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

Chapter 322 Head-on conflict

The momentum of the insect army changed after that strange cry, and Lei Xiu, as the first line of defense, noticed it immediately.

However, he did not panic. No matter what the insects had planned before, or why they had changed their minds, none of that mattered, because Lei Xiu had never intended to do as they wished.

It's just war!

The chang spear in his hand seemed to sense the sudden surge of fighting spirit in its user. Its long, dark shaft trembled slightly and emitted a buzzing sound, as if it were responding to Lei Xiu.

"You couldn't resist either, could you?" *Buzzing sound*

"Alright, let's go all out today." He and Changqiang had been suppressing their feelings for far too long, and had almost forgotten what it felt like to gallop across the battlefield last time. Now was the perfect time to reminisce.

"Let them know that encountering us is their misfortune." In fact, if it weren't for the unreasonable bug that was the shadow, Lei Xiu's hundreds of years of life would have been a triumphant journey of victory.

Forced into silence for so many years, Lei Xiu's spirit was not worn down. On the contrary, in the daily battles against the shadows, he forged himself into an even more indestructible force.

He is now stronger than before he was injured, and this strength refers not only to his physical condition but also to his mental fortitude.

The chang spear in his hand moved with fierce speed. Facing the insects that couldn't wait to swarm him, Lei Xiu showed no panic on his face. Instead, he remained calm as always. Only in his ever-flickering eyes could one occasionally glimpse a blood-red excitement.

Unlike Lezhi's naivety, Lei Xiu's movements in wielding the chang spear were precise and beautiful. Where the spear tip passed, it brought a clanging sound like metal clashing against metal, but more often, it was the thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

Compared to the former, the latter is clearly more feared by the Zerg.

Because every time that sound rang out, it meant that at least one member of their clan had died by that chang spear.

Yes, at least, Lei Xiu's attacks in battle may seem reckless, but in reality, every move he makes is extremely methodical. Not only does he never miss, but he can always find the right angle to ensure that each attack can achieve two or even three kills with one shot.

This was only when he used pure physical force to crush them, without using any innate abilities. These swarming insects were already completely suppressed by Lei Xiu and could not cross the line.

It wasn't that no insects tried to break through, but often, just when they finally found an opening, Lei Xiu's spearhead would arrive in the next second, as if he had deliberately left it there for them to squeeze through.

After this happened several times, even the most fearless person would be terrified.

The moment the first insect hesitated to advance, it signaled Lei Xiu's first victory.

Having successfully suppressed the first wave of attacks, Lei Xiu took a moment to look back. Le Zhi was still in the same position, and Mao Qiu and the chicks were also staying safely in front of him, in a guarding posture.

Great, he can buy Lezhi some more time. There's no fixed time for taming plants; the whole process can be completed in a few hours, or it can drag on for days and nights. It all depends on the talent of the person doing the work, the level of the plant, and the cooperation between the two parties. There are many factors that affect the time.

From the moment he decided to subdue Lezhi until now, it has been less than half an hour. In Lei Xiu's memory, no one has ever succeeded in such a short time. Therefore, from the moment he discovered that the insect had the intention to attack, he had already made up his mind that no matter what, he would do everything he could to buy Lezhi enough time.

So no matter what the insects are planning, whether it's to drive them away or to fight them head-on, Lezhi is not going to move, so Leixiu only has one option.

Fight, fight until he can no longer fight!

The insects, having regrouped and returned in blood, faced an even more determined Lei Xiu. A conflict between the two was imminent, and even the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

As a reserve force, the furball, which had been watching from the rear, also sensed that the atmosphere had suddenly become much quieter. It understood that this was the result of a stalemate between two evenly matched sides.

They only need a small trigger to break the balance.

But Maoqiu never expected that this opportunity would come from the little chick behind him who should have been as quiet as a chicken.

"Ah sneeze~"

A crisp, loud sneeze became the battle cry. It was unclear whether Lei Xiu or the bug moved first, or whether they moved together, but in the blink of an eye, the furball saw Lei Xiu and the bug locked in a fierce battle once again.

Lei Xiu was in charge of preparing the clothes for the family members. Le Zhi was young and had light hair and eye color. No one knew whose advice Lei Xiu had taken, or it was just his own aesthetic sense, but the clothes he prepared for Le Zhi were all in bright colors.

That's all fine. Tree spirits generally love beauty and enjoy dressing up, especially the Spirit Feather Clan, whose hair colors are so varied they're like a giant dye vat. Therefore, Lezhi accepts her colorful clothes well and has never complained. She wears whatever is given to her.

On the contrary, he himself always wore all black, with at most a few dark purple accents on the collar or hem, which were barely noticeable unless you looked closely. If it weren't for the different styles of his clothes, people would probably think he never changed his clothes.

When he goes hunting with the hunting team, his all-black attire has become his trademark, and most of the time the insects they hunt are more brightly colored than him.

However, he was too strong, so no one dared to cricket in front of him.

But now, Lei Xiu, dressed entirely in black, charged into a swarm of dark insects. If it weren't for the occasional afterimage of his chang spear dancing, Mao Qiu wouldn't have been able to tell where Lei Xiu was.

"Chirp chirp~" He said, "The feathers aren't bright, which is bad for fighting and courtship. Just you wait!"

As a bird-beast that is naturally obsessed with beauty, Maoqiu's aesthetic sense is almost identical to that of the Spirit Feather Clan, favoring bright colors. Of course, it is quite satisfied with its feathers, which are extremely similar in color to Lezhi's hair, and it has no intention of changing them.

However, if it were to choose, it would prefer to look at beautiful people and things, so Lei Xiu has never met its aesthetic standards, which is probably why it has never been able to get along with Lei Xiu!

If it weren't for the fact that it couldn't beat Lei Xiu, hmph...

Thinking of the fledgling behind me, I wonder what it will look like when it grows up. It seems that I can't send it away anytime soon. I hope the fledgling will grow up to be aesthetically pleasing, whether it's like that bird that wants to cover itself with all colors, or like it and Lezhi, which are simple and pure. Just don't let it look like that dark-skinned guy over there.

One aesthetically displeasing flaw in the home is enough; there's no need for another eyesore.

While Lei Xiu was engaged in fierce fighting ahead, his nose suddenly itched. Taking advantage of the moment when he pierced three insects with his spear, Lei Xiu sneezed loudly, then flicked his wrist and continued to swing his thrusting spear, his movements completely unaffected by the sneeze.

In the brief interval, Lei Xiu secretly glanced sideways at the calmly watching Mao Qiu, his eyes full of warning.

He still has time to play with crickets. It seems it's time to find something for Maoqiu to do, otherwise he'll be bored to death.

Just then, more and more insects arrived from afar, and he was preparing to unleash a powerful attack. A thought flashed through his mind, and an idea immediately formed in Lei Xiu's dark purple eyes. He glanced up at the sky; a few clouds drifted faintly in the high heavens—not many, but enough. Confirming that the weather was on his side, a strange smile curved Lei Xiu's lips.
