Chapter 448： Sphinx

Chapter 448-Sphinx

Fortunately, the fireworks calling for help were hung around the warrior's waist. After losing his wand, Furong had to release the fireworks calling for help.

The audience was in an uproar. Not long after the game started, a warrior completely lost his qualifications. The fierceness of the game can be imagined.

Krum also encountered a snail. There were a lot of snails in the maze. Hagrid raised a large group of snails. After they killed each other, more than ten snails were still alive and they were more than ten feet in size. Of huge monsters, they are all placed in this maze.

The fried tail snail blocking Krum's body is like a giant scorpion, with a long stinging needle rolled on its back, and its thick armor gleams under the fluorescent light.

Unlike Cedric's escape, Krum dealt with it calmly. He used a very useful black magic, which immediately made the snails lose their combat effectiveness. The fried snail only had time to eject a flame, and he didn't have the energy to shoot, allowing Krum to leave it.

"It should be the black magic that creates weakness." George looked at Krum's shot and guessed.

The snails are specially cultivated by Hagrid. They are large in size, but they are not fully developed. Weak spells can cause their internal collapse, which makes the snails that are difficult to deal with by normal magic seem vulnerable.

Krum seemed to be very good at dealing with things in the maze. He bypassed one fork after another, escaped one trap after another, and quickly walked towards the center of the maze.

"Krum is already ranked first." The students in the stands began to clamor again.

"I knew Krum would win. He was the best player in the Quidditch match." A Krum admirer immediately defected to his school and defected to Krum's camp. .

"Why didn't Harry hurry up?" Some people couldn't help complaining.

"Cedric, Cedric..." Hufflepuff's student sighed. Cedric ran in the wrong direction in a panic just to avoid the snails, and was far behind the other two.

On the screen, Harry's speed is not slow, he walks cautiously, but he rarely makes mistakes, even if he encounters a dead end, he can turn out immediately.

Although he did not intend to win the game, he still moved forward step by step at a constant speed.

Klim was fast all the way. He turned the fork all the way and unlocked the trap. He was almost at the center of the maze.

In the anxiety of the students, he finally encountered a problem that he had to stop.

A behemoth blocked the only way to the center of the maze, a familiar creature, it was a sphinx. It is the famous sphinx. This sphinx from Egypt has been used by wizards to protect their precious objects and secret places.

Sphinx is a very clever animal, they like riddles and anagrams. But when they are guarding things, they can become very dangerous.

The body of the Sphinx is like a lion with magnification magic. It has a woman's head, huge claws, long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair on the tip of the tail.

It blocked the only way in the maze, and asked Krum a question, "You are very close to your goal. Just think of a way to get past me."

It walked up and down in the passage, blocking the way forward, said.

"Unless you can answer my riddle, you will never pass. You have only one chance. You can guess the answer once, and I will let you pass immediately. If you guess wrong, I will immediately rush. If you don't answer, I Can let you go away without hurting you"

Krum ignored the Sphinx's words. He stepped back and left the tunnel. He crouched down and hid in a bush.

The stands became uproar, and the Hogwarts students shouted loudly, "He is too cunning. He can't answer the question, so he just hides. Is he planning to sneak attack the warriors coming from behind?"

"Who said that Krum couldn't answer the question? He didn't even listen to the question, he just didn't want to answer it." Durmstrang's students immediately defended their warrior. They were very surprised by the reaction to Krum. understanding.

This is much easier than answering the sphinx. There is only one chance. Who knows what questions the sphinx will ask. The sphinx is not a monster to fool. Obviously waiting for other people to test it out, thinking about how to deal with it, which is the best way.

George also agrees with Krum's choice, and it's always good to plan afterwards. An attempt of opportunity, only fools who rely on luck will try their luck. Otherwise, I'd rather change the path, choose another method, it is better to take the risk.

Not only did Krum choose a good choice, he also had good luck, and the fool who relied on luck came soon.

Harry and Krum chose the same path Although he walked slowly and cautiously, his few mistakes left enough time for him. He also came to the front of the Sphinx .

"You are very close to your goal. Just answer my question and I will let you pass." Sphinx said in a low, hoarse voice.

It stared at Harry with huge eyes, and said, "You only have one chance, and you can guess the answer once, and I will let you go right away. If you guess wrong, I will immediately come forward. If you don't answer, I can let you Go away without hurting you"

"Let's talk about it." Harry didn't care about the ownership of the trophy, so he didn't care about the Sphinx question whether he could answer it.

Sphinx sat on her hind legs, blocked the road, and said.

"Think first about someone who always wears a mask, acts secretively, and tells me a lot of lies. Then tell me what is always stitched up, in the middle, and at the end of the tail? Finally, tell me which word is often used when I can't think of a word It was said. Now connect them and answer me, what is the animal you don't want to kiss?"

Harry just felt confused and heavy in his head, and at this time he started to miss Hermione, which was her best game. If Hermione were there, she would be able to guess the riddle soon.

But he still turned his mind, trying to analyze the answer behind the riddle.

"With a mask," he glared at Sphinx and muttered to himself, "always lie... uh... that is-imposter (liar). No, this is not my answer! It is-spy ( spy)?"

"The next thing is always stitched and patched, and in the middle of the middle, the word that I often say when I can't think of a word, spy...er...spy...er, the animal I don't want to kiss... it's a spider !spider!"
