Chapter 308 Yue Zhong, the One Who Was Dominated
Unfortunately, Le Zhong's hopes were destined to be dashed.
Lei Xiu, who had always kept silent, after a long period of contemplation, witnessed Le Zhong's final act of betrayal. His first words were a betrayal: "I'll go with you."
“Lei Xiu, you…”
Ignoring Le Zhong's disappointed shouts, Lei Xiu flapped his black wings and steadily arrived in front of Le Zhi. He glanced at Le Zhi's hand, which was unconsciously placed beside Mao Qiu's ear, and then turned his gaze back.
His pure white eyes met hers, and Lei Xiu did not avoid Le Zhi's gaze. He spoke again, "Endless Abyss, I'll go with you."
It's not a request, nor is it a question; it's a notification.
In contrast to Lei Xiu's insistence was Le Zhi's hesitation. According to Le Zhi's thinking, he had already decided from the beginning to venture into the Endless Abyss alone. If his previous guess was correct, only he could remain unaffected. Even if others forced themselves to follow, they probably wouldn't be of much help and would only distract Le Zhi.
However, Lei Xiu's attitude now clearly shows that he has made a decision. Understanding is mutual, and Le Zhi also knows that since Lei Xiu was able to say those words, he must have thought them through carefully.
After lowering her eyelids and thinking for a moment, Lezhi looked up again, her eyes now full of determination. "Okay, but you have to promise not to force yourself."
In fact, as long as he doesn't confront the shadowy figure, Lei Xiu's combat strength is beyond doubt. Moreover, judging from the current situation, if Le Zhi said he wanted to venture into the Endless Abyss alone, Le Zhong would probably be furious.
"You two, I'm still here, don't ignore me, okay?" Le Zhong's helpless voice came. He didn't say anything, and Le Zhi and Lei Xiu almost ignored the fact that he was there too.
"You'll be gone soon." Having made up her mind, Lezhi didn't want to continue the discussion, and her eyes were filled with apology as she looked at Lezhong.
Noticing something amiss in Yue Zhi's eyes, Yue Zhong immediately became alert. "What do you mean by that? What are you going to do?"
Before Le Zhong could get into a fighting stance, Le Zhi, who had the upper hand, raised his hand and created a whirlwind. An invisible wind suddenly rose up and surrounded Le Zhong. It did not harm him in the slightest, but it also prevented him from moving freely.
In this way, Le Zhong had no way to stop him!
Lezhi, who had previously controlled storms, now merely stirred up a small gust of wind with ease, catching Lezhong completely off guard without warning.
Previously, no one had ever used wind as a means of attack, so Le Zhong, an experienced fighter, was helpless but not particularly resentful when faced with his Waterloo.
But even though she resigned herself to fate, she still had to say what needed to be said: "Lezhi, I know you have to go to the Endless Abyss, so I'm going too. I'm not comfortable with just Lei Xiu going with you."
"Ah..." Unexpectedly, Le Zhong admitted defeat so quickly, which made Le Zhi hesitate for a moment as he was ready to send him "on his way".
Don't misunderstand, "on the road" means "truly on the road." Lezhi wants Feng to escort Lezhong all the way back to his clan's territory.
"No need. You won't be of much use if you go. You'd better hurry back to your clan and deal with the insect swarm. If we haven't returned by then, you should contact other friendly clans and go explore the Endless Abyss together. That would be more helpful." Lei Xiu's voice rang out, clearly outlining Le Zhong's plans.
He was talking about contacting friendly tribes, but what Lei Xiu really meant was that he should go to the Thunder Tribe to ask for reinforcements. At present, only the elite of the Thunder Tribe can temporarily break through the edge of the Endless Abyss. It would be pointless for other tribesmen to go; at most, they could only help with the aftermath on the outskirts.
Realizing Lei Xiu was right, Le Zhong fell silent. Le Zhi looked at Le Zhong, then back at Lei Xiu, not wanting to drag things out. "Then let's do as Lei Xiu says. Uncle Le Zhong, the tribe needs you more than we do. And as you've seen, I'm not what I used to be. The shadowy figure poses no threat to me anymore. If all else fails, I can ask the Mother Tree for help. So don't worry too much. When you get back, tell the tribespeople to relax. If anything happens, I'll contact you immediately."
He tapped the dormant vine on his hand to indicate that he had activated the vine seed given to him by Le Zhong. Unlike Le Ting's previous exhaustion, activating the vine felt almost nothing, which gave Le Zhi more confidence in his energy reserves.
"But……"
"No buts, time waits for no one. The clan might be experiencing a swarm of insects right now, and going to the Endless Abyss is the Mother Tree's instruction. I believe the clansmen will understand. Uncle Le Zhong, I'm entrusting the matter of explaining to the clan leader to you."
All three people present had children, so there was no need to worry about communication. The strategy of majority rule, which was once readily adopted, came into play at this time.
Despite Lei Xiu and Le Zhi's unwavering insistence, Le Zhong's protests were ineffective. "Alright, stop resisting. Feng'er will take you to the clan's territory. Please give my regards to Le You and the others."
"Lezhi, sigh..." The unspoken words of advice were carried away by the wind. With the help of the wind, Le Zhong's speed was forcibly increased several times. In the blink of an eye, he lost sight of Lezhi and Lei Xiu.
Having successfully sent Le Zhong away, Le Zhi didn't waste any time. "Which direction is the Endless Abyss?" This was a question for Lei Xiu. They were now surrounded by swirling winds. Unbeknownst to them, Le Zhi's ability to control the wind had become incredibly proficient.
He was ready to leave, and Lei Xiu didn't waste any more words. He turned his head and gestured in the opposite direction from Le Zhong, "This way, follow me."
The whirlwind gave them a boost, and the direction of the surging insect swarm beneath their feet was exactly opposite to the direction they were moving in.
The earthquake caused by the void resonance gradually subsided, but before the affected creatures could catch their breath, a new disaster was already upon them.
The blue moon overhead reached its zenith, its light both radiant and eerie. The sea of clouds that had once hindered Lezhi and his companions' progress had vanished completely, leaving the sky stretching for miles. The blue light spread and invaded the entire continent with unbridled abandon.
As the blue moon shone for a long time, the Zerg, who had only been barely putting up a fight, were finally defeated. Their terrifying compound eyes were covered by blue light, and they rustled away from the ranks, their long antennae touching each other to find their way.
Everywhere they looked, there were obstacles. Any obstacle that stood in their way would be ruthlessly removed, even if it was one of their own kind.
These creatures corrupted by the Blue Moon have completely lost their minds. They have broken away from their own kind, gathered together, and without a destination, they only know to move forward.
Most creatures possess inherited memories. They cannot live as long as tree spirits, but their survival instincts cause them to subconsciously remember various memories that could lead to annihilation. Through generations of inheritance, these memories eventually become instinctive reactions.
The insects that successfully resisted the effects of the Blue Moon, seeing their kin behaving strangely, all chose to avoid them and did not step forward to stop them. The earthquake had already made their lives difficult; now, preserving their own lives and finding a way to survive was the most important thing.
Besides the insects being affected by the Blue Moon, many plants also underwent some strange changes, but fortunately, they were unable to move and caused much less damage than the insects.
Le Zhong was swept away by the wind, narrowly avoiding the giant blood vine that was wildly swinging its branches and attacking indiscriminately. This giant blood vine was of a very high level and was usually very well-behaved, but now, due to the influence of the blue moon, it had also started to go berserk.
The surrounding plants had already been severely damaged and almost completely cleared away. It seems that its attack range is currently limited to that one area.
They silently memorized the location of the giant blood vine, and once the insect swarm was brought under control, they would arrange for someone to deal with it.
