When Xing Tianyu walked into the living room, he found that Xiao Zhen and Ning Wenrui were already there. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The ritual of summoning the Sphinx was about to begin, and both of them looked a little excited, but more nervous and uneasy.

Different from the previous summons full of interest, the three of them at this moment, after experiencing Qin Ming's petrification and Ning Wenrui's injury, have clearly realized the danger and uncertainty of the summoning ceremony.

It can be said that when Xing Tianyu picked up the Book of the Atlas and the sacrifices and prepared to go to the basement to hold the summoning ceremony, the atmosphere in the entire living room became solemn.

"How's everyone's prepared?"

"I'm fine!" Xiao Zhen waved the long sword in his hand, this sword had been carefully polished by him, the snowy blade flashed with cold light, this is a one-handed slashing sword, the sword body is straight, but the blade is slightly arc-shaped, very suitable for chopping, it can also be used for assassination, and on one hand, it holds a round shield made of stainless steel.

He also wore a cuirass on his body, which made him look like an ancient warrior.

IN ADDITION, HE WAS CARRYING A BACKPACK WITH HIS IPAD IN IT.

And Ning Wenrui didn't look so reliable, although his injuries were healed, his face was still pale, and he didn't know if he was nervous or what's wrong, his weapon was still the katana.

Xing Tianyu said, "I did some rehearsals in the nightmare space last night, the best way to deal with the Sphinx is to use a spear, if the three of us can form a spear array, we should be able to kill each other relatively safely, of course, provided that the Sphinx doesn't have any special abilities such as magic." ”

Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen glanced at each other and nodded, "Yes, I can also use the spear." Xiao Zhen said, he patted Ning Wenrui's shoulder comfortingly, "Come on, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided." ”

The three of them took what they had prepared and went outside to the basement.

In the summoning hall, the three of them put their weapons beside them, in addition to each person's own weapon, each of them also had a steel spear and a hunting crossbow.

When everything was ready, Xing Tianyu put the world encyclopedia used as a sacrifice in the sacrificial circle.

"Who's going to summon this time?" Xing Tianyu asked, every summoning ceremony before had its own needs and goals, and the summoners were all naturally generated, but this time it was a little different, asking questions This kind of thing is dangerous and not beneficial, and if you can't answer it when the time comes, you will be eaten.

Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, "I'll come." ”

Xing Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, "No, it's better for me to come, you are the main force of the battle, if you start fighting, you must strike as soon as possible." ”

Xiao Zhen thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay then." ”

Ning Wenrui was always silent, watching the conversation between the two, and did not mean to take the initiative to ask for help.

Xing Tianyu could feel Ning Wenrui's fear, although the bite that was bitten by the snake demon yesterday was not high, but it scared him, he didn't ask the other party, and directly stood in the position of the summoner with the Book of Otherworlds.

First, he recited the Enlightenment Spell, and then began to recite the spell that summoned the Sphinx.

[A wise being from Atlantis.] 】

[The body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, the face of a human, and the strange shape of an ancient creature.] 】

[I dedicate myself to you with knowledge, I consult with you with questions, and I give you books as gifts. 】

[In the name of the contract you signed with our people and in ancient times.] 】

[I call you to this world. 】

A vague will, a faint response emanated in the minds of the three of them.

In the middle of the summoning circle, a golden point of light appeared, and then turned into a crack, the crack stretched to both sides, and in the blink of an eye, it became more than a meter long, and a ball of light emerged from the crack, and I could faintly feel that something was about to come out of the crack.

However, the rift was too small, the ball of light was stuck in the position of the rift, but it did not drill out, the rift suddenly began to grow, and the boundary of time and space was further torn apart, and at the same time, the stinging feeling at the beginning was once again produced in Xing Tianyu's mind, and it was even more obvious.

Xing Tianyu looked at Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen, both of them also showed painful expressions, it was obvious that the three of them were running this summoning ritual, and the power of this Sphinx was obviously stronger than the otherworldly creatures that had been summoned several times before, so it was somewhat reluctant,

But fortunately, the golden ball of light finally squeezed out of the rift, the sting disappeared, the ball of light condensed into a huge form in mid-air, when the crack disappeared, the light dissipated, and a strange creature appeared in front of the three of them.

The monster was unusually large, and even though it was crouching in front of the three of them, it was still a head taller than the three.

The body of a lion, however, is smooth and hairless, and it looks extremely strange.

The eagle's wings are more than two meters long, each feather is more than a foot long, and a pair of huge wings are tightly attached to its back like a cloak, smooth and recognizable.

As for its face, the three of them did not see the real face of the Sphinx, but they saw a golden mask with a human face, covering the head of the beast, the expression of the mask was dull and serious, and a pair of ruby-like eyes had no pupils, but pure bright red, looking at the three of them through the gap in the mask.

I don't know if it's an illusion, Xing Tianyu can clearly feel the contempt and arrogance of the other party, just like a knowledgeable scholar looking at a group of ignorant rural peasants.

"Whoa, whoa, another call, another plea for help, I've always been a little puzzled as to why you humans always have all sorts of questions to ask me for answers, as if your poor little minds really understand." The Sphinx said in a languid, bored tone, and yawned very humanly with his front paws.

Then, its neck lowered slightly, and its gaze fell on the world encyclopedia on the ground as a sacrifice.

His paws brushed lightly against the cover of the world encyclopedia on the ground, his nails scratching the hard cover with a piercing grinding sound.

His gaze swept over the three of them, and finally landed on Xing Tianyu's body, "Then you are my summoner." ”

"That's right." Xing Tianyu said in a deep voice, his heart was a little nervous, his eyes glanced around, on both sides of the summoning array, Xiao Zhen and Ning Wenrui were both holding weapons, with a posture of being ready to go to war at any time.

He steadied himself, "I am your summoner. ”

The Sphinx's gaze swept over the otherworldly book in his hand, and a greedy look appeared on his face. "Then you should know the rules."

"That's right." Xing Tianyu replied again.

"Very well, so that we can also save the red tape, and then I will ask my question, you have an hour to answer, and if you can't, I will eat you as a punishment for delaying my precious time." The Sphinx licked his lips as he spoke.

Its gaze glanced at Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen next to it again, "But I guess you probably won't let me eat it, it looks like you're ready to tear up the agreement, hehe, it's really undisguised." ”

Xing Tianyu was shocked in his heart, and said obediently, he actually saw it, but thinking about it, how could he not see such an obvious posture.

"No, we're actually just on guard in case it's not you but something else that is summoned, not against you."

"Hmph, whatever you want."

The Sphinx didn't seem to care what the three of them thought, "My question is - where did you get the otherworldly book in your hand?" ”
