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

Chapter 436 The Earth Listener

"What, underground?"

After leaving the Valley Clan, Lezhi and his two companions met up with Jelly Frog, who was having so much fun in the Fallen Star Rainforest. They came across a good water source and decided to stop to resupply and discuss their next steps.

Snow's suggestion made Lezhi exclaim in surprise. He couldn't help but think, "After finally growing wings, I still have to rely on my legs to measure the world. Then I..." The wings weren't for nothing, he had two different kinds of wings!

Seeing Lezhi's reluctance, Snow smiled, but his attitude was firm. "There's no other way. The Kunling Clan's territory is deep underground. If we don't follow the correct route from the beginning, even we ourselves won't be able to accurately locate the territory from the air. Lei Xiu knows this too."

Is that right?

"Yes, the Kunling Clan's territory is even more secluded than the Yougu Clan's. If you want to get in, you have to follow their methods."

"Ok."

Ever since the Youmeng Clan was trapped in the Illusory Mist Swamp, the ancestral lands of these three clans have become increasingly difficult to find. Despite being terrestrial species, their struggles are no less than those faced by Lei Xiu and his aquatic clans.

on purpose?

"What are you thinking about?" Lei Xiu handed the freshly grilled meat skewers to Le Zhi and found him lost in thought again.

"No, I'm just checking the reward given by Chief Muling. This is the first time I've ever seen so many flints." Since the Snow people were still there, Lezhi couldn't possibly say that he had kept the Snow people's clan a secret in his heart, so he made up an excuse.

"However, what can we do with so many flints? How long will we be able to use them?"

Although it was an excuse, seeing the mountain of flint in the space and the giant fluorite standing out from the crowd next to the flint, Lezhi was genuinely troubled.

“You can use it to exchange for supplies, food, daily necessities, and weapons. Flint has a wide range of uses; almost everyone needs it. It’s very useful, isn’t it?” Snow naturally joined the conversation and offered his suggestion.

"Like me, when I went to the Windwalker Clan and the Spirit Feather Clan before, for convenience, I only brought various mineral crystals in my space to exchange for the special products of each clan, and everyone was very happy."

That's a good idea.

"By the way, you haven't told me yet why you went all the way to the Spirit Feather Clan. Was it just to buy food?" Is your foodie nature that strong?

"That's one of the reasons. I don't want to stay in the clan and spend my days picking mineral crystals. It's so boring and I don't want to do anything. I like to travel around and exchange interesting things with others. There are a lot of people in the clan who are too lazy to go out, so I can help them exchange things."

"free?"

“Of course not.” Snow retorted matter-of-factly, raising his right index finger and feigning profundity. “Principle one: there is no such thing as a free lunch; there must be an equal exchange.”

Lezhi agreed, saying, "I agree; it's always better to have a clear price tag than to argue about it afterward."

"Yes."

The two smiled at each other.

"So that means you've been a traveling merchant all this time, all by yourself?" Lezhi was genuinely curious now, since Snow didn't seem to be a very capable fighter.

As far as he knew, normally the clan would send at least two people to deliver messages, but the Kunling clan dared to let Snow venture out alone.

Is it that the clan can't control him, or that they're too lazy to bother with him?

"As the third-place finisher in last year's clan tournament individual competition, if he's not good enough, no one else is. It's a miracle that Si Yi wasn't driven to death by you," Lei Xiu said calmly, his words revealing almost everything about Snow.

Third place in the individual competition? You?

"What, doesn't seem like it?" Snow raised an eyebrow at Lezhi, then turned his gaze to Lei Xiu with a half-smile, "Someone wasn't even there at the time, yet their information network is so advanced." Lezhi didn't ask directly, but he answered so eagerly; some people's behavior was too obvious.

Could it be that the joke I made with the Ghost Valley Clan earlier made him feel threatened?

Seriously? Lei Xiu, when did you become so impatient?

Without avoiding Snow's teasing gaze, Lei Xiu looked back at him warningly. So what if he was getting impatient?

Turning to look at his side, he noticed that Lezhi's once slightly chubby cheeks had become smooth and defined. He was inseparable from Lezhi every day, and if Muming hadn't pointed it out that morning, he wouldn't have noticed that Lezhi had grown into a shape that inspired imagination.

If it were Canglong's confession earlier, he could still see it as childish banter. It was the teasing about Muming and Zhizhi that morning that truly touched Lei Xiu's nerves.

He has already decided that Lezhi is the only one, but what about Lezhi?

Is he still indifferent and observing this relationship? Or does he actually feel a little different about himself?

As they were talking, the atmosphere suddenly became strange. Neither Snow nor Lei Xiu spoke. Le Zhi looked around. Snow just shrugged and spread his hands, while Lei Xiu was unusually lost in thought.

"Lei Xiu, Lei Xiu, what's wrong? What are you thinking about so intently?"

He was throwing flirtatious glances at a blind man, but Lei Xiu held back, managing not to roll his eyes.

Forget it. Ever since they had a frank conversation last time, Lezhi was too lazy to pretend with him anymore. Their relationship seemed to be stagnant, but as long as Lezhi didn't kick him out, he still had a chance. At least he was always by Lezhi's side. Everyone else was nothing.

With a twitching mouth and disdainful eyes, Lei Xiu adopted the air of a grand master.

"It's okay, I'll go feed Cola. It seems like Jelly Frog is back."

"Okay, I'll go check it out."

The two got up one after the other, leaving Snow sitting there, eating his kebabs and lost in thought.

…………

"Wow~"

"Snow, that's enough. You've praised me far too many times along the way."

Dodging the attack, Snow flapped his wings to keep his body level with Lezhi, who was sitting on the back of the jelly frog. "I can't help it, I'm just too surprised."

"How come we never thought of this before? Amphibians have this kind of use. This is clearly the amphibians' habitat. You've only been here a short time, how did you come up with the idea of ​​having amphibians transport you? It's amazing." The amazement was mixed with a hint of indignation.

Lezhi shrugged. "Jelly Frog came to me on its own initiative, so I don't have any experience to share. Why don't you ask it?"

Even if Jelly Frog were to speak, it wouldn't be as if you could understand. Lezhi turned her gaze away, lest Snow notice the schadenfreude hidden in her eyes.

What could he do? He couldn't very well tell Snow that Jelly Frog had realized he could communicate with him, so he offered himself up to be his underling.

It was as if he said nothing at all; he neither shared any useful experience with Snow nor did he incite hatred.

"I'm not stupid." From the very beginning, Lezhi had already told Snow about their encounter with Jelly Frog countless times, and Snow certainly knew that the focus was on Jelly Frog.

However, looking at the Jelly Frog's big, expressionless eyes, Snow resigned himself to his fate and turned to continue leading the way. He figured it was better to find a solution himself; there was no way he could get any answers from asking.

They are still trekking through the rainforest. According to Snow, once they pass through the Sunken Star Rainforest, enter the Red Stone Valley, and cross the Red River, they will officially enter the territory of the Kunling tribe.

Somewhere beneath the endless Great Green Mountains lies the ancestral home of their Kunling clan.

"The Great Green Mountains are vast, and even birds and beasts can easily lose their way. The Tree Spirits will hardly ever enter, so you must stay close to me," Snow instructed mysteriously, his expression very serious, which made Lezhi a little nervous as well.

He was terrible with directions and always relied on his furry friend to find his way. But that Great Green Mountains were so dangerous that even birds and beasts would get lost. If he went in, would he ever come out alive?

"Pfft..."

"Zhizhi, don't listen to his scares. Don't be afraid. Birds and beasts will get lost, but the tree spirits are fine inside. If you really can't find your way, just lie down anywhere and ask for help. The Kunling Clan will hear you and come to your rescue."

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing Lezhi react and glare at him angrily, Snow felt a sense of satisfaction, as if he had finally gotten his revenge. "Haven't you heard? The Kunling Clan are the listeners of the earth..."
