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

Chapter 402 Leaf Insects Need Sunbathing

Strangely, the bubbles didn't disperse randomly; instead, they were all under Lezhi's control. He inadvertently discovered a new way to play. In the water, the bubbles were like the wind to him outside. Whenever Lezhi wanted, he could use the bubbles as his eyes. By controlling the bubbles, his five senses were infinitely extended in the water.

Sure enough, before discovering any clues ahead, Lezhi sensed something was wrong. Upon seeing that the person approaching was an acquaintance, Lezhi did not make a sound, but simply slowed down his pace.

Lei Xiu noticed it immediately, but before he could even ask, a commotion arose ahead. Looking around, he saw that it was a tortoise waiting in their path.

"What happened?" Cang Jin stepped forward to inquire about the situation, and soon he turned around to explain the situation to Lei Xiu and Le Zhi.

"The turtle wants to come with us." Lezhi had already greeted the turtle through the water bubbles, but she couldn't talk through the water bubbles yet. After hearing the message from Cangjin, Lezhi hurried forward.

By this time, Gui had already made arrangements with Ji Lin and Miao Yin. It was unclear how they reached a consensus, but in any case, before Le Zhi stepped forward, it was already a foregone conclusion that Gui would accompany them.

"Is it alright for the turtle to follow us all this way?" Lezhi himself doesn't like going out, and judging others by his own standards, plus Cang Jin once said that the turtle only likes to deal with minors, but it seems that he is the only minor in their group, which makes Lezhi wonder if the turtle came for him.

The others didn't understand his question. "Lezhi, turtles are free. They don't stay in one place. Every year they go out to hunt or play. They can go wherever they want. We won't interfere, and we can't interfere," Miaoyin explained.

In fact, turtles are good-natured, so they will make a point of greeting others if they want to travel with them. If it were a turtle with a bad temper, it would just follow along without needing their permission.

After hearing Miaoyin's explanation, and seeing everyone's matter-of-fact attitude, Lezhi realized that his understanding of Gui seemed a bit off. He had previously only regarded Gui as the kindergarten principal, which seemed somewhat subjective.

So, with everyone's unanimous approval, their team gained another enormous tortoise.

The advantage is that when Lezhi is bored, he has someone to talk to. Turtles are very familiar with all parts of the underwater world and can describe any scenery or creature they see. This suits Lezhi's taste, as he is a person who loves to think outside the box.

That day, the turtle specially found a little gadget for Lezhi. This gadget was very special, and most importantly, it looked very nice. It would be good for Lezhi to use as a decoration.

Looking at the tiny creature, which was less than half the size of her palm, Lezhi was overwhelmed with cuteness. It was just too adorable!

This insect is soft and glutinous all over, like a translucent pink dumpling. It has no arms or legs and moves by wriggling its body tissues, like the hem of a skirt that is constantly dancing. In addition, it can emit a faint light in the dim water, making the whole creature seem dreamlike and unreal.

If she hadn't been holding this little guy right now, Lezhi would never have known that such a beautiful insect existed in the world.

"A leaf beetle? There's one here?"

Canglong glanced over, then looked away uninterested. They were resting in a bay, busy preparing lunch. He had just seen the turtle return and thought it had brought back something delicious, but it turned out to be leaf beetles.

Tsk, this thing doesn't taste good. Only turtles would bother catching it to make toys for kids. Adults who have entered adolescence are more concerned with the practicality of their prey.

Noticing that Canglong's expression was off, Lezhi asked him and found out that it was because of this. "Are there many of these leaf-shaped insects?" If they don't taste good, the aquatic creatures won't hunt them on a daily basis. Unless there are natural enemies to control them, given the insect race's reproductive ability, leaf-shaped insects would probably become a plague.

“Not much. I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry, this thing just doesn’t suit our taste. In fact, it’s very popular with other insectoids underwater.” Canglong smiled mischievously, deliberately not making things clear, knowing that Lezhi would definitely ask.

Seeing this, Lei Xiu, who had been silent for a while, stopped and pulled Cang Long away from Le Zhi, who was getting closer and closer. Ignoring Cang Long's angry glare, Lei Xiu explained to Le Zhi, "The most special thing about the leaf insect is that whatever it eats will have the characteristics of that thing. This is mainly reflected in its plant characteristics."

Canglong, who was talking to him, was pulled away. Before Lezhi could react, Leixiu's explanation caught his attention. For a moment, Lezhi was no longer in the mood to pay attention to Canglong. Instead, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Leixiu curiously, hoping that he could say more about the Light Leaf Insect.

Lei Xiu's lips curled slightly as he put his hand on Le Zhi's shoulder and led him a little further away to sit on a large rock in the shallows. He then began to explain, "The leaf beetle has a rather eclectic diet, but it mainly eats plants. Whatever color of plant it eats, its body will become that color. Most importantly, because it has been eating plants for a long time, it has incorporated the characteristics of plants. Don't you see how the shape on its back looks like a leaf?"

"Really? Oh, do you mean..." Yuezhi raised an eyebrow in surprise as she thought of a possibility.

Seeing that Lezhi was getting close to the truth, Lei Xiu nodded, "Yes, it's like a plant. When food is scarce, it can float to the surface to bask in the sun and live for a long time just by doing that. It has a very strong vitality. However, Zhizhi..."

“No matter how strong its vitality is, it is still an aquatic creature and still needs to live in water.” Lei Xiu said meaningfully, his gaze moving to the somewhat wilted leaf beetle in Le Zhi’s palm.

"Oh no, why didn't you remind me sooner?"

With a splash, Lezhi flipped into the water. The leaf beetle, which had been enjoying a long drought, quickly regained its energy and began to dance in front of Lezhi again. Sunlight pierced through the shallow water, and the leaf beetle danced endlessly between the light and shadow, its body surrounded by a halo of light, making it look like something from outer space.

The aquatic creatures might have already seen it all before, and they might even find the inedible insect somewhat repulsive. But the leaf beetle was just too much to Lezhi’s liking, and it was a gift from the turtle, so Lezhi immediately decided to keep the leaf beetle as a pet.

Since you're going to keep a pet, you need to understand its habits. Lezhi grabbed the leaf beetle that was still swaying in the light, looked around to locate the tortoise, and then swished its tail and rushed over.

He was so focused on finding the turtle that he didn't notice Canglong approaching.

He deliberately took on the task of delivering food, but he was just one step away. Canglong could only watch helplessly as Lezhi swam away in a flash, his speed so fast it was as if he were born into the aquatic world, easily defeating him, the native.

Helpless, Canglong could only hand over the food to Lei Xiu, who had just entered the water, saying, "Here, this is the food for lunch. I know Lezhi has a big appetite. If this is not enough and we need to continue hunting, you must stay with us and not leave on your own. The high seas are dangerous, and you are not familiar with the environment, so be careful."

It was precisely because of this consideration that Ji Lin had Canglong watch over Lei Xiu and Le Zhi, while the other aquatic creatures were responsible for hunting. Although he knew that Lei Xiu and Le Zhi were very powerful, they were guests after all, and Le Zhi had come all this way to help them, so providing him with food was only right.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

Faced with Lei Xiu's cold aura attack, Cang Long was still not used to it. He nodded hesitantly. It wasn't that he was a coward, but he hadn't forgotten the look Lei Xiu gave him after pulling him away. Cang Long had no doubt that if Le Zhi hadn't been there, Lei Xiu would have challenged him to a fight on the spot. That look clearly showed that he wanted to beat him up.

"No, no, you guys go ahead with your work, I'll head over now..."
