Chapter 169 Questions
During the journey, Lezhi had plenty of time to daydream. He took the opportunity to observe the wings of the Windwalker Clan members and their flight methods.
Because she didn't have wings before, Lezhi had never observed so carefully. Now, looking closely, she realized how much of a cheat code the Mother Tree had given their tree spirit race.
Compared to birds and beasts with wings and some insectoid races, the humanoid bodies of the tree spirits make them more adept at production and creation, and their naturally foldable wings are also more convenient to use.
That's not all. The mother tree also made a special personalized customization. The silent and rapid flight of the Windwalker will leave Lezhi speechless whenever he sees it.
Whether it was Lezhi's imagination or not, their group seemed to be moving faster and faster. It was also possible that the wind speed had changed. Lezhi tightened his cloak, and the strands of hair that were exposed outside the hood were blown up by the wind.
At this moment, the fluffy ball in the center of the group felt incredibly happy. Being large, it naturally possessed a high flying speed. To provide transportation for Lezhi, the fluffy ball had previously suppressed its natural instincts within the Spirit Feather Clan's group, following their flight rhythm.
Now that the flight team has changed, and this team is full of Windwalkers known for their flying speed, Furball immediately noticed the difference.
After a few initial attempts to accelerate, Maoqiu discovered that the Windwalkers would adjust their speed to follow it, instantly making it feel exhilarated, and its flight speed increased accordingly.
The Windwalker Clan quickly noticed the situation. Qingze moved from the middle of the group to the front, waiting to replace Qingjin in leading the group so that she could take a break.
"Captain, Maoqiu's speed..." Qingze thought for a moment and decided to discuss with Qingjin whether they should slow down the team's speed.
At the front of the group, Qingjin glanced at the fur ball behind her out of the corner of her eye, a smile appearing in her eyes. "It's okay, as long as we can keep up, let it fly."
"Okay, what about Lezhi?"
“If Lezhi doesn’t adapt, Lei Xiu will naturally communicate with Maoqiu. We don’t need to interfere.” Although Qing Jin hadn’t met Lezhi many times, she could tell the food chain situation in their family at a glance and made a decision instantly.
"Yes."
Their conversation ahead didn't affect Maoqiu's mood. As they soared through the air quickly alongside the group, Maoqiu felt a rare sense of exhilaration. In his excitement, he couldn't help but let out a light "Hee!"
From the sound of the furball's barking, Lezhi could tell that it was in a good mood, which made Lezhi himself feel good as well. Although the wind was strong, Lezhi said he could bear it.
However, Le Zhi could endure it, but Lei Xiu could not.
He had already shown great leniency by letting the furball accelerate several times, but the premise of this leniency was that it could not affect Lezhi. Seeing Lezhi's hair flying more and more wildly outside the hood, Lei Xiu frowned and couldn't help but gently land next to Lezhi.
Reaching out, Lei Xiu wrapped his arm around Le Zhi's body, tightened the ties of his cloak, and then tidied up the stray strands of hair. Lei Xiu then lowered his head to observe Le Zhi's expression.
"Zhizhi, how are you feeling? Do you want to stop and rest for a bit?"
"No need, I'm fine." Le Zhi shook her head, refusing Lei Xiu's suggestion, afraid that if he slowed down even a little, Lei Xiu would immediately stop the group.
"Is the current speed too fast? I'll tell Maoqiu to slow down." After confirming that Lezhi was still in good spirits, Lei Xiu raised his hand and touched Lezhi's forehead, which was still slightly hot.
After taking the sap of the mother tree, Lezhi's spirits did improve, but his low-grade fever did not improve. The fact that Lezhi was able to stay awake can only be attributed to the fact that his body had adapted to the discomfort caused by the low-grade fever over the past two days.
This is a situation where you shouldn't be going out at all. Lezhi should be comfortably resting in bed under his care during this difficult time, instead of those damned shadows...
Cursing the shadow in his heart once again, Lei Xiu's eyes flashed with crimson. He felt that the anger that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time was about to explode again. This feeling often appeared when he fought the shadow in the past few decades, but since Le Zhi removed the shadow from his body, Lei Xiu had not had this bloodthirsty thought for a long time.
Now, for the sake of Lezhi, Lei Xiu has a rare urge to perish together with the shadowy figure, just so that Lezhi can get some rest.
Although Lei Xiu's inner thoughts were turbulent, he was used to hiding them and his face remained calm and composed. Apart from that slightly strange look in his eyes just now, everything else was normal.
But Lezhi inexplicably sensed that Lei Xiu was in a bad mood. He didn't need any evidence; his intuition told him everything.
Looking up at Lei Xiu, his eyes, as always, were like a gentle, tranquil lake, occasionally rippling with tiny waves, but without exception, they were filled with the tenderness that Le Zhi loved.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lezhi staring at him, Lei Xiu forgot all his thoughts and focused only on the furry person in front of him.
"Are you hungry, thirsty, or tired and want to sleep?" Lei Xiu asked about every little detail, gently stroking Le Zhi's forehead with his fingers, trying to comfort Le Zhi with this small touch.
But no matter how Lei Xiu asked, Le Zhi just shook his head. He did not refuse Lei Xiu's touch, but he also did not touch Lei Xiu on his own initiative. He was like a proud cat that was silently observing humans, trying to figure out what the person in front of him was thinking.
Convinced that her feeling just now wasn't a hallucination, Lezhi's eyes flashed with confusion, but she quickly let it go. Lei Xiu's behavior clearly indicated he didn't want her to know, so there was no need for her to pry. If it concerned him, she couldn't avoid him no matter what; he would find out eventually, there was no rush.
Seeing that Lezhi was only shaking her head without saying a word, Lei Xiu became a little anxious. However, despite his anxiety, Lei Xiu's movements remained gentle. "Then why is Zhizhi looking at me? Is there something you want to ask me?"
So far, Lei Xiu is one of only two people that Mao Qiu has allowed to stay on its back, and this time the time he has stayed on it is almost exceeding Mao Qiu's tolerance limit.
However, Lei Xiu showed no intention of urging Le Zhi. At worst, he could take some time to fight Mao Qiu again. Talking to Le Zhi was more important right now.
Unaware of the little "agreement" between Lei Xiu and Mao Qiu, Le Zhi thought for a moment, then glanced at the Windwalker Clan members still flying in the corner of her eye, and decided to take the opportunity to ask the question that had been swirling in her mind.
"I have something I want to ask." With her eyes wide open in anticipation, Lezhi asked, her curiosity piqued, "I want to know, why aren't you afraid of the cold while flying? And with such strong winds, doesn't it affect your flight speed? If so, why can the Windwalkers fly faster and faster?"
Lei Xiu's expression relaxed as he looked at Le Zhi and let his hand, which had been stroking Le Zhi's forehead, hang loosely on his knees. He then answered Le Zhi's question.
"The answer is simple. When we fly, flapping our wings generates energy in our bodies, naturally forming a protective layer that protects us from external influences. However, the foundation of this protective layer is still our energy reserves. So, it depends on how long each person's energy can sustain the protective layer. The more energy we have and the more planned we are in using it, the longer we can fly."
"As for the Windwalkers flying faster and faster, that's because they weren't traveling at full speed to begin with. As for how fast they can fly, I can go with you to ask them when we have time."
All the questions were answered one by one, and Lezhi's thirst for knowledge was satisfied. Although new questions arose, Lezhi was already very content.
"Is that all you wanted to ask?" Seeing Lezhi's thoughtful expression, Lei Xiu asked softly to confirm.
"Okay, that's all for now. I'll call you if there are any problems."
"Okay..." Lei Xiu chuckled in agreement. He watched as Le Zhi waved his hand as if he was going to throw her away after using her. He shook his head, but his body followed Le Zhi's wishes and rose into the air, continuing to fly with the group, leaving Le Zhi alone to think.
