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

Chapter 237 Rescue Mission

At the same time, the Spirit Feather Clan.

While they were happily preparing brunch, little did they know that their tribesmen were already on their way to rescue them. After ruling out the problem with the crystal cave, Le Zhong led his team to wait there, collecting traces left by birds and beasts in the surrounding area in an attempt to find a breakthrough.

After a night, Lei Xiu arrived instead of Le Zhong, which was both unexpected and yet somehow reasonable.

Neither of them were talkative people. After nodding to each other in greeting, they began to exchange information.

"...I have already led a team to survey the entire area. We can confirm that a large number of birds and animals stayed in the vicinity in a short period of time. Based on the traces left behind, we have roughly identified the species of some of these birds and animals, including sharp-billed birds, red-eyed green magpies, crested birds, and black-headed birds. These birds usually act alone. Why they gathered here is still under discussion. Perhaps it is the reason why Leyou and the others disappeared."

After stating his initial assessment, Le Zhong paused for a moment before continuing, "There's another point. Judging from the movement patterns at the scene, there was also a Fulfilling Bird among them. Fulfilling Birds haven't settled in Yunmeng Forest for some time now, so this bird may have just migrated here recently. Perhaps we can start our investigation from here."

After all, it would be far too difficult to find other birds and beasts. They could identify what kind of bird had been there from the tracks, but they couldn't pinpoint the exact bird in the forest because there were just too many of them. So the appearance of the Flourishing Bird was just in time.

“Okay, I agree. Let’s split up and search. We’ll keep each other informed as soon as we have any news.” Le Zhong’s suggestion was exactly what Lei Xiu wanted to hear, so the two quickly reached an agreement.

The rescue team quickly assembled and, under Le Zhong's arrangement, dispersed in various directions to begin a thorough search.

Lei Xiu chose his own direction. As an experienced hunter, although the birds and beasts did not leave any clues to indicate the direction when they left, Lei Xiu quickly determined the direction to search next based on some subtle intuition.

After nodding to Le Zhong, Lei Xiu's huge wings instantly unfurled. Because he was standing with his back to the light, from Le Zhong's perspective, Lei Xiu was completely shrouded in shadow, just like his mood at that moment.

Since learning of Le Zhi's disappearance, Lei Xiu's aura has become increasingly cold, to the point that anyone who gets close will feel frostbite. Only Le Zhong can still talk to him with a normal expression. Everyone else present is silent and trembling with fear until Lei Xiu leaves first, at which point they can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Alright, don't waste any time. Let's set off immediately in the directions we just assigned." Noticing the team members' somewhat strange attitude, Le Zhong's face hardened, and he gave a loud order.

As a member of the second team who had experienced hardships and been reborn from the ashes, Le Zhong's authority was undeniable. With his shout, everyone immediately became solemn and took off at top speed. In almost an instant, only Le Zhong remained on the scene.

"A bunch of brats..." Seeing his men slip away so quickly, Le Zhong's expression softened, and he shook his head helplessly.

The next battle is going to be tough. I hope those little guys from Leyou can hold on a little longer, and we must hold on until they find them.

What Le Zhong thought was the same thought of everyone in the Lingyu Clan. They set off first as the vanguard, and the others did not wait for news.

Guard teams, hunting teams, gathering teams—all teams capable of going out to search for people were assembled. While ensuring the tribe's most basic safety and minimum supplies, as many people as possible were released to join the search and rescue team.

Ordinary members of the tribe were also gathered together. They needed to be on high alert during this period because of the shortage of people in the tribe. Therefore, everyone had to be prepared to protect the tribe's territory.

This situation had already occurred once when they were searching for Lezhi, so the Lingyu Clan members were quite familiar with this scene. The clan members quietly followed the instructions of the clan's higher-ups, each performing their duties in an orderly manner, without showing any panic in their actions.

It's not that they aren't worried, but rather that they are fully prepared to go all out.

No matter the circumstances, the lives of their people are paramount, and they will not hesitate to do so even at a severe cost.

After watching Leshan lead the transferred personnel off, Lechu, who remained in charge of the clan, turned and flew back to the clan chief's office.

Last time, because it was a newborn cub in distress, the scale of the operation was even larger than this time. Le Chu personally led the team, taking most of the tribe's manpower to participate in the search and rescue of Le Zhi.

He didn't go this time for two reasons: one was that the clan needed him to stay and oversee things, and the other was that Le Zhong and Lei Xiu were there this time.

Either of these two individuals could stand on their own, and with Le Shan also leading a team, Le Chu was quite at ease. If the three of them combined couldn't save Le You and the others, then adding him wouldn't be of much use.

Le Chu walked lightly but firmly into the lush mother vine, and the tribesmen responsible for guarding the mother vine immediately greeted her.

"Chieftain, you've arrived."

"Hmm, still no news?"

"No, since that day, we've been keeping watch day and night in shifts. We definitely won't miss any movement." This was both an answer and a guarantee.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Please let me know as soon as you have any news."

"Yes, patriarch."

After staring intently at the flower stamen belonging to Yue Ting for a long time, seeing that it still didn't move at all, Yue Chu didn't linger there and turned to leave.

I wonder how those little ones are doing. I hope they're all safe and sound!

……

The three members of Leyou, who were being thought of by everyone, were in an unusually good state. After all, being surrounded by fluffy cubs would make anyone feel incredibly happy.

"Hey, hey, don't fight! There are others here. Don't bully your friends!" Leyou said softly in a voice she had never used before.

The two fledglings, who were fighting over food, were finally separated by Leyou's combined efforts of persuasion and intervention.

Seeing that the two little ones were still angry, Leyou quickly waved the food in his hand. Sure enough, the cubs were all about food. As long as there was food, the little conflict was quickly forgotten.

Not only was Leyou's side bustling with activity, but Leting and Lezhi's side was equally lively. However, their chicks were much more docile in comparison, and there was no fighting. Instead, they were more focused on being cute with the adults holding food.

So, on the spacious platform outside the brooding cave, this scene unfolded: three outsider tree spirits were surrounded by a group of chicks of various species, chirping and twittering anxiously for food, while the hooded bird, the proper feeder, was ignored.

All of this stemmed from wanting to cook a meal for the hooded birds.

As is widely known, the charm of cooked food lies in the various reactions that occur during the cooking process, releasing unparalleled aromas. It's not just a matter of color, aroma, and taste.

The Maillard reaction that occurs when meat is heated not only produces a strong aroma but also gives it an enticing color—something raw meat simply cannot match. Moreover, Lezhi also uses flour; the combination of carbohydrates and fat is irresistible, even to birds.

Back then, Maoqiu was attracted by Lezhi's cooking skills, and it's hard to say that it has followed Lezhi all this time without being drawn to his excellent culinary abilities.
