EBE Chapter 405 The Thoughtful Turtle
Chapter 405 The Thoughtful Turtle
Miaoyin had no time to pay attention to Jilin. Lezhi had already started the mushrooms to produce spores. With the help of Cangjin and Canglong, the gathered clansmen looked at Lezhi with burning hope in their eyes.
After three days of almost non-stop travel, they finally arrived at the Hanhai Clan. The Hanhai Clan's territory was somewhat similar to that of the Lingquan Clan, but because it was close to the deep sea, most of their territory was underwater, with only a small portion exposed above the water.
The people of the Hanhai tribe live primarily in the water, but living in the water doesn't mean there's water indoors. Windows and doors are covered with a film of water to keep the water out, keeping the interior dry and warm, which is very convenient.
Such a strange house structure would have piqued Lezhi's curiosity for a long time in the past, but now, he had no interest at all.
Lezhi urgently needed to do something to distract himself, so he immediately proposed to start working as soon as he arrived, not wanting to waste a single moment.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to them, Miaoyin approached Lei Xiu and asked in a low voice, "Lei Xiu, what's wrong with Lezhi these past two days? Has something happened?"
Miao Yin was completely baffled. For the past two days, the group had been inseparable and constantly on the move. What could possibly go unnoticed by so many eyes? But he couldn't find any other reason to explain the drastic change in Le Zhi's attitude.
Lei Xiu's eyes were deep and still, and after a long while, he finally answered, "It's nothing."
"Nothing's wrong? How could that be? If nothing's wrong, then what's wrong with Lezhi...?"
Shaking his head, Lei Xiu turned to stop Miao Yin with a look, "He's fine, he's probably just thinking. Don't disturb him." After saying that, he turned back to look at Le Zhi.

"This is the accommodation arranged for you. If you need anything or if there is anything you are not satisfied with, please feel free to contact me." After escorting Lezhi and Leixiu to their destination, the person politely introduced the accommodations and then quickly left.
Aside from the clan chief's special instruction not to talk too much, the most important reason was that these two guests were really a bit frightening. Even the most skilled warriors in the Han Hai Clan wouldn't put this much psychological pressure on someone when they were at their most enraged.
All the patients with the Shadow Disease in the Han Hai Clan have successfully grown mushrooms, and the chocolate fruits to replenish their talent losses have been distributed. Yuezhi has finished dealing with important matters and is finally willing to follow the arrangements to return and rest.
Although their expressions remained unpleasant, at least Yuezhi didn't persist in her stubbornness, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zhizhi, are you hungry? Do you want to wash up first? Chief Ji Lin has prepared the ingredients. I'll cook. We can eat when you're done cleaning up." After taking a general look around the house, Lei Xiu was most satisfied with the fresh ingredients in the kitchen. Seeing Lezhi nestled in the living room hugging her fur ball and spacing out, he simply offered his suggestion.
Although Lezhi's state is not commonly seen by outsiders, Lei Xiu, as Lezhi's roommate, is quite familiar with it. When Lezhi is tired or has something on his mind, he will be expressionless. At this time, his perception of the outside world will be greatly reduced, and he will be immersed in his own world.
Based on his experience, dealing with Lezhi in this state is simple: just leave him alone. Tell him what to do, and he'll do it if he wants to, otherwise he won't. Once he's absorbed enough energy or figured out how to handle the trouble, he'll naturally return to his normal state.
Others find Lezhi scary because they are used to his smiling demeanor and assume that he must be angry if he doesn't smile. That's why they overreact. In reality, he is just thinking or simply spacing out.
An angry Lezhi is not like this at all. If others were lucky enough to see Lezhi angry once, they would not confuse the two states.
Sure enough, spending so much time eating and living together wasn't for nothing. After hearing Lei Xiu's words, Le Zhi was stunned for a long time and moved rather slowly, but she still did as Lei Xiu suggested.
Watching Lezhi carry the furball into the room, Lei Xiu turned and went into the kitchen. He placed Cola on the flower stand in the living room, where she was catching up on a nap. Beyond the transparent water membrane lay an underwater world adorned with coral reefs and sea anemones, where various brightly colored creatures swam. This was already within the territory of the Han Hai Clan, and all the creatures present had been selected by the Han Hai Clan, posing no threat to the Tree Spirit Clan.
Whether it's corals, sea anemones, or various fish and shellfish, they all belong to the category of living organisms. Therefore, the vines in the tribe's territory accept them well. They only reject plants that want to take over their territory. As for other organisms, to put it bluntly, they are all food for the tribe when it matters.
Having dealt with the Wood Vine for so many years, the Tree Spirits naturally knew its nature. Fortunately, the underwater creatures were bizarre and diverse, offering a wide range of choices. Therefore, even excluding plants, their territory was still beautifully adorned with various creatures.
After taking a shower with her mind completely blank, Lezhi wanted to lie in bed for a while, but she just couldn't get comfortable no matter how much she tossed and turned. So she simply sat on the windowsill with her fur ball in her arms, staring at the view and continuing to daydream.
The accommodations arranged for them by the Han Hai tribe were similar to those of the Ling Quan tribe. They were not close to where the tribespeople lived, and there were hardly any other houses or vines to be seen nearby. All that could be seen was the scenery.
At that moment, a colossal creature appeared out of nowhere, and without even looking, Lezhi knew who it was simply by instinct.
I'm not thinking about anything other than turtles.
He was extremely depressed these past two days. Apart from the tortoise, there seemed to be no one else he could confide in. However, the tortoise couldn't offer any constructive advice either. Although it lived a long life, this was the first time it had heard of such a troublesome matter in its long life.
Although it didn't think being able to communicate with the Zerg was a big deal, it was an excellent listener, and fortunately, Lezhiben didn't need it to offer any opinions.
As a friend, the tortoise is not only a good listener but also a reliable playmate. These past two days, Lezhi has been listless, and the tortoise has been taking care of the leaf beetle. It is also an omnivore and occasionally eats vegetables, so when Lezhi is not free, it will take the leaf beetle with it to forage for food.
"Here you are, your little friend has arrived. He's eaten and drunk his fill and is full of energy." The tortoise's large head was almost as big as a window frame. It gently pushed the leaf beetle toward Lezhi with its triangular beak.
After a barely audible thud, the leaf beetle was instantly transported from a water-surrounded room to a completely dry one. However, Lezhi was prepared; a large conch filled with water had been brought out beforehand and caught the leaf beetle perfectly.
He touched the head of the leaf-eating insect with his finger as a greeting, "Thank you, Turtle, for your help."
“No trouble at all, it’s just a side trip. A little guy like that won’t eat much.” After saying that, the turtle paused for a moment, and when it saw that Lezhi didn’t seem to be responding, it continued, “If you’re free these next couple of days, there’s a really fun place nearby that I can take you there.”
Having raised children for so long, the three water-type clans of the Turtle Gang know best how to coax them. The most important thing for children who think too much is to keep them busy; when they are busy, they will naturally have no time to think.
After waiting for a while without seeing any objection from Lezhi, the turtle knew that Lezhi was indifferent to whether he would go or not, so it made the decision directly, "Okay, it's settled then. Ah, that tailless guy seems to be calling you. You guys get some rest today, I'll come pick you up tomorrow." After saying that, without waiting for Lezhi's reply, the turtle leisurely swung its limbs and left.
Just then, a rhythmic knocking sound came from the door; it was indeed Lei Xiu calling him for dinner.
Having moved to a new place and with something on his mind, Lezhi didn't close his eyes all night. He sat by the window all night, unaware of the passage of time, and before he knew it, the next day had arrived.
