System: Replicating The Heavens

Chapter 70 Ch 70: Riddles

Alex looked at the bronze puppet with a solemn expression.

"Roar!"

The bronze puppet was getting impatient as it saw no matter how it injured Alex, Alex would always swallow a pill and recover. It bent its waist and let out a loud roar.

Alex's eyes moved slightly and saw a faint green light in the bronze puppet's huge mouth.

"It's in its mouth! Fuck!"

Alex's face showed a trace of hesitation. At this time, the bronze giant attacked him again. Alex gritted his teeth and did not retreat. Instead, he advanced. The bronze giant saw this ant appear in front of him. He clapped his hands hard, wanting to slap Alex to death. In the end, Alex dodged the attack with a flash, barely avoiding its attack. Then he rushed into its mouth.

Alex saw many small and strange things spinning in the bronze giant's mouth. At the same time, a huge green crystal appeared in his eyes.

"That's it!"

Alex flew to the front of the green crystal and forcefully pulled it out, causing the angered puppet to suddenly stop in its track and look straight with a blank expression on its face.

"Finally! I was finally able to deal with it!"

Alex looked at the green crystal in his hand and sighed. He could feel enormous energy swimming inside this green crystal. It was no wonder this crystal could support the puppet and make it attack him with such powerful strength every time.

Taking a deep breath, Alex stored the green crystal inside his spatial ring.

At this time, the middle-aged man's attention was instantly focused on Alex, for Alex's method of dealing with the Bronze Puppet was entirely different from others. Other people relied on their strength to fight the Bronze Puppet, but Ale relied on his strategy to fight. This alone was enough to prove that Alex is different from others.

"Em?"

The middle-aged man suddenly frowned and a deep look appeared in his eyes. Then he muttered in a low voice, "Why do I feel a mark left behind by my Master on this little guy's body? What is his relationship with my master, the Earth King?"

Not being able to understand, the middle-aged man shook his head and sighed. Then the corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled into a faint smile as he muttered: "Interesting. I wonder if you'll be able to pass the next stage as easily as you did in this stage."

Alex discovered that after he put away the green crystal, not far away from him, there was a fluctuation of the spirit energy. Then, right in front of Alex, a door emitting a green light appeared. This door didn't seem to have a physical body. It was pitch black inside and no one knew what kind of spatial zone it was.

Alex hesitated for a moment, then he stepped into the door. When his eyes cleared up, he found himself in an incomparably huge spatial zone. In the center of this spatial zone, there was a huge stone tablet.

In addition to Alex, there were only six people in the vicinity. They were Ivaan, Aayan, Aaban, Eloise, and two other people. As for others, after being heavily injured by the Bronze Puppets, they were transported out of the Earth King's Temple.

When Alex appeared, all these people's eyes were fixed on him.

Ivaan, Eloise, and Aayan's eyes were calm. However, Aaban and another person were looking at him with hatred in their eyes.

"Junior Alex, you are here. It is good that you are safe!"

Ivaan sized up Alex head to toe and said.

Alex smiled and nodded his head in response.

"Alright, everyone is here."

At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly appeared in front of everyone and said indifferently.

"Senior, my junior brother, and the others haven't arrived yet." At this time, a person mustered up his courage and said.

"Those who haven't come here, I have already sent them all out of Earth King's Temple. Don't worry, none of them have died." The middle-aged man said faintly.

Everyone was somewhat shocked in their hearts when they heard the middle-aged man. Now, out of ten people, only six people were able to come to this place.

Just how difficult it is to obtain the legacy of Earth King?

Everyone, excluding Alex, none of them had discovered that the bronze giant was a puppet. Only Alex had discovered it. All of them only thought that the Bronze Giant was a monster who was released to test their strength.

Well, they were only half right!

"Senior, is there any other test?" Another person named Memba Tianqi asked with a smile.

"Look at that stone tablet?" The middle-aged man said indifferently and pointed at the stone tablet.

"Stone tablet?"

Everyone looked at the huge stone tablet at the center of the area and nodded their heads.

"There are a few questions on it. Whoever can answer them as soon as possible, I will let them accept Earth King's inheritance" The middle-aged man's lips curled into a smile, and said.

"Answer the questions?"

Astonishment appeared on everyone's faces. They had originally thought that they would be facing an existence even more terrifying than the bronze giant, but now, they were actually answering the question?

"If you want to become the inheritor of the legacy left behind by Earth King, you can't only use your strength to prove yourself. You also need to use your brain sometime?" The middle-aged man said with a smile.

The expression of some people changed which caused dissatisfaction to rise in the middle-aged man's body. The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Whoever doesn't want to, you can tell me now. I will send you out."

Everyone remained silent. No one chose to leave.

"Since you are unwilling to leave, then answer the question. I will only give you three days. If you can't answer the question, all of you'll be considered to be eliminated. I'll kick all of you out of Earth King's Temple!"

After saying that, the middle-aged man disappeared from everyone's sight once again.

Everyone looked at each other, then immediately rushed towards the stone monument.

Whoever answered first would be able to receive the Earth King's inheritance. Thus, they couldn't waste any time.

"What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night?"

"Journey without it and you will never prevail, but if you have too much of it, you will surely fail."

"If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I?"

"We hurt without moving. We poison without touching. We bear the truth and the lies. We are not to be judged by our size!"

"Everyone wants more of it to feel special, yet the more you have of it the less special you feel."

There were a total of five questions on the stone tablet. These questions made everyone's face turn ugly.

"What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three at night? How would I know that? Isn't it better to just test our strength by letting us fight? Whoever wins in the end will inherit the legacy of Earth King. Why would you have to test our brains? In this world, only strength matters, after all, no matter how clever you are, you'll die immediately when facing a behemoth you can't go against."

Aaban said with a sneer on his face. But he didn't dare to show his dissatisfaction to the middle-aged man.

"Journey without it and you will never prevail, but if you have too much of it, you will surely fail."

Memba Tianqi and the others also looked puzzled when they saw these questions. Actually, these were all riddles and they have to solve these riddles if they want to obtain the inheritance of Earth King.

No matter how hard they think, they couldn't think of what Earth King actually wanted by setting up this kind of test.

Everyone's thoughts were the same as Aaban's. In everyone's eyes, only strength matters in this world. Even if you are a fool, if you are powerful enough, even the strongest dragon will fear and respect you.

Then why does the Earth King want to test one's brain instead of strength? What exactly is his motive for leaving behind such a test?

These kinds of questions appeared in everyone's mind but none of them has answers.

"If you have me, you want to share me. If you share me, you haven't got me. What am I?"

"Heh! It seems like we have no fate with this inheritance."

Aayan laughed bitterly and said in a low voice while looking at these riddles.

Ivaan glanced at Aayan and said, "You're right. I think no one can answer these questions. We have no fate with the inheritance left behind by the Earth King!"

Everyone lost their motivation and disposition at this moment. Disheartened expressions appeared on everyone's faces.
