Chapter 272 Void Resonance
Lezhi's reminder was timely. When Lei Xiu noticed that Lezhi's behavior was not right, he immediately flew into the air to observe. The clansmen who should have been rushing over here did not appear, and the air currents brought an ominous aura.
He landed with a solemn expression, and before he could speak, the furry ball, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly let out a sharp cry.
"Chirp chirp~~ Hey~"
It took flight with lightning speed, changing shape in mid-air, and the moment the great white bird appeared, it seemed to blot out the sky.
As if influenced by the fluff ball, the celestial bird also fluttered its wings restlessly and scratched the ground with its claws. Although it did not take off, the angle and direction of its head tilted up were the same as the fluff ball in the air.
Unaware of what was happening, Lezhi seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked up at the sky. The restlessness that had just caused him so much pain had gradually subsided, and what made Lezhi even more uneasy now was the unknown presence in the sky.
Was it his imagination? Why did he feel that the anomaly Jormungandr was gradually resonating with that distant, untouchable existence?
what is this?
"Zhizhi, and you two, hurry up and get on the bird's back. No matter what happens, try not to get separated..." The feeling of an impending great battle grew stronger and stronger. Lei Xiu couldn't discern the specific direction of the crisis, or rather, he felt uneasy from all directions, as if danger lurked everywhere.
So without much hesitation, Lei Xiu quickly made a decision to trust the birds and beasts. The key was that the fur ball had always set a good example, never letting them down in crucial moments.
Hearing Lei Xiu's words, Le You and Le Ting exchanged a serious look. "Le Zhi, you..."
"Don't worry about me. Just do as Lei Xiu says. If anything happens, try not to be separated from Lei Xiu. He will protect you. I'll handle things on my own, so don't worry."
In the short time they were talking, the ground began to tremble slightly. Now, even Leyou and Leting could no longer ignore it; the crisis was indeed imminent.
The little cub they once protected has somehow become a strong person capable of standing on his own. Although Leyou and Leting were not used to it, they accepted it well, and it could even be said that they subconsciously obeyed Lezhi's arrangements.
The two birds and beasts were much more perceptive than their companions. They had been restless for a while, and when their companions finally finished speaking and came to them, the birds and beasts did not say anything. They simply spread their wings and let their companions sit steadily on their backs, ready to take off at any time.
The ground tremors were becoming increasingly noticeable. Suddenly, the vine in Lei Xiu's hand lit up, and Le Chu's anxious voice came from it, which Le Zhi and the others could hear clearly.
"Lei Xiu, how are you guys? What happened with the tremor just now..."
"Yes, we've noticed that too. If I'm not mistaken, it should be the one you're thinking of."
"Hiss, how could this happen? I've already contacted Le Zhong and Le Shan. They're fine, the group hasn't broken up, but they're still some distance from you. You'd better meet up with them quickly. If it really is that, then being alone is not a good thing."
“I understand. As to how things are in the tribe, most of the guards have been dispatched.”
"Don't worry, with me here, and Leyun and Lejing, everything will be fine. But are those little ones with you? Please take care of them. You absolutely must bring them back safely, please."
"Clan leader, don't worry, we will definitely appear before you unharmed. You all take care too." Although Lezhi was still shaken, he couldn't help but step forward to Ziteng to reassure him when he heard that Lechu was still worried about them even in such a critical moment. He also indirectly let Lechu know that he was in good condition and not to worry too much.
"Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the clan." Sure enough, upon hearing Yuezhi's voice, Yuechu's tone became much lighter.
At this point, it was clearly unwise to waste energy on a phone call, so Le Chu didn't say much and quickly cut off the connection. Zi Teng retracted the flower and returned to its vine form, quietly encircling Lei Xiu's wrist.
"Zhizhi, how are you feeling right now? If you're really uncomfortable, go get on Maoqiu's back. We'd better set off immediately and rejoin the main group. This commotion is very likely a void resonance."
"Void resonance?"
"No time to explain, fluffy ball~"
"嗻～"
It was rare to see such a solemn and anxious expression on Lei Xiu's face. Le Zhi knew that what was about to happen was probably much more serious than he had anticipated, and it seemed that Lei Xiu and his group had encountered something similar before.
Without wasting any time, Lezhi immediately took off and flew behind the fur ball. As soon as she settled into a familiar spot, she saw Lei Xiu taking the lead, choosing a direction, and then gesturing for them to follow.
The birds couldn't understand the hand gestures, but they were quite cooperative. They immediately understood what their companions on their backs meant. With the Fulfilling Bird following Lei Xiu, the first bird and beast team in Jormungand was thus formed.
Perhaps because the Magnificent Bird had accumulated great power, and the impending storm was growing stronger, after the first bird and beast joined the group on its own cleverness and found that it was not driven away, more and more birds and beasts joined this strange group along the way.
Upon closer inspection, most of them were residents of the valley, with a few lone travelers mixed in. At this moment, the distinctions were no longer so clear-cut, and everyone should escape together.
Meanwhile, Le Zhong and Le Shan, upon receiving the news, faced different choices. As high-ranking members of their clans, they naturally understood what void resonance was all about, and thus devised a response immediately.
"Everyone, retreat into the valley as a team."
"Yes, Captain."
Looking at the guards who obeyed orders without question, Le Shan could still hear the echoes of his argument with Le Chu.
"...This is an order. Even if you rush back now without stopping, you will only be passively defending with us. But what about Le Zhi and the others? Even with Le Zhong and the others, they cannot withstand the insect swarm impact after the void resonance, not to mention the natural disasters."
"But, within the clan..."
"With me, Le Jing, and Le Yun in the clan, the rest of you will definitely be able to protect yourselves. Don't forget about Wu Muteng. I am the clan leader of the Lingyu clan, and I will definitely protect the clan members in critical moments. Your task now is to find Le Zhi and the others and bring them back safely."
"Besides, if it really is a void resonance, then no matter where you are, it can't be considered truly safe..."
"..."
Yes, this is a void resonance. When the blue moon rises, the heavens and earth tremble, and no living being can escape it. This level of natural disaster is beyond human power to resist. Between two evils, choose the lesser. After some internal struggle, Le Shan decided to do as Le Chu said.
Their purpose in coming out this time was to rescue people, and they were just one step away from success. Moreover, he believed in Le Chu's abilities. With him, plus the assistance of Le Yun and Le Jing, they would definitely be able to hold out until they returned.
Amidst a multitude of thoughts, a resolute glint flashed in Leshan's eyes. He turned to look outside the valley, raised his hand, and released a strange plant that he had ripened before exploding in the air. The moment it exploded, colorful pollen and seeds left clear traces in the air. This was Pink Flame, which the tribe often used to transmit messages and was not used except in emergencies. Leshan was using it now to mark their location and to request that they rendezvous as soon as possible.
