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

Chapter 318 Mutant Entangling Vine

The fluffy ball and the chicks didn't know what the disappearance of the long knife meant; they only knew that Lezhi had just won the fight, so they couldn't wait to offer Lezhi a cheerful chirp as a congratulation.

The two winged creatures weren't as relaxed as the birds. What they had just witnessed was truly unusual, especially for Lei Xiu, who had never seen anything like it in all his years of life. It wasn't that he was heartbroken over the knife, but rather that he was worried that there might be some unknown energy within Le Zhi's body that could harm her.

Lei Xiu gently pressed the fledgling back into the pack. As soon as it saw Le Zhi free his hand, it eagerly flapped its wings, begging for a hug, completely disregarding the fact that most of its body was still exposed. "Alright, let's go down first. We'd better deal with that bug," Lei Xiu said.

"it is good."

"Tweet~"

Dealing with the beheaded insect wasn't difficult, especially for an experienced like Lei Xiu. However, today's main purpose was to teach Le Zhi, so Lei Xiu didn't handle it himself but instead guided Le Zhi on the decomposition techniques.

"This insect's carapace is a good material. We can melt some fluorite into it and make a decent weapon... Yes, right there. See that slit? Start from there, and it'll be easy to pry the carapace open completely."

Having mastered the trick, Lezhi got the hang of it quite quickly, and in about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he successfully acquired his first prize.

Lezhi didn't waste the remaining unused space. He directly activated the seeds of the entwining vine and put them in. In no time, the scraps were densely wrapped by roots, shrank, and eventually merged with the soil.

“This…” Seeing Lezhi use the Entangling Vine to clean up the mess, Lei Xiu’s eyes lit up. The Entangling Vine is a type of combat plant that ranged warriors use most often, so he is very familiar with it.

Lei Xiu was quite certain that the previous Entangling Vines didn't have this ability to digest insects instantly, even though they weren't carnivorous plants.

"Hehe, isn't it useful? After seeing the Carnivorous Plant yesterday, I thought that the Entangling Vine could also evolve in this direction, so I gave it a try." The result was even smoother than he had imagined.

In fact, the insectivorous plant was just one of his sources of inspiration. In addition, he also referenced the characteristics of spider webs. After a spider weaves a web to capture its prey, it will spin a cocoon to confine them and then inject toxins to slowly digest them.

At that time, he thought that the twining vines could also develop in this direction, and the place where they absorb nutrients could be changed to become roots.

Seeing the results, Lezhi is very satisfied. "Great, it's much more efficient than I expected."

The tangled vine, which had been swaying on the ground after dealing with the scraps of insects, was now even more delighted to hear Lezhi's affirmation of its work, nodding and shaking its head happily.

Seeing Lezhi wave, the vine immediately pulled its roots, which were buried in the gravel, out with a "whoosh" and hopped towards Lezhi. As it leaped upwards, Lezhi deftly turned its hand, and the vine grew backwards from its adult form, constantly shrinking and thinning until it finally climbed up Lezhi's arm to his shoulder, where it intertwined with his pure white hair and quietly disguised itself as a hair ornament.

Okay, it seems that Lezhi not only broadened the attack range of the Entangling Vine, but also turned this single plant, which could only be used once, into a perennial evergreen vine. Lei Xiu glanced sideways at the Entangling Vine that was sneakily leaning against Lezhi's ear, pressed his tongue against his cheek, and still didn't say anything.

What should we say? That he's jealous of a plant that can't even speak?

No matter how turbulent his heart was, on the surface Lei Xiu remained calm and composed, so Le Zhi did not notice his little thoughts.

The fluffy ball perched on his shoulder, curiously confronting the vines. Lezhi ignored them; they would be good friends in the future, so it was good to let them get to know each other during this time, since there would probably be many more times like this in the future.

Lei Xiu had already adjusted his mindset. His gaze fell on the dagger that Le Zhi had just used. "It didn't break this time."

"Ah, sigh, yeah, why didn't it break this time?" Although Lei Xiu's words were somewhat nonsensical, Le Zhi immediately understood what he meant.

Drawing the dagger from its sheath, Lezhi could even see his own face on the gleaming blade. He flicked the blade with his hand, and with a "whoosh," it was clear that the blade had been forged to a very high standard, making it a dagger of excellent quality in every aspect.

After all, it's a product of Lezhong, so the quality is guaranteed.

So here's the question: "What's the deal with that long sword?" Surely it wasn't that Le Zhong randomly cut corners and decided to let someone unlucky win the lottery.

"There are two possibilities: either it's a problem with the forger, and the materials used in that knife are different from the others, or it's a problem with the user. Zhizhi, think carefully, when you fight with a long sword, is there any difference between when you fight with this dagger and when you fight with it?"

The fingers that were still stroking the dagger paused slightly, and Le Zhi's eyelashes trembled gently. Lei Xiu's words reminded him that yes, it was indeed different. Le Zhi clearly remembered that at the beginning of the battle, the longsword had performed very well, even when it clashed head-on with the insect's hard carapace, it was not at a disadvantage at all.

He recalled that he had specifically observed that the longsword was completely undamaged during the halftime match, without even a scratch.

When did the change begin? During the final strike, Yuezhi felt he had everything under control. His eyes only saw the insect's weakness, and his mind was solely focused on delivering the fatal blow. As for the longsword…

A sudden chill ran through him. Yes, at that moment, the longsword didn't exist in his consciousness at all. The moment the longsword was covered by his energy, it became a part of his body. The feeling was just like the claws that had grown out of him back then.

Seeing that Lezhi was lost in thought because of his words, Lei Xiu did not urge him, letting Lezhi stand there in a daze. He kept half of his attention on Lezhi and the other half on guard.

He hadn't forgotten that they were currently in the Abyss, a place that struck fear into the hearts of all of Jormungand. Everything here was unknown, and even though he had successfully ventured into the central area before, he dared not presume to say that he knew this place well.

The surroundings were desolate, with nothing but stones as far as the eye could see, large and small. This area was completely covered by stones. The good thing was that the stones were not monotonous in color. Lei Xiu could see several different colors just by casually glancing at them. However, under the light of the blue moon, he could not immediately distinguish their original colors.

"I see……"

"Know what?" Lei Xiu saw Le Zhi put away the dagger with a look of sudden realization and waited quietly for Le Zhi's explanation.

"Well, I don't really know how to put it right now. It's just a guess. We'll find out once we have the chance to verify it." After all, if his guess is true, then these weapons will become consumables in his hands.

These were all gifts from Le Zhong. Unless absolutely necessary, Le Zhi wanted to cherish them as much as possible and not waste them just to test his idea.

"Oh right, the vine just told me that there are other plants here besides it. Did you see anything strange just now?" If the vine and the fluffy ball hadn't been making a ruckus on his shoulder, making their presence known so much, Lezhi would have almost forgotten about this.

"Other plants?" Lei Xiu was already used to Le Zhi's wide range of ideas, so he naturally followed Le Zhi's train of thought and changed the subject. "No, I just looked around, and there are only stones around."

"Hiss, that's strange. By the way, Lei Xiu, do you remember where this bug was when we found it? I want to go and see it."
