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

Chapter 329 The Entangling Vines Taking Root Everywhere

The activity of the twining vines successfully diverted Lezhi's attention. Mainly, there was no need to continue observing the carnivorous plant. After verifying his results, Lezhi prepared to open up a new battlefield.

The first mutation of the Entangling Vine made it more agile. Next, it seems that we can make some breakthroughs in its strength and flexibility. As for what method to use, looking at the insects that are arrogant because they have hard armor, Lezhi had a very wicked idea.

Lezhi tilted his head and gently rested his ear against the vine. Through physical contact, the plant could better understand his meaning and the energy could flow more smoothly.

After transmitting his thoughts to the Entangling Vine and receiving a swift response, Lezhi waved his hand, and invisible energy flowed into the Entangling Vine, which was engaged in fierce combat below, bringing instructions from his true self.

Originally just a violent strangling predator, the vines have adopted a new evolutionary direction. Their tendrils, coiling around their prey, tighten layer by layer, only to suddenly break off segment by segment at opportune moments.

At first, the insects were delighted by the slightly loosened bindings and tightened their grip even more. But gradually, one after another, the insects let out painful cries and their bodies rolled involuntarily. Even though the vines binding them had loosened, the insects did not join the advancing force. Instead, they continued to tighten their grips in place, as if they were enduring great pain.

When Lezhi, who was inspecting the results from a high vantage point, saw this scene, he knew that his idea had worked.

One of the great characteristics of vines is that, given the right conditions, every branch, and even every broken leaf, can grow new roots.

This is also the guarantee of their vigorous vitality.

The Lezhi amplifies this characteristic. After catching its prey, the newly evolved Entangling Vine will instinctively seek out the prey's weakest points, such as the eyes, ears, mouth, and... well, well-known places.

After finding these weak points, the vines can branch out and use these areas as soil to take root and sprout again. The power of plant growth is immense; they can even push aside boulders that weigh millions of times their own weight, all for the sake of continuing the miracle of life.

Lezhi made full use of this, strengthening the rooting ability of the vine and maximizing its toughness, so that even the long claws and sharp mouthparts of insects could not easily break through it.

This ensures that once an insect is entangled by the vine, it will be unable to break free on its own. Incidentally, these insects can also become nutrients for the vine.

He discovered that plants that have eaten insects grow exceptionally well; for example, the caterpillar fungus looks much stronger than other plants.

"So, a balanced diet is essential for healthy growth..."

Seeing that the first batch of Entangling Vines had achieved the expected amazing effect, Lezhi raised his hand and touched the Entangling Vines' main body, urging it to quickly transform the other Entangling Vines into their proper positions. With the Entangling Vines' main body managing them, he wouldn't have to worry about it personally.

After receiving a warm and affectionate response from the vine, Lezhi turned her attention to her friends.

With the fur ball constantly by his side, Lei Xiu's pressure was greatly reduced. Without Le Zhi as a target, he could find a moment of respite between battles to fly up into the sky and rest.

Seeing that Lezhi had finished her work, Lei Xiu flew closer with the fledgling bird. There was still some residual electric light on his body, so he stopped restrainedly a few meters away from Lezhi.

The fledgling bird peeked out from Lei Xiu's clothes and chirped at Le Zhi, as if greeting him.

"Zhizhi, you're awake. How are you? Are you alright?" He was very worried.

Without needing to say it aloud, just by looking at Lei Xiu's restrained yet eager physical movements and the overflowing warmth in his eyes, Le Zhi could understand Lei Xiu's unspoken meaning.

No matter what, it's always heartwarming to be thought of and worried about. Lezhi smiled and looked at Lei Xiu, who was a little disheveled from the long battle. "I'm fine, everything is fine. How about you? I hope the insects that the shadow clung to didn't cause you any trouble!"

"It's alright, I can handle it." This wasn't just bravado; it was the truth. With his preparations, Lei Xiu could manage to escape unscathed, even if he couldn't completely eliminate the shadow.

"Hmm." Lezhi had confidence in Lei Xiu's combat strength, so she didn't ask any further questions. Seeing the fledgling suddenly become so affectionate with Lei Xiu, Lezhi's heart stirred slightly, and she asked without thinking, "Are you planning to become partners with the fledgling?"

"Why do you ask that?" Haven't they always been partners and family?

From Lei Xiu's eyes, it was clear that he didn't understand her meaning. Le Zhi smiled and explained, "I fed it with Mao Qiu before because I didn't want it to die. But I already have Mao Qiu, so my plan has always been to give it a free rein or find it a partner that both of us are happy with once the chick can take care of itself."

At this point, Lei Xiu finally understood what Le Zhi meant. A thought struck him, and his previous doubts were now clear. "So, that's why you haven't named the chicks yet."

Surprised that Lei Xiu could think of this, Le Zhi raised an eyebrow, then understood, "Well, I don't know if birds and beasts have their own names when they live in their own groups. Even if they do, it's not something outsiders can know. As for me naming it..."

Turning to lean against Maoqiu, Lezhi continued, "Then there's even less need for that. From beginning to end, I only intended to have Maoqiu as my only bird-beast companion, and no one can replace him. Naming is such an intimate matter, it's better to leave it to the person with whom he has a bond."

He's always been like this—seemingly affectionate but actually heartless.

She might choose to save the young birds and beasts out of momentary pity, but she set strict boundaries from the very beginning. In Lezhi's heart, Maoqiu has always been unique.

Lezhi hadn't mentioned it before because it assumed Maoqiu knew. It wasn't until later, when Lezhi had a fight with Maoqiu in the cave, that it discovered Maoqiu's secret jealousy. Maoqiu thought it had hidden it well, but in reality, Lezhi had already found out.

So now Lezhi has chosen to speak frankly and openly, also to put Maoqiu's mind at ease.

Between the fledgling and the fluffy ball, Lezhi chose the fluffy ball without hesitation. There was no suspense; in his heart, the fledgling could never compare to the fluffy ball.

Sensing the unspoken meaning in Lezhi's words, Maoqiu's eyes softened so much they seemed to melt, enveloping Lezhi entirely in its gaze.

"Yes, sir~" In the bird's heart, there has always only been joy~

Upon hearing Maoqiu's honest and enthusiastic response, Lezhi couldn't suppress the smile on her face. Unable to hold back any longer, Lezhi opened her arms and gave Maoqiu a close hug.

"So, Lei Xiu, what do you think? Do you want to be partners with the fledgling? I've been observing it for a long time, and the fledgling doesn't seem very interested in other members of its kind. It seemed more comfortable in the bird and beast tribe. I was originally planning to find it a bird or beast foster parent when we got back, but now it seems to have chosen you first!"

Lezhi exchanged glances with the fledgling in Lei Xiu's arms and saw a look of bewilderment in those little black bean eyes.

Was it really just an accident?

Raising an eyebrow, Lezhi didn't delve into it further. After all, it would belong to someone else in the future, and he couldn't be bothered with such trivial matters.

Looking up at Lei Xiu, it wasn't just Le Zhi who was waiting for an answer; Mao Qiu also understood what Le Zhi meant and stared intently at Lei Xiu.

Finally, there's a chance to relinquish custody of this little brat. Although it's not a very far one, as long as it's not Lezhi, it doesn't matter to Maoqiu who it is.

So, since it emits electricity, are you going to say yes or no?
