Chapter 695 The Frustrated Sphinx

After taking care of the blast-ended snail, Ivan didn't waste a moment and quickly passed through the hole that had just been blasted.

He knew that the explosion that just sounded would definitely attract more monsters. If he didn't want to get into an endless battle, he had to move fast!

Ivan walked all the way in the dark, exploring the dim maze with only a little fluorescence emitted from the tip of the wand.

Just as he felt himself slowly approaching the center of the maze, an extremely strange monster suddenly came into view, lying in front of him like a statue.

It looks like a frighteningly large lion, with a majestic body and terrifying claws, but what is surprising is that its head looks like an intellectual witch.

"Sphinx!" Ivan murmured to himself.

He had seen this kind of monster in "The Book of Monsters". It was a magical creature originating from ancient Egypt. The wizards there liked to use sphinxes to guard some precious treasures. In his previous life, he was reading ancient Greek mythology. I was also deeply impressed by it.

"Stop, young man!"

Before Ivan could get close, Sphinx stepped in the middle of the road, stared at Ivan with a pair of long almond eyes, and spoke in a hoarse and low voice. "You need to answer my questions to move forward!"

"Sorry, I'm in a hurry! Sphinx, could you please give in a little bit?" Ivan held the wand and asked.

"This is the rule! Only the warriors who guess correctly are eligible to move forward! Otherwise, you can find another way to the end." Sphinx raised his head and said arrogantly.

Then ignoring Ivan, Sphinx cleared his throat and happily prepared to start the guessing game.

He thought about this riddle for several days, but it was definitely not that easy to guess...

"Confringo~ (Thunderbolt Explosion)"

Just when the Sphinx was about to speak, Ivan raised the wand first, and a wisp of hot flame slowly floated out from the top of the wand, then quickly expanded and turned into a ball with a diameter of two meters. The big fireball surged toward the Sphinx with astonishing power.

The scorching firelight occupied its entire field of vision, and at the same time blocked the Sphinx's words.

Before it could react, the huge fireball flew over its head and hit the tall hedge behind it.

The fire shot up into the sky, and the huge roar echoed continuously in the narrow passage. The accompanying rolling heat wave almost set its hair on fire. The Sphinx's long almond eyes were wide open and stiff. Turning around, I found that half of the hedge behind me had collapsed.

"Can I go over? Sphinx?" Ivan put down the wand in his hand and asked again.

Sphinx swallowed, moved his body and shrank into a corner, pointing to the road ahead with his paw. "Please, sir!"

"Thank you!" Ivan nodded with satisfaction, put away his wand and walked towards the opening that had just been blown up.

But when he passed by the Sphinx, the huge beast suddenly moved. Ivan subconsciously thought that the Sphinx wanted to sneak attack him, so he drew out his wand and pointed at it as quickly as possible.

Sphinx hurriedly knelt down, saying that he was harmless to humans and animals, and said aggrievedly. "Sir, I just wanted to remind you that the answer to your question is spiders!"

Ivan looked at the sphinx in front of him speechlessly. It seemed that the "Monster Book of Monsters" recorded it correctly. They really like to guess riddles.

But he doesn’t even know the content of the riddle, so what’s the use of telling him the answer?

Ivan shook his head, too lazy to pay attention to this guy, and continued to move forward.

After climbing over a collapsed hedge, Ivan finally saw the goal of his trip. The Triwizard Tournament trophy, which represented the final victory, was placed on a large one-meter-high base.

Ivan cautiously approached the base, his nerves tense to the extreme, always on guard against anything unusual. After approaching, he gently tapped the trophy with his wand.

The magic flowed down the rim of the cup, and slowly the entire trophy lit up.

"Very good, it's a real trophy, it hasn't been tampered with!" After Ivan used detection magic to investigate, he finally felt relieved and picked up the trophy.

…

At the same time, Harry, who was second in action, also stepped into this huge maze with a sharp whistle.

Entering here is like entering another space. The noise and noise outside instantly disappeared without a trace, replaced by huge roars one after another.

Of course Harry knew that these noises were caused by Ivan, so he simply followed the direction of the sound.

However, Harry soon regretted his reckless decision. He was attacked four times after traveling only two to three hundred meters.

Among them, the most difficult one to deal with was the Explosive-tailed Skrewt cultivated by Hagrid. The hard shell with spikes on its back was extremely stiff. He cast the Split Curse several times in succession but was unable to break through the opponent's defense. Finally, he accidentally hit it. It was only through the soft belly of the blast-tailed snail that it could be solved.

So within a few minutes of entering, Harry was already disgraced. This maze was more dangerous than he imagined. If it weren't for the fact that his spell skills had improved greatly after these few months of training, he might have been forced to give up the competition long ago. , applied for off-site support.

Harry ran forward panting, and when he crossed an aisle corner, he suddenly felt the ground shaking.

Was there an earthquake?

Harry was confused and just when he was confused, he saw Ivan's figure appearing on the other side of the passage.

"Ivan!"

Harry greeted happily, knowing that he no longer had to stay in this dangerous maze.

Ivan on the other side naturally saw Harry, but he had no intention of saying hello and shouted loudly with a solemn expression.

"Run back, Harry!"

Harry's forward steps paused, and then he saw several two-meter-long crab legs extending from the end of the passage, followed by a hard carapace and a huge body.

That's a squid!

And it’s a bunch of snails!

Harry's scalp went numb after seeing this scene. How many of these monsters did Hagrid have?

What made him even more frightened was that in addition to the blast-ended snails, giant spiders, red hats, and some strange-looking magical creatures whose specific species they couldn't identify also appeared.

Harry couldn't help but wonder if Ivan had attracted all the monsters in the maze!

But now was obviously not the time to think about it. Before Ivan could remind him a second time, Harry turned around in a hurry and ran away...

It's just that compared to their running speed, the monsters move obviously faster...
