Chapter 265 Round
"I came to find you..."
These three short words, besides answering Lezhi's question, also revealed Lei Xiu's undeniable worry and his true feelings.
Noticing that Lei Xiu's tone was different from usual, Le Zhi blinked guiltily, her lips, which usually curved into a stiff smile, becoming somewhat stiff.
"Um, thank you for your hard work, I..."
"Lezhi, Leixiu..." Lezhi's words were interrupted by Leman, who rushed over, "Are you alright? Lezhi, especially you, how are you? Are you hurt? Just now..."
"Just now?" Lezhi's arm was grabbed by Leman, forcing her to turn 360 degrees. She finally managed to stand up, but her mind was still reeling.
"You were fighting with that bird just now, you know. When I realized it was you, I was completely stunned. I almost fell off the plane mid-flight. Luckily I didn't, otherwise if the captain found out, he'd probably make me go back for extra training..." Le Man rambled on, his words coming in rapid succession. Although he tried to relax, Le Zhi could still sense the worry and slight apprehension that he couldn't hide beneath his boundless words.
Thinking about her impressive performance just now, Lezhi understood. Without exposing Leman, Lezhi continued, "I'm fine. It's probably because of Teacher Lejing's recent rigorous training. I suddenly had an epiphany and knew how to use my abilities, so my inner power exploded."
Raising one arm, Lezhi made a muscle-squeezing motion.
"It's alright, it's alright," Le Man felt much more relaxed when he heard Le Zhi saying some strange things again. This was the Le Man he knew.
The Lezhi who couldn't hide his villainous aura before felt really unfamiliar, and there were some things that Leman couldn't tell outsiders. In fact, Leman was actually a little afraid to face that kind of Lezhi from the bottom of his heart.
The last time I felt this way was when I was facing Lei Xiu and getting completely thrashed.
Thinking of this, Le Man glanced at Lei Xiu and saw that he still had that expressionless look on his face. He probably didn't realize that she was secretly thinking about him in her heart. Le Man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, I was just about to ask, why did you suddenly get into a fight with Fanle Bird? What about Leyou and Leting? How are they? Where are they now?"
"The Prosperous Bird, is that what you mean?" Upon hearing the name from Le Man, Le Zhi turned around and met the bird's innocent eyes. The Prosperous Bird was the name given to it by these alien races. Their bird and beast races did not have the concept of racial names, but from today onwards, it did. From now on, it would be the Prosperous Bird.
Seeing the fawning look in the bird's eyes, Lezhi's lips twitched. Ever since it submitted to her, this bird's behavior had become increasingly bizarre. Shaking her head, Lezhi turned to answer Leman's question, "I don't know why they suddenly started fighting. Something happened in the valley earlier. Oh, right, Leyou and Leting are still in the cave in the valley..."
With his eyes bulging, Lezhi finally remembered that his two friends were still trapped.
"It's alright, it's alright. The captain and the others are stationed outside the valley. If you're sure, I'll send a message right away and tell them to go rescue people."
"Tweet~"
"Hey, Maoqiu, what did you say? What does it mean that Leyou and Leting are following us?"
Just as Le Man was about to start Zi Teng to send a message, he paused when he heard Le Zhi's exclamation and turned to look at Le Zhi in surprise.
"No way……"
"Chirp chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"
"Damn it..." After receiving a clear reply from Maoqiu, Lezhi bit her lip and said anxiously to Leman, "Maoqiu told me that Leyou and Leting led the chicks out of the valley with the bird and beast caravan, and they should still be in the forest now." Moreover, the surrounding animals were all birds and beasts of unknown purpose.
Thinking of this, Lezhi and Leman exchanged a sorrowful look, their hearts simultaneously writhing in anguish.
Leyou and Leting, you two absolutely mustn't get into any trouble...
Without wasting a second, Le Man quickly activated the secondary vine to inform the clansmen waiting at the mother vine of the news. Now that Le Zhi was out of danger, Le You and Le Ting's future was even more uncertain.
After a moment of anxiety, Lezhi immediately realized what he should do, something only he could do.
Turning around, Yuezhi approached the bird and, with a clear goal in mind, charged straight at the wing root he had scratched himself.
"Does it still hurt a lot? Can you fly now?"
"Eh~"
When its master spoke, the bird dared not pretend to be dead any longer. To be honest, after resting for so long, its injuries were not nearly as serious as they looked. Wild birds and animals have strong recovery abilities. Otherwise, how could it have survived alone in the wild? It would have been devoured by insects that took advantage of its weakness long ago.
"Wow~"
The sound of the large bird flapping its wings rang out. Using its intact wing for leverage, the Lucky Bird pushed off with its two sharp claws and stood up smoothly. Its bright eyes and powerfully flapping wings indicated that it was in good overall condition.
The injury at the base of the wing was particularly tricky. Although the injury wasn't serious, it was in a critical position, so the bird tried for a long time, exhausting itself to the point of being covered in sweat, but it just couldn't exert any force on that injured wing.
Seeing this, Lezhi frowned, knowing that it was because he had gone too far earlier that he had caused this trouble.
"It's no use. The tendon connecting its wing to its body has been severed and won't recover for a while. Until then, it can't fly." Seeing Lezhi's distress, Lei Xiu immediately stepped forward and stopped the restless bird with a single glance, lest its injury worsen due to carelessness.
"Oh, what should we do? I was just thinking about how to subdue it, I didn't expect to hit it so hard." Hearing Lei Xiu's words, Le Zhi felt even more guilty.
Taking action may feel good at the moment, but it will lead to disaster later.
Although he calmly considered every step he took during the fight, he only considered the immediate situation and not the consequences, which shows that he did not think things through comprehensively enough and made a mistake.
Unconsciously, Lezhi curled his lips and reflected on his actions in his mind. Although he felt guilty, he was also secretly pleased that he had been able to achieve the damage he had planned so precisely.
He's pretty good at fighting. Maybe he can try fighting insects in the future. When fighting birds and beasts, you have to be careful about this and that, but you don't have to when fighting insects. He can fight however he wants. It's a good opportunity to test his current limits.
Seeing the changes in Lezhi's expression, Lei Xiu knew that Lezhi was probably starting to drift off into his own thoughts, so he quickly pulled him back, "It's okay. Fighting is all about being quick, accurate, and ruthless. You should always be like that in the future. On the battlefield, don't sympathize with your opponent. As for what happens afterward, there's always a solution."
Lei Xiu, who knew Le Zhi well, was good at grasping the key points, especially considering Le Zhi's personality. That's why he gave him this warning, fearing that Le Zhi might become hesitant and timid in future battles because of this incident, which is not the mentality of a good warrior.
"Hmm, what do I do now? I want to go find Leyou and Leting, but what if those birds and beasts see me defeat the Fanle Bird and become hostile towards me? Hmm, thinking about it, what about Leyou and Leting..."
"The captain and the others should have received my message by now. If nothing unexpected happens, they should arrive soon. We're not afraid of their numbers. Let's not delay, let's set off to find them now. Lezhi, ask Maoqiu if he knows the last location of Leyou and Leting?"
"Okay, fluffy ball..."
Just as the furry ball, on whom high hopes were placed, was about to answer, it looked up and seemed to see something that terrified it. For the first time, an expression of extreme horror appeared on its round, furry face.
"Chirp~~"
