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

Chapter 227 The Intentions of Birds and Beasts

"What..." Le Jing screamed shrilly upon hearing the news. He had led the team out, and he was the last to know that something had happened. This was unacceptable.

"Wait a moment, let me check." Le Jing hurriedly said this, and the people waiting there could only hear the faint sound of wind and fragmented words. It was clear that Le Jing was asking someone to confirm something.

A short while later, Hua Duo's voice, now much more serious, came through: "Le Shan, I've checked everything. Le Ting isn't here, and neither are Le You and Le Zhi, who were with him."

As expected, Le Chu wasn't surprised by this; in fact, she felt a sense of relief. She sighed and rubbed her forehead, asking, "Do you know where they went?"

"Crystal Cave, at least that's what Leyou told me. I'll take people to check it out as soon as I've made arrangements for the others."

“Okay, the clan has already arranged for people to go out and meet us.” Le Chu said confidently, but still exchanged a glance with Le Shan. After receiving a nod of affirmation from Le Shan, she continued, “I will tell the clansmen who went to meet you about the situation on your side later. Contact me immediately if anything happens.”

"Ok."

Communicating through the mother-child vine requires a lot of energy, so they didn't waste any words, quickly expressed their meaning, and then cut off the connection.

As the light on the flowers dimmed, so too did Le Chu and Le Shan's faces darken.

"Did you arrange for Le Zhong to meet you?" Le Chu's voice was much deeper when she asked, but it wasn't directed at Le Shan.

Leshan was not surprised that Lechu had guessed his plan. "Yes."

"Okay, Le Sheng, please contact Le Zhong."

Soon, the flower belonging to Le Zhong lit up. "Le Zhong, Le Jing has confirmed that she is not with Le Ting and the others. The last information we received was that they went to the Crystal Cave. Le You and Le Zhi were with Le Ting. Go directly there. Le Jing has already rushed over."

Le Chu succinctly conveyed the information she had just received to Le Zhong. Upon hearing Le Zhong's calm reply of "Okay," Le Chu felt somewhat relieved.

"Lesheng, please continue to keep an eye on things here. If there are any new developments, please let me know immediately."

"Okay, patriarch."

More people were in danger than they had imagined. The presence of Lezhi made the danger unpredictable. Leshan and Lechu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Why did they suddenly have a feeling that a storm was brewing?

……

On the other side, just as Leting breathed a sigh of relief after successfully sending out a distress signal, the situation on the scene immediately took an unpredictable turn, like a runaway horse.

First, there's the furball. Whether it had a falling out with the big bird or the two birds had reached some kind of agreement, the tree spirits couldn't read the birds' minds just from their expressions. They could only barely judge whether there was any danger based on the birds' actions.

The birds and beasts that had been quietly waiting seemed to have received instructions after Maoqiu finished communicating with the big bird. Two birds walked straight towards Leyou and Leting.

As they moved forward, birds and beasts spread their wings and made flapping motions. Due to the large difference in their size, the airflow generated by the flapping of their wings made Leyou and Leting stagger.

"Oh my god..."

"Leyou, watch out, ouch..."

Before Leyou and Leting could even stand still, the birds and beasts, who had already divided their targets, took to the air and, in a flash, their sharp claws grabbed Leyou and Leting, instantly making them hostages.

Upon noticing the commotion behind him, Lezhi turned around and witnessed this horrifying scene. "Hey, what are you doing..."

"Lezhi, help me..."

"Holy crap, let me go..."

"Tweet~"

Lezhi, who was about to rush forward, was stopped by Maoqiu. When he saw that it was Maoqiu who was blocking his way, Lezhi stopped in surprise, somewhat incredulous.

"Furry, you..."

"Chirp chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

"What do you mean by 'don't be afraid, there's no ill intent'... Fine!"

After understanding what Maoqiu meant, Lezhi's brows remained tightly furrowed. "This is not what you call no malice? Leyou and Leting have been captured. This is blatant kidnapping."

"Chirp chirp~"

"You just want to take us somewhere?"

The more he listened, the more confused he became. Before he could figure it out, a shadow fell over his head, covering his entire body with more than enough space.

Realizing that he had just overlooked the danger that had always been around him, Lezhi stared wide-eyed at the furry ball in front of him, who still looked completely indifferent.

"No way, do I have to do that too?"

"Chirp chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp~"

"Sigh, okay, then what about them? Can't we try a different approach? This is too crude..."

"Tweet~"

Maoqiu's voice carried a hint of helpless indulgence. He looked up and stared at the big bird for a while. Soon, Leyou and Leting, who were being held captive, realized that they could break free from the bird's claws. However, freedom was only this much. Although they could fly on their own, they were surrounded by birds and beasts.

Seeing this, Lezhi felt helpless, but this was already the treatment he had fought for. He spread his wings and came to Leyou and Leting. Leting explained, "Maoqiu told me that these birds and beasts want to take me somewhere to help them. Because they are afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, they can't let you go. You have to come with me."

She pouted, realizing she had instantly become a burden to her companions, a truly awful feeling. "I'm sorry, Leyou and Leting, it's all because of me, otherwise you wouldn't have suffered like this."

Having understood the intentions of these birds and beasts from Lezhi, Leyou and Leting were no longer as afraid as before. What they had always feared was the unknown, but now that they knew the birds and beasts only needed Lezhi's help and they were merely bystanders, their adventurous spirit began to resurface.

"What are you talking about? We came out together, of course we should act together. If I had known they meant this, I wouldn't have been so nervous just now, it was terrifying."

"Yes, Lezhi, this isn't something you can decide on your own. Don't take all the responsibility on yourself. So what do we do now? Are we going to go with the birds and beasts?"

"Well, what Maoqiu means is that we're flying too slowly, so it's best to have birds and beasts carry us, otherwise we won't be able to reach our destination before dark."

"What!?"

Upon hearing Lezhi's words, Leyou had already put all his worries to the back of his mind, and all he could hear was the message to have the birds and beasts deliver the message.

"You mean, we can also have birds and animals to travel with, like how Maoqiu takes you?!"

Seeing that Leyou's expression didn't seem scared, Lezhi's previously furrowed face relaxed slightly. She glanced at Leting, who was also somewhat excited, and tentatively nodded.

"Yes, just like how Maoqiu took me before. But a bird can only take one person, and the bird has to be willing. The birds that came to catch you just now volunteered, so I suggest you choose them. Otherwise, the other birds might refuse..."

Before Lezhi could finish speaking, Leyou excitedly spun around in place before cautiously approaching the bird or beast that had just kidnapped him.

"No problem, this bird is perfect. It looks very majestic, don't you think, Leting?"

"Um, Lezhi, can we really let the birds and beasts carry it? Is it okay, is it okay?"

“Sure, Maoqiu said that if they come out on their own, it means they’re willing,” Lezhi replied with a chuckle.

"Great!" Leyou and Leting exchanged an excited glance. Without needing anyone to give an order, they tacitly turned to find the big bird that had just kidnapped them to build up their bond.

Next, Lezhi observed a large-scale social event where the perpetrator and the hostage reached a settlement in a second, and the scene was harmonious. "Seriously, they adapted too quickly..." Was he unable to keep up, or were his friends too carefree? That's a good question.
