Chapter 297 Return to the Clan Land
Startled by her own thoughts, Le Chu momentarily lost her composure and became a little too forceful. The vines she had been cultivating were originally intended to restrict the insect's movements, but she accidentally used too much force and crushed the insect into pieces.
The bursting of the insect corpses sprayed juices all around, making the already irrational insects even more agitated.
"Who is this? Didn't I warn you to be careful? These bugs are crazy right now!"
The sounds of the tribesmen complaining drifted over from afar. Le Chu, who was the one who started it all, touched her nose sheepishly. "Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I'll be more careful next time."
The warrior who complained was also feeling irritated because he was almost hit by the sap from the insects and the blue moon's light was becoming increasingly bright. When he saw that the person he was complaining about was the clan leader, he didn't say anything more and just silently moved to a spot further away from him.
Although the clan leader is quite strong, he clearly doesn't know how to cooperate, so it's best for him to stay away to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.
Not missing the subtle disdain in his clansmen's eyes, Le Chu's guilt vanished in an instant. These guys, really, he's the clan leader, don't they have any dignity?
This wave of insects came suddenly. The earthquake didn't cause much trouble for the Spirit Feather Clan, but because there weren't many people left behind, they still had some difficulty resisting.
However, now that Leshan and his team have returned, it's only a matter of time before they take down this wave of insects.
The returning team of tree spirits had a clear division of labor: one team followed Leshan into battle, and the other team followed Leyun back to defend. Only the birds and beasts were left standing there, not knowing what to do.
Le Yun was about to ask Le You to help communicate with them. These birds and beasts were brought back by them, but they were currently unsure whether they were friend or foe. It seemed inappropriate to let them enter the tribe's territory like this, but leaving them alone was also not an option.
So after quickly considering all the possibilities, Yueyun decided to ask the birds and beasts for their opinions. Putting aside everything else, the tribe would definitely be willing to help those birds and beasts with offspring.
But before Yueyun could finish explaining to Yueyou, a loud cry broke the balance.
"Hua~" - This refers to the bird of joy.
It spread its wings fully and circled above the formation once. The birds and beasts in the formation, who had been standing there dumbfounded and not knowing what to do, seemed to have received a command.
The birds and beasts that still had fighting strength took flight and joined behind the Joyful Bird, following it in the direction Leshan had left. Those birds and beasts that were smaller in size, not well-suited to long-distance flight, and needed to take care of their young formed a group and followed behind Red Flame and Egg Yolk, looking like obedient little ones.
The sudden turn of events left Yue Yun momentarily stunned. Yue Ting's voice came from beside him, answering his question, "Le Yun, Egg Yolk said that the leader just gave an order that all the birds not participating in the battle should stay and follow Red Flame's command. What should we do now?"
Well, although the process was a little different from what he expected, the result was correct. Le Yun and Le You smiled at each other. "Then we don't need to say these things for now!" Le You was referring to what Le Yun had just wanted to ask Hong Yan to convey.
"Alright, since that's the case, Yue Ting and Yue You, please tell Hong Yan and Dan Huang that we'll proceed as follows..."
Once in work mode, Yueyun's mind was clear and organized, and she quickly arranged the nearly one thousand birds and beasts of all sizes clearly.
Bringing them into the tribe requires ensuring their safety and taking precautions to prevent the birds and animals from clashing with the tribe members. There are many things to be careful about.
Of course, this is not something that Yueyun can handle alone, so he only asked Hongyan and Danhuang to keep an eye on the order. The real adjustment process has only just begun.
"Captain Lejing, we're back."
He led the remaining tribesmen and birds and beasts to the entrance of the tribe's territory, which was completely surrounded by wood and vines, leaving only a small gap for communication between the inside and outside.
Upon hearing Yueyun's voice, the people inside the clan's territory quickly communicated with Wumu Teng and opened a passage that allowed the tree spirits to enter and exit.
However, it was clear that this passage would be difficult for birds and beasts to pass through. This was not the fault of the tribesmen; they were unaware of the warriors' return, and since they had brought their families, they were unprepared, so this situation naturally arose.
Le Yun did not lead his people in first, as he was not at ease leaving these birds and beasts here. However, they did not wait long. Le Jing, who was in charge of guarding the entrance, soon appeared. When she saw the birds and beasts of all sizes filling almost half the sky outside the tribe's territory, in addition to the familiar faces of her people, the usually calm and composed Le Jing was visibly stunned for a moment.
"What's going on? Weren't they going to rescue people? What happened? They disturbed a bird's nest, and now the bird is upset and coming back to demand an explanation?"
"Captain Lejing, it's like this..."
Before Yue Jing's thoughts could wander too far, Yue Yun quickly explained the whole story, emphasizing that the leader of the bird-beast tribe was Yue Zhi's defeated foe, and that Yue You and Yue Ting had gained bird-beast companions.
Le Yun also mentioned that Fanle Bird had just led a group of birds and beasts to help in the battle, which was a plus.
Sure enough, Le Jing was already ecstatic after hearing only half of it. By the end, her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of her chest. But Le Jing is Le Jing; at least on the surface, she didn't show any signs of it.
His eyes swept over the flock of birds and beasts circling overhead, and on Hongyan and Danhuang, Lejing saw Leyou and Leting waving to him. These two little guys had finally returned safely because of his mistake. Lejing's eyes softened, and after thinking for a while, he didn't say anything more.
As one of the most powerful figures in the tribe, Le Jing had the authority to shelter some harmless birds and beasts. However, she made sure to lay out the unpleasant truths upfront.
"They can enter the tribe, but they absolutely cannot attack any tribespeople. Do they understand?" Although birds and beasts don't usually attack people without reason, what if something happens? Nothing is absolute, and it's always better to think things through than not to think them through.
"Don't worry, Captain Le Jing. They've been following us all the way here and have been very obedient. I just gave them special instructions, so there won't be any problems. Besides, we're here with you." Le Yun said the last sentence with a smile on her lips and a light in her eyes, looking very confident.
That's true. Every member of the guard team is highly trained; none of them are ordinary. Moreover, once they're inside the clan's territory, with the help of the housewood and vines, these birds and beasts won't be able to cause any real trouble.
With her mind at ease, Yue Jing no longer hesitated. She turned around, placed her hand on the wooden vines, and closed her eyes for a second. The originally small passage suddenly expanded, allowing at least two birds and beasts to pass through together.
"Alright, welcome home! Come on in!"
Under the leadership of Red Flame and Egg Yolk, the accepted birds and beasts were all very obedient. The key to this smooth progress was that the more troublesome ones were all taken away by the Bird of Joy to help fight.
It has to be said that I wonder if the Joyful Bird has also considered this point. If so, then it can only be said that it is becoming more and more like a true leader.
Unaware that Yueyun had praised her, the Fanle Bird was currently leading its bird and beast army, cooperating with the tree spirits to deal with the endless swarms of insects.
