Chapter 134: The Puzzle of the Sphinx(1/2)

"No, no, this is impossible." Toth seemed a little unconvinced. She looked at Xia Lian, "This must be your illusion!"

"Thoth." Horus said slowly, "I believe him."

Thoth looked to Horus.

"Didn't you see the brilliance just now?" Horus murmured softly.

Thoth's face showed a little astonishment, "Isn't that your divine power?"

"My left eye, which symbolizes the moon, was gouged out. How could I have released such a powerful explosion if it wasn't during the day?" Horus said.

Thoth stared at Xia Lian, "Are you not a human being?"

Xia Lian shrugged, "It's not impossible if you think so."

Thoth fell silent. He knew about the existence of extraterrestrial life, and Apophis came from outside the world, so she accepted it quickly.

After a moment, she lowered her head to Xia Lian and said, "I apologize for what I just said.

I also hope you can understand, after all, we can't make mistakes now.

This is Horus' only chance to win.

If she loses, Egypt may indeed come under the brutal rule of Set."

Xia Lian raised his eyebrows, tilted his head, and said jokingly: "You are similar to the god in my impression."

After a pause, he continued: "Don't worry, if it were me, I would do the same.

Besides, I’m not that stingy either.”

"Your measure matches your territory." Thoth praised.

Xia Lian was speechless for a moment as he looked at Toth, whose face was completely different from the one just now.

"Where is the Double Crown?" Horus asked.

"In the pyramid that Orises built for himself, there is a problem. There is a Sphinx inside.



Her claws are enough to tear us all apart."

"The Sphinx, is that the Sphinx?" Xia Lian asked.

Thoth nodded.

"You are the God of Wisdom. You should be able to answer the riddles it raises, right?"

"Remove should, because this word is an insult to me." Toth said confidently.

Horus smiled, "I believe you."

He looked at Xia Lian, "Do you want to go with us?"

"Of course, you can't enter the tomb of Egypt's first pharaoh at any time." Xia Lian said with a smile.

"It's a pity that my father didn't have time to go in." Horus said in a low voice.

Xia Lian raised his hand, and a map of Egypt appeared in front of them.

"Now, mark the location."

Toth stepped forward without any hesitation and clicked on a location on the map.

It's very close to here.

So Xia Lian asked the base to move forward at full speed, while Thoth used the medicine he brought to start treating Horus's eyes.

The potion contains the powerful power of moonlight, and the lost eyes are slowly growing at a speed that is almost visible to the naked eye.

When his eyes had almost recovered, the base vehicle had almost reached its destination.

Pyramid of Aurisis.

It is a huge pyramid hidden in a secret place in the rainforest.

Different from the dilapidated pyramids that Xia Lian saw in the 21st century that were corroded by time, this pyramid is very spectacular.

The material has a metallic texture and has many strange patterns on it, like the buildings left by aliens. The civilization established by the gods using the fifth element has an advanced nature unique to them.

The Egyptian pharaohs attached great importance to death. They would start building pyramids and put important things in them before they died.

Of course, they are the only gods built in the pyramid now. It seems that this can bring them closer to the god Ra.

Horus stepped forward, and the pyramid seemed to sense the blood of the descendants of Orises. The stones of the pyramid slowly opened to one side, revealing a passage.

Xia Lian and others entered the passage.

Entering the pyramid is quite simple, perhaps because there is a powerful monster stationed inside, so there are no too difficult mechanisms designed.

The Sphinx as mentioned by Horus and others is a monster with corresponding legends in Greek mythology and Egyptian mythology.

It has magical powers and will ask any intruder a riddle.

As long as it can be solved, the Sphinx will disappear, and if it cannot be solved, the Sphinx will bring death.

But looking at the fearful looks on Horus and Thoth's face, if the answer cannot be found, this Sphinx should receive some kind of power bonus, to the point where even the gods are afraid.

It's normal when you think about it. After all, you are guarding the Pharaoh's tomb. If you are not strong, how can you guard the Pharaoh's treasure?

They entered the depths of the tomb, where there were many metal obelisks and walls with metal structures, and energy followed the lines on these metal walls.

"Where's the monster?"

Thoth put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly as he asked, as if he already had a chance to win.

As its words fell, the surrounding ground began to shake, and the obelisk began to emit light, finally condensing on their only path.

Gradually, a translucent giant slowly appeared in front of them. Its body was huge, several stories high, with a lion-like body, a human face, and a pair of wings.

On its head is the classic hair ornament of an Egyptian pharaoh.

It slowly opened its eyes and glanced at everyone present.

"Intruders, you have entered an inaccessible forbidden area. Now, you have to answer a riddle of mine. If you can solve it, I will let you go.

If you can't answer it, you will pay with your life..."

Thoth put his hands behind his back, raised his eyebrows and said, "But it doesn't matter."

The Sphinx stared at Thoth, "You are... Thoth, the God of Wisdom, right? You are a very rare guest.

You have the entire knowledge of Egypt in your mind, so I won’t ask you knowledge-based questions.”

It raised its hand, and the light condensed into two people, and behind them, the metal wall began to change, revealing two roads.

"There are two roads here, one leads to the inside of the tomb, and the other leads to death...

And there are two people here, one can only tell the truth, and the other can only tell lies.

You need to find the right path by asking."

"That's it?" Toth said with a little disdain, "I only need to ask three questions to get the answer."

Sphinx slowly raised the corners of her mouth, "I can only ask one question."

Thoth frowned slightly.

"interesting...."

"My time is limited." The Sphinx raised its hand, showing its sharp claws, "I have never killed a god..."

Horus couldn't help but look at Thoth, "Thoth, can you do this?"

"Don't worry, let me think." Toth fell into thinking.

But while she was thinking, Xia Lian slowly walked towards one of the people and pointed at the other person.

"Will he tell me..."

Xia Lian pointed to one of the roads.

"Is this the right way?"

The man looked at the person Xia Lian was pointing at, then looked at the road, shook his head and said.

"Won't."

Xia Lian raised his hand, looked at the Sphinx, and pointed to the path he just pointed to.

"This is the right path."

"Xialian!" Horus shouted anxiously, "Thoth hasn't spoken yet, why did you answer it yourself!?"

Then, she looked at Toth and saw that she was looking at Xia Lian slightly absentmindedly.

"There was a sense of disbelief and...frustration in his eyes."

While Horus was stunned, the Sphinx let out a roar.

"Damn it, human being! Who allowed you to answer!

!?"
