Book of the Otherworld

Chapter 43 The Sphinx Problem

When Xing Tianyu walked into the living room, he found that Xiao Zhen and Ning Wenrui were already there.

The ceremony of summoning the Sphinx was about to begin, and both of them looked a little excited, but more nervous and uneasy.

Different from the previous times of summoning with great interest, the three of them at this moment, after experiencing Qin Ming's petrification and Ning Wenrui's injury, have clearly realized the danger and uncertainty of the summoning ceremony.

It can be said that when Xing Tianyu picked up the book of other worlds and sacrifices, and was about to go to the basement to hold the summoning ceremony, the atmosphere in the whole living room became solemn.

"How are you getting ready?"

"I'm fine!" Xiao Zhen waved the long sword in his hand. This sword has been carefully polished by him. The sharp blade is shining with cold light. This is a one-handed sword with a straight body and a sharp blade But it is slightly curved, very suitable for chopping, and can also be used for assassination. On one hand, there is a round shield made of fine steel.

There is also a breastplate on his body, which looks like an ancient warrior.

In addition, he was carrying a backpack with his IPAD inside.

But Ning Wenrui didn't seem so reliable. Although his injury had healed, his face was still pale. He didn't know if it was because of nervousness or something. His weapon was still the samurai sword.

Xing Tianyu said, "I did some rehearsals in the Nightmare Space last night. It is best to use spears to deal with Sphinxes. If the three of us can form a spear formation, we should be able to kill each other relatively safely. Of course, the premise is Sphinxes don't have special abilities like magic."

Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen looked at each other and nodded, "Yes, I can also use spears." Xiao Zhen said, and he patted Ning Wenrui on the shoulder comfortingly, "Come on, is it a blessing? Misfortune, misfortune cannot be avoided."

The three of them took the prepared things and came to the basement outside.

In the summoning hall, the three of them put their weapons beside them. In addition to their own weapons, each of them also had a steel spear and a hunting crossbow.

When everything was ready, Xing Tianyu put the World Encyclopedia used as a sacrifice in the sacrifice circle.

"Who will summon this time?" Xing Tianyu asked. Every summoning ceremony before has its own needs and goals. The summoner is naturally generated, but this time it is a bit different. Ask questions It's not good if this kind of thing is dangerous. If you can't answer it by then, you will be eaten.

Xiao Zhen gritted his teeth, "I'll do it."

Xing Tianyu hesitated for a moment, but shook his head, "No, I'll do it. You are the main force in the battle. If a fight starts, you must act immediately."

Xiao Zhen thought for a while, then nodded, "Alright then."

Ning Wenrui remained silent the whole time, watching the conversation between the two, he had no intention of volunteering at all.

Xing Tianyu could feel Ning Wenrui's fear. Although the bite taken by the snake demon yesterday didn't hurt much, it frightened him. He didn't ask the other party, and stood directly beside the summoner with the book of another world. position.

First recite the incantation, and then begin to recite the incantation for summoning the Sphinx.

[The wisdom from Atlantis exists. 】

[The body of a lion, the wings of an eagle, the face of a human, ancient creatures with strange shapes. 】

【I dedicate to you with knowledge, I consult with you with questions, and I gift you with books. 】

[In the name of the contract signed between you and our clan in ancient times. 】

[I summon you to this world. 】

A vague will sent a faint response in the minds of the three.

In the center of the summoning circle, a golden spot of light appeared, and then turned into a crack. The crack extended towards both sides, and became more than one meter long in the blink of an eye. A ball of light emerged from the crack, and one could faintly feel Something was about to come out of that crack.

However, the crack was too small, the ball of light was stuck in the crack, but did not get out, the crack suddenly began to grow, and the boundaries of time and space were further torn, and at the same time, the tingling feeling at the beginning was repeated It happened in Xing Tianyu's mind, and it was even more obvious.

Xing Tianyu looked at Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen, both of them showed pained expressions. Obviously, three people operated this summoning ceremony, and the power of this Sphinx was obviously stronger than the previous few summons alien creatures, so it is somewhat reluctant,
But fortunately, the golden ball of light finally squeezed out from the crack, the pain disappeared, and the ball of light condensed into a huge shape in mid-air. When the crack disappeared, the light dissipated, and a strange creature appeared In front of the three of them.

This monster was unusually huge, even though it was only crouching in front of the three of them, it was still a head taller than the three of them.

The lion's body, however, is smooth as if there is no hair, which looks extremely weird.

The eagle's wings are a pair of wings that are more than two meters long, and each feather is more than a foot long. A pair of huge wings are tightly attached to its back like a cloak, which is smooth.

As for its face, to be exact, the three of them did not see the real face of the Sphinx, but what they saw was a golden mask of a human face, covering the beast's head completely, with the expression of the mask Stiff and serious, a pair of ruby-like eyes have no pupils, but pure bright red, looking at the three of them through the gap in the mask.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Xing Tianyu can clearly feel the contempt and arrogance of the other party, just like a knowledgeable scholar looking at a group of ignorant peasants in the countryside.

"Wow wow wow wow, another call, another help, I have been a little confused, why you humans always have all kinds of questions to seek my answers, just like your poor little heads I really understand it." The Sphinx said in a lazy and boring tone, stretched out his front paws and yawned very humanely.

Then, its neck drooped slightly, and its eyes fell on the World Encyclopedia that was offered as a sacrifice on the ground.

His paws lightly brushed against the cover of the World Encyclopedia on the ground, and his nails scratched the hard cover, making a harsh grinding sound.

His gaze swept over the three of them, and finally landed on Xing Tianyu, "Then you are my summoner."

"That's right." Xing Tianyu said in a deep voice, he was a little nervous, and glanced around. On both sides of the summoning formation, Xiao Zhen and Ning Wenrui were holding weapons, as if they were ready to fight at any time.

He stabilized his mind, "I am your summoner."

The Sphinx glanced at the book of other worlds in his hand, with a greedy look on his face. "Then you should know the rules."

"That's right." Xing Tianyu replied again.

"Very well, this way we can also save those red tape, I will ask my question next, you have one hour to answer, if you can't answer, I will eat you as punishment for delaying my precious time ’” said the Sphinx, licking his lips.

It glanced at Ning Wenrui and Xiao Zhen next to it again, "But I guess you probably won't let me eat it, it looks like you are ready to tear up the agreement, hehe, you really don't hide it."

Xing Tianyu was startled, he said he was good, he could see it, but thinking about it, how could such an obvious posture not be seen.

"No, we're actually just in case the one summoned is not you but something else, it's not aimed at you."

"Hmph, say whatever you want."

The Sphinx didn't seem to care what the three of them thought at all, "Here comes my question—where did you get the Book of Otherworlds in your hand?"
