Chapter 42: The Problem
Su Xiaobai was completely relieved,
Soon he remembered the rules of victory and defeat, and if he won, he could ask the Sphinx a question!
This question doesn't have to be the kind of tricky type that is deliberately tricky for the sake of victory or defeat, Su Xiaobai can ask the Sphinx to calculate the location where the next exotic treasure will be born, and he can also ask it where there is an artifact in the abyss, or even how to get the evil god statue...
These sphinxes can all be answered.
"What do you want to ask? Say, undead, whatever I can answer, I'll try to satisfy you. The Sphinx's tone was full of disdain.
Su Xiaobai thought about it for a while before making a decision.
He was eager to ask the Sphinx if he knew where the Sage's relics were. But after thinking about it, this super powerful artifact must be in a very dangerous place, such as tens of thousands of meters in the abyss; With Su Xiaobai's third-order strength, all of them are mirrors, so it's better to have something real.
Su Xiaobai: "I need an evil god statue, with my strength, where can I get it on this island?" "He limited the location to the island, otherwise the Sphinx deliberately said that it was a distant country and would not kill Su Xiaobai?
The Sphinx sneered: "I thought it was a difficult question, you just find an altar of the Dragon of Time, sacrifice a green equipment such as a shield, plus a small green relic, and pray with the statue of the evil god in mind." The almighty Dragon of Time will satisfy you. ”
Su Xiaobai blinked and added, "Must use green equipment?" Other qualities don't work? ”
There were a bunch of purple suits in his backpack, and the most inferior was a ninth-order blue magic scroll;
The Sphinx glanced at him meaningfully and said, "Of course, as long as you have enough sacrifices, not to mention the evil god statue, it is a real evil god, and the dragon of time can also summon it for you." ”
"Well, what exactly is the Dragon of Time?" Su Xiaobai asked subconsciously. It's just like the almighty wishing machine in a certain Holy Grail War, it's too evil.
The Sphinx paused, its eyes revealing a strangeness: "The Dragon of Time? This is probably a mysterious problem that plagues countless races in the Continent of the Gods. Maybe no one knows where it came from, not even the ontology. ”
Su Xiaobai was puzzled: "Isn't it a dragon?" ”
The Sphinx scoffed: "That's just a rumor, the Dragon of Time has no specific form, it changes all the time, sometimes it turns into a stone, sometimes it turns into a lion. ”
"Okay undead, I've answered your question, I hope you can die on this Demon Mountain. Goodbye then. ”
The Sphinx turned away from the tent.
The heavy space blockade disappeared, and Su Xiaobai immediately sat on the ground, feeling a sense of happiness after suffocating and taking a big breath of fresh air.
He said to himself thoughtfully: "The Sphinx didn't make a move on me, that is to say, in the Continent of the Gods, the racial setting of the Sphinx is exactly the same as the game. ”
"The Sphinx has a long tradition of wisdom, but it is also burdened with huge limitations."
"First of all, it can't kill other lives at will, it must be tried."
"Sphinxes can only trade with one person per day, so their power tends to grow very slowly."
"After it traded with me, it couldn't choose me again for a short time, which means that I was safe during this time."
Su Xiaobai wiped a cold sweat and looked out through the gap in the tent curtain,
The Sphinx spread its wings and flew into the night sky, and the cold mage and the group of night vigil warriors all 'turned a blind eye', as if the Sphinx did not exist. The difference in strength between them and the Sphinx is too big, and it is not at the same level at all.
Su Xiaobai lay down on the futon and glanced at the endless mountain top in confusion.
The task requirement of the Castlevania system is to find out the truth about Moding Mountain. If you ask the Sphinx this question, can you get the task done directly? When Su Xiaobai thought so, there was a cold fluctuation from the system, which seemed to remind him that the task could not rely on the external force of the Sphinx.
"The only good news now is that the Sphinx can only trade with one person, so there won't be any more deaths tonight."
Su Xiaobai lay down with peace of mind, without the threat of life and death, he could finally enjoy a warm futon.
But this is only limited to today, tomorrow night the Sphinx will be back, I wonder who it chooses to trade with?
It would take at least seven days to reach the top of the mountain, and another ten days to descend the mountain, so that even if there was no other danger on the way, the team would have to be reduced by seventeen men.
Pixar's reason for recruiting adventurers to join turned out to be to use them as cannon fodder. Su Xiaobai secretly doubted that the cold mage would have known about the existence of the Sphinx a long time ago? And he also has some way to avoid the Sphinx and let this monster pick on others.
Su Xiaobai felt a chill in his heart, if it weren't for his special identity, he would have died under the claws of the Sphinx, and the cold mage didn't care about the lives of the rest of the team at all.
But Su Xiaobai can only choose to hibernate, his current strength is still too low, on the premise of not being able to expose the true body of the undead, he is just a third-order wind mage, at most a wind blade to cut down a small tree.
In this way, Su Xiaobai fell asleep.
In front of the screen, he also fell asleep.
The next morning, he was woken up by Gloria, and the loud shouts of the cold mages came from the screen, and he assembled.
…
The campfire had just been extinguished, leaving warm ashes behind. The group of night watch warriors had dark circles on their faces, but they were very comfortable and energetic, and there was no movement tonight, so it is estimated that the mysterious monster has disappeared, right?
The cold mage counted the number of people, but at this moment, a lone tent suddenly appeared in the field of vision, which was very eye-catching.
Everyone looked at each other, and they all saw a trace of horror on each other's faces.
Someone hasn't heard the assembly order and is still sleeping? This is very unlikely, everyone has been busy all morning, and the people in the tent are unaware? They just feel cold in their hearts.
The cold mage frowned, and casually pointed to a warrior: "You, go over and take a look." ”
The warrior's face turned pale, and he timidly opened the tent curtains;
In an instant, there was a gasping sound;
Su Xiaobai's pupils shrank into pintips.
In the tent, there was a magician lying with his eyes closed and already out of breath.
It was obviously dead, exactly the same way as the previous ones, without any pain, and without calling for help, as if they had lost their lives in their sleep.
Su Xiaobai felt a chill in his limbs, like falling into an ice cave.
How is this possible? Didn't the Sphinx leave last night?
Suddenly, a chill rose in his heart; That is, in addition to the Sphinx, there is also a mysterious monster.
And the Sphinx, in fact, only came for the first time last night, and the people who died before were all killed by mysterious monsters. Otherwise, with the difficulty of the Sphinx problem, there would not be one death every day, but two deaths.
