Chapter 349 Immersed Again
Surprised that Le Chu had already thought of this, Yu Yan, who had been indignant since arriving, finally calmed down completely and exchanged a solemn look with Qing Lin.
They knew that Le Chu wasn't making baseless accusations. If things really did get that bad, then not only Le Chu, but they all needed to prepare in advance.
It is their duty as clan leaders to have the best expectations while preparing for the worst.
The blue moon began to visibly weaken from that day onwards. After a night, when the sun rose the next day, Jormungand, which had been shrouded in blue light for so long, finally welcomed the long-awaited warm sunlight.
A warm breeze dispelled the dry chill in the air, and as new buds sprouted from the treetops, everyone suddenly realized that the season of the Ghost Festival had quietly arrived.
The insects and wild birds and beasts did not pay attention to the movements of the tree spirits. After each void resonance, due to the influence of the insect swarm, the number of insects in Jormungand would reach the lowest record in recent years, followed by a long period of recuperation.
Then, when the critical point is reached again, the loop is restarted.
Insects are indeed not the focus of the Tree Spirit Clan's attention right now. With the Spirit Feather Clan, Windwalker Clan, and Longtail Clan joining forces to make a request to their birthplace, the news that Lezhi and Leixiu had entered the Endless Abyss alone spread like wildfire throughout the entire clan in the shortest possible time.
The reactions to the news varied, but everyone began to consolidate their forces and select elites to head towards the Endless Abyss.
They were unaware of the collapse of the Endless Abyss, and even less aware that Lezhi and Leixiu had already drifted away from the Endless Abyss with the current.
……
It's so dark. That was Lezhi's first feeling after regaining consciousness.
It seemed that, just like last time, his consciousness was once again out of his control.
Previously, it became a seed and went through the growth process of a tree. The mother tree said that was the soul merging with the body, so... what is it this time?
Surrounded by darkness, Lezhi tried to raise her hand to look, but found that she had no hands, or rather, no hands at all.
After being expelled from human status, he now seems to have been expelled from tree spirit status.
Lezhi, now a semi-transparent, unidentified object, twitched slightly in place, but failed to move. He sighed inwardly and, with a "splat," gave up and lay flat on the spot.
Having learned from his previous experience, Lezhi was quite calm. The fact that nothing had happened yet only meant that the time was not right. When the time was right, what was meant to happen would happen, and there was no use in him being anxious.
The worst outcome is that things will just continue like this... well, that's still unacceptable.
Since transforming into this form, Lezhi's vision has become completely unobstructed. Without needing to turn his body, he can take in a full 360-degree view of his surroundings.
But it's all pointless; it's all dark everywhere, what's there to see?
His vision broadened, but his senses became dulled. Lezhi tried to sense the energy in his body, hoping to mobilize it, but found that he couldn't feel anything.
He's like an empty shell now, completely devoid of anything inside.
"What the hell have I become?" Yuezhi cried out in his heart and began to study his own body.
The translucent, soft body was easier to control than he had imagined; he could mold and shape it as he pleased. Unfortunately, he seemed to have overestimated his manual dexterity.
I originally wanted to sculpt a hand, but what I ended up with is a bizarre shape. Have you ever seen an apple with five sticks stuck in it? I have.
"Heh, heh..." Le Zhi chuckled helplessly to himself. There was nothing he could do; he had brought this upon himself, so he could only bear it. It was better than nothing at all.
Without dwelling on his own aesthetic sense, Lezhi successfully sculpted limbs by imitating the cat. After several failures, Lezhi finally managed to stand up, albeit shakily, with his uneven legs.
Unfortunately, he hadn't taken more than two steps when he tripped over his own feet and fell to the ground with a "thud".
"Ughhhhhh, this is so annoying! What's going on? Is anyone there...?"
The limbs that had been painstakingly sculpted were thrown and slowly merged back into the body. All the effort had turned into a joke, and Lezhi finally couldn't help but roar out in anger.
His roar shattered the silence. The previously still darkness began to flow slowly, gradually forming vortexes. As the vortexes converged, a giant eye took shape in Lezhi's vision.
The eye was much larger than his current body, an eye full of black shadows, devoid of any emotion, yet Lezhi still keenly sensed the shadow's malice.
Lezhi instinctively sensed that the shadow was gathering strength to attack him, and its purpose, of course, was to devour him, just as it had absorbed the shadow when he cured the Shadow Disease before.
A flash of inspiration struck him, but before Lezhi could even begin to unravel the mystery, the black eyes, impatient and eager to help, rushed toward him after realizing Lezhi was outnumbered and outmatched.
A dark shadow, as dark as the sky, pressed down on Lezhi's head, and in an instant, his small body was completely buried.
The shadowy figures made no sound, but their excitement and impatience were evident from their constantly shifting edges.
However, things did not go as the shadowy figure had hoped. The shadowy figure that was enveloping Lezhi's body originally thought it had successfully devoured Lezhi completely, but gradually, it discovered that things were not like that.
Although Lezhi's new body is small, it is not weak. The black shadow looks fierce and imposing, but when it actually attacks, it's like tickling.
Even Lezhi himself was surprised; these shadowy figures were actually so good-looking but useless!
Well then... don't blame him for being impolite.
Without needing to think, he instinctively knew what to do. From the initial tentative absorption to discovering that his body's capacity to absorb was much stronger than he had imagined, and that no matter how much shadow he absorbed, he was never full, Lezhi officially began the reverse absorption.
From a trickle to a steady stream, and then to a raging river. At first, the shadowy figures didn't realize anything was wrong; they swarmed forward, eager to devour Lezhi, only to find that in the end, they were the ones who suffered the loss.
After Lezhi began to counterattack, the shadowy figures, after being half-swallowed, finally realized what was happening and tried to escape. But by then, it was no longer something they could simply do as they pleased.
Lezhi, whose body had expanded countless times, noticed the shadowy figure trying to escape. Instantly, his transparent body unfolded, and an invisible net opened, blocking the shadowy figure's escape route.
Even after completely encasing the food, Lezhi was still not satisfied. Without any instruction, he learned to stir up trouble, and the dark shadow was swirling and darted into Lezhi's body at an incredible speed.
It's really cool in his mouth.
"Hiccup~"
The shadowy figures within sight were all swallowed up by Lezhi, ending with a burp. The feeling of fullness didn't last long; as the transparent body began to spread and expand, Lezhi felt hungry again. He didn't know hunger when he hadn't eaten, but the fear was that once he started, he wouldn't be able to stop.
Lezhi is currently in this state. After eating the shadow and feeling a rare sense of satisfaction, he subconsciously wants more.
As if in response to his call, strange images appeared in Lezhi's mind. Centered on him, countless rays of light branched out, connecting to small points of light. From these ray links, he seemed to faintly smell the aroma of food.
What are we waiting for? Let's show it all to him...
