Chapter 303 Yuechu's Decision
Chapter 303 Yuechu's Decision
At an altitude of 10,000 meters, only those with combat prowess at the level of Lei Xiu and Le Zhong could follow without batting an eye. Others wouldn't dare to be so reckless, mainly because they feared that after all the hard work of flying up, they wouldn't be able to help at all.
“Clan leader, I think we don’t need to worry so much.” Feeling that her partner’s heartbeat had returned to normal, Le Yun knew that Le Shan had calmed down. After thinking for a while, seeing Le Chu’s dilemma, she decided to speak her mind. “I haven’t witnessed how powerful Le Zhi has become, so I won’t comment, but I do know about Lei Xiu and Le Zhong.”
"Let's not talk about Lei Xiu, just talk about Le Zhong. In our clan, the only two who can beat him right now are probably the two of you, and it certainly won't be an easy victory. As for Lei Xiu and Le Shan, do you think you can beat him?"
"Of course not, what a joke." Le Shan answered decisively. It wasn't that he was cowardly, but rather that he was being honest. When Lei Xiu first arrived, he had just recovered from a serious illness. To be honest, although Lei Xiu had a great reputation before, Le Shan always felt that he wasn't much different.
Later, when Lei Xiu brought Le Zhi, who had grown wings, back from his birthplace and joined the hunting team, Le Shan remembered the result of his presumptuous request to spar. Even now, every time he thinks about it, his whole body aches.
This is someone I really can't beat.
"Clan leader, what about you? If you were to fight Lei Xiu one-on-one, do you think you would have a chance of winning?" I don't think there's anything wrong with my partner admitting defeat. It's good to have self-awareness. The worst thing is if someone clearly can't win but still won't admit it. That's hard to say.
If Leshan were truly like that, Leyun wouldn't have fallen for him.
Faced with Le Yun's question, Le Chu thought about it seriously for a moment, "Well, if it were Lei Xiu from before, if I were serious, the score would probably be 82 out of 10!"
"Who is the eighth and who is the second?" The focus of gossip is no longer on himself, and Leshan has taken to teasing.
"Nonsense, the title of the Thunder Clan's number one fighter isn't fake, I'm not blind." Le Chu rolled his eyes. If it really came down to it, Le Shan didn't even have a 91% chance, yet he had the nerve to tease him. Who gave him the courage?
"You mean before? What about now? Has Lei Xiu become stronger or not as strong as before?" This was a rhetorical question, as everyone had witnessed Le Zhong's recovery.
Even the Windwalkers now know that anyone cured of Shadow Disease by Lezhi's hands recovers quickly and effectively. Not only do their previous injuries disappear, but their physical fitness also increases significantly, making it incredibly cost-effective.
Among them, Le Zhong is the first to stand the test of time.
As for Lei Xiu, although everyone had their guesses, Lei Xiu, after recovering, had been engrossed in taking care of the cubs. Even when he went out with the hunting team, there were almost no situations where he needed to use his full strength.
Even on that occasion, he single-handedly protected the Leyou team, keeping them unharmed while still having the strength to spare, demonstrating that he was still in a state of ease at that time.
It's no exaggeration to say that when Le Shan saw them, Le You and the others were even more breathless than Lei Xiu, who had just gone through a battle. If you didn't know better, you would think that the ones who participated in the battle were those underage kids, and Lei Xiu was just watching.
The same thing happened during the battle with Le Shan. Le Chu was also present at the time. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Lei Xiu won with almost no reason to criticize him. That's why Le Shan was so convinced.
"Right now, I don't know, maybe ten?"
Ten? What does that mean?
"What I mean is that ten of me might be able to fight one Lei Xiu." Le Chu glanced at Le Shan and explained, speaking with confidence and without feeling embarrassed at all.
With such a thick skin, it's no wonder he thrives in the position of clan leader.
"Neigh~ Neigh~" Are you talking about that little guy who beat me up?
The birdsong began, and the swan bird, which was preening its feathers to make them shine, listened to the conversation from beginning to end. Although it didn't quite understand some of the words, it could still tell that they were discussing something related to music.
"Sort of, what's wrong?" Le Chu's attitude towards her partner was as gentle as a spring breeze, and even her tone of voice was much softer, which was obviously different from her attitude towards Le Shan.
When alone with Leshan, he is not only the clan leader but also a playmate, and some of his true nature will naturally be revealed in the conversation. When facing Fanle Bird, he has a vague fatherly mentality, showing more respect than he would a pet. However, since they have just met, he does not want to expose his true nature too much. So, naturally, he uses this attitude to test and adjust to each other, just like when he first met Lezhi.
"Hua hua~ hua hua hua~" He's really good. The big guy next to him, the one who can catch lightning with his bare hands, is also very good, but he's still not as good as that little guy.
This is the instinct of wild animals; they judge a person's strength not by sight, but by intuition.
In Fanle Bird's intuition, Le Chu's physical condition after awakening may still be inferior to Lei Xiu's, but his aura and energy reserves are much stronger than Lei Xiu's.
If we were to use a light source as an analogy, Lezhi would be like the rising sun, while Leixiu would be like the moon at its zenith. At first glance, they might seem similar, but their energy levels are fundamentally different.
The moon needs to conserve its energy for its own use, while the sun, while radiating its own light, also shines upon others. This is why the birds and beasts show affection towards Lezhi.
They instinctively chase after light, and the energy that Lezhi unconsciously emits makes them feel comfortable. Although they don't know why, they just want to get closer to it.
After relaying Fanle Bird's words to Leshan and Leyun, Lechu also fell into deep thought. It seems that he missed a lot this time when Lezhi and the others encountered danger!
"There's no use thinking about this now. Le Yun is right. No matter how much we think about it now, we can't spare the right manpower to rescue people. The insect swarm is the top priority. If they haven't returned by the time this wave passes, we can ask our allies for help. The Thunder Clan should also be able to free up their resources by then, and our chances of winning will be even greater."
Moreover, given their abilities, the three of them might have already successfully saved themselves and are on their way to reunite with their ethnic group.
Once Le Chu and the others regained their senses, they decided to deal with the immediate crisis first. Although they said they trusted Le Zhi and the others, the lingering worry in their eyes showed that their mood was not as calm as they appeared.
The three people who were being talked about by their clansmen are now facing a new crisis.
As Lei Xiu and Le Zhong passed through the clouds, they were immediately noticed by Le Zhi, who was controlling the whirlwind. He was also startled at the time.
Fortunately, they reacted quickly enough, and Lei Xiu and Le Zhong were not to be underestimated, so a tragedy of fighting among their own people was averted.
"Zhizhi..." "Lezhizai..."
"Lei Xiu, Uncle Le Zhong, what brings you up here?"
Seeing the two people rushing straight towards him, Lezhi was filled with disbelief, but the facts were right in front of him. Lei Xiu's hug told Lezhi that this was not his illusion.
“I was worried about you, so I came up to check on you.” As for Le Zhong, Lei Xiu hadn’t given him a second glance since he saw Le Zhi, even though they had just escaped from the swirling clouds together.
Having long been accustomed to Lei Xiu's attitude, Le Zhong ignored him and spoke up on his own: "I was worried about you too. The rain has stopped down below, but the earthquake is still ongoing. The team can't stay in mid-air for too long. You haven't shown up yet, so how can I feel at ease if I don't come up and check on you?"
