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

Chapter 286 Trembling Wings

The clouds in the sky don't care about the tiny creatures below, which are as insignificant as dust. To them, this is just a long-awaited gathering, where they interact and collide. The rumbling thunder and lightning are just there to entertain them.

As for whether it will bring utter disaster to others, that's not something they would consider.

The power grids intertwined more and more densely in the air, occasionally striking the towering mountains on the mainland, scorching the plants and soil and spreading an unpleasant smell of burnt smoke.

Even the Zerg, who are known for their openness and adaptability, turned away from this smell and refused to eat it.

The earthquake had not yet stopped. They had exhausted all their efforts to find a place to rest. As for those non-humans who encountered trouble in the high sky, most of them would just take a moment to look up and then go about their own business.

However, a small number of them behaved differently. Some even wasted their energy unfolding their fragile wings hidden in their carapaces at this critical moment, carefully flying to the top of the towering branches, trying to find that bright spot in their memories.

Unfortunately, Lezhi and his team were too far from the ground. Although the insects were born with compound eyes, they still could not break through such a great distance, so they naturally did not see anything.

"Da da da~"

That was the sound of its companions calling it. With one last lingering look at the oppressive sky, the insect knew it could not linger there any longer. Its wings flapped rapidly, carrying it slowly back to its swarm.

Its slender antennae touched those of its companion, and knowing it hadn't seen, the companion offered a few words of comfort before pulling it along. In times like these, survival is paramount. As long as it lives, there will always be a time to see that person again; but if it were to die, there would be no use in thinking about it anymore.

Once you're dead, nothing remains. Whether it's a dream, an ideal, or a delusion, who cares?

The insects joined the procession, the long line resembling a river winding through the forest, branching out, converging, and finally heading towards the same destination.

Occasionally, a few insectoids would look up briefly before continuing on their way. If the Entangling Vine could speak, it would probably excitedly whisper in Lezhi's ear, "Look, those are the insects I saved!"

Unfortunately, it cannot speak yet. After completing its task, it returns to its seed state and enters hibernation, waiting for its owner to wake it up the next time it is needed.

For creatures escaping on land, lightning in the sky is at most a catalyst, but for the winged race traveling by air, it is the biggest obstacle.

If they cannot overcome this difficulty, they will be forced to land. The ground is now full of insects that were originally hibernating and have been stirred up. Coupled with the devastating earthquake, it is not a suitable escape route.

Especially birds and beasts. While tree spirits still have flexible legs, most birds' claws are naturally suited to grasping three-dimensional objects, so flat ground is not a good place for them.

Therefore, no matter what, they had to get past the electric fence, even if it meant suffering greatly. Le Shan hardened his heart and watched Lei Xiu charge towards the electric fence alone. His eyes sharpened, and he stubbornly refused to close them.

He would remember this scene forever, and never forget his helplessness in this situation. From then on, he swore in the name of the captain of the Lingyu Clan Guard that he would never let helplessness overwhelm him again. When he returned, he suggested to the clan chief that the clansmen learn from the Thunder Clan.

They used to be naive, always thinking the Thunder Clan were crazy, always looking for trouble and chasing people to get electrocuted. But when it comes to the crucial moment, reality will wake you up with the cruelest slap, telling you that no effort is useless and don't make excuses.

Incompetence is incompetence.

If you can't do it, find a way to do it.

“Captain…” Le Zhong knew Le Shan well. He didn’t need to look much to guess how frustrated Le Shan was right now, but now was not the time to dwell on it.

Lei Xiu had already begun to attract the current. Once he created a flaw in the electric grid, it would be their best opportunity to break through. So there was no time for the captain to wallow in self-pity. The main force was waiting for him to take command.

"Hoo..." He closed his eyes tightly, giving his sore eyes a moment of relief. When he opened them again, Leshan was once again the gentle, steady, and considerate captain.

"Pass the word down: form up the team, everyone listen to orders, and be ready to break out at any time."

"Yes."

Unsurprisingly, Le Zhong smiled as he watched Le Shan return to normal in an instant. This was the kind of captain who could truly impress him.

Everyone saw Lei Xiu rushing towards the electric grid. With Le Zhong bringing the commander's orders, even the most naive person understood what was happening.

In the bird and beast formation, Red Flame and Egg Yolk acted as translators, relaying the orders they heard from Leyou and Leting to the birds and beasts behind them. They had their own way of spreading information. Before long, the formation, which had been restless because of the electric grid, was like water droplets in a frying pan, but this time it was because of Lei Xiu's actions.

Moreover, although the birds and beasts couldn't hide their surprise, and their discussions were a jumble of voices that made it impossible for listeners to distinguish, their behavior was docile and they didn't panic too much.

Even when the warriors in charge of them came to organize the ranks, they were very cooperative, completely unlike their previous rebellious nature.

It's hard not to say whether they were so obedient because they had a chance to survive, or because they were truly subdued by Lezhi and dared not stand out. In any case, the result was good.

Everything proceeded smoothly as Leshan had planned. Amidst the commotion, the soldiers neatly organized the troops at the rear. Once the birds and beasts began to cooperate, the rest became much easier.

After all, every member of the Spirit Feather Clan has never lacked basic formation training since childhood, and they practice it almost every day. Not to mention these battle-hardened guards, even young students like Le Zhi who haven't graduated yet could easily put together a flying squad.

The main force was divided into smaller units, and everyone's tasks were clearly defined, except for Lezhi.

"Lezhi, what did you say? You want to cover our rear? No, this is absolutely unacceptable..." The soldier in charge of the rear guard had never dealt with Lezhi before, and he wanted to put Maoqiu and Lezhi in the line according to his usual practice.

As is customary, the rearguard is usually led by the team leader, which is him. Now that Lezhi has volunteered, regardless of whether it is actual combat or not, he would never agree.

"I've made up my mind. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll go talk to Captain Leshan myself." Lezhi knew that he wasn't rejecting her, but just couldn't make the decision on his own, so Lezhi didn't argue with him. She turned to tell Maoqiu a few words and then flew straight to the front of the line.

The pure white wings shimmered in the dim light, so when Lezhi flew over everyone's heads, no matter how fast he was, he inevitably attracted their attention.

Lezhi didn't miss the gazes watching him from behind, but he didn't pay them any mind, though he still secretly grumbled to himself. The wings were great in every way, except they were too conspicuous. Normally it was fine, but in this environment, they were practically sitting ducks, far less practical than the transparent wings of the Windwalker Clan!

Thinking of that, Lezhi recalled the exquisite feeling he had when he first saw Qingze's wings. To be honest, he really liked the wings of the Windwalker Clan. When they flew, they were completely invisible and their speed was as fast as lightning.

UI.

If he possessed such innate qualities, and with further practice, he could be an invincible force on the battlefield, if not invincible, at least a sharp weapon, and would be suitable for both escaping and hiding.

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became. As if sensing her own whimsical thoughts, the pure white wings with downy feathers on Lezhi's back trembled twice in a wronged manner, as if resisting something...
