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

Chapter 500 The Caravan Arrives

Seeing that Lei Xiu was only one step away from the truth, Le Zhi closed her eyes and said, "Whether it is true or not, I have made up my mind."

"Lezhi, can you stop being so stubborn? You just said that silent sacrifices are unnecessary and that we should all face it together. What are you doing now?" Lei Xiu said angrily.

Seeing that Lezhi chose to turn away from his questioning, Lei Xiu could no longer bear it. He raised his hand and grabbed Lezhi's shoulder, forcing him to stay put. His tone was not harsh, and his pleading posture indicated that he was in a subordinate position in this conversation, "Say something..."

"What did you say?" The grip on his shoulder was heavy, making him ache. Le Zhi endured the pain without crying out, not wanting to show weakness in front of Lei Xiu. "Don't think that what you've guessed is the truth. You don't know anything. Let go of me."

Their gazes slowly met, and the edges of their pure white pupils turned blood red.

Le Zhi knew that when he stared intently at someone, it always put immense pressure on that person, and Lei Xiu was indeed terrified, but he did not let go as he had said.

"I don't know..." Lei Xiu's grip remained firm, but his tone grew softer, as if pleading, "Then tell me everything, Zhizhi. You don't have to face this alone, you still have me..."

Both of them recalled the less-than-pleasant confession from last time. Lei Xiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the man who was as hard as iron looked pitiful at this moment.

"Or is it that I'm not special in your eyes, and that I haven't done enough, is that it?"

Lezhi thought that was true, and that he had always assumed it was true before Lei Xiu asked.

But now, looking into those eyes that shimmered with purple light, Lezhi couldn't bring himself to say it. He asked himself the question, but he couldn't give a truthful answer.

Lei Xiu is special; Le Zhi can't deceive himself, so how could he deceive him?

The wind played with the vines and vines, swirling up a layer of petals that swayed in the air. Seeing that Lezhi and Leixiu were standing at the door without moving for a long time, the wind playfully carried the petals around them.

What should have been a beautiful scene was instead blown away by the wind, dispelling the enchanting feeling that lingered in Lezhi's heart.

Just then, a fiery red figure shot in from afar, accompanied by a familiar call, approaching from a distance.

"Rakuchi... Rakuchi Rakuchi Rakuchi..."

It's Leyou and Hongyan.

Upon hearing Le You's voice, the two's locked gazes instantly broke apart. Le Zhi raised her hand and pulled down Lei Xiu's hand, which was still on her shoulder, and took a small step back.

He still didn't answer Lei Xiu's question.

In Lei Xiu's view, this was tacit consent, so when Le Zhi broke free, he did not linger.

"Lezhi, someone told me they saw you come back. They went to your house but didn't see you, so I guessed you must have come to see the clan leader first. I was right. I know you best." As soon as Leyou got closer, he started chattering away.

Leyou paused in his steps after leaping off Hongyan and seeing Leixiu, who stood stiff as a statue, and Lezhi, whose eyes were slightly red.

I immediately thought of the sensations I had received earlier regarding the mother tree.

"You... rushed back because of that?" Leyou clutched her chest, recalling the feeling of being enveloped in immense panic, and suddenly felt a little short of breath. Because of that, everyone in the clan had been listless lately.

He and Leju lost interest in opening a shop. If it weren't for the fact that the clansmen said Lezhi had returned, Leyou would probably have gathered in the square with the clansmen like most people, with only a few choosing to stay alone.

"What on earth happened? How could it suddenly become like this? The mother tree... Could something really have happened to it?"

Leyou didn't expect Lezhi to answer; he just wanted some comfort from his friend. Lezhi immediately noticed, and just like Leyou would sometimes do to him before, he raised his hand and helped Leyou tidy up the messy hair behind his ear.

"Don't worry, we're all together, nothing will happen."

Seeing Leyou, he became even more convinced that he had made the right choice.

…………

"Lezhi, are you really determined to leave now?"

After returning home and resting for a day, Le Chu spread the news of Le Zhi's return throughout the mainland.

The tree spirits, initially reeling from the crisis warnings, rallied upon learning what had transpired. Knowing what they were about to face, even against a seemingly insurmountable enemy, was far better than being left in the dark.

All ethnic groups began to take action and prepare for war at the highest level.

At the same time, Lezhi decided not to wait any longer and set off to find the mother tree as soon as possible, but before that, he had to do something.

"Yes, there's no time to lose. Clan leader, don't forget what I told you." Lezhi hadn't forgotten that Snow had said just two days ago that he was going to set off to pick up the goods from him. Calculating the time, he should have just set off when the Mother Tree issued the notice.

Last night he tried to contact Snow, and it was indeed the case. He was still struggling with whether to return to his tribe or go through with the original plan to find people, but after receiving Lezhi's message, Snow no longer needed to struggle with it, because Lezhi had given him a very important task.

For this reason, he even had Wind Sweep speed up their journey. If nothing unexpected happens, Snow will be able to reach the Spirit Feather Clan today.

But Lezhi couldn't wait for him. His premonition grew stronger and stronger. Lezhi understood that it was a warning before the final crisis. There was no time left. Before that, he had to find the mother tree.

So he had no choice but to entrust the items to Lechu.

Le Chu valued the items he received. Le Zhi had already demonstrated the Illusionary Sound Vine to him, and it was much more convenient than the Vine they were currently using. The number Le Zhi left behind was enough for each member of the Spirit Feather Clan to have one, and some could also be distributed to other clans.

"Don't worry, I remember the Illusionary Sound Vine and the Mushroom Sub-Mother. Even if I forget, no one else will."

The things Lezhi left behind were wartime supplies. Knowing that their enemy was an extraterrestrial shadow, the importance of the Mushroom Mother was self-evident.

Since she couldn't sleep anyway, Lezhi simply dragged Mushroom to spawn a bunch of them last night. Although the number was still insufficient for the entire continent, it was enough to equip the Tree Spirits.

This is why he needs Snow; these things need to be delivered to the various tribes by a reliable person, and Snow is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You guys go back."

The next thing he should do is go alone, and what will happen in the end is something even Lezhi himself cannot predict.

His gaze swept around, and every face was familiar. These were the people who had given him a sense of home since he arrived here!

"Lezhi, if it really comes to it, take me with you. With Hongyan here, I won't hold you back." Lezhi had only been back for less than a day before he was leaving again, and his friends hadn't even had a chance to chat with him much.

And he didn’t know if it was just his imagination, but Leyou felt that Lezhi’s farewell was particularly heavy, as if it were the last time. He couldn’t quite put his finger on it, but his heart was pounding.

“Then I want to go too. I’m even better than Leyou, and I’ve already gotten along very well with my bird and beast companions…” Le Nian was not to be outdone. He was one of the unlucky ones who didn’t have a chance to talk to Lezhi. During the time Lezhi was away, he had successfully entered adolescence and become a member of the hunting team.

After acquiring bird and beast companions, the clan's guard team was reorganized into a new team specifically to recruit clansmen with bird and beast companions. However, they needed to pass an assessment. Almost everyone in the Spirit Feather Clan was busy trying to join the new team, and Le Nian was the most eye-catching new star among them.

Seeing that his friends were all volunteering, Le Ting, who was initially a little embarrassed, secretly poked his head out and said, "Me too..." He had an egg yolk, so he was no worse than the others.

"Alright, you're all either underage or just greenhorns. What are you going to do? Did you pass the test?" Le Zhong started by criticizing them, then changed the subject, "They definitely won't make it. The others also need to prepare. How about I go with you?"
