As the journey continued, Rhodes and the others finally slowly made their way out of the rainforest - the rest of the journey was a bit lackluster, as the rest of the area was the territory of the Flesh-Toothed Beasts, and the Flesh-Toothed Beasts clearly did not intend to provoke Rod.

So, the group walked out of the rainforest with ease.

As the terrain gradually rose and the frequency of rainfall gradually decreased, Rhodes finally stepped out of the rainforest.

The Rhema River, which had been mighty, suddenly became a small jasper - the runoff began to decrease at a visible rate, and the width of the river narrowed visibly, all of which reminded Rhodes that the desert had arrived.

Finally, when the oncoming wind was no longer wet, and when there was no longer a dense jungle around the riverbank, Rhodes and the others finally entered the Kohalise area.

……………………

Although not as vibrant as the rainforest, the number of humans they encountered was high because Rhodes and his party were traveling along the Rhema River.

In the yellow sand is Shurima, water resources are undoubtedly very precious, human production and life can not be separated from the water source, so along the Ruima River, large and small towns and villages are dotted - if someone can overlook Valoran from a high altitude, the Ruima River is like a long dragon lying in the south of Valoran, nourishing and nurturing Shurima.

After paying a certain amount of gold hex, Rhodes found a Shurima who was willing to take them to Carricksey - the guy didn't speak the lingua franca very well, but as long as he was willing to slow down, everyone would understand what he meant.

After taking down the golden Kinghex, the guy patted his chest and promised that he would be able to send everyone to Carricksay - "even the Bone Seal Bazaar".

The guy seems to be a professional broker, but Rhodes and the others are clearly uninterested in what he calls the magical bazaar of "everything in the sun if you can afford it".

Seeing that there was no more business to follow, the guide had no choice but to put away his careful thoughts, lead his Shurima giant camel, and honestly walk in the front.

On the third day after finding the guide, the group finally left the basin of the Rhema River and turned south.

The guide was a talker, and it seems that he was pleased with Rod's pay, and he kept rambling anecdotes about the desert all the way - and although everyone didn't seem to pay much attention to what he was telling, he kept enjoying it.

Maybe it's because it's so boring to travel.

The guide's business skills were very good, and he even went down to many small oases that few people knew, and for any caravan walking in the desert, such a guide could be regarded as a very important man—but in front of Rod, who was able to make his own water, the most important reliance of this "big man" became a little unmentionable.

Speaking of which, Rhodes is also bad enough, in order to retaliate for the behavior of this guide, Rhodes unabashedly showed his ability to easily make water, and directly bluffed him into doubting his life - if all travelers can make clean water, then in the entire Shurima Desert, the function of the guides is probably only a living map, right?

The guide's panic lasted for a long time, and even after he sent Rhodes and his party to a small town on the edge of Carricksey, he didn't find a busty girl in the tavern to relax, so he replenished his supplies early and returned the same way with the new guests.

For a desert guide who has mastered a large number of oasis locations, what could be more ruinous than his own guests being able to create clear water casually?

……………………

Although it was a bit of a nasty joke, Rhodes didn't take the guide to heart - in the best tavern in the town on the edge of Carricksey, he summoned everyone in all seriousness.

"Then came the most crucial moment of our journey." Rhodes looked around at the crowd, his expression finally becoming serious, "On the other side of Carricksey, that's our destination, Acacia. ”

If the locals heard Rod's words, they would think the guy was crazy - in Shurima, there were some people who crossed Carricks, but most of them were poor people trying to avoid sand pirates or evade protection money.

These men will traverse the northwest corner of Carricksey, an adventure that will help them save a fortune and at the cost of them likely to become food for the elusive Exel.

It's a big gamble, and the stakes are money and life.

But Rhodes doesn't look like a money-strapped lord by any means - more importantly, this guy is not going to cross a corner of the northwest of Carricksey, but simply crossing completely from north to south!

On Rod's route, there were no towns, no oases, and the ground was littered with holes left by Exer to hunt for predation......

No matter how you look at it, it's going to die!

But hearing Rod say this, the rest of the team didn't feel nervous at all, and even guys like Jinx were a little eager to try it - seeing that the atmosphere was a little unserious, Rod could only cough lightly.

"Uh-huh!"

"It's not an easy journey." Rhodes stretched out his finger and pointed on the map, "This is the forbidden area for the Shurima people, even the most desperate guys, the most brutal sand thieves will not set foot in the territory, everyone here is a good player, but I still have to remind you again, this time we need to face not the enemy in the usual sense, and this is their home field." ”

Rod's words made everyone finally calm down.

"Actually, I haven't personally set foot here." Rod slowed his tone and spoke again, "So, I found a new guide...... Mr. Jayer used to cross Carricksey, and he will walk with us. ”

As he spoke, Rhodes opened the door, and a dark, thin, shy Shurima man walked in—he looked around, and then spoke in a non-standard, word-for-word lingua franca to the applause of all the people.

"You, this is here, actively seeking, irresistible, dangerous."

"What's in Carricksey, Rexey, isn't a nonsense."

Looking at Jagu with a serious expression, Rod raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"You took my deposit, and now you persuade me not to go?"

"Deposit...... can be returned to you. Jaya untied a bag from his waist, "You guys, don't go, send them to death." ”

Looking at the Shurima man with a serious expression in front of him, Rhodes finally nodded and smiled with satisfaction.
