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

Chapter 480 The Birds and Beasts That Can Talk

"...That's how it is. Lie Feng contacted me and found out that they had actually gone to the Golden Armor Clan. I thought I should tell you."

The light emanating from the connected petals of the vine is not noticeable during the day, but becomes particularly striking at night.

The glitter, especially since it came from Lezhi's hand, attracted the birds' attention even more.

The scramble for favor intensified after a brief pause, but he pretended not to see it unless it reached Lezhi's face.

"Okay, I'm with the birds and beasts now. They're only concerned about the shadow, so don't worry too much. The birds are quite friendly."

If someone else had said this, Le Chu might not have believed it, but Le Zhi's words left him no choice but to accept it.

After all, everything that happened proved that the birds and beasts were indeed very friendly to him.

There was nothing to argue about, and Le Chu wasn't the kind of adult who liked to suppress younger generations. "Alright, alright, I'm not worried. With Lei Xiu around, I believe he'll take good care of you. Just be careful not to play for too long and remember to come home."

Lezhi pouted, pressed her eyes to the back of her hand, and buried her face in the fur of the furball. "I don't need him, I can take care of myself..."

Hearing the muffled sound in his voice, Le Chu sensed something was wrong but didn't ask. Instead, she comforted him, "Of course Le Zhi can take care of herself, but it's better with Lei Xiu around, isn't it?"

Lezhi couldn't refute this.

In fact, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to let Lei Xiu stay by his side for so long, so long that it had become a habit without him even realizing it.

He hates breaking habits.

That's exactly it, and it's not for any other reason.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Le Chu didn't press him further. Some questions don't necessarily need answers; it's enough if the person involved can figure it out.

After telling Lezhi about some recent happenings in the tribe, and seeing that it was late, the two didn't talk much more. But once they were sure everyone was alright, Lezhi felt sweet inside, even though she missed them.

…………

The flock moved quickly. Because they disliked Lei Xiu, the birds did not slow down to accommodate him. By the time dawn broke, they were already far from their starting point.

As the morning light shone, the distant, continuous mountain ranges were gradually bathed in golden light, instantly illuminating my eyes, which were a little tired from not having slept enough.

The eyes of all people and animals, regardless of their original pupil color, were now stained gold.

Its daybreak.

Such a magnificent scene was not to be missed by Lie Zhao and his entourage, who were trailing behind the procession.

Fearing that their stalking would be noticed by the team ahead, they kept a great distance from the bird and beast caravan.

Fortunately, the birds and beasts did not leave the plains, but gradually went deeper into the dense forest, an environment that made it easier for them to hide their tracks.

A night passed. Looking at their surroundings, Lie Zhao and his group roughly determined the birds' destination.

"Captain, they might be heading to the Stone Forest."

"Hmm, contact the clan and see who's been patrolling that area recently, and ask if they've noticed anything unusual."

"Yes."

The colorful stone forest is indeed a good hiding place; these birds are quite good at choosing their spots.

Unaware that their hiding place had already been discovered, the birds flew towards the rising sun, their speed increasing as they saw their companions' roosting spot was not far away.

"Lei Xiu, are you alright? Do you want to come up and rest for a bit?"

"嗻～"

Before the person being asked could answer, Maoqiu protested.

Jelly Frog can't fly. Allowing it to come up is already a huge concession. The big guy has wings, so why should it have to carry him? No way, absolutely not! Furball firmly disagrees.

Seeing this, Lei Xiu, who had no intention of agreeing in the first place, deliberately lowered his eyelashes and replied softly, "It's okay, I can still hold on."

He didn't say anything, but there was a hint of tea aroma in the air.

The furball instinctively sensed something was wrong. Its fur bristled from the roots, and its wide field of vision allowed it to instantly lock onto the large creature that made it uncomfortable without having to turn its head.

He has ill intentions and is asking for trouble.

Lezhi didn't think there was anything wrong with Lei Xiu's words, although he involuntarily got some goosebumps on his arms, which he attributed to the low temperature in the morning.

Upon noticing the fur ball's agitated state, he first reached out to pat it to comfort it, then smiled sheepishly at Lei Xiu. Fortunately, Lei Xiu didn't respond, otherwise the fur ball would probably have made a huge scene.

He had forgotten that Furry didn't like anyone else getting close to him except him. The existence of Jelly Frog gave him a slight illusion that Furry wasn't that concerned now. Now look what happened, he's pleasing neither side.

"Alright, alright, it was my oversight. Don't be angry anymore. Thank you for your hard work, Maoqiu..."

“Hmm…”

Feeling wronged, she needs more comfort.

Then, giving Lei Xiu a smug look, Maoqiu was satisfied.

Seeing this, Lezhi apologized to Lei Xiu in her heart again. When she saw him silently shake his head to indicate that he didn't care, Lezhi breathed a sigh of relief and felt very comforted.

"It shouldn't be far. Once we get there, you can get some rest," Lezhi comforted him, estimating that they should arrive today, since the birds had told him it was less than a day's journey.

Lei Xiu: "Okay."

The birds were not lying. Not long after the sun rose, the lead birds and beasts began to call out as they were about to land. Upon hearing the calls, the disorderly yet orderly flock simultaneously slowed down.

Have we arrived?!

Noticing the change in the group, Lezhi poked its head out from Maoqiu's back and looked down.

Below is a vast stone forest with no visible boundaries. Huge stone walls stand everywhere, which are the absolute main characters, and plants can only grow wherever they can find a crack.

Even so, the resilient vines have managed to carve out their own place in the dense stone forest.

Thick vines intertwine and connect the massive stone walls that were originally disconnected, much like muscles connecting bones, making this stone forest appear loose but in fact strangely integrated into a whole.

It resembles a giant stone giant with green blood flowing through its veins.

It resembles a city built of giant stones, with green plants infusing it with boundless vitality.

Even though I consider myself well-traveled and knowledgeable, I was still shocked by the scene before me once again.

"Ah, ah..."

Not understanding the romantic notions in this artistic young man's heart at that moment, the jarring cry of the black bird that led the way instantly ruined the entire mood.

Holding back the emotion that was about to spill from her heart, Yuezhi was left speechless, unable to say anything.

Because he had already heard the cacophony of responses from deep within the stone forest, caused by the calls of blackbirds.

Seeing birds of various species and sizes excitedly coming out to greet him, Lezhi was certain that this was the hiding place his fellow birds and animals had chosen.

"Good eye! You know how to pick a spot!" For a strange moment, Lezhi's attention was immediately drawn to the birds and beasts leading the way.

There's no other reason than that this bird's feathers are so brightly colored that it's impossible for Lezhi not to notice it.

Although the beautiful and exquisite bird of prey has already been mentioned, this bird's plumage is in no way inferior. It is very bright and outgoing, with tender green, turquoise and blue paired with orange and yellow, as if the word "enthusiasm" is embedded on its forehead, making people feel happy at first glance.

A smile involuntarily crept onto Le Zhi's face. Just as he was about to greet them, he saw the bird that had attracted everyone's attention flap its wings, glance at him, then at Lei Xiu, before landing in front of the black bird, opening its sharp beak.

"Why did you bring back two people? Who is Lezhi?"

Lezhi: "…………??"

Lei Xiu: "…………?!"

Have they been out of sleep for too long and are getting tinnitus? Did that bird just start talking...?
