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

Chapter 295 Getting back on the road

After settling the team's logistics, Yueyun looked up at the sky. The scattered whirlwinds had successfully brought all the clouds under their control. The moisture was dispersed by the airflow, and light leaked out from the gaps in the clouds, gradually restoring the dim sky to its former appearance.

Lei Xiu, who was entangled with the electric grid, clearly felt that the grid was running out of steam. Chang's spear stopped its stalemate with the grid, and with a powerful swing, Lei Xiu gradually dismantled the grid, which was already showing signs of barely surviving.

Before he could get away, Le Zhong was hit by the air currents from Lei Xiu's swing and his body fell backward. However, this was nothing to Le Zhong. He quickly regained his balance and looked up to see Lei Xiu, whose body was still crackling with electricity, rushing straight into the clouds.

"Hey, Lei Xiu, where are you going..." Le Zhong frowned and shouted, raising his hand to stop him, but could only fall helplessly. "Really, neither of them can give me any peace of mind."

Clenching his teeth, Le Zhong was filled with anger and decided that he couldn't bear it any longer. Seeing Le Shan coming to inquire about the situation, Le Zhong shouted instructions and then jumped up and followed him.

“I’ll go up and take a look too. Leshan, you take the team and go first. If everything is alright, we’ll catch up soon.”

"What the hell? Le Zhong, come back here right now..."

Too late, Le Shan couldn't stop him in time and could only watch helplessly as Le Zhong followed Lei Xiu and rushed into the clouds.

If it weren't for the constraints of the team, he could have caught up, but his responsibilities held him back. He guessed what Le Zhong meant by his last words.

The rain has stopped, the power grid is no longer a threat, but the earthquakes haven't stopped. The main force can't stay in one place for long; getting on the road as quickly as possible is the priority. As the team commander, Leshan should prioritize the safety of the main force.

As for Le Zhong himself, as one of Le Zhi's closest elders, he couldn't just leave Le Zhi behind and leave with the rest of the group. Lei Xiu was even less of a concern. That's why Le Zhong hurriedly left before Le Shan could stop him, leaving only that one sentence in his hand.

Left behind, Leshan stood there, seething with powerless rage, yet he knew it was the best course of action. Everyone else present could act on emotion, but he couldn't.

Anxious to check on Lezhi's situation, Lei Xiu rushed into the sky, his spear pointing directly at the center of the whirlwind. After confronting the electric grid for so long, Lei Xiu hadn't come away empty-handed. At least now, the way his spear cut through the wind and clouds seemed much more efficient than before.

A small opening was torn in the center of the outermost small whirlwind, and Lei Xiu did not stop thrusting even during the attack, disappearing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.

Following behind him, Le Zhong, who was a little later, was lucky enough to successfully enter the whirlwind before it automatically repaired itself.

"Hiss, is this the strength of the Thunder Clan's number one fighter?..." When Le Man witnessed Lei Xiu break through the whirlwind for the first time, he couldn't help but gasp.

Is such strength something that the tree spirits could possess?

Or is it that Lei Xiu is the exception?

No one answered Le Man behind him, or rather, what he had just asked wasn't even a question.

The Joyful Bird, who stood on the periphery of the group and took on the task of guarding, did not miss this scene either. In fact, from the moment Lei Xiu single-handedly resisted the electric grid and created a way out for everyone, the Joyful Bird's eyes began to flicker with thought.

However, no one noticed it at the moment, because Leshan had returned.

When Leshan, his eyes bloodshot and face stiff, ordered the team to regroup, everyone fell silent in fear of his unpleasant expression, including the birds and beasts, who were quite sensible at that moment and dared not ask a single question.

The team set off at top speed, resuming their journey home. Only the swirling clouds in the sky behind them showed no sign of stopping...

Unlike Lezhi, who has no sense of direction, Leshan is an expert at determining directions. Even though the earth is in chaos due to prolonged earthquakes and the fleeing Zerg are in disarray, it does not prevent Leshan from accurately locating the Zerg territory in a second.

With a reliable leader, the team, which had never landed since its departure, sped along, passing over countless insects without any unexpected obstacles.

In Jormungand, most creatures are winged. Birds and beasts, for example, sacrificed their forelimbs in exchange for naturally powerful wings. Tree spirits, favored by the Mother Tree, possess wings that can be extended and retracted at will, representing the ideal state for winged beings.

The only difference is that some insects are born without wings; these are called the terrestrial insect race.

The other group, however, requires their bodies to undergo a long juvenile period, then spin a cocoon, and finally emerge as feathers at the right time to grow wings. At any stage of this process, even the slightest mishap could lead to death.

Even after metamorphosis, things aren't all smooth sailing. Even if they successfully grow wings, the Zerg's wings cannot support them flying too high or for too long. To date, the highest recorded Zerg flight has only reached a few hundred meters; altitudes above a thousand meters belong to birds, beasts, and treants.

Because of their inherent racial disadvantages, the Zerg evolved the instinct to reproduce in large numbers to cope with risks.

So when you look down, all you can see are all sorts of insects swarming and fleeing, on the ground, on plant branches, and in the air, forming a huge, dark mass that is quite shocking.

Ants can kill an elephant, which is another important reason why their team dared not land easily; the ground was far more dangerous than they had imagined.

"Isn't it said that there will be fewer insects in the winter? If this is considered fewer, then what is it like when there are many? It's unimaginable..." Leyou and Leting are the only two people in the team who are the least troublesome, apart from the chicks.

They have birds and animals to travel with, so they don't need to expend energy flying themselves. They have plenty of time and energy to observe their surroundings, including the jungles being ravaged by the earthquake, since this is the first time they have experienced such a disaster.

"Yes, no wonder the hunting team used to go out hunting every day, and the guards never let up, patrolling every day." With so many enemies, if he were a high-ranking official in charge of the tribe's safety, he probably wouldn't be able to sleep well, and would have to kill several insects in his dreams.

Leman, who was flying right beside them, overheard their conversation and shook his head with a chuckle. "You two only realize how hard we worked before now? But you seem to have some misunderstanding about our combat strength. We don't even consider these bugs a threat."

Insects also vary in combat strength. Yunmeng Forest borders the clan's territory and is the main area where the clan members obtain living resources. It is also a key area for their guard team to patrol.

"How can one allow others to sleep soundly beside one's bed?" They had long since wiped out most of the more threatening insect groups in the Yunmeng Forest, leaving only the relatively docile ones.

The clan always arranges patrol teams only after the higher-ups have assessed their combat capabilities and determined that they can handle most situations.

It's no exaggeration to say that if half of their warriors were to send out half a day, they could wipe out all those insects. So the insect swarms that the tribespeople perceived were never a threat to them.

Because ordinary people have never faced a real insect swarm.

The insects that were driven out of the treant territory were their true enemies.
