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

Chapter 421 Insect King, Who?

"Zhizhi"

"Lei Xiu, Ke Le, are you alright?"

"We're alright." *Chirp chirp*

"........."

The atmosphere gradually became awkward. Given the situation, Lei Xiu couldn't pretend he didn't see it. However, Le Zhi was clearly not ready to confess, and he didn't want to press him for answers.

For a moment, silence seemed to be the only option.

Before Lezhi could come up with an excuse, a few thick-skinned insects slowly woke up and made quite a commotion.

Here comes a ready-made excuse!

Lezhi's eyes lit up. "I'll take care of this. You and Cola can rest and look after Jelly Frog."

Before Lei Xiu could object, Le Zhi waved his transparent wings and rushed over. For speed, he subconsciously summoned the wings of the Windwalker Clan, showing how eager he was to escape.

Upon arriving in front of the newly awakened Zerg, before Lezhi could even decide how to attack, the Zerg slid to its knees, and an unfamiliar voice in his mind made Lezhi pause in his actions.

"Insect King, who is that?"

…………

Valley Clan

"Captain, the patrol team reports that there are unusual movements among the insects in the forest."

"Understood. Have them continue patrolling. I'll lead a team to check it out."

"Yes."

…………

The insects on site gradually woke up, but the situation did not develop as expected. The two who were ready for battle were now, one was directing the insects to line up, while the other calmly set up a pot to cook.

It has to be said that Lei Xiu's mental fortitude is truly unmatched. Even Le Zhi marveled at how, after all this time, it seemed nothing could break Lei Xiu's defenses. Even on the night he confessed his feelings and was exposed by Le Zhi, Lei Xiu remained incredibly composed, always finding a way to solve problems.

Lei Xiu's behavior reassured Le Zhi. Le Zhi kept him within his peripheral vision and turned his attention to what was in front of him.

The most important thing right now is to deal with these bastards who are spouting nonsense.

"Alright, now that everything's settled, let's have someone who can actually get things done come over and say something."

Sitting cross-legged on the head of the jelly frog, Lezhi rarely appeared with a calm and composed expression.

After the first conscious insect called out the title of "Insect King," the other insects seemed to have found their leader and followed suit. It wasn't until the tenth insect blocked them from calling him "King" that Lezhi finally realized the reality: the Insect King these insects were talking about was him.

This wave is aimed at him!

There was no way to hide anymore; the star map in her mind was so dense that Lezhi couldn't even be bothered to count it.

Yes, his attack just now was like a signal to summon the Zerg. The summoned Zerg would call on their friends and relatives, one after another. Lezhi suspected that all the breathing insects in this forest were now rushing towards him.

How could he possibly hide? There were so many insects, comparable to a massive insect swarm. Even if Lezhi traveled at full speed now, he wouldn't dare to enter the territory of the friendly tribe. Otherwise, if the friendly tribe saw these insects behind him, they might think he was going to invade the human tribe's territory.

Skull pain.

After the jelly frog regained consciousness, it didn't blame Lezhi for accidentally hurting it; instead, it became even closer to Lezhi. Although it didn't speak, its attitude showed that it also accepted Lezhi's status as the so-called Insect King.

But Lezhi still wanted to hear what other insects had to say, so this strange roundtable meeting came about.

Upon hearing Lezhi's words, a scarlet frog, though not very large, was chosen.

Talking to it would be inconvenient to stay on the jelly frog's head, so Lezhi thought for a moment, used one hand for support, and leaped into the encirclement of the insect army.

Surrounded by insects much larger than him, Lezhi showed no sign of panic. He leisurely chose a flat rock, sat cross-legged, one hand loosely resting on his knee, the other hand supporting his chin, looking extremely relaxed.

In stark contrast to his relaxation, the more relaxed Lezhi became, the more tense the insects around him became.

The scarlet frog was originally in a normal sitting posture with its upper body upright. As Lezhi jumped down and made a series of movements to find a position, its body lowered lower and lower. If you look closely, it seems that it did not want to raise its eyes above Lezhi.

Or rather, it dares not.

By the time Lezhi settled down, the scarlet frog was already lying face down. And it wasn't just the frog; all the other insectoids around it, including those that arrived later but couldn't get to the front, instinctively lay down the moment they sensed Lezhi's presence.

Even the jelly frog was like that. After Lezhi left its head, it reluctantly puffed out its cheeks twice, and then silently lay down on the ground in a submissive posture.

Even though they were lying on the ground, they were still taller than Lezhi when she stood up, but not a single insect dared to cause trouble.

Because Lezhi's ability to manipulate them has never relied on their size.

"Tell me, what do you mean by this 'Insect King'?"

Seeing these insects kneeling in submission, Lezhi already had a guess in mind, but he still wanted to confirm it. The scarlet frog was fairly logical, but its answer wasn't very insightful.

"What do you mean by saying I am the Insect King? That's too vague. What makes you think that?" Lezhi frowned.

"........."

Upon noticing his anger, the other insects fell silent, barely daring to breathe. The scarlet frog was visibly terrified, but still couldn't articulate why.

What makes it possible? Of course, it's instinct. The worm is innocent; it doesn't understand what the king is asking.

Of course, this isn't the king's problem; it's all the insects' problem.

Finally realizing that these guys couldn't explain it, Lezhi sighed and turned to the jelly frog that had accompanied him all the way. The jelly frog's answer didn't surprise him either; it was still the same old explanation: instinct.

Instinct, to hell with instinct.

Civilizational exchange stops at racial differences, and Lezhi decided not to make things difficult for herself.

Since these insects call him king, let's see just how far this king can go.

As soon as the thought arose, an invisible aura emanated from Lezhi's body. He was unaware of it, only noticing that the insects became quieter. With a thought, Lezhi silently sent a dispelling signal in his mind, while observing the star map in his mind and the movements of the surrounding insects. He wanted to see whether these insects were merely superficially obedient or truly submissive.

The result was both logical and unexpected.

Contrary to his expectations, all the insects obediently retreated, even more silently than when they arrived. In the short time of midday, the area within sight had gone from a flurry of insect heads to a complete disappearance except for the jelly frog.

It is truly spotless. Eyes can deceive, but the star map in your mind cannot. Seeing the stars spreading out like a tide in the star map, I am both amazed and amazed, yet it feels perfectly natural.

The light-bright insect manipulated the water bubble to touch his forehead, as if trying to help him calm down. The fur ball, which had been by his side the whole time, didn't find Lezhi's behavior strange at all; they were just worried that he wasn't smiling anymore.

At the same time, the concerned voices of the Lightbug and the Furball echoed in his mind. Lei, who was in charge of cooking, called him loudly to eat at that moment. Everything was different, yet everything was just as usual.

"Zhizhi, Maoqiu, time to eat."

"Here it comes..." "Chirp chirp~"

After running two steps forward, Lezhi suddenly remembered that the jelly frog hadn't eaten yet. She turned around and silently gave the jelly frog a command. Seeing the jelly frog obediently leave to find food, Lezhi then sat down next to Lei Xiu.

…………

“Captain, there is definitely something wrong with those insects. If I remember correctly, that long-bearded insect was still in its egg-laying period when it suddenly left the nest. Although it returned not long after, long-bearded insects never leave the nest to lay eggs. This is the only exception.”

"Me too. One second the horned frog was hunting, and the centipede was right in front of its mouth. Suddenly it turned around and left without eating. The strangest thing is that the centipede actually followed the horned frog that caught it."

Hearing his clansmen's broken voices as they spoke in despair, Mu Ming's brows furrowed deeply.

Just then, the Zerg made unusual moves. When Lezhi and Leixiu set off, they said that their next destination was the Yougu Clan. Muming was naturally informed of this good news by the clan leader, and the original rendezvous plan was now completely disrupted.

Mu Ming thought for a moment and quickly gave instructions, "Someone, send a message to the clan and report what we have found to the clan leader. The rest of you, follow me. As long as the insects don't attack us on their own, we will try not to make a move. Target: Illusory Mist Swamp."

"Yes."
