The Invincible Overlord of Heroes

"Human, you don't have much time. If you piss off the Sphinx, the Sphinx will make you look good."

Facing the threat of the Sphinx, Xu Lai didn't care.

If the Sphinx could take action at will, it would have taken action long ago, and there would be no need to bless countless people over thousands of years.

No matter how much Sphinx likes to guess riddles, he will always encounter some annoying and disdainful people.

Xu Lai can guarantee that he is the type of person who makes the other party upset.

But so far, I have only heard of people being swallowed directly by the Sphinx because they could not answer the questions. I have never heard of people having problems after answering correctly.

On the contrary, you must be careful when answering the Sphinx's questions, as there may be some trap hidden in it.

Xu Lai thought for a moment and asked, "Then what blessings can I ask for?"

"Damn humans, the Sphinx won't tell you, but if you just want some attributes and money, it's easy for the Sphinx."

He obviously wouldn't tell himself anything, but he hinted that Xu Lai should choose attributes, money, etc.

Xu Lai shook his head and said: "I don't know if you know my identity. I am the king of a country. I already have what you mentioned."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Lai noticed a gaze that scanned his entire body.

After a period of silence, the Sphinx suddenly leaned down, its huge stone face came close to Xu Lai, and whispered:

"You have a lot of wealth, you are full of top-quality equipment, and you are not lacking in attributes.

So what more do you want? With your status, you are not short of beauty, power, and money.

Then do you want to have the same lifespan as the elves and rule your country for a long time? "

Xu Lai was surprised and said, "Can you do it?"

Human beings have taken great advantages in recruiting soldiers and ruling territories.

However, there are gains and losses. Even in the magical world, even if you take natural treasures such as the water of life, you can only live for more than ten years at most.

"Of course, your body is good and you have enough foundation.

The Sphinx can bless you with a life span of at least 600 years, as long as you are not killed. "

"So, what's the price?"

At least 600 years of life. To be honest, Xu Lai was so excited that he forgot his previous plans.

But everything has a price, and Xu Laicai doesn't believe in pie-in-the-sky things.

"The price? You need to answer the Sphinx's question correctly first. If you answer it correctly, I will bless you."

"So, what if you got the answer wrong?"

The blessings and curses of the Sphinx correspond to each other. The blessing is to increase one level, while the curse must be to lower one level.

Xu Lai actually guessed the answer, but he couldn't accept this answer, and it was not commensurate with the reward. He didn't believe that he could live to be at least 300 years old.

No, he is already over 20 years old, so he has to live to at least 310 years old to be able to equal the blessing of 600 years old.

"Then I'm sorry. The Sphinx can only deprive you of your remaining lifespan and accept your body to make up for the shortcomings."

Xu Lai sneered, thinking that was indeed the case, this half-human, half-animal stone sculpture was interested in his own body.

"Don't you have the final say on what is right and what is wrong?"

The Sphinx roared angrily: "You can doubt the Sphinx's ability, but you cannot doubt the Sphinx's character.

Humans, either answer the question, leave, or become food in my belly! "

Xu Lai was a little eager to give it a try. For him, there was no creature in this world that he did not dare to challenge.

Even if the gods come down to earth, Xu Lai will fight as long as he dares to show his health bar.

The sphinx in front of him doesn't seem to be easy to mess with, but it may not be more difficult to deal with than the abyss worm.

Although Xu Lai did not bring an army with him this time, he brought the Knights of the Guards and the Archangels with him for the convenience of returning directly to Gray Castle.

The only thing I'm worried about is that he is too close to this thing. Even if he has a magical weapon, he may become the weakness of the entire team.

Holy armor can resist all physical and magic spells, but it cannot resist divine power.

The dracolich used the power of the God of Death, but it almost killed him.

The Sphinx should not be a god, otherwise it would be impossible to stay in the main world.

But its power is indeed miraculous. It can not only give others levels, health points, and mana points, but it can even extend people's lifespan.

This is not recorded in the secret scrolls of the temple.

Then there are only two possibilities. One is that no one has proposed such a blessing, and the other is that everyone who has proposed such a blessing is dead.

It would be impossible for the temple to record everyone who visited the Sphinx, so many questions and blessings must have been missed.

However, extending life span can be said to be the instinct of every life. Xu Laicai couldn't believe that after so many years and tens of thousands of records, no one mentioned it.

The Sphinx even has such an ability, so it's hard not to doubt the opponent's ability.

Therefore, when the words came to his lips, Xu Lai gritted his teeth and gave up.

"Then, the blessing I want is not to block my way!"

Xu Lai not only gave up life extension, but also gave up level improvement and all other rewards.

The Sphinx is a special unit that everyone can only visit once. Anyone who visits the Sphinx for the first time is absolutely safe as long as they do not answer questions.

Otherwise, Xu Lai would not dare to ignore the other party's anger.

But if you visit the Sphinx for the second time, it depends on the Sphinx's mood.

If it is happy, you will guess riddles with it, and it will let you go or eat you.

If it is unhappy, then it will eat you directly without saying anything.

"Blocking the road, what do you mean? Do you want to pass through this side? Then go directly, no need to answer my questions."

The Sphinx's face was uncertain, but the body that came close to it twisted back, and even leaned to the side to make way.

Xu Lai actually didn't know why the Sphinx stayed in this place without moving.

But combined with the Sphinx's expression and words, plus the vague hints in his chest, Xu Lai always felt that the other party was hiding something from him and all the visitors.

The reason is very simple. The Sphinx can move. It is not restricted by anything. At least all four feet can leave the ground.

The secret scroll of the temple also records that the Sphinx slaughtered the visiting army and did not allow any forces to station troops.

This shows that this guy can definitely move, otherwise it is a living target. The army can slowly kill it even if it uses catapults.

So Xu Lai used blocking the road to test, which can be both literal and formal.

The Sphinx is definitely not a fool, but it actively understands it as a literal meaning.

This means that the Sphinx is very likely to do it on purpose. He is definitely blocking something else, such as the distorted vision behind him.

"No, I still need to answer your question, you ask it!"

The Sphinx's face was uncertain. It had obviously given way to the road, but the human opposite still wanted to answer the question.

He could conceal the ancient contract, but he could not lie or disobey it, because that was the basis for its thousands of years of life.

Although he still could not find out Xu Lai's specific purpose, Xu Lai had made his request clear. As a tomb guardian, Sphinx could not refuse.

"Mortal, listen carefully, what animal walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night?"

The Sphinx flapped the eagle-like wings behind it and asked Xu Lai viciously.

This question directly confused Xu Lai.

This question was not recorded in the secret scroll of the temple, but Xu Lai was very familiar with it.

"It's a human!"

The Sphinx was stunned. It looked at Xu Lai in disbelief and roared:

"How could it be a human? Why a human?"

"Because this animal symbolizes a person's life.

When humans are just born, they can't walk yet, so they have to crawl on the ground with four legs, which corresponds to the morning of this animal.

At noon, it is also the time when humans are strong and healthy. At this time, humans walk on the ground with two legs.

At night, it is the twilight of humans. At this time, humans can no longer walk and must use crutches, that is, external force, to continue moving forward!"

For Xu Lai, this is a completely standard answer. When he was on Earth, he didn't know how many times he had heard it.

But it is obvious that this is an absolute core question for the Sphinx, and it is also a question it has never asked.

If it weren't for a flash of inspiration, it would not give up all the questions that don't want rewards.

As long as it does not involve the contract signed by the Sphinx, all questions can be asked by the Sphinx itself.

Even if some questions have two or more answers, the final choice is still in the hands of the Sphinx.

But the ancient contract was engraved with such a question, because the party who signed the contract was also a human being, the former world ruler.

The Sphinx, who got the answer, began to shed dust from its body made entirely of huge stones.

The dust became bigger and bigger, and in just three or five minutes, such a huge beast turned into a pile of dirt in front of Xu Lai.

The dirt hill was triangular, but this small triangle was completely incomparable to the large triangle behind the dirt hill.

The base of the large triangle that appeared behind him was a huge square, and the side was made up of multiple triangular faces connected.

The top area was very small, even in the shape of a spire.

From Xu Lai's distant perspective, the overall shape was similar to the Chinese character "金".

Yes, this was a pyramid that Xu Lai was very familiar with.

"Haha, it seems that today we have discovered the secret that the Sphinx has been hiding for thousands of years.

Let's go, Roland, go and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Roland hurriedly led a few Holy Light Knights and rode forward.

As the leader of the Knights of the Guard, Roland had to nip all dangers in the bud.

The sudden appearance of the huge pyramid startled him, but Xu Lai was not surprised.

It would be surprising if there was no such pyramid behind the Sphinx.

Roland ran all the way to the door of the pyramid before stopping his horse.

There really weren't any traps along the way, and the huge pyramid didn't have any doors.

Without a doorway, there was no way to enter.

Roland led the guards knights and ran around the huge pyramid, but didn't find any gaps.

Xu Lai was not surprised. He dismounted and reached out to touch the huge stone on the pyramid.

"You are trying to visit the pyramid, which will wake up the sleeping dead inside. Do you want to visit?"

The moment he touched the pyramid, this prompt popped up in Xu Lai's mind.

Xu Lai looked around. He didn't bring too many soldiers this time. All of them added up to more than a thousand.

And the huge pyramid in front of him was obviously not the ordinary treasure houses he had encountered before.

The scale and size of this pyramid even exceeded the Dragon Kingdom that Xu Lai had seen.

Although there were only a thousand people, they were all level 8 warriors, and there was a superhero like him.

Besides, the secret of the pyramid had not been discovered for thousands of years. How could Xu Lai miss this opportunity?

"Yes!"

After confirming decisively, Xu Lai and his team were indeed led directly into the interior of the pyramid by a burst of white light.

And there was indeed a group of people in the pyramid, waiting there early.

As soon as Xu Lai and his team landed, countless gray lights fell on them.

"Curse: Weak and powerless, the attack power of you and your troops will be reduced by half.

Curse: Aging and decaying, the health of you and your troops will be reduced by half.

Curse: Slow and dull, the attack speed and movement speed of you and your troops will be reduced by half.

Curse: Possessed by bad luck, the luck of you and your troops will be reduced to -3 points.

Curse: Vulnerable, the defense of you and your troops will be reduced by half."

Good guy, just as he opened his eyes, 5 gray lights fell on Xu Lai and his troops.

5 curses directly reduced his and his troops' attack power, defense, and even life, speed and luck by half, or half of the basic value.

This means that Xu Lai and his team's combat effectiveness has been destroyed by half or even more.

As they are trapped in the middle, the opponents they will face are 1113 8th-level diamond men in the upper left corner.

3339 7th-level gold men in the lower right corner.

3339 7th-level mummy kings in the lower left corner.

1113 8th-level pharaohs in the upper right corner.

By the way, Xu Lai and his knights and angels add up to exactly 1113 people.

The gold men in the factory of the wizard tower can occasionally produce something. This thing has extremely strong physical defense capabilities, and the key is 85% magic resistance.

They are not immune to spells, but any spell can only cause 15% damage to these gold men.

The diamond man is even more exaggerated, made entirely of diamonds, and the cost is outrageous.

But this guy is also worthy of its fake, with magic resistance increased to 95%, and its defense is even higher than most 9th-level creatures.

These two things, except for Behemoth, the only thing that restrains them is probably high-level ranged troops.

Because the only drawback of these two things is that they move slowly.

The King of the Mummy is an advanced plus version of the Mummy, and its attacks come with multiple curses.

The Pharaoh is the most terrifying, and the 5 curses just now came from the blessings of these Pharaohs.

In addition to the curses they are best at, these Pharaohs are also long-range units, and their casting distance is extremely long. (End of this chapter)
