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

Chapter 337 The Culprit is the Mushroom

"Damn it..."

Although he was mentally prepared, the number of spores found still far exceeded Lezhi's expectations. Green Light randomly picked up some spores and sent them over. After studying them, Lezhi received neither good nor bad information.

No wonder I was infected silently before, and couldn't figure out how. It turns out that each spore contains a tiny amount of dark shadow inside, and the spore's outer shell provides perfect cover for the shadow. When these spores inadvertently come into contact with the spores as they move with the air, they break open and release the shadow.

Because the quantity was so small, by the time it was enough to cause a crisis, they had already become quite infected.

Fortunately, everyone had prepared plant "armor" before coming down, which allowed them to narrowly escape the first round. However, plant "armor" isn't always useful.

"Parasitic? Sigh, just what I feared most has come to pass." When he learned that this thing was a mushroom spore, Lezhi already had a guess. After comparing the differences between the two types of spores, he became certain of his idea.

These spores remain dormant until they successfully take root, and will not be activated if the environment is unsuitable. However, once they find a suitable environment, they will immediately transition from dormancy to a growth state.

This so-called suitable environment is inside the organism. Whether it's an animal or a plant, they don't discriminate. To put it bluntly, in the end, whatever the host is, it will become nutrients for their growth.

It's no wonder the shadowy creatures combined with the spores; their survival principles are highly compatible, so they hit it off immediately.

"Before, Lei Xiu and I guessed it was the queen insect that was infected, but we were being too conservative. It turned out to be a mushroom, tsk..."

Knowing what was causing the trouble, Lezhi quickly came up with a plan. He grabbed the fur ball and stuffed it into his clothes. As the fur ball tried to pop its head out in protest, Lezhi used his index finger to cover the fur ball's eyes and said seriously, "Don't make a fuss. You can't handle this thing. Stay put. Chanchan, Keke, you two hide too."

Those two were much more obedient than the furball. Without any hesitation, they slipped into Lezhi's clothes through the collar and hid behind his shoulders, completely concealing themselves without leaving a trace.

After tucking his shirt in to make sure that not even the tips of the furballs were sticking out, the green light around Lezhi's body intensified, rapidly spreading outwards from him.

While spores are troublesome, they have one advantage: they can serve as landmarks for Lezhi. The direction with the highest spore concentration is where his target is located.

It's incredibly easy.

His gaze was fixed intently on the left front; wherever the green light reached, that was where his gaze would fall. A flash of wings appeared behind him, and the pure white wings instantly dissolved, becoming long and transparent—the Windwalker Clan limited-edition skin was now available.

With the added speed boost, Lezhi can now travel much faster than before.

Knowing the parasitic nature of the spores, Lezhi guessed that Leixiu must have also fallen victim to their scheme, which was why he disappeared. Lezhi faced two options: one was to find the person first and then deal with the culprit together, and the other was to strike at the heart of the matter.

Without hesitation, he chose the second option. Although he didn't want to admit it, fighting is definitely more enjoyable when you're away from people.

Having pretended to be well-behaved in front of her clan for so long, Lezhi had almost forgotten what it felt like to do bad things.

As the saying goes, there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names. Few people would know this in his past life. Lezhi's childhood nickname was "Little Crazy."

With a flap of its wings leaving afterimages, Lezhi sped off like an arrow in a predetermined direction, the wind playing music in its ears, the light emanating from its body illuminating its path, startling the creatures hidden in the darkness.

Without needing to look closely, the green light gave Lezhi the answer: the place was densely covered with cylindrical objects, each with pointed ends, and each containing a living creature.

These are insect pupae, and inside them are the black-eyed insects that have caused Lei Xiu so much trouble.

As the number of spores increases, even if some choose to remain on the pupa, a huge number still float in the wind, seeking other opportunities.

The arrival of Lezhi disrupted the balance here. Neither the spores nor the pupae could pose any threat to him. On the contrary, the green light surrounding Lezhi was deadly to them if Lezhi wanted to.

The essence of the green light is vitality, a gift bestowed upon Lezhi by his mother tree when he was conceived as a tree spirit. Originally, this vitality could not be used directly to harm people, but everything has two sides.

When vitality is abundant, it can bring new life, but what if it is excessive? One or two times is tolerable, but what about a hundred or a thousand times? If that's still not enough, Lezhi can continue to put pressure on it.

The more a principle is debated, the clearer it becomes; the same applies to talent. The more you use it, the deeper your understanding of it becomes.

When he discovered that his body's energy increased rather than decreased when he used it for attack instead of for generation, he vaguely guessed something about the nature of his talent.

Devour? It doesn't seem that simple.

As he sped along, he collected spores and pupae along the way. Wherever he went, the air became crisp and clear, and the plants buried deep in the ground seemed to be awakened by the rich vitality, eager to break out of their shells.

The detached spores seem to still be connected to the main body. Deep at the bottom of the cliff in the direction Lezhi is heading, in a dark cave with no sunlight, a huge mushroom occupies all the space, and its branches are densely packed around it.

On the soles of its roots, a hideous outer skin could be vaguely seen. Sensing the final cry before its released spores were destroyed, the giant mushroom, which had already merged with the shadow, swayed slightly, its massive cap trembling, and released another wave of spores rushing out of the cave.

If the quality is insufficient, quantity can make up for it. The loss of some mushrooms is not a big deal for the giant mushrooms, as they can replenish their numbers in time.

After the spores on the road ahead thinned out briefly, they became dense again, and Lezhi knew that his actions had provoked the culprit in the shadows.

"It's good that you're stimulated. I'm just afraid you'll keep hiding and pretending to be dead. That would be so boring."

The content of these remarks, coupled with Lezhi's eerie smile, made the fur ball hiding in the collar shudder involuntarily.

This is the first time it has seen such a joyful thing. It seems... a little scary!

Never before had Maoqiu missed Lei Xiu and the fledgling so much. Unfortunately, they were not there, and the Entwining Vine and Coco Vine were too far away. Maoqiu could only shrink its body and move closer to the inside of its clothes, trying to minimize its presence.

The number of mushroom spores increased dramatically, but Lezhi remained completely unfazed. In his eyes, they were all just food for him. Others might worry about being parasitized, but he was different. The vitality within his body was a million times stronger than anything he could project outwards. Come on, try it!

The energy surged forth, the light reaching its peak, turning a blinding white regardless of its original color. Spores in the air swarmed in, colliding with the light and instantly vanishing without a trace.

Despite all this, Lezhi's speed did not slow down at all; on the contrary, the arrival of a new wave of spores made the location of the target even clearer.

The transparent wings behind him were now completely invisible to the naked eye. Without careful observation, one would think that Lezhi had no wings to assist him and was maintaining his terrifying speed solely with his physical body.

Even the wind is helping Lezhi.

With multiple enhancements, Lezhi appeared like a bolt of lightning. The giant mushroom, which had been leisurely shaking its cap and releasing more spores just a moment ago, was startled by the sudden appearance of Lezhi.
