Chapter 98 The Food-Protecting Furball

Having been tricked by Le You and the others, Le Zhi narrowed his eyes, sensing their ill intentions. Even Le Ting, the only one who could clear things up for him, was being controlled and could only blink innocently at him.

Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of Leyou, Lezhi pouted and decided to stop thinking about it. It wasn't lunchtime yet, and Lezhi wasn't very hungry, so she finished the berries in her hand and put them away.

Meanwhile, Leshan, who was planning his route, had also made his decision. He chose a route that was almost a straight line to the Windwalker Clan, wanting to reach the Windwalker Clan as soon as possible.

The fifteen clans of the Treant race have always maintained a friendly relationship because they all originated from the Mother Tree and share the same lineage. Since their birth, there has never been any large-scale conflict. Their common goal is to maintain the balance of Jormungandr.

Shared goals and beliefs have fostered a high degree of unity in the spirit of the Tree Spirits. Their separate settlements are simply to accommodate the different lifestyles of each tribe, while also ensuring the most effective management of each tribe's territory.

To put it simply, the tree spirits only have administrative rights over their respective territories; they are not so arrogant as to believe they own them. Furthermore, because resources are abundant, the tree spirit tribes do not prohibit other tribes from entering their territories to hunt and gather.

As was customary, before arriving at the Windwalker tribe, Leshan would always lead his team to wander around the territory of the other tribe. Since it was a rare opportunity to go out, the types of plants and animals here were not the same as those in their own territory. Taking a detour not only replenished supplies but also broadened the horizons of the younger tribesmen, killing two birds with one stone.

That was the original plan, but the various events that occurred on the way made Leshan somewhat uneasy. So, upon arriving here, Leshan ultimately decided to change the plan and head to the Windwalker Clan as quickly as possible.

With clear instructions from the leader, everyone quickly formed a team, including Leyou and the others who had been slacking off, who were all pulled up. Apart from the leaders, the others didn't need to know the route; they just needed to follow the team.

So the group was bewildered as they were assigned their positions. At Lei Xiu's urging, Le Zhi climbed onto Mao Qiu's back and sat down. Then, Lei Xiu patted Mao Qiu, seemingly engaging in a silent exchange.

Not understanding their stream-of-consciousness gameplay, Lezhi found a comfortable spot to settle down. Before long, the team took off again, heading straight in one direction, officially entering the airspace of the Cloud Mist Forest.

The environment and terrain in the forest are much more complex than those on the plains. Although it doesn't make much difference for them when flying in the air, Leshan, as the team leader, has to consider many things. He needs to be observant and attentive to all directions, eliminate dangers, and find suitable campsites.

With intense concentration, Leshan compared the route to his memory while searching for familiar traces. His ability to lead the team was undoubtedly due to his exceptional skills; familiarity with the route was merely a basic requirement.

Leshan quickly found what he was looking for. Looking at the direction of the sun in the sky, Leshan decisively decided to land. Lunchtime had passed, and there was still some time before evening. The forest conditions were complex, so they needed to allow everyone more time to adapt.

The group landed with Leshan and realized that he had indeed chosen a good location. It was a natural mountain stream with a very spacious cave, more than enough to accommodate their entire group. A spring was nearby, and the sound of flowing water could be clearly heard.

Nestled against the mountains and beside the water, it offers excellent seclusion, making it almost a perfect place to spend the night in the forest. The people in the group visibly cheered upon seeing it, clearly very satisfied with the location.

"Alright, everyone, let's go back to our previous groups and set up our overnight accommodations. Note that if you're going to gather or hunt, you must let me know first. I'll arrange for a guard team to accompany you. No unauthorized actions are allowed." Having learned from past mistakes, Leshan's tone was very serious.

"Understood..." Everyone cooperated very well. The previous insect attack had clearly taught them a good lesson, so no one objected to Leshan's request.

Lezhi, still on the furry ball's back, responded in unison before sliding down the ball's wings. Lei Xiu had already begun helping to unpack the cargo from the furry ball, and Leyou and the others, having chosen a place to spend the night, came over to help.

"Lezhi, after we put our things away, let's go to Uncle Leshan's place to apply for permission to go out and collect things. I just took a look, and many of the plants here are quite different from those in our area."

With a hint of excitement, Leyou's tone was full of eagerness. Not only Leyou was excited, but the tribespeople traveling with him were also very excited. Isn't that the point of going out? To see many things you've never seen before? Lezhi was no exception.

Nodding quickly, Lezhi followed Lei Xiu with light steps. "Okay, Lei Xiu, are you coming with us too?"

"Hmm." Lei Xiu put down the wicker basket in his hand, turned around and took the wicker basket from Le Zhi's hand, responding with a short hum.

"Great! If Lei Xiu goes too, our team's safety will be guaranteed. The other teams are waiting to see which guard is available."

"Yes, thankfully Lei Xiu was there..."

Upon hearing Lei Xiu's reply, the team members who were helping couldn't help but celebrate. Since the last battle, everyone had a general understanding of Lei Xiu's combat strength. He alone was equivalent to several members of the guard team, so as long as Lei Xiu was willing to come along, their trip would definitely be fine.

Leyou was aware of this, of course. He specifically came to ask Lezhi, actually intending to also bind Leixiu to him. After all, Leixiu and Lezhi were always inseparable, and if Lezhi agreed, Leixiu would naturally follow.

With a triumphant smile, Leyou stacked the goods in his hands, then clapped his hands and called out, "Alright, everyone, raise your hand if you want to go collect, and those who don't want to go can stay behind. It's all voluntary. Hurry up."

Since it was a rare opportunity to go out, no one wanted to miss it. After exchanging glances for a couple of seconds, all ten people present, including Lezhi, tacitly raised their hands; everyone wanted to go out.

Not surprised by the result, Le You nodded and said, "Alright, since it's decided, you can prepare here first and clear out some space. I'll go and report to Team Leader Le Shan. Le Ting, you come with me."

Seeing Leyou and Leting leave in a hurry, Lezhi and the remaining group members exchanged smiles.

"Then let's get ready. Leyou should be back soon."

"it is good……"

The place where supplies were stored was guarded by people specially arranged by Leshan. So, with the intention of clearing out the space, Lezhi picked and chose in the space, taking out some large items and supplies that she didn't need to carry with her for temporary storage, to be collected and then retrieved later.

Seeing Lezhi's actions, the fluffy ball, perched atop Lezhi's head, didn't understand his behavior and let out a few puzzled chirping sounds. Seeing that Lezhi had taken out most of the prepared food, the fluffy ball became even more impatient and gently scratched Lezhi's head.

"Hey, fluffy ball, be good." After storing the supplies, Lezhi hugged the fluffy ball that was trying to grab them back, patted its head, and quickly turned to leave.

"We're just leaving it here temporarily, we'll bring it back later, okay?" This was the first time the fur ball had shown such possessiveness towards its food in front of him, and although it wasn't directed at him, Lezhi still found it quite novel.

"I didn't notice the furry ball was like this before?"

Hearing Lezhi's question, Lei Xiu glanced at the furball that Lezhi had soothed with just a few words, "This is the normal behavior of a wild animal." On the contrary, it was abnormal that the furball had never been protective of its food in front of Lezhi before.
