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

Chapter 91 The crisis is coming

Leshan was very familiar with the journey from the Spirit Feather Clan to the Windwalker Clan. Before setting off, he had already planned the route and thought of the resting places each time. Under his leadership, the team successfully arrived at a cave before dark, where they would spend the night.

Only after the advance team confirmed that there was no danger in the surrounding area was Lezhi allowed to get off Maoqiu's back. Lezhi had seen the forest at night before. He might have been scared when he was alone before, but now that there were so many of them, Lezhi finally felt curious about exploring the forest.

"Lei Xiu, can I go with Le You and the others to look around later?"

After hesitating for a while, Lezhi finally couldn't help but speak to Lei Xiu. Before leaving this time, Lechu had specifically instructed Lezhi to listen to Lei Xiu and Leshan on the road and not to act on his own. He knew that if something happened to a wingless cub like him, he wouldn't be able to run fast, so it was naturally more nerve-wracking.

However, despite his nervousness, Lei Xiu didn't want to restrict Le Zhi's activities too much since Le Zhi rarely went out. He thought that some exercise was still possible.

"Okay, bring Maoqiu along. I'll go with you guys in a bit."

Hearing that Lei Xiu had agreed to her request so readily, Le Zhi smiled with delight, hugged the resting furball in her arms, and nodded quickly in agreement.

"Great, then I'll go find Leyou."

Leyou was discussing what to do next with her team when she saw Lezhi coming and quickly waved to her.

"Rakuchi, you guys are so slow here."

"Oh dear, it's because the cargo on Maoqiu's back needs to be unloaded, which is why we were a little late." With an apologetic smile, Lezhi raised the arm she was holding Maoqiu. "By the way, Maoqiu can transform and follow me now, and Leixiu said he could come with me to collect things later, so I came to see what your plans are."

Blinking in surprise, Le You understood what Le Zhi meant. He looked up at Lei Xiu, who was following closely behind Le Zhi, and saw that he did not object to Le Zhi's words, so he knew that what Le Zhi said was true.

Now that the regulators of Lezhi have spoken, Leyou naturally welcomes Lezhi's participation with open arms.

"Alright, I was just about to say that. Let's set off before it gets completely dark. Since visibility isn't great at night, those of us going to collect the materials will stay together and not split up. Those who don't want to go can stay here and start a fire to prepare. How does that sound?"

Thanks to Leyou's good relationships, no one objected to this arrangement. While respecting their personal wishes, they quickly split into two groups: one led by Leyou to collect supplies, and the other to stay behind and start a fire.

After getting ready, they chose a direction that no one else in their tribe had chosen yet and set off immediately. Perhaps because he was used to queuing, Lezhi was still surrounded in the middle and back of the line, with Lei Xiu, who was always by his side, behind him.

The forest was much more lively than Lezhi had imagined at dusk. The chirping of insects and birds in the distance added a lot of life to the forest. With each breath, the forest seemed to come alive.

Lezhi didn't know if he was the only one who felt this way, or if all the tree spirits felt the same way. After calming down, he always felt that the plants around him were watching him. The attention wasn't annoying, but rather a curious scrutiny, just as Lezhi was also looking at them with the same curiosity.

This feeling would be normal if the other party were a living, breathing creature. But when the other party is a plant that cannot move on its own, it becomes truly terrifying.

The tree spirits' wood-type innate energy manifests in all aspects of their affinity with plants, so Lezhi wasn't sure if her behavior was normal. Now wasn't a good time to ask about such things, so Lezhi could only try to ignore the discomfort of being spied on and forced herself to remain calm as she walked through the forest.

In late summer and early autumn, the forest is teeming with edible plants, so much so that they can choose their favorite varieties. Therefore, if they don't find any food to gather, they'll pause, allowing those who are interested to go and pick, while the others keep watch.

"Phew, alright, let's keep going." After picking the berries they had just stumbled upon, Leyou looked around, chose a direction, gestured to the others, and then took the lead.

"Wait..." Lei Xiu, who was the first to notice something was wrong, suddenly stopped Le You in his tracks. The sharpness in his voice immediately stunned everyone, and the scene fell silent for a moment.

A gentle breeze rustled through the trees, carrying their whispers. Le You, whose steps had been halted, pressed her trembling heart and turned to look at Lei Xiu with a questioning gaze.

Lei Xiu didn't have time to pay attention to Le You's emotions. He reached out and pulled Le Zhi to his side, scanning the surroundings. Although he couldn't determine the exact direction of the danger for the time being, he decisively raised his hand to signal.

Everyone who was able to go out was given some simple hand gestures in advance. The tree spirits had common hand gestures, and Lei Xiu used a hand gesture that almost everyone recognized, which meant that everyone was asked to quietly gather around him.

Without needing many words, in this world threatened by the Zerg, everyone understood the urgency of the situation. No one held back; upon receiving Lei Xiu's instructions, everyone immediately and quickly gathered behind him, back to back, as he requested.

As a cub, Lezhi was instinctively protected in the center by everyone.

They had only just reunited when a strange aura filled the air. There were all sorts of strange insects here, some moving silently, their movements only becoming noticeable when they launched an attack.

Some of them have their own horn of action. They usually act in groups and are not afraid that their prey will notice their movements. Instead, they use this method to put psychological pressure on their prey in advance.

This time, before they even saw any insects around, they heard a strange sound that sounded like insects' mouthparts clashing. It started as a very faint sound, but it already made the air tense.

The sound grew increasingly intense over time, foreshadowing the imminent arrival of a large Zerg army.

As the team's strongest fighter, Lei Xiu, who naturally took over command, showed no signs of panic except for his eyes becoming even colder. His tall figure standing at the front of the team provided great support to the panicked crowd behind him.

His eyes continued to scan the area, and he also activated all five senses to quickly assess the current situation.

Their team consisted of inexperienced young people who had not yet undergone formal training within their tribe, so none of them had faced this situation before. In the past, when they went out with the main force, they rarely encountered large-scale attacks from the Zerg, and sporadic attacks were quickly dealt with by the young members of their tribe leading the team.

Suddenly placed in such a situation, everyone was at a loss. Seeing Lei Xiu standing there silently, Le You swallowed hard and exchanged glances with his teammates.

Everyone's eyes betrayed their barely concealed panic, including Lezhi, who was holding the fur ball. At that moment, the fur ball in his arms had the same sharp look in Lei Xiu's eyes.

If Lei Xiu hadn't been there today, Mao Qiu would be standing at the forefront, ready to fight, just like when Le Zhi was in danger before. But with Lei Xiu there today, Mao Qiu instantly realized that its best position was to stay here and protect Le Zhi, without causing trouble for Lei Xiu.
