Chapter 1711 (1/2)

It's really strange. Just now because of Hibiscus, Harry seldom felt happy in the dark.

He galloped along the dark path, as if he had a lot of strength in his body, and from time to time he used directional mantras to determine whether the direction was correct.

His desire to win the cup was stronger than ever, but he found himself walking into a dead end. The maze was so big that he never met any other players for a long time.

He counted the numbers in his mind. Hibiscus needed to rest and pause. Krum was knocked unconscious and could not wake up for a few hours. Then he removed himself and Hermione. Then there were six students from other schools in the maze.

Just be careful of the man from the moon mountain in Africa. Animagus, who can use guns, is definitely not an opponent you want to meet in a narrow space.

Harry doesn't take the initiative to attack others, but he's worried that they will take him as prey.

The feeling of being watched came back, but he looked around, but he didn't find a camera with lights in the trees.

As time went by, the sky became more and more gloomy. The dark clouds like black cotton indicated that it might rain soon. But Harry felt that he was lost, and the rain might be fixed.

Neither the rain spell nor the food curse was advanced, but he had never learned either. On rainy days, he only had to stay in the house, eat some candy, and then bake the fireplace with Ron and them.

Now he has some regrets. He knew that he should have spent more time learning basic knowledge in the past, instead of playing wizard chess or chatting with Hagrid.

At this time, he suddenly heard something. When his eyes turned to a long and straight fork road, the light of the magic wand was shining on a very strange monster. He only saw a picture of it in ”where are the magic animals”.

This is the Sphinx, or Sphinx, a specialty of North Africa. It has lion like claws, a long yellow tail, and a tuft of fluffy hair on the tip of its tail, like a small duster.

But she had a woman's head. She should have been following the light. Her round eyes in the dark looked at Harry and purred like she was laughing.

Harry didn't know whether he should have done it first, because if it was the same as the book records, Sphinx preferred riddles to cannibalism, and it was certainly best to avoid wasting his energy in fighting.

P.E. professors have talked about the necessity of reasonable distribution of physical strength in the course. It is not necessary to fight against any enemy. Sometimes it is better to talk about conditions or reason.

She didn't really have the cat's intention of crouching down and then pouncing, just squatting on the path to block Harry's way.

Then she spoke, in a low, hoarse voice: ”you're about ten miles from the target. Of course, the quickest way is through me.”

Her tail swung and pointed behind her.

”Excuse me, then?” Harry replied tentatively.

”No way.” She blocked the path between the hedges, and her big hairy tail swung back and forth: ”unless you can answer my riddle, if you guess me right, I will let you go. If you don't, I will kill you!”

Harry was a little nervous. The answer was Hermione's specialty, but not his.

But there was a flash of light in his mind. If the riddle was too difficult, he could not answer it. As long as he didn't speak, it would not be right or wrong. Sphinx would not hurt him. He could go back and find another way.

”All right.” He took a deep breath, patted his chest and cheered himself: ”please work out the question!”

Sphinx sat down on his hind legs, tilted his head and began to ask:

”there was a man who had five big macaques. He bought them a pile of peaches, but he couldn't share them equally. So he drove away the monkeys and said that he would divide them the next day.”

”But in the middle of the night, a monkey came to him and prayed. He was soft hearted and gave the first monkey a peach, so that the remaining peaches could be shared equally by the five monkeys tomorrow.”
