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

Chapter 317, First Battle

What appeared before them was a lone insect. As for why it hadn't gone out to fight with the main force, Lezhi and Leixiu had no idea. What they saw from afar was that the insect was feeding, and the object of the insect's feeding was the very thing that Lezhi had just thought was impossible... a stone.

"The world is so big, there are all sorts of wonders..." Muttering the charlatan's standard lines, Lezhi was overwhelmed by curiosity and didn't even have time to feel the fear of the insects. All he wanted to do was confirm whether his random thoughts were true.

However, despite his excessive excitement, Lei Xiu was still very reliable. The moment he discovered the insect, Lei Xiu grabbed the restless Le Zhi, and the two of them flapped their wings and flew into the air, where they immediately had a clear view of the surrounding environment.

Once it was confirmed that there was only that one insect nearby, Lei Xiu allowed Le Zhi to approach. There was only one, and Le Zhi could handle it no matter what. If all else failed, there was always Mao Qiu.

Unaware of Lei Xiu's prediction, Le Zhi frantically flapped its wings and charged forward. The air currents from its wings broke the tranquil atmosphere, and the insect immediately sensed something was wrong.

Ignoring its feeding, the insect turned to face the approaching enemy. Its ferocious mouthparts opened and closed, and its long, barbed pincers swung rhythmically. Its inorganic compound eyes saw the shimmering wings behind the newcomer and seemed to have a hostile switch flipped. Without any hesitation, it immediately launched an attack.

"Whoa..." Before Lezhi could even land, the insect's attack was already upon him.

Seeing that the spot where it had been about to land was now shattered by the insect's long claws, it was clear that it hadn't held back. And rightly so; to hold back against an enemy would be foolish.

Since that's the case, Lezhi naturally has to take it seriously. This is his first time fighting insects alone, and no matter what he's thinking, he has to remain calm on the surface.

He cannot be afraid of battle; he must win.

The insect's dark carapace was covered with irregular bumps, making it look extremely ferocious. Without time to think, he directly took out a long knife from his spatial storage.

This was a gift from Le Zhong to celebrate his official start of training.

The clan's curriculum is currently at the basic training stage, but Lei Xiu has taken the time to teach Lezhi a lot about the correct way to hold and use weapons, and he has also trained in archery, but the result...

Lei Xiu, who was watching over Lezhi from a distance, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Lezhi's first weapon choice was a longsword. It was good that it wasn't a bow and arrow.

Facing the insect, Lezhi gripped his longsword tightly with both hands. Seizing the opportunity, he swooped down. With a clang, the sound of metal colliding with a hard object rang out, and sparks flew. Lezhi's hand holding the sword was slightly numb from the impact, but the insect's carapace only suffered a tiny scratch.

The attacked insect turned around to face Lezhi directly, its long antennae twitching slightly as if mocking the futility of Lezhi's attack.

"Hiss, what is this thing? It's so hard." Le Zhi flicked his wrist, glanced at the blade, and secretly sighed that Le Zhong's craftsmanship could withstand the test, and the blade was still relatively smooth.

Looking up and meeting those inorganic compound eyes, Lezhi's gaze darkened.

If he had known before the battle that this insect would be so troublesome, he might have chosen to avoid it, but now, they must fight to the death.

There is no other choice now.

"I'd like to see if your carapace is truly indestructible..."

The more critical the situation, the calmer Lezhi became. He adjusted his grip on the knife and did not attack blindly. Instead, he selectively probed and attacked various points, trying to find the insect's weakness.

The long claws, head, neck, carapace, and even the side of the insect were all struck by the long sword. The wings on Lezhi's back were just afterimages as the attack speed increased. Even with such efforts, it was still impossible to break through the insect's defense.

"Phew~, is this guy a clam? It's so hard to hit."

Although they can still hold on, the fact that such a high-intensity attack has no effect is inevitably exhausting.

To make matters worse, the attack not only failed to break the insect's defenses but also successfully enraged it. Its menacing mouthparts made a "clattering" sound, which not only gave people goosebumps but also stirred up some unpleasant memories for Lezhi.

It was this "clattering" sound that kept him running around like a headless chicken as soon as he arrived.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes; at this moment, he truly harbored murderous intent.

The best way to overcome psychological trauma is to confront it and then destroy it.

The subconscious mind drives the body's energy, starting from the center of the forehead, circling the body, and then returning to the center of the forehead.

The burst of energy alerted the insects on the other side to the presence of danger.

The insect no longer waited passively. Its dark, hard carapace opened, and the transparent wings hidden inside fluttered silently. Its body rose from the ground, and the person and the insect looked at each other from a distance.

Knowing that some insects can fly, Lezhi wasn't alarmed; instead, she became even more excited.

A playful smile curved his lips as he loosened and tightened his grip on the long sword one finger at a time, then wiggled his wrist to adjust his posture, preparing for the next attack.

The fighter jet arrived in an instant, and the bug couldn't resist any longer. It also realized that the person opposite it seemed to be difficult to deal with, so it made a feint, seemingly charging straight at Lezhi, but in reality, it took advantage of Lezhi's inattention and suddenly sprayed venom from its mouth when it got close, aiming to catch Lezhi off guard.

Although this venom is not fatal, it can cause great pain if it comes into contact with the skin.

Lezhi didn't fall for it. He has an advantage: he can easily get absorbed in an event. Once he is immersed in it, his focus is immediately maximized.

With high concentration, one can easily judge the insect's movements. Upon noticing its abnormal mouthpart movements, Lezhi dodges in advance and takes the opportunity to strike the insect again, successfully severing that antenna.

In this encounter, Lezhi emerged with a narrow victory.

Not only was the insect's attack defeated, but one of its tentacles was also cut off. Its inorganic compound eyes turned blood red, and the remaining one tentacle twitched and swayed incessantly. After completely losing its mind, it launched an even more ferocious and chaotic attack.

good chance.

It's not the insect's anger that's worrisome, but its continued calm and concealment. Now, in fact, is the perfect opportunity to confront it.

Its pure white wings flapped rapidly, allowing Lezhi to nimbly dodge the insects' attacks, ensuring that not a single one of them landed.

As Lei Xiu watched from the sidelines, he seemed to see Le Zhi's wings turn transparent in an instant, but upon closer inspection, they were still the same as before.

"Am I seeing things?" Or is it because of the Blue Moon's influence that I'm seeing things wrong?

Puzzled, Lei Xiu watched with even greater focus. Le Zhi hadn't been at a disadvantage from beginning to end in this battle; it should be over soon.

Once you've truly fought insects, you'll know that the Treant race is one of the most powerful races in Jormungand, and they have nothing to fear, whether it's plants, insects, or birds and beasts.

As Lei Xiu had predicted, the battle ended quickly. Before Lei Xiu could even confirm whether he had been seeing things, Le Zhi had already successfully found the insect's weak point on its abdomen near its neck.

He learned to channel energy into the longsword without a teacher, just like the claws that had grown back then; the longsword has now become a part of Lezhi's body.

The blade flashed, and the insect's compound eyes only caught a fleeting afterimage. The next instant, a chill ran down its neck, and it could no longer think.

The insect's head and body separated, and after falling to the ground, some blood slowly flowed out, landing on the stone and staining it red.

The longsword, however, remained pristine and gleamed under the blue moonlight.

"Zhizhi, you did a great job! Are you alright?"

"Lei Xiu, I won..." After confirming that the insect was beyond saving, Le Zhi slowly withdrew the energy that he had unconsciously released while panting. He turned his head and was about to show off to Lei Xiu when he heard a crackling sound and his hand suddenly felt lighter.

"What's happening here?"

The longsword, now devoid of energy, crumbled inch by inch. A gentle breeze swept by, and it scattered in all directions. Yuezhi reached out in vain, but could grasp nothing.

Lei Xiu, who witnessed all of this, was also stunned.

The two looked at each other, with only the ceaseless breeze and the birdsong remaining...
