Vol 2 Chapter 688: 1 Combat

...
This is a "sphinx" (sphinx).
Magic part class level: XXXX. The Egyptian sphinx is a sphinx.
For more than a thousand years, it has been used by wizards to guard their precious objects and secret places. Sphinx is a very intelligent animal, like riddles and crossword puzzles. It usually becomes dangerous only when the things it guards are threatened.
It has the body of a big lion: huge minions, a long yellowish tail; and the head is the head of a woman.
When Harry got closer, the Sphinx rolled her eyes and stared at him. Harry raised his wand hesitantly.
She didn't squat down and pounced, but she kept walking back and forth between the two sides of the road, preventing Harry from moving forward. At this moment she spoke, her voice low and hoarse, "You are very close to the target, and the nearest method is to pass through me."
"Then, then, would you please give me a hand?" Harry asked, actually he knew what the answer would be. It's just that Harry felt that he was really weak to ask such questions.
"No," the female monster replied, and continued to walk there, "unless you can solve my riddle. I will let you pass if you answer it. If the answer is wrong, I will attack you. If you don't answer, I will Will let you go and won't hurt you."
After hearing this, Harry cried out inwardly.
Guessing is a good thing for Hermione, she's not good at it. But he thought about it over and over again. If the riddle is too difficult, he won't answer it, so that he can safely leave here and find another route.
"Okay," Harry replied, "make a question."
The Sphinx squatted down in the middle of the road and chanted aloud: "Please think of a person first. This person often hides his identity, acts secretly, and always lies if he doesn't tell the truth. Think about what will make up the most, but in the middle The end in the middle and the end? In the end, what do people always say when it is difficult to find a new word? Please string together and answer this question. What kind of animal do you want to kiss?"
Harry listened, his mouth wide open. "Can I listen to it once...can you slow down?" he asked.
Sphinx blinked, smiled, and read the poem again.
"That is to say that all the clues strung together equal the animals I don't want to kiss?" Harry asked again. She just smiled mysteriously. Harry thought this was equivalent to saying "right".
So Harry used his brain to meditate; there were many animals he didn't want to kiss. The first thing he thought of was the "Hurricane Monster", but this couldn't be the answer. It seemed that he had to try other clues...
"The person who hides the identity," Harry whispered, staring at the female monster, "this man always lies...um...maybe...a liar. No, don't worry, this is not my answer! A spy? Think of this first... Can you give me a clue?"
Sphinx read the last few lines of the poem again.
"The last thing to fix," Harry murmured, "Well, I can't figure it out...in the middle...can I repeat the ending again?"
Sphinx read the last four lines again.
"The sound that is often made when looking for difficult words in new words," Harry murmured, "Uh...that's uh. Yes, uh! That's the sound of ‘uh’!" The female monster smiled at him.
"Spy, uh, spy, uh," Harry walked around, repeating these words repeatedly, "an animal I don't want to kiss... by the way, it's a spider!"
(Editor's note: In English, "spy" is "spy", "er" is "er", and "spider" is "spider".)
The female monster smiled at this moment. She stood up, stretched her forelegs, and stepped aside to let Harry pass. "Thank you!" Harry said hurriedly, never expecting to be so good. He continued to move forward.
He is getting closer and closer to the center of the labyrinth, but he is still not sure... The wand told him that he is walking right now, as long as he doesn't encounter any major difficulties, he may win...
There are several paths ahead.
"Show me the way!" Harry ordered to his wand. "Poineme!"
The wand turned and stopped and pointed to the path to the right.
He ran down this road.
After a while, Harry saw a bright light ahead. Less than a hundred yards away, the "Goblet of Fire" was shining on the base.
This is the point, after experiencing so many things...
In fact, his luck was good, at least he didn't encounter anything. However, can it really end so peacefully?
Compared to Fleur or Krum, Harry's experience seemed a little too little. He didn't do anything at all except to clear out some small dark creatures.
Harry's heart was a little unstable. Perhaps his biggest test was the level of Sphinx. The Sphinx is a very powerful magic creature. The place she guards is no less than the treasure guarded by the dragon. , But Harry answered the question from the Sphinx,
In this way, the Sphinx would not attack him, she was just guarding an intersection.
So, this is the test of the maze?
Undeniably, Harry's nervous mood never left, especially when he saw the goblet of fire not far away, Harry's nervous mood became even stronger.
Just run over by yourself and grab it with your hands.
It's that simple.
Harry settled, and just as Harry was about to run over, a dark figure jumped out and ran forward.
It looks like Cedric will arrive before Harry.
Cedric was running towards the trophy at full speed. Harry knew he couldn't keep up with him. Cedric was taller than himself and had longer legs... Suddenly Harry saw a behemoth leaping out of the hedge on his left, straight along the intersection. Rush over.
The monster ran so fast that Cedric was about to hit it. At this time, Cedric was only looking at the trophy, and did not see the monster rushing straight forward...
"Cedric!" Harry yelled, tearing his throat desperately, "On your left! Be careful!"
Cedric turned his head and saw that he flew over in time~EbookFREE.me~ didn't hit the monster, but because of his rush, Cedric was tripped by the vines on the ground.
The wand flew out of Cedric's hand instantly.
At this moment the monster... a giant spider stepped onto the path and began to push Cedric.
"Stupefy (fainted)!" Harry yelled quickly, and as soon as Harry's wrist turned, a Stupefy Curse was hit.
The spell hit the giant hairy body of the spider. But this blow seemed useless. It was like throwing a small stone. The spider became angry, and suddenly turned around and ran towards Harry.
"Stupefy! Stupefy!" Harry kept yelling, but none of the spells were useful... Maybe the spider was too big and amazing, and the ordinary spells didn't hurt it, but it angered it.
Harry looked up and saw the spider just in time. The eight black eyes glowed aggressively, and several giant pincer-like stings were sharp as blades, stupidly pounced.
The spider lifted Harry up, and Harry struggled desperately, kicking him constantly, but Harry's feet were still caught by his tongs.
In the severe pain, he heard Cedric also yelling the coma spell, but his spell was also useless.
At this time, the spider opened its sting again, saying that it was too late and soon, and Harry raised his wand and shouted, "Expelliarmus (except your weapon)!"
This time it worked.
The "disarming curse" forced the spider to loosen the tongs. Unfortunately, this loose caused Harry to fall from a height of twelve feet, and immediately straddled his injured thigh.
Without thinking about it, Harry took his wand and pointed it at the spider's abdomen, and cast spells at the same time as Cedric.
"Sectumsempra (Shen Feng Wuying)!"
"Stupefy (fainted)!"
