Overlord of the Demon Realm

"Oedipus!!!"

Ye Kong's voice was deafening, causing the Sphinx to fall into silence for a while.

Hua Yin, who was standing next to her, was even more bewildered——

"Who is Oedipus? Who is Oedipus? Why is Oedipus the answer?"

For a while, Huayin fell into the state of "Mengxin Sanlian", but unfortunately, no one explained the process to her.

Because, the eyes of Ye Kong and Sphinx are focused on each other

"Cuckoo, cluck~!"

The Sphinx raised its eagle head and let out a weird laugh. The next moment, it lowered its head and stared at Ye Kong with its eagle eyes: "Young man, congratulations for answering my question correctly."

system hint:

You have passed the test of the Sphinx and gained the trust of the other party. Next, please listen to its entrustment.

Not only did Ye Kong get this prompt, but also Huayin next to him—the two shared the task, and the progress of the task was also common.

This time, Ye Kong secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he had made the right bet.

So Ye Kong smiled and said, "Mr. Sphinx, am I qualified to listen to your request?"

"Of course." Sphinx shook his body and said seriously: "My soul is bound in the painting, I want you to go to the central hall of the castle and help me untie the shackles on my soul—as long as you untie the shackles on my soul. Open it, and I can get rid of this oil painting."

As he spoke, the Sphinx's mouth opened, and a small ball of green light came out and fell on Ye Kong's hand. When the light dissipated, there was only one key left.

At the same time, Sphinx explained: "In the core of the central hall, there is a box inlaid with gemstones, and a lock is placed on it. Use the key I gave you to open the lock - the lock of the box. Inside, there is a miniaturized oil painting, the same style as my oil painting, you bring it back and give it to me, and everything will be fine."

"Also, I can also see that your goal is the core center of Bloodborne Castle, that damned Belmont. If you help me get out of the predicament, I will become your helper and destroy that Belmont together!"

System prompt: The content of the hidden branch has been updated. Please retrieve the painting of the Sphinx and free it from the cage. At that time, it will also become your helper.

Both of them heard the cue.

As a result, Kanon beamed with joy, and used the channel to chat privately: "Mr. Kong, I have heard the name 'Belmont' from Aoki resident Bryce. It seems to be the owner of Bloodborne Castle, and he is also the owner of the cursed Bloodskin. It seems that he must be the final boss."

"Judging from the tone of the Sphinx, it has a deep grievance with Belmont. With its help, we have greater hope of breaking through the castle!"

However, Ye Kong's behavior was different from her——

"The task content is different!"

"Sure enough, we have answered the second puzzle. Therefore, the Sphinx's request has also changed. It is not to increase his clone, but to save his body!"

The Sphinx in the previous life, his question was answered by a small team, so that team received the entrustment of the Sphinx: the task content is to go to the 'Blood Grudge Platform', find a Blood Grudge spar and bring it back, Give it to the Sphinx in the portrait, and let it split into a spirit body to help players conquer the entire castle.

Now, the commission of the Sphinx is different, it has obviously raised a level, it is because of the second puzzle—fortunately, Ye Kong guessed the answer correctly!

"Okay, Mr. Sphinx, please wait for our good news."

Ye Kong accepted the commission, and at the same time, he used the channel to chat privately with Huayin: "Huanyin, the commission from the Sphinx may not be easy to complete, wait a minute, don't be too impulsive, you must Follow my orders."

"Hmmmmmm!!!" Huayin nodded desperately, and said firmly: "Of course I listen to your command, Kong Jun, you are really amazing, you have successfully solved that kind of puzzle, and I I still don’t understand the reason for that answer.”

As he said that, Huayin stuck out his sweet tongue: "It seems that we are not suitable for using our brains, so we should give up thinking and follow Kongjun's command! —— Whatever Kongjun asks me to do, I will do it!"

It seems that the Sphinx's riddle hit Kanon so badly that she simply gave up thinking.

"Okay, let's go then"

Ye Kong couldn't laugh or cry, shook his head secretly, and left the restaurant with Huayin.

The exit of the wax figure restaurant is connected to a red corridor, but there are no monsters on the corridor, and everything seems very quiet.

But Ye Kong knew very well that at the end of this long corridor was a platform for blood grievances, and the location of the central auditorium was a little further back, separated by several areas.

After a while, the two came to the end of the corridor, and suddenly there was an open-air platform in front of them. The scope of the platform was very wide, and the bricks on the ground were bright red, like a large field of roses.

Above the platform is the sky, but this sky is different from the usual gloom, but it is full of scarlet, with drops of dull mottled, like red dye mixed with rust, and the two are stirred together.

Decay, stench, and hideousness are the first impressions of the scene in front of you.

Besides, there are some figures wandering around on the platform.

Scarlet Cavalry (Level 9): Enhanced creature with HP 780/780.

The scarlet cavalry is the signature creature of the blood grudge platform. They are much more difficult to deal with than the magic slime cavalry, because their core skill is called "Bloodthirsty Strike", the skill effect is magic immunity for 7 seconds, and it is increased by 100% Attack speed - this burst is terrible.

Therefore, the scarlet cavalry in the previous life also had a nickname - the real man of seven seconds, which means that the scarlet cavalry who has activated the "bloodthirsty attack" cannot be stopped by anyone.

If you want to go to the central auditorium, you have to penetrate the entire Blood Grudge platform, and then pass through several areas.

However, Ye Kong has a small way to quickly reach the central auditorium.

Ye Kong glanced at it, and it was exactly as he remembered, several large boxes were still in the corner, stacked quietly.

"Huayin, come with me."

Ye Kong pulled each other, the two clinging to the edge of the platform, out of the hatred range of the monsters, ran to the front of several big boxes.

"Hey Kong-kun, what do you want to do?"

Huayin asked curiously. At the same time, her face was reddish. This place is too secluded, and there are several boxes for cover, so it is easy to get confused.

At this time, Ye Kong pointed to the big box, and only said one sentence——

"We climb boxes."

"Climb the box?!"

Huayin was taken aback, before she could think about it, Ye Kong asked, "Huanyin, what is your agility attribute?"

"16 o'clock." Hua Yin replied immediately.

Ye Kong nodded slightly. A level 7 strength class has 16 points of agility, which can be called excellent. However, she is still a bit short of attributes.

Fortunately, there are two of them right now.

So, Ye Kong leaned against the big box, squatted straight, and clapped his hands towards Huayin——

"Huanyin, let's take the ladder to the box!"

"Come on come!!!"
