Chapter 246 Telepathic Connection
Not only was it the Joyful Bird, but the first bird to emerge after recovering its health also signified that Joyful Bird had won its first battle against the shadow. As Joyful Bird's companions, Joyful Bird and Joyful Bird were not only filled with pride but also extremely excited.
Unlike their companions among the birds and beasts, before Lezhi went in, although they had faith in him, they were actually mostly worried. They were afraid something would happen to Lezhi, afraid he wouldn't be able to cure himself and would be blamed by the birds and beasts, afraid they wouldn't be able to safely wait for rescue, afraid...
In short, the appearance of this bird relieved most of their worries, especially for Leting. Watching the bird energetically leave the cave with its companions and take flight, his face brightened considerably, no longer as gloomy as before.
"Leyou, the birds and beasts recovered so quickly, doesn't that mean Lezhi is amazing? Our previous worries seem a bit unnecessary~"
"No need to say that, but I knew Lezhi would be fine. After all, it's all Shadow Disease. Even our people are so seriously ill, and Lezhi can cure them. It's just that if it's birds and beasts, it's a piece of cake for Lezhi."
Even at the end of his sentence, he unconsciously added a slight retroflex tone. Leyou made no attempt to hide his smugness, as if the bird and beast that could overcome the shadow and be successfully healed was not Lezhi, but himself.
This precisely demonstrates that Leyou has completely accepted Lezhi as one of his own, and will share his joys and sorrows. Even the fledgling bird was influenced by Leyou, spreading its wings in his arms and chirping brightly in agreement.
“See, even the little one agrees with me, right? Lezhi is really amazing, so we don’t need to rush. He’ll be done soon. Now, why don’t we think about what to do to reward Lezhi? He’s been working for so long, he’ll definitely be hungry when he comes out, just like you were before.”
This suggestion was made not only to distract Leting, but also out of genuine concern for Lezhi. Leyou knew very well how much Lezhi loved to eat; given the opportunity, Lezhi would never miss a single meal of the day.
Le Ting understood that although he was still worried, he was more proud, so he immediately responded to Le You's suggestion, "You're right, I'll help too. Let's work together to make sure Le Zhi has something to eat as soon as he comes out."
"Chirp chirp~" As soon as these words were spoken, even the furball chirped in agreement. The two hit it off immediately and got to work...
Unlike Le You and Le Ting, Fan Le Bird remained calm until the bird recovered. Perhaps it was reserved about Le Zhi's abilities, or perhaps, as a wild bird, it was used to seeing life and death. However, seeing a bird recover so quickly, Fan Le Bird began to have new thoughts.
Unlike the tree spirits, the lifespans of birds and beasts vary among their races, but none can compare to that of the tree spirits. Moreover, the wild environment is characterized by survival of the fittest, and most wild birds and beasts do not live to a ripe old age. Many die prematurely due to various accidents or other reasons before their lifespan is over.
Therefore, birds and beasts are more experienced than tree spirits when it comes to the topic of death; they are already mentally prepared for the passing of their companions.
Being attacked by the shadowy figure was tantamount to a death sentence for the birds and beasts. The appearance of the Joyful Bird, which easily won the round in just over ten minutes, was what truly surprised the Joyful Bird.
Its eyes seemed to be burning with fire as it stared unblinkingly at the cave entrance.
Leyou and Leting beside it started bustling about, seemingly unable to affect it at all.
"Hey, Leting, do you have any meat left? I don't have much left here~" Leyou checked the inventory in his space and called out to Leting, who was moving stones.
"Let me see, wait a minute." After placing the stone she had chosen in the right spot, Leting straightened up, clapped her hands, and rummaged through her space. "There's one more. If it's just for us, it should be barely enough, but with Maoqiu and the others, it'll probably be a problem."
Le Ting gestured to Le You to show him the size of the meat in his hand, and Le You agreed with what Le Ting said.
"I still have some hard rice cakes here, enough to last me a while. The rest are with Lezhi. It seems we'll have to figure out how to get some ingredients before we start cooking."
"Um, you mean?"
The two stared at each other for a long time. Le You's lips curled into a mischievous smile. As Le Ting raised an eyebrow in surprise, Le You deliberately raised his voice in a meaningful tone.
"Oh dear, I wonder how long Lezhi will be busy inside. He'll definitely be starving when he comes out. I was planning to treat him to a nice dinner, but now we don't even have enough ingredients. What are we going to do?"
Leyou deliberately spoke at a high pitch because they were in a cave, and with the echo, everyone present could hear everything clearly. This was the effect Leyou wanted.
He said those things to someone else.
Having roughly understood Le You's purpose, Le Ting pursed her lips and secretly glanced at the two birds behind her who were staring at the cave, wanting to see how they would react after hearing Le You's words.
In just a few breaths, the fluffy ball and the joyful bird started moving at the same time.
It worked! Le Ting looked at Le You with surprise and almost burst out laughing at Le You's funny antics.
Quickly raising her hand to signal Leting to calm down, Leyou pressed on, "It would be great if we could have some more meat and vegetables. Oh, and don't forget the fruit after the meal, Lezhi loves sweet fruit the most~"
He didn't name names, but those who are meant to listen will naturally listen.
Accompanied by the sounds of joyful birds, the frolicking birds and the fluffy birds left the cave one after another. Several birds remained at the cave entrance, seemingly guarding it.
"Leyou, you're amazing! What do we do now?" Le Ting's tone was filled with excitement and admiration. Le Ting was utterly impressed by Leyou, a social bull who transcended race.
"Hehe, no problem. Let's do what we need to do first. We'll get the preliminary preparations done. If nothing unexpected happens, the ingredients should arrive soon." He could guess that Maoqiu wouldn't be away for long and would definitely rush back as quickly as possible to welcome Lezhi, who might come out at any moment.
As for the magpie, it was unexpected that it would move the magpie. "It's probably just the furry bird making that noise. It should be fine..."
"Ah, what are you muttering?" Le You's voice was too soft for Le Ting to hear.
"It's nothing, I'm just going outside to get some water. You wait here, and call me if you need anything."
"Okay, don't worry." Taking the baby bird from Leyou, Leting wrapped the pack around her neck and one shoulder, adjusted its position, and became a professional babysitter again.
When the two were exchanging packages, Leyou deliberately touched Leting's wrist with her finger and gestured to Ziteng, who was in a dormant state, with her eyes.
Le Ting immediately understood what Le You meant, gave him a reassuring look, and then the two parted ways, one continuing to work inside the cave, while the other strolled out of the cave.
"I remember seeing a stream nearby when I came here. Let me see, ah, I found it~" Leyou would announce loudly almost everything he did, even if there were only a few birds and beasts around who couldn't understand him, he still enjoyed it.
Left inside the cave, Le Ting secretly activated the vine in his hand amidst the background noise intentionally emitted by Le You. After a day of rest, his energy had recovered by more than half, but the time he could sustain the mother-child vine communication was still limited.
Moreover, the current situation is not very suitable. The Flourishing Bird may return at any time, and there are also birds and beasts guarding the outside, so he must finish the battle quickly.
