Chapter 336 Lei Xiu is missing
The fluffy ball gently smoothed Lezhi's hair with its pointed beak and softly chirped in his ear.
It's okay. At worst, the fluffy ball will never sleep and will act as an alarm for Lezhi. Lezhi's perception will only be temporarily impaired. It can still easily deal with the shadow. It can work together with Lezhi. Together, they are a perfect combination.
"Pfft, thank you, fluffy ball. That's a great idea, but you can't not sleep, or you'll shed."
The idea of using a fluff ball is actually not bad, but it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. If the root cause of the problem is not addressed, it will always remain a thorn in the side.
"Lei Xiu, what are you thinking? Tell me."
"Ah, oh..." Seemingly interrupted from his thoughts, Lei Xiu exhaled a breath of turbid air, looked back at Le Zhi, and said, "No, I don't have any clue either. It's possible that the environment affected our perception, but we can't verify it at the moment."
Lezhi wasn't surprised by this answer; he hadn't expected it to be resolved immediately anyway. "I hope so."
The problem is temporarily unsolvable. Although Lezhi is uncomfortable, she has gotten used to it. After all, life is about constantly encountering new problems and then figuring out how to solve them.
There's always a way. If all else fails, there's always the time factor.
"Okay, I'll observe it further later, but this is really strange, I think..."
The unique landform formed by the cliff bottom is very sound-absorbing. Le Zhi did not deliberately soften his voice, but Lei Xiu vaguely felt that his voice was getting farther and farther away and softer. Upon closer inspection, his entire outline began to become somewhat blurry.
He knew something was wrong and wanted to speak up to warn them, but all the muscles in his body seemed to be out of control. He couldn't even open his mouth, and his arm felt as heavy as a thousand pounds when he tried to raise his hand to pull Lezhi up.
A strange fragrance wafted into Lei Xiu's nostrils, and his consciousness drifted away with it. His body, no longer under his control, broke away from the group.
Cola slept soundly nestled in his clothes, mainly because it trusted Lei Xiu completely. Although they were bird-beast companions, it was still just a fledgling, its only skill being to eat well and sleep soundly. If Lei Xiu could solve a problem, it wouldn't be needed; if Lei Xiu couldn't solve it, then it was even less of a concern.
Lezhi hadn't realized that Leixiu had fallen behind. He was still nagging ahead on his own. So, habit can be deadly. He had long been used to leaving his back to Leixiu, which meant that Lezhi never thought he needed to check behind him from time to time.
After rambling on for a long time without getting a response from Lei Xiu, Le Zhi finally realized that something was wrong.
A draft blew through the room, hitting his back without any obstruction. If the person behind him were someone else, he wouldn't have felt this.
It only takes a moment to sense danger.
Turning around suddenly, there was indeed nothing around. The wind swirled happily around her, seemingly pleased that Lezhi had finally noticed her. At the bottom of the cliff, the wind could only offer Lezhi limited information; its main purpose was to keep her company.
"Where's the Entangling Vine and Lei Xiu?" Le Zhi hurriedly asked, pinching the Entangling Vine on her earlobe, but only received a faint, intermittent response from the vine.
This commotion, like someone who's been drinking fake alcohol, is clearly something's wrong. If it's like this, Cocoa Vine is in even worse shape, completely unable to respond to Lezhi's calls.
Just then, Lezhi felt a sudden weight on his head. Maoqiu also lost consciousness, because the awake Maoqiu didn't weigh this much; they had been together for so long that their familiarity with each other was ingrained in their very bones.
Alertness surged; now was no time to conceal his strength. Terrifying energy boiled within his body, and emerald light exploded from Lezhi's body.
The green light, like flowing water, tightly enveloped the vines and cocoa vines on the furball and braids, its vitality far exceeding their own, invading them inch by inch, washing over their bodies from the inside out again and again.
Under this intense barrage, Lezhi finally discovered the clue.
"What is this thing?" At the same time, something never seen before was found inside the fur ball, the entwined vine, and the cocoa vine. This thing was so small that it could not be detected by the senses at all without the use of energy to cleanse it.
The energy tentacles meticulously enveloped everything they discovered, carrying it out of the bodies of the several furballs and then delivering it to Lezhi's eyes.
Once this thing was removed from their bodies, the condition of the furballs immediately improved, and they soon woke up one after another.
"Tweet~"
The first to wake up was Maoqiu, who realized that she had lost consciousness without even realizing it. Her alarm radar immediately went off, and her cries were full of anger.
At the same time, the sounds of the entwined vines and cocoa vines reached his ears. They also regained their spirits, and their thin, resilient vines danced around Lezhi's cheeks. From the emotions they conveyed, one could sense that they were equally angry.
It was the same last time; they were all on high alert, but they still fell into the same trap twice. It's a disgrace.
"Alright, it's not your fault. The enemy is too cunning. Lei Xiu has disappeared."
Appropriate anger can boost morale, but excessive anger is bad and can easily impair judgment. Lezhi was also angry, but he had one great strength: the bigger the situation, the more composed he became.
He might panic and make a fuss over trivial matters, but most of the time it's because he knows that these things aren't life-or-death crises, so he lets his mind go dormant.
Now things are different. Lei Xiu and Ke Le's fate is unknown, and Mao Qiu and the others have been attacked silently. This has crossed Le Zhi's bottom line.
The eyes, distorted for a moment by the green light, became several shades deeper when viewed again. Any creature would shudder to be locked onto by such eyes as prey.
The unknown creatures that silently took root in the furballs' bodies were no exception.
"Alright, let me see what kind of thing you are."
When anger reaches its peak, it can manifest as laughter, and Lezhi's lips curved into a familiar smile. Although the angle was exactly the same as usual, it felt as if a completely different person had possessed him.
The green light is the embodiment of Lezhi's energy. Although the unknown creature is very small, its energy is controlled by Lezhi. Becoming smaller than the unknown creature is just a matter of Lezhi's thought.
The green light enveloping the unknown creatures did not dissipate. This was a cage that Lezhi had specially prepared for them. There were three orbs of light, and each of the unknown creatures taken from the bodies of Maoqiu and Chanchanteng was one, in a fair, just, and transparent manner.
When the energy was decomposed to its limit, Lezhi's smile deepened. He randomly selected a ball of light and controlled the energy to invade the body of the unknown creature without hesitation.
The exploration process went very smoothly. As I said before, the real threat is the inability to detect them. Once Lezhi becomes aware of their existence, all problems will cease to be problems.
The subtle energy explored the unknown creature from head to toe, and the long-awaited innate abilities suddenly came online, simultaneously providing Lezhi with the answer.
"Spores? This thing is a mushroom!" Lezhi exclaimed softly in surprise. Suddenly, a look of horror flashed in his eyes. If he remembered correctly, this thing would not appear alone. A single mushroom produces hundreds of millions of spores. "Oh no."
Realizing the danger around them, Lezhi immediately expanded the range of his energy. Sure enough, not far from them, the green light caused the spores that had been floating in the air and were invisible to the naked eye to finally be exposed.
