I must not make a mistake. At this time, the roadblock that blocked the expedition team would not be unfamiliar with time travelers and the natives of the New World. It is a sphinx called "Sphinx". There is such a giant statue in front of the Giza pyramid group in the old world. It is estimated that no one on earth doesn't know it.

Unable to suppress the ecstasy and excitement in his heart, Gao De took several deep breaths in a row, and he seemed extremely excited and said to Luo Zhengdao in a nagging manner:

"This is a sphinx, a magical beast that is difficult to deal with. Its wisdom is no less than that of humans and is often used to protect treasures. It seems that we are on the right path. Emperor Taizu bless you!"

Just as the pirates couldn't help but be excited, the Sphinx, who was lying on the ground and pretending to sleep, slowly stood up. It glanced calmly at the corner of the tunnel, and spoke in a fluent lingering language:

"Don't hide, little mice, I see you, come out quickly! If you want to get the treasure here, you must solve my riddle, otherwise you will get nothing and will be eaten by me."

Luo Zhengdao and Gaode, who had originally planned to kill the other party, looked at each other and smiled bitterly at this time. What could they say? He immediately walked slowly to the Sphinx. Gaode held the hilt with caution and said:

"I am the descendant of Emperor Light, God Nidham..."

As soon as he heard Gaode's words, the Sphinx immediately shook its fluffy tail and looked impatient. It waved its claws as big as a human head and shook in front of it. It interrupted Gaode's words without hesitation and said disdainfully:

"Listen, I'm only responsible for guarding the treasure. Whoever comes to take the treasure has nothing to do with me. Let's start guessing riddles!"

Hearing the sound, Gao De took a few steps back, and then he turned around and quickly returned to his own team and muttered to his followers. At this moment, Luo Zhengdao also consulted the Yaling enemy about the information about the Sphinx. Soon, Gao De stepped beside Luo Zhengdao and whispered:

"There is no other way, just guess the riddle! Are you going to come or me?"

Knowing that this Sphinx beast is difficult to deal with, Luo Zhengdao is ready to fight this time, he didn't intend to show off any attention and shook his head and said:

"I'm not good at guessing riddles, come on!"

As if he was confident in his level of guessing riddles, Gao De nodded, then came to the Sphinx and said aloud:

"Please tell me!"

"It's not the king's king, it's not the empire of the empire, there is no ending history. What's the answer?"

Listening to this difficult riddle, Gaud Nidham's face collapsed in an instant. Without asking, he could not guess the answer to the puzzle.

"...I can't guess!"

Luo Zhengdao, who was the audience behind, also expressed deep hatred for this mindless riddle. He looked at Gaode with sympathy. Then, his hand was held on the hilt of the sword, lowered his voice and said to the governor Yaling:

"Salil, we're going to start the fight!"

The facts are obvious now. The way to obtain treasures without fighting with the Sphinx is to correctly answer its riddles. Guessing riddles is not what pirates are good at. They are more skilled in communicating with rejection partners in another way, that is, using swords and cannons.

Faced with the stalemate, Luo Zhengdao suddenly drew his sword and shouted:

"Everyone do it and kill it!"

"roar--"

He had been wary of humans to use this move, and the Sphinx roared disdainfully and rushed towards Gaode Nidham at the first time. Hearing Luo Zhengdao's shouting behind him, Gaode had already begun to move his body. At this time, he just leaned over to avoid the pounce of the large magic beast, and he couldn't help but feel scared and sweated. The Sphinx did not stop and his body rushed forward with a bow.

"Ao—"

With a loud shout, he turned into a silver-haired werewolf with a height of more than two meters and a strong body that was as strong as the governor who was angry with Brother Chun to death. Luo Zhengdao grinned and stretched out his hands, desperately supporting the Sphinx that was flying towards him, and pushed the other party out hard, finally not letting the big mouth full of shining fangs bit his body.

"Thunder strike!"

A heavy-armed warrior not far from Luo Zhengdao saw that the situation was critical, and without saying a word, he swung his weapon and hit the Sphinx with a fierce attack.

"boom--"

In an instant, the powerful blue current surged, knocked the Sphinx to the ground with a powerful swing. Even if you can't hurt you, the huge impact force can make you lie down. This is the most reassuring thing. Having said that, the strength of this attack is not a fatal threat to the Sphinx, which is listed as the elite guard level in the New World Encyclopedia. It simply rolled on the spot, then got up and started to fight again. Pirates are not professions suitable for good men and women, and they never pay attention to fair combat. The so-called single-handed fight is that you fight with us alone, and the opposite is true.

Although nobles pay more attention to face issues and do not like to make some mistakes that are questioned, pirates do not need to consider such a painful reason. You don’t look at when it is now. If you don’t go together, what are you waiting for?

"Barbha! Reaper!"

"Aowu--"

The Sphinx, which was surrounded by dozens of elite pirates, was a little panicked. It turned around and rushed towards the werewolf Luo Zhengdao. All this happened too suddenly. Before Luo Zhengdao could react, Salil Byrne, who had been standing beside him, leaned forward and charged forward, drew his sword and made a fierce and fierce attack.

"Aiding and protecting strike! Armor break! Destroy the charge!"

The sword light, like the lightning of the rainy night, flashed quickly, and the sharp light remained in people's vision. The already scarred Sphinx beast was hit by the three-combo attacks of the Yaling Governor at a close distance. Coupled with the old injuries accumulated in the previous battle, its huge body could no longer support it. The Sphinx beast first swayed a few times in gasping, then let out a helpless cry and fell into the pool of blood on the ground.

Only by relying on group fights can you win. This matter is indeed not glorious. At the moment, no one will blame this issue. It is not a knight duel. What are the things to complain about when fighting monsters and playing group fights?

Rubbing the sweat from his forehead, Gaud Nidham gasped in shock and said:

"This guy is the treasure guardian, and the treasure hiding place must be nearby. Everyone is looking for clues separately."

Hearing the sound, the pirates immediately skillfully used hard objects such as shields and sword hilts to continuously hit the rocks around and under their feet. After a while, a pirate suddenly screamed and said:

"There is empty behind this!"

Seeing this, Gao De hurried to the front of the stone wall and knocked it a few times. He heard the echo inside, suppressing the ecstasy and instructed his assistant to say:

"Hank, smash the stone wall."

"no problem!"

The strong man named Hank swung his battle axe and started to smash it hard against the rock wall with his blunt end, one after another.

"Dong!Dong!Crash..."

After half a minute of continuous tapping, the thick stone slabs covering the entrance of the passage were smashed by the strong man Hank. The pirates hadtily cleared the gravel on the ground and rushed into the golden avenue that led to huge wealth. In order to come here, they paid too much money, and many of their companions were killed and injured. They could only hope that the rich harvest of treasure hunting would make them feel that the previous sacrifice was not in vain.

"Stop everyone!"

Gaud Nidham raised his hand to stop everyone. The reason for the call was simple. He didn't know how to go down the road. There were twelve forks in front of the pirates.

This situation occurs in the maze, even if you think about it, you can guess that there is definitely only one path that is the correct path. If you walk the remaining forks, even if you don’t encounter a dangerous trap and lose your life, you may even let the treasure hunter get out of nothing. As the saying goes, those who travel a hundred miles apart are half ninety. Now you must be extra cautious when making your choice!

An elf wizard carefully observed the surrounding environment, pointing to the fork in the road and said:

"Look, there is a bas-relief pattern on the top, which should be a reminder!"

"Oh, it seems to be twelve animals? Maybe some special symbol? Who knows?"

Looking in the direction pointed out by a discerning person, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then he became aware. The twelve animals carved on the tunnel happened to match the twelve zodiac signs in the old world. Considering the background of the senior traveler Emperor Taizu, the possibility of misjudgment is almost non-existent, and this bet is worth fighting. Among the twelve zodiac signs, the dragon can represent the emperor and the Chinese civilization. After quickly understanding this point, Luo Zhengdao made a decision. He pointed to the fork in the road carved with the dragon-shaped pattern and said to everyone:

"No need to guess, it must be this road."

Hearing the sound, Gao De, who was confused, looked at Luo Zhengdao in confusion, and asked back:

"Your Excellency Earl, can you be sure?"

"What benefits can I do if the action fails?"

Obviously, the reason Luo Zhengdao proposed is very convincing. There are many villains in this world who harm others and benefit themselves. The best villains who only seek happiness are not so common. Immediately, God Nidham shrugged and said:

"Uh, then let's go here!"

This dark and deep corridor cannot see anything strange from the outside. Only after walking in person will you find that there is a mystery inside. The unfathomable corridor is like a monster that will swallow all the light. When you step into this area, both the torches and the lighting crystals have all failed. Even if the pirates can sense the heat emitted by the torches, their eyes can't see anything. The mages tried various magic tricks that can produce light, but they still had dark eyes. When they encountered a difficult problem, the pirates stopped and discussed it, and decided to use a stupid method to deal with this difficulty.

They put one hand on the shoulders of the person in front, and the other hand that was empty touched the wall on one side of the corridor to avoid accidentally losing the road. Walking in this way, they experienced a depressing and terrifying atmosphere. People did not even dare to breathe, and followed closely behind the person in front, for fear that they would be left behind by a large group of people.

"Everyone wait, my shoelaces are loose."

He greeted the person behind him, and Luo Zhengdao, who stopped on the excuse, bent down and groped with his hands to find the unknown object that almost tripped him. Then, Luo Zhengdao's heart moved. This was a box. Since it appeared in the maze, it was probably a treasure box! However, this box had no key hole, and the touch felt...

"Ouch!"
