"That's enough here."
Yang Yu stopped in front of the black shadow, raised his head, and took in the black shadow's attributes.
The black shadow not only has a high level of 109, but also all its stats except speed are around 4000. It is a well-deserved dungeon BOSS. It can kill all of Yang Yu and his group with just one slap.
Fighting this monster would be an unspeakable despair.
but
"Okay, human. Now start answering my questions." The shadow's loud voice echoed in the vast space. "First, let's start with the first question. In this vast world, there exists a magical animal."
Hearing this, Yang Yu suddenly recalled a well-known story. Just as he was thinking that it couldn't be that question, the shadow's voice continued: "This magical animal has four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs at night. What exactly is this animal?"
Well, that’s really the problem!
Yang Yu was speechless for a while.
Such a well-known riddle is still used for testing, it is really underestimated.
"Hehe - you can't answer! You only have five minutes to answer. After five minutes, if you don't give me any answer, I will punish you."
"people."
"What?"
Yang Yu said calmly, "I said, the answer to the riddle you just mentioned is human."
The shadow narrowed his blue eyes, "Are you sure this is the answer?"
"Confirmed. To explain in detail, morning, noon and evening represent three periods respectively: morning represents birth, when humans are just born, they are still babies, so they walk on four legs; noon represents adulthood, normal adults walk on two legs; and evening represents old age, when people get older, it becomes a little difficult for them to walk on two legs, so crutches become their third leg."
Yang Yu laughed.
"The hint for the hidden passage has a question about humans. Just now, you even emphasized that I am a human. If someone doesn't know the answer, they would naturally confuse the answer with the animal 'human', right?"
"hahahahahahahaha!"
The shadow laughed wildly.
"Excellent. A very watertight explanation.
However, you are wrong about one thing. Even if we don't emphasize it deliberately, even if we don't tamper with the hints of the hidden passage, most people still won't consider the creature "human" when they encounter this problem.
At the beginning, I mentioned "there is a magical animal". After hearing this, most people have ruled out the option of human beings.
I admit, it's just a simple question once you notice it.
So, don’t be too proud. Next, it’s the second question. Once you’ve answered it, it won’t be too late to be proud.”
"Okay, but before that, I've already answered the first question. Should I and my teammates be given a reward?"
"Haha, I haven't met a human who can bargain with me for hundreds of years. Let me hear what you want. If it's the treasure in the dungeon, you can't take it out of here unless you answer my questions."
"I don't want the treasure in the dungeon."
Yang Yu glanced at Bai Jin and Iyas behind him and said in a voice that both of them could hear clearly,
“Can you remove the curse on me and my companions
You know what I mean
The things we get from defeating ghosts are not magic enhancements at all, but curses you cast on us. As long as we are hostile to you, those curses will be activated and turn us into dust.
We know that we can't defeat you, so you don't have to worry about us attacking you after the curse on us is lifted.
This is the reward I want.”
"Interesting, interesting. As expected of someone who can solve my riddle, you have noticed this. It's okay for me to remove the curse from you."
The black shadow moved its claws, and the blue light peeled off from Yang Yu and the others bit by bit, and turned into strange ghosts again, slowly lighting up the entire dark "cave" and revealing the true appearance of the black shadow.
It was a huge cat.
Yes, it is a cat, with orange-yellow striped fur and white claws. Apart from its blue eyes and being a little bit big, it has no other strange features.
Bai Jin and Yias were stunned when they looked over.
This is not the monster they just thought was scary, it is obviously very cute.
"Okay, the curse on you has been lifted. Eh? What's wrong?"
The loud voice echoed in the cave, and Skajard suddenly realized that something was wrong. The two girls' awe-inspiring eyes suddenly turned kind. Following the shining blue ghost, Skajard lowered his head and saw his white claws exposed.
Skajard quickly took several steps back, hiding himself in the darkness, and turned back into a mysterious shadow.
"Hey—you didn't see anything just now!"
Yang Yu nodded, "I didn't see anything except a giant orange cat."
WDNMD, isn't this all clearly seen!
"Haha - that was just an illusion in the cave. It doesn't matter what it is. Let's move on to the next question."
Skagerd tried to evade the question, but Yang Yu didn't seem to be willing to let go of the topic.
"My companions seem to like the cat very much. If I can answer all the questions, could you please summon the illusion and show it to them?"
Oh my god, what’s wrong with this man—he can actually make such a request without blushing or beating his heart.
Are you trying to take advantage of me after seeing that my true form is a cat
Skagerd was distressed.
To be honest, because it looks like a cat, it is afraid that it will appear to be lacking in dignity, so it arranges this floor like this so that others cannot see its appearance clearly.
Precisely because no one can see its appearance clearly and completely regards it as a monster in the dungeon, it can completely scare the adventurers who enter this level.
Now that it has been exposed, it doesn't know where to put its face.
"Can you please meow?"
Meow, you jungler!
Damn it, this man is completely convinced that I am a harmless little kitten.
Aren’t you afraid that I will eat him in one bite
Wait, did this man realize from the beginning that I was a cat
Skajard frowned, suddenly realizing that things were not simple.
If he really realized from the beginning that I was a bigger cat, everything seemed to make sense, whether it was his unflinching approach or...
Wait a minute, did he approach me on purpose and make that request in order to expose my identity as a cat
If he hadn't been so close, I wouldn't have been illuminated by the ghost's light when I removed the status on him, and they wouldn't have discovered that I was a cat.
Skagerd couldn't help but gasp.
Although the man exuded the aura of a weak person, it could still sense the scent of a natural enemy from him.
