Chapter 179 Wings Take Form! Meeting
The group, who were working hard to grow vines, were startled by this change and looked in surprise at the center of the whirlwind that was emitting a dazzling light.
"What happened? Could it be Lezhi..."
"Shut up, accelerate the generation process, don't stop the energy..."
Qingping stopped Qingze from saying what he hadn't said, her face turning ashen as she increased the energy she was channeling. This was the method he had proposed: by working together, they could create a giant net of vines that could surround the whirlwind. This way, even if the wind wanted to move, it would have to leave its core behind for them.
Being able to join the guard team means that their abilities have already reached a certain standard, but creating such a huge network in a short period of time is also a great challenge for them, especially now that the plan has not yet taken shape and the people who need to be rescued seem to have encountered unexpected changes.
This is just adding insult to injury!
The unexpected turn of events not only alarmed the team members, but also made Qing Jin, the team leader, and Lei Xiu, a family member of the victim, feel particularly uneasy.
Seeing Lei Xiu's hand moving around the chang spear again, Qing Jin quickly said, "Lei Xiu, what are you thinking? No, this is too dangerous."
She and Lei Xiu were confident they could break through a storm of this magnitude, but that was without any precautions. Now the situation was clearly different; with Le Zhi at the eye of the storm, they had to think twice before making any moves. She absolutely could not let Lei Xiu act impulsively like this.
“Lezhi is still inside. He has no ability to protect himself. He only has a bird or beast with him. If you attack him from the outside like this and hit him, then it’s all over.”
"I know."
"...?"
"So I don't plan to attack from the outside."
As if he didn't think there was anything wrong with what he had just said, Lei Xiu grabbed the chang spear, folded his wings, and disappeared from the spot as soon as he finished speaking.
"Wait... Lei Xiu?!" In the blink of an eye, Lei Xiu had already reached the edge of the whirlwind. At this moment, the intertwined vines around them had not yet completely closed, and Lei Xiu took advantage of the gap. With a flash, he rushed into the violent whirlwind, and Qing Jin could only watch helplessly as Lei Xiu rushed into it, unable to stop him at all.
The guards, who were focused on growing the vines, could not neglect their duties without orders, so not one of them stopped Lei Xiu's actions.
As soon as Lei Xiu entered the whirlwind, the gap he had exploited completely closed, and the scene fell silent. Only the Windwalker Clan remained outside the whirlwind, and for a moment, no one knew what to say.
"Captain..." As the initiator and executor of the plan, Qingping braced herself and stepped forward to report the progress to Qingjin, while also asking for the next instructions, "The vines have initially surrounded the windmill as planned, next..."
"Proceed as planned." Qingjin's answer was decisive, without any hesitation.
"Yes."
According to Qingping's plan, wrapping the wind tornado with vines is only the first step. The main event is yet to come. They will continue to grow vines and invade the inside of the wind tornado. It may be difficult at first, but as long as they can hold on and make the vines intertwine with the wind tornado, the wind tornado can be broken through, and the people inside will be safe.
This is a method that requires patience and time, but it is very reliable. Although it is not as efficient as Qingjin and Leixiu's violent demolition, the safety factor is greatly increased, which is why Qingjin agreed to adopt this method.
Right now, what they need most is time. "Hopefully, if Lei Xiu goes in, he can help buy us as much time as possible!" With hope in Lei Xiu, who knows all the plans, Qing Jin's resentment towards Lei Xiu for acting on his own has faded considerably.
If she hadn't had to oversee things outside, she would have rushed in long ago, letting the wind carry Lezhi along—it was practically a provocation against them.
The guards received Qing Jin's orders and, despite having already expended considerable energy in the first wave of spawning, quickly formed a team without any slackening. Those who had been sent back to their clans by Qing Jin earlier had already seen the outline of the clan's territory. Le Chu, Le Shan, and the others, who were anxiously awaiting news from Le Zhi in the Windwalker Clan, were unaware that they were about to receive devastating news.
……
Everything happening outside is related to Lezhi, but Lezhi, as the person involved, is still in a state of unconsciousness, unaware of what is happening outside, and even unaware of the changes that are happening to him.
After the green light guided the formation of four pairs of wings, it converged again at the center of the forehead. In the deep sea of consciousness, Lezhi seemed to merge with the tree at the center of the forehead, feeling the words brought by the wind. Lezhi gently shook the treetop in response.
Suddenly, Lezhi's memories returned, and he recalled all his past and future lives. Wait a minute, how did he turn into a tree again? Wasn't he already a cub of the Spirit Feather Clan?
As his self-awareness gradually became clearer, the light between Lezhi's brows shone brighter. The wings behind him changed once again. The first pair of huge wings, which resembled bird feathers, slowly retracted until they disappeared. Then, the pair of exquisitely beautiful wings with long tails disappeared. Next, the pair of delicate, translucent wings that had been hidden also dissipated with the light.
In the end, all that remained behind Lezhi were the wings that symbolized the Spirit Feather Clan. The other wings receded, giving them space to grow again. The wings trembled gently in a human-like manner, and a second and third pair of wings slowly grew from the wing root of the shoulder blade. Perhaps in Lezhi's understanding, he had only ever seen three pairs of wings at most, so after the three pairs of wings were formed, the wings finally stopped growing. From then on, the wings were completely formed.
As if celebrating Lezhi's full development, the wind gently lifted Lezhi's body, making it float up and down in mid-air. The feathers between its wings were brushed by the wind, turning from messy to smooth. This scene was exactly the same as when Lezhi was playing with the fluff ball, and even the process of smoothing its feathers was extremely similar.
Previously, it was Lezhi who was petting the furball, but now, it's Lezhi who's being petted.
Wings are the most sensitive part of all winged creatures, and this is no exception for Lezhi. So when he realized that his wings were being "harassed" by the wind, Lezhi, who was not yet fully awake, subconsciously frowned. His wings were moved by Lezhi's subconscious and trembled twice before being retracted in a flash.
Without wings, Lezhi became tiny again, easily carried by the wind and swaying in the air.
Having gone through countless hardships and finally managed to break free from the dense whirlwind, Lei Xiu arrived at the edge of the storm's eye at this moment, perfectly missing the scene of Le Zhi folding his wings.
Having finally found Lezhi, Lei Xiu had no time to analyze the strange situation. His first priority was to find a way to get to Lezhi's side.
Behind him, six large, flowing wings flashed by, and sparks seemed to fly as the protective shield clashed with the whirlwind.
With his target in sight, Lei Xiu acted without hesitation, showing no mercy to Feng Juan. He wielded the chang spear with ease, effortlessly slashing it twice, creating a gap in the whirlwind before him. Lei Xiu swiftly passed through the opening he had created, his figure shooting straight toward Le Zhi, who was floating in mid-air.
Before Feng'er could react, Lei Xiu had already wrapped his arms around Le Zhi with his unarmed hand.
