Chapter 290 Sphinx
"The trap has been cracked, let's keep going."
In Hagur's shock, Yu Zhen looked at the wall ahead as if nothing had happened.
"But where should we go now?" William asked, "Since the mark left by Hagur has been changed, it means we cannot find the right path.
"If we go through such a big maze, God knows how many other traps will we encounter?"
"I think we are very close to the destination," Yu Zhen said, "Although this trap was easily cracked by me just now, it is very powerful.
"Building such a trap requires a lot of spiritual energy, not anywhere.
"Only in the depths of the maze, the closer we are to the end, we will appear, so we just need to look around and we should be able to find it."
William nodded after hearing this, and Yu Zhen said it very well.
The Holy Spirit is very stingy with spiritual energy. Even a powerful senior elder like Taya, he probably won't receive too many gifts.
And the maze is so big that the traps inside are definitely not arranged in the past few days, so Taya and Sphinx do not have much power of the Holy Spirit - or spiritual energy, which fills the entire maze with traps.
"Okay, Taya and Sphinx even want to kill them together. I will settle the score with them later."
Listening to William's angry tone, Yu Zhen couldn't help but smile indifferently.
No wonder the other elders of the Holy Spirit Society looked down on him. This guy's mind is indeed not very good enough.
But it doesn't matter. Taya led him into this trap, just to consume some of his strength. So he happened to use William to consume Taya and the strength of the Sphinx.
Free labor is not used for nothing, this is called reciprocity.
Thinking of this, he walked to the stone wall, released a large amount of earth spiritual energy, and directly opened a hole in the stone wall.
Although these stones are a bit weird and require a dozen times more spiritual energy than usual to do so, this is not a particularly large amount of consumption for him who has a large amount of Yuan Qi.
Following the newly dug out stone cave, Yu Zhen kept moving forward straight. After about ten minutes, the surrounding stone walls absorbed spiritual energy faster and faster.
It seems that he is right that this place is close to the destination.
Sure enough, a few minutes later, the three of them finally penetrated the thick rock layer and came to a huge underground palace.
The reason why this palace is called huge is not only because of its wide area, but also because of its scary height. The distance from the ground to the ceiling is hundreds of meters.
And every few dozen meters, there is a huge stone pillar that is not environmentally friendly to ten people, with densely carved reliefs with strange images.
In the middle of these huge stone pillars, there is a golden passage, and the ground is paved with a very good-colored golden floor.
On both sides of the golden passage, hundreds of statues more than ten meters high are erected.
These statues have three forms: human head, lion body, sheep head, and eagle head.
"Sphinx!" Looking at the reliefs, William suddenly said, "As far as I know, the name of these reliefs is Sphinx.
"This is also the name of an elder of the Holy Spirit Society, but I believe that he did not call this name at first. He used this name and the legendary monster image after becoming an elder."
"Is this point of doing it?" Yu Zhen asked.
"I don't know, Taya and Sphinx have always been mysterious," William replied, "maybe it's a trick to make yourself more legendary, or more mysterious, and make others respect and fear them more."
"No, this is not a trick," said Hagur in horror. "Sphinx is a terrifying monster that really exists. It comes from hell and specifically takes human life."
William disagreed with this and asked with a smile: "Have you seen it?"
"Of course I've seen it."
"Then why didn't it eat you?"
"Because I guessed the riddle he made," Hagur said, "that's why he let me go."
Yu Zhen and William smiled at each other.
According to legend, Sphinx would guard a cliff and let passers-by guess a riddle, which is the animal walking with four feet in the morning.
But this is a legend that is well-known to everyone, and it is estimated that all five-year-olds know the answer.
Seeing that they didn't believe it much, Hagur continued, "You must believe me, and the riddle of Sphinx is not what folklore says."
"What kind of riddle is that?"
Before Hagur could answer, a dull voice suddenly rang out in the palace: "You will know."
"who?"
William looked around vigilantly, but what answered him was a strange wave of spiritual energy.
"S…Sphinx It…They came alive!"
In Hagur's panic voice, the stone statues on both sides of the golden passage actually came alive.
Their bodies have become golden from ordinary rocks, as if they are made of gold.
The statue of the sheep head and the spearheaded and the three of them surrounded them, while the statue of the eagle head and the spearheaded and "eyed" them in the air.
The smallest number of human heads and sphinx statues stand at the outermost position, looking like a group of commanders.
Faced with such a strange scene, William couldn't help but frown.
Because he did not feel any fluctuations of spiritual energy from these resurrected statues.
"Captain Yu, what's going on with these statues?"
"It's probably a problem with the material," Yu Zhen said, "or he used the method of hiding the fluctuations of spiritual energy."
Although it was easy to say, Yu Zhen also felt some dangers.
In the underground river, he had seen rat fish that could create spiritual holes. I guess this Sphinx used this method to make these statues.
The mouse fish are very small and do not have a strong subjective consciousness. They are only interested in spiritual energy, so they will not be attacked as long as they hide the fluctuations of spiritual energy.
But these statues are obviously different. They should be secretly manipulated by someone, so it will be a bit tricky to deal with.
"Those who want to pass the golden passage must guess my riddle." The dull voice continued, "If you guess correctly, you can move forward. If you guess wrong, you will become my food!"
"Pretending to be a ghost."
Yu Zhen shouted softly and attacked the statue with a sheep head and a spritz in front of him. More than a dozen scales of flying knives streaked across the vital points of its body at the same time.
sir-
There was only a sharp and harsh sound in the air, and a large number of sparks shone in the dim palace.
But even the scale flying knife filled with powerful Yuan Qi could not cut the skin of the statue, leaving only a few shallow marks on the surface of its body.
But the sharp edges of the flying knife in his hand were worn away.
This made Yu Zhen frown. Unexpectedly, with a fierce attack, he could not cause decent damage to these statues.
These statues are indeed a bit strange.
However, facing his attack, the statues seemed to be careless and continued to say in a dull voice: "Drawing round, writing square, winter time short, summer time. Please tell me your answer."
Yu Zhen:...
You, an animal in ancient Egyptian mythology, actually told a riddle of the senior class of the Chinese kindergarten. Are you serious?
"day."
“The answer is correct.”
As he said that, the statue with a sheep head and a spritz on the ground, he took a step in a clockwise direction, allowing the next statue to face Yu Zhen and the other two.
"Next!"
"There are two people living in the city. No matter how many troops shout, you will not open the door if you kill me."
Yu Zhen:...
Yu Zhen understood.
Guessing riddles or something is simply nonsense.
The manipulator behind these statues was not trying to guess a riddle with him, but was playing with him!
If he followed his thoughts, guessed one by one, and turned it right like a clock hand, then even if he could do every riddle, he would never leave this place in his life.
This is simply a joke, he is happy to make things!
Since this is the case, you cannot follow the route set by the other party, and you must do the opposite.
"have no idea."
"The answer is wrong!"
"attack!"
