Rod's question was beyond Zina's knowledge, and she didn't know how to answer Rod's question for a while.

As everyone can see, there were more than 10 million Axids involved in the siege of today's battle - unless they usually eat sand, this desert will not be able to feed them.

"The reality is, these Axids are not natives here." Seeing that Xena couldn't answer, Rhodes finally spoke again, "These Void Worms originally came from the Void Abyss deep underground, so there are so many of them, and they can be endless!" ”

Xena blinked, surprised, but couldn't find any basis to refute it—as Rhodes had said, these Void Worms were pouring out of the ground in an endless number that was clearly beyond the limits of what the environment could bear.

"Maybe it's something else." Zina's tone was slightly weaker, "You don't have any evidence to prove it......"

"No, I have." Rhodes took out a piece of chitin-like ingredient that had been peeled off the wall of the Axei wormhole and shook it in front of Xena's eyes, "You should have seen this thing - once we find the abyss that leads to the void, we can compare them and see if they are a thing."

Hearing Rod say this, Xena still shook her head, indicating that she didn't believe it.

Seeing that Zina still didn't believe him, Rod didn't seem surprised, he just reminded him with words, "Believe it or not, always be vigilant", and then manipulated the flying carpet and began to fly towards the southeast.

It's dangerous to fly high in the desert, but if it's not far, it's not a big problem – just avoid sandstorms.

……………………

Before encountering the sandstorm, the group finally saw the first hernia.

From above, these cracks look like scars on the earth, a shocking sight to see with the naked eye.

"This is a ground hernia." Seeing that the desert had a tendency to wind, Rhodes controlled the flying carpet and landed next to the ground hernia, "The traces left by the void after rushing out of the earth, the scars that belong to this world." ”

And as the flying carpet fell to the ground, when everyone approached the hernia, everyone realized its enormity and horror even more.

From the sky, these hernias are wounds; But when standing next to a hernia, these huge protruding solidified rock masses are more like stagnant fountains, and even Zina has to admit that the only possibility that can create this shape is that something is spewing out from the ground.

Rhodes elementalized himself, motioned for the others to step back, and slowly and carefully approached the hernia himself.

The aura of the Void was slowly overflowing, and although this would not cause much trouble to Rod, if someone else came, he was likely to be affected by the Void and produce some irreversible changes.

Next to the hernia, Rhodes removed part of the hernia material.

"See." Holding the two pieces of material in front of everyone, Rhodes knocked them into each other, "This is the solidified void - isn't the fact that the Axworm can create a small amount of void matter while digging a tunnel, isn't that enough to explain their identity?" ”

Xena was speechless.

As Rhodes said, this terrible monster now does not seem to be a native creature, but comes from the ground, and has "spewed" from the ground at one time.

Seeing that Xena was no longer talking, Rod nodded in satisfaction.

"You see, now on the first point, we've come to a consensus - the Exai predator is not a native product, but has been brought out of the abyss underground, no problem, right?"

“…… No problem. Although a little reluctant, Xena nodded in acknowledgment of Rod's statement, "These guys do come from the void you said. ”

"Next, let's find out what the Void is." Rod nodded with satisfaction, "I will arrange for you to touch the Void to a certain extent, and then you can feel for yourself what the Void is - now, Xena, you go there and plant a tree." ”

Zina hesitated a little when she heard this, and then began to plant trees as Rod requested.

With the help of the sand birch seeds she had preserved, Xena quickly planted a small sand birch.

"Good, good." Rod nodded, "Now, you control the sand birch and get close to the hernia - move quickly, preferably with one touch." ”

Under Xena's control, the tiny sand birch began to twist towards the crack of the earth—and then, before it could even touch the breach, a terrible force came from the hernia, and in the face of this terrible force, the sand birch, though deeply rooted in the ground, was easily swept into the hernia.

The next moment, Zina spit out a mouthful of blood directly.

Just now, she completely lost the information of this sand birch, which disappeared silently into the hernia as if it had never existed.

At the same time, a terrifying voice finally appeared in Zina's head.

"Hungry ......"

Compared to the frozen void in Freljord, Acacia's starving void seemed to be weaker - under the huge void will, Xena did not appear to be confused, she was only shocked by this indescribable hunger, and she was currently a little distracted.

"So, do you feel the void?"

Xena finally fell silent.

For a moment, Xena's mind was almost blank, all she could feel was endless hunger, endless hesitation, she seemed to be thrown into a whirlpool, almost lost in the voice.

Spit out a mouthful of blood, and Zina, who felt that she was in much better shape, finally looked at Rod again.

"This is the void you call it?"

"Correct." Rod held out a finger, "The one you just felt wasn't a void yet, it was just the aftermath of a sleeping void as you ate - if you're dealing with a waking void, I'm afraid you've changed by now!" ”

"Change?"

"That's right, infected by the Void." This time, it was Jax who took the initiative to speak, "Trust me, it's not a good feeling." ”

Hearing Jax's words, Xena finally fell silent.

The current evidence is not enough to support the clue of the "return of the void", but through a series of events, Xena has realized the horror of the void - if the void does return, it will be tantamount to a terrible war.

So the only thing that needs to be proven now is that the Void is indeed making a move now, and another eruption is imminent.
