Chapter 330 The Fledglings' Home
"What do you think?"
"Chi chi chi~"
"Being my partner might be tough, you'll get electrocuted..."
"Chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"
Lei Xiu originally wanted to lay the groundwork beforehand, since he was never one to spoil children. But now it seems that the electric current training, which was originally a negative factor, has become a reward for the fledgling.
After all, she had raised the chick from a young age, so Yuezhi could vaguely understand what the chick was saying. Seeing this, she knew that the matter was settled. "It seems that the chick and you are a match made in heaven. Besides it, what other bird or beast can be so compatible with you?"
Of course, Lezhi didn't mean to force them to be grouped together; he was just expressing his opinion based on the facts. The final decision still rests with Leixiu and Chuniao.
The dark purple eyes, which rarely showed any emotion, stared at the little black bean eyes for a while. It was unclear what they were communicating silently, but soon after, Lei Xiu made a decision.
"Alright, since you insist, then... please guide me in the future."
"Chi chi chi~"
Just as the celebration of a man and a bird becoming partners came to an end, the final screams of the insects echoed across the battlefield.
Since Lezhi relinquished power and allowed the Entangling Vine to control the rhythm of the battlefield, Lezhi has been an observer in order to test its abilities, which also freed up Lei Xiu.
The Entangling Vine did not disappoint Lezhi's expectations. In the short time they were talking, it had already spread its tentacles to the entire battlefield. Lezhi had pointed out the direction of evolution, and energy was being supplied continuously through its main body. Victory seemed to be only a matter of time.
Although the Zerg army appeared numerous, the terrifying growth rate of the Entangling Vine quickly transformed the battlefield, which was originally filled with insects, into a green sea.
This may be the first time in thousands of years that such lush greenery has appeared on this barren Gobi Desert.
Unfortunately, this green space, which once symbolized vitality, is now a graveyard for these insects.
The insect that had screamed was quickly wrapped up by the vines, and after it lost its ability to struggle, the battle finally came to an end.
Faced with Lei Xiu's lightning, these insects might have thought they still had a fighting chance, but this terrifying green vine completely shattered their illusions.
Seeing their companions engulfed by the green sea until not even a trace remained, these irrational insects finally regained their senses and stopped recklessly rushing forward to their deaths.
Subconsciously dodging the sticky vines wrapped around her cheek, Lezhi looked at the results in front of her and was very satisfied. "Well done, much better than I expected."
"Is this the Entangling Vine?" Lei Xiu had been studying it with a furrowed brow for a long time, but he still dared not connect the green vines below, which could be described as powerful weapons, with the vines commonly used as tools in the clan.
It's no exaggeration to say that they are completely different species. Although they still look similar, but... "You're saying that it controlled the entire battle just now, and it could do all of this without having to go down there itself?"
Lei Xiu looked at Le Zhi's ear with a complicated expression. The vine's attempt to stick to Le Zhi's ear had failed, but it was not discouraged. Instead, it cleverly circled around Le Zhi's earlobe, successfully expanding its function beyond hair ornaments to include earrings.
To be honest, its aesthetic sense is quite good. The addition of this touch of green to Lezhi's tender white ears makes it match the clothes given to him by the mother tree even better, and it also helps him shed his original childishness, making him look graceful and elegant.
At first glance, he already looks like a mature little adult.
Upon realizing this, Lei Xiu, who had taken in the entire scene, suddenly caught his breath. All his questions, confusion, and surprise flowed through his mind like water, leaving no trace. In the end, his eyes and heart were completely occupied by the person in front of him.
“…Lei Xiu, Lei Xiu?” Le Zhi was halfway through answering Lei Xiu’s question when she noticed the air suddenly go quiet. She turned around and saw Lei Xiu staring straight at her.
Such a stare was so inexplicable that Lezhi didn't feel embarrassed, but rather a little creeped out, so she quickly waved to signal Lei Xiu to come back to his senses.
With Lezhi shouting and clapping, deliberately making a big commotion, Lei Xiu could no longer pretend to be stupid. He lowered his eyes and stopped staring at Lezhi. Instead, he started to sneak peeks at her from time to time.
"What's wrong with you? Is something wrong?" Seeing that Lei Xiu had finally come to his senses, Le Zhi asked with some concern, fearing that something was wrong with his body.
"N-nothing, I was just a little distracted. What did you just say?"
A moment of distraction? So distracted that you completely blocked out the sounds around you?
If it were Lezhi himself, he would have no doubt, because he often did such things, but Lei Xiu?
Lei Xiu, who seemed to never need to close his eyes all day long, always full of energy and with a high level of concentration, actually drifted off during the conversation.
It seems there's something wrong with his health. Most likely, he's just exhausted from the long battle!
"It's okay, it's not important, we'll talk about it later. I think we need to find a place for you to rest right away."
Having already decided that Lei Xiu was exhausted, Le Zhi acted without hesitation. Without giving Lei Xiu a chance to refuse, Le Zhi waved her hand to summon the unknown plant's true form, contacting it in her sea of consciousness to discuss where it would be most suitable to rest.
When we were taming it, Lezhi looked around the Endless Abyss from its perspective and found several places suitable for short-term camping.
Originally, Lezhi planned to rush to the Endless Abyss Canyon with Lei Xiu in one go, but now that they have just experienced a great battle, they urgently need a rest and adjustment period.
Rest is for going further, and Lezhi never makes things difficult for himself.
"Hmm, over there? Okay... Resh, Furball, come with me."
Lezhi's decisions are usually final, and although he is young, his authority in the family is unquestionable.
Therefore, at Lezhi's call, his group quickly followed him away. The once noisy battlefield fell completely silent, with only the hastily grown, intertwined vines taking root in the Gobi Desert, becoming neighbors with the unknown plants.
Le Zhi left the Entangling Vine unintentionally, intending to intimidate the insectoids. At that time, he could not foresee what changes this Entangling Vine would bring to the Endless Abyss.
The battle inside the Endless Abyss had just ended when Lei Xiu and Le Zhi accidentally provoked the insectoids, attracting the Black-Eyed Insects that were originally scheduled to go out and wreak havoc. This inadvertently relieved a lot of pressure on their people outside.
However, as they stopped, the black-eyed worms that followed continued to emerge from the Endless Abyss according to the original plan, heading towards the various gathering places of the tree spirits.
The Longtail tribe's homeland, a beautiful place once surrounded by a sea of flowers, was first struck by an earthquake, then by a swarm of insects. The delicate flowers have now been trampled into mud and returned to the earth's embrace.
But the Longtail Tribe has more than just delicate flowers.
The more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it is – this saying perfectly describes the Longtail Tribe.
A swarm of insects, expecting a feast, were instead captivated by a rich aroma before they even encountered their enemy. Their bodies gradually became uncontrollable, and by the time they regained their senses, their lives were coming to an end.
They didn't even know how they died, before they, along with the flowers they crushed, became nourishment for the earth.
"We've solved another batch of problems. With these nutrients, our flower fields will surely bloom even more vibrantly next year."
