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

Chapter 71 Delicious Mushrooms

"Phew, Lezhi, look over there, so many mushrooms..."

It rained all night, and the next morning the sky was a clear blue after being washed by the rain, clearly indicating a good day. Leyou rushed to Lezhi's house before sunrise to invite him to join the mushroom-gathering team.

Lezhi readily agreed, and upon hearing that they could go out to play, Maoqiu was full of energy and went out with them. Leixiu, on the other hand, had been invited by a hunting team and would be going hunting today.

"Most of the hunting team members are reserve members of the guard team. They are responsible for most of the tribe's regular hunting work. If you want to join the guard team, you must first join the hunting team." This is what Leyou told Lezhi.

Nodding in understanding, Lezhi felt relieved to take Maoqiu out since Lei Xiu had made arrangements. This time, they followed Lejing's gathering team again, flying in formation to their destination as Lejing had always done, before dividing into groups to collect the materials.

The mushrooms after the rain were plentiful, requiring almost no searching, and everyone was eager to start collecting. Le Jing repeatedly emphasized safety, reminding them that although there were many of them, once they entered the forest, they were like water droplets flowing into the ocean. With Le Jing's reminders, the groups split up and entered the edge of the Yunmeng Forest to begin collecting.

After the rain, almost all the gathering and hunting teams of the tribe went out, so Lezhi and his group easily found familiar faces, namely Leju and Lenian, as well as a relatively unfamiliar Leting, who was also a member of the tribe in his late teens. He didn't talk much, but he was quite easy to get along with.

Thanks to their innate talent, the tree spirits have never accidentally eaten a poisonous mushroom. Even a novice like Lezhi can easily find all sorts of strangely shaped mushrooms, and can even be said to have a very fruitful harvest.

After treating Lei Xiu last time, Le Zhi's talent didn't increase much. Le Zhi himself was puzzled by this, as he couldn't understand how his talent had leveled up.

Previously, it was just a small shadow in the cave that could activate his talent. Le Zhong's Shadow Disease was not as severe as Lei Xiu's, and Le Zhi cured Le Zhong, allowing his talent to level up.

However, when it came to Lei Xiu, Le Zhi could only vaguely feel that his physique had improved and that his wood-type talent could store more energy. There were no other changes, and even his spatial ability had not increased.

This was a very strange thing. Lezhi was troubled for a long time and decided to take some time to talk to Lechu about it. Now he didn't know whose advice was more reliable, so he could only go to Lechu.

"Lezhi, why aren't you moving? Is something wrong?" Leyou waved her hand in front of Lezhi's eyes, and Lezhi heard Leyou's concerned words.

Suddenly snapping out of her reverie, Lezhi quickly replied, "Ah, no, I just suddenly thought of something. It's alright now, let's continue."

"Okay... Oh, let's go over there. The lichens are more abundant there, maybe we can find some delicious mushrooms. Delicious mushrooms are super tasty, come on!"

"okay……"

"Come on, you can look for white mushrooms in the grass too."

Led by Leyou, Lezhi lowered his head and searched carefully, just like Leyou. After the rain, not only mushrooms were growing like crazy, but lichens were also sprouting up quite quickly.

Finding mushrooms in a dense thicket of lichen is no easy task, but although Lezhi lacks experience, he has a cheat code. His little black bean eyes, adorned with fluffy fur, have been shining brightly ever since Leyou mentioned delicious mushrooms.

Clearly understanding what Lezhi was doing, the fluffy ball perched on Lezhi's shoulder, its dark eyes darting around. Its field of vision was much wider than that of the tree spirits, making its search highly efficient. While Lezhi was still wandering aimlessly, the fluffy ball had already locked onto a potential target.

"Tweet~"

Little Paw stepped on Lezhi's shoulder twice. Seeing that Lezhi noticed its actions, Fur Ball pointed Lezhi in the right direction with one of its wings.

Following the direction pointed by the fluffy ball's wings, Lezhi indeed spotted a faint white dot amidst the lush green lichen. Excitedly, she stepped forward and parted the plants obscuring her view, revealing clusters of round, milky-white mushrooms before her eyes.

Lezhi picked a mushroom. Although he didn't know if it was the delicious mushroom Leyou had mentioned, his talent information told him that the mushroom was non-toxic and edible, which was enough.

After picking all the mushrooms in front of them, Lezhi's gathering work gradually improved with Maoqiu's help. They collected several baskets of delicious mushrooms. Lezhi and Maoqiu confirmed that there were no more mushrooms to be found nearby, so they stopped and prepared to go find Leyou.

From afar, Lezhi saw Leyou squatting in the bushes. His posture didn't look like he was concentrating on collecting things. A look of doubt crossed Lezhi's eyes, and she was about to call out to him.

"Le...uh...hmm?"

"Shh~" It turned out that Leju covered Lezhi's mouth and whispered the current situation in Lezhi's ear, "Don't make a sound, come with me quietly."

With his mouth covered, Lezhi nodded quickly and hugged the slightly ruffled furball in his arms. Seeing the seriousness in Leju's eyes, he covered the furball's sharp beak to show that he understood the gravity of the situation.

Leju brought Lezhi to a spot not far from where Leyou was lying in wait and settled down. Through the gaps in the dense foliage, Lezhi saw the source of why Leju was so serious.

In the forest at that moment, a bird was confronting a swarm of insects. The bird was very beautiful, its upper body emerald green, transitioning to its lower body, with a beautiful blackish-blue tail. The crest on its head was now standing tall, as if it were wearing a crown.

The bird-beast, its brown eyes surrounded by red rings, stared intently at the insects before it. Surrounded by five or six insects with hard shells, it showed no sign of backing down, but instead pressed closer, its eyes gleaming with the cold light characteristic of a predator.

Judging from its aura alone, Lezhi concluded that although it was fighting against many, the bird and beast were clearly not afraid. On the contrary, it seemed confident, probably because it was confident in its own fighting ability.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend. As a tree spirit, they naturally side with the birds and beasts. The tribesmen put down their gathering and waited here, probably not only to observe a major battle, but also to be prepared to help the birds and beasts if necessary.

It's unclear whether this bird-beast noticed the onlookers surrounding its designated battlefield; its entire focus is now on the insects before it. The insects have been communicating with each other for quite some time, waving their antennae, while the bird-beast has nearly finished gathering its strength.

The battle was about to break out. Their speed was incredible. Lezhi didn't even see how the birds and beasts moved. In the blink of an eye, a worm's head had appeared on the bird's long, pointed beak.

This single strike separated the head and body of an insect. Under Lezhi's astonished gaze, the insects' mouthparts made a "clattering" sound, and they no longer fought alone, but instead swarmed towards the birds and beasts.

The besieged bird was not afraid. It swallowed the insect head in its mouth, its eyes flashing with a sharp light. It flapped its wings and lifted its body off the ground, easily avoiding the insect's first wave of attacks. It also managed to peck off another insect head in the meantime.

The insects didn't care about the sacrifice of their companions; they had no other choice but to continue their attack. However, the disparity in strength was too great. The birds and beasts, with their playful movements, had already inflicted heavy losses on the insects, leaving them unable to mount a resistance.
