Chapter 866 Getting Out of the Maze

"Alright alright……"

Although her expression was very shocked, the Sphinx still strictly abided by her 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."

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

"How do you plan to choose, adventurer?"

"..."

After hearing the reward provided by the Sphinx, Ronald lowered his eyes and immediately had an idea:

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

"Speaking."

"You should know that there are many 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."

Upon hearing Ronald's request, the Sphinx looked extremely happy.

The monster guarding the maze did not put forward any additional conditions, and directly nodded and agreed to Ronald's request:

“A very good suggestion!”

"Adventurer, you can trust me."

"It's absolutely impossible for those guys who are chasing you to pass through my obstacle in a short time!"

"..."

"Roar--"

It just so happened.

Just as the Sphinx finished speaking, Ronald heard claws running on the ground and the sound of monsters roaring from behind.

Turn around and look.

It was Bai Chuan's predator that rushed out from the corner of the maze.

Even in the cartoon world built in "Maze Picture Book",

You can still get a glimpse of the terrifying appearance of these guys.

Its limbs crawled on the ground in a ferocious appearance, its white skin was covered with terrifying spikes, and its large mouth covered with fangs could not even be closed normally.

See the appearance of predatory individuals.

Ronald had no doubt about one thing - if in reality, ordinary people would only end up being eaten alive if they encountered such a terrifying guy.

"..."

"Nicole, let's go!"

Seeing the other party chasing after her with a ferocious attitude, Ronald grabbed Nicole's thick hand and almost dragged the investigator girl past where the Sphinx was sitting.

During the whole process, the Sphinx smiled and watched the two people pass, and then turned to look at the predator that had just arrived:

"Little guys, wait a moment."

"I have a guessing challenge here, do you want to try it?"

Behind Ronald and Nicole, the Sphinx naturally obeyed the rules and blocked Baichuan's predatory individuals.

However, something unexpected happened.

These scary guys don't have the advanced wisdom to communicate with others. When faced with the obstruction of the Sphinx, they roared and pounced on the guy in front of them like real beasts.

"presumptuous!"

For those who dared to challenge their own rules, the Sphinx roared and lunged forward simultaneously with the lower body of the lion.

There is no suspense about what happened to both sides.

The first batch of predatory individuals that came after them were choked by this terrifying monster in almost the blink of an eye.

Snap, snap, snap—

Soon, there was a dense sound of bones and flesh breaking.

In just a moment, there was only a pool of debris under the Sphinx's feet, without any living creatures left.

And after completing this unsuspicious massacre in a few seconds.

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

"..."

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

——Adventurer, I did a good job, right?

"..."

Ronald nodded politely to the other party, and then dragged Nicole and continued to run wildly into the depths of the maze.

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

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

"Ronald, what was the question just now!"

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

Ronald immediately explained to Nicole:

"That one just now was the Sphinx. Originally in mythology, it was a monster that blocked passers-by and killed people with riddles."

"As for its riddles, there are actually two. One is - what animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening. The answer is naturally human beings, 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 older sister. The answer actually hints at the rhythm of day and night."

It dawned on Nicole.

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

"Next time I get together with people from the bureau, I can also test them with this question."

Ronald looked back at Nicole.

The investigator girl now had a calm look on her face, and she seemed not to have cared about the urgent situation just now.

Faced with this guy's careless look.

Ronald suddenly had some ideas, so he continued:

"And another thing is, although this guy has a very pretty face, he is actually a male."

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

Ronald continued to explain:

"Because at the end of the day, the Sphinx is a monster."

"If we cannot answer its questions correctly, the fate of those predatory individuals will also befall us. The appearance is just something it uses to hide its evil."

"..."

Ronald told the truth.

Nicole's interest immediately dissipated.

After walking through the maze guarded by the Sphinx, the two continued to decipher the maze and trekked south.

It turns out.

Sphinxes are very effective in blocking predators.

It took Nicole and Ronald a full day to finally get out of this incredibly huge maze. During this period, they did not encounter any additional disturbance, and they did not even hear the movement of predators chasing them.

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

And in this last moment.

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

"Ronald, I don't think I want to walk through this kind of 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 turned her gaze forward, she finally understood what the two of them were facing now.

Because it's right in front of them.

A stretch of seawater several kilometers wide blocked them in front of them.

What's even more terrible is that when the two tried to swim across here, 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 prevented them from going any further.

Not to mention swimming across it!
