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

Chapter 94 Abnormality

The battle didn't last long. Before Leshan and the others arrived, Lei Xiu had already almost brought the situation under control by himself. With Leshan and the others joining, the momentum was like a whirlwind. Le Zhi only managed to secretly distribute some dried meat to the hungry tribespeople around him to fill their stomachs before the mournful chirping of insects had already faded into the distance.

By the time Lezhi finished the jerky in his hand and fed it to Maoqiu, there was almost no sound around. The speed at which the insects were defeated was completely inversely proportional to their initial ferocity.

Only when a safety signal came from afar did Leshan relax and clap his hands.

"Alright everyone, pack up, we're getting ready to head back."

Le Shan casually pulled up Le You, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, and was about to pick up Le Zhi, who was still looking bewildered, when Lei Xiu, who had rushed back, beat him to it.

At this moment, Lei Xiu had already put away his weapon, his body still covered in the lingering blood aura. However, the bloodlust in his eyes, which had been directed at the Zerg, was completely submerged by the gentleness when he saw Le Zhi sitting unharmed in the protective circle of the group.

"Zhizhi..."

"Rayshu, you're back."

"Hmm." Lei Xiu seemed not to notice Le Shan's outstretched hand, and strode forward, supporting Le Zhi under his armpits with both hands and pulling the little Le Zhi and the fur ball in his arms into his embrace.

"Tweet~"

Compared to Lezhi's slowness, Maoqiu was more sensitive. It sensed the strong blood aura on Leixiu from afar. It was a little unhappy about being so close to him, but it didn't dare to protest loudly. It could only chirp softly.

Lei Xiu ignored that weak protest. If it hadn't been in Le Zhi's arms, Lei Xiu wouldn't have even seen the fur ball.

At this moment, Lei Xiu only had eyes for Le Zhi. Confirming that the little person he held in his arms was warm and not flustered, Lei Xiu finally let out a soft sigh.

"I am back."

The neglected Leshan and the Leyou team witnessed this scene. The Leyou team members, who originally wanted to go forward to thank Lei Xiu for saving their lives, wisely stopped and gave space to Lei Xiu and Lezhi.

"team leader……"

After cleaning up the battlefield, the guards who had fought earlier landed in twos and threes. The commotion of the newcomers alerted Lezhi, who was still being held back by Lei Xiu.

Noticing Lezhi's head moving around in his arms, Lei Xiu loosened his arms slightly, allowing Lezhi to leave his embrace. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that his arms were not completely withdrawn, but still slightly encircled behind Lezhi, clearly in a protective posture.

The observant Leshan did not miss this detail. Remembering the clan chief's instructions, Leshan did not say much, but instead organized the team and prepared to lead everyone back to camp.

The rescue team returned safely, receiving cheers from the tribespeople who remained at the camp. The insect swarm had come so suddenly that no one had had dinner yet, so while discussing their harrowing experience, they quickly built a fire and began roasting meat.

The only good thing about this insect attack was that there was no shortage of food; we could eat whatever we wanted. After sending some members of the guard team out to clean up the battlefield and collect the spoils, Leshan frowned deeply.

Looking at Lezhi, who was surrounded by his clansmen, and Leixiu, who was like a shadow behind him, Leshan thought for a moment and then walked closer.

"Lei Xiu, do you have a moment? I need to talk to you about something."

Upon receiving a signal from Leshan, Lei Xiu immediately understood that Leshan wanted to inquire about the details of the insect attack. After glancing at Lezhi, who was happily cooking surrounded by everyone, Lei Xiu nodded. After confirming that Maoqiu was right next to Lezhi, he got up and followed Leshan to a secluded spot.

"What do you think of this attack?" Le Shan saw that Lei Xiu didn't want to leave Le Zhi for too long, so he asked directly.

“This is not normal.” Lei Xiu stated his thoughts succinctly and directly.

Sure enough, nodding, Leshan affirmed, "I feel the same way as you. These insects are too abnormal. In the past, we were only attacked by insects when we encountered tidal storms or when a member of our tribe was separated from the group. This time, we were attacked without any warning. Although it's not a big problem for us, it's really strange in every way."

"Hmm, continue to observe. If it's not an isolated incident, send someone to investigate." Lei Xiu lowered his eyelids, a dark glint flashing in his eyes.

Because Lei Xiu's expression was so matter-of-fact, Le Shan subconsciously nodded in agreement. Only after Lei Xiu took his leave did Le Shan realize, "Hiss, was that guy just ordering me around?"

Le Shan raised his hand and touched his chin, thinking about the various rumors he had heard about Lei Xiu. He shook his head thoughtfully. It seemed that those rumors were more than just rumors. Lei Xiu had been silent for too long and was now acting too low-key, making people forget that he was once a famous killing god in Jormungand and the youngest captain of the guard in history.

Ignoring Le Shan's opinion, Lei Xiu finished speaking and strode back to Le Zhi's side. Having just been attacked, Lei Xiu was unwilling to leave Le Zhi for too long, even though he knew she was safe surrounded by her clansmen, he was still worried.

Sitting down next to Lezhi, Lei Xiu subconsciously placed his arm behind Lezhi's back, drawing him into his protective circle, and only then did the anxiety in his heart gradually subside.

"Hey, you're back. You've finished talking to Uncle Leshan." Lezhi, who was observing the stewing meat in the pot, noticed that she was surrounded by a familiar presence. She turned her head to look at Lei Xiu and greeted him softly.

"Hmm, is it cooked?" Lei Xiu responded, not mentioning the content of the conversation, but curiously looking at the bubbling food inside the fruit. After such a long battle, unlike Le Zhi and the others who could still find time to eat dried meat to fill their stomachs, he was indeed quite hungry at the moment.

Since the great hero wanted something to eat, he certainly had to be provided. Seeing this, Leyou and the others sitting nearby quickly handed over the freshly grilled meat they had just prepared, warmly inviting him, "Is Lei Xiu hungry? There's meat here; you can eat some to fill your stomach."

Seeing Le You's eager expression, Lei Xiu shook his head slightly and declined, "No need, I can hold on for a while longer, you guys eat."

The members of the Leyou Squad were all in their late teens, which is basically a group of minors. In Jormungand, the tribe prioritizes feeding minors over young adults. Therefore, Leyou didn't think much of being refused and even gave Lei Xiu a high score for his gentlemanly conduct.

In fact, besides this reason, Lei Xiu, who also had some secret thoughts of his own, turned to look at Le Zhi and said, "Zhi Zhi, have you eaten? Don't just focus on the fur ball."

Lei Xiu poked the furry ball nestled beside Lezhi, pecking at its food, somewhat displeased. He'd entrusted it with taking care of Lezhi, but now it only cared about eating; it was utterly useless.

"I just ate some jerky, so I'm not very hungry yet." Smiling at Lei Xiu, Le Zhi touched the spot where the fur ball had been poked and patted it twice to soothe it and prevent it from getting agitated.

Seeing that the fur ball had been successfully calmed down by the food, Lezhi turned her attention back to the food in the pot.

The next day, they packed up and set off. Leshan specifically reminded everyone of safety issues again. Fortunately, the journey was relatively peaceful for the next few days. They quickly crossed the vast Yunmeng Forest and arrived at Qiyun Plain.
