I woke up to find myself transmigrated into a disabled child.

Chapter 503 Mission

For some reason, even though Lezhi was still a minor, and his age was less than a fraction of his own, Lingyuan believed that he could keep his word.

Perhaps it's because Lezhi's attitude is too self-evident.

Watching the black and white figure leave Ji Anxueyuan, Yuezhi turned around and left.

Seemingly having noticed his arrival, the already stormy snowfield became even more active.

The wind swirls up the snowflakes that haven't yet fallen, carrying them like a fluttering ribbon, winding and turning, sometimes brushing against pure white hair, sometimes lingering on the downy feathers of snow-white wings.

Icicles clung to Lezhi's fur, as if draping him in a cloak of ice and snow, reflecting a transparent, crystal-like brilliance under the sunlight.

Lezhi did not stop Feng'er's antics, but simply kept on his way.

Ji'an Snow Abyss is the general name for this entire frozen snowfield. The place where Lezhi and Lingyuan met was near the edge. If they wanted to go deeper, they first had to overcome the problem of direction.

Even without other interference, it's just a vast expanse of white, making it difficult to find your way, let alone with the wind causing trouble.

Knowing he was in a hurry, the wind, after being brushed away once or twice, would still come back three or four times. It wasn't a joke; it seemed as if it was deliberately slowing him down.

The pure white wings hovered in the air. When they saw him stop, the swirling wind did not try to entangle him, but simply circled around him, unwilling to disperse.

"Did it send you here?"

The whistling of the wind paused subtly for a moment, then returned to normal.

Lezhi did not miss that moment of abnormality, and did not continue to ask questions. He flipped his right hand over, and in a flash of light, the cross halberd was already in his palm.

"If you don't want to answer, then don't say anything at all..."

Stubborn guys need a good beating; if they don't understand, it's just that the beatings aren't painful enough—he's experienced in this.

His eyes were filled with blood, and he brandished his cross halberd. The sound of it cutting through the air echoed through the sky, and the wind swirling in the air tried to dodge, but it was too late.

The ribbon was torn apart, and the ground was also affected by the strong airflow, creating a huge arc outward from the center of Lezhi.

The path ahead was much clearer now. With the map of light points in his mind to guide him, accompanied by the whooshing sound of air being cut through, Lezhi went deeper and deeper, and successfully arrived at an ice crevice.

The snow here is perpetually covered and never melts, and under the sculpting of storms, it freezes layer by layer into the shape of icebergs.

The enormous iceberg shimmered with a crystal-clear blue, without a trace of impurity, purer than the most precious gemstones in the world.

After confirming the location of the mother tree, they still needed to move forward, but there was no other way to go except for the ice crevice. Without hesitation, Yuezhi put away his cross halberd and slipped into the ice crevice.

…………

Outside the Frost Spirit Clan, unable to endure the severe cold, Jelly Frog and Glossy Leaf Bug did not go in with Lezhi. Only Fur Ball, relying on its wings for protection, stubbornly refused to get off Lezhi, successfully keeping its head ornament in place.

However, they stayed here not only to wait for Lezhi's return, but also for other reasons.

The closer you get to the Frost Spirit territory, the lower the temperature becomes. To survive here, you have to learn to adapt.

Nature never yields.

The jelly frog is the same. As an amphibian born in the rainforest, it has experienced the scorching heat of Firephosphorus Canyon and the freezing cold of the low temperature here. It has quite a rich experience.

The jelly frog buries its body in a specially dug hole, with only part of its eyes and mouth showing. Because of the plants covering it, it is easy to miss if you don't look closely.

So, the Zerg, who had been gathering one after another following the signal, finally arrived at their destination, only to find that they had not found the Zerg that had summoned them.

After exchanging rustling sounds, the insects decided to wait where they were.

Herbivorous insects are fine; they can find suitable food on the spot, and the time isn't too hard to bear while they eat. But carnivorous insects are different.

Hunger and greed drove them to target their companions who had come to answer the call.

Looking around and confirming that there were no stronger opponents, the knife beetle with shovel-like weapons on both sides of its head silently adjusted its posture. It had been eyeing the white-striped creature not far ahead for a long time.

Although there was prey on the road, it would not be a Zerg if it could resist the delicious food before it, especially since there was nothing here that could threaten it.

Driven by instinct, the beetles knew that it was the Insect King who had summoned them, but the Insect King also needed to eat.

Perhaps after it successfully hunts, it can also offer tribute to the insect king.

A cruel glint flashed in his eyes. The moment the beetle revealed its hunting intent, the previously leisurely swarm of insects panicked. After realizing that the beetle was not targeting them, they moved away from the battlefield and did not make any further moves.

As for the white bar that was targeted, what does it have to do with them?

In the Zerg world, there is no such thing as mutual assistance. Even if a fellow Zergman dies before your eyes, it's a matter of "better to die than lose a friend," as long as you live.

Those who care are the odd ones out.

Having mastered the survival rules of the Zerg, the Bladebug attacked without hesitation, and by the time Whitebar spotted it, it was too late to dodge.

It was originally the insect at the very bottom of the Zerg pyramid, so naturally it was no match for the Blade Beetle. It could only close its eyes and scream, leaving behind its final cry of death.

Just then, an unexpected event occurred. A very elastic tendon suddenly appeared, and before the insects present could see it clearly, the tendon rushed straight towards the knife beetle.

“欻”

One moment the beetle was overjoyed at its successful hunt, and the next it vanished from the spot.

Before it could even react to the source of the immense force that was binding its body, the beetle had already silently lost its life.

"Crunch, crunch..."

The sound of teeth chewing food could be heard, and all the Zerg present fell silent as chickens, watching as a mound of earth swelled up in the distance, and the enormous body of the Jelly Frog slowly appeared.

In the water system not far from here, the leaf beetles are much more peaceful. As long as there is water, the leaf beetles can live very comfortably. In addition, Lezhi deliberately left a mark on them before leaving, so no insect dares to act recklessly in front of them.

As instructed by Lezhi, each insect that came was planted with spores for protection, and they were also given a sufficient amount of mushroom parent material. They were instructed to spread as much as possible before the insects that had been summoned dispersed. The leaf beetles fluttered their soft bodies, busy and happy.

Lezhi wasn't new to using insects to help spread mushroom spores. He had been exploring this possibility since his time with the Valley Clan. Later, he discovered that the Zerg were much more efficient than the friendly races, so Lezhi decided to enslave the Zerg's labor force.

Otherwise, these guys would only think about procreation after eating and drinking their fill every day, and if their numbers got too big, the tree spirits would have to deal with them. So why not give them something to do? Even Lezhi had to admit he was impressed with his own ingenuity.

His ability to control insects was a secret known only to Lei Xiu; it remained a secret to everyone else.

Before, they could only do it secretly, but this time, taking advantage of being alone, Lezhi completely stopped hiding it. Jelly Frog and Leaf Bug, one in charge of the land and the other in charge of the water system, have been busy with this matter recently.

Snow, who was still diligently delivering supplies to the various allied races, was unaware that, unbeknownst to anyone, Lezhi had secretly spread mushrooms throughout Jormungand with the Zerg army, just waiting for the shadow to appear.
