Chapter 60 Three Riddles
Three riddles?

This damned Sphinx, could it be the legendary old Riddler?

Live an ancient Egyptian legend here?
Zhou Yu thought for a while.

"It's fine to answer your riddle, but I also need to have enough time to think."

He could only agree temporarily.

In his head, he was thinking about ways to escape.

"listen!"

The Sphinx spread its wings slightly, and its eyes sparkled with wisdom.

It's about to start asking questions!

"My first riddle was: If a man were standing in a boat on a lake and threw a stone into the water, what would happen to the water level on the lake?"

"Is it rising or falling, or is it unchanged? You have half a minute to think."

……

The Sphinx has never seen the lake, only heard of it.

And this riddle was told by a passing goblin.

Zhou Yu also never thought that the Sphinx would ask such a question!

How will the water surface change?

reduce?

Elevated?

Or sink?

Zhou Yu quickly used the physics knowledge he had learned in high school, and his powerful mental arithmetic ability surprised him everywhere.

"It's time, tell me your answer!"

The Sphinx is condescending, and the magic sound is like a prison.

"The water level will drop." Zhou Yu calmly said the answer he had prepared.

"Descent? Give me a reason that can convince me."

The Sphinx was surprised.

It doesn't know the answer to this question.

So I thought hard about it for many years.

"Let's make an assumption. Assume that the density of this pebble is extremely high, and it weighs 100 kilograms the size of a fist. It will greatly press the displacement of the boat. But if you lose it, the pebble will sink and the boat will float. causing the water level to drop.”

The Sphinx's eyes widened.

It pondered for a long time.

"Wonderful! That's how it is,"

"Human, I didn't expect you to be so smart. I have guarded this burrow for 330 years since I was born, and I have never seen a creature as smart as you. This first problem, even if you pass it .”

Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

fortunately,

The stone lion did not engage in sophistry, but directly admitted that he had passed.

“My second riddle is: If everyone loves me and I love only one person, who do I love?”

……

Zhou Yu finished listening to the topic.

I bother!

This stone lion is really narcissistic.

Compared with the first riddle, this riddle does not require very high logic.

The problem is that there are pits hidden in it.

Zhou Yu thought for a while.

"You love [a person]."

He cannot answer that it is itself that loves, because the Sphinx is not a human being, it is just a stone lion.

The correct answer is in the second sentence of the riddle.

"Hehehehe."

"Congratulations, you answered the second riddle correctly. You are really smart, but that doesn't mean you can survive."

"After all, the wisdom I possess far surpasses yours."

"Thousands of years of accumulated wisdom are beyond your IQ to imagine."

Zhou Yu listened to the narcissistic words of the stone lion.

He had prepared for the worst.

If it is impossible to escape this hurdle, he will put on the black skin, use the "jump rune" obtained in the tenth floor burrow, and escape from here.

This is the last hole card.

Originally he wanted to use the "degradation spray" he had just obtained,
But for the degraded spray, the spray distance is only 20 centimeters.

At this moment, he couldn't get so close to this huge lion at all.

Can only use jump runes.

Zhou Yu slowly approached Hei Pi.

"This last riddle, I have to choose the hardest one, human beings, are you afraid?"

"Hahahaha, even if you beg for mercy, I can't let you go."

"I figured it out! You will never be able to answer this next riddle!"

There was a sly smile in the Sphinx's eyes.

Like a fox.

"Listen! My third riddle!"

"Guess, how old am I?"

"Three seconds to think!"

"three!"

"two!"

……

……

……

Like a naughty child, the stone lion sphinx tilted its head, waiting for Zhou Yu's answer.

"Hmph, the chances of getting this question right are too slim. Human being, I can kill you rightfully today!"

The Sphinx was beating Xiaojiujiu in his heart.

But when Zhou Yu heard that the topic was this, he was secretly delighted.

"This stone lion is really stupid. I'm afraid its IQ is not as good as that of Hei Pi. He revealed that he has been in this burrow for 1332 years since he was born. Now you are asking me this question, you must be out of your mind!"

"Your age is 1332 years old!"

Zhou Yu said the answer loudly.

The Sphinx was stunned.

Obviously, it didn't expect Zhou Yu to be right.

When it came up with the question, it had already forgotten that it had revealed its age inadvertently.

Its memory is not very good, but Zhou Yu's memory is very good.

Although Zhou Yu answered the question correctly, the stone lion was obviously unwilling to let Zhou Yu go.

It paused for a long time before opening its mouth and roaring condescendingly:

"Unfortunately, human beings, the answer to the third question is wrong! I am only nine hundred years old this year!"

Zhou Yu was also taken aback.

He is angry!

This damn stone lion is obviously trying to cheat!

I also blame myself for not paying attention in advance, who would have thought that this old monster that has lived for more than 1000 years would actually cheat!

Zhou Yu was about to argue,
The angry claws of the stone lion have been photographed!

"In the name of the Sphinx, I grant you death!"

Zhou Yu stepped back quickly, took out a dragon scale from the warehouse, and threw it at the Sphinx's body.

Bang!
The dragon scales exploded, and strong ice elements swept through the surrounding area. The fury of frost lowered the temperature in the cave to below zero in a short time.

It's a pity that the defensive power of stone lions is extremely high.

Frost Wrath does not damage it.

But Zhou Yu took this opportunity to pick up Heipi on the ground.

He took out the jump rune from the warehouse with his right hand and activated it with his mental power.

He already understood that the stone lion had no intention of letting him leave from the very beginning.That being the case——

[Whether to use the jump rune? 】

"Yes!"

In the blink of an eye, the angry claws of the Sphinx had already slapped Zhou Yu's forehead.

The jump rune was activated, cracks appeared in the surrounding void, time and space began to rotate, and gradually became blurred, and Zhou Yu's figure also became blurred, together with Heipi in his arms.

The space forms a vortex.

The leap rune in Zhou Yu's hand is the vortex point.

The space with a radius of three meters was completely folded by the vortex, and it began to prepare for the leap.

The giant claw photographed by the Sphinx was about to touch the giant claw on Zhou Yu's forehead, and this moment was no exception.

The power of the jump rune is unimaginable.

"what!"

Suddenly, the giant claws of the Sphinx were cut off by the force of space, and all its body parts that entered the vortex space were cut off. The claws that were more than one meter long were cut off together, followed by Zhou Yu and Heipi. Let's blur together and leap to the unknown space.

Unbelievable pain hit the Sphinx's body and soul.

In an instant, one of its front paws was gone.

This is the price of cheating.

There is still silky mucus seeping through the fracture!Like the blood of cave creatures!
"Ahhhhhhhhhh damn human, how dare you hurt me!"

"I will crush you to ashes!"

The stone lion Sphinx roared angrily.

However, Zhou Yu has already taken its giant claw that was strangled by the space, and went to nowhere.
