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

Chapter 343 Attack on the Insect Hive

Lezhi considers himself a believer in the equality of all things, and this is especially true in Jormungandr. Even though he knows that insects are inherently opposed to them, he still chooses to respect life without absolute reason.

So when the mountain collapsed, he did not hesitate to save the insects that were about to face annihilation.

Even if they were to become enemies and turn against each other the next moment, at that moment, all things are equal.

But now, seeing these black-eyed insects so indifferent to the deaths of their own kind, Lezhi, as the instigator, felt a strange, inexplicable feeling.

I felt a bit stifled, a bit angry, and in the end, all that was left was desolation.

The insects hiding in the shadows didn't have much peace for long. Behind them, vines had spread silently, and small mushrooms were growing on every branch, silently releasing their spores.

The air was constantly flowing, and the spores were absorbed into the insects' bodies along with the air. Even the insects' bodies were moist and warm, especially the insects' brains, which were the most suitable for spore growth.

It took root, sprouted, and connected with the mother plant—everything happened so quickly.

Before the surviving insects could react, a sudden, excruciating pain struck, and their limbs began to twitch uncontrollably. This pain was inescapable, wave after wave, without a moment's respite.

When the pain reached its breaking point, the insect, which had completely lost its mind, began to bang its head against the stone wall, attempting to fight the pain with even greater agony.

But all of that was destined to be in vain.

The insects parasitized by the mushrooms were in a terrible state, with a series of teeth-grinding impacts that shook the usually quiet bottom of the cliff.

The strange fragrance in the air grew stronger and stronger. After careful observation, Lezhi finally discovered that the source of the fragrance was a kind of pheromone secreted from the bodies of those insects.

Such a fragrance had no effect on plants; the vines and mushrooms showed no reaction. On the contrary, the insectivorous plant, which stayed obediently at the edge of the battlefield, seemed drunk, swaying its large pouch slightly in place, even its hunting seemed nonchalant.

Maoqiu was also affected. Its little black bean eyes lost their former liveliness, its gaze became blank and unfocused, and its head was also dizzy and unable to think.

This is the insects' final blow before they die. In the past, they could always rely on this move to succeed. As long as they are not completely extinct, when the predator is confused by the prey, their roles will immediately change.

The last wave of Zerg had this plan in mind, intending to approach Lezhi. But that tactic didn't work today.

Even if the white light, which showed no signs of weakening, was Lezhi's natural barrier, there would still be entangled vines and mushrooms remaining even if Lezhi was misled into withdrawing its energy.

However, Lezhi did not give them a chance to show off. From beginning to end, apart from being too strong and making Lezhi feel a little uncomfortable with the smell, the strange fragrance did not make any other sense of it.

He had heard about Lei Xiu's plight and prepared several alternative plans as if facing a formidable enemy, but now none of them were of any use.

With its bright eyes darting around, Lezhi was not only unfazed, but even had time to daydream. Looking around, it could see that there were almost no living insects left.

Especially in the shadowy corners, where every mushroom stood, there was a dead insect at its feet. Every time Lezhi saw this, he felt like his eyes had been punched.

The fluffy ball on its head had completely relaxed, with all its weight resting on Lezhi's head. Lezhi immediately noticed this unusual behavior, yanked the fluffy ball off its head and stuffed it into its clothes, and continued walking.

The insects that came to "plunder" the corpses did not get to enjoy the spoils as they had hoped; instead, they suffered the same heavy blows as their kin.

Seeing the escaping insects, Lezhi didn't let them go. He nocked an arrow, taking advantage of the rare opportunity to practice. He wasn't afraid of accidentally hurting others; he wanted to practice his skills.

Having undergone years of exam-oriented education, Lezhi firmly believes that if he can't solve a problem, it's either because he hasn't found the right method or he hasn't practiced enough. Now that he has successfully mastered the basics under Lei Xiu's guidance, all that's left is to keep practicing.

Read a book a hundred times, and its meaning will become clear!

It was a bit wasteful of arrows. Arrows imbued with a flowing light shot out, accompanied by the wailing of insects, as Lezhi charged forward.

The internal structure of the insect hive was far more complex than he had imagined. Already lacking a sense of direction, Lezhi was now completely lost. When your eyes are useless, you have to learn to use your brain.

There's no need to make a special effort to find it. Lezhi only needs to see which direction the insects are blocking him from going, and that's the correct direction to the insect mother.

"whoosh"

Another streak of light flashed by, and the insect blocking the passage watched helplessly as the arrow pierced through its kin, who was a great distance away. A hint of confusion appeared in its dark eyes, but it quickly vanished.

Only Lezhi himself knew that he had missed again and again.

With a slight twitch of its nostrils, Lezhi looked around guiltily, then suddenly remembered that there was no one else there. The only one who could mock him, Maoqiu, was still lost in the beautiful dream woven by the exotic fragrance.

Even if it were to regain its senses now, it would still be equally bad, so neither of them should laugh at the other.

No one had seen it, so Lezhi was relieved. He reached for the quiver, ready to try again, but his fingers missed the arrow.

"Wow, it's all used up so quickly!"

What I hate most is being spoiled when I'm having a good time. Lezhi was just getting into it, and now there's nothing for him to do. How can that not be frustrating?

It felt like an invisible hand was brushing against my heart with a feather, or like being bitten by ants. It didn't hurt, but I just felt uneasy all over.

Seemingly realizing that Lezhi had run out of weapons, the insects felt they had finally found an opportunity. The winged worker insects spread their wings and buzzed as they gathered together.

After being suppressed for so long, even a fool would have figured things out and want to try to fight back. These insects were no exception.

As if they had studied with the insects outside the endless abyss, their familiar insect swarm tactics reappeared. One insect was at the very center, surrounded by other insects in concentric circles, forming a giant aerial missile.

If Lei Xiu were here, he would probably recognize it at a glance. Isn't this the way those insects used to fight against his electric current?

The missiles, composed of an army of insects, charged into the white light without hesitation. The sound of burning flesh and bone rang out. The missiles flew through the air, leaving debris in their wake, creating a rather comical scene.

But Lezhi couldn't laugh.

It must be said that these insects' willingness to sacrifice anything to achieve their goals is admirable, but when they are your enemies, they only become annoying.

Putting away his bow and arrows, he took out his only remaining broadsword. A trace of heartache flashed in Lezhi's eyes, then his gaze darkened. In his white pupils, he saw the huge, black missile rapidly approaching him.

The vines around them danced in the air, and the mushrooms were ready to release their spores at the right moment. However, there were just too many insects condensing their spores into missiles. Their trick was truly cunning. Even with the vines and mushrooms working together, they couldn't completely control the missiles in one go.

After they helped control the perimeter, the rest was up to Lezhi to handle on his own...
