Chapter 379: Shocked!
Rhodes unscrupulously touched a set of apprentices' clothes (can the Faye's business be called stealing), and then disguised himself as the apprentice of Naga Kapolos, and on this island, since the number of apprentices exceeded 10,000, his disguise was difficult to debunk.
There were still two days left before the Night of the Eclipse, and considering that it would take some time to get from this island to the island of the Mother Snake, the day after Rhodes pretended to be an apprentice, all the apprentices on the island were assembled.
Led by a priest, all the apprentices line up and set off for the island of the Mother Serpent.
And in the process, no one noticed that one of the apprentices slipped away quietly.
During the assembly, the priests would count the number of people and distribute the necessary items, and if Rhodes participated, there would be only one result - to be found out.
Rhodes is actually not afraid of being discovered - looking at the entire island, in Rhodes' opinion, it can be said that there is no one who can fight, but because he wants them to lead the way to the snake mother island, Rod can only choose to slip away, and then embellished with a large army from afar.
Thankfully, there's nothing too high-end here—there's no such thing as teleportation, and all the apprentices are assembled and headed for Mother Snake Island.
Rhodes managed to sneak up behind.
As they marched, the apprentices passed by the totem statue again and again, and to Rod's surprise, they had to be blindfolded by the priest and isolated from their senses by the priest before they could pass through the totem statue - that is, the illusion traps would also work for the apprentices.
It seems that only at the level of a priest can one be able to look directly at the statue without being attacked by spirits.
But after thinking about it, Rod also understood the truth.
Although the apprentices are the reserve of the priests, they are not really priests after all—the trials of becoming apprentices only test the strength of the soul, and there is no guarantee that any of the apprentices have apostasy in mind.
Therefore, if an apprentice can easily get past these traps, not only will a considerable number of apprentices run away every year, but more importantly, the reality of the Python Islands has long been figured out.
And if only the priests can leave, it means that the people who leave the Python Islands are all people who have their hearts set on Naga Kabolos, and no one will spread everything here.
It is for this reason that Rhodes has not been able to get anyone about the Python Islands no matter what.
But...... On second thought, does this mean that Naga Kapoulos has something absolutely to hide?
If you are so cautious about the news, there must be something you don't want others to know, and is this the key to your own grasp?
With this in mind, Rhodes followed the apprentices and arrived at the island of the Mother Snake in the evening of the next day.
……………………
Of the Python Islands, Mother Snake Island is the largest in size - Rhodes doesn't know if it was the largest island that was the center or because it was artificially expanded to its current state.
With limited access to Mother Snake Island and the need for scular checks for all entrants, Rhodes followed the procession that had grown from a phalanx to a long queue in front of a long suspension bridge.
This island is very interesting, except for the closest island, where the suspension bridge is installed, the rest of the place is steep, and the sea water is full of fierce sea beasts and sea snakes, even if outsiders are full of swimming and climbing talents, they can't enter the snake mother island - when the group of apprentices followed by Rhode arrived at the snake mother island, it happened to be when the servants on the snake mother island fed the sea beasts, and many unlucky people were tied up naked and thrown from the cliff into the sea, and in a blink of an eye, it became a feast for the sea beasts, And listening to the words of the leading priest, this is all "the fate of the apprentice who is not loyal to the mother of the serpent".
But Rod, who was secretly observing, knew that there was still a day before the Night of the Eclipse of Souls, and now Naga Kapoulos should not have come to Valoran, and the so-called trial should not have started, so the priest was probably scaring these poor apprentices.
There were already several fellows in the ranks, trembling and trembling - and these cowardly ones were naturally the focus of the priests.
It's all a routine!
As all the apprentices began to line up, Rhodes finally left the line.
Although all those who crossed the drawbridge were strictly checked, it had nothing to do with Rhodes - Rhodes was not a man who could be stopped by the usual checks, he could fly.
The flying Rhodes completed his transformation in a no-man's corner, turned into a sea crow and landed on the snake mother island, and the first problem he needed to face also appeared.
Not from priests or apprentices, but from the murens of Mother Serpent......
These sea crows, who often pick up the leftovers of sea beasts, seem to have a very strong hostility towards the newcomers, and when the sea crow that Rhodes turned into flew to the island, it immediately attracted the siege of the island's native sea crows.
Rod looked confused.
And this kind of operation?
You must know that after finally practicing the transformation of birds on Fuguang Island, Rod's incarnation into a bird can be said to have been tried and tested in various situations - the transformation of birds that do not need to chant and cast spells is of great significance to Rhodes who has lost the ability to teleport over long distances, and it is invincible to use it.
As long as Rhodes had observed the characteristics of the local birds beforehand, he could easily blend in with the flock, and then thousands of birds would be mixed together, and no one would be able to find Rhodes.
And now, for the first time, Rhodes is so visibly ostracized by the local birds.
You know, the birds on Mother Snake Island are just sea crows - for this most common bird in the Sea of Watch and the Sea of Conquest, not only will Rhodes not admit mistakes, but also has a high degree of proficiency in change, who would have thought that he would be excluded by birds like this?!
And that's not even the worst.
The worst part is that since the sea crows are a bit big, the servants of the snake mother island who have just finished feeding also diverted their attention.
In this case, Rod can't get rid of these birds if he wants to make some flowers - now if Rhodes dares to do something, he will be discovered!
So, Rhodes really left the snake mother island like a sea crow who failed to grab the territory.
At this time, Rhodes was glad that no one knew about it—if this was known by the likes of Gary Vickers, Rhodes would have been able to guess tomorrow's Azeroth headlines.
