Chapter 389 Sphinx Puzzle(1/2)
Soon, Levice followed the guidance of the battle priest Codya and went to look for their commander Reanhart, but the target person did not find it, Levice met some guys chasing him halfway.
There were about twenty pioneer cavalrymen running in front, and the goblins riding four or five times the eight-clawed spider chased after them. The pioneer cavalrymen slowed down from time to time, and then raised their weapons to aim at the spider cavalry behind to shoot.
Even on the bumpy horseback, these pioneers showed a very good hit rate. With the roar of muskets, the four or five spiders in the front were sieve together with the goblins on their backs. Then they drove the war horses again, stretching the distance again, preparing for the next chance to attack. They were actually flying kites with their speed advantage!
Levitra immediately became interested. The tactic of flying kites seems simple, but it is not easy to operate, especially for the indigenous people.
Before this, the most well-known of the indigenous people should be the wood elves, because they have a large amount of attribute bonuses in the forest, especially movement speed and hit rate, so they can play like this, but it often requires a leading command.
However, Levitra did not find any units suspected to be commanders among these Pioneer Attendant. So these Pioneer Attendant may have received targeted professional training before this, so they can be so proficient in the series of slowing down, aiming, attacking, and re-accelerating processes. This is very likely the training result of the Leonhart Commander!
"It's interesting, but now you don't have to work so hard. Huameis leads the team to charge and kill those spider cavalry. I'll ask these pioneer cavalry where their boss is."
"Okay, leave it to me, Levith!"
Huameis immediately responded happily, and then led nearly half of the cavalry to launch an assault. If anyone was in a good mood recently, she must be one of them, because since Levice frequently participated in the charge, all the command tasks that were originally her were taken over by Levice, and she finally didn't have to worry so much anymore!
When the pioneers saw Levitra and others who came up with him on their own, they still maintained a certain degree of vigilance, but they did not have any obvious hostility.
There is no way, there are too many evil and powerful aliens in this world. In contrast, humans do not have obvious advantages in many fields except for population, so this forces humans to give up internal struggle and join forces to unite and work hard for survival.
So when I see other humans in the wild, even if I don’t know the forces they belong to, they often have a certain kindness between them. What humans come is always much better than the beastmen, undead people, or green skins.
Of course, the Nosca pirates are not among them. They worship the evil god of Chaos and robbed everywhere, and have long become enemies of all races in the old world. Whether it is humans or green skins, they will never show mercy when they encounter them.
The only exception is probably the Dark Elf, because the Dark Elf itself is not a productive product, and they need to capture other races as slaves in large quantities. However, because of the Dark Elf's cruel personality and the heavy tasks they have assigned, those slaves rarely live too long. This is also the reason why the Dark Elf captures slaves every day, because for them, slaves are a consumable and will never be enough.
Levitra quickly revealed his identity and mentioned the name of the battle priest Codya, gaining the trust of these pioneers. Then he learned from the other party that their commander Reinhardt was alone in a valley not far away, circling with Snagra Poison and two giant spiders. Under the order of their commander, they tried to constantly eliminate these spider cavalry through mobile warfare, and then they could go back to help their commander.
Levitra couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard this, "One person picks two big spiders? Do you want to be so fierce? How long will it take to kill all these spider cavalry?"
After all, that big spider is a giant monster of level 6, and is extremely powerful. Among everyone who Levi is currently aware of, there are probably only a few people who can fight and win steadily, such as Ms. Black and Beast Butcher. The remaining Knights Arthur, Viscount Renard, etc., are probably not able to catch them.
When one person challenges two big spiders, even if this team leader Ryanhart is not as good as Ms. Hei, he is at least a legendary figure of the same level, right? But why have I never heard of it before? Or, that guy is actually just showing off his strength?
Despite his doubts, Wammes was still fighting there, and Levitra didn't want to watch it alone. He joined the battle with the remaining cavalry and the war chariots. The pioneers chose to follow without hesitation, and seemed to be very loyal to their regiment commander.
Under the crushing of strength, about a hundred spider cavalry were killed in the blink of an eye, and Levith began to march directly into the direction of the valley.
A few hundred meters away, Levith heard strange roars coming from the valley. At the same time, they were close, and the ground could feel a slight vibration. It seemed that a fierce battle was happening in the valley, and both sides of the battle had a considerable size and quite high power, otherwise there would not be such movement.
The pioneer cavalry behind them exclaimed, obviously worried about their boss, but Levitra breathed a little relieved. Because a battle happened, it proved that the leader was not dead yet. He was really powerful. He could actually hold on for so long under the hands of two big spiders at level 6 at the ends and a hero of a land elite!
But when Levitra led his troops into the valley, the scene he saw was different from what he imagined.
There are indeed two 6th-level Araknari giant spiders there, and they are indeed fighting, but their opponent is not human, but a sphinx with a body larger than the Araknari giant spider, more than ten meters from head to tail, and it looks like a sphinx consisting of hard stones!
At this moment, the Sphinx was fighting against two, and it seemed to have the upper hand. The two big spiders were covered with wounds. There were also many places on the ground with light green liquid, and many places were corroded by their body fluids. Obviously, they suffered a lot of losses, but the Sphinx's rock-like body only showed some slight cracks in a few unimportant parts, and obviously they were not injured at all.
Judging from its actions, it must be the backup plan left by the Commander Ryanhart!
The Sphinx waved a giant claw of several square meters to repel the two large spiders, then tilted his head in anthropomorphic way and looked in the direction where Levitra and others were, "Oh, a new human has appeared again, and it looks like some special little guys. Little guy, it seems that you are their leader, so are you willing to play a game with Sphinx?"
With the words of the giant Sphinx who called himself Sphinx, Levith found a taskbar popping up in front of him: "Would you participate in Sphinx's puzzle mission?"
"Note: If you successfully answer the Sphinx puzzle, you will receive a generous reward, but if you answer the wrong answer, or refuse to participate, Sphinx will be angry because of being contemptuous. Except for those who have answered the puzzle correctly, all the creatures present will have to bear the flames of their anger."
At the same time, there is a 15-second countdown next to it, which seems to be urging him to make a choice as soon as possible.
"I'll go!"
Even though he was as calm as Levitra, he had the urge to roll his eyes for a moment. This was the first time he encountered such an unreasonable task. Judging from the meaning of this, whether it was the failure of the task or the refusal to accept the task, the Sphinx, more than ten meters long in front of him, would become his enemy.
If you add the two 6th-level spiders next to you, and Snagra Poison who doesn’t know where to hide, how many enemies do you have to deal with at the same time? You don’t give me the right to choose at all!
And that 15-second countdown seemed to remind Levitra that if he didn't make a good choice, he might have to live for another 15 seconds.
However, Livius soon discovered that after Sphinx finished speaking, the two big spiders did not move at all. They did not attack Sphinx again, nor did they turn around to attack their new humans, and even had no change in their posture. They looked like they were casting magic of time stopping. The origin of this Sphinx may be more amazing than they imagined!
Levith immediately chose to accept the task.
As he moved, Sphinx's rocky face seemed to have a smile. It was like fiddling with a toy, and pulled the two big spiders aside. Then it stretched like a domestic cat, then folded its forearms, and then placed its huge head directly on it. The big eyeballs with a diameter of more than half a meter were fixedly looking at Levith.
"Very good. I didn't expect that after experiencing so long dormancy, I met two little guys who dared to play games with me in a row, and they were all humans. It seems that humans are much more courageous than before."
Before Levitra could figure out what the other party said meant, Sphinx asked impatiently, "So little guy, the game is now on."
"Ask a question, what kind of creatures can sleep while wearing iron shoes?"
???
Levitra was stunned.
After a long time of work, my heart beat faster and my speed was so scared that I could only ask questions of this level? Even a primary school student can't stand this question, right?
Sphinx was completely unaware of Levi’s inner activities. It just looked at the dull little man in front of him with great joy. Although he didn’t know how many years he had slept, his puzzle was also so unsolvable to these little guys. He really deserves to be me!
The little guy just now must have been lucky enough to get it right. He wanted to move his muscles and bones for a while, so he agreed to the other party's request and clean up these two little spiders!
While Sphinx was intoxicated by himself, it suddenly heard the villain in front of him speak.
"It's the horse that fell with a horse's hoof."
"Um?"
Even the body made up of Sphinx Rock, Levith and others could clearly see Sphinx's big eyes staring round. Now the diameter is probably more than one meter, obviously it is in a state of shock.
Sphinx couldn't help but murmured to himself: "How is it possible? Are humans now so smart?"
However, based on its size, its murmuring was louder than the dwarf's roar for Levitra and others, so Levitra immediately had a clue. This Sphinx probably lost to Captain Reanhart, so he was willing to deal with the two giant spiders.
But seeing that the big spider who had returned to normal but had been staying aside until now, without any intention of attacking him, Levi was a little new suspicious for a moment. This power and this shocking power are probably not combined, right? The other party was just playing there just now?
Speaking of which, Sphinx has many identities in the real world, but there is also a guess among them, saying that the other party is the patron saint of Egypt's pyramids and temples. If the other party has a similar status here, it seems that such a thing can be done. The patron saint, the patron saint, has the word "god" in it...
Levitra's brain was spinning here quickly, and the Sphinx on the other side slowly recovered. It held its head up and said, "Very good, little guy, I just wanted to see your level, so I deliberately chose a simple puzzle for you. So now are you willing to continue our game?"
The system prompt popped up again. Levitra glanced and found that there was not much difference from just now. It was just that the rich reward was added with the word "more". It seemed that in order to encourage Levitra to agree, the other party increased the reward.
But Levitra thinks this is completely unnecessary, because after seeing the real power displayed by the other party when dealing with the two big spiders, he knew that he probably had no right to refuse at all.
However, if the other party can only ask puzzles of that level, even if there are thirty or fifty ones, it may not be any threat to you. I hope the other party won't be angry in the end...
“I accept.”
"Haha, very good I like smart and brave humans like you. Although I don't know how long I slept, no matter what era, there are not many humans like you."
It seems that because Levitra accepted the continued game, Sphinx seemed particularly excited. It no longer called Levitra "little guy", but began to call his race. This is somewhat of a big and small progress.
"So listen, human, my second question is, you cut my head with a knife, and you cry on the side when I die, so what am I?"
Haha, Levitra secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, he shouldn't have expectations for the other party. This thing is really not difficult. If the other party only knows this level of puzzle, then he can answer it until tomorrow!
But after all, the other party is now big. In order to take care of Sphinx's face, Levitra deliberately thought hard, and then when the other party reminded him to answer as soon as possible, he suddenly said the answer.
"I thought it was an onion, it must be an onion!"
"Ah?" Sphinx, who originally thought he was sure to win, was stunned. It even suspected that it was coming. Could it be that its puzzle was too outdated?
But Sphinx immediately shook his big stone head quickly. No, it must be that the human opposite was too lucky. He had just thought about it for so long before he happened to think about the answer. This time he wanted to limit the other party a time!
After thinking through it, Sphinx slightly recovered some morale, and it spoke again, "Very good, human, I saw courage, wisdom, and luck in you. Maybe you are willing to play with me for the last time?"
Another system prompt popped up, but there was not much change this time, but the one that just now was more generous and very generous, but Levitra still had no right to refuse.
And even if there is no mission prompt, Levitra knows that if he won two games in a row and rejected the other party, he would definitely die miserably!
“I accept.”
"Okay, human, next is my third question."
Sphinx no longer put his big head on his forearm, but straightened his body and said very seriously:
“The person who invented it doesn’t want it,?
The person who bought it doesn't need it,?
Those who need it don't know it.
So, what is it?"
"I want to add another condition this time. I will only give you 300 seconds to think." Sphinx then added, and became a little proud of his new idea. Sure enough, it is really worthy of me. In the future, this condition should be attached to other little guys!
Levitra sighed secretly. Sure enough, he shouldn't have any expectations for Sphinx's puzzle. Although it seems that the difficulty has increased slightly, at most it has been promoted from the third grade of elementary school to the fourth grade. There are still 300 seconds, and I feel like a waste of time in 30 seconds!
?However, in order to take care of the other party's face, Levitra pretended to think for more than two hundred seconds before answering the other party: "It's the coffin."
Levitra originally thought that after he finished speaking, the other party would yell, expressing incredible things, but unexpectedly, Sphinx didn't move for a moment, and instead seemed to be in a daze.
Just as Levitra was worried that the other party would be angry, he secretly gestured to the back, signaling his subordinates to prepare for battle, but Sphinx suddenly spoke.
"Maybe I was wrong. It's not that my puzzle is wrong, but that your wisdom transcends my puzzle, just like I once encountered, the little guy named Sigma, of course he is just a human. Oh, it's too far," Sphinx seemed to have awakened something and quickly began to change the topic. "Human, I am the patron saint of the pyramids and temples of Nehekara, the god of riddles-Sphinx, please tell me your name."
Even though there were speculations, at this moment, Levitra couldn't help but feel a little excited. Although it seemed to be nothing on the surface, the other party was a god after all!
"Hello, I am a kingdom knight from Batonia, the God-Choose hero Levith." Levith stroked his chest with one hand and bowed. The other party was a god at least, and he could not suffer much if he gave a bow.
"Is Leviz from Batonia? Is that woman's territory?" Sphinx seemed to frowned, but he nodded at the end, "Very good, I'll write down this name. But I have a request now, you have asked three puzzles, so can you give me one?"
There was no system prompt this time, which means that this was not a task, but Levitra did not take it lightly because the other party was obviously not convinced...
"This is not impossible, but the puzzles circulating in my hometown may not be the kind you like."
"Oh, that's okay. I can expand my thinking." Sphinx became a little interested.
To be continued...
