Chapter 976: Vastaya
Jinx's tone was full of excitement to see something new, and this excitement had a different meaning to Zina's ears.
Got a trap?
Why didn't the plants mention it to themselves?
The puzzle was quickly solved—Xena followed the sound and found a trap that looked like some years old......
Judging by the rust of the wire at the center of the trap, the trap has been here for at least a month.
And considering the growth rate of the surrounding plants, when this trap is arranged, it is estimated that these little guys are still just seeds.
A dumbfounded Zina shook her head, focusing on the little trap.
From the outside, it seems to be a trap - there is not much shelter around, and the plants in the location are not too high, so normal people generally do not step on it as long as they are not blind.
The exact mechanics of the trap are incomprehensible to Xena - but judging by Jinx's long list of criticisms, the trap can be considered lackluster.
Lack of power, simple materials, poor reliability......
Aside from its long expiration date, this trap is almost useless in Jinx's eyes.
As she spoke, a little excited, Jinx even wanted to show off the trap with her bare hands—but before she could get on the head, Anne threw Tibbs out of her.
"Roar!"
The flaming shadow bear roared down from the sky and destroyed the trap with a single blow—and just as Jinx was about to laugh at Anne for making a fuss, a net hidden in the grass popped up and enveloped Tibbs in it.
The nets were dark green, and seemed to be made of some kind of vine that the flames of the Shadow Bear hadn't even been able to burn.
Anne gave Jinx a silent glance and beckoned Tibbs to shrink, and the tiny Tibbs squeezed out of the gap in the net pocket and was once again held in Anne's arms.
"Well done." Rod touched Anne's head with satisfaction, "Your perception is keen. ”
"I didn't really find anything." For Rod's compliment, although Anne's eyes have already smiled into crescents, she did not take credit, "I just want to ...... Even a wild man wouldn't have a trap that Jinx could dismantle. ”
The mending knife is successful, the critical hit, and Jinx can't get up again.
Compared with the pink-haired and black-hearted Anne, Jinx often doesn't take advantage of the bickering.
Just as Jinx was looking good at Anne, a dexterous figure flashed not far away—and soon, a brown-skinned young woman appeared in front of the group.
Her long black hair was pulled back into a supple ponytail, her three-dimensional face was full of wild charm, and under the small pieces of fur was a bumpy body, and her muscular limbs and distinctive white oil paint made her look full of strength.
Seeing Rhodes and his party, the woman also looked surprised, she subconsciously clenched the spear in her hand that looked a little rudimentary, and only spoke after a long time.
“&*(H^T^G%^F%$%$@?”
Except for Rhodes, everyone looked confused.
Valoran's lingua franca has been popular for a long time, and although the dialects and accents vary from place to place, even if the Freljords and Shurima speak, the communication between them is a bit more troublesome than it is completely incomprehensible.
But when the woman spoke, everyone except Rhodes looked confused.
What do you say?
Just when everyone was confused, Rhodes responded quickly with a very similar tone and pronunciation.
Hearing Rod's response, this time it was the woman's turn to be confused, and she stared at Rhodes with some surprise, as if she didn't expect someone to be able to use her own language.
Facing this brown-skinned beauty, Rhodes's heart suddenly moved, he snapped his fingers directly, and then directly transformed into a night crow flapping his wings and began to fly around the other party.
And seeing Rod's "transformation", the other party seemed to be a little happy, she simply lay on the ground, and the next moment directly turned into a vigorous "big cat", and pounced with Rod......
Everyone was stunned - in their stupor, Rhodes quietly regained his shape, and then somehow got a short stick with a silver light attached, and began to happily "tease the cat".
Seeing this sharp toothy and vigorous cougar like a big cat, chasing the glowing "cat teasing stick" in Rod's hand, an inexplicable sense of absurdity filled everyone's hearts.
"it?!" x9
Finally, when the group's jaws were about to fall to the ground, Rod took the initiative to end the frolic, and the short stick in his hand took advantage of the other party's excitement to point on her forehead, and by this poke, the cougar quickly turned back into a woman.
"What did you do to me?"
The willow eyebrows are upside down, but the exit of a sentence is already a lingua franca.
"Hahaha." "Don't be nervous, I don't mean anything, Miss Vastaya—that was the Enlightenment, a little trick to teach you the lingua franca, after all, I don't want to be a translator." ”
……………………
After a small turmoil, Miss Cougar, who was frightened and ashamed, finally regained her composure - as if sensing that Rhodes did not have any malicious intentions, she accepted this fact and introduced herself to the crowd.
"My name is ...... Nedley. ”
"As far as you see, there is a Vasaya who lives here."
"You've just hit my trap."
"That's for the flesh-toothed beasts—it's going to be the day of the hunting ritual of the madmen, and I have to be ready."
Carnivorous?
Performing a hunting ritual?
"As far as I can tell, those guys are pretty good hunters," Rhodes raised an eyebrow and looked at Nedri, a little surprised, "They should be very serious about the ritual of hunting, and you...... Planning to stop them alone? ”
"That's right." Nedri's answer was categorical, "Their hunt is destroying the jungle with impunity, and hunting not for food is a waste." ”
"My point is, you alone dare to stop their ritual?"
"It used to be a person." Nedriy shook her head unconcernedly, "But now, you'll be a part of it, too." ”
"Why?" Rod smiled interestedly, "Why are you so sure we'll help you deal with the flesh-toothed beasts?" ”
"Because you're in the rainforest at this time." There was a subtle schadenfreude in Nedri's tone, "For carnidons, rare prey is second only to powerful prey - and in this rainforest, humans are rare......"
