Chapter 281 Learn to be Targeted
Chapter 281 Learn to be Targeted
"Hehe, don't be angry. I just saw you were worried. A thousand explanations are not as good as showing you directly. Isn't the effect great now?" Ever since Lezhi began to recognize his own abilities, it was as if he had been unshackled, and some of the little quirks in his personality gradually emerged.
The flowers of the twining vine are a delicate white with pale yellow stamens, and together with the green vines, they make the perfect decoration. Moreover, Lezhi has taken special care to ensure that the vines do not interfere with Leyou and Leting's activities while climbing. It's like adding a decoration for them, serving no other purpose besides being pretty.
However, this is only how Lezhi can play. As the name suggests, the Entangling Vine is generally used by the tribe to control the actions of others in battle. Although the energy required to produce them is not much, no one would be so bored as to make the Entangling Vine bloom. It is just to achieve the purpose.
As we all know, the energy required for plants to grow branches and leaves and to flower and bear fruit is vastly different. Many plants need to accumulate nutrients and energy over many years before they can bloom at the right time.
The mythical creatures with innate spiritual roots that bloom and bear fruit every thousand years are a testament to this.
But Lezhi didn't care. Leyou and Leting had been tied up with him all the way, helping him carefully survive among the bird and beast tribes. When he fought with the birds and beasts, they followed him regardless of their own safety. Although to outsiders it seemed that they hadn't suffered any losses, becoming the first person in the Lingyu tribe besides Lezhi to gain bird and beast companions, countless people envied them.
But things can't be counted that way. Egg Yolk and Red Flame were attracted to Leyou and Leting, which had nothing to do with Lezhi. To put it bluntly, Lezhi has always enjoyed the sacrifices of his companions, even though they don't say it, he remembers it all.
With a great disaster looming, everyone felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on their hearts. He himself was finding it hard to breathe. Le You and Le Ting, who were only a few years older than him, must also be under immense pressure. Even so, they still always thought of him.
Therefore, Lezhi genuinely wants them to be happy.
"Alright, are you happier now? Smile! The flowers of the twining vines are so pretty on you. It doesn't look good to have a frown." Lezhi teased Leyou with a smile until Leyou couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You rascal, I get what you mean. You're trying to tell me you're capable now, so I don't need to worry too much, right?" Leyou, who had just laughed, seemed to have grown up quite a bit. Although he was thick-skinned, he wasn't stupid. Looking at Lezhi in front of him, he could still remember the first time he met Lezhi. Lezhi was small, without wings, and cautiously observed everything around him with his fur ball.
He was also a minor, but the clan chief entrusted him with an important task: to help Lezhi integrate into the clan. From the moment he met Lezhi, Leyou included Lezhi in his protection.
To him, Lezhi was different from everyone else; he was a member of his clan, a friend, and his closest family member.
The tree spirits have no concept of parents; their common mother is the Mother Tree. They are born with this knowledge, and although they live among their own kind, they maintain a strong sense of boundaries with each other.
The appearance of Lezhi was the first time Leyou realized that the feelings between people could be so deep, and that the desire to protect someone was never without reason.
And now, the little one who used to need his constant reminders and couldn't even find his way has grown up.
His wings were so beautiful; six wings meant he was destined for greatness. Leyou suddenly realized that Lezhi no longer needed his constant attention. The current Lezhi could stand on its own and even win fights against birds and beasts like the Fanle Bird. He was no longer the Lezhi who would be terrified of insect larvae.
A pang of sadness lingered in her heart, but more than anything, she felt joy. Looking directly into the eyes of Lezhi, who was now almost as tall as her, Leyou solemnly said, "I understand. Do whatever you want to do, but promise me you'll be careful and don't push yourself too hard, okay?"
"Mmm~" Yuezhi replied, her eyes seeming to sparkle like stars.
"Don't worry, you've seen what Lezhi was like before. He wasn't even afraid of the Fanle Bird. I believe Lezhi knows what he's doing. Besides, there's Maoqiu around too." Le Ting couldn't empathize with Leyou's protective instincts. Seeing Lezhi growing stronger every day, he could only admire him like an idol.
"Yes, sir~" The fluffy ball, which had transformed into a large white bird, heard them talking about itself and immediately chimed in, as if to say, "Leave it to me."
It had just learned from Lezhi that it would be the last one in the team this time, and the furball accepted the change from being protected to protecting others.
Moreover, it didn't feel protected before. If it weren't for Lezhi on its back, what the tree spirits thought was a guard formation would actually be a restriction for Maoqiu, but it had been enduring it.
Now that he's moved to the back of the line, there aren't as many restrictions as before, but Maoqiu's reliability has won people's hearts. Everyone feels comfortable entrusting their backs to him, which shows that everyone has seen Maoqiu's previous efforts.
Trust is always mutual.
"Alright, since there are no problems, let's set off. Lezhi, Lei Xiu will be there to keep you company, so don't worry too much. We won't stop anytime from now on. If anything happens, feel free to contact us. Oh, and here, this is for you."
"What is this?" Le Zhi asked curiously as she took the box from Le Zhong, while Le You and Le Ting also came closer.
"Lezhi, quickly open it and take a look..."
He lifted the lid and found a seed inside that looked quite familiar to Leting.
"These are... seeds of the Chinese vine."
"Yes, Leshan asked me to give this to you. Before he left, the clan chief gave it to him in case of emergency. We all agreed that it would be more appropriate to give it to Lezhi."
"Ah, then does that mean I'm the only one without Zi Teng?" Le You felt left behind, but unfortunately, his abilities weren't up to par, so even if he wanted to cause trouble, there was nothing he could do.
Zi Teng's application has always been fair, just, transparent and open. As long as he can pass the assessment, the clan will not refuse him.
Leshan giving the vine seeds to Lezhi was certainly not their original plan. After all, when they left their clan, they did not know that Lezhi would grow into what he is today. It can only be said that everything was a matter of chance.
It was Le Chu's habitual foresight, and it was also because Le Zhi happened to have the right ability at the right time; otherwise, even if he had the seeds, he wouldn't have been able to use them.
Everyone present understood this point: even if Leyou was resentful, it was only because she felt she didn't have it, and she wouldn't be jealous of Lezhi's.
"Activate it when you have time, and don't let the vine leave your body. If anything happens, contact the mother vine."
"Okay." Ever since he demonstrated his abilities in front of everyone, he has received a lot of seeds from Leyou and Leting, which they usually collect for practice.
In Leyou's words, his previous methods of generating new creatures were all large-scale and aimless, which seemed impressive but in practice, they did not play a significant role in combat.
The clan has a special course for this situation. It's too late for Lezhi to attend now, but she can start practicing. The first thing to learn is how to induce the growth of the right plants at the right time.
This is their most effective fighting method. The Entangling Vine was prepared by Leyou beforehand, and some of it was given to Lezhi, along with other seeds. Lezhi is gradually trying it out.
"Alright, once we're ready, we'll set off. You guys are currently the only ones in the group who can communicate with birds and beasts, so the rest of the journey depends on you~"
When necessary, Le Zhong is very good at inspiring people. With just one sentence, he made Le You and the others feel excited and they clenched their fists to show that they would do their best and live up to the organization's expectations.
