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

Chapter 256 Maoqiu's Worries

"Phew, I can finally speak normally again~" Le Ting took a deep breath. Although the morning air was cold, it was also enough to clear one's mind. Sure enough, in just a few breaths, Le Ting felt her body, which had been dormant all night, immediately come back to life.

Not wanting to wake the big bird, the three of them and the two birds moved with extreme care. After a while, they finally managed to get away. Not only did Leting feel relieved, but everyone else also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sigh, that big bird is just too big. No matter how many times I see it, I still feel a little uncomfortable. It's better to have a fluffy bird; it can shrink and doesn't put too much pressure on me," Leyou murmured, expressing his unease.

Although the transformed fluffball is no smaller than the Flourishing Bird, fortunately, it does not maintain that size for long. Most of the time, what appears before the Spirit Feather Clan is this seemingly harmless little fluffball. It is precisely because of this that the Spirit Feather Clan accepted the fluffball so quickly.

It's inevitable for people to feel fear when faced with creatures much larger than themselves; this is unavoidable and can only be gradually eliminated through long-term interaction.

"Tweet~"

The furball was very happy to be indirectly praised. It puffed out its little chest and gladly accepted Leyou's evaluation.

"Of course, Maoqiu is the best." As Maoqiu's partner, praising Maoqiu is like praising herself, so Lezhi is also very happy.

“That bird is really too big. If a conflict really breaks out, it doesn’t even need to do anything. Just flapping its wings would probably kill us all on the spot,” Leting chimed in, offering his opinion.

"So we still need to be careful in what we do. Although that big bird doesn't look like it will hurt us right now, what if it does?" Le You's expression turned serious for the first time, which made Le Zhi a little uncomfortable.

However, he knew that Leyou was doing this for safety reasons, so he didn't say anything, but just nodded solemnly to indicate that he had listened.

Seeing that Lezhi and Leting were both obedient, Leyou was quite satisfied.

“Okay, so what do we do next? Lezhi has cured all those birds yesterday. Lezhi said that these birds brought us here to ask for your help. Now that you’ve done your work, should we ask when we can leave, or... should we stay here for now and wait and see?”

Having just said to be cautious, Leyou hesitated about taking the initiative to leave, and changed his tune before he could finish speaking.

The three looked at each other, unable to reach an agreement for the time being.

Offering to leave voluntarily might anger the birds, which could be counterproductive.

But if we don't mention it, are we just going to stay here forever?

"Yesterday the chief said that the tribesmen are on their way to rescue us. In my opinion, we shouldn't be rash. Let's see what these birds do first. What if they let us go on their own?" Leting whispered the news. Before speaking, he looked around, a gesture that made Lezhi immediately realize that he was about to say something important.

As soon as the words left his mouth, it came true.

"Le Ting, you again..." Le Zhi swallowed the rest of his sentence, glancing at Le Ting's wrist with his eyes.

"Yeah, don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Le Ting nodded readily in agreement. Using the vine would consume a lot of energy, so it was normal for Le Zhi to be worried first. Le Ting felt comforted and reassured her.

She pursed her lips, knowing that she couldn't say much at this moment, and that Le Ting was doing this for their sake.

“I think Le Ting is right. There’s not much we can do for the time being, so we might as well just stay put. I think the important thing now is to find a place to cook breakfast. The chicks are old enough to eat.” Le You noticed that the chicks in Le Zhi’s arms had opened their eyes and immediately had an idea.

"You mean, we should still go to the brooding cave?" Suddenly connecting with Leyou's train of thought, Lezhi asked to confirm.

“You know me, you got it right. The big bird hasn’t woken up yet. Instead of being tied up here, we should go and stay with the chicks. It’s safer that way.”

“Okay, I agree.” Leting also agreed.

The three quickly reached an agreement. The furball never expressed any opinion. In its view, Lezhi and the others could stay wherever they wanted, and if anyone had any objections, it could violently suppress them.

However, Lezhi had no idea what Maoqiu was thinking. They still put themselves in the position of hostages, and with limited choices, they instinctively chose the chick that posed less of a threat to them.

Therefore, when Fanle Bird regained consciousness after its brief nap and found Lezhi and the others again, it saw them playing happily with the chicks.

The hooded birds were very welcoming to Lezhi and his group. Although they were not birds or beasts, they were naturally insensitive to emotions and did not sense any malice from these aliens. Most importantly, they could cook delicious food.

Feeding chicks is a huge undertaking. Chicks can't go hungry; they want to eat as soon as they open their eyes. Even raising just one chick is difficult, let alone raising dozens in a brooding burrow.

Fortunately, the hooded birds were experienced and friendly. Leyou and Leting were already considered acquaintances by them after only meeting for the second time, and they were treated with exceptional kindness.

In return for their kindness, to thank the hooded birds for accepting their visit, Lezhi prepared a sumptuous breakfast, once again winning over the stomachs of all the birds and beasts. As a result, these outsiders miraculously managed to break into the nesting cave.

The tarantula arrived late and missed breakfast; by the time it arrived, even the kitchen scraps had been cleaned up.

Looking at the large bird that had been standing blankly outside the cave for a long time, Lezhi felt a little uneasy. "Maoqiu, what's wrong with it? It's still asleep. Did it come here to wake up?"

"Chirp chirp~" Knowing full well that the guy was just trying to freeload a meal and had failed, so he was a little disappointed, the fluffy ball replied indifferently, telling Lezhi not to worry about it.

Fluttering its wings, the fluffy ball left Lezhi's shoulder and came to the bird of joy. The two, one big and one small, looked at each other.

What's wrong with you? Are you trying to play the victim?

I'm hungry, not faking it, and I'm not being pitiful.

[If you're hungry, go hunting. Don't think about freeloading. Don't forget our agreement. You're responsible for feeding Lezhi and the others. If you go back on your word, you won't get medical treatment.]

This threat was a fatal blow. The celestial bird could no longer maintain its pretense and its gaze swept into the cave. It saw that the birds were playing with their own chicks and the chicks in the brooding cave, looking very relaxed.

"Okay, I'll bring the food on time."

That's more like it. Remember, don't just feed them meat; they should also have some plant-based foods.

I'll try my best, but there aren't many plants available this season, so I can't guarantee anything.

Glancing sideways at the celestial bird, Maoqiu knew this wasn't an excuse, but a fact, so it didn't make things difficult for it.

Find as many as you can. By the way, when will the other patients arrive? Don't let it take too long.

[Soon, I arranged for the birds to go and fetch them yesterday night. What's the rush? The valley is safe, and there's no shortage of food.]

Who's talking to you about food...?

She gave him a disgruntled look, but Maoqiu wasn't embarrassed at all and went straight to expressing her concerns.

I'm worried that if you drag this out too long, that person will come looking for you, and then I won't be able to help you, since I can't beat him either.

That person? The one you mentioned...

Yes, that's the guy. I discovered Lezhi first, but he came after me. He's really good, though; Maoqiu can't beat him.

Speaking of this, the fluffy ball was a little dejected, but it remained honest and didn't try to lie. The world of birds and beasts is simple: the winner takes all. Lei Xiu did indeed win, so the fluffy ball accepted it.
