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

Chapter 319 Chocolate, Chocolate

Lei Xiu wasn't surprised at all that Lezhi would ask such a question.

"Here you are? Don't you even remember which direction we came from?" How can we salvage Lezhi's terrible sense of direction, as always?

"Hehe, it's because you guys are here, and I didn't do it on purpose." If he could, Lezhi would really like to remember, but he just can't. As soon as he turns around, he immediately loses his way, which is quite frustrating for him.

"Tweet~"

"Okay, thank you, fluffy ball. I'll be relying on you from now on when we go out!"

"Tweet~"

Seizing the opportunity, Maoqiu took advantage of the situation and seized the chance to demonstrate its importance to Lezhi. Lezhi's surroundings became increasingly crowded, and even Maoqiu couldn't help but feel a sense of crisis.

"Alright, this is it." Lei Xiu, who was leading the way, did not miss the commotion behind him. Hearing that Mao Qiu had successfully tricked Le Zhi into making a promise, he gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do, so he could only quickly change the subject.

Sure enough, Lezhi's attention immediately shifted to what was in front of him. He squatted down and carefully scanned the ground inch by inch, trying to find out what was different about this place that could attract insects to stay.

Before long, Lezhi noticed something was wrong. At the same time, the vine behind his ear also issued a warning, "Lei Xiu, look here. Isn't it a little different from the other places? This should be the plant that the vine was talking about."

"Where? Let me see..."

The plant was very well hidden. Le Zhi was afraid that Lei Xiu wouldn't be able to see it, so she deliberately removed the surrounding stones, and the winding, intertwined plant body underneath appeared before their eyes.

The tree spirits' affinity for wood is innate. The reason they hadn't discovered it before was because this plant was hidden too well. Now that it was so obviously right in front of them, Lei Xiu immediately confirmed that this strange creature was indeed a plant when he touched it.

"...Non-toxic, edible." Plants with such a description are plentiful outside, but here in the Endless Abyss, this plant immediately becomes extraordinary.

"This looks like a vine, but it's also a bit like moss. It's hard to tell the difference." Lezhi carefully observed the plant in front of her, her curiosity piqued. She even reached out and poked at it a few times. "Hey, is this its fruit?"

Following the direction in which the branches meandered, Lezhi found the fruit of the unnamed plant. "No wonder I didn't notice it before, it looks so much like a stone."

Reaching out, he picked the fruit that looked exactly like a rock. Lezhi's food radar was already itching to go, but out of caution, he first put the fruit under his nose and smelled it.

"Ok?"

"What's wrong? Does it taste strange?"

"No, smell it."

Even though there were still a few fruits on the ground, Lei Xiu didn't pick them. Instead, he pulled Le Zhi's hand over and smelled the one on his hand.

Lezhi felt a little uncomfortable, but he held back and didn't shake off Lei Xiu's hand. He wanted to see Lei Xiu's reaction to the fruit's scent to make sure he wasn't imagining what he had just smelled.

"How is it? Doesn't it smell pretty good?"

"Hmm, it has a very rich flavor with a sweet aroma. It's quite unique; I've never smelled anything like it before."

"Right? I knew it couldn't be my imagination." It has a rich, sweet aroma, just like the taste of chocolate.

As the two birds got closer, the scent of the fruit naturally reached their nostrils. In a corner that Lezhi didn't notice, the fledgling and the fluffy bird stared intently at the fruit in his hand, not looking away for a moment.

They didn't hear a word the two tree spirits were saying; all their attention was focused on the fruit that exuded a divine aura.

Just as Lezhi reached out and wiped the fruit's shell clean, he tried to pry it open with all his might... uh, he couldn't break it open, which was embarrassing.

"This fruit is quite hard." Lezhi strained so hard that his facial features started to distort, but the fruit remained unchanged.

"How about I do it?" Seeing how hard Lezhi was struggling, Lei Xiu volunteered, but Lezhi waved him off.

"No need, I don't believe I can't open it today. It's just a fruit, watch me." With that, Lezhiji put the fruit straight into his mouth.

You can't pry it open with your hands, but it still has teeth!

This time, Lezhi didn't suffer a Waterloo. With a little effort from his teeth, the shell popped open with a crisp sound.

"See? There's always a way. It's open now." Lezhi proudly opened his palm, revealing the dark brown flesh clearly visible through the cracked shell. It looked even more like chocolate.

The fruit of the unknown plant is about the size of a walnut, and the shell is not thick, so the flesh of one fruit is not small. If they just want to taste it, it is enough for the two of them and two birds to share.

With the idea that sharing happiness is worse than enjoying it alone, Lezhi distributed a portion of fruit to everyone present, saying, "Come on, everyone, try it."

After saying that, before anyone else could react, Lezhi was the first to put the fruit in his mouth. The moment the shell was opened, Lezhi could smell the very rich and familiar sweet chocolate aroma and couldn't resist any longer.

Now that he finally got to taste it, it was just as he expected—rich, sweet, and slightly bitter, with an unforgettable aftertaste. This flavor was even better than the most expensive chocolate he had ever eaten in his previous life.

Of course, the most expensive chocolate he had ever eaten in his previous life was the kind that cost several hundred yuan a box in the supermarket. There must have been better ones, but Lezhi had never tasted them, so he could only use that as an analogy.

"Mmm, delicious..." "Chirp chirp chirp~" "Chirp chirp~"

A chorus of praises surrounded her ears. Lezhi swallowed the sweet taste in her mouth with relish, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the baby bird and the fluffy ball looking equally content.

"You guys like it too, right?"

This is a bit of a rhetorical question, but the fluffy ball and the chicks don't mind. They've even set their sights on the fruits that haven't been picked yet.

Lezhi, who shared the same plan as the two birds, did not disappoint them. He had already gathered food with his tribe countless times, and it was no exaggeration to call him a seasoned gatherer. He was incredibly fast, accurate, and ruthless when it came to gathering food.

However, the area where this nameless plant grows is much larger than they have seen. Before they could not see the difference between the fruit and the stone, they only thought that the place was desolate. Now that they could vaguely distinguish the subtle difference between the fruit and the stone, Lezhi felt a little dizzy.

"How long has this thing been growing? I can't see the end of it at all!" How long will it take to harvest it?

But they weren't willing to leave without picking them, so even the little birds brought their chicks down to help. Being smaller, they were actually more efficient.

Lei Xiu wasn't idle either. While Lezhi and the two birds were picking, he remained vigilant, saying, "Let's pick as much as we can. We'd better not stay here too long."

It's easy to see that this unknown plant is the only one discovered in the Endless Abyss so far, and it's very likely the food source for the insects living here. To put it bluntly, they're now fighting for food in the insects' mouths.

They were already outsiders who had barged into this place, and now, with the added grudge of having their food stolen, they knew they couldn't possibly have a peaceful ending with the insects.

As soon as they met, a conflict would erupt immediately, so it's no wonder Lei Xiu was nervous. Le Zhi quickly grasped the key point, and his hands moved much faster.

"We didn't find any seeds in the fruit we just ate, and we don't know how to grow these things..." In her previous life, Lezhi was a typical urban office worker, but she still had some basic knowledge of planting.

Besides growing from seeds, another common way to grow a plant is by cuttings.

Without hesitation, while Maoqiu hid the fruits it and the chicks had picked under its wings, Lezhi began to turn to the branches of plants.

Seeing the fur ball's unguarded movements, Lei Xiu's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything, only taking everything in with him.
