Chapter 142: Aftersound

"Sphinx."

Ye Kong's eyes froze, and a huge eagle head was reflected in his black eyes, which was the head of the Sphinx.

Sphinx (Grade: ??? ): Boss-level creature, portrait life, HP 100000/100000

"Kong-kun, I've packed up........ Wow?! ”

Hua Yin ran over, but was taken aback, and the next moment, she pulled out the knife and protected Ye Kong's side: "Kongjun, that monster is so big and the upper limit of blood is so high, is it the boss in the restaurant?" There are 100,000 HP ......."

"How do we deal with it?"

Obviously, Hua Yin treats the other party as a monster.

Except for the level information, the Sphinx is the same as the normal boss, so the reaction of the flower sound is also normal.

"It's okay, it's not a monster."

Ye Kong stopped Hua Yin and told her not to be impulsive: "You retreat first, I'll go negotiate with it." ”

Hua Yin nodded lightly and did so obediently, and at the same time, she also looked at Ye Kong with admiration - in Hua Yin's thoughts, Ye Kong's actions were to protect her, so she let her retreat and meet herself.

As everyone knows, Ye Kong's real motive is that he doesn't want to be disturbed by Huayin........

A subtle misunderstanding.

At this time, the Sphinx looked at Hua Yin and couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Woo, it's another brave adventurer, but the Sphinx's request is only allowed to be borne by one person - excuse me, who will bear it?" ”

"I'll take it, honorable Mr. Sphinx." Ye Kong took a step forward and took over this responsibility.

His words also made the Sphinx very useful:

"Well, I like polite young people." The Sphinx shook his head: "The Sphinx is not a monster, but a great prophet, young man, you are much more polite than your female companion, I really don't know, how did the two of you get together, could it be that in this era, you don't look at the connotation, only the appearance?" Oh, I forgot-"

"It's the Age of Glory, and it's not the Age of the New Gods anymore.........."

The words of the Sphinx made Huayin's face red, like a ripe red apple, making it impossible to distinguish whether she was blushing for the sake of 'politeness' or because of a certain title.

"Ahem.... Ahem! Mr. Sphinx, it's time to get down to business. ”

Ye Kong interrupted the other party, and the Sphinx also understood, and said seriously: "Young man, I am a soul lodged in the castle, since you have awakened me, you are qualified to listen to my request, but I have to test your wisdom." ”

"Whoever is not wise enough cannot carry out my request, or he will surely harm me."

"My test is simple, it's just a puzzle."

After speaking, the Sphinx straightened up and said with a serious expression: "Are you ready?" ”

System Hint: You have come into contact with the Sphinx and triggered the puzzle of the hidden side Sphinx.

Hidden branches, unlike complete plot events, have a shorter flow and only exist in special maps, such as the original Hundred Ghost Guild, which snatched Theseus' mission in the Minoan labyrinth - it is a hidden branch.

Usually, when players complete a hidden side quest, the reward is the NPC's assistance/gift, and this reward is definitely related to the 'current map', in other words, it can help players to tackle the current map.

"Mr. Sphinx, I'm ready."

Ye Kong nodded, indicating that the other party could start, and at the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "It's finally begun, the test about the Sphinx, a puzzle that has plagued a large number of players!" ”

In the previous life, the Sphinx was triggered by a member of the Batu Guild, and at that time, it was not only the Batu Guild that was present, but also the Red Maple Guild (the Hundred Ghost Guild went to another road), as well as a large number of small and medium-sized teams.

As a result, the whole restaurant was boiling, and the member of the Batu who triggered the mechanism first took the test of the Sphinx, but that member failed to answer the puzzle correctly, but was killed by the Sphinx - yes, on the spot!

If you answer the wrong question, you will be attacked by it!

The Sphinx smiled and began to tell: "My question is simple: there is an animal in the world, this animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening, and the more legs, the weaker the strength. ”

"Excuse me, what is that animal?"

Huayin next to her listened to the puzzle and was stunned for a moment: "What kind of animal is this?" Can the number of legs be more or less? ”

At the same moment, the Sphinx was also releasing 'kindness': "Young man, you still have 3 minutes to think, and if you answer incorrectly, I won't give you a second chance." ”

"You've got to think about it."

The strength of the Sphinx is extremely strong, with the current strength of Ye Kong and Hua Yin, let alone dealing with it, it is a problem to escape, however, Ye Kong does not need to escape - he remembers the correct answer.

In the previous life, the Sphinx only asked one question, and no matter who answered it, it was all the same question.

Back then, the players in the wax figure restaurant used the tactics of crowds, one by one to go up to die, everyone acted according to their 'luck', guessed correctly, they would be tender, and if they guessed wrong, they would go to work in the sea.........

It wasn't until later that a small group of young players guessed the question correctly, and the correct answer was-

"People!"

Ye Kong did not hesitate and said his answer: "Human life is like daytime: in the morning of life, human beings are newborn babies who need to crawl on all fours.

At noon of his life, when he was in his youth, he walked on two feet.

In the evening of his life, that is, in old age, he had to put a crutch to ensure that he did not fall, and that crutch became the third leg. ”

The voice did not fall,

Bang Bang Bang !!

Hua Yin applauded excitedly, and her little face turned red: "Kongjun, your answer is so incisive, it turns out that there are such puzzles and answers, it's really exciting!" ”

Rao is Ye Kong's cheekiness, and he also felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Stop, stop, the basic operation ........."

"Oh." Hua Yin stopped applauding and couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Sure enough, Kongjun is a modest person, and the kind of vulgar person who is full of rudeness is not the same thing at all. ”

meanwhile

"Good, you got my question right." The Sphinx lamented: "Since the death of my master Oedipus, no one has answered my question, and you are still the first. ”

"Pity my master, he committed the crime of killing his father and marrying his mother, hey, otherwise he would definitely become a god..........."

The Sphinx fell into a sigh, seeing this, a smile appeared on Ye Kong's face, and the next moment, the words of the Sphinx made his face change greatly-

"Now, that's my second question."

The Sphinx stretched out his upper body, and the cold light in the eagle's eyes brightened: "There is another animal in the world, this animal has two legs in the morning, four legs at noon, and three legs at night, may I ask-"

"What kind of animal is this?!"

Sphinx.......

There is even a second problem!!
