Chapter 984: Chapter 984: Sphinx 4

Pan Xiaoxin had already climbed quite a distance; it seemed like he could hear shouting and cursing from behind him, so he quickened his pace.

"Damn it!" Daniel grabbed his backpack and started climbing upwards with hands and feet!

Bruce and Mute were woken up by the commotion and hurriedly followed suit.

"How can this kid climb so fast?!" Daniel cursed while climbing, "Had I known, I wouldn’t have listened to you two! What if he gets to the sword first?! I can’t afford to lose to a kid like this, that would be too humiliating!"

He stopped, took out his slingshot, and tried to aim once again!

But shooting upwards was very different from shooting downwards; the sunlight above was blinding, making it impossible for him to target Pan Xiaoxin.

This slight delay allowed Pan Xiaoxin to widen the gap again.

"Chase him!" Bruce said, "The kid won’t have that much stamina, he’ll definitely stop to rest after a while, we just need to speed up!"

"Damn!" Daniel cursed again, helplessly putting away the slingshot.

Ahead, Pan Xiaoxin continued to climb upwards. He knew he was weak, and even though he was wearing the Lucky Stone and Miss Liu’s longevity lock, facing those three men was very dangerous, so the best strategy was to keep his distance!

He must stay far from them!

The sun was blazing, its burning light showing no signs of weakening, as if the journey wasn’t about reaching the top but rather climbing towards the sun.

As the distance to the summit grew closer, Pan Xiaoxin climbed desperately upwards, his whole body drenched in sweat; even his backpack felt as though it was soaked through, becoming incredibly heavy.

He hesitated over whether to stop and discard some food from the backpack to lighten the load, but seeing the adults who could catch up at any moment, he dared not stop.

"What the hell! How can the brat have so much stamina?!" Daniel cursed, "He’s been climbing so long without even catching his breath! I’m about to die of exhaustion!"

Mute, who was far behind, weakly called out to Daniel and Bruce: "Wait for me! Ah... damn, I’m going to die from tiredness..."

"Wait for nothing!" Daniel angrily retorted, "Just drag your feet! If you lag any further, that brat will get to the sword!"

Daniel felt a surge of frustration, his hands and feet climbing with renewed effort, but to no avail as his calves trembled uncontrollably, badly overexerted.

Looking up, he saw Bruce climbing to a higher position, closing in on Pan Xiaoxin.

"Nice one!" Daniel immediately said, "Bruce! Go catch that kid!"

Without turning back, Bruce replied, "Shut your mouth and save your energy."

Daniel scoffed, "Pff, acting all high and mighty."

He shook his arms and resumed climbing; when he looked up, he saw something faintly revealed at the far-off summit.

It looked like a massive statue, and it seemed... to be moving?

...Was it alive?

Daniel’s face turned pale as he couldn’t help but shout: "Hey! What is that?!"

Pan Xiaoxin, hearing his voice, also looked up and was instantly stunned.

—It was the Sphinx!

He saw the great Sphinx!

It lay on the top, surrounded by giant stone swords, like a beast resting in its nest, waiting for prey to fall into its trap!

According to the legends, the Sphinx sat near the cliffs of Thebes City, posing a riddle to each passerby; those who answered incorrectly were killed!

So, was the final challenge of this game to solve the riddle of the Sphinx?

Pan Xiaoxin remembered the game he chose required the lowest Combat Power, meaning it was inclined towards intellectual challenges; this climb to the sky didn’t count for much!

Pan Xiaoxin gritted his teeth and continued to climb upward!

He had to be the first to answer and snatch the King’s sword!

"Stop him at all costs!!!" Daniel shouted from below, "Bruce! We can’t let him be the first to solve the riddle! Otherwise, we’re all done for!!!"

Bruce had already sped up, but there was still a distance to cover!

Daniel muttered curses under his breath and pulled out the slingshot again, taking aim at Pan Xiaoxin—
