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

Chapter 242 Purpose

Because of the fur ball blocking his way, Lezhi wasn't too nervous. In contrast, Leyou and Leting behind him were more nervous.

This environment brought back memories of being kidnapped the day before, a truly unpleasant experience. Although they were initially excited about riding birds and beasts, they couldn't help but feel lingering fear when they thought back on it.

"Lezhi, what are they trying to do..." Leyou gripped Lezhi's clothes tightly and whispered the question in Lezhi's ear.

"I don't know, I'm still waiting for Maoqiu to translate for me!" Lezhi answered softly without turning her head.

Even though he knew that these birds and beasts could communicate without calling out, he still wasn't used to it. The main problem was being stared at by the big bird's dark eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Eye contact is a very intimate form of communication. Especially with unfamiliar animals, making eye contact abruptly is not a good thing and can easily be perceived as a provocation.

However, it was clear that the fluffy ball and the big bird communicated very smoothly.

What seemed like an eternity to Lezhi and his companions was actually only a few breaths in, as Maoqiu quickly learned of the purpose of these birds and beasts gathering there.

It turned its head and chirped and chirped at Lezhi for a long time before Lezhi understood what it meant.

"...Ha, you mean they're gathered here because a member of their race has been infected with the Shadow Disease and wants me to come and help them take a look."

"Tweet~"

"Are those birds and beasts infected with the Shadow Disease in a cave down below?"

"Chirp~"

Lezhi and Maoqiu's voices were not quiet, and Leyou and Leting could hear them clearly.

"Lezhi, these birds and beasts really do want you to help heal the shadow. I knew it. What important matter could make these birds and beasts break through the long-standing boundaries to bring us here? If it's the shadow, then it makes sense."

"However, how did these birds and beasts know that Lezhi can cure the shadow? Even our friendly race only found out recently." Le Ting was a little puzzled.

"Who knows? Maybe some birds or beasts can understand us. Lezhi has healed so many people, there must be people talking about it outside. Maybe that bird overheard it and then it spread..." Leyou's imagination ran wild.

After this experience, he realized that these birds and beasts were no less intelligent than the tree spirits. Since their intelligence was so close to that of intelligent beings, it was only natural that they could understand the language of other races and had their own communication system.

Look at Maoqiu and Lezhi; they've spent a long time together, which has led to their increasingly tacit understanding. Now they can completely understand each other's meaning without any obstacles.

What Maoqiu can do, other birds can definitely do too. Maybe one day he will meet a bird or beast that can talk. Anything is possible!

Meanwhile, on the other side of the continent, a brightly colored bird was hiding on a branch, silently listening to the discussion of the tree spirits below. They kept mentioning the name Lezhi, saying that he was the only person who could cure the Shadow Disease.

"...If it weren't for the fact that it's winter and not a good time for long journeys, I would have set off long ago. I've endured this shadow disease for long enough. Even if there's only a sliver of hope, I can't give up." The woman, whose face was somewhat haggard but who was still beautiful, spoke while her hands continued to collect herbs.

"Yes, I support you. And I heard from the people who brought the news that many people have been cured, which means that Lezhi's ability has been verified. If that's the case, then it's worth making a special trip. If you need, I can go with you." This is what a friend should do.

"Thank you~"

"Hey, don't be so polite. We grew up together and have known each other for so many years..."

There weren't many fruits to gather during the winter season, so the gathering team quickly left the forest, perhaps to find another place, or perhaps to prepare to return. These were not matters for the birds and beasts to concern themselves with.

Its hook-like beak opened slightly, and the words "Lezhi" immediately resounded through the silent forest, almost exactly the same as the voice and tone of the person who had just uttered the name "Lezhi".

"A dark shadow~"

"Joyful knowledge, shadowy figures, healing~"

The bird and beast spoke more and more fluently, as if to deepen their memory. They kept repeating the key points they had just grasped from the conversation, and even as they flew rapidly through the air, their words never stopped.

Unaware that his words had come true, Leyou nervously followed behind Lezhi. As the discussion was completed, Lezhi promised the big bird that he would immediately begin healing the birds and beasts that were being afflicted by the shadows.

"...But you must promise me that once I heal your companions, you will let us leave, and during this time you must guarantee the safety of me and my companions." After confirming that the birds and beasts' request was within his capabilities, Lezhi made his demands much more justified.

Through Maoqiu's relay, Da Niao readily agreed to Lezhi's request.

Both parties reached an agreement happily. Leyou and Leting witnessed the whole process and were finally given a clear answer that their personal safety was guaranteed, which greatly relieved them.

It seems that communication is always important. If it weren't for Maoqiu here today, who knows what might have happened given the behavior of these wild birds and beasts.

The fluffy ball made a great contribution.

The little cat, praised by Lezhi and the other two in turn, kept its merits hidden. That's the advantage of not being able to communicate with each other in the same language; it can selectively tell Lezhi information, and it will simply skip over anything that is not good for itself.

So to this day, Lezhi and the others still don't know that these big birds were lured to their door by Maoqiu.

Some secrets are best kept secret forever, Maoqiu puffed out his chest.

The cave where the sick birds and beasts were settled was located at the very bottom of the mountain wall. Lezhi, who had been flying down with the large bird, was puzzled. As far as he knew, although the living habits of birds and beasts varied, they all chose to live in high places. How could this cave be on the ground? This did not seem to match the habits of birds and beasts.

Puzzled, Lezhi and his two companions landed with the birds and beasts. Led by a bird with grayish-purple feathers, a round head, and an extremely cute appearance if you ignored its size, they arrived at a spacious cave located on the side of the mountain wall.

The entrance to the cave was very spacious, but it required turning a corner to enter. The sudden darkness made it difficult for Lezhi to see the environment inside the cave at first glance. However, most of the birds and beasts had stopped moving forward, leaving only the large bird with firm steps, leading Lezhi forward.

As they approached the inner cave, even the fur ball that had been nestled in Lezhi's arms began to stir restlessly.

Lezhi was very familiar with this situation. Every time he cured the shadow disease, as soon as Maoqiu got close to those shadow disease patients who were having an attack, he would immediately sense that danger was approaching and his body would react subconsciously.

"Leyou, Leting, I'll go by myself from now on. You two must not come any closer."

Lezhi handed the fluffy ball to Leyou, and also took off the bundle in front of her chest and handed it to Leting. Lezhi said, "I'm entrusting the fluffy ball and the chick to you."

Having witnessed Lezhi healing his clansmen before, Leyou and the others knew that Lezhi had to handle the rest on his own, and they were powerless to help, so they didn't say anything more.

"Okay, we'll take good care of ourselves, and we'll also take good care of Maoqiu and the chicks. You have to be careful too!" Even though she knew that Lezhi had cured countless patients with the Shadow Disease, Leyou still couldn't help but worry because this wasn't her own territory.

The same was true of Le Ting beside him; her eyes were filled with worry.

Knowing that her companions cared about her, Lezhi gladly accepted their kindness. "Well, don't worry, I will definitely do what I can and won't force myself."

After saying that, under the watchful eyes of everyone and even the birds, Lezhi walked firmly into the cave entrance, and soon his figure was swallowed by the darkness.
