Chapter 292 The Roller Coaster Tumbling in the Clouds
Lezhi's figure soaring into the clouds was astonishing. His wings themselves shone with light, and whenever he appeared in the dim sky, he was always particularly eye-catching. Every move he made attracted people to follow him, and all living things were no exception.
Including Lei Xiu, who is still struggling with the power grid.
Lei Xiu's current condition is neither good nor bad. With the Chang gun in hand, the electric light around his body seems to be expanding, but if you look closely, you can see that the layer of electric light close to his skin is being slowly assimilated by him.
It takes time for the body to adapt to the powerful electric current, especially since the power grid is constantly powered by clouds in the sky.
This situation had been considered long before Lei Xiu took action. However, once he actually got to work, Lei Xiu discovered that the electric grid was more troublesome than he had imagined.
As if they knew exactly where their tolerance to lightning lay, each increase was just right on the edge of danger. The lightning's tolerance was gradually increasing, and the power of the lightning was also gradually increasing, achieving a delicate balance.
Therefore, from an outsider's perspective, Lei Xiu was in a stalemate with the power grid.
However, from another perspective, the current situation is not too bad for Lei Xiu, because the power grid's intentional or unintentional cooperation has greatly increased his tolerance to lightning in this short period of time.
If they weren't running for their lives, this would be a great training opportunity.
Such a thought flashed through his mind for only a moment before Lei Xiu quickly suppressed it. In the intervals between his patience with the electric grid, Lei Xiu kept a close eye on the escape of the main force and personally witnessed that Le Shan and the others had not gone far. It was clear that they had realized their current predicament.
To escape this predicament, the balance between them must be broken.
Ideally, the goal is to wait until the power grid runs out of power. As soon as it shows even the slightest weakness, Lei Xiu will have a chance to break the deadlock. However, this scenario depends on luck; one cannot rely entirely on the opponent's inability to hold on. Because the power grid itself is inanimate, if the clouds above can continue to increase their output, then the first to give way will definitely be Lei Xiu, whose power is constrained by its limits.
Unless Lei Xiu is willing to risk damaging his very essence and fight the electric grid to the death, that would be a last resort. Lei Xiu wouldn't act impulsively unless absolutely necessary.
But now things have taken an unexpected turn; Lezhi has made a move, something Lei Xiu hadn't anticipated.
Watching Lezhi's figure flash past and disappear behind the clouds in an instant, the former chieftain of the Thunder Clan, who had just been calmly analyzing the battle situation, suddenly had a glint of fire in his eyes.
"Zhizhi..." What are Leshan and Lezhong doing? And Maoqiu too. At this crucial moment, how can we let Lezhi do whatever he wants? What if something happens?
Lei Xiu, his eyes blazing with fury, only saw Le Zhi pass by and completely failed to notice the two little birds following him. Therefore, while he was cursing inwardly, he did not let the fur balls go.
The little bird, nestled in the bundle in front of Lezhi's chest, sneezed softly, immediately attracting Lezhi's attention. The higher they flew, the lower the temperature indeed became, and the fledgling had already been unable to bear it. With Lezhi's help, it returned to the bundle and huddled together with the little bird for warmth.
Lezhi reached out and tucked the gaps in the package to prevent cold air from getting in. She just assumed that Maoqiu was a little uncomfortable and didn't think much of it.
All his thoughts are now focused on the clouds in front of him.
The feeling of disappearing into the clouds was peculiar. He had always known that clouds were made up of water molecules; this was common knowledge in his previous life.
The clouds floating in the sky, how should I put it, are like a large, breathing pool.
Even if Lezhi can't swim, it doesn't matter, the wings behind him will help him. However, after entering the clouds, the effect of the wind is not as obvious as it was outside. The downy feathers fill with water again, becoming heavier and greatly affecting Lezhi's speed.
Then Lezhi thought of Qingze's wings again, those crystal clear, and most importantly, waterproof wings, which were perfect for the current situation.
If only he could have wings like that.
Lezhi sighed inwardly again. He thought he was just indulging in wishful thinking, unaware that his subconscious, having sensed his true desires, had begun to circulate the energy hidden deep within his body. Lezhi, who had been struggling to traverse the clouds, suddenly felt his body lighten.
The old, dilapidated machine was replaced with a brand new motor, so fast that even Lezhi himself couldn't react in time.
"Ahhhh~~"
"Chirp chirp~" "Chirp chirp chirp~"
The excessive speed caused Lezhi's body to tumble uncontrollably. The train, which was traveling smoothly, suddenly turned into a roller coaster, which frightened the unprepared Maoqiu and the chick. Three screams in different voices intertwined and echoed in waves at an altitude of 10,000 meters.
Fortunately, their screams were blocked by the water vapor and did not reach the area below. If Lei Xiu and the others had heard them, they would probably have rushed up to rescue them immediately. At that moment, the bigger picture and the team would probably have been forgotten.
Lezhi, who was still tumbling forward, had no time to think about these things. He tried to flap his wings to steady himself, but found that the more frequently he flapped his wings, the faster he rolled. Realizing this rule, Lezhi quickly slowed down his wings and managed to stabilize himself in mid-air.
"Huff... huff... ah, it's finally stopped. What was that just now?" Apart from the three of them, there were no other living beings breathing here. Lezhi was just talking to herself to vent her psychological stress because she was too frightened. She didn't expect anyone to answer her.
Please, it would be truly terrifying if I actually got an answer.
By posing questions and finding answers on their own, Lezhi successfully made himself laugh.
Some people are stunned after being startled, some get angry, and some are quite different; they laugh, like Lezhi.
Moreover, it wasn't just when he was shocked; after all the extreme emotions subsided, Lezhi would subconsciously force himself to smile. He had always kept himself going this way.
So this time was no exception. His smile dispelled his fear, and his breathing gradually calmed down. The furball and the chick in his arms finally recovered from the dizzying sensation. The furball poked its head out of the bundle and touched Lezhi's nose with its tiny beak.
"Chirp chirp~" — Are you alright?
Reassured by its own big bird, Lezhi closed its eyes in relief. When it opened them again, its pure white eyes no longer showed any fear.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. How about you guys? Are you alright?"
"Chirp~" "Chirp chirp chirp~"
When Lezhi asked if they could handle it, Maoqiu's little chest puffed up, and it gave a short but firm answer to Lezhi's question. The chicks echoed it firmly, not to be outdone.
They're not afraid of roller coasters that just keep going up and down.
Amused by the two little ones again, the uncontrollable gloom in her heart completely dissipated, and Lezhi finally took a closer look at her surroundings.
The uncontrolled tumbling they just experienced, though not entirely satisfactory, had a good result. They had finally broken through the first layer of clouds and arrived above this cloud layer, where they were now in a normal high-altitude environment. Although there were still quite a few clouds converging on them, compared to the scale of the cloud cluster beneath their feet, these were insignificant.
