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

Chapter 285 Battle Form

"咴咴～"

The harmonious family time did not last long before it was broken by the chirping of the birds.

The celestial bird rarely sings, and even when it does, Lezhi has only ever heard its short, aloof, monotone calls. When he suddenly heard such an anxious and frightened cry, he initially thought he had misheard.

But the next second, he knew why the bird of joy made that kind of call.

Not only the birds of joy, but also the flocks of birds and beasts that had been disciplined by Lezhi and had become much more docile have become restless again due to the current changes.

This time, even Leshan, which had been forging ahead without hesitation, had to stop.

The worst is yet to come.

Ahead, dense clouds pressed almost to their faces, and lightning no longer appeared randomly, but struck one after another, forming a massive electric grid that blocked their path.

Moreover, the power grid was expanding, and the terrifying scene before them, coupled with the continuous rumbling thunder in the clouds, made everyone feel that they were doomed.

"Captain, what should we do?"

At this point, it's no longer a matter that can be solved by brute force.

"I'll take over, Captain Leshan. I'll lead the way. You all follow behind me and wait for my signal. Don't hesitate, just go straight across."

"Lei Xiu..." "Lei Xiu, you've come!"

"But, can you manage alone? Won't it be too much for you...?"

Dealing with lightning is a specialty of the Thunder Clan, but this is no ordinary lightning. Le Zhong hesitated, feeling that it was a bit too much for them to put all the pressure on Lei Xiu alone, so he wanted to volunteer to help.

Sensing Le Zhong's intention, Lei Xiu raised his hand to stop Le Zhong from finishing his sentence, "With lightning of this level, you're just courting death." Even if the tree spirits have a high tolerance for lightning, they can't do this. If Le Zhong really goes up, he'll be half dead, if not killed, and that's assuming he can drink the sap from the mother tree in time.

So Lei Xiu didn't give him a chance to say it at all.

“But…” Le Zhong’s brows furrowed into a deep frown as he was still worried about Lei Xiu. Perhaps it was because Lei Xiu was always with Le Zhi that Le Zhong sometimes had the wrong impression and always regarded Lei Xiu as a junior like Le Zhi.

Even though he knew that Lei Xiu had become famous much earlier than him, and that when Lei Xiu dominated Jormungandr, he was nothing, he was still very worried.

Unlike Le Zhong, Le Shan's qualities as a qualified commander become apparent in such situations: decisiveness and efficiency. He carries the safety of the entire team on his shoulders, setting aside personal feelings and choosing the decision that is most beneficial to the team.

Pressing down on Le Zhong's shoulder, Le Shan nodded to Lei Xiu, "I'm counting on you. Once we get the team to safety, if you still can't escape, we'll come back to rescue you immediately."

By then, even if Lei Xiu wanted to refuse, it would be useless, and they would have even less to worry about.

"Don't worry. I won't give you that chance."

An arrogant glint flashed in his eyes as Lei Xiu, the War God, materialized. His disdainful gaze transported Le Shan back to the era when Lei Xiu crushed everyone and displayed unparalleled talent.

At the very back of the line, Lezhi looked worried but helpless.

Lei Xiu didn't say much before leaving, as if there was nothing he needed to say. Just the simple phrase, "Trust me, I'm going," was enough to convey a thousand words.

Lezhi naturally believed Lei Xiu.

However, the unease that had been lingering in her heart was genuine. Before Lei Xiu left, Le Zhi hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't stop him from going forward. How could she stop him?

His gaze swept over the countless birds, beasts, and tribesmen before him. He saw birds that were either familiar or unfamiliar, the chicks that were being carefully protected on the backs of the hooded birds, Hongyan and Danhuang that seemed particularly reliable as they carried Leyou and Leting on their backs, and the tribesmen who, despite their fear, still had resolute expressions.

Faced with this great calamity, no one thought about escaping unscathed; everyone just wanted to survive.

Lezhi's gaze swept past Lei Xiu and the others who were still talking to Leshan at the front, and as he moved forward rapidly, he locked onto the cloud layer that had set up the terrifying electric net.

Dark clouds and purple lightning swirled in Lezhi's pure white eyes. Through the thick clouds, Lezhi could see the sun obscured, and behind it, the faint outline of the moon could be seen.

How could the moon appear so quickly, even before sunset?

Could it still be due to the influence of void resonance?

Blue moon appears, blue moon...

With a moment of hesitation, Lezhi finally saw the color of the moon through the dazzling light. The shimmering blue light was not obvious, but it could still be seen upon closer inspection.

The blue moon appeared, and the insect swarm rose. Just as Lei Xiu said, the blue moon had already shown signs of life. So what about the insect swarm?

Lezhi's sneaking around at the back of the group to explore the heavens went unnoticed; everyone's attention was now focused on the electric grid in front of them.

As time ticked by, the electric grid had completely blocked their path and was even beginning to encircle them. If they didn't find a way to break through, they and the birds would surely be roasted alive by the electric grid.

If that's the case, their ultimate fate will probably be to become food supplies for the insects fleeing for their lives.

"Le, Leyou, I've never heard the seniors mention this before. Do you think we might not actually suit the insects' tastes?" Le Ting's mouth tasted bitter. The electric grid had been too much of a shock to him. With his limited knowledge, he could only think of the worst possible outcome.

"They're starving, they'll eat anything. Don't get your hopes up. If you don't want to be eaten by bugs, do everything you can to survive." Le You didn't answer. Although he usually seemed carefree, he was still a minor and this was the first time he had encountered such a life-or-death situation. It was normal that he couldn't react immediately.

So the one who answered Leting was Le Man, who was closest to them.

Unlike those two delicate flower buds in a greenhouse, he, as a vital force of the younger generation of the guard, has faced enough battles, though not as many as the former, to allow him to maintain a calm mindset in any situation.

The worst outcome is simply returning to the embrace of the mother tree, the most glorious destiny for their tree spirit race, a privilege not afforded to other races.

So take life and death lightly, just get it done.

Le Man wasn't the only one with this thought. Le Ting, who had been rebuked, pouted in dissatisfaction and wanted to find Le Yun to reason with her. Surprisingly, she discovered that Le Yun, who usually seemed calm and collected, had the same kind of light in her eyes as Le Man.

Three parts courage, three parts fighting spirit, two parts calmness, and a little bit hidden in his eyes, though not obvious, but enough to make Le Ting's heart tremble with madness.

All around them, the tribespeople who usually joked and laughed with them all had the same expression.

Only then did Leting realize that the more perilous the situation became, the quieter the sounds around him grew. They had all concealed their softer selves, and before he knew it, they had all donned layers of armor, their auras cold and sharp, faintly carrying a hint of bloodlust.

Unlike Leting's dullness, the birds and beasts were much more perceptive. After realizing that these alien races were becoming increasingly intimidating, those who were argumentative, restless, and naturally lively all chose to shut up and remain quiet. They felt that if they didn't, these people around them would definitely do something that the birds would regret.

It must be said that being pragmatic is the most important factor in survival; birds are indeed good at reading the room.
