Mystic Dominator

"Alright alright……"

Although the expression was very shocked, the Sphinx still strictly followed his own settings.

So when Ronald said the correct answer, it quickly adjusted its posture, and then said with a dignified and beautiful expression:

"Adventurer, congratulations on answering my question correctly."

"Then now as a reward for answering two questions correctly at once, you can choose - or, now I will give you the reward for passing the question and answer. Or you can also, as the rules allow, let me provide you with some small help."

"How are you going to choose, adventurer?"

"..."

Hearing the reward provided by the Sphinx, Ronald lowered his gaze and immediately had an idea:

"I choose the latter, and I need you to do me a favor."

"Speaking."

"You should know that there are a lot of evil pursuers in the rear, chasing the two of us. So I hope you can ask them very difficult questions and help us buy as much time as possible."

Hearing Ronald's request, the Sphinx looked extremely happy.

The monster guarding the labyrinth did not propose any additional conditions, and nodded directly to agree to Ronald's request:

"Very good proposal!"

"Adventurer, you can trust me."

"That group of guys who are chasing you, it is absolutely impossible to pass my obstacles in a short time!"

"..."

"Roar--"

It was a very coincidence.

Just as the Sphinx's voice fell to the ground, Ronald heard the sound of claws running on the ground and the sound of monsters roaring behind him.

Turn around.

It was Bai Chuan's predator that rushed out from the corner of the labyrinth at this moment.

Even in the cartoon world constructed by "The Labyrinth Picture Book", the terrifying shapes of these guys can still be glimpsed.

On the hideous appearance of the limbs crawling on the ground, the whole body's white skin is covered with terrifying spikes, and the large mouth with dense fangs can't even close normally.

See the shape of the predatory individual.

Ronald has no doubts - if it is in reality, ordinary people may only be swallowed alive when they encounter such a terrible guy.

"..."

"Nicole, let's go!"

Seeing that the other party was chasing after him, Ronald grabbed Nicole's small thick hand, almost dragged the investigator girl, and passed the Sphinx sitting position together.

During the whole process, the Sphinx smiled and watched the two pass by, and then turned to look at the predatory individual who had just arrived:

"Little guys, wait a minute."

"I have a guessing challenge here, would you like to try it?"

Behind Ronald and Nicole, the Sphinx naturally obediently stopped Bai Chuan's predatory individuals.

However, something unexpected happened.

These scary guys don't have the higher intelligence to communicate with people. When faced with the obstruction of the Sphinx, they were like real beasts, roaring and pounced on the guy in front of them.

"presumptuous!"

For these guys who dared to challenge their own rules, the Sphinx roared and swooped forward in sync with the lower body of a lion.

There is no suspense in what happened to both sides.

The first group of predators to chase over were caught by this terrifying monster almost in the blink of an eye.

clap clap clap-

Soon, the sound of dense flesh and bones breaking sounded.

In just a moment, there was only a pool of wreckage left at the foot of the Sphinx, and no living creatures remained.

And after completing this unsuspenseful massacre in a few seconds.

The Sphinx slowly returned to his original position, then sat down with a dignified posture, and turned his head to smile at Ronald who saw this scene.

"..."

Although the guy didn't speak, Ronald also read its meaning.

——Adventurer, am I doing a good job?

"..."

Ronald nodded to the other party quite politely, and then dragged Nicole to continue running towards the depths of the maze.

Maintaining this state, the two moved forward for a while.

After being dragged around in the air by Ronald for a while, Nicole suddenly woke up:

"Ronald, what was the problem just now!"

"I don't understand your conversation at all?"

Ronald immediately explained to Nicole:

"The one just now was the Sphinx. In mythology, it was a monster who stopped passers-by and killed people with riddles."

"As for its riddles, there are actually two, one of which is - what animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night. The answer is naturally human, because this riddle is a metaphor for human childhood, middle age and old age.”

"The second riddle - there is a pair of sisters, the elder sister gave birth to the younger sister, and the younger sister gave birth to the elder sister. The answer to the riddle actually hints at the rhythm of day and night."

Nicole suddenly realized.

"I see, that's a good riddle!"

"Next time I meet with people in the bureau, I can also use this question to test them."

Ronald looked back at Nicole.

The investigator girl looked indifferent now, as if she didn't take the urgent situation to heart at all.

Faced with this guy's carefree appearance.

Ronald suddenly had some thoughts, so he continued:

"And one more thing. Although this guy has a very beautiful face, he is actually a male."

"Huh? It's a man!" Nicole's eyes widened as expected, and soon asked in disbelief. "How is that possible? It looks so beautiful!"

Ronald went on to explain:

"Because after all, the Sphinx is a monster."

"If we can't answer its questions correctly, the fate of those predatory individuals just now will also befall us, and the appearance is just something it uses to hide its viciousness."

"..."

The truth was told by Ronald.

The interest that Nicole had just mentioned disappeared immediately.

After walking in the labyrinth guarded by the Sphinx, the two continued to crack the labyrinth and trek to the south.

It turns out.

Sphinxes are very effective at deterring predatory individuals.

It took Nicole and Ronald a full day to finally get out of this unbelievably huge maze. During this time, they did not encounter any additional disturbances, not even hearing predators chasing them.

The two breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked towards the exit of this frost maze.

And in this last moment.

Nicole looked back at the scene behind her with some emotion:

"Ronald~www.readwn.com~ I don't think I'll ever want to go through this maze again in my life"

"..."

Nicole said this with some emotion, but there was silence around her.

She couldn't wait for Ronald's response

When the investigator girl realized something, and then turned her eyes to the front, only then did she again understand what the two were facing now.

Because it is right in front of them.

A section of water several kilometers wide blocked in front of them.

What's worse, when the two of them tried to swim across this place, they found that the edge of the sea was protected by the rules of the "Maze Picture Book" game.

Just walking on the edge of the water, they can't move on.

Not to mention swimming through here!
