Chapter 189: The mystery of Sphinx

"... So, the last one! The task that the warriors are about to challenge is to recapture some of the most precious treasure for them in this huge thorny maze!"
"Yes, they must find their belongings and take them out of the maze!"
"Hello, everyone, our warriors are already here! As soon as I whistle, the second project will officially start! They have a full three hours to find the right path for them. Now, I count To three ... "
"one two Three!"
The sharp whistle echoed in the cold, still air, and there was a burst of cheers and applause from the stands. And the second item of the long-awaited three-strong hegemony, the journey of thorn maze, has finally begun!
Just when the whistle sounded, the four warriors broke into four different entrances. Everyone is fast, because the time is limited this time, they have no room to continue at the entrance.
The so-called "most precious treasure" is actually very clear to the four warriors.
Because in their respective boxes, in addition to the one-eighth size map, there was also a delicate magic card. If someone picks it up, it will reveal an object on someone who has a good feeling for the holder.
According to Maca's judgment, one of the main functions should be some application of "name magic mechanics". There are many similar gadgets in the Joko Magic Joke Shop.
Perhaps Dumbledore simply changed it with some kind of props in Zoko's store.
What appeared on that card of Maca was a small carrot earring-the answer was already clear, Luna should be waiting for him in a corner of the maze now!
Maca didn't hesitate, he walked quickly through the maze, and sometimes he stretched out his wand and waved it, blocking a thorn tentacle from the thorn wall towards his back.
It was a dark-green, sharp-edged tentacle. They are not the same as the Devil's Net. Open flames dispel them very poorly, because it is very difficult to ignite them.
On their tentacle surfaces, they are usually covered with a fine cuticle. In addition to fire protection, the resistance to cutting is also quite good. About three centuries ago, wizards often used them to protect their homes.
It's just that such thorns of doom are rare now, and it's not known where Dumbledore brought such a big piece.
"Speaking of which, throwing a fire bottle in such a place should work well."
The thorns of doom is also a kind of magic plant and the danger is quite high. The Ministry of Magic once classified it into the "xxxx" classification level. It was only because they were getting smaller in number that they were finally lowered by one level.
But as long as you don't tangle with them, and always pay attention to behind them, they will be much less dangerous during the day like this.
The maze has many forks and is arranged in a disorderly manner. When Maca walked along a wall, he found that the maze must have many independent walls that were not connected to each other before and after.
If he keeps walking along a wall, I'm afraid he can only walk outside the maze. The fragment of the map in his hand is undoubtedly a certain area closer to the center.
Since he can't make a trick, he can only explore the road according to his intuition.
While walking cautiously, Maca pressed her wand against the back of the fragment of the map and recorded the route she had taken in real time. From time to time, he had to block the thorns from his tentacles.
In order to maintain speed, he has to split his heart as much as possible-this is not a very simple thing for Maca.
Soon, when he turned around a corner again, his eyes widened.
This is a small piece of open space in the maze. There is no other way around the open space except the exit when he came here-this is a dead end.
But why leave a small piece of space here? This can easily lead to suspicion.
"Humanoid stands."
With the front of the wand, a secret wave of magic spread out, but there was no response.
"Malicious perception."
Another wave of completely different magic waves spread quietly, and Maca stood firmly at the only exit, waiting calmly, but still no feedback was detected.
He frowned, wondering whether to put it here for a while, and wait for more exploration.
"Last time," Maca thought as she meditated. "Gaze."
Suddenly, the sound of wind constantly whizzing over the maze, the trembling sound of trembling thorns around the maze, the sound of biological activity around the maze, and even various odors quickly intertwined, forming in his mind a Clear stereo perception.
Something does move in this open space, and the speed is very slow. It is a creature that relies on two feet to walk—the sound of breathing and the slight friction of sound when walking, but its outline cannot be sensed.
In addition, Maca smelled a fresh grassy smell.
"In that position ..." Maca suddenly took a small step to the left, avoiding the thorny tentacles sneaked from behind her, and her wand pointed at a certain place in the open space.
"The original is here!"
As Marca's spell was read, the position pointed by his stick suddenly darkened, and an ape-like creature suddenly appeared in shape.
Unlike ordinary apes, the creature's eyes are completely black, like two round ink jade inlaid in its eye sockets, with a faint luster.
Because his stealth effect was suddenly broken, it made it look very panic. It looked around, hovering around constantly, as far away as possible from Maca.
But it soon discovered that there was no other way out.
"Invisible Beast?"
Makam murmured softly in his mouth, while a firelight slammed silently at the creature from the tip of his staff, speeding abnormally.
It can be seen that this creature is not good at fighting. Before he even responded, he was hit directly by Maca's silent stun spell.
The other side fell forward without a doubt and fell into syncope.
Maca hurried forward, flipping around at will, and found a small envelope behind this invisible beast, which contained another piece of a different maze map.
He hesitated, and then glanced subconsciously in the direction of the auditorium before finally turning away.
"Unfortunately, the fur of stealth beasts is not cheap ..."
Although the wall of the labyrinth was set high, it was an open space after all. If he dared to peel it off on the spot, it would be more than just a penalty.
Just then, there was a sudden explosion in the distance, followed by a girl screaming. If Maca didn't hear it wrong, it should be the voice of Fleur Delacour.
It seems that other people did not have such luck, and only met a herbivorous creature with a mild temperament.
Although the classification level of Stealth Beast is very high, it is mainly because its stealth effect is really excellent. It can be said that the value of its fur alone is enough to make it rank "xxxx".
However, Maca's good luck can only come here.
Although it wasn't really bad for him, but how terrible it would take time to solve it?
When he followed the original route range and re-choose a fork road to continue, he found that the maze that was originally unobstructed was gradually covered by a dark mist.
The light was blocked by the mist, and the surrounding environment became darker.
In this case, the sneak attack of the thorns of doom becomes even more dangerous-only if the environment is dark enough and only if they are enough in number, their danger will be greatly increased, and they are truly regarded as dangerous List "xxxx" magic creatures.
In this case, another problem was blocked in front of Maca ...
This was a long, straight path, and as Maca proceeded carefully, he noticed movement again. A glowing wand has been emitting from just now, and an extremely strange monster appeared from the darkness.
Its body resembles a scary lion--the huge claws, the yellow long tail, and the pinch of gray hair on the tip of the tail make it more like a lion. UU reading books www. uukanshu.com
But it has a woman's head!
"Sphynx?"
When Maca approached slowly, she aimed her long almond eye at Maca.
Then, instead of squatting down, he was ready to pounce, but just walking around to block his way. Then he spoke, his voice low and hoarse.
"You can get closer to your goal, and the quickest way is to get the most accurate tips from me-"
"Hurry up and tell your riddle ..." Maca hurriedly turned away the thorny tentacles that had become active again, urging at the same time.
"Yes, riddles ..." It paced gracefully in place, "One guess-I'll let you pass; If I don't guess-I'll pounce; If you don't answer-I'll let you go away No harm to you. "
"Yes, let's say it!" Maca waved.
Sphinx nodded slightly, he squatted in the middle of the passage, and said in a deep voice:
"Think first about something that doesn't rise or fall, it accompanies you and goes with it ..."
"What's more, never tell a lie, it tells you the real illusion ..."
"When you move forward with them, you will understand the gaps in life, understand the old days."
Seeing Sphinx finish these words, he closed his eyes and stopped moving, and Maca could not help but pat his forehead.
"I knew that the riddle of this thing was unreliable. Who knew that Bitrie Lawney's prediction was still vague ..." He sighed and had to think about it while continually blocking back the thorns.
The three sentences spoken by Sphinx at the end of the chapter are actually a combined riddle. Maca let him push for a while, and everyone can take a guess while the next chapter is updated (hint: the first two sentences are a single riddle, and the three sentences together are another riddle).
