Chapter 3 Sphinx

Manda raised the stone, her intentions that were obvious.

He was going to smash Quinta's head and then eat his meat, in Jurassic, which was something he had to do every day.

When Manda lifted the stone, Quinta did not react at all. The boy in front of him had exceeded his perception of humanity.

But when the stone falls, he must speak, otherwise he will completely lose the opportunity to speak.

"Wait a minute, I'm a human!"

"People... are not very good to eat people." Manda hesitated for a moment, and the bottom line of her previous life was still there.

But a few seconds later, he raised the stone again.

"But, I'm hungry."

Except for him, there are no other humans in the Jurassic, and all animals can eat. The instinct of the previous life defeated the bottom line of the previous life.

"I beg you to let me go. I will pray for you, pray to the great Tiphon, and beg the Count. The Count will take you in, at least let you live. Don't, don't, wait a moment, there is food here!"

"There is something to eat? Where is it?"

Manda put down the stone. If there was another choice, he could let this little guy go temporarily.

"There are fish here," Quinta pointed to the water pool, "a lot of fish."

Manda stared at the water for a while, and it seemed that there were fish swimming under the waves, and they were not small.

"I didn't lie to you, have you seen it? There are a lot of fish here."

Manda shook her head and said, "But fish are very difficult to catch." This is an experience from previous life. Without tools, catching fish from the water is more difficult than hunting a bird-loving dragon.

"I will catch fish, let me go, I will catch fish for you, I swear to Tifeng, if I turn my promise, I will be willing to be punished." Quinta looked at Manda sincerely.

Manda really raised her feet and let him go, not because she was moved by his sincerity, but because she had the confidence to capture him again.

Quinta was very trustworthy, did not escape or fight back, and he valued his oath very much.

He half-squatted, spread his arms, staring at the water like a clay sculpture.

After a few minutes of stillness, he suddenly inserted his hand into the water, his fingers firmly grasped a fish like a hook, then turned around and threw it on the bluestone beside the pool.

After falling back and forth like this three times, the fish was fainted and lay motionless on the bluestone. The silver fish was about twenty centimeters long and weighed at least one pound.

Quinta smiled and said, "This is the silver pike that came down from the mountain. It's very stupid and easy to catch, but the taste is a bit bad."

Quinta bent down again and muttered something: "This is different. This is a black fish born in the pool. He is very cunning and will escape if he is not careful. Unfortunately, he is unlucky. When he met me today, even if he has wings, he cannot fly out of my palm!"

Quinta suddenly took action, grabbed a black fish, and fell to the bluestone. He bent down again, completely forgot about his fatigue. The process of catching fish was a pleasure for him.

"This kind of fish is hard to catch, but I like the taste. The fish is very delicious, very crispy, and a little bit..."

“A little sweeter.”

"That's right, it's very sweet, how do you know..." Quinta was stunned, and he heard the strange sucking sound.

Turning his face and seeing Manda gnawing on a black fish.

The black fish was still alive, its tail was swinging constantly, and blood was everywhere.

"You eat raw?" Quinta's eyes kept blinking, and he suspected that he had seen a beast with a shape close to humans.

"Did you eat cooked?" Manda looked at Quinta in surprise.

"Of course I eat cooked! God, please look at this place, who created such a savage creature!"

It was incredible that he was despised by Quinta. A monster like Quinta actually knew how to use fire. He carried two stones with him and whispered to the gods: "Great prophet, great enlightener, great creator, great guardian, please give me strength, wisdom, and your most precious wealth."

Quinta collided with stone twice, skillfully lit a ball of dead grass, as magical as the lighter in later generations.

He not only knows how to use fire, but also knows how to cook. Although he is just a simple smoke and roast, he has a very good grasp of the heat.

The technology of fire making technique is very high. Manda has tried countless times in his previous life but has never succeeded, so that he has never eaten a cooked meal in Jurassic.

After eating three grilled fish and one raw fish, Manda burped loudly and lay in satisfaction by the pool.

Quinta squatted aside, stared at Manda for a while, and asked a question that had been suppressed for a long time: "Are you really a human?"

"Of course I am a human. Don't I look like a human?" Manda looked at Quinta with contempt. Is a monster like him still qualified to doubt himself?

"Like! Very similar!" Quinta nodded, then shook his head again, "But there is a smell on your body, which is a bit like a believer of the ancient gods, but not exactly the same."

"What is an ancient god believer?"

"The believers of the ancient gods are the followers of the gods. What I am talking about is the real gods. I will take you to find the earl. As long as you don't deceive him, I believe he will not hurt you."

"Earl?" Manda was stunned, "Is it what you said about Tifeng?"

"Sin is a great sin. Don't mention the name of the gods in such a contemptuous tone, and don't confuse the gods with believers," said Quinta very seriously. "The Count, like us, is the believer of Tifeng. He is the favorite eldest son of the great Tifeng. Believe me, as long as you sincerely beg, he will take you in."

Manda's heart tightened, and he seemed to know the other party's identity, he was a heretic.

According to the original owner's memory, there was only one real god in this era, that is, the Lord of God's Punishment, and the rest of the gods were evil gods, and the believers of the evil gods were heresy, especially those ancient gods and ancient believers.

Although Manda has no idea about faith, heresy will be burned to death at the stake, which is completely inconsistent with his desire to survive.

"Go to your gods and counts! I won't beg for anyone!" Manda sat up and said, "I should leave after eating and drinking, and I'm glad to know you, Quinta."

Quinta sighed and said, "You can't go, you can't go anywhere. No one can live out of the valley of resentment."

Manda sneered: "Then I want to give it a try."

"You try it, I've fulfilled my promise, and my vows have ended here," Quinta stepped back a few steps, "She's here."

"Who is here?" Manda immediately stood up, picked up a stone, and observed the surroundings vigilantly.

"Sphinx is here, she will ask you questions, you'd better be able to answer them, so that you still have hope of living."

Sphinx, a very familiar name, seems to have seen it in a book.

Manda was thinking, and a graceful figure suddenly appeared in the fog.

In this era, women's clothes are very generous, and the difference between the two genders in clothing is not obvious.

But why is her figure so clear? Could it be that she is not wearing it...

I haven't had such an experience for more than 80 years. Manda is very excited about the next scene, but this does not mean that he has relaxed his guard. The stone in his left hand is very firmly grasped, and the golden finger in his right hand has been opened.

The figure got closer and closer, and a soft and mature tone sounded in my ears: "New guest, what's your name?"

Manda curled her lips: "Why should I tell you?"

"What a pity, I was wrong in the first question."

As the words came to the ground, the woman suddenly rushed to Manda and held Manda's neck with one hand.

Manda tried to fight back with a stone, but unexpectedly, there were suddenly a pair of wings behind the woman, and she grabbed Manda and flew up.

If he was holding Manda's waist or something else, Manda would never be so painful.

But she grabbed Manda's neck and kept catching it to a height of more than ten meters. This feeling was almost no different from hanging.

"Young man, I'll ask you another question: What can you go out and come in, but you will definitely come in during meals."

Go out and come in.

This problem is very simple. It is the tongue. The tongue can be spit out, but it must be taken back into the mouth when eating.

Manda repeated the answer countless times in her heart, but unfortunately he couldn't say it, and his neck was still pinched by the woman.

"What a pity, you can't answer," the woman took Manda around in the air for a while, and continued, "I'll give you another chance, what's going on since birth?"

Manda was almost fainting. He wanted to use his golden finger, but this woman was changing the direction of her flight. Manda, who had lost the center of gravity, could not control her arms, not to mention that his breathing was also interrupted.

The difference in strength was too great, so Manda decided to give up resistance. He threw away the stone in his hand and said that he would not fight back. Then he pointed at his neck with difficulty, saying that he could not speak.

"Poor child, you can't make a sound, it's not fair to you."

The woman let go of her hand, and Manda fell rapidly in free fall, but when she was halfway through, the woman grabbed Manda's clothes from behind and lifted him up.

"Answer my question, boy, this is your last chance."

What has been growing since birth?

The overlap of suffocation and frightening has caused Manda to lose her ability to think.

"There is no way, you can't answer even if you give it a chance." The woman flew higher than before. When she was about to throw Manda down and die, she suddenly heard Manda shouting, "It's hair!"

The woman flapped her wings and stood still in the air. Manda faced down and could not see her appearance, but she heard her crying.

"You answered correctly," the woman sobbed, "You answered correctly, it's so shameful. I lost, and the loser is not worthy of living in this world!"

As the words came to the ground, the woman's wings stopped and she wanted to commit suicide. This was the rule of Sphinx.

The two of them turned into free falls in the air at the same time. Manda's eyes turned black and she shouted: "Crazy Woman, suicide is your own business!"

Before landing, Manda fainted. No one could hold on to such an exciting game several times.

The woman flapped her wings and slowly landed on the ground. Quinta hurriedly walked up and said, "Sphinx, you can't kill him. He's very special. Do you smell that smell?"

"Of course I smelled it!" The woman looked at Quinta with contempt, "Just just a white duck, what qualifications do you have to preach to me?"

"I just want to remind you," Quinta said with a red face and lowered her head, "Let's leave him to Lord Earl."
