Chapter 478 Leaving the Fiery Plains
With the consent of the Golden Armor Clan, they were sent to help Lei Xiu, and Le Zhi began to handle the aftermath.
Sometimes it's better to keep things simple.
They find this place, visited by bird and animal droppings, disgusting, but the plants don't.
After rummaging through the inventory, Lezhi took out the seed that Leyou had generously sponsored before, which initially seemed useless but was now the most suitable for use.
Lavender, when mature, will bloom with small purple and white flowers. When Leyou gave it to him, he specifically mentioned that although the fragrance of lavender is not overpowering, it can mask other smells, which is perfect for the current situation.
Leyou didn't give many seeds, just a small handful, not even enough to fill Lezhi's palm. But these things are like weeds, with strong vitality and a short growth period. Even if left unattended, they will quickly spread as long as the environment is suitable, let alone with Lezhi's special cultivation.
Even though he was gone, the crowd who had been keeping an eye on the situation didn't notice anything big happening from Lezhi. In the blink of an eye, a sea of flowers quickly spread out from in front of him.
Before they could even gasp in surprise, the sea of flowers had already taken shape, its delicate fragrance masking the pungent smell of the excrement, and the surrounding air was instantly refreshed.
Everyone felt the same way: a sense of lightness throughout the body, as if their mud-covered body had been cleaned.
They didn't even leave any empty spaces in the campsite untouched; with the energy of Lezhi, they weren't afraid to compete with succulents.
But Lezhi will not allow them to expand indefinitely.
This is, after all, the territory of succulents. If there are no natural predators to control the invasion of alien species, it can easily lead to an overpopulation.
Lezhi meant to help, but he didn't mean to make things worse.
Carefully controlling the spread of lavender was not difficult for him; it just required meticulousness.
The flowers bloomed and faded, and the lavender grew in this way for several cycles, until the open space was completely renovated and no longer had any dirt.
After pushing the last wave of lavender to its fullest potential and waiting for them to wither, Lezhi leaves behind a handful of seeds, reclaims all the remaining life force, and turns the remnants into soil to nourish the earth.
Thus, his governance work came to an end.
Before they knew it, it was time for them to set off.
Blackbird managed to freeload a meal and successfully blended in with Furball and Cola, becoming an unofficial member of Lezhi's group.
Seeing the birds gathered together chirping, Lie Zhao and the others could only ask Le Zhi to find out the purpose of the black bird's appearance here.
Not for any other reason than that, in case something happens, maybe they can help.
"Okay, I understand. I'll ask and let you know later."
Liezhi was in charge of communicating with Lezhi. Seeing that he agreed without saying anything and had just helped them tidy up the campsite, Liezhi was filled with gratitude and didn't know how to express it.
"Thank you so much. It's inconvenient to do this while I'm out. I'll definitely visit you in person to express my gratitude when I get back to my clan."
Seeing that Lie Zhi was getting more and more serious, Le Zhi quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite. At the same time, he secretly decided that it was not advisable to stay with the Golden Armor Clan for long.
Having finally shaken off Liezhi, Lezhi went to chat with the birds and try to get information out of them. Before he could say anything, he heard Leixiu call him to set off.
Unfortunately, we had no choice but to set off first and then look for an opportunity later.
…………
At the border of the blazing plains, a patrol team used the dense forest to conceal themselves and observe the flock of birds and beasts not far away.
"What's going on with these birds and beasts? Not only did they suddenly migrate here, but a large flock of them are just sitting here doing nothing. I wonder what they're up to?"
"Who says otherwise? This is a difficult matter. We can't fight, but if we go and chase them away, we're afraid of causing trouble. Sigh, what's the clan saying? Has the clan chief heard anything?"
"No, I heard the clan leader is planning to contact that person from the Spirit Feather Clan to inquire about the situation, and we're still waiting for news..."
"Why contact the Spirit Feather Clan?"
"Are you stupid? Have you forgotten the rumors that circulated before? The Spirit Feather Clan is not what it used to be; they're much more powerful now!"
"Oh, I remember now. Hmm, so it's just a rumor?"
"If it weren't true, why would it be circulating? Don't you think about that..."
"........."
The rustling sounds suggest that the team is in a relatively relaxed state overall.
After all, the humans, birds, and beasts just stayed there peacefully and didn't cause any trouble. As long as they didn't provoke us, there wouldn't be any major chaos.
Once the tribe confirms that they have no special purpose here, they might let them leave, so everyone is still in the mood to chat and joke around.
Their attitude also represents the attitude of the vast majority of the Golden Armor Clan.
Including Lie Feng, who had just contacted Le Chu, he not only learned from Le Chu the purpose of the birds and beasts appearing here, but also learned a story that would shake his soul for a long time.
"Are these birds and beasts really as intelligent as you say?"
Different races can come together against their nature for a common purpose.
Even the bird-like creature that was said to be able to mimic speech was so shocked that his pupils trembled as a result.
The vine blossoms shimmered, and Le Chu's calm voice came from within, "Believe me, they are far more intelligent than you imagine. Lie Feng, never underestimate any creature. They have lived with us in Jormungand for so many years, they naturally have their own wisdom for survival. We knew far too little about them before."
The sigh was both soft and heavy.
Having experienced so much in such a short time, it seems as if he had wasted the previous few hundred years. Le Chu's words are both a reflection and a source of comfort.
Their conversation remained unknown to outsiders for the time being, and the birds and beasts did not cause any major chaos.
Time always flies when nothing is happening, and as the sun completes its journey for the day, Lezhi and his group are about to leave the Yanyang Plain.
The sandy land is no longer barren; scattered plants have begun to appear.
Before arriving, Lezhi finally learned from the black bird the purpose of its presence there.
The answer was both logical and unexpected.
It was related to him, and it could only be related to him.
Having learned the answer, Lezhi didn't rush to tell Liezhi and the others.
We set off a little later than planned today, and didn't rest along the way. There was nowhere to rest on the last stretch of the road, so we had to leave the Yanyang Plain in one go.
The horizon began to curve, no longer flat. Before the sun set, Lezhi and his team successfully completed their mission and reached the edge of the Blazing Plain.
As the distance closed, Lie Zhao was the first to notice something was wrong.
Lie Zhao raised his hand to signal the team to stop, and stared at the scene before him, speechless.
Further into the forest, the patrol team spotted Lezhi and his group. Seeing them confronting the birds and beasts, the patrol team could no longer hide.
"Quickly, quickly, send a message to the clan. Why did they have to come back at this exact moment..."
The standard patrol team consists of three people: one person goes to make communications, while the other two nervously watch the standoff ahead.
With Lie Zhao around, they could have easily watched the show without worry.
Even if the clan chief were present, if a conflict were to break out, they would still have to follow Lie Zhao's orders.
The tension stemmed mainly from the large number of birds and beasts, and also from the fear of disrupting the tacit understanding between the two groups to avoid interfering with each other.
When Lie Zhao first saw the number of birds and beasts, his heart sank for a moment, but he wasn't stupid. He quickly connected the dots with the large black bird that had inexplicably appeared on the plain.
Looking back, the team members stopped where they were ordered, except for Lezhi, who went against the grain and came to the front of the group.
He sat cross-legged on the back of the furry ball, his back straight, his arms crossed over his chest, and he looked a little embarrassed.
This scene feels so familiar, as if it happened just recently.
He rubbed his index finger against the bridge of his nose twice, half-closed his eyelids, stole a glance at Lie Zhao, and then quickly looked away, stammering, "Um, I was just about to tell you, they... they must have come looking for me!"
