In the end, Mullan still got a decent death.

And when Mullan died, the elders who had gathered together to wait for the good news and dream of restoring their dominance also ushered in their own deaths - Mullan didn't want to see them in the first place, they had already inhaled Mullan's smoke when everyone got together, and now that Mullan was dead, they couldn't live.

And so, in the early morning mist, all the former rulers of the Great River Wanderers died.

With the old forces cleared, Trist's mission became busy - he had to shoulder all the responsibilities of the river nomads.

Now on the one hand, they are competing with each other, and on the other hand, it is also to give Rod face, and Zuan and Picheng also gave a lot of benefits to the river nomads by the way when they developed Kumanggu - but Trist is very clear that if the river nomads do not use the current benefits to speed up their own construction, if they choose to sit on the mountain, then sooner or later they will become a stepping stone for Zuan and Picheng.

At this point, Trist can only rely on himself.

As for Rhodes...... The guy was holding Jana from Fukukoshima Island in his arms, happily watching as the forces around Shurima quietly coalesced into a force - he was looking forward to the decisive battle between Azir and Zelas and the handing over of the throne to Sivir in a difficult victory, and Sivir turned his head and proclaimed a constitutional monarchy.

I don't know if the great desert emperor will be ...... by his own great-great-great-great The great-granddaughter died of anger......

However, just as Rhodes was about to turn on the theater mode, Kumangu's development ran into trouble - the development vanguard of the most experienced guides, the highest level of technology, and the most powerful expedition team ran into great trouble in the depths of the jungle, and was almost wiped out.

……………………

In an unbuilt makeshift supply depot in the depths of Kumangu, Rhodes, who was invited to the rescue, met these lost souls.

The 40-man expedition team was equipped with the best equipment, had the best staffing, and had been told many times before setting out not to destroy the forest too much to avoid unnecessary trouble—only to lose contact with them after entering the depths of the rainforest.

By the time Rhodes arrived, the men had already been found by the follow-up rescue team.

Forty people are not a lot, but all of them are lost and depressed, and they don't know what to ask, as if only an unconscious body remains.

Looking at the equipment scattered all over the ground and the members of the squad wallowing in the dirt and grass, Rod's first reaction was "are these guys hallucinating?"

But the doctors from Picheng on the rescue team had already checked their condition - the men showed no signs of poisoning, and they didn't detect any illusion-related fluctuations in runic power.

It's subtle.

What did the Vastayas do?

It shouldn't be - the last time he entered Kumangu, Rhodes had talked to Nedri about the Vastaya tribe here, although in addition to the flesh-toothed beasts, there were some primitive Vastayas living in Kumangu, but their strength was very weak, and they definitely didn't quietly make a full forty people become what they are now!

And most importantly...... They didn't even get a call for help!

Faced with this strange situation, Rhodes didn't find a clue at least for the first time.

However, although Rod has no clue, Cana, who came with her, found something interesting.

"Did the expedition use black powder weapons?" In a place where no one was around, Cana whispered this question to Rhodes, "There is the smell of black powder weapons here." ”

Black powder weapons?

Rhodes asked the captain of the rescue team, and the Pittsmen shook his head as he flipped through the list of supplies in his hand.

"No—the Vanguard is not in the habit of using black powder weapons, and in the humid rainforest, black powder sometimes fails, so the Vanguard uses more reliable crystal-powered weapons."

Other words...... Black Powder Weapons from the Enemy?

When it comes to black powder weapons, Rod's first reaction is that Bilgewater is a Bilgewater.

But the depths of the Kumangu jungle weren't the area where the pirates operated—and Rhodes didn't think the pirates would be able to completely crush the group quickly.

Who else uses black powder?

Noxians?

As far as Rhodes knew, the Noxians had also made up their minds about the Kumangu Jungle, but the production here was a bit barren, and there had always been Zyra's overgrown plants before, and in the end, the Noxians left at most one or two Noxtollas without teleportation ability to prove that "I have been here", and that's it.

Rhodes thought for a long time, but the black powder didn't give him any meaningful information after all, and he couldn't find any clues about the murderer.

However, just as Rhodes was about to wait for the next expedition to come and take a look at the situation with the team himself, he caught a subtle spatial fluctuation.

Well?

When Rod felt it carefully, he found that this trace of spatial fluctuation was not pure—there seemed to be a subtle ripple of time hidden in the spatial fluctuation!

If it weren't for Rhodes, probably no one would have noticed this subtle fluctuation.

After feeling this special fluctuation, Rod subconsciously frowned - when did he seem to have felt this subtle fluctuation!

At...... When I saw Vega for myself!

That's right, Vega!

Rhodes suddenly realized - the next moment, he directly found the scroll that Ruiz had left for him from the space backpack, and on the scroll, where he was now, it was marked with a "Bandel City Portal of Unknown Time"!

It was the yodelers who did it.

If nothing else, the black powder is probably left behind by that Miss Tristana!

As for the forty confused expedition members, I am afraid it must have been caused by hallucinogenic mushrooms or fairy spells - after guessing the murderer, Rhodes quickly estimated what had happened.

The expedition's expedition must have threatened the Yodelers' Bandel City portal in some sense, so they chose to take action and make them look like this.

Bandel City ...... Yodelers!

Thinking of these little guys, Rod finally couldn't help but touch his chin.

Although Rhodes temporarily gave up his plan to go to Bandle City because he had found some ways to use his time, but now, since the other party has taken the initiative to appear, wouldn't it be rude if he didn't go to visit?

Thinking of this, Rod snapped his fingers lightly.

A bright light suddenly appeared, and in the depths of the jungle, a small, little guy with a green hat subconsciously covered his eyes.

The next moment, he was picked up.

"Good afternoon, Captain Teemo."
