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

Chapter 307 The Mother Tree's Reminder

Lei Xiu was more qualified to speak on this matter. Le Zhong turned to look at Lei Xiu and noticed that his eyes were full of contemplation, and he didn't seem to intend to speak immediately, knowing that he was thinking about that previous incident.

"Alright, let's talk as we walk." Although Lezhi can now protect himself, and with the two of them, the team's top combat strength is off the charts, staying here still doesn't feel as reassuring as being with the clansmen.

As soon as Le Zhong said this, Le Zhi and Lei Xiu immediately responded. The fluffy ball transformed into a large white bird in a flash. It took the chick from Le Zhi's arms. Originally, it wanted Le Zhi to climb onto its back as before, but Le Zhi refused.

"Good little fluffball, I can fly by myself. You just need to take care of the chicks for me." Since growing wings, Lezhi has never actually flown a long distance, so he wanted to take this opportunity to test his limits.

"Yes, maoqiu didn't argue, seeing that Lezhi had his own considerations."

The three people and two birds quickly followed the direction the main group had left in.

On the way, Le Zhong intermittently recounted to Le Zhi the tree spirits' understanding of the Endless Abyss over thousands of years.

"In other words, everyone knows that the Endless Abyss is the lair of those strange insects, but no one can do anything about them because the tree spirits cannot stay there for long."

“Yes, our most recent attempt only managed to break through to the vicinity of the rift. Even that was the result of a huge price to pay.” As he spoke, Le Zhong glanced at Lei Xiu, who was flying on the other side of Le Zhi, and did not continue.

Lezhi didn't miss Uncle Lezhong's look. He was a very perceptive person. Without needing to say much, Lezhi immediately noticed that Lei Xiu seemed unusually quiet on this topic.

Although he doesn't talk much usually, Lei Xiu has always been willing to answer any questions he has. But today, he's acting very strangely.

Recalling what Le Zhong had said, and seeing Lei Xiu's body covered in wounds from the attack by the shadowy figure when they first met, Le Zhi suddenly understood.

Yes, many people have mentioned to him that Lei Xiu was once at the top of the Treant Clan's fighting strength, and he also once served as the patriarch of the Thunder Clan.

If an insect swarm were to attack, regardless of reason or emotion, Lei Xiu would definitely be at the forefront, fighting on the front lines; his scars are proof of that.

It's obvious what kind of extreme situation would cause Lei Xiu to suffer such severe injuries. If it were just an insect, how powerful would it have to be? Le Zhi couldn't even imagine.

As far as he knew, the number of Treants had always grown at a rather slow rate, perhaps due to the limited reproductive capacity of the mother trees, or perhaps for some other reason. In any case, their numbers were far less than those of other creature races in Jormungand.

Even the number of bird and beast races is dozens of times greater than theirs, not to mention the insect race, which is known for its rapid reproduction.

The only good thing is that the tree spirits are naturally long-lived, and they have good physical qualities and strong talents. When facing the insect race, even the weakest tree spirit can fight against a hundred people as long as they are not afraid.

But the prerequisite is that they must clearly know they have this ability and learn how to use it.

All the courses and training programs for minors in all races are designed to help them recognize their own abilities. Before these courses existed, the older generation of the tree spirits learned directly in battle. Back then, they were all war gods, killing insects as if it were child's play, completely incomparable to these weak young people today.

These were things that Lezhi's instructors told them during training. Lezhi had also personally witnessed how the formal guards dealt with insects, cutting them down like vegetables. Not to mention fighting a hundred, almost every one of them could fight ten thousand or even a hundred thousand.

These are just ordinary guards of their Spirit Feather Clan. As for Lei Xiu, his top-tier combat strength speaks for itself. Le Zhi also believes that the Tree Spirit Clan is far from needing to compete for empty titles.

Therefore, it can only mean that at that time, Lei Xiu faced threats that came not only from the insects.

And what role does the shadowy figure play in all of this?

Endless Abyss, Endless Abyss. The Mother Tree couldn't possibly be unaware that the Tree Spirits already knew about the threat posed by the Endless Abyss, yet it still came to remind him at this crucial moment. That means that only he can resolve the crisis there!

Almost instantly, Lezhi understood everything. His rapidly flying figure paused, and he suddenly broke away from the center of the group.

Lei Xiu and Le Zhong reacted quickly, and Mao Qiu was not slow either. However, when they saw Le Zhi's serious expression, only Mao Qiu tilted its head in confusion, and then went up to Le Zhi to comfort him without knowing anything.

Lei Xiu and Le Zhong, who should have been with it, were unusually silent.

From their behavior, Lezhi knew that what he had just finally figured out, these two had already thought of long ago, but they had both chosen not to tell him.

Le Zhong closed his eyes helplessly, feeling the silent accusation in Le Zhi's eyes. He knew Le Zhi would eventually understand. Now, how was he going to persuade this stubborn little brat...?

Le Zhong was having a bit of a headache, which was why he was in such a hurry to set off. If they were already back in the clan, at least there would be others to share his worries. But now he was all alone, and he couldn't stop Le Zhi.

But if we just let Lezhi go like that, when he returns to the clan, the clan leader will skin him alive. If something happens to Lezhi, he won't be able to forgive himself, even if no one else blames him.

With his cheeks scrunched up, Le Zhong's expression was even more bitter and resentful than when Le Zhi had just met him. But Le Zhi did not let him go. Between Lei Xiu and Le Zhong, Le Zhong was obviously easier to win over. Le Zhi was determined to get Le Zhong's support.

At that point, the minority will submit to the majority, and Lei Xiu's opposition will be useless.

A silence fell over the group. After a brief tug-of-war, Le Zhong finally gave in, saying, "...The Endless Abyss is too dangerous; we need to think this through carefully."

"You know it's useless. If we could get in, after all those years and so many insect swarms, after they discovered there was something wrong with the Endless Abyss, I don't believe no one tried, and the result was still the same."

Without giving Le Zhong a chance to delay, Le Zhi went straight to the point, leaving no room for negotiation with her words.

What Lezhi said was all true, and it was all just what he had just told him. This was a real-life example of shooting oneself in the foot. However, Lezhong's intention was to give Lezhi a clear understanding of the dangers of the Endless Abyss. Who would have thought that Lezhi would be so stubborn, knowing the danger, yet still going without hesitation.

Well, now it's his turn to be put on the hot seat. Le Zhong said with a bitter face, "...But you're not an adult yet, and who knows what will happen if you go. Not just me, no one will agree to it."

“But there’s no one else here, Uncle Le Zhong. I don’t need your permission. Just don’t stop me. Besides, you might not be able to stop me anyway.”

As she spoke, Lezhi raised her hand, and several vines suddenly appeared out of thin air behind her, waving and swaying in front of Lezhong.

Wow, this is a threat! This is a blatant threat.

Rubbing his teeth, Le Zhong truly had no way to deal with Le Zhi. Le Zhi was right; he really couldn't stop him. Once fear arises, it doesn't easily dissipate.

A familiar pang of anxiety surged through him again. Le Zhong was already at a psychological disadvantage. He silently glanced at Lei Xiu beside him, hoping that he could persuade Le Zhi not to act impulsively. Although it was unlikely that Le Zhi could be persuaded, what if...?
