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

Chapter 288 Breaking the Electric Grid

If he dared to say such a thing, Maoqiu would put on a dramatic performance of crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide right in front of him—it's no joke.

Because if it were him, he would have done the same.

It must be said that they have grown up together and have a deep understanding of each other.

Therefore, when Maoqiu heard Lezhi's seemingly apologetic but actually team-up invitation, even Lezhong, who was watching from the sidelines, could see the meaning in his eyes.

That's not it!

Shaking his head helplessly, Le Zhong finally understood where Le Zhi's occasional recklessness came from, given how cautious he was. Just look at Mao Qiu's matter-of-fact little eyes.

Please, that's heavenly lightning! The tree spirits are naturally wood-type compatible and have high tolerance. If they get shocked, at worst they'll be paralyzed. A sap from the mother tree will make them lively and energetic again.

But if birds and beasts are electrocuted, they will be paralyzed at best, and die at worst. Don't be so indifferent to your life, okay?

And then there's this: "Lezhi, let me take care of the baby bird you're carrying. I'll find someone to look after it. Our position is too dangerous."

"This..." Le Zhong didn't say anything, and Le Zhi had forgotten that he still had this little guy in his arms. When the baby bird was obedient and didn't move or make a fuss, it was just like a big rag doll. He hadn't thought about it for a moment.

Thinking about what Le Zhong said, it makes sense. He often entrusted the chicks to other people to take care of when he was doing errands. The chicks should be used to it and shouldn't have any objections.

Thinking this, Lezhi raised his hand to untie the package. Unexpectedly, the fledgling seemed to have sensed something from his conversation and actions with Lezhong. The fledgling, which never had its own opinions, made a protesting cry for the first time.

"Chirp chirp chirp~ Chirp chirp chirp~"

A series of clear "no, no" sounds exploded in Lezhi's ears, startling him into stopping his actions. While he was still in a daze, the fledgling bird had already broken free from its packaging. Its wings, which used to flutter only a couple of times as a prop, had somehow become strong.

With a couple of flaps, the fledgling successfully used its claws to fly from Lezhi's chest, bandaged and all the way, and landed on Lezhi's head, which was once Maoqiu's favorite spot.

"Little one, you can talk now!"

"Chi chi chi~"

"Uh……"

Witnessing the absurd scene unfold before him, Le Zhong was no longer surprised, and even had a feeling that he had expected it. "What, the little brat doesn't want to?" Le Zhong knew that Le Zhi could communicate with Mao Qiu, and the chick was raised by Le Zhi, so it could also communicate with Le Zhi. There was nothing surprising about this.

"Hmm, it seems to know I need someone else to take care of it, so it's protesting! Hehe... Ouch, be gentle, okay, okay, I know you don't want to anymore, don't pull my scalp, it hurts~"

"Ouch~" Hearing Lezhi cry out in pain, the furball, which had been watching the little cub play indifferently, took action. Its eyes sharpened and a low warning rang out, making the fledgling bird, which had already quieted down upon hearing Lezhi's voice, tremble all over.

"Chirp chirp~" A pitiful whimper sounded. From the touch on its head, Lezhi could guess its current state. Seeing its obediently admitting its mistake, Lezhi couldn't help but soften.

"Thank you, Maoqiu. I know you're the best to me. The little one knows he was wrong, so let's forgive him for being stern~" Lezhi got up and flew to the space between Maoqiu's eyes, giving Maoqiu a kiss to express his gratitude. No matter what, Maoqiu's first priority is always himself.

Even when faced with a kitten she had fed, if it accidentally hurt her, Maoqiu remained unmoved.

No one would be happy to be chosen so firmly, and faced with such affection, Lezhi naturally did not hesitate to express her feelings.

Looking at this family—well, this whole family of birds—never mind, they've put on a huge ethical drama. Satisfied, Le Zhong didn't forget his original intention. "So what should we do now, Le Zhi?"

Having made up his mind, Lezhi didn't look back. He saw his own reflection in the dark pupils of the furball. The fledgling bird on his head stubbornly clung to his hair, not enough to cause him pain, but not easy to pull off either, which showed its determination to stay.

The furball's eyes were gentle yet firm, as if it would support any decision the child made and would always stand by the child's side.

This gave Lezhi boundless courage. "Okay, let's leave it at that. We won't be separated. I'll take good care of the chicks, and with Maoqiu helping me, everything will be fine."

Looking at the large white bird that stood like a white fortress beside Lezhi, and the colorful and lively bird that was not far behind it, which did not join the group but seemed to want to stay close to Lezhi, Lezhong nodded. With such a lineup, Lezhi's move this time was indeed not without purpose.

Thus, Le Zhong's proposal was dropped with everyone's tacit approval, and the fledgling successfully achieved her wish to stay by Le Zhi's side.

Now, it's up to Lei Xiu.

Bearing the responsibility of clearing the way for everyone behind him, Lei Xiu's figure rushing towards the electric grid seemed somewhat tragic to outsiders, but in reality, for him, it was just a higher-level training exercise.

Because of their renowned reputation, not many people from other tribes would specifically visit the Thunder Clan. Places like Purple Cloud Ridge, which have a built-in deterrent effect, are even less frequented by outsiders.

So they didn't know that while such a level of power grid was relatively rare even in places like Zixiaoling where lightning was frequent, it wasn't unheard of.

Given Lei Xiu's extensive training, he had naturally seen such things before. Therefore, from the very beginning, Lei Xiu was at least 80% confident that he could successfully breach the power grid.

On the battlefield, a 50/50 chance is enough for people to fight with everything they have, let alone an 80% chance.

The power grid looked right in front of the group, but in reality, it was still quite a distance away. As the saying goes, "Looking at a mountain makes a horse run itself to death," and the human eye can deceive the brain. Therefore, Lei Xiu flew in the air for quite a while, occasionally having to dodge the attacks of scattered lightning.

In his resolute eyes, the entire electric grid became increasingly clear. From afar, the purplish-red electric light appeared, but up close, it was so dazzling that it was almost blinding.

Besides the blinding flashes of light, high temperatures are also one of the inherent attack methods of lightning.

Anyone who has come into close contact with it has no doubt that even a slight touch from this thing would be a disaster.

But Lei Xiu seemed unconcerned about the blatant threat posed by the electric grid. The way he scanned the grid from top to bottom was clearly that of a hunter searching for the weakness of its prey.

The power grid seemed to realize that the newcomer was a tough opponent. The previously flickering network cables trembled slightly, revealing a momentary weakness, but the next second the main body became even thicker.

How could a mighty power grid be afraid of such a mere tree spirit human? What a joke!

Lei Xiu witnessed the entire process of the power grid flickering and dimming, but he didn't comment on it or show any emotion. Unlike Le Zhi, who could have three hundred thoughts running through his mind in a second, he was always very focused.

His gaze never ceased searching for the weakest point in the power grid. At the same time, the chang gun he held behind his back, having long been accustomed to stirring up emotions as he fought against lightning alongside Lei Xiu.

Changqiang's slightly trembling body showed his eagerness, but he was forced to suppress his emotions because Lei Xiu remained motionless, waiting for Lei Xiu to unleash them.

Changqiang didn't have to wait long. Lei Xiu only stayed in front of the electric grid for a few minutes in total, and he had already found several breakthroughs.

The best time to act is always now. Without hesitation, Lei Xiu identified his target and twirled the chang spear in his hand. The seemingly metallic chang spear now resembled a lightning conductor.

The tightly woven electric net was provoked by the chang spear, and Lei Xiu easily broke through it with seemingly little effort.
