Chapter 995: Rod's Old Buddy
Following Jaye's voice, a group of people gathered in front of the small cave, staring wide-eyed.
Except for Jayer, Rod and Jax, no one else really understood what it was.
"Axworm, Passage."
Seeing that Jaye's word-by-word description made everyone confused, and his barren lingua franca couldn't make others immediately mean it, Rod had to take the initiative to take over the conversation.
"This is the passage left by the Exe Worm - the Exe Worm is a ferocious predator and one of the most common void bugs, similar to the one we've seen in the rainforest before, but generally more ferocious, they are good at burrowing, and they can even traverse space to some extent."
As he spoke, Rhodes summoned a mage's hand and gently broke off a piece of chitin-like material at the edge of the wormhole, showing everyone the lilac transparent crystal before continuing to speak.
"Axids have a hard skin that gets harder the older they get, and with the help of this special skin, they can cruise through the sand and, once they spot their prey, they will rush through space for a short distance."
"This chitin-like material is the trace left by the Axids after a short distance crossing, their body fluids are quite corrosive, and the wormhole we see now is left by a small guy - the kind that has not broken through the shell for a few days."
"And these guys are the enemies we need to face at the moment - they are the most fearsome predators in this desert, far more dangerous than the flesh-toothed beasts, which are hundreds at most, and the Axial worms in this Gobi ...... Endless. ”
After listening to Rod's explanation, everyone had a thoughtful expression, only Jaya stared at Rod as if he had seen a ghost.
"You, how, know, Exey?"
"Because I've seen Axey." Rod smiled and spread his hands, "That's why I only knew about them." ”
"Where?"
"Freljord."
Hearing an unexpected answer, Jaya blinked, he thought that the answer given by Rhodes would be some desert in Shurima, but what he didn't expect was that Rhodes said "Freljord......
Freljord...... Where is that?
For this orphan born in the backwoods of Shurima, Freljord was clearly a place he had never heard of, and he scratched his head in some confusion and looked confused.
As if sensing Jaye's doubts, Rod patted him on the shoulder without paying attention.
"Freljord is in the far north." Rod's tone was a bit old-fashioned, "It's not just Shurima who has a void, but ...... Not all Queen Exe is called Lexie. ”
Hearing Rexey's name, Jaya subconsciously shuddered, seeing that everyone was dressed and ready to go, he hurriedly stopped them, and then directly took out his most pressing technique.
"Pass, desert, open your feet, walk quietly."
"The big toe touches the ground, rolls outward, and the whole ball of the foot hits the ground."
"Light as a mouse, as sensitive as an antelope."
As he spoke, Jaye demonstratively left a trail of shallow footprints in the desert—as he himself said, as light as a mouse, as fast as an antelope.
"Axith is almost blind." Seeing that the others didn't understand what Jaye meant, Rod spoke again and explained, "If you want to avoid their hunting, a case like Jaye is the best way. ”
Looking at Jaye's wounds and calloused soles, most of the people showed tangled expressions.
Hearing Rod say this, Jaye nodded, then took out a knife and sat on the ground, trying to show everyone how to kick - unfortunately, Rod made a decisive move to stop him.
"But we don't have to go through that much trouble." Rhodes directly summoned his magic flying carpet, "Although you will get lost in the desert flying high on the flying carpet, there is no problem with levitating at low altitudes." ”
Blinking, at this moment, Jaye finally began to doubt life.
……………………
Originally, it was quite hard to get through the Gobi with the Axworms, and as long as everyone walked with footsteps, it was very likely that they would be besieged by the Axworms - but with the flying carpet, everything is different.
Everyone sat on Rod's enlarged flying carpet, absolutely silently.
Rod naturally wanted everyone to see the Axworm, but considering that once he started a blind war, he would need to face a steady stream of insect swarm attacks, so he finally chose to avoid its edge first.
When you pass through this area first, you can find a large wormhole to practice.
And just like that, with the help of the magic flying carpet, the crowd quickly passed through the Exe Insect Colony in Carricksey.
This also means that everyone has finally set foot on the land of Acacia.
"According to the agreement." Seeing that the wormholes around him were visibly reduced, Jaye finally spoke, "My end, here." ”
Since Rhodes' goal was in Acacia, even if Jaye, the old guide who had traveled through Carricksee many times, was now at the edge of the area he knew, he would probably lose his way if he continued to the southeast.
"That's right." Rod nodded, took out a bag of gold coins and handed it to Jaye (thanks again Giggs for his generous support, Giggs is magnificent), "Here's the rest of the payment - I'm curious to know, how do you get back?" ”
"To the west." Jaye, who had taken the gold coin, finally smiled comfortably, "Bypass, mountains." ”
Rhodes knew - Jaye meant to go around the edge of the Gobi and walk through the mountains, so that you could avoid the predation of the Axworms, although it was far away, but fortunately it was safe.
The money and goods are clear, and the other party also has a circuit, and Rhodes plans to let him leave after completely leaving the area infested by the Axworms.
But before Rod could speak, Jaye's expression suddenly changed from relaxed to frightened, and he stretched out his finger and pointed to his distance with trembling.
"Little ...... Be careful! ”
"Lexy - Lexie!"
Following Jaye's fingers, Rhodes and the others turned their heads to look over - in the middle of the desert, a huge retrograde fin was breaking through the sand, looking like a shark's fin.
In the scorching sun, the lilac chitin dorsal fin shimmers with dazzling brilliance.
Lexie?
"Silence, hold your breath—"
As soon as Jaye spoke, Rhodes disappeared without warning.
The next moment, Jaye saw Rhodes levitating above Lexie, a large fireball burning in his hand.
"Come on, ma'am—let me see how the Empress Exe of Shurima differs from Freeljord's!"
