Chapter 616: Hourglass Reversal Tomb
"Ah... my mission is finally over..."

The Sphinx, in its lucky cat form, laughed with satisfaction, then turned malicious again.

"I am finally free!"

The Sphinx, which had been fixed in place and bullied by foreigners, gained its freedom and transformed from a stone statue into a stone monster.

【The Sphinx】

"You bastards! I'm not going to--"

"I'm sorry. Please forgive me."

The Sphinx surrendered as fast as it rose up. There was no way around it. It did not really become a stone monster, but rather a movable stone statue. In essence, it was still just a piece of stone and did not even have any skills.

If you must say, it has the ability to tell riddles and has a strong ability to be provocative during the battle, that is, to talk trash.

"How can you be so weak and still so confident?" Blaze asked the Sphinx, which had shrunk to the size of a human head, quite seriously.

"This is..." The Sphinx was quite embarrassed.

"You've been shrunk so small, but you're not dead yet." Dali Feizhuan was quite surprised at the state of the Sphinx. It had been smashed so small, but it's not dead yet, and there was no health bar.

"This is a great exchange of [power] and [life]."

"Exchange..." Blaze touched his chin, "You just said that we would exchange [the answer to a puzzle we answered] for [the answer to one of our puzzles you answered], what exactly is this exchange?"

"That is the miracle obtained by reciting the Jade Record..."

The Sphinx disappeared into Blaze's hands before he could finish his words. It was done by a stranger. The three words "Emerald Record" were like the dog-beast statue, which once again aroused their riot.

But this time Blaze could understand, because book-type equipment is quite rare, and can be used as both defense and weapon, and the "Emerald Record" mentioned by the Sphinx is most likely some kind of ancient book.

"It's so ugly." Dali Feizhuan looked at the people who were holding onto the Sphinx and bumping into each other like they were playing rugby, and shook his head helplessly, "They don't have the reserve that a top player should have at all."

Because he got the dropped item, Dali Feizhuan entered a Buddhist state.

Blaze shrugged. The stranger would soon calm down and then use negotiation to get information about the Emerald Record from the Sphinx. Nothing bad would happen.

Book-type props can be divided into several parts, and each page has the power of existing independently.

"Where is the place to go to the next level?"

Blaze started looking for the entrance to the next level. Although Hermanubis looked like a ferocious boss, he had not reached the bottom yet.

If this mausoleum is really an inverted triangle, then the depth is only half of it now.

The problem is that this three-dimensional maze is already an independent space, and there is no way to move to the next area.

Blaze closed his eyes and observed the entire three-dimensional maze from a blind perspective. It was actually in the shape of an hourglass, and the pedestal where the Sphinx was located was the center of the hourglass.

"Hourglass..."

Blaze muttered to himself, wondering for a moment what the builders meant by creating an hourglass-shaped space in the center of this three-dimensional maze.

When Dali Feizhuan, who was standing by, heard the hourglass, his face changed drastically and he suddenly covered his mouth, looking like he had eaten something bad.

"Hourglass, I'm going to vomit." The noise of Dali flying bricks was quite loud, and all the foreigners around heard it. They immediately stopped fighting for the Sphinx and stood still.

The Sphinx, who was still enjoying the feeling of being fought over, fell to the ground with a thud, and was hit hard.

"Hey! Humans, if you keep trying to please me, I will tell you about the Jade Record!"

"Hourglass, it's actually an hourglass!"

The Sphinx waved its claws hard, trying to attract the attention of the strangers, but all the strangers were attracted by the word hourglass and showed expressions as if they were in a nightmare.

"Ah~ Hourglass, if you keep fighting over me like you just did, I will tell you the secret of the hourglass."

"If we just turn the hourglass over, will the entire mausoleum also turn upside down, with the top becoming the bottom and the bottom becoming the top?"

"How did you know?" The Sphinx opened his mouth so wide that his jaw was about to dislocate.

That’s right, after all, this is the biggest secret of the entire mausoleum, but the stranger blurted it out.

Blaze was much calmer. The stranger had saved too many worlds and was knowledgeable. If he was shocked every time, wouldn't he appear to be very ignorant?

“An hourglass is something that has a built-in reversal gameplay. It is used as a hint in many situations, or it directly has the function of rotating a building. This way, more things can be hidden in a terrain, but if an hourglass exists, it also means another terrifying situation.”

Dali Feizhuan covered his mouth and spoke weakly, as if he had suffered a fatal attack.

"That means we have to reverse the building repeatedly. For example, if we want to go to the top of the pyramid now, but there is no way out, there must be other entrances. So we have to reverse the pyramid first so that the upper half of the pyramid appears on the ground, and then we leave the pyramid and enter the upper half of the pyramid from the outside."

"You even know this! This lower level is for suppressing monsters and slaves!" The Sphinx has begun to kneel down to the stranger.

"If you lose to Hermanubis, I will rotate the pyramid so that Hermanubis can never escape."

"That is to say, if you want to enter the top of the inverted pyramid, you have to leave some people in this hourglass device to cooperate with each other. This is very troublesome."

Dali Feizhuan covered his face and sighed. This design is really troublesome. However, if some players think that exploring the map of the dead in paper man mode is too troublesome, they can also reverse the position of the map of the living and the map of the dead, so that ordinary players can also experience the map.

This design is really user-friendly, but it reminds people of the disgusting maps with building reversals in other works. At least the reverse side of the pyramid is really full of treasures, while the reversals in other works are just to hide a mechanism or an insignificant prop.

"Blaze, you want to go to the top, right? I'll stay here and help you activate the mechanism." Dali Feizhuan took the initiative to be the person who activated the mechanism, helping Blaze and sacrificing himself.

The main reason is that he is exhausted and needs to log off and rest.

"Thank you, big..."

Before Blaze could even finish his thanks, other strangers raised their hands.

"We want to help too!"

They have seen through Dali Feizhuan's despicable act of flattery, and they will not let Dali Feizhuan succeed.

In this way, in order to obtain the dog statue in Blazer's hand, the stranger began to try his best to please him in a simple and unpretentious way.

That is to say, giving gifts.
