now are you willing to continue our game?" ”

The system's prompt popped up again, and Levi glanced at it and found that there was not much difference from just now, but the word "more" was added in front of the rich reward, which seemed to encourage Levi to agree, and the other party increased the reward.

But Levi thought that this was completely superfluous, because after seeing the true power of the other party against the two big spiders, he knew that he probably did not have any right to refuse.

However,If the other party can only come up with a puzzle of that level.,Even if there are thirty or fifty,,I'm afraid there's no threat to yourself.,I hope the other party won't be angry in the end.。。。

"I accept."

"Haha, very good, I like smart and brave humans like you, although I don't know how long I slept, but no matter what era it is, there are not many humans like you anymore."

It seems that because Levi accepted to continue the game, the Sphinx seemed particularly excited, and it no longer called Levi "little guy", but began to call his race, which is somewhat of a small improvement.

"Well, then listen, human, my second question is, you cut my head with a knife, and you weep when I die, so what am I?"

Heh, Levi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, he shouldn't have expectations for the other party, this thing is really not difficult, if the other party can only solve puzzles of this level, then he can answer until tomorrow!

But after all, it was the other party's fist that was big now, and in order to take care of the face of the Sphinx a little, Levi deliberately made a painstaking meditation appearance, and then when the other party reminded him to answer as soon as possible, he suddenly said the answer.

"I thought of it, it's an onion, it must be an onion!"

"Huh?" The Sphinx, who originally thought that the victory was in hand, was suddenly stunned, and even it was a little suspicious of itself for a while, could it be that its own puzzle was too outdated?

But the Sphinx immediately shook his stone head quickly, no, it must be that the human on the other side is too lucky, he just thought about it for so long before he happened to think of the answer, he wants to give the other party a time limit this time!

After figuring it out, the Sphinx regained some of its morale slightly, and it spoke again, "Very good, human, I see in you courage, wisdom, and luck, maybe you would like to play with me one last time?" ”

Another system prompt popped up, this time there was still not much change, but the more generous just now was replaced by very rich, but Levi still did not have the right to refuse.

And even if there is no mission prompt, Levi knows that if he rejects the other party after winning two games in a row, he will definitely die a very miserable death!

"I accept."

"Okay, human, now comes my third question."

The Sphinx no longer pillowed his head on his forearm, but straightened his body and said very seriously:

"The people who invented it didn't want it,??

The person who bought it doesn't need it,??

People who need it don't know it.

So what is it? ”

"I'm going to add one more condition this time, I'll only give you 300 seconds to think." The Sphinx then added, and was a little proud of his new idea, sure enough, it really deserves to be me, and when I meet other little guys in the future, I should attach this condition!

Levi sighed secretly, sure enough, he really shouldn't have any expectations for the puzzle of the Sphinx, although it seems that the difficulty has increased a little, but at most it has been improved from the third grade of elementary school to the fourth grade, and it is still 300 seconds, 30 seconds I am a waste of time!

?? However, in order to take care of the other party's face, Levi still pretended to think for more than two hundred seconds before answering the other party: "It's a coffin." ”

Levi originally thought that after he finished speaking, the other party would shout, saying that it was incredible or something, but he didn't expect the Sphinx to not move for a while, but seemed to be in a daze there.

Just when Levi was worried that the other party would be angry, and secretly gestured to the back, signaling his subordinates to prepare for battle, the Sphinx suddenly spoke.

"Maybe I'm wrong, it's not that there's a problem with my puzzle, it's that your wisdom surpasses mine, just like the little guy I've ever encountered, Sigma, who, of course, is still a human. Ah, it's far away," the Sphinx seemed to wake up to something, and quickly began to change the subject, "Human, I am the patron saint of the pyramids and temples of Nehekhara, the god of riddles - the Sphinx, please tell me your name." ”

Even if he had already guessed, but at this moment, Levi couldn't help but be a little excited, although it didn't seem to be at all on the surface, but the other party was a god after all!

"Hello, I'm a knight of the kingdom from Bretonnia, the Chosen Hero Levi." Levi touched his chest with one hand and saluted, the other party was a god anyway, and he couldn't lose anything by saluting.

"Levi of Bretonnia, yes? That woman's territory? The Sphinx seemed to wrinkle his face, but finally nodded, "Very well, I've made a note of the name." But I have a request now, and you asked three puzzles, so can you give me a puzzle? ”

This time, there was no system prompt.,It's not a task.,But Levi didn't take it lightly.,Because the other party is obviously not convinced.。。。

"It's not impossible, it's just that the puzzles that are circulating in my hometown may not be the kind you like."

"Oh, that's okay, just to expand my thinking." The Sphinx was slightly interested.

Levi smiled slightly, and then said his own puzzle.

"Why does a newborn child have no eyes, no nose, and no ears for a healthy couple?"

The Sphinx was visibly interested, and it asked with great interest, "Is it a descendant of the Silt Elemental?" Or is it an abyssal mimic? ”

Without waiting for Levi to answer, it continued to deny itself, "No, no, they have some noses, otherwise they can't breathe at all, so could it be the people of the Light?" ”

The Sphinx said several names in quick succession that Levi had never heard of at all, but it quickly denied itself, which made Levi slightly relieved, because he didn't know what the other party was talking about, and he had just overlooked a key point, that is, his puzzle based on real-world rules, which probably didn't work very well here!

However, the Sphinx seemed to be a very honest god, and after asking several questions, it quickly stopped talking, because in the game of guessing puzzles, the answer can often only be said once, and in the excitement it has completely broken this rule.

"I'm sorry, Levi, I'm a little overexcited, but I want you to tell me the answer."

"Well, there are many answers, but probably because the puzzles that circulate in our hometown may not be the same as what you know. If the hen lays eggs, it will not have a nose or something. In the same way, snakes and everything are the same. ”

The Sphinx was stunned for a moment, and then it couldn't help but laugh, "Levi, very well, I should thank you for allowing me to discover such an interesting puzzle when I just woke up!" I'm going to rethink some new puzzles, and I think 300 seconds might be too long, so I should change it to 30 seconds. So, see you again for a chance! ”

With a loud "boom", the entire body of the Sphinx collapsed from the inside, and a large number of boulders flew out, directly burying the two big spiders that had been standing still next to them, while Levi and them were unharmed, and at the same time, several rays of light also flashed out of the Sphinx's body.

A ray of light like a red sun paused in mid-air, then went straight to the southeast, disappearing from everyone's sight in an instant, and several rays of light fell from mid-air, directly into Levi's arms like life.

Then a series of system prompts sounded, but Levi didn't have time to take a closer look, because the rubble after the Sphinx's body broke apart buried most of the parts of the two large spiders, but only the two deadliest parts of their forehead and abdomen were left, which was obviously an extra reward given by the Sphinx!

Levi immediately became slightly excited, "Cannon ready!" Kill these two big spiders for me! ”
