Chapter 694 The Upside Down Maze and the Sphinx
·
Rui Chen 3499
Entering the sixth level, there are not many Hogwarts left, and the members mainly come from the Quidditch team members of the four houses.
Compared with ordinary students, they have more opportunities to exercise and are more able to adapt to such high-intensity competitions.
The maze on the sixth floor was shrouded in mist, and they heard no unnecessary sounds in the mist.
Such a silent mist made them feel uneasy.
Even the employees of the Ministry of Magic stood directly in front of them without any cover-up.
Draco stepped forward and looked up slightly at a tall Ministry of Magic employee, "Are we going in like this? Why aren't you inside?"
"Draco, long time no see!" The tall Ministry of Magic employee, who knew Draco, sounded cheerful, "Because this maze is very special."
"It should be quite suitable for young people like you. As for me... I'd better not get involved. I'm older and can't stand such excitement."
Draco frowned, "Can you tell me more specifically? Is there a way to avoid it?"
"No comment...they are all watching from outside!" The tall Ministry of Magic employee spread his hands, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
A group of Hogwarts warriors did not continue to ask questions. They stepped directly into the fog with full of doubts.
The Hogwarts warriors soon understood why the fog was so unsettling to them - it was because the maze was built into the ceiling.
The moment they stepped into the fog, everyone's bodies were attracted to the ceiling.
Everyone felt that their center of gravity had changed, rotating 180 degrees like a windmill.
The whole world has been turned upside down, the ceiling has been trampled under their feet, their hair is hanging down in the opposite direction, and the original floor has become the ceiling instead.
Harry had quick eyesight and quick hands, and he caught the glasses that almost slipped off his forehead in his hand. His eyes were a little dark, and he could even see a few bright spots.
"Is this what it feels like to have stars in your eyes?" Ron's voice seemed hysterical, and every word seemed to be forced out of his chest, "I feel like my head hurts..."
"Ron... don't talk so much! Otherwise it will hurt more and make you dizzy! Ugh..." Hermione quickly advised from the side, and then made a retching sound.
"This place is too troublesome!" Fred's annoyed voice sounded. "We can only move forward. We can't jump up. At most, we can only leave one foot off the ceiling...the floor?"
"In this case, we can only rely on the wand!" Cedric immediately answered, "And we have to hurry up."
"This place has too many restrictions. If we meet warriors from other schools, we will be passive. After all, we will not be able to use our greatest advantage."
They walked carefully through the maze, and everything seemed so peaceful. They did not encounter any magical animals or magical plants waiting for an opportunity.
But it’s normal to think about it. In such an upside-down maze, most magical animals would probably be overwhelmed. The same is true for magical plants.
This level of maze may be more of a test of physical fitness. After all, the students have already experienced the previous five levels of mazes, and their physical strength and energy are no longer strong.
Even the so-called maze is actually not difficult, just a winding road.
"It's really hard to bear...Fortunately I didn't eat much in the morning!"
"Me too. Thanks to knowing the ruins of the Ministry of Magic, I don't have much appetite either."
"They can see it, but you'd better not go too far...it won't have a good impact!"
"Look ahead! It's the door leading to the next level! We're almost there!"
"But what about the key? We have looked for it along the way, and there are no key fragments!"
"Maybe... the key has to be obtained from that magical animal? After all, it is the only magical animal we saw on the sixth floor!"
"What kind of magical animal is that...it looks so strange!"
Hermione's instinct kicked in and she muttered: "The Sphinx, a magical animal that lives in Egypt."
"With a human face and a lion's body, it is a dangerous animal of the XXXX level... vomit... so uncomfortable..."
"Thank you for your hard work, Hermione!" Zhang Qiu, a little dumbfounded, took over and said, "The Sphinx can communicate with us."
"But the Sphinx's communication method is very special. It usually gives various puzzles, riddles or word puzzles, and we have to answer these word puzzles correctly."
After hearing this, some students immediately complained.
"Guessing charades? Please spare me..."
"My head feels like it's like paste right now. Why am I guessing crossword puzzles?"
"Me too...my eyes are filled with stars right now...I can't even see my fingers clearly...it's so uncomfortable!"
While talking, a group of Hogwarts warriors came to the Sphinx with difficulty.
Only by observing the Sphinx up close can you realize how special this magical animal is.
The Sphinx is huge, not like a lion, but like a rhinoceros.
Compared with the slightly bloated body, the Sphinx has a beautiful head. The high bridge of the nose and the rosy eyes make people easily think of the beauties on the murals in the pyramids.
The Sphinx glanced lazily at the Hogwarts warriors, stretched out its pink barbed tongue, and gently combed its hair.
It seems that because it is too comfortable, the tail will occasionally stand up and tremble a few times, and the hidden claws will also show their sharp edges, seeming to show off something.
If I were to judge, the expression or movements of the Sphinx in front of me might give the Hogwarts warriors a feeling more like a domestic cat getting ready for a lunch break.
Perhaps realizing what the warriors were thinking, Sphinx suddenly stood up, took a few steps forward slowly, and blocked the door to the seventh floor with his body.
Gryffindor's Angelina asked tentatively: "Do you want to take action directly? It seems that apart from its larger size, it's just fine... not as good as a cat or leopard."
Cedric immediately shook his head, "The reason why this magical animal is only rated XXXX is because it is relatively friendly when asking questions."
"Its magic resistance is terrible... It's just because it can communicate easily on weekdays, so the Ministry of Magic didn't add an 'X' to it when rating it."
"I like talking to smart people." Sphinx suddenly spoke, with a pleasant voice and a different kind of charm in his words.
However, hearing such a pleasant voice from the mouth of such a behemoth made the Hogwarts warriors feel their scalps numb and their bodies a little stiff.
