Let's move the clock forward a bit and see what really happened.

……………………

After repelling the attacks of the carnivodons, Rhodes' team finally had a good coordination in battle, and they no longer "cooperated for the sake of cooperating", but really used cooperating as part of the means to win.

With tacit feints and direct breakthroughs, this team is making rapid progress in the direction of a whole.

For Rod, that's exactly what he's looking forward to.

As long as the cooperation of this team produces a tacit understanding, then even when they arrive at Shurima and Acacia, they may not have the ability to resist in the face of the Void Zerg or even the Void, and with this power as a guarantee, the next journey will be much safer.

However, before Rhodes could praise the crowd, an unexpected visitor appeared.

Without any rune fluctuations, sharp spikes suddenly appeared and pointed directly at Rhodes - and before the vast majority of people didn't realize what was happening, the battle began again.

This time the enemy was special - compared to the flesh-toothed beast that had distorted the light and hid itself in the shadows, this new enemy simply made himself invisible into the shadow plane, and most of the time he didn't even exist in the real plane, except for the fleeting moment of the attack.

For ordinary people, this kind of elusive guy is difficult to deal with, but Rhodes is obviously not within the scope of ordinary people, and in some kind of consideration, he did not take this guy as a test, but directly shot and summoned the arcane storm.

The enemy hiding in the secondary plane sensed the danger, and he tried to leave the range of the storm, but Rhodes had already locked on him, and no matter how he acted in the subplane, he could not escape Rhodes' spells.

In desperation, when the body could no longer withstand the pressure of the plane, the enemy had to leave the secondary plane.

The next moment, a giant bug appeared in Rhodes' Arcane Storm.

Sharp chitinous blades, smooth and solid chitin shells, agile insect-like wing sheaths, lower arm exoskeletons that shoot chitin spines, and greedy and brutal eyes—Rhodes was the first to identify the attacker.

Void Marauder Kazik.

Seeing Kazik, Rhodes was a little surprised, he really didn't expect this guy to choose to deliver to the door, and what he didn't expect was that just now Kazik clearly used some kind of means similar to shadow escape - hiding himself in the shadow subplane is easy to say, but except for a few dragons and guys who have obtained shadow runes, this is an impossible task.

It is for this reason that when Rhodes was attacked, he did not realize who the enemy was at first place.

Kazik's special skills made Rhodes interested - in the game, Kazik was able to evolve his skills as long as he reached the level, but in Valoran, it was obviously not the level that allowed him to achieve this progress.

What is that?

Rod thought for a moment and quickly got his own answer.

It's devouring.

Rhodes, who has dealt with the Void so many times, is well aware of the Devouring and Evolving abilities of the Void Worms, as long as they can defeat a strong enough enemy and then complete the devouring, then they can get the corresponding power.

And what makes Rhodes curious is, where does Kazik's means of stealth in the second plane come from?

Rhodes vividly remembers that when he fought with Zao, he used similar tactics - and similar to Zao, Akali had a similar method, they were able to find Valoran's secondary plane and hide in it for a short time in order to launch a surprise attack and avoid damage.

So, how did Kazik master this technique?

Or what did Kazik devour to give him this ability?

Rhodes vaguely felt a little inspiration, and in order to seize this inspiration, Rhodes chose to shoot directly, and after forcing Kazik to appear, he used the Arcane Storm to seriously injure him directly.

Although the furious arcane energy was not able to directly tear apart Kazik's shell, it did cause a lot of impact on the inside of his body.

In this case, Kazik barely spread his wings and planned to go straight away - his judgment was accurate, as soon as Rod made a move, it meant that he couldn't beat him, and the only option was to leave directly.

It's a pity that Rod instantly entered a state of time chrysalis, and Kazik's wings just opened, and Rode's side forcibly blocked the take-off space with a series of fires.

Flapping his wings, Kazik was smashed down by a flame blast - Rhodes stepped forward and took a shackle of the sun, and Kazik was captured.

Immediately afterward, Rhodes interrogated Kazik, trying to figure out the source of this guy's skills, what exactly he devoured to learn this hand, but Kazik refused to confess, no matter what methods Rod used, he did not react.

Things are at an impasse.

Rod was vaguely aware of something, but unfortunately although Kazik took the initiative to send it to the door, it could not be used as a breakthrough, and Rod needed someone who was more familiar with Kazik.

So, who else here is more familiar with this Void Worm than Rengar?

In order to find Rengar, Rhodes carried the injured Kazik around the jungle in a large group, and the blood belonging to the Void Worm was everywhere, and the sharp claws of the Void Worm left scratches on many trees.

Using Kazik as bait, Rhodes needs to find Rengar.

And Rengar didn't disappoint Rhodes either - shortly after he left his mark, Xena (or some plants) discovered Rengar.

It's just that what Rod expected is that this proud stalker shows a very strong desire to survive when facing him - doesn't he say that he is very proud, why does he look like he is trembling and wanting to go first when he meets?

But that's a good thing.

Seeing that Rengar was extremely eager to survive, Rhodes felt that he could get the answer he wanted directly without even using any threatening means.

"Now, tell me, Rengar." The mage's hand lifted the flesh-toothed beast in mid-air, "Will this guy be invisible when he fights you?" ”

Stealth?

Raingar was a little surprised, hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and let out a low roar of denial.

"So...... Have you been following him all the time? ”

This time, Rengar nodded.

"Tell me, has he devoured any special prey lately?"

Although he didn't know why Rhodes asked this (strictly speaking, Rengar still doesn't know who Rhodes was), Rengar thought about the question carefully, and after thinking about it for a long time, he seemed to find a satisfactory answer.

"Humans."
