Chapter 299: The Third Test of the Sphinx
"I really didn't expect you to be able to pass the two tests of the great Sphinx?" The Sphinx's face was full of admiration, but the expression on its handsome face matched its strange body, no matter how you look at it, it is full of evil and twisted flavor. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ma Xiaoming and the others raised their vigilance instead, it seemed that the other party had some conspiracy to play, so it was better to be careful.
"Alright, the great Sphinx is about to give the third test, are you ready?" asked the Sphinx.
No one responded to him, and the teacher's tone of questioning elementary school students was quite unpleasant, and he was a little cold for a while, and seeing that the Sphinx was a little annoyed and angry, he broke the embarrassing situation with an answer.
"Ready. The one who spoke turned out to be a slightly chubby young man, who had always been impetuous and unhappy with the Sphinx, and he was worthy of his identity as an A-level powerhouse, so he suppressed his emotions, "Come up with the third question!"
Surprisingly, however, the Sphinx did not continue to play riddles.
"The third test is the labyrinth!" The Sphinx changed his previous lazy appearance, got up from the ground, and shook the mountains for a while, and the yellow sand came from afar, covering everything around, including the stone tower and some of the surrounding vegetation, and in two or three breaths it was all submerged.
Between heaven and earth, there was a yellow patch, and I couldn't see anything clearly, and the strange thing was that I didn't feel the feeling of yellow sand paving on my body, and I didn't feel suffocation when I breathed.
Just when Ma Xiaoming and the others thought that the Sphinx was going to turn their faces, their vision recovered again.
They have appeared in a labyrinth of yellow sand!
"Your goal is to get out of this labyrinth. The Sphinx was gone, and only its proud voice remained in the air, "But don't get your hopes up, the labyrinth of the Sphinx has trapped the real gods!"
Only Ma Xiaoming and the four of them were left in this empty desert giant city.
――――――
Two hours later.
"Brother Sima, can we really get out of this labyrinth?" The chubby young man has no energy, although everyone has space to store tools, and there is no need to worry about the lack of food and water, but the road in front of him that seems to lead in all directions cannot end.
This was very discouraging, the slightly chubby young man was the first to ask, and the others were silent and continued to follow the fragmented Ma Xiaoming.
"Yes, there is such a thing as a maze that is for people to crack. An unbreakable labyrinth is meaningless in itself!" Ma Xiaoming continued to move forward, explaining to the slightly chubby young man.
In fact, his explanation is not only for the chubby young man, but also to reassure others that if everyone loses confidence, then it may be really dangerous.
"Although it seems to be a desperate situation, there must be a solution to this maze. Ma Xiaoming was quite sure of this, and cited evidence, "Everyone should have seen it when they guessed the riddle before, obviously it can be tricked, but in the end it still admits the correctness of my answer, so you can understand that this maze is definitely not the kind of cheat thing that is all dead ends." ”
Everyone's mood settled down, and their steps began to become steady, and the eyebrows that had been frowning for a little impatient began to stretch out.
"Brother Sima, ask you something...... "It's still a slightly chubby young man who speaks, anyway, everyone has been walking, and it's normal to talk and dispel some boredom, "How did you guess the Sphinx in your first riddle before?"
This question stopped Ma Xiaoming, and he fell silent for a long, long time.
Just when the chubby young man thought that this question had offended Ma Xiaoming, Ma Xiaoming slowly opened his mouth to answer.
"I didn't know, but I was about to answer a random answer when a voice said to me, 'It's a Sphinx, it's a Sphinx......"
"Uh, is it a magical prophetic ability?" The chubby young man had the spirit of breaking the casserole and asking the truth, but the second sister immediately hammered him hard to make him realize that he had made a mistake.
When it comes to the ability to prophesy, it is all strong against the sky, and it is also a kind of hole card, how can it be easily revealed to others?
The chubby young man went beyond some of the bottom lines, and he himself quickly realized it.
"I'm sorry, Brother Sima, I didn't mean to find out your secret, so I asked casually. The chubby young man apologized.
"It doesn't matter. Ma Xiaoming waved his hand generously and continued to lead everyone forward.
In fact, Ma Xiaoming lied, and it was not told to him by a voice in the dark.
The person who told him the answer was......
No, to be precise, the thing that told him the answer was ...... "Sphinx"!
It's really a Sphinx, but this "Sphinx" is much smaller than the current Sphinx, about the size of a kitten, and there is no crown on its head.
When the Sphinx said the first riddle, Ma Xiaoming suddenly felt a trance in front of him, and some scenes appeared in his mind dimly.
――――――
It was a dark place, and a young man seemed to be dressed in a Taoist robe, and in front of him was a stone platform on which there was a scale, on which lay a blood-red heart and a feather on the other.
Strangely, the scales were balanced.
"So, I'll take it with me. The young man's face was completely unclear, but the voice was unusually familiar, and Ma Xiaoming remembered that he seemed to have heard it.
There seemed to be a heavy sigh in the dark space behind the scales, and no one answered the young man. Just as he was about to step forward to take the scales, a sudden change occurred.
A shrunken Sphinx jumped onto the stone platform and shouted at the young man who was about to stretch out his hand, "Don't touch anything that belongs to the great Sphinx!"
The young man smiled slightly, not paying attention to the clamor of the little Sphinx: "But this is your master's thing, he has already promised me!"
"Then, that ......" Little Sphinx obviously agreed with this statement, but this thing is the owner's treasure, how can it be easily given to people?
"Anyway, you just can't, you haven't passed the test of the great Sphinx?" Little Sphinx suddenly thought of an idea, maybe he could keep his master's treasure!
"Oh, what a test, tell me about it!" asked the young man, who seemed interested.
"Well, the test, the test......" Obviously, the little Sphinx didn't think of what to test, and suddenly remembered a certain guest with a bad taste who had come to the master's house, and suddenly thought about it.
"Riddle, as long as you answer the riddle of the great Sphinx correctly, then I won't stop you!" said the Sphinx. (To be continued.) )
