Chapter 556
The Sphinx is fifty meters long, wearing a crown of Naims on the top of his head, fan-shaped Naims turbans drooping on both ears, a sacred serpent relief engraved on his forehead, a long beard with the symbol of the emperor on his chin, a collar around his neck, and an eagle's feather pattern dressed as a lion.
When Yang Ming stepped on the third floor of the maze, he seemed to disturb the slumber of this sphinx, and this sphinx suddenly opened his eyes, and a strange light bloomed in his eyes, as if he was extremely surprised because of Yang Ming's arrival.
"Huh? The Terrans are not dead yet? Perhaps
realizing that what he had just said was inappropriate, the sphinx immediately closed his mouth.
When he looked at the sphinx in front of him, Yang Ming's eyes froze.
In ancient mythology, the Sphinx was a monster born of giants and serpents: a human head, a lion's body, winged, named the Sphinx.
It is said that the Sphinx was cruel by nature, and he learned many riddles from the muse, the goddess of wisdom, and often guarded the main intersection. If every pedestrian wants to pass, he must guess a puzzle, guess wrong, eat it all, and countless people will suffer.
Once, when a king's son was eaten by the Sphinx, the king was furious and offered a reward: "Whoever can subdue him, give him the throne!"
The brave young Dipus was summoned by the king to take revenge. He walked and walked to the junction guarded by the Sphinx. "Young man, guess the mystery to let you pass."
The Sphinx took out one of the hardest and hardest to guess for him. "What is it to be able to make a sound that walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?"
"It's people." Clever Deppus quickly guessed.
Dippus triumphed, and he solved the mystery; But the Sphinx did not admit defeat and gave Dippes another riddle: "What grows first, then shortens, and finally grows longer?"
Dippus guessed the mystery "shadow", so the Sphinx was revealed and committed suicide to atone for his sins.
Of course, Yang Ming did not know whether the human-faced sphinx in front of him was the legendary Sphinx.
Even when the Hell Road puppet used the skill on the Sphinx, there was only a question mark in the name column.
Obviously, the strength of the human-faced sphinx in front of him was far beyond the Hell Dao puppet with demigod-level strength.
A suspected god-level monster?
At present, this is only the third layer of the maze, although the number of monsters appearing on the first and second floors of the maze is large, but it is also within a reasonable range, and it stands to reason that there cannot be god-level monsters here.
But obviously, the existence of building this trapezoidal pyramid is not the kind of person who likes to follow the rules, but to arrange a god-level monster in the third layer maze.
However, strangely, the moment this human-faced sphinx woke up, Yang Ming clearly felt the other party's fleeting killing intent, but when the other party discovered that he was a Terran, this killing intent disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
One person, one monster.
The two sides stared at each other, each with a ghost, and for a moment no one spoke, just silently looked at each other.
After a while, it was finally the human-faced sphinx that broke the deadlock, and the dull voice was like a pump of compressed air, echoing through the maze:
"It's rare that you haven't seen a Terran in so many years, if you want to pass through me and learn the secret behind this trapezoidal pyramid, you must answer my question."
"I am a god who masters the rules system, and in my domain, any living being must abide by the rules I set, and only by answering the questions I ask correctly can it pass smoothly from here."
"If you don't answer my question, and want to use other means, either by force or by smuggling, you will only enter a void space and teleport to any world."
"And if you answer my question wrong, you will be sealed with all your attributes and skills, and I will swallow it into your belly."
"Of course, you can also choose to leave from here, this is my last trace of mercy to the Terrans."
The tone of the human-faced sphinx is very calm, but the meaning of the words does reveal incomparable cruelty.
Yang Ming had also become a god before, and naturally he could easily sense that there was a strange power around him.
In the heavens and realms, there are many gods, and the fields they master are common in elemental systems, strange systems, and the rule system.
Yang Ming did not expect that there was actually a realm of rules in this world.
In this realm of rules, the Sphinx is able to make a game of rules that all living beings must follow.
The quiz game is the rules made by the sphinx in front of you in the field of rules.
Choose to answer the question to be able to move on.
Instead of answering questions, you either choose to go home or sneak over.
But obviously, Yang Ming was not the one who chose to give up so easily, he finally came to the third layer of the maze, and it was not his style to go back like this.
As for bypassing the human-faced sphinx and thus entering the depths of the pyramid, this one was also ruled out by Yang Ming.
Yang Ming did not believe the words of the human-faced sphinx, but he could feel that the moment the human-faced sphinx woke up, the space in this area had quietly undergone tremendous changes.
Perhaps in Yang Ming's eyes, behind the human-faced sphinx is still a wide corridor, but in fact, it may not be a corridor, but a spatial turbulence.
At the same time, Yang Ming's intuition told him that behind this trapezoidal pyramid, something very important awaited him.
Since he did not choose to escape, Yang Ming naturally chose to bravely face the difficulties.
"I choose to answer the question."
Hearing Yang Ming's answer, the human-faced sphinx seemed very happy, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smile that he thought was friendly.
But its actions involve the fall of mud and stones whose faces have weathered for many years, falling from east to west, making its face appear somewhat mutilated, and in the dim light, it looks particularly terrifying.
"History is a mirror that illuminates the present and the future, guiding us forward, inheriting and developing."
Just when Yang Ming thought that the human-faced sphinx was about to ask a historical question, the other party said coldly: "
Now, I want to ask you the most difficult question in the world."
