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

Chapter 255 Busy Night

The big-eyed bird was dizzy from the electric shock, its body swaying in mid-air, but it still managed to flap its wings with willpower and barely stay in the air, avoiding a miserable fall.

However, judging from its somewhat cloudy eyes, the bird was not quite clear-headed at the moment.

Even so, Lei Xiu was somewhat surprised. A sense of admiration for this bird-beast arose in his heart.

There is no way to deal with lightning attacks. Even those who are naturally affinity-for-lightning will only be able to barely stay conscious when attacked by lightning of this intensity during their initial training.

Most people need to undergo long-term tolerance training to gradually cope with large doses of lightning.

This is the only way for the Thunder Clan to become powerful.

Other creatures in Jormungand, lacking such training, could only rely on their physical strength to withstand lightning, requiring a sufficiently resolute will.

After all, lightning strikes silently, yet its power is immense; the unknown is often the most terrifying.

This bird had just withstood a lightning attack that dealt 30% of his energy. Keep in mind that he was Lei Xiu, the genius of the Thunder Clan over the years. 30% of his power was enough to kill most of his allies, and only a few outstanding members of his own clan could withstand it. But this bird not only survived without getting dizzy, but also managed to stay in the air. In every respect, it was an opponent worthy of respect.

Now, Lei Xiu was truly intrigued. In the past, their tree spirit clan had an understanding with birds and beasts, and the two clans had never clashed. Therefore, their assessment of each other's combat strength was basically based on their interactions with the insects they fought, which was not very accurate.

Today's rare opportunity allowed him to probe the true nature of these birds and beasts.

With a flick of his palm, a subtle flash of electricity appeared. Lei Xiu prepared himself, ready to launch another attack in a flash.

The big-eyed bird sensed Lei Xiu's intention and prepared to attack. The previous attack had not only failed to deter it, but had also fueled its competitive spirit. Today, the two of them had to settle their score.

This collision was even more intense than the previous one, with arcs of electricity streaking across the night sky and flashing brightly in the dimly lit area, indicating that something unusual was happening there.

The electric light attracted many eyes, including the aviary that suddenly ventured out late at night.

Because I had to stay in the valley during the day, my daily territory patrol was delayed until now.

According to the logic of ordinary people, if a day is missed due to a patrol, then so be it, especially since it's already late at night. But the magpie tossed and turned in its nest for a long time, ultimately succumbing to its instincts.

I feel like I haven't finished something if I don't patrol the territory every day; this feeling is incredibly agonizing. As time goes by, it only gets worse.

And so, it appeared here.

Although it was night, it didn't cause the jay bird too much trouble. The forest wasn't dark, and its night vision was excellent. Everything was peaceful until the bolt of lightning appeared.

The flash of light lasted only a second or two, but that was enough for the bird of joy to notice.

Having determined that the place was close to its territory, the Joyful Bird didn't hesitate for long and immediately decided to go check it out. Meanwhile, after successfully taking down the Big-Eyed Bird Beast with his second attack, Lei Xiu immediately realized that this place was not safe to stay in. After roughly cleaning up the traces he had left there, he quickly moved away from the battlefield.

No sooner had he left than the Bird of Joy arrived. The big-eyed bird was still lying on its back on the snow, its calves twitching, and faint sparks of electricity could be seen running through its body, but at least it was not in any danger, only temporarily unable to move.

Besides the large-eyed birds and beasts that had been knocked down, the Prosperous Bird could also smell the scent of another person at the scene, not a bird or beast, but someone closer to those alien races.

A dark glint flashed in its eyes, and the Joyful Bird seemed to realize something, remaining frozen in place for a long time.

Of course, this is only on the surface. In reality, with its naturally broad vision, it is observing the movements of its surroundings and trying to find weaknesses.

Many people don't understand this point and often think that birds and beasts act stupidly, but little do they know that they are the ignorant ones who inadvertently expose their actions completely.

Lei Xiu was not so arrogant. Due to time constraints and his own selfish reasons, although he left the vicinity of the battlefield, he did not go far. Instead, he chose a dense thicket to hide in.

He was gambling that some birds and beasts would notice the anomaly, that they would continue to report it because they couldn't handle it, and that he could lure out the strongest fighters so that Lei Xiu could at least confirm whether he had found the right place.

Unexpectedly, the first person to arrive was the one he had been most looking forward to.

Sure enough, the appearance of the Flourishing Bird was a sign that this was the place he was looking for. The valley that Leting had mentioned they were taken to was nearby.

However, judging from the appearance of the celestial bird, it seemed to have sensed something. This was not a good time to start a conflict with it. Although he was not afraid, in order to consider the overall situation, Lei Xiu chose to conceal his aura even more, and his whole person became so calm that he seemed to blend into the environment.

The cold wind howled on the winter night, swirling through the forest and bringing a sense of desolation.

Apart from the sound of the wind, there had been no other noise for a long time. The bird of joy observed the area for a long time, but to no avail.

The only positive outcome was that the big-eyed bird that had been electrocuted was recovering; its previously twitching leg muscles were slowly tightening, indicating that it was gradually regaining control of its limbs.

The bird of joy also noticed that the big-eyed bird was in good condition, but it probably wouldn't be fully awake for a while. After pondering for a while, it raised its head and let out a clear call.

This area is its territory, and its call is a signal. Soon, nocturnal birds and beasts in the vicinity respond. Once they arrive and confirm that the big-eyed bird has companions to look after it, the celestial bird does not waste any more time and flaps its wings to leave.

The patrol mission was not yet complete, and it had to continue. If it didn't hurry, dawn would break, and all its previous efforts would be in vain.

As for that guy who suddenly appeared, it can't find him for the time being, but as long as Lezhi and the others are there, the Joyful Bird knows very well that the person will definitely reappear, so there's no need to rush.

Hidden in the shadows, Lei Xiu observed the birds and beasts' actions. Regardless of the many questions in his mind, Lei Xiu remained unmoved, as if he had grown into the bushes, as if he were a plant that could not react.

Nighttime passes slowly, yet also quickly.

After a period of extreme darkness before dawn, the first rays of light pierced through the darkness, and Jormungand welcomed a new day.

As the first rays of sunlight shone down, the birds, who were just beginning to drift off to sleep as they hurried back to their nests before dawn, heard a sound coming from the tent next door.

The group of Lezhi and his companions, who had been sleeping soundly all night, woke up. Although they were very considerate as roommates and tried their best to keep the noise to a minimum, the birds with keen senses could hear little difference.

However, the bird of joy did not protest; it simply continued to doze with its eyes closed. Without even opening its eyes, it could discern the movements of Lezhi and the others from the rustling sounds alone.

"Shh, be quiet, the big bird is still sleeping." Leyou poked his head out of the tent, observed the state of the Fanle bird, and quickly turned to remind him so as not to make too much noise and wake up the owner.

They haven't known each other long enough to figure out each other's personalities. If the homeowner has a bad temper in the morning, things could get really messy.
