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

Chapter 488 Unexpected Event, Emergency Departure

After contacting Snow and the tribe, and learning that Lezhi had resolved the issue of birds and beasts, Lechu asked them about their upcoming itinerary.

The Golden Armor Clan and the Spirit Feather Clan are not too far apart. According to the current schedule, Lezhi should be able to reach the clan soon. I believe that after hearing this news, his friends will be looking forward to it. Lezhong will probably go into seclusion again so that he can show off his recent achievements to Lezhi.

At the same time, Lei Xiu also received a communication from the Thunder Clan.

"explain."

"Lei Xiu, people from the Biluo Clan have arrived. Something may have happened to the Mother Tree..."

Lei Xiu paused, stirring the stewed meat, and turned down the heat. He frowned, curled his fingers, and gently tapped the workbench.

He guessed that Raine must have something urgent to contact him at this time, something related to the Mother Tree and involving the Azure Clan...

A sense of foreboding flashed through my mind. "What are the details?"

Accustomed to Lei Xiu's conciseness, Lei En organized his sentences, trying not to say a single unnecessary word, "The City Above the Clouds is responsible for patrolling the edge of the continent. Yunling sent people to report that in recent years they have discovered that the edge areas are becoming increasingly desolate, seemingly showing signs of degradation."

At first, they weren't too worried. Every few decades, this would happen in the borderlands. Soon after life disappeared in one place, more new life would take its place, creating a continuous cycle of life.

But this time was different. "No new life force appeared, and the old life force not only continued to dissipate, but even showed signs of spreading. Yun Ling sensed something was wrong and has already led people to check other places..."

The news coming back so far is not very optimistic.

Everywhere, life is fading to varying degrees, and the mother tree is withering away.

Upon hearing this, the knocking stopped, and the fingers pressed against the edge of the table, the knuckles turning white from the force. "Have they notified the Kunling Clan?"

"I already said so, I've already sent someone over."

"I understand. Let me know when there are results."

"Okay, what are your plans? I've contacted the place of birth, but there's been no word from them yet."

When he mentioned his birthplace, Renn's brow twitched, and a deeper sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

"I'll discuss it with Zhizhi and speed up our journey as soon as possible. We'll be close to the cave dwellers soon, and maybe we can get some information from Xuan Yue. Did Xuan An reveal anything?"

All the high-ranking officials knew that Xuan Yue and the cave dwellers were guarding the most important thing in Jormungand, and it was because of this that Xuan Yue had never entered a deep sleep.

Given the current situation, it's estimated that only Xuan Yue can glimpse some of the truth.

"No, he said that Senior Xuan Yue has hardly left her home in recent decades, and he was very worried. He thought that Senior Xuan Yue also wanted to return to the embrace of the Mother Tree."

"Senior Xuan Yue has found a successor?"

Otherwise, why would Xuan An have such an idea?

Suddenly, Resh realized that Rein had clearly meant something in his words.

He believes that Lezhi is...

“Yes, Senior Xuan Yue has never paid so much attention to any junior, so Xuan An guessed that it might be.”

This is not good news. If Le Chu knew that the cave dwellers coveted the Spirit Feather Clan, she would probably jump three feet high and bring her people to kill them immediately.

"So this is because Chief Lechu was not informed."

At that time, Xuan Yue contacted the Kunling Clan through a single-line communication and did not let the other clans know. Xuan An only found out by chance.

However, these are all just their speculations at the moment, and the ultimate purpose will only be known when they meet.

…………

The cave dwellers had the indoor lighting dimmed to its lowest setting, making the vines' radiance stand out even more.

Xuan Yue opened her eyes, but the blooming vines before her still did not respond. She sighed softly, not withdrawing her energy, hoping that it would bring her a surprise at some point.

"Dong dong dong..."

Xuan Yue seemed to awaken from a dream, straightened her clothes, and said, "Please come in."

As she spoke, the door slid open, revealing a bright outdoor light. The person entering was backlit, making it impossible to see their face.

From the man's figure, Xuan Yue knew his identity; no one else would visit at this time.

"Xuan An, come in and speak."

With permission granted, the tall figure stepped inside, and as he entered, the room gradually brightened.

"what happen?"

"The Biluo Clan discovered something amiss and informed their allies. The Kunling Clan has also set out. There has been no news from their birthplace for a long time. Xuan Yue, we can't hide it anymore..."

"........."

“Sigh…” Xuan Yue looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Under the moonlight, her exquisitely sculpted features remained delicate, her skin was smooth, and her flesh lines were smooth. However, the occasional vicissitudes revealed in her eyes indicated that her actual age did not match her appearance.

"Is it time yet?"

Upon hearing this, Xuan An did not answer. He knew that Xuan Yue was not asking him.

A gentle breeze swept by, ruffling Xuan Yue's hair and softly brushing against her ears.

Feeling her mother's gentle touch, Xuan Yue had found the answer.

"Is Yuezhi still with the Golden Armor Clan?"

"Yes."

A deep voice echoed in the room, and Xuan An's posture became even more respectful.

"Have Nan Yun send someone to pick him up; I need to see him as soon as possible."

…………

The next day, after a good night's sleep, Lezhi and the family's pets were all full of energy.

Just as they were about to have breakfast, Lie Feng suddenly arrived with his men, urging them to set off as soon as possible.

"The cave dwellers contacted us last night, needing you to set off as soon as possible. The long-clawed tribe is already heading this way. We'll set off immediately and should be able to meet them on the way."

Lezhi just arrived yesterday, and today we're already urging him to leave, but there's a reason for this, and I can't worry about that now.

If it were someone else, they would probably guess that the cave dwellers were suffering from a shadow disease, which is why they were in such a hurry.

Lezhi, however, thought differently. He glanced at Lei Xiu, then at Lie Feng. Behind him, Lie Zhao and Lie Zhi looked perfectly normal. They were probably just following orders and seemed completely unaware of the inside story.

But the other two, his intuition told him, definitely knew something.

"...Alright, let's set off now." He didn't want to go against them at this time; he wanted to see what these two were up to.

None of the group members were procrastinators. Once they said they were leaving, they quickly got ready. Lezhi was like a gust of wind, only briefly circling the Golden Armor Clan before turning and leaving.

This trip came suddenly, with a tight schedule and heavy workload. Perhaps because of this, the atmosphere in the team was not as lively as before.

Lie Zhao changed his team, doubling the number of his previous group, bringing the total to twenty, making for a grand and imposing procession.

A day after leaving the Golden Armor Clan, the old familiar bird that had disappeared suddenly reappeared. It didn't cause them any trouble, but simply stayed behind the group and refused to leave.

Apart from the black bird leading the way and the brightly colored birds, the others that were faintly visible in the forest were those that had stayed behind from the original group.

They didn't leave, which surprised Lezhi as well.

The dense jungle swept past beneath his feet, and in a fleeting glimpse, he saw many plants he had never seen before. While Yuezhi was certainly interested in these novel plants, there simply wasn't time for him to examine them closely during the day.

In the evening, the guards took over most of the work, even preparing and delivering the food.

Lie Zhi stopped joking with him and always looked serious when he was with Lie Zhao, either on guard or arranging work.

Lezhi couldn't even be alone with the birds and beasts for a while. Lei Xiu wanted to come along, and Lie Zhao had to bring people to keep an eye on him from a distance, making sure he wouldn't leave their sight.

"Is this how you look after a child?" Speechless for a long time, but unable to say that Lie Zhao and the others were wrong, Le Zhi could only tell herself to be patient.

The birds were very perceptive. Noticing Lezhi's displeasure, the brightly colored bird boldly spoke up, "Lezhi doesn't want to be with them, we'll take you away..."
