Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Germain did not rush to enter, but set up a lantern teleportation point outside the boundary gate.

As a result, he still had 7 idle teleportation lanterns left.

Then, he walked towards the boundary gate again.

To normally explore the Dark Continent, the path is of course to take the sea, from the Six Continents to the Boundary Gate, and then from the Boundary Gate to the Dark Continent itself.

However, German did the opposite, first trying to break into the Dark Continent, and then reaching the Gate of Limits and opening up the correct route.

"Reverse push picture", nothing more than that.

He reached out and touched the cold boundary door, and after confirming that there were no traps, he activated his thoughts and displayed a strong energy aura.

Rumble——

The 256-ton boundary gate, pushed open by Germain's hands, was no different from an ordinary gate. It was pushed open.

After everyone entered the other end of the boundary door, Germain let go of his hand and allowed the boundary door to close again with a loud rumbling sound.

"Wow." Bisji, who was holding a round head, exclaimed, but the object was not the boundary door, but the giant beast that came into view.

It was a sphinx with fluffy hair and strong skin, with folded wings on its broad back. It was lying on the ground, staring at everyone.

"Is this the 'Sphinx' that the old man (Nitro) mentioned?" Bisgi said.

As an explorer who had traveled to and from the Boundary Gate twice, Nitro naturally shared his past experiences in detail before Germain and his party set off.

The Gate of Limits, the Sphinx... these are all within the categories Nitro mentioned... It seems that even after more than half a century, this information is still not outdated.

This was the second hurdle they faced, getting safely out of the Sphinx's courtyard.

"The Sphinx likes to ask you some difficult questions, and depending on your answers, it will affect and change part of the reality about you..."

The fastest way through the courtyard is, of course, to kill the Sphinx.

However, whether it is the gatekeepers or the deep sea behind them, what they hate the most are rude people, especially those who dare to be arrogant and domineering in their territory.

Germain didn't want to offend the gatekeeper or a demigod as soon as he came up. This would not only be detrimental to him, but also detrimental to the opening of the channel.

So, let’s stick to the rules here and answer the Sphinx’s question.

The sphinx's golden vertical pupils swept across the faces of Germain and others, and it slowly raised one of its front paws.

"I am the Sphinx." The Sphinx actually made a woman's voice and spoke the common language of the six continents, "Three of you, answer me a question each."

"After answering, everyone can pass. If one person doesn't answer, everyone can't pass. You decide for yourself which three people will answer my question."

As expected, if the information provided by President Nitro is consistent, the Sphinx will choose how many people and how many questions to ask depending on the number of people present.

The upper limit is three people and the lower limit is one person.

The Sphinx will refer to the answer of the respondent, modify the reality, and let the respondent bear the "blessing" or "curse".

Everyone had discussed who would answer the question before they came. At this time, they just looked at each other a few times, and three people came out.

Germain, Bisji, Mo Laowu.

Xiaodi stayed at the back, hooking her hands behind each other's raised buttocks, watching silently as the three walked towards the Sphinx.

"Who comes first?" The Sphinx didn't care about everyone's choice, but when his vertical pupils swept over Germain, he paused slightly for a moment.

"I'll do it first." Mo Laowu put the big pipe on the ground like a cane.

The Sphinx stared at Mo Laowu for a moment, then asked: "Your disciples Nakulu and Xiutuo were seriously injured and fell to the ground, unconscious..."

"And there is a terrifying and cruel monster that is far more powerful than you and is chasing you."

"If you want to escape, you can only bring one disciple with you at most, otherwise you will be chased by monsters. How do you choose?"

When he heard the Sphinx mention Nakulu and Xiuto, Mo Laowu had already guessed what type of questions it would ask him.

Even though he was mentally prepared, after listening to the complete question, he still frowned and was unable to make a decision for a long time.

The Sphinx did not set a time limit. Theoretically, Mo Laowu could think about this issue forever, and it would not be a waste of his time anyway.

After a while, Mo Laowu smiled with relief and replied: "Sure enough, I still can't make a choice against my own heart."

He said with firm eyes: "In that case, even if the possibility is slim, I will try to save my two disciples at the same time."

The Sphinx was unmoved and said in an indifferent tone: "Is this your final answer?"

"Yes, I chose to take them both and run away together."

"Very well, as you wish."

Chi chi chi——

The next moment, Mo Laowu suddenly spurted blood arrows all over his body, bright and dazzling!

Severe pain hit him, and after a period of dizziness, he almost fell down. Fortunately, the big pipe in his hand supported his strong and tall body.

"Mo Laowu!" Bisji was startled, came closer and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"

Germain also looked over, with a serious look on his face.

After taking a few deep breaths, Mo Laowu waved his hands towards them: "It's okay, it's okay... I'm fine..."

He spat out a mouthful of bloody phlegm on the ground, raised his head rather embarrassedly, and looked at Sphinx:

"Because I decided to save the two disciples, I was seriously injured. Can I understand it this way?"

"That's right." Sphinx looked down at him without any emotional fluctuations.

Mo Laowu grinned, with blood between his teeth: "Then let me ask you, since I didn't die, does it mean that I saved them all?"

Sphinx looked at him indifferently and didn't answer.

"It seems that 'silence' is your answer."

Mo Laowu laughed heartily, not caring about the blood gushing from his body, but just letting Xiaodi who came over bandage his wounds.

Xiaodi's technique is not as good as Qiduo, Sambika, Ge'er and others, but it is enough for emergency treatment.

"Really." Bisiji helplessly held his forehead, "It's already this time, and you can still be so serious..."

"Forget it... Sphinx, I'm the next one, you ask."

Sphinx's vertical pupils were aimed at Bisiji.

Bisiji calmly put his hands on his hips, looking fearless.

After listening to the multiple-choice questions that Sphinx asked Mo Laowu, she had found the pattern and thought of several choices for her.

After a while, Sphinx finally spoke, and as soon as he spoke, he hit Bisiji's pain point.

"You have two forms, one is as strong as an ox, and the other is as petite as a rabbit."

"I can make the petite you more lovely and beautiful, or I can make the strong you more swift and brave."

"But no matter which form you choose to make better, the other form will become worse. What do you want to choose?"

It was indeed this kind of question... Sphinx's question did not exceed Bisiji's expectations, but it was still a headache.

Bisiji quickly understood what Sphinx meant.

If she chose to be more lovely and beautiful in her petite form, then when she became strong again, her strength would have a significant drop compared to before.

If she chose to be more swift and brave in her strong form, then when she became petite, her appearance would have obvious signs of aging compared to before.

However, unlike the entanglement that might appear in imagination, Bisiji answered almost immediately after understanding the question.

"I choose to make me more swift and brave when I am strong."

Everyone looked at her in surprise. They knew how much Bisiji cared about her appearance and body shape.

However, she almost did not hesitate at this moment and directly chose the combat power increase in the strong form.

Because she knew that for the next test and the subsequent journey to the Dark Continent, strength is more important than appearance.

Sphinx looked at her: "Is this your final answer?"

Bisiji exhaled slowly and answered seriously: "Yes."

"Then it's as you wish."
