Chapter 991: Devouring and Evolving

Rengar gives an answer that is about equal to nonsense – but this answer is about equal to nonsense to get to the heart of the matter.

Where does Kazik's new power come from?

Humans - maybe some Noxus spellcaster, maybe some Shadow Stream's unlucky bastard, that's not the point.

The point is, how did Kazik get there?

Evolution after Devouring?

After Rod saw Kazik, he had been vaguely feeling that something was wrong, and now that he thinks about it, what is wrong is that compared to normal Void Worms, this guy has evolved too much.

There were many times that Rhodes and the Void had fought each other, and there were more than one hundred and eighty Void Worms that died at Rhodes' hands, but Rhodes was very sure that although the Void Worms that died in his hands had a certain devouring ability, they were completely inferior to Kazik.

So, here's the problem.

Why did Kazik grow up without fear and become what he is now?

You know, in Freljord, those Void Worms have at most a certain degree of combat consciousness after devouring the soldiers, and at the same time change their form - while Kazik has a very obvious Void Worm original form, but has obtained the ability to almost have a shadow rune mark, which is very intriguing.

On top of that, looking at Reyngar's eager roar, he obviously cares about Kazik - but according to Rod's understanding, the void breath on something like a void worm is like lice on a bald head, and a master predator who is good at hunting will be struggling to find it?

This strong sense of disobedience made Rhodes very uncomfortable, and he desperately wanted to figure out what was going on, but he couldn't break through the last layer of secrecy.

"Latent and developing." At this time, Jax, who had not spoken much, spoke rarely, "It seems that you can't believe that the void still has such a calm side. ”

That's right!

Listening to Jax say this, Rod also understood where this subtle sense of disobedience was embodied.

Among the Void creatures that Rhodes came into contact with, the Void Worms were undoubtedly the lowest - especially the Predator Bugs (that is, the race of Kazyk), which had always played the role of "cannon fodder troops" in the Void Legion.

And now, Rod is watching the number one person like Kazik appear in this group of cannon fodder.

Rhodes finally confirmed the source of this sense of disobedience, Kazik's abilities were not the same as those of a conventional predator bug, and the tasks that Kazik accepted from the void seemed to be different from the conventional sense of the void bug, he was not like a poor cannon fodder, but as Jax said, more like a shadow that lurked in Valoran and developed silently.

After figuring this out, Rhodes was not even interested in teasing Reingar, and after asking all the information about Kazik in detail, he let go of the startled Rengar, and then began to organize his impressions of the Void all over again.

The void is more ...... than you think And cunning.

In Rod's summary, the void is more of a consciousness, a hunger that never disappears, and most of the actions of the void itself come from its own desires.

But Kazik's appearance reminded Rhodes that the Void itself is wise.

Does this mean that the Void was playing dumb at the time of Freljord?

Or is it that in the absence of a carrier, the Void is unable to manifest its intelligence?

Or did the Void perceive that Rhodes was difficult to be infected and chose to hide in order to deceive?

Whichever option was the correct outcome, it was enough to set a wake-up call in Rhodes' heart - even though he had won some victories at Freljord, what he had seen was only a small part of the horror in terms of his understanding of the Void.

Rhodes thought about it for a while, and finally chose to seal Kazik away.

A thick layer of sand of time enveloped the unusual predator, and Rhodes stuffed it into his spatial bag.

For Rod, this particular predator worm will eventually become a special experiment in the laboratory, and Rod believes that when he returns to Fuguang Island, he will be able to get something out of this void worm.

……………………

By the time Rengar left in a hurry, the hunting ritual could have been declared over.

Whether it's Rhodes or these flesh-toothed beasts, everyone has lost the reason to continue to spend here - for Rhodes, there are very few people in this rainforest for his teammates to practice working with; In the case of carniddons, there are targets that cannot be hunted in the hunting ritual.

In this case, there is no reason for either side to waste time.

Rod said goodbye to Nedri, and began to swim up the riverbank, while the flesh-toothed beasts tacitly chose to return to their territory.

Once again, the rainforest has returned to calm.

And Nedri saw that Rhodes and the others finally left without any delay, and she also felt complicated in her heart.

They may not be friends, but they did do Nedri a great favor - if it weren't for them, my siblings would have been badly injured in this hunting ritual, right?

But if Nedri's gratitude to Rod is ...... It wasn't possible either - the Vastayas didn't shy away from their shapeshifting abilities, but that didn't mean Nedri would ignore some of Rhodes' actions of treating herself as a big cat, and for the wild huntress to scratch her jaw or something, it was completely unacceptable humiliation!

"Hey, big sister—" Just as Nedri's mind was complicated, an ethereal voice appeared beside her without warning, "Your Shimmer smells so good, can I know your name?" ”

Nedri turned back in astonishment, and was surprised to see a little girl with flowers on her head and a tail wagging behind her, who did not open her mouth, but clearly expressed herself.

For a moment, Nedri almost thought she was hallucinating.

"It's not an illusion." Sensing Nedri's consternation, the little girl smiled, "My name is Niko—Niko is a great time to meet you!" ”

Rhodes, who left first, didn't realize that his premature departure had made him miss a huge opportunity - for Rod, the direct descendants of Vastaya Shari were of great significance to Rod, and if Rhodes found out about Niko, I am afraid he would soon be able to understand the secret of Valoran's immortality!

Unfortunately, by the time Nedri and Neeko introduced themselves, Rhodes had already led the team upstream, heading towards the western part of the rainforest.
