Dong Zheng explored the surroundings alone, and finally found a path that he could barely walk.

He picked up a long, strong branch and made it a walking stick, which made it easier for him to walk.

Dong Zheng walked for almost an hour, gradually approaching the edge of the swamp, and suddenly felt a little movement in the prisoner's space.

Cui Zuojing was already awake, rubbing his eyes and sitting cross-legged on the bed with messy hair. He gave Dong Zheng a signal that he was going out.

Dong Zheng obeyed for the time being and let him come out.

After taking a rest, Cui Zuojing's complexion improved slightly. The poison of the mist is not fatal. He looked around and asked, "Are you going out soon?"

"It should be soon." Dong Zheng stopped and handed the recovered Tang Dao to Cui Zuojing. He had roughly cleaned up the blood on it, "What are you doing here?"

"This is not a good place, it's safer if I stay with you." Cui Zuojing stared at the dark woods and said, "Anyway, I'm fine."

"Don't lie to me." Dong Zheng clearly knew that Cui Zuojing was not in good condition from the wilting Arabidopsis in the center of the core. He raised his hand and touched Cui Zuojing's forehead, feeling a little feverish.

Cui Zuojing shook his head and pushed his hand aside, humming: "It's not happy to have someone with you, it's really hard to serve."

Seeing this, Dong Zheng didn't force him: "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, go back immediately, don't force yourself."

Cui Zuojing said casually, "Understood."

It is indeed easier for the two to support each other than to walk alone. Dong Zheng showed Cui Zuojing the ruby ​​he got from Hydera's Immortal Head. Of course, Cui Zuojing didn't know what this could do.

Without a boat, it was very difficult to cross the swamp. When he reached the edge of the swamp, Dong Zheng was almost exhausted. Cui Zuojing was tired and could go back to the prisoner's space to rest, but he couldn't.

Finally set foot on the dry and hard ground, Dong Zheng closed his eyes, he really wanted to sit down and rest for a while, to sleep, lying on Cui Zuojing's lap in the underground cavity to rest and accumulate energy is not much left.

But he just stood there propping up the tree trunk for a few minutes before taking another step.Dong Zheng was afraid that with his current physical condition, once he sat down to rest, he would never get up again.

The color of the dark sky seems to have become lighter, faintly blue, and the figures of the stars are gradually dimming.

It's almost dawn.

Rao just fell asleep, Cui Zuojing also felt tired, he looked up at Dong Zheng: "Is it okay? Otherwise, take a rest."

Dong Zheng shook his head: "Let's find a place to rest after dawn, it doesn't always feel safe here."

After leaving the swamp, the mangrove forest gradually thinned out, and there was a narrow path among the gravel, which led to nowhere.

The two walked in silence, when suddenly Dong Zheng stretched out his hand and stopped Cui Zuojing who was looking down at the road.

Cui Zuojing raised his head, and at the end of the path, there was a black shadow squatting on the stone.

The two looked at each other and became alert. The creature must have seen them too, but there was no movement.

Cui Zuojing: Go and have a look?

Dong Zheng: Go.

After making eye contact, they approached the figure step by step. Cui Zuojing cheered up. To be honest, he is not in a good state now. If he encounters a monster as powerful as Hydera again, it will probably be difficult to deal with.

As the two approached, the shadow gradually became clear. It was a monster with a lion-like body, a woman's face, and two wings on its back. Its two front paws were on the ground, and it was sitting on a boulder.

The moment they saw the monster clearly, Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing looked towards the other side of the stone almost at the same time. As they expected, what was divided by the stone road was a cliff.

The monster who had been staring at them silently, seeing the two of them stopped, took the lead and said: "If you want to pass here, you must answer one of my questions. If you answer wrong, I will eat you."

The familiar lines, familiar monsters, and familiar terrain are simply a replica of the mystery of the Sphinx. Everyone has already been familiar with this story.

The sky was already bright, and Dong Zheng could clearly see the hair on Sphinx's face. He took a deep breath: "What's the problem?"

What animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening, and the most ineffective when it has the most legs?This question is the most well-known mystery of the Sphinx, and the answer must be known to everyone.

According to the routine of the box script, it should be related to this, but what the monster said next was beyond Dong Zheng's expectation.

"Then listen to my question." Sphinx said slowly: "A pair of sisters were born on the same day. The older sister will be born from the younger sister, and the younger sister will be born from the older sister. Who are these sisters?"

Cui Zuojing was taken aback, he had never heard of such a statement.

Dong Zheng was also stumped for a while, frowning slightly thinking.The sphinx waited patiently for his answer, the lion's tail wagging behind him, waiting to bite their throats off if they got a wrong answer or the two fled.

Each of the two sisters will be born from the other...

Mutual birth...transformation.

The stars in the night are getting darker and darker, the sky is getting brighter, driving away the endless darkness, the moon is hidden in the clouds, and the moment the sun in the sky jumps out of the sea level is when it disappears.

Cui Zuojing is also thinking. According to the original Sphinx mystery, the mystery and the answer are also a metaphor, a very vivid metaphor.

Looking at the distant sky, he felt that the answer seemed to be on his lips, but he couldn't think of its name for a while.

what is it?

"The answer is day and night."

Dong Zheng's steady voice sounded beside him, Cui Zuojing was taken aback for a moment, while the squatting Sphinx's complexion suddenly changed, almost falling off the stone.

It howled in pain and hissed: "The group of people 400 years ago answered my first question correctly, so I spent nearly a hundred years thinking about this question, and it was answered so easily !This is impossible!"

It roared for a while, and finally raised its hand frantically, pointing to the north: "Go along this road to the end, smash the stone with the eagle carved on it, and what you want is there."

After all, it seemed to feel extremely ashamed, once again raised its head to the sky and screamed, jumped into the cliff.

Cui Zuojing probed, and watched the monster fall, fell heavily on the reef, and was instantly swallowed by the sea.

It was exactly the same as in the legend.

He turned around and asked, "How did you guess that?"

Day and night, when Dong Zheng gave the answer, Cui Zuojing suddenly realized that on the same day, day was born from night, and night also appeared from day. It makes sense after careful consideration, but it is really hard to guess.

Dong Zheng smiled, and said: "The combat power is not good, if the brain can't keep up, I don't have the face to help you."

Cui Zuojing raised his eyebrows, and said: "It's already pretty good, your ability is not a special combat unit... Hey, when you fought Hydera before, did you pass on your thinking to me?"

"Yes, there is a reflection of our blood contract in my inner world, and I seem to be able to pass my thoughts to you through that to a certain extent."

Dong Zheng walked in the direction indicated by Sphinx, while explaining to Cui Zuojing, "At that time, I suddenly saw a path and many phantoms, and thought that was probably the best course of action, so I passed it on to Cui Zuojing. is you."

Cui Zuojing stroked his chin thoughtfully: "Deductive method?"

Dong Zheng: "It's a bit like it. You may have to wait until you have that feeling again to know the specifics, but you followed that path and killed Hydera very smoothly."

Cui Zuojing paused, and couldn't help sighing: "I'm looking forward to seeing you grow up more and more now."

The sun jumped out from the distant sea level, the first ray of bright sky shone on the sea, the islands and the starry sky, the night was dispelled, and the shallow light fell into the dark pupils of Dong Zheng and Cui Zuojing.

Day has come.

The two stopped at the same time, watching the red sun rising slowly, and the cool and humid sea breeze blowing by, Cui Zuojing couldn't help closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.

If you ignore that he is very hungry, it is indeed very enjoyable.

Dong Zheng was hungrier than him. Anyway, Cui Zuojing went back to the prisoner's space for a meal when he was in the underground cavity, but Dong Zheng hadn't eaten a single grain of rice since noon yesterday.

Although Dong Zheng didn't say anything, Cui Zuojing felt sorry for him, and suggested: "Take a break and eat something, anyway, you already know the way, if you are hungry and have no strength at the critical moment, you will be finished."

Dong Zheng said hello, he stopped, his legs were so tired that they were almost no longer his own, he sat down with the trunk of the tree, and massaged the sore muscles.

Cui Zuojing went into the woods with a knife in his hand, and came back shortly afterwards, with blood dripping from the tip of the knife, and holding the ears of two hare corpses.

Cui Zuojing went to pick up some more firewood, and sat cross-legged beside Dong Zheng. He cleaned up the rabbit skillfully and neatly, peeled off the whole skin, tore off a rabbit leg and put it on a skewer. He lit a branch with a flint and started roasting.

The condition of the grass in the center of the core seemed to be much better. Dong Zheng felt a little relieved. He massaged his calves, exhaustion emerged from the depths of every cell, and now when he stopped, he felt sore all over his body.

He was a little afraid that after resting, his body, which was about to be exhausted, would be unable to support him to move forward.

Cui Zuojing concentrated on roasting the rabbit legs. When the meat was charred until it ran out of oil, he wanted to pass it to Dong Zheng to eat, but found that the man fell asleep leaning against the tree trunk at some point.

The boy didn't bother him, looked at the perfectly baked rabbit leg in his hand, and very consciously ate it first.

Dong Zheng slept for three to ten minutes, and suddenly woke up. He opened his eyes and saw that Cui Zuojing was opposite him, and the two of them were in a relatively open place. Heart, lean back on the tree again.

"Are you awake? Eat something before you go to bed." Cui Zuojing handed him the remaining rabbit leg, "It tastes almost tasteless without seasoning, just make do with it."

Dong Zheng picked up the tenderest part and took a bite. Cui Zuojing's skill was good, but there was no seasoning or salt, so it was still a bit hard to swallow.

But Dong Zheng was really hungry, and regardless of the taste, he devoured the rabbit's legs. After he swallowed the last bite, Cui Zuojing roasted the rabbit's body to him again.

The burning sensation in the stomach finally eased a little, Dong Zheng was busy eating the rabbit, Cui Zuojing held his chin to watch him eat, and suddenly said: "The rabbit is so cute, how can I eat the rabbit."

Dong Zheng took a look at him, and tore off a big mouthful of meat, chewing it very vigorously, on purpose.

Cui Zuojing was overjoyed. He pulled out a mineral water bottle from behind as if by magic, which was actually full of water: "When I was looking for firewood, I found a small mountain stream, so I took some."

Dong Zheng took a sip. The water was very clear and smelled like leaves. He drank most of the bottle, and Cui Zuojing took the rest.

The boy boldly wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and got up swayingly: "Wait here, I'll pick up some more."
