Somehow the sand storm already right in front of them and a huge figure vaguely could be seen behind it. The figure had a human head yet with large lion body. One could vaguely saw two large wings behind the creature and the tail was made of serpent head.
The figure was as tall as the wall, even bigger than griffin in his true form. It was at least 10 meters tall, her body was as long as a bus and as gigantic as a mammoth. Every step the creature made successfully made the sand trembled creating a small earthquake for those around.
"Is that...sphinx? But the sphinx I know only has a human head and body of a lion!" Li Shi Ying almost puked just by seeing the figure behind the sand storm. If that's not a monster what else is that? What a terrifying figure! This is truly what a monster would look like.
Since the Sphinx was a female then the face must be a female face too right? She shouldn't look that scary then...still, with those large wings and snake tail...no wonder, even Ge Lifen and Qi Tou won't be able to face her.
She bet those wings weren't a mere decoration!
"That is a Greek Sphinx unlike ancient Egypt sphinx, this sphinx is stronger by a few folds. The wings enable her to battle even griffin in the air and the tail...it must be poisonous enough to rival Qi Tou poison. She also can control sand...she is basically unbeatable!"
Di Yu gripped Li Shi Ying's sleeves ready to protect his mistress as he explained by the sphinx didn't look like the usual sphinx they knew. The Queen of the land...she could also fly and use poison! Who could beat her this way then?
"Greek sphinx? I just know there's sphinx in Greek mythology too" Li Shi Ying subconsciously tightened her grip on Long Ao Zhen's arm. She could only watch as the sand storm come closer and she couldn't do anything about it.
Should she counter with another sandstorm? But she bet the sphinx would control the sand instead. What about a rainstorm? Nah that won't do anything to fight the Sphinx. Can they just hide from this beast and pray they won't be noticed??
"Calm down I'm here. Worse come worse I'll just transform into my dragon form" Long Ao Zhen noticing Li Shi Ying's face was pale, patted the girl's back with a smile on his face. He won't let his girl got hurt even by the slightest scratch!
"Mn...thanks" Li Shi Ying cheek became red again as the girl snuggled closer to the guy. Somehow she did rely a lot on this man. If only she could remember all the memories she spends with him…
"She's here beware" Di Yu suddenly warned Li Shi Ying and Long Ao Zhen. He just saw that all the other cultivators had been swallowed by the sand storm and couldn't help but gulped his saliva nervously. The boy could feel the sand below his feet was trembling and the wind became stronger all of sudden.
The sand storm was right a few meters away in front of them! If they didn't use the metal barrier they would be done for already.
"Let's pray that the sphinx won't notice us" Li Shi Ying dragged Di Yu and Long Ao Zhen to move away to a rather inconspicuous place. They saw a huge rock and decided to hide behind it. After all, there wasn't any building in the place so they couldn't hide anywhere!
"She seems mad so she will rant all her anger away to us, strangers who dare to step inside her land" Di Yu peeked out from the rock as he grumbled. He bet the sphinx would notice them as they were the only human alive in this land!
Those cultivators they saw earlier had all died a tragic death. Let's not mention this in case Li Shi Ying puked all day later.
Just like what Di Yu thought, the sphinx looked around while the sand storm still devoured everything surrounding it. The sphinx then stops moving and suddenly turned her big head toward their direction.
This monster indeed noticed them! Is there no other way than battling her? Then Long Ao Zhen had to transform right? Jiu Wei told her that if Long Ao Zhen went back to his dragon form he would be punished and she won't be able to see him for a long time.
It's weird how she didn't want that to happen despite her memories of this man was very little. It's close to being a stranger.
"God…she noticed us way too fast! She must use the sand to detect any living being. The sand below us is her ally what can we do?" Di Yu cursed the sphinx as he raised his guard. The surrounding was already so hot to the point of making them feel like being roasted alive and now there was a huge destroyer sand storm along with a gigantic sphinx coming their way.
They also lost the cactus to someone else. Could they be more unlucky than now?!
"Humans...you are quite strong to survive huh" a cold voice of a woman suddenly rang throughout the land startling the three of them. They didn't expect the sphinx to speak! When she spoke, it was as if a thunder strike the earth.
So overbearing! This is the might of a legendary Greek sphinx ah.
