Chapter 325 The Tragic Growth History of Cocoa Vine
The space, which has just experienced a high-power current attack, is filled with charged ions in the air, and any slight disturbance could trigger an electric current.
This is why the fluffy ball dared not approach rashly, but the chick was clearly not afraid. Not only was it not afraid, the chick even squinted its little eyes in enjoyment at the electric ions that could envelop its body.
"Chi chi chi~"
Electric, so comfortable~
As Lei Xiu was lowering his eyes to process the electric current in his body, a clear child's voice suddenly popped into his mind. After hearing the content, even Lei Xiu's usually calm eyes could not hide his surprise.
"Who?"
With eyes like a hawk, Lei Xiu quickly scanned the surroundings. On the battlefield, the last thing one needs is an accident. Even if the voice sounded like a child's, Lei Xiu would not take it lightly.
"Chirp chirp chirp~" Big guy, it's me! I'm here!
At this moment, the areas with the highest concentration of ions are the large black sphere that has withstood all the attacks, and naturally, the area around Lei Xiu, the instigator.
The current started with him, and it will naturally end with him as well.
Even with its head not fully developed, the fledgling knew which to choose first: the large black ball emitting a strange smell or the big creature that had fed it more than once.
Without hesitation, it flapped its wings and rushed towards Lei Xiu in mid-air, its eyes filled with excitement at the prospect of a feast.
When Lei Xiu realized that the person coming towards him was actually a fledgling that should have been well protected, he relaxed his guard and was immediately puzzled.
If he wasn't mistaken, the flashing lights on the fledgling's wings were indeed electric arcs, right?
Is this little guy not afraid of lightning?
After catching the fledgling bird that rushed towards him without hesitation, Lei Xiu didn't see any pain from the electric shock in the fledgling bird's eyes. On the contrary, he got a little cub that kept gurgling on his body and enjoyed absorbing the dissipated electric current.
"Chirp chirp chirp~" That feels good, little one wants more, more~
Another clear voice rang in his mind. Lei Xiu's eyes flashed with light. "More? Does it mean more electricity?"
With one hand free, Lei Xiu tentatively rubbed out a small current of electricity. Just as he was about to call to the chick, he saw a flash before his eyes. The chick had already sensed the current the moment it appeared. Driven by its instinct to snatch food, it opened its beak and stretched out its head, knocking the current out like a strip of meat.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Having discovered that the fledgling could indeed eat electricity, Lei Xiu was curious about its limits, but he didn't dare to feed it too much at once. He could only test it little by little, afraid that he might feed the fledgling something bad and he wouldn't be able to explain it to Le Zhi.
Adults are cautious, while children are carefree. The fledglings had no idea what Lei Xiu was worried about. After discovering that Lei Xiu could conjure food out of thin air, they simply clung to him and kept making the signature fledgling calls for food.
Normally, as soon as it calls like that, the adults in the family will respond immediately, and soon food will be brought to its mouth. The fledgling bird, which has never been hungry, naturally has a very right to ask its own family for food.
"Chirp chirp chirp~" Delicious, I want more~
With a clear and melodious voice and great spirits, Lei Xiu finally realized that this little guy could really eat electricity, which was truly a rare sight in the world.
So Lei Xiu didn't hold back, continuously feeding the chicks with electricity, which made them very satisfied.
While they were enjoying their time together, Maoqiu was still trapped outside, worried sick. It didn't want to stray too far from Lezhi, but it was also really worried about the chick. Seeing that the chick knew to go find Leixiu, it breathed a sigh of relief.
"嗻~"
Upon hearing the sound of the furball, Lei Xiu looked up and gazed at it from afar. In the blink of an eye, the guardianship of the chick was handed over.
With Lei Xiu's reassuring look, Maoqiu was no longer worried. It glanced at the fledgling nestled happily in Lei Xiu's arms, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in its eyes. "You little ingrate, you'll only care about whoever feeds you."
Suppressing the sudden unease in his heart, Maoqiu flapped its wings, turned around, and left the area that made the bird uncomfortable, returning to Lezhi's side.
It had been almost an hour since Lezhi started the subjugation. Maoqiu peeked out and saw that Lezhi looked fine and didn't seem to be having any problems. So he continued to squat in his post and waited quietly for Lezhi to succeed.
In its mind, Lezhi was certain that whatever it wanted to do, it could accomplish it; it was just a matter of time.
Unaware of Maoqiu's confidence, Lezhi's progress was indeed impressive. The unknown plant's willingness to submit was genuine; after Lezhi presented its conditions, it didn't hesitate for long before choosing to obey, opening the power channels within its body to Lezhi.
There's no way around it; even if it doesn't open up on its own, Lezhi can still drive energy to rampage in. By opening the passage, it can at least keep the damage within an acceptable range.
Subjugation and being subjugated are essentially a power struggle.
From the very beginning, the side with stronger energy had a clear advantage. If Lezhi were only slightly stronger, it might have considered a fight, but Lezhi wasn't just slightly stronger; it was significantly stronger, enough to completely crush it.
This level of power is so great that it leaves no room for resistance.
He had unintentionally bullied the weak, but Lezhi didn't care. All his thoughts were now focused on controlling his surging energy, patiently dividing it into harmless streams, gently passing through the path cleared for him by the nameless plants, leaving his own mark.
Through the convergence of forces, Lezhi was momentarily transported to the perspective of an unnamed plant. He saw himself sprout from a seed, overcome countless hardships, and finally break through to see the light of day.
Although the Endless Abyss was extremely desolate, the good thing was that there were no other plants competing with it for living space. At first, it only needed to absorb rain and sunlight to grow. Its branches spread very quickly. Because of its survival instinct, its branches were hidden under the adjacent rocky beach. Even the fruits that grew were almost identical to the stones.
However, such camouflage doesn't seem to be very effective against insects. They don't rely solely on their eyes to find food; their excellent sense of smell allows them to easily and accurately identify edible fruits from a seemingly flawless rocky beach.
Some insects are not even satisfied with eating its fruit; when they are extremely hungry, they will even pull its branches out of the rocky ground and eat them.
At first, it was powerless to resist and could only watch helplessly as the insects ravaged it. Fortunately, it grew rapidly, which allowed it to pull itself back from the brink of extinction time and time again.
With ample food, the insects began to multiply unchecked, and their population grew larger and larger.
Just when its growth rate could no longer support the survival of the insectoids, the Blue Moon arrived. The insectoids seemed to have lost their minds, their eerie blue eyes flashing, and one by one they left the place that imprisoned and protected them.
The insects that left never returned, and the insect race and its habitat returned to balance. The nameless plant seized the opportunity to expand its growth range, and the insects were not to be outdone; they always reproduced so quickly.
Time has little meaning for plants, especially in the Endless Abyss. It seems like only a blink of an eye, and the plants and insects have reached a point of ebb and flow again. As if they had foreseen all of this, the Blue Moon arrived once again as scheduled.
This happened several times in a row. It seemed that each time, the Blue Moon would appear at the right time. It and the insects were as if controlled by an invisible hand, and they were always in a stage of balanced development.
Plants have become accustomed to this kind of life; as long as they can survive, they don't care what's happening in the outside world.
After years of growth, the plant's tendrils finally broke through the rocky beach and reached the edge of the Endless Abyss. Its instinct was to expand and spread infinitely, and even the canyon of the Endless Abyss could not stop its progress. But this time, it seemed that things were not as simple as it had thought...
