Chapter 39: Demons?
Su Xiaobai remembered the instructions of the cold mage, and was ready to shout at the top of his voice;
But he was horrified to find that his throat seemed to be choked, as if he was suffocating, and he couldn't scream.
Even with the blessing of the skull's calming properties, Su Xiaobai still felt fear;
It's like a cold hand holding a dagger caressing the back of his neck, but he can't move, and can only watch death approaching from the corner of his eye.
The dark shadow walked into the tent;
It was very dark, and I could only vaguely see the appearance of the 'monster'.
First of all, Su Xiaobai can be sure that the murderer is not a human being, it is indeed a monster.
A sphinx-faced monster.
The head of a man, the body of a lion, has wings and its fur is yellowish-brown.
Lucifer's pupils shrank: "It turned out to be it." Sphinx! ”
Su Xiaobai also felt a little tricky, but the fear of death in his heart had subsided a lot, and the unknown danger was the most terrifying, and now he finally understood what he was facing
Sphinx;
The high-level demon clan in the game of the Continent of the Gods likes to hunt human souls the most, and the way to hunt is trading.
Like what...
A deep voice came from under the mask of the Sphinx: "Human, answer me a question, if you can answer it correctly, then I will answer you a question too, as long as I know, I can tell you." ”
"But if you can't answer my question, I'll eat your soul."
The Sphinx's voice was a little calm, with a hint of arrogance in teasing the ants.
The Sphinx are not considered powerful in the Demon Clan, but their inheritance has endless knowledge, and every Sphinx is a great scholar.
Su Xiaobai wanted to resist;
But he couldn't resist, and he clicked on the sphinx with the mouse, which had a Lv10 on its head; This Nima is still playing a fart after surpassing the ninth order.
The cold eyes behind the Sphinx mask stared at him, Su Xiaobai's back was cold, he didn't think he could answer the Sphinx's question,
The other party is one of the most knowledgeable scholars in the Demon Clan, who knows how tricky its problems are?
Su Xiaobai's face changed, he could bet the winning rate on the wisdom of the people in Castlevania, but once he lost the bet, it would be a small life;
Careful! Be careful! Think of a sure way to win!
The Sphinx said coldly: "Human, I'm going to solve the problem." ”
Su Xiaobai was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
"Wait!"
He opened his throat, and although he didn't make a sound, he believed that the Sphinx understood what he meant.
The Sphinx looked at Su Xiaobai calmly.
Su Xiaobai took a deep breath and tried his best to pretend to be disdainful: "Sphinx? The most knowledgeable scholar in the Devil? It's just a joke in my opinion, you're just a clown who doesn't know the sky. ”
Rumble!
A terrifying magic erupted from the Sphinx, Su Xiaobai's iron armor was pressed to a creak, and his body seemed to be carrying a weight of ten thousand pounds, and he knelt down on the spot, his knee hurting as if it was cracked.
The eyes behind the Sphinx mask flashed with murderous aura.
Su Xiaobai was so panicked, shouldn't this joke be a big deal? Although it is a strategic taunt, it will be a bad pen if you accidentally lose your life......
He stood up strongly, looking like I was arrogant and who I was afraid of, and said in a mocking tone: "Sphinx, dare you compete with me?" You and I each have a question, and whoever can't answer it will lose! Do you dare? ”
"Hehe, the most knowledgeable scholar in the Demon Clan, he must be able to defeat me easily, right? But I'm sure you don't dare, because you lose this duel, and you're going to lose it completely. ”
Su Xiaobai tried his best to pretend to be forced in a calm tone, he fantasized about himself as a big man who knew astronomy and geography, and also knew the three thousand planes, and deeply immersed himself in it.
Otherwise, I would have been frightened by the big eyes of the Sphinx, and I would have pretended to be chicken feathers.
The Sphinx sneered: "What an undead, flamboyant, do you think the Sphinx clan will experience such a low-level provocation?" ”
"Still."
The Sphinx changed his words and looked at Su Xiaobai with cruel eyes: "I am willing to accept your proposal, but if you lose, I will not eat your soul, but tear out your soul and roast it in the fire of hell, and it is better to live than die forever." ”
Su Xiaobai scolded it in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to be strategic, and said, "Then how about I ask a question first?" ”
"Hmph, what about you." The Sphinx snorted haughtily. You must know that the first side has a huge advantage.
The Sphinx added: "The premise is that the Q&A is limited to the Continent of the Gods, and you can't ask questions that you don't even know the answer to. ”
Su Xiaobai was shocked, there was too much information hidden in the Sphinx's words, could it be that there was another world besides the Continent of the Gods? No, there really is, like in the real world!
How much does this Sphinx know and how much does it master?
He was suddenly frightened;
The sphinx monster standing in front of him was a real demon;
Not the amiable men of Castlevania;
It's a man-eating devil!
The Sphinx sneered: "Human, scared? Now you can regret it, I'll just eat your soul. ”
Su Xiaobai pretended to be calm, "Whoever is afraid of whom, come on." ”
The second request of the Sphinx was reasonable, and both of them could only ask questions to which they knew the answer;
For example, Su Xiaobai can't mention the unsolvable questions of 'how many hairs do I have' and 'how many stars are in the sky', which can also avoid the Sphinx making up nonsense, and its understanding of the Continent of the Gods is much deeper than Su Xiaobai's.
The first question is crucial. If you use it well, you win straight away without taking the risk of answering questions.
Su Xiaobai's eyes were blazing, and he began to twist his eyebrows and think.
What is good to ask? He thought for a moment that if he were to ask some strange knowledge, the Sphinx would surely be able to answer it with the amount of knowledge;
Besides, Su Xiaobai didn't know much about the Continent of the Gods, and he couldn't ask any more advanced questions.
Simply...
Su Xiaobai's eyes lit up, and he asked directly:
"You know, I'm an undead, so who was the first human I met when I woke up?"
After asking the question, Su Xiaobai secretly admired his cleverness, no matter how powerful the Sphinx was, could he still read his memory? Although this question is a bit improper, it is definitely within the scope of their competition.
Su Xiaobai said proudly: "What, can't you answer?" Just throw in the towel. ”
The Sphinx glanced at him meaningfully, and that look made Su Xiaobai's heart beat wildly;
There is a feeling that the secret has been seen through.
The Sphinx spoke slowly;
"Lilith. You meet a girl, a second-order water mage, named Lilith. ”
Su Xiaobai looked sluggish.
A vicious chill surrounded him.
What is this monster in front of you???
