Chapter 32 The Sphinx's Crown
The Lion woman came and swung her lion claws and rushed towards Ziggsai. Ziggsai dodged while retreating and shouted: "Feichen!"
A piece of dust rose into the air, making Manda seem to return to the thick fog of the valley. Unlike the valley, under the thick dust, Manda could not open her eyes at all.
Sphinx waved his wings hard, trying to fly away from the dust. Ziggsai stepped on the dust, as if he was stepping on a ladder, and chased him step by step.
Where there is soil, there is a way to feet. This is the talent of Gaia believers. Ziggs runs in the sky faster than the flying Leo woman.
Simply escaping is equivalent to dying. Sphinx's wings instantly became several times bigger. A strong wind blew away a piece of dust and made Ziggas take a few steps back.
The dust on the ground was still rising, and Sphinx's physical strength could not compete with Ziggas's skills. Seeing Ziggas rushing up again, a golden crown suddenly appeared on Sphinx's head.
"In the name of my god, I can get the power of my god and the light of my god!" Sphinx Golden Crown emitted a dazzling golden light, shining on Ziggs, and black smoke rose from Ziggs' clothes.
This is the power of the artifact, this is the power of the demon Sphinx.
Ziggsai fell down the dust. When he landed on the ground, the bearded man who had been preparing for a long time rushed up. Ziggsai took the opportunity to hide behind the beard. Under the golden light, the bearded man was smoking and lay on the ground unconscious.
The golden light could not last long, and the Leo woman's physical strength reached its limit. However, Ziegsai's offensive had not ended yet. The dust dissipated and gravels of all sizes floated up.
Manda hid behind the big tree and hugged her head tightly. The Leo woman, who was already a demigod, was still so hard to face the third-level Zieges. This level of battle was beyond his reach.
Sphinx flew in the air, and the rain made her hair stick to her cheeks, making her more charming than usual.
She raised her head and let out a long roar, as high as a crane and as heavy as a lion's roar. Both voices echoed in her ears at the same time. Manda's chest was painful and she felt her heart was about to break. The bearded man, who was originally unconscious, suddenly hugged his head and rolled on the ground.
However, the little boy and his mother were not affected much, and the hearing of mortals was not so keen.
This voice also had a lot of impact on Ziggsey. He took two steps back and observed Sphinx's next action. As long as Sphinx dared to attack, he would immediately use rocks to sieve her.
The two sides confronted each other for a long time, but Sphinx did nothing, and she seemed to be delaying the time.
Ziggsey looked back at the barracks and he heard some sounds.
It was shouting and killing, and the biting sound from hell.
Three-headed dog! He was attacking the military camp, and Ziggsey was shocked, but he did not dare to leave easily. He did not want to leave his back to Sphinx.
The best choice now is to launch an attack with rocks, which is likely to hit Sphinx hard, but it is also possible to encounter Sphinx's fatal counterattack.
Torres had only one first-order guard around him, and he couldn't hold on in front of the three-headed dog for long. More than a hundred soldiers might be able to withstand it, but if the Viscount's baby son was killed, Ziggsey would be in trouble.
In a dilemma, Manda suddenly jumped behind the mother and son, stepped on the ground hard and said, "Your swamp has disappeared!"
Zieges' swamp has long disappeared. Although he still has a great advantage over Sphinx, he cannot maintain such a huge spell consumption in battle.
"You have sworn like the goddess of earth. You want to let us go, otherwise you will be disloyal to the goddess!"
Manda's words seemed to be threatening, but in fact he found a step for Ziggas. The gravel floating in the air slowly fell down. Ziggas looked up at the Leo woman and squeezed out a smile: "I don't want to participate in your war, and this is not a battlefield. I am just a bounty hunter."
The Leo woman smiled and said, "Do you treat us as prey?"
Ziggsey shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, there are no prey in this mission. My mission is to protect Torres's safety. He is the son of the Viscount, which is related to my reputation and livelihood. If you insist on destroying my livelihood, I can only take your life.
Now you have found out the location of the military camp, and the three-headed dogs can kill many soldiers. You have made a lot of money. If you want to stop, I don’t mind letting you leave.”
This is a wise choice, but Manda is worried that the Leo woman’s IQ will be out of line and insists on being reckless with the other party.
Unexpectedly, Sphinx agreed very happily: "You go and go back to your camp."
Ziggsey shook his head and said, "I may not say clearly enough. I'm asking you to leave."
Sphinx smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't attack you from behind. The chances of success are too low and the price is too high. Go back quickly. If you can't see you, the three-headed dog will not stop."
"I like your wisdom." Ziggsey nodded and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.
Sphinx touched Manda's head: "Be careful, you have completed another task."
Manda looked up at the Leo woman: "Is there any difference between me or not?"
"Of course there is a difference. Without you, who can draw Zieges out of the camp?"
"What if I don't want to run away at all, just stay in the camp and wait for death?"
The Leo woman pinched Manda's little face: "Are you willing to die?"
"You really got it right!" Manda wanted to laugh, but she had been brewing for a while, but she didn't laugh.
He turned his face to look at the little boy, stared at him with his cross-eyed eyes for a long time, and saw a golden light shining on his face.
A gold coin, the little guy appreciated.
The Leo urged Manda to set off, and Manda asked her to wait a moment, and he had something urgent to do.
He turned around, lifted his robe, pissed on the ground, and carefully admired the reflection in the accumulated water.
A bunch of silver coins appeared next to his reflection, probably not a hundred, and he seemed to be a little cheaper than the little boy.
Yes, he has his mother. He is hiding in his mother's arms. At least in his eyes, he is more important than anything else.
Manda blinked and looked at the bearded man who was smoking on the ground. If he had good luck, this little guy might have a father.
"Do you have money?" Manda asked the Leo.
"How much do you want?"
"Two gold coins are good."
The Leo woman gave Manda two gold coins. Manda walked to the bearded man, took out one gold coins and said, "Your name is Og, a believer of Prometheus, I remember correctly, right?"
Og nodded.
"Looking at how you look, you probably don't have a wife, right?"
Og shook his hair and said calmly to Manda: "I'm still very young."
"How young can you be?"
"Four years old."
...
After a long look at each other, Manda confirmed that the other party was not lying, and then looked at the other party's thick beard and wrinkles on his face. It turned out that the believers of Titan also had an extra bonus of time.
Manda pointed to the mother and son and whispered: "Life is not easy. Is it okay to bring them to live together?"
Og first shook his head. He didn't want to bring a pair of burdens, as this would affect his practice.
But looking at the gold coins in Manda's hand, he still agreed. This gold coins are very important to him. He sold himself for the sake of two silver coins, and he also owed Manda a kindness. After all, Manda helped him save his life.
Manda stuffed the remaining gold coin into the little boy's hand and smiled, "What's your name?"
The boy said, "My name is Toka."
"Tokka, I like your name, how can I remember you?" It seems that I was asking the little boy, but in fact, I was looking for the revelation of the gods.
Toka didn't know how to answer, but the voice of his natal god appeared in his ears: "Leave your blood to him, and you will remember your own taste."
The blood was easy to say, his face was covered with it. Manda dipped his blood and wiped the boy's face: "Live, don't die."
Sphinx was not in the mood to see Manda sensational. She grabbed Manda's clothes from behind and disappeared into the night sky with Manda.
Ziggsey ran back to the camp, the three-headed dogs had disappeared, and more than twenty bodies remained on the ground.
"Where are you?" Torres said angrily, "that guy almost destroyed the statue."
"I blocked a demigod and didn't let her get close to the camp."
"You mean Sphinx?" Torres thought for a long time and took Ziggsey back to the tent.
"Hedra (Old Yaman) surrendered to the Marquis, and Sphinx and the three-headed dogs came here to attack my camp. Except for the Earl and Ladon, there were only a few first-order believers and a group of white ducks left in the Valley of Chandon. According to the Marquis' divination, the Earl and Ladon were both seriously injured. If we attack the Valley tonight..."
Ziggas dipped in clean water and wiped the wound on his arm. He was thinking about what to respond to Torres in a tone:
"If we had sneaked into the valley, we might have crossed the river of distress and went to another world. The Count dared to send all his hands out to prove that he was not injured and was fully confident of defeating us."
"Just rely on him and those gangs of soldiers?"
"There is no need for those miscellaneous soldiers. The Count is enough. The power in the valley will make him even more terrifying!"
Torres shook his head and said, "I really don't understand why you are so afraid of him?"
"I hope you can learn to be afraid," Ziggsey made a simple bandage for himself with cotton cloth and stood up, "outside the valley, I can guarantee your safety. Once I enter the valley, I will be helpless."
Torres was silent for a long time and sighed, "The offerings have all been gone, what will be given to Ningfu tomorrow?"
"Isn't there an old woman? I'll use her blood first, and I'll catch a few more people back."
...
When it was almost dawn, Sphinx took Manda back to the valley. According to the rules, she must first cash out the reward for Manda.
"My merits, divine objects, gold coins, any choice."
"I choose gold coins." The choice Manda made still remains unchanged.
"What a pity, I was going to give you that wrist guard," Sphinx asked the waiter to bring three gold coins. "It's what you deserve, but you still owe me two, so you can only give you one."
"One is better than my life!" Manda took the gold coins and turned around and left. The Leo woman reminded him, "Go to find Portia to get some medicinal herbs. I think you are hurt very much."
Manda did not respond. In the corridor, he met Yudora, the harp, and the other party still had a gentle smile on his face.
"Do you want me to take you to Portia's cave?"
"Okay." Manda did not refuse. Climbing down from the castle on the cliff and then into the cave on the other cliff was not easy for the exhausted Manda, and there was no need for him to get along with him.
As for why he was sent to the enemy camp as bait, Manda was not even interested in asking a question.
Yudora carried Manda without flying directly to Porti's cave. She deliberately hovered in the valley for several times.
Manda accidentally put her hand on Yudora's neck.
Yudora smiled: "I really like you, don't do stupid things, good boy."
Manda smiled and said, "I like you too, don't do stupid things, good sister."
