Wen Zhong instinctively picked up the little girl and propped up the telekinesis shield, but the expected attack did not appear, and he didn't even see the shadow of the owner of the voice, as if it was just his auditory hallucination.

But from the expressions of the mountain ghost and the little girl S, it can be seen that Wen Zhong did not have auditory hallucinations, and that the voice was real. Instinctively sensing that something was wrong, Wen Zhong wanted to retreat in the direction he came. But when I turned my head, I was surprised to find that the snow behind me had turned into the same loess mountain range as before.

In order to prove that Wen Zhong was not hallucinating, the old voice sounded again: "Don't be nervous, I have no malicious intent." ”

"Who are you? Instead of hiding, why don't you come out and meet up! Wen Zhong did not let down the vigilance in his heart because of that voice, but became more and more vigilant, and between the flow of his thoughts, the left cheek looked even more hideous and terrifying.

"Oh... Sorry, just haven't talked to people for too long, I forgot about that, please wait! The old voice heard Wen Zhong's words, and only then did he respond in a tone of sudden realization. As his tone fell, the ground around him began to vibrate, which made Wen Zhong even more vigilant, floating in the air and spreading his telekinesis to the extreme. But apart from the fact that the earth was still shaking, no one could be felt at all.

But the next moment, he was stunned.

Between the dust, the earth cracked. A deep ravine suddenly cracked open from the distant mountains, as if it had been broken by an invisible great axe. It was like the end of the world, as the first loess mountain range cracked, the sky collapsed and the earth cracked in this short moment, even Wen Zhong, the mountain ghost and the little girl S who were in mid-air were deeply shocked by the scene in front of them.

Unlike Wen Zhong, who was simply shocked by the scene in front of him, both the mountain ghost and S understood that this place was definitely not ordinary! You must know that if the terrain is destroyed, it will largely be reduced to data fragments and returned to the air. Just like the giant that Wen Zhong made two days ago, after destroying the earth, the grassland of the Domain of Change has not been able to escape the end of fragmentation.

But the fact that the land here has been completely destroyed, without the slightest sign of fragmentation, is already very revealing.

The change in the landscape was completed in a short time, and when all the dust settled, Wen Zhong found that the original Loess Mountains had become a thick valley. The adjective "thick" is used because there are many jagged rocks above this valley, almost half of the sky, as if a strange hand firmly grasps the entire valley in the palm of its hand.

"Boy, come here!" Just as Wen Zhong surveyed the place, the old voice came from the depths of the valley again.

This time, Moon Zhong was able to clearly hear the source of the voice. Looking in the direction, the sound came from deeper into the valley. Wen Zhong hesitated for a moment, then looked at the mountain ghost and the little girl, and finally flew into the depths of the valley.

The depths of the valley are completely submerged in the shadow of the craggy rocks, and the interior is a little dark, and some corners are even darker, making it difficult to see clearly. Such an environment made Wen Zhong stop, he floated outside the entrance of the cave, vigilantly spreading his telekinesis into the depths, and the reward he could get was nothing but stone and stone.

In the depths of the valley, the old man's voice seemed to be able to sense Wen Zhong's ability, and said again: "Don't worry, I have no ill will towards you, if you are worried about this darkness, then I can dispel it." ”

After saying that, a piece of the ground suddenly collapsed, and a little light slowly rose from the collapse, although the light was small but enough to illuminate the darkness of the entire depth. It was only at this time that Wen Zhong finally knew why his telekinesis could not find the source of the sound, because the sound came from a stone!

In the depths of the whole valley, densely carved with all kinds of stone statues, these stone statues are the heads of various creatures, animals, human beings, and many things that Wen Zhong has seen and have not seen, densely carved on the stone walls of the valley. Only the largest stone statue in the middle made Wen Zhong have to pay attention.

This stone statue does not look like the stone statues next to it, only one head is carved. The stone statue is a full-length statue with the body of a lion, the head of a woman, and a pair of dormant wings. Wen Zhong was puzzled, at first he thought of the Sphinx in Egypt, but in an instant he thought of the Sphinx in Greek mythology.

In fact, in Egyptian mythology and Greek mythology, these two gods are the same god, but the legends of each other are slightly different.

The Sphinx in Greek mythology has a famous story about sitting on a cliff near the city of Thebais and posing a famous riddle to passers-by: what walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?

Eventually, this answer was answered by the young Greek Oedipus, and the Sphinx committed suicide by jumping off a cliff in shame. In Greek mythology, the sphinx symbolized wisdom and knowledge.

In Egyptian mythology, the Sphinx is the god of death in the desert. Its eyes can never see anything, but no one can resist its gaze; Those who are stared at by it will be unable to resist and will be forced into an eternal guessing game, as the thing is obsessed with making people guess until it voluntarily closes its eyes.

But if you summon it by ritual, it will ask you a riddle. The riddle will not be the same every time, and if you answer it incorrectly, you will fall into an endless game of guessing, and you will get the wisdom of the Sphinx if you answer it correctly. However, in many stories and legends, many travelers who were lost in the desert eventually fell at the feet of this desert god of death.

Wen Zhong looked at this stone statue very vigilantly, and flew to the side of a raised stone carving without a trace, only revealing half of his body and asked vigilantly, "Sphinx?" ”

"Yes, but it's not." The Sphinx simply admitted and denied it, its eyes shining brightly, making Wen Zhong very nervous to hide behind the stone carving with the little girl in his arms. The Sphinx didn't feel any dissatisfaction with this, but continued to say in an old voice: "Come out, boy, I am the Sphinx, I was, I am, and I will be in the future. But it doesn't mean that I am willing to be at any time, the so-called identity is just a code name in the face of time, and I have no malicious intent. ”

Wen Zhong was still very vigilant, he still didn't show his figure, but asked hesitantly: "In that case, then please tell me, what are you bringing us here for?" ”

He had already reacted, and the coordinates 0-0 that did not exist in the legend of the mountain ghost suddenly appeared in front of him, and he stepped into it as if he had won the grand prize. The only explanation is that the Sphinx in front of him deliberately pulled the three of them here.

The Sphinx seemed to acquiesce to Wen Zhong's behavior, and there was no annoyance in his tone, but he said slowly: "Child, you are wrong. It's not that I brought you here, it's her on your shoulder, guiding me to you! ”
