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

Chapter 309 Combat Partners

Once these affected plants go berserk for the first time, they will be affected every time Blue Moon occurs afterward, so they need to be dealt with as soon as possible. Whether to completely destroy them or simply capture them and make them into contract plants depends on the situation.

Le Zhong was traveling at breakneck speed when he arrived at the battlefield, where a fierce battle was raging.

The insects attacked wave after wave without any discernible pattern. For now, they could only passively resist. Once they eliminated the main force of the insect swarm, it would be their turn to take the initiative.

Along the way, Le Zhong was not idle. From the direction and number of the insects, he could roughly judge the scale of the upcoming insect swarm.

The clan's territory was not far away. A distance away, a giant net woven from vines spread out menacingly, but unlike the giant blood vines that had passed by before, which went crazy without thinking, every movement of the giant net was purposeful, completely surrounding the swarming insects. Clearly, they were contracted plants controlled and nurtured by the warriors.

In a single glance, the giant net pinned hundreds of insects firmly to the ground. The more the insects struggled, the tighter the net entangled them, until the insects completely lost their strength.

That wasn't all. The soldiers in charge of the attack exerted their strength again, and a "whoosh whoosh" sound came from the ground. Something broke through the ground, which was terrifying to hear. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be clusters of earthworms. The tips of the earthworms were sharp, and their outer shells were tightly wrapped by layers of skin. With the support of their growth power, they could almost indiscriminately pierce through any creature that stood in their way from bottom to top. The insects were no exception.

So, those insects that were just struggling and dreaming of escaping became obstacles that the groundworms had moved aside, and also provided the groundworms with some of the energy they needed to grow.

"Sigh, how can this not be considered making use of waste..." The warrior in charge of manipulating the earthworms and vines was full of pride. On the battlefield, these insects were spoils of war. The recent insect swarm had provided the tribe with enough food, and now it was time for his precious plants to have a feast.

By eating these insects, his vines and ground worms can store more energy to prepare for the next upgrade.

Having suffered such a deadly attack, the attacking insects had almost no chance of escape and gradually lost their lives. Their bodies were pierced by the roots of vines and earthworms, and even the shells and internal organs that the tree spirits didn't want were taken care of by the plants, which provided them with excellent nutrients.

Between the seemingly more aggressive insect and the seemingly harmless plant, who can say for sure which is the hunter and which is the prey?

Just as the warrior stood aside reaping his victory, he was silently surrounded by a swarm of insects behind him.

Insects' wings are generally thin and small, which means they are destined not to fly higher into the sky, but at the same time, it also allows them to fly silently.

That's why they were able to surround the warriors without being noticed.

The surrounded soldier was unaware of the danger coming from behind; his attention was focused on the ground in front of him.

Seeing the insect about to launch a surprise attack, Le Zhong, who had witnessed the whole process, was so anxious that he kept slapping his thigh. He only regretted that he was too far away. Even with the help of the wind, he could not reach the soldier's side immediately to save him.

"Watch out behind you..." Le Zhong shouted as loudly as he could, hoping to warn the soldiers.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly, "Damn it! The team clearly has rules that split-team operations must be done in pairs. Why didn't that soldier follow the rules? Is the tribe's fighting strength really that strained now?"

Amidst tension and bewilderment, in those few short seconds, Le Zhong even devised how to use this incident to set an example for his team. But the prerequisite was that the protagonist of this example had to be rescued first.

Le Zhong's shout had an effect. Anyone who goes to the battlefield is very sensitive to the word "be careful." The moment the soldiers heard the sound, their bodies moved instinctively.

But it was too late. The insect's attack was imminent. Even though the warrior immediately turned around and drew his weapon to block it, he could not stop the long claws that rushed in front of him from falling.

"It's over. He's careless, and this might make him the first person in the Spirit Feather Clan to be disfigured." The warrior wailed inwardly, but to his surprise, the attack didn't come as he expected.

At the critical moment, the insect, whose compound eyes emitted an eerie blue light, was suddenly swatted away by a wing from its predator overhead, and a rare look of astonishment appeared in its inorganic eyes.

Its other companions were no match for the "human's" strength. They were pecked by sharp beaks, scratched by claws, and their wings came at the right time. Before the warrior could recover from the fear of being attacked, all the insects that had ambushed him had been dealt with.

"Phew, finally appeared! Hahaha, I knew you hadn't made a move yet, so you were waiting here! Thanks, you're so cool~"

"Gurgle~~"

Seemingly realizing the soldier was praising it, the bird, which had just saved his life, flapped its wings, its emerald feathers reflecting a mysterious hue in the light. The beautiful bird responded happily, then immediately looked behind the soldier.

Noticing the bird's unusual expression, the soldier immediately turned around to be on guard. "What's wrong? There's... my mother tree behind me! What's that?"

Le Zhong rushed forward at such a speed that the warriors didn't recognize his face at first, only vaguely recognizing him as a member of their tribe, and were completely startled.

But after the initial shock came relief. He had thought it was just another insect attack, but it turned out to be his own people, so he was relieved.

They were already very close to the tribe's territory. After the whirlwind delivered Le Zhong right in front of the warrior, it vanished as if it had completed its mission, leaving only a serious-looking Le Zhong and an innocent warrior staring at each other.

Uh, he takes back what he just said; something big was clearly about to happen.

Good heavens, of all people, it had to be Captain Le Zhong, who loves to lecture others, who came today. He's doomed.

When the soldier saw that the person in front of him was Le Zhong, his face turned pale instantly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and his hand gripping the long sword trembled slightly. The soldier clenched his fist.

His long sword was specially ordered from Le Zhong after a lot of trouble.

"Captain Le Zhong, you've just gotten back!" the soldier greeted him.

Seeing that Le Zhong's expression wasn't good, he recalled the reminder from earlier and guessed that it must have been Le Zhong who called out, "Thank you for the reminder earlier..."

Le Zhong nodded, his probing gaze shifting from the birds and beasts behind the warrior to the warrior in front of him. "A combat team should consist of at least two people. What just happened? Was the insect swarm very large?" Even birds and beasts were brought in to help.

He wasn't blind; this bird had clearly been waiting for the right moment to rescue people. If he wasn't mistaken, this bird was the soldier's partner.

As expected, the soldier's answer confirmed Lezhi's guess.

"Ah, right, the Zerg attacks have been frequent lately, and this time it's on a larger scale than in previous years. Everyone who can participate has been deployed. Hopefully, things will calm down for a while after we wipe out this wave. Xiao Cai is my partner; the captain asked us to volunteer to team up."

"The birds are willing too?"

"Of course they're willing! They're all very cooperative when their leader gives the order!"

"Chief, that joyful bird? Then it's not surprising." Having gotten the answer he wanted, Le Zhong had no intention of lingering here. After giving instructions to the soldiers, he immediately flew towards the command post that the soldiers had pointed out to him.
