Chapter 95 Qiyun Plain
Qiyun Plains also belong to the territory of the Lingyu Clan. During his midday rest, Leyou took the time to explain to Lezhi, "Our Lingyu Clan borders the territories of the Longtail Clan and the Windwalker Clan. Look, that way is the Longtail Clan, and that way is the Windwalker Clan."
Having lived two lives and still unable to discern directions, Lezhi stared blankly as Leyou, after merely observing the position of the sun, instantly pointed out the directions of the Longtail Clan and the Windwalker Clan. Looking around at the vast grasslands, Lezhi felt a little dizzy.
I'm sorry to tell you, but actually, Lezhi only knew the direction a second after Leyou pointed it out. The moment Leyou lowered his hand, Lezhi's mind went blank again. His poor sense of direction wasn't very noticeable within the tribe.
One reason is that Lezhi is always accompanied by someone wherever he goes, and his clansmen have almost never left him alone. Moreover, Lezhi only has a poor sense of direction, but his memory is quite good. As long as he has walked a certain route, he will subconsciously remember a few obvious landmarks. Therefore, his poor sense of direction has not caused him too much trouble.
Now that he had gone out with his clansmen, Lezhi realized that his sense of direction had become so bad. If no one was around to guide him, he could probably wander around in the Yunmeng Forest forever. Places like the Qiyun Plain, which had no obvious landmarks, were his nightmare.
Unaware of the confusion in Lezhi's eyes, Leyou continued her eloquent introduction, since she had just finished eating and thought it was just a way to digest her food.
"...That's just a way of putting it. In reality, the Qiyun Plain is extremely vast. Even with wings, one could fly in a straight line and it would take several days to cross it. Moreover, one would have to avoid the unpredictable tidal storms. The tidal storms on the plain are terrifying, since there is nowhere to hide here."
Keenly catching a new word, Lezhi pricked up his ears and curiously approached Leyou, unaware that Leixiu, who had noticed Lezhi leaving his embrace, had also quietly followed behind.
What is a tidal storm?
Seeing Lezhi approaching, Leyou's desire to share was greatly satisfied. He smiled and said, "It is said that due to some kind of air current, large storms suddenly appear in various parts of Jormungand from time to time. The arrival and disappearance of the storms are without warning and are very powerful, so it is best to avoid them, otherwise you can easily be blown away."
With his eyes raised in thought, Leyou slowly said, "I remember someone in the clan telling me that they often heard stories of clansmen being blown away by tidal storms. By the time they were found, they had already been blown to a very far place. The worst time was when their wings were broken, so they couldn't fly back and could only wait for someone to rescue them."
Hearing that the wings had broken, Yuezhi knew she didn't have wings, but just by imagining it, she could sense the magnitude of the attack that had caused such severe damage. Her heart skipped a beat. "Was there absolutely no way to avoid this tidal storm?"
“If there were a way, the tribesmen would have figured it out long ago. But the tidal storms are completely unpredictable. They come and go as they please, making them impossible to guard against.” Leyou shrugged, looking helpless.
"So all we can do is stay vigilant and learn how to protect ourselves during tidal storms. There's nothing else we can do but hope for the protection of the Mother Tree."
Hearing Leyou's seemingly conciliatory words, Lezhi sat up straight, but accidentally snuggled into Leixiu's arms, who hadn't had time to sit up straight.
Looking up at Lei Xiu, Le Zhi realized that he had been under Lei Xiu's watchful eye for the past two days. At first, Le Zhi was a little uncomfortable, but everything takes time to adjust. With his persistent spirit, Lei Xiu successfully got Le Zhi used to the distance between them after a few days of testing.
So at this moment, Lezhi only glanced at Lei Xiu and did not show much resistance. Leyou's words were still ringing in his ears: the power of nature is irresistible, and Lezhi realized this clearly once again.
Although it was a bit overwhelming, the scenery of Qiyun Plain was still very beautiful. Standing in such a place with a wide view, any worries seemed insignificant. A gentle breeze would blow by, and one's mind would be clear.
Leaning against the fur ball that had transformed into a large white bird, Lezhi quietly gazed at the edge of the plain that stretched to meet the sky in the distance, her eyes vacant, emptying all her thoughts, and quietly feeling the wind's flowing path.
Qiyun Plain was indeed vast. Judging from the flight time, it was definitely much larger than Yunmeng Forest. Once again, they camped out on the plain. Lezhi leaned against Maoqiu and looked up at the sky, trying to find any familiar constellations, but to no avail.
Perhaps due to the absence of light pollution, the starry sky of Jormungand is more dazzling than that of the planet in my previous life. The stars twinkle more actively and are denser. Even someone as ignorant as Lezhi as me could easily tell that this place was not in the same space as the planet in my previous life.
Many of her past memories have become blurred, and Lezhi can only vaguely recall some of the most memorable things, while most of them have gradually faded away with the passage of time.
Perhaps one day he will completely forget that he once had a life, but it doesn't matter. In his previous life, Lezhi was not someone who would be missed for long. He was just a marginal figure in society, and even if he disappeared, no one would care.
Lost in endless thoughts, her eyelids grew heavy. Lezhi did not resist, letting sleepiness overwhelm her consciousness, and soon fell into a deep, sweet dream.
Lezhi knew he was dreaming, because he was floating in the air, carried by the wind, drifting around this unfamiliar plain. In his dream, he saw Leyou and the others sleeping in twos and threes, and he also saw the guards on guard around the camp. The wind even playfully carried him through a burning fire, causing a flickering flame.
As he passed through the flames, Lezhi felt no burning sensation at all, or rather, he felt nothing at all, as if he had truly become one with the wind.
The wind has its own way of moving, and Lezhi has no direction, so he simply goes with the flow, letting the wind carry him freely to the left and right. In the grass and in the puddles, Lezhi sees all sorts of scenery that he had never noticed before from a strange angle.
If the dream had ended there, Lezhi could have defined it as a beautiful dream without hesitation. Unfortunately, what happened next caught him somewhat off guard.
The unexpected happened quickly. The wind's restlessness came without warning. One second, Lezhi was enjoying the feeling of freedom, and the next second, he was swept up by an invisible force and involuntarily joined the rioting army.
Watching the storm gradually take shape and begin to rage, Lezhi tried to resist. Although her strength was weak, Lezhi could still sense from the faint pulling sensation that her efforts were having an effect.
Just as he was about to intensify his resistance, his consciousness was suddenly swept over by an unnamed force. As if sensing this different aspect of his consciousness, the unnamed force paused for a moment.
Although Lezhi was only a wisp of consciousness, he was still sweating profusely. The nameless force seemed to have discovered his origin. As the eye of the storm, it might be brutal to the external environment, but to Lezhi, this force was surprisingly gentle.
His drifting consciousness was gently nudged, and Lezhi suddenly opened his eyes, instantly waking up from his dream. He could still hear the faint words "Stop fooling around" echoing in his ears, making it impossible for Lezhi to tell if it was just his imagination.
