Chapter 291 Drawing fire from the bottom of the cauldron
Lacking information, even if they wanted to help, they didn't know where to start, which drove Leshan, the team commander, to the brink of madness with anxiety.
"I think I have a way." Seeing the struggle on Le Shan's face, Le Zhi suddenly spoke up.
"What is it?" Leshan and Lezhong exchanged a glance and asked suspiciously.
As if knowing how absurd her words were, Lezhi smiled before she even opened her mouth. "Whether it's thunder and lightning or heavy rain, the root cause is the clouds in the sky. So, all we need to do is find a way to disperse the clouds, right?"
Lezhi uttered those shocking words so casually, with a calm madness that seemed to completely disregard the life or death of the listener.
Because Lezhi spoke in such a calm tone, Leshan and Lezhong did not rush to refute him. Instead, they thought about what Lezhi said for a while and finally realized that Lezhi was right.
Thunderstorms are formed by clouds, and heavy rain is caused by clouds. If the clouds are dispersed, these problems can be solved at their source, and the possibility of recurrence can be prevented.
Having a deep understanding of the principle of "cutting off the fuel supply from the source," this was originally just a vague idea of Lezhi's own. But after actually saying it out loud, the more Lezhi thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Even more, Lezhi raised his hand, and a gray storm swirled in his pure white eyes. Almost at the same time, a whirlwind suddenly rose around him, pushing away all the raindrops around him and forming a strange space.
This scene caused Le Zhong and Le Shan, who were about to ask Le Zhi about his specific ideas on dispersing the clouds, to widen their eyes in unison. Le Shan even opened his mouth unconsciously, and rainwater entered his mouth. He swallowed it subconsciously before he came back to his senses.
"Old buddy, pinch me right now, I think I'm seeing things..."
"..."
Le Zhong glanced at Le Shan speechlessly, then resisted the urge to reach out. "Fine, considering how hard it is for him to lead the team," he said. "You're not seeing things, because I saw it too."
"Hiss, what's going on here?"
"Do you remember when Lezhi and the others returned to their homeland, they talked about how they got back?"
"Ah, you mean the wind..."
“Yes, it seems that Lezhi has not only awakened his talent for plants this time, but I had a vague idea when you told me that he could predict tidal storms. In addition, when they said that he was led by the wind, I became even more certain that Lezhi probably has a natural affinity for the wind.”
"How do you know? I've never heard of being averse to wind?" They grew up and studied together, so how could Le Zhong know something that he didn't? That's not normal.
“If you’re stupid, you should study more and read more books when you have free time…” This finally gave Le Zhong an opportunity to ridicule Le Shan, and he didn’t hold back at all.
Actually, after he was corrupted by the shadow, he read extensively in the clan's books in order to find a way to break the curse, and saw it in the records.
"I used to think that this kind of physique was just a story made up by people, but now it seems that it should all be documentary literature. Actually, it's nothing, just like the Thunder Clan's innate resistance to lightning. It's just a special physique, only it's relatively rare." At least that's what the book he read said.
He doesn't remember who the author of the book is, and there's no way to verify it.
"All right……"
They couldn't get a definite answer, but at least they had a direction. The two approached Lezhi together. After a long pause, Leshan spoke with a complicated expression, "Lezhi, what you just said means you've already figured out what to do, right?"
The wind had completely washed away the moisture from her body, leaving her feeling incredibly dry. Lezhi spoke with exceptional confidence about her plans, "Yes, although I've never tried it before, there's always a first time, and I feel like it should be fine."
"Fine." Le Shan gritted his teeth and didn't say anything against it. Although he really wanted to object, Le Zhi was still a minor who hadn't graduated yet. With all the adults around, they were asking a child to charge into battle. This crossed Le Shan's bottom line. But from Le Zhi's previous performance, he could tell that in a short time, something unknown had happened to Le Zhi.
Moreover, from the previous argument between Lezhi and Lezhong, Leshan also figured out the child's temper. On the surface, he seems soft and gentle, and he usually agrees with whatever others say, saying "okay," "it doesn't matter," or "no problem." But when it comes to matters that touch on his bottom line, this little guy has a very strong temper.
Without even seeing Le Zhong's initial exchange, he was completely defeated. "Since you've made your decision, I support you. Le Zhong and I will be nearby keeping an eye on things. If anything goes wrong, we'll be there to help immediately..."
"Need not……"
"Alright, no need to say more. You have your decision, and I have my principles. First it was Lei Xiu, and then it was you. We're always the ones charging into battle. We're just doing logistics, what's wrong with that? It's all our duty. That's the decision."
Seeing that Le Shan had arranged everything with Le Zhi in just a few words, Le Zhong didn't hesitate for too long this time. The main reason was that even if he hesitated, it would be useless. He couldn't stop Le Zhi before, and he couldn't stop her now either.
“Yes, I agree. I’ll inform Lei Xiu to avoid making too much noise and him making the wrong decision without knowing the situation.” Le Zhong said, his expression becoming more and more resolute.
The two were soaked to the bone in the heavy rain, looking like drowned rats. It was difficult for them to keep flapping their wings and staying in mid-air, but their eyes were still bright and sparkling, even more so than ever before.
"Okay, then I'll leave it to you." The fluffy ball and the chick didn't say anything; they were determined to follow Lezhi no matter what he did.
Lezhi understood, so he didn't waste any more words. He turned and looked at Maoqiu, who immediately understood what Lezhi meant. The fortress-like bird flashed and turned into a small fur ball, which Lezhi stuffed into the bundle in front of his chest. When he raised his hand to pluck the chick off his head, the chick refused.
"Chi chi chi~"
"Okay, since you insist, then hold on tight, don't get left behind!"
"Chirp chirp~"
"Alright, then Captain Leshan, Uncle Lezhong, I'm going. There might be quite a commotion later, so be careful and adapt to the situation."
Before Leshan and Lezhong could offer any further instructions, Lezhi turned and rushed towards the high-altitude clouds without looking back. From the moment he arrived, he had found the oppressive clouds unpleasant to look at, and now he finally had the opportunity to test the limits of his newly developed abilities.
A storm was brewing, but this time the target became the instigator of it all.
With pure white wings, Lezhi was like a white lightning bolt. His upward flight was incredibly fast, with his wings barely flapping and relying entirely on the wind for support.
It seemed like only a blink of an eye before he rushed into the thick clouds and disappeared from sight.
The main force, which had been ordered to retreat to a distance, was speechless and choked with emotion upon witnessing this scene, unsure of what to say.
Along the way, Lezhi brought them too many surprises. If they remembered correctly, they seemed to have come out to rescue people.
“Le Yun…” Le Man came to his friend who was also looking up, trying to express some feelings. You can’t blame him, he has suffered too many blows recently, and he would suffocate if he didn’t say something.
"Let go~" Yue Yun's eyes seemed to still be savoring the pure white figure from just now. Her thoughts were disrupted, and she was a little annoyed.
"Do you believe that if we had arrived any later, Lezhi alone could have subdued all these birds?" Leman, who had witnessed Lezhi brutally beating the Fanle Birds, was convinced of his own guess.
"Heh, I think it's more than that; they might even beat us up while they're at it."
"Hey, you rascal, I was just saying it offhand~"
"boring."
Just from the abilities Lezhi casually displayed, there's no need for him to say anything; everyone present knows that the little guy is destined to shine in this era.
