v2 Chapter 169： Sphinx

The day of the draw at Hogwarts https://

Fortunately, Phoenix's tears have a strong therapeutic effect. The tears drip on the wound and the effect is immediate. Hermione's feet immediately burst out with two black breaths, and after a few drops of stench of poisonous blood flowed out, the blue-purple color on her feet also dissipated.

Seeing that Hermione's left foot was back to normal, Tom was relieved and returned to his human form.

"It's alright." Tom wiped the sweat from his forehead, Hermione blushed, and with a voice not much louder than a mosquito humming, "Mmmm", snatched the shoes and socks from Tom's hands and put them on feet.

Now that Hermione was out of danger, Tom had time to think about other things. Hermione tipped her toes and slipped the white sock she had snatched from Tom over her lovely little toe, and then she gently stretched the sock over her perfect arch until it finally fit on her calf. Together.

Looking at this scene, Tom couldn't help but think of the warm and soft touch when he started it, and couldn't help but sway in his heart.

At this time, Hermione also returned to her usual calm, and she immediately saw through Tom's careful thoughts. After seeing through Tom's thoughts, Hermione felt strange ripples in her heart. She had no dislike for it, and even wanted him to touch her feet again.

That feeling is really amazing.

So she straightened her legs.

"Hey, help me put it on!" She picked up the boots she took off with her fingers, gave Tom a coquettish glance, stretched out her feet, and rubbed against Tom's chest.

Now it's Tom's face steaming.

He took the boots, which seemed to be steaming, from Hermione and put them on for Hermione.

"Anyway, thank you," Hermione thanked Tom very seriously after finishing the event, "I didn't realize it at all, and it's really embarrassing for you, to be able to immediately squeeze out tears under such circumstances."

"It's nothing, it's mainly smoked."

"What did you say?" Hermione grabbed Tom's head.

"I mean I was in tears."

…

After a short repair, everyone recovered their physical strength, bandaged the bumps and bumps on their bodies, and prepared for further adventures, everyone got up one after another, walked along the stone steps, and entered the pyramid.

After entering the pyramid, there is a straight corridor. The corridor is narrow and narrow, and only one person can pass through. If the person is tall, he can only bend his waist and shrink his shoulders in this corridor.

"Fluorescent flickering!" Tom took out his wand, and a faint light appeared from the tip of the wand, illuminating the road ahead. Dr. Hunter behind him also took out the glow stick and rubbed it to make the chemicals in the stick react. , released a cold light.

Alan also waved at Tom with the light stick in his hand, "I have more on my side, do you want one?"

Tom smiled and rejected him.

On both sides of the corridor, there are large murals painted. Dr. Hunter carefully looked at it for a while and determined that this is the owner of this pyramid - the pharaoh among the ancient Egyptian pharaohs, the ruler of Upper and Lower Egypt, and the incarnation of God walking on earth. Narmer 's life story.

When he first entered the door, the content was the visions of his birth and the deeds of his youth, and now the location where Tom Seven stayed is the scene of the final battle of the Northern Expedition in Narmer.

Dr. Hunter was extremely excited, "These are the first discoveries in the archaeological world, and once they are released to the outside world, they will surely shock the world!" But he suddenly became depressed again, "It's a pity that Will didn't get to see these murals."

Allen touched the mural lightly with his hand, felt the state of the mural, and said in a barely audible voice, "Maybe you have to take it off with the ground stick attached..."

At the same time, he secretly determined a few locations where he would use the knife.

The content on both sides of the corridor gradually changed from the unification of Egypt to the internal affairs and diplomacy of Narmer's later period, as well as his own life. Suddenly, the space suddenly opened up, and Tom and his group of seven came to an open platform.

The light of the wand and the cold fireworks dispelled the darkness on the platform, and several people were startled when they saw the scene on the platform. On a platform made of granite lies a huge lion. It was by no means dead, for its crumpling ribs indicated that it was sleeping soundly. But the approach of Tom and his party alarmed it, and it came to life.

Alyosha immediately raised the rifle in his hand, but was held down by Tom.

Tom has recognized it, the lion in front of him is not an ordinary lion, but a sphinx.

Alyosha was still a little confused, but when the lion turned around and looked at him, he noticed something unusual: it had the head of a woman! The facial features are exactly the same as the Egyptians in the ancient Egyptian murals. She looked at several people with her long almond eyes and stood up. However, she didn't make a drastic move, and gave a few intruders a swoosh, but blocked in front of them. She spoke, in obscure language, her voice low and hoarse.

Seeing a few people didn't seem to understand at all, Sphinx also showed a hint of helplessness. She curled her tail, and she rolled up a delicate hollow ball from nowhere. The ball is only the size of a thumb. Made of pure gold, there is something in it that is turning.

She kept shaking the ball while repeating what she had just said. This time, although the words and pronunciation were still the same, Tom and the others found that they could understand Sphinx's words.

"Only a priest can harm me, this toy in your hand is useless to me."

Apparently, the Sphinx was speaking to Alyosha. Alyosha lowered his muzzle in embarrassment.

"Since you have entered the dwelling place of God, there is no way out. I will give each of you a riddle. If you guess, I will let you go. If you don't guess, I will eat you. If you don't answer, I don't. It will hurt you, it will only make you go away, but you only have one chance."

"There's no way back? Can't we go back the same way?" Allen felt tight, if they couldn't go back, how would they go back?

The Sphinx replied in a calm tone, "You can try it."

She walked in front of Ellen, sat on her hind lap, stared at Ellen, "Since you asked me a question, let's start with you."

When the Sphinx looked at him, Alan felt his heart was pinched. It was a feeling of being stared at by a predator. He was like a mouse told by an old cat and could no longer move. .

Fortunately, in order for him to answer the question smoothly, the Sphinx looked away and read: "Because of the light, I lost the light."

Alan: ?

He was stunned.

Dr. Hunter at the back thought for a while and came up with the answer, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the Sphinx glared at him and told him to shut up.

"Puzzles can only be solved independently, and cheaters will be directly disqualified from answering the questions." After that, she was silent, waiting for Ellen's answer.
