Chapter 448 Sphinx

Fortunately, the fireworks for help were hung on the waist of the warrior, and the wand was lost, so Furong had to release the fireworks for help.

There was an uproar in the audience. Not long after the game started, a warrior was completely disqualified from the game. The intensity of the game can be imagined.

Krum also encountered a snail. There are quite a few snails in the maze. Hagrid kept a large group of snails. After they killed each other, there were still more than ten alive. The huge monsters were placed in this labyrinth.

The fried tail snail standing in front of Krum was like a giant scorpion, with long stinging needles curled up on its back, and its thick armor gleaming under the fluorescent light.

Unlike Cedric's escape, Krum dealt with it very calmly. He used a very useful black magic to make the bombing snail lose its combat effectiveness all of a sudden. The exploding snail only had time to spew out a flame, and he didn't have the strength to shoot, letting Krum leave from it.

"It should be the creation of weak black magic." George looked at Krum's shot and guessed.

Fried-tailed snails are specially cultivated creatures by Hagrid. They are large in size, but they are not fully developed. Weak spells can cause them to collapse inside, making the blow-tail snails vulnerable to normal magic.

Krum seems to be very good at dealing with things in the maze. He bypassed one fork after another, avoided one trap after another, and walked quickly towards the center of the maze.

"Krum is already ranked first." The students in the stands began to make noise again.

"I knew Krum would win. He was the best player in the Quidditch game." A Krum admirer immediately defected from his school's position and defected to Krum's camp .

"Why don't Harry hurry up." Some people couldn't help complaining.

"Cedric, Cedric..." Hufflepuff's student let out a sigh. Cedric had just run in the wrong direction in a panic to avoid the exploding snail, and was far behind the other two.

On the screen, Harry's speed is not slow, he walks very cautiously, but because of this, he rarely makes mistakes. Even if he encounters a dead end, he can turn out immediately.

Although he did not intend to win the game, he still moved forward step by step at a constant speed.

Kerim was fast all the way. He turned the fork all the way and unlocked the trap. He was almost at the center of the maze.

Just in the anxiety of the students, he finally encountered a problem that he had to stop.

A behemoth stood in the way of the center of the labyrinth, a familiar creature, the Sphinx. It is the famous Sphinx, a sphinx from Egypt that has long been used by wizards to guard their precious objects and secret places.

Sphinxes are very intelligent animals and they love riddles and anagrams. But when they are guarding things, they can become very dangerous.

The sphinx's body is like a lion that has been enchanted with magnification. It has a woman's head, huge claws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of hair at the tip of the tail.

It stood in the way of the maze and asked Krum a question, "You're very close to your goal. Just figure out a way to get past me."

It walked up and down the passage, blocking its way, said.

"Unless you can answer my riddle, you will never pass. You only have one chance. If you guess the answer, I will let you pass immediately. If you guess wrong, I will jump right in. If you don't answer, I will can let you go away without hurting you"

Krum ignored the Sphinx's words. He stepped back and left the passage. He crouched down and hid in a bush.

There was an uproar in the stands, and the Hogwarts students shouted loudly, "He's too cunning. He couldn't answer the question, so he just hid himself. Is he planning to sneak attack on the warriors coming from behind?"

"Who said Krum couldn't answer the question,

He didn't even listen to the question, he just didn't want to answer it. "Durmstrong's students immediately defended their warriors, and they were very understanding of Krum's reaction.

This is much easier than answering the Sphinx. There is only one chance. Who knows what questions the Sphinx will ask. The Sphinx is not a monster to fool. Obviously waiting for others to test it out, thinking about how to deal with it is the best way.

George also quite agrees with Krum's choice, and it's always good to make a move. A chance attempt, only a fool who relies on luck will take a chance. Otherwise, it is better to take a different path and choose another way, and it is better to take risks.

Not only is Krum a good choice, but his luck is also good, and the idiot who relies on luck is coming soon.

Harry and Krum took the same path, walking slowly and cautiously, but few mistakes gave him enough time, and he came to the Sphinx.

"You're very close to your goal. Just answer my question and I'll let you go." The Sphinx said in a low, hoarse voice.

It stared at Harry with huge eyes and said, "You only have one chance, guess the answer right once, and I'll let you pass. If you guess wrong, I'll jump right in. If you don't answer, I can let you go. go away without hurting you"

"Let's talk about it." Harry didn't care about the ownership of the trophy, so he didn't care about the Sphinx's question, whether he could answer it.

The sphinx sat on her hind legs, in the middle of the road, and read.

"First think about who always wears a mask, acts secretly, and tells lies. Then tell me what is always stitched up, the middle of the middle, the tail of the tail? Finally tell me when I can't think of a word, which word is often Spoken. Now connect them, and answer me, what is the animal you don't want to kiss?"

Harry only felt that his mind was cluttered, and at this time he started to miss Hermione, which was her best game. Had Hermione been there, she would have guessed the riddle very quickly.

But he still turned his head, trying to analyze the answer behind the riddle.

"With a mask," he said to himself, glaring at the sphinx, "always lies... er... that's-imposter. No, that's not my answer! It's-spy( spy)?"

"The next thing is always stitched up, and the middle of the middle, the words I often say when I can't think of a word, spy...er...spy...er, the animal I don't want to kiss... is the spider !spider!"
