Chapter 304 Above 10,000 Meters
"Are they still waiting down there?" But he couldn't finish his task anytime soon. He felt the whirlwind he was controlling becoming increasingly sluggish, so he increased his energy output, and the veins on his rounded fingers became clearly visible.
"Don't worry, before we came up, I told Leshan to take his men and leave first. If Lei Xiu and I can't help, there's no point in them staying there. They might as well hurry back to their clan. Judging from the current situation, the insect swarm should have already started." As soon as he came up, Le Zhong saw the unobstructed blue moon in the sky and sighed.
"Zhizhi, what's your situation right now? Is there anything we can do to help?" Lei Xiu's attention had been focused on Lezhi, so he naturally noticed that the huge whirlwinds seemed to be controlled by Lezhi. Seeing Lezhi exerting force with her hands, Lei Xiu quickly asked.
Knowing that Lei Xiu meant well, Le Zhi shook his head upon hearing this. Even if another person with a wind affinity were to come to him, it wouldn't be of any help. Manipulating elements, to put it bluntly, is about seizing control of the elements. Right now, no one but himself can control these whirlwinds. This is a battle he has to fight alone, and no one else can help him.
Although he seems to be struggling to control it right now, Lezhi knows his own situation and he is still far from his limit.
The eight tornadoes he created have grown larger and larger, and at a glance, they swirl and flow slowly through the clouds, even giving the wind a shape.
The beginning and the end of any attack are the most difficult. The beginning is creating something from nothing, and the end, especially when the attack is at its peak, is a test for the controller.
This is the situation Lezhi is facing now. He can conjure up whirlwinds with his bare hands and rise up with them. All of this is under his control. The clouds are stirred up and lose their original shape as he wishes.
As the whirlwind moved, the moisture was dispersed and carried away, and the clouds visibly thinned, but the whirlwind grew stronger and stronger. No matter how strong the whirlwind became, it posed no threat to Lezhi; if he wanted to leave, he could escape at any time.
But he couldn't. It would be easy for him to leave, but if these tornadoes were left to develop unchecked without human intervention, they would eventually dissipate. However, before they did, any careless action could bring annihilation to other creatures.
For the consequences, please refer to the Tidal Storm. Lezhi has not forgotten that in the eyes of the wind, the Tidal Storm, which makes all kinds of creatures tremble with fear, is just their daily play.
So when Lezhi realized the potential consequences of leaving Feng Juan unattended, he decisively chose to stay and clean up the mess he had made.
Restraining the wild wind wasn't as easy as it seemed. Just as Lezhi was getting the hang of it, Lei Xiu and Le Zhong couldn't wait to catch up.
Lezhi explained the current situation to Lei Xiu and Le Zhong. Lezhi's main purpose was not to cause them trouble because of their worries. Although she was a little angry that they had come up on their own initiative, she knew that Lei Xiu and Le Zhong meant well. Lezhi was upset for only a second before she immediately adjusted her plan.
The slow and steady approach wouldn't work. He didn't care at 10,000 meters altitude, but Lei Xiu and Le Zhong couldn't. Their arrival added variables, so Le Zhi decided to act quickly.
"Lei Xiu, Uncle Le Zhong, come behind me. I'm about to wrap things up." Without telling them what she was going to do, Le Zhi simply reminded them gently.
Although Lei Xiu and Le Zhong were worried, they obediently did as Le Zhi instructed. The two stood on either side of Le Zhi, and as soon as they stood still, they immediately noticed the difference in their positions.
The air here is very quiet.
The sea of clouds beneath my feet looked like several giant washing machines running at the same time. A storm of this magnitude would normally definitely affect the surrounding environment.
They had been quite a bit caught in the wind on their way here, and it only began to subside as they got closer to Lezhi.
Lezhi stood there, seemingly without needing to do anything; the wind would automatically bypass him. He was a self-contained barrier, and now, the two of them were also allowed to enter this barrier.
Upon discovering this situation, the two reacted somewhat differently. Lei Xiu was calm yet somewhat taken for granted. After all, he had experienced the Storm Acceleration Train before, and he was already surprised by Feng'er's preference for Lezhi.
On the contrary, seeing Le Zhong in person was better than hearing about him. After Le Zhi and his group returned to their clan, Le Man and Le Yun immediately recounted everything that had happened.
Since this was the first time such a situation had occurred, they couldn't be sure whether it was a skill that Lezhi had mastered or just a fleeting flash of inspiration and a brief interaction with Feng'er.
They had no way of knowing these things.
The key point is that Lezhi himself didn't really understand it. After returning to his clan, he had too many things to do. The wings that suddenly grew had already brought him a lot of attention. Being favored by the wind was something that couldn't be touched or seen, and it didn't have the same impact on his clan as the wings. His friends soon stopped paying attention, and Lezhi was naturally happy to be relaxed.
Exposing his privacy to show off is not in his nature. Lezhi is the type to play dumb to outsmart others. So even after returning to his clan, he could still often feel that the wind blowing past his ears was noticeably different. Lezhi remained calm and only revealed his feelings when he was alone.
Since the clan leader didn't ask, it means it's not important. What's wrong with a child having their own little secrets?
They feel at ease knowing they can hide it.
The choice to conceal it before and the choice to use it openly in front of everyone now are both Lezhi's own choices.
Times change, and in this life-or-death situation, Lezhi is still quite clear-headed, which is probably why Lechu chose to let Lezhi roam freely.
When it comes to understanding people's hearts, Yue Chu is a genius with maxed-out talent. He seems to instinctively choose the most appropriate way to get along with people, which is an essential quality for a leader.
Before Le Zhong could be surprised for long, Le Zhi had already begun to act. At this point, there was no point in continuing to hide his abilities, especially since Lei Xiu and Le Zhong were considered to be on their own.
As the two watched Lezhi raise his hand and slightly rotate his palm, the sea of clouds beneath their feet underwent a dramatic upheaval with that seemingly casual movement.
The clouds, which were originally rolling clockwise, visibly slowed their advance, as Lezhi used its energy to counteract the swirling winds.
The wind is synonymous with freedom. At first, they listen to Lezhi because of their natural instinct to be close to Lezhi. However, when the wind becomes uncontrollable and even Lezhi cannot control it, instinct becomes useless and external intervention is needed.
But the swirling wind, like a rushing river, can be devastating if it gets out of control; controlling it is no easy task.
However, Lezhi did not consider too much, or rather, he had already considered the consequences before taking action.
He only opened this Pandora's box when he was certain he could handle the situation.
With his back to the two, Lezhi looked at the whirlwind in front of him, which showed signs of easing under his energy surge. His eyes shone even brighter. No one could see that in the sea of consciousness between his brows, a tree that had already taken the shape of a towering tree was now rhythmically waving its branches.
The ancient rhythm gradually resonated with heaven and earth. At this moment, the whirlwind that seemed to be able to devour everything at any time was, in his eyes, just a mischievous child.
The energy surge had just proven effective, so Lezhi no longer hesitated. He clenched his fists and then pushed his palms out, releasing a massive amount of energy. The strands of hair that had been calmly falling behind him floated up.
