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

Chapter 225 The Truth About "Chirp Chirp"

Because Leyou's voice was very soft, apart from Leting beside him, the other people and birds only knew that he spoke, but they couldn't hear what he said.

Rakuchi, who was facing the giant bird's attack head-on, also heard the commotion behind him, but at that moment he didn't have the energy to take care of his friends, so he could only pray in his heart that they would have good luck and take care of themselves.

When Le Ting, urged on by Le You, found that the birds and beasts around him did not react excessively to Le You's unauthorized actions, he knew that this level of activity was within their permissible range, so he responded much more boldly.

"Almost there, I can already feel it sprouting, just give me a little more time." It was a faint whisper, but the words gave Leyou immense encouragement.

Out of the corner of her eye, Le You gave Le Ting an affirming look. Knowing that their operation had made progress, Le You was no longer as nervous as before. She began to subtly look around, trying to observe the surrounding environment in order to prepare for their next escape.

Yes, although Leyou and Leting may seem useless, they are older than Lezhi, have received more time in the clan's education, and have learned much more than Lezhi, who is a complete novice.

Although they are still far from meeting the clan's standards for graduation, basic self-defense skills have always been the first to be taught within the clan and are reviewed and updated every year.

What Leyou just urged Leting to do was a little trick they had been taught during training. For thousands of years, the tree spirits have subdued and domesticated many plants, bringing them considerable convenience in all aspects of their lives. One of these is called the Mother-Child Vine.

As the name suggests, this is a twin plant. The mother vine is planted within the tribe and tended to continuously for thirty hours a day, while the offspring vines are distributed to the tribe members. If a tribe member encounters a problem they cannot solve while away, they can stimulate the growth of offspring vines on the spot. Once the offspring vines mature, they can connect with the mother vine, and the two can communicate through the mother and offspring vines. However, this operation consumes a lot of energy.

The activation process alone has already stumped many people, not to mention the continued energy expenditure after activation, which no one else can help with. This is because the activated vines only recognize the energy fluctuations of the person who activated them, which requires the person using the vines to have a certain level of energy reserves and to find the right time to use them.

Furthermore, the annual production of *Zi Teng* seeds is limited, so in order to apply for *Zi Teng* seeds, in addition to submitting the required materials, one must also pass an examination by a designated person within the clan, and only those who meet the standards can receive them.

The young ones in the clan who are just beginning their training treat this assessment as a kind of simulation training. If they can't even pass this assessment, then graduation is a long way off. Therefore, there is always a lot of people applying for Ziteng.

Leyou and Leting also applied, of course. Anyway, the assessment itself didn't require any effort. They only needed to "pay" when applying for the seeds after passing the assessment. They treated it as a rehearsal before graduation.

Although many people participated, since the assessment had a passing threshold, some people were bound to fail. Leyou failed, and even Le Nian failed. On the contrary, Leju and Leting successfully met the assessment standards after taking the test several times and successfully applied for the seeds.

That's why we're in this mess today. Just now, under Le You's prompting, Le Ting was secretly making preparations and activating the only vine seed he had.

When receiving the seeds, I was repeatedly warned to be very careful when using them, and to only use them if I was really in danger. They were not to be used for fun, otherwise if the clan found out, my application to receive seeds next time would be rejected.

Le Ting was quite obedient, keeping the seeds carefully close to his body, and today, they finally had a chance to be used.

If being surrounded by birds and beasts wasn't a crisis, then what was? Therefore, Le Ting didn't hesitate to secretly start stimulating the seeds.

It's widely acknowledged that the ripening technique is difficult. Although Leting passed the test, he still had to exert all his strength when actually using it. Leyou couldn't help Leting, so he could only cover for him. Even so, Leting's ripening progress was still not fast.

Seeing that the big bird had already begun to get close to Lezhi, Leting, who was very anxious, increased his energy output again, praying in his heart that the vine would mature quickly.

Lezhi, who was trying to communicate with the big bird, was completely unaware of the actions of his companions behind him. He hadn't even finished his basic physical training class, and he had never even come into contact with the Mother-Child Vine, so he couldn't possibly think of anything in that direction.

The chicks' protests had begun to weaken under Lezhi's deliberate soothing. Seeing the chicks calm down, Lezhi looked up and met the gaze of the large bird above his head.

"Um, what do you want?"

Unsure if the big bird could understand her, Lezhi pondered for a moment before trying to speak, otherwise, this stalemate couldn't continue.

The big bird's eyes, adorned with ornate gold eyeliner, instantly focused, staring intently at Lezhi who had just spoken. It stared for a while, until Lezhi's forehead was practically beaded with sweat, before seemingly casually shifting its gaze.

The sharp beak that had been so close to Lezhi slowly moved away. The big bird raised its head, and Lezhi could only see the bird's intricate and beautiful belly feathers again.

If it weren't for the fur ball on his head, Lezhi would have looked up long ago, but the fur ball's presence limited his performance.

Whether it was intentional or not, Maoqiu continued to communicate with the big bird in place of Lezhi, conveying the same meaning as before, but with a hint of impatience in its tone.

Perhaps because it was dissatisfied that the big bird had dragged on for so long over such a small matter, Lezhi even sensed from Maoqiu's words that it was annoyed that the big bird was delaying its meal.

The big bird responded in some way that made the furball's complaints flow like a torrent. Lezhi didn't need to see the expressions on the furball and the big bird's faces; just by imagining it in his mind, he could picture it. It was exactly like the old men and women arguing in the market.

The scene is grand, and both sides are swearing, but the reason for the argument often leaves onlookers puzzled.

Even missing a meal can make Maoqiu so angry that she gets into an argument with the other person, which Lezhi finds truly astounding.

He did want to chime in, but the two birds were so engrossed in their back-and-forth that Lezhi couldn't find a suitable opportunity. So he could only stand there like a human pillar, listening to the fluffy bird chirping incessantly. The big bird, on the other hand, never made a loud sound. He wondered how the fluffy bird managed to put on such a one-man show and start arguing with a mute bird.

The attitudes of the onlookers and Lezhi and his companions were polarized. Unlike the helplessness on Lezhi and his friends' faces, the birds were unusually calm. Clearly, although the big bird did not speak, its meaning was successfully received by its own kind. It was just that the tree spirits and the birds and beasts were not on the same wavelength.

After gradually figuring this out, Lezhi was both touched and amused. It turned out that the "chirping" sound of the fur ball was just a special channel that it had developed specifically to communicate with him.

Suddenly realizing a bit of the truth about the world, Lezhi felt that she could keep an observation diary to record her daily interactions with Maoqiu. If her people were to successfully tame birds and beasts in the future, it would be a valuable reference for them.
