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

Chapter 181 Escape

"what?!"

Ignoring the questions raised by her clansmen, Qingjin did not want to explain further at this time. She simply shook her head and gestured for Qingping and the others to look carefully.

"This kind of sight hasn't appeared for a long time. Tell the team to observe carefully. Who knows when we'll see a tidal storm break apart again..."

Upon understanding the meaning of Qingjin's last sentence, Qingping was shocked. "Break open, you mean like before?"

"Of course not. My arrows before only temporarily opened a gap in the whirlwind, and Lei Xiu's shot only made a small crack. The whirlwind quickly returned to its original state. What I mean by 'breaking open' now is to truly interrupt the trajectory of the wind, making it impossible for it to return to its original state."

"This...is it possible for someone to actually do this?" Qingping's voice was hoarse with shock as he asked the last question. He knew the question was incredibly absurd, but he still managed to ask it in a hoarse voice.

"I've heard that some people have been able to do it before, but this is the first time I've actually seen it." After today, she will know whether it was just an exaggerated legend or a factual historical record.

Lei Xiu, come on, let her see whether he's just seeking fame or a hidden gem.

Lei Xiu, who was at the center of everyone's attention, did not care about the thoughts of those on the outside. The warning had been issued, and he was now focused on breaking through the encirclement. As for whether innocent people would be affected, that was no longer something he could consider at the moment.

Having already clashed with him, the wind showed no mercy, seemingly completely disregarding the fact that Lei Xiu still had Le Zhi in his arms. The speed at which the storm spun uprooted nearby plants, swirling them into the air.

In an instant, the surroundings felt as absurd as if it were the end of the world.

The insects and other creatures that had been fleeing in panic due to the sudden gust of wind also noticed the commotion. Now incapable of rational thought, they had only one thought left: to escape, to escape as far away as possible.

Lei Xiu, who was at the center of the attack range, remained unmoved. Only his spear, which had absorbed the power of lightning, occasionally flashed with electricity, responding to the provocation of the wind.

Lezhi, oblivious to everything around him, was still fast asleep in his arms, and Lei Xiu's arm, which was still around Lezhi's back, remained firmly in place.

After a brief stalemate, Feng'er impatiently intensified her attacks. Lei Xiu seemed to have finally found the weakness he had been searching for. He swung his spear and delivered a devastating blow, cleaving Feng Juan in two horizontally.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye. Lei Xiu's figure, wielding his spear, was so fast that it was impossible for the naked eye to catch it. With just a finishing move, the matter was already settled.

The once arrogant whirlwind, including the vine nets that the Windwalker Clan had painstakingly cultivated, was completely destroyed by that one blow. The storm dissipated, and the sunlight shone down. Only Lei Xiu, holding Le Zhi, remained suspended in mid-air, his spear already sheathed, as if everything that had happened had nothing to do with him.

"Lei Xiu, how is Le Zhi?" Qing Jin, who was watching from a distance, saw Lei Xiu looking around for his clansmen. She quickly suppressed her shock and led her people to get up and go forward.

"He hasn't woken up yet, and I don't know what's going on. We need to get back to the clan quickly." Lei Xiu showed no joy at surviving the ordeal. He hurriedly gave instructions to Qing Jin, and before Qing Jin could react, he wrapped his arms around Le Zhi, who was still strapped to him, and led the way towards the Fengxing Clan's territory.

"Qingping, get the team together and follow. We're going back to our clan immediately."

"Yes."

At his command, everyone on the periphery immediately sprang into action, quickly following Lei Xiu as they raced into the clan's territory.

The group quickly disappeared, leaving behind a mess for time to slowly repair.

After a long while, an unexpected creature appeared in this place that had been ravaged by both wind and lightning.

Its bright feathers stood out against its surroundings. It explored the somewhat desolate place, a thoughtful look flashing in its wide, round eyes.

Besides the lingering aura of lightning in the air, the strange bird and beast also caught a whiff of something that excited them.

The threat posed by the lightning caused the strange bird-beast to hesitate for a long time. Perhaps unable to resist the temptation, the strange bird-beast finally chose to chase after the direction in which Lei Xiu and the others had disappeared.

The Windwalkers, who had used their fastest speed in their lives to keep up with Lei Xiu's speed, discovered for the first time that their pride in their speed was not an isolated case.

At least for Lei Xiu, it wasn't something to be particularly proud of.

Whether they felt embarrassed or not, the Windwalkers kept their heads down and kept moving forward for the rest of the journey, without saying another word.

Meanwhile, Qinglin and Lechu, who had already received news that Lezhi and his group had encountered a tidal storm on their way, had gathered together to prepare for the rescue. Before they could even assemble, they received news that Lei Xiu had returned with the unconscious Lezhi, causing another round of chaos.

After settling Lezhi in a familiar treatment area, Qinglin and Lechu learned the whole story from Qingjin. Lechu was also exasperated by Lezhi's ailment of being "favored" by the tidal storm.

"Leshan told me before that Lezhi seemed to have a special connection with tidal storms. I thought it was just an exception, but now it seems I was underestimating it." With a wry smile, Lechu felt a throbbing pain between her eyebrows.

Their perfectly good cubs, of all things, had to attract tidal storms. How was he supposed to defend against that?

"Um, well, let's not jump to conclusions right now. Maybe it was just an accident..." While saying comforting words, Aobayashi was actually inclined to believe that Lezhi had a tidal storm attraction constitution.

It's important to understand that while the chances of a tidal storm occurring in the jungle are not nonexistent, they are negligible. Furthermore, Lezhi's previous sensations on the Qiyun Plains indicated that he had some unspeakable connection with the tidal storms; otherwise, how could we explain the tidal storms following him wherever he went?

Although this was only the second time it had happened, every tidal storm was a disaster, and they couldn't possibly send Lezhi on a risky mission just because of this question. So they could only learn from what had already happened.

The high frequency of these events already speaks volumes. Therefore, everyone present understood that Qinglin was simply trying to comfort Le Chu.

Although he knew Qinglin was just trying to comfort him, Le Chu accepted the kindness. He also held onto a sliver of hope that, in case something really did happen, it might just be an accident.

"Forget it, let's discuss this later. What's the current situation with Lezhi?"

"I don't know. Lei Xiu only said that Le Zhi couldn't be woken up, and didn't say anything else."

Can't wake him up?

What are the symptoms?

With her brows furrowed into a deep frown, Le Chu strode into the inner room. Lei Xiu had already placed Le Zhi on the large bed, and the bundle on his body had been untied. The fur ball and the baby bird, who were also fast asleep, were taken out and placed beside Le Zhi.

"Lei Xiu, how is Le Zhi?"

Lei Xiu glanced at Le Chu, who was quietly approaching beside him, and shook his head. "She's still not awake. No matter how I call her, she won't wake up. Even Maoqiu is like that."

"How could this be?" Le Chu tentatively stepped forward and squeezed Le Zhi's palm, only to find that Le Zhi did not react at all, and her eyes were filled with undisguised confusion.
