Chapter 495 The Cave Dwelling Clan, Xuan Yue
Chapter 495 The Cave Dwelling Clan, Xuan Yue
The pain brought Nanfeng back to his senses. One shoulder was restrained, but he could still use his other hand. He forced himself not to let the disappointment overwhelm his reason and struggled to raise his hand to save himself.
The next second, Lezhi's figure and voice arrived in front of me at the same time.
The stinging light stung his eyes, and suddenly his shoulders felt lighter. The insects that were clamping him were torn apart before they could even cry out.
"Are you alright?" Lezhi asked with concern as she turned around.
Nanfeng did not answer. Having escaped danger, he couldn't help but fall into a state of despondency.
There was no time to comfort him, because everyone was like that, including Lei Xiu.
"Cola, Furball, you two can't do much, just keep an eye on them. Jelly Frog, I'm counting on you too."
After instructing the animals to help, Lezhi simply grabbed Nanfeng and threw him hard, making sure the landing point was within the protection range of Cola and the others, and then left it alone.
So, Lezhi took charge of dealing with external attacks, while Maoqiu, along with Cola and Jelly Frog, took charge of defense and caught the companions that Lezhi had rescued. Before long, the insects realized that this was not a place where they could run rampant, and they all wisely retreated.
Once he was certain that no insects would be foolish enough to attack him in the short term, Lezhi finally had a moment to check on the others.
He handed the warning to the small animals and went to Lei Xiu first.
Seeing Lei Xiu's bewildered and terrified eyes, Le Zhi felt the same way, but she couldn't let herself get carried away at this moment.
A sudden surge of immense loss overwhelmed them, and after experiencing immense initial pain, all the tree spirits realized what had happened.
But this is no excuse for despair. The mother tree is in trouble, and the place of birth has disappeared. They still have to find a way to survive. Only by living can they solve the problem, right?
Lezhi raised his hand and pressed it against the back of Lei Xiu's head, unable to bring himself to speak harshly. Although he hadn't been in Jormungand for very long, he knew very well what the Mother Tree meant to the tree spirits.
If it weren't for their sake, he would have turned against the Mother Tree back when his body was being reshaped.
Forehead to forehead, he tried to give Lei Xiu some strength in this way, and after a long silence, he said, "Zhi Zhi..."
"Yeah, I'm here!"
"The mother tree..."
"I know, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, at least I'm here, and there are other people here too. Let's work together to find a solution."
Opening her eyes, Lezhi locked her gaze on those dark purple eyes, her expression more resolute than ever before. "It's okay to panic, but now, you need to pull yourself together."
Dwelling on pain will not help anything.
…………
After comforting Lei Xiu, Le Zhi didn't have much patience for the others. She produced a sufficient amount of chocolate fruit and had Mao Qiu and Ke Le help by directly stuffing it into the mouths of the injured people, regardless of whether they would choke to death.
Choking, that's exactly what I want.
There's a saying that goes something like this: there are two things that people can't hide: love and a cough.
Love is too ethereal and intangible, but Lezhi still has a way to make them cough.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Because the movements were so rough, quite a few people were successfully choked, and one by one, they all created a symphony of coughs.
It must be said that although this method is unorthodox, it is indeed effective.
"Cough cough, Lezhi, cough what did you give us to eat... cough cough..." Because Nanfeng looked the most seriously injured, Lezhi stuffed the most fruit into his mouth. A lot of the fruit pulp went into his trachea, and he coughed so hard it was heartbreaking.
"Help! Look, the wound is starting to heal. Don't worry, I would never hurt you..."
As everyone gradually came to their senses, upon hearing Lezhi's explanation, they realized they hadn't intended to pursue his somewhat rough behavior. However, after discovering that Nanfeng's wounds were indeed beginning to heal, they instantly switched sides and sided with Lezhi.
Just kidding, this unknown fruit is just as effective as the sap from the mother tree. Lezhi is really doing it for their own good. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for him to keep such a precious fruit for himself?
It's not a waste to use it to choke someone to death.
Speechless after being rebuked by his own people, he was torn between frustration and disappointment, unsure whether to feel more pain, but at least he was no longer stunned.
"Alright, now that you're all awake, let's get ready to go."
After looking around and confirming that everyone was present, Lezhi clapped his hands and naturally took over the command.
Everyone agreed that reaching the cave dwellers as soon as possible was the best option at this time.
Nanzhi rallied the team, intending to replace Nanfeng as the leader, but Lezhi stopped her.
Looking directly into Nanzhi's questioning eyes, Lezhi crossed one arm over her chest and pointed to the sky with the other, "We won't go forward; we'll go up from there, it'll be faster."
But above is the Fufeng Plain, where hurricanes never cease!
Oh no, he said Lezhi was the most rational, but it seems he's the one who's been hit the hardest!
…………
At the same time, more than a dozen vine flowers bloomed in the cave dwelling area where the mother and child vines were located. Some responded, while others remained in a state of being in contact but not connected. Xuan An did not hang up and let them keep calling out.
After hanging up the conversation with Le Chu and confirming that everything was alright in the Lingyu Clan and the situation was not serious, Xuan An raised his hand to wipe his face and forced himself to come to a quiet residence.
"knock knock"
After a long while, a response came from inside the house. The closed door slid open silently, and Xuan Yue stood in front of the window. Xuan An walked in, and she did not turn around.
After a while, a soft voice sounded in the room, "How is it?"
"We haven't been able to contact the Kunling Clan, Biluo Clan, and Leiting Clan yet. The situation on the other sides is under control, and the injured clansmen have all received treatment. It's not beyond repair, but everyone's condition isn't very good."
Needless to say, Xuan An himself could sense that his tone of voice was not as forceful as usual.
Xuan Yue was in better condition than him, and there was no difference in their voices for the time being. It was also possible that Xuan An was not in the mood to distinguish them.
"Got it, where is Lezhi now?"
"When we last contacted them, they had already reached the Fufeng Plain. If all goes well, they should arrive in as little as five days."
Five days is still too long.
"If you can get in touch with them, tell them to do it as soon as possible. Okay, you can go now..."
"What if other people request to speak with you?" Sensing the implication of dismissal, Xuan An took a small step forward, his tone hesitant.
Xuan Yue didn't answer, she just waved her hand. Xuan An opened his mouth, wanting to ask again, but in the end he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Silence returned to the room, and Xuan Yue stood there for a long time before letting out a soft sigh.
Everyone wanted to get the answer from her, but even if they knew the answer, what difference would it make? Some things can't be solved just by knowing them in advance.
For example, the Biluo tribe is dying out relentlessly, and their birthplace is disappearing.
Even if they had known in advance, they couldn't have stopped it from happening. The mother tree had done everything in its power, but it was only barely clinging to life.
As a race created by the gods, the most tragic thing is the death of the gods. That's why the Mother Tree did this. Knowing the truth, I only gained the power to choose in advance.
Meanwhile, outside the cave dwelling territory, the guards, who were enduring immense pain but still had to stand guard at the entrance, were suddenly startled by a cry of surprise that overwhelmed their somber mood.
"Look, what is that?"
"What... my mother tree..."
In the distance, a dark shadow suddenly appeared, flying towards the clan's territory at an extremely fast speed, and the guards instantly became alert.
"Be alert."
Could it be an insect infestation?
With questions in their eyes, everyone stared intently at the spot. As the dark figure drew closer, the expressions on their faces gradually changed from serious and attentive to surprised and curious.
Lezhi, who was controlling the wind to travel, had already seen the gate of the clan's territory, but time was of the essence, so he had the wind bring them right up to it before he suddenly stopped.
Nanfeng and the others had just gotten used to their initial screams when a sudden emergency stop almost made them lose their composure again.
Suppressing the urge to unleash a torrent of curses, the group helped each other to their feet, and by then the guards at the gate had already recognized them.
"Nanfeng, Nanzhi, what are you doing here?"
"Ah, it's a long story. Open the door, Nanfeng of the Longclaw Clan, escort Lezhi to his destination!"
