I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 1103 Tree Hole
"To be honest, I'm actually scared. I can't see far away, and I always feel like there's something staring at me from a distance." Mo Ling looked at Lu Luqi with an innocent face and said seriously.

"Really?"

"real."

"Why do I feel like you're lying to me?"

"Then your feeling is right."

"Mo! Ling!"

The usually gentle and polite boy with glasses was finally driven crazy by the torture. He grabbed a branch and was about to poke Mo Ling with it, but at this moment, a cool breeze suddenly blew over from the direction of the big tree hole.

Mo Ling and Lu Luqi stopped fighting at the same time and looked up at the sky above the big tree hole.

I saw a bright streak suddenly appear in the sky as if a match was lit, and then the bright streak tore the sky apart, turned into a paintbrush, and started painting in the air.

The "light ink" at the tip of the pen blurred out a large and clear pattern, like the draft of a black and white comic book, without color and not specific enough, but the general structure was extremely complete.

That is the skyline of a city. The painting was made by looking down at the city from the air. Everything in the city can be seen clearly, as if a god was gazing at the development of the city.

Although this "light ink painting" has not been fully revealed, Mo Ling and Lu Qi are both certain that the city depicted in this painting is the city built by humans on the abyss.

Mo Ling saw the monument on the square, which was an important landmark that could not be ignored, and also saw the "big pit" in the center of the city from another angle.

When he was at Base 921, he had stared at the satellite image of the entrance to the abyss more than once, and he was very familiar with it.

"It is indeed the City of Abyss..." Mo Ling said in a daze.

The mission intelligence was not wrong.

"Quick, record it." Lu Lu reminded Mo Ling belatedly, and the two of them immediately took out the recording equipment and recorded the entire process of painting with light and shadow.

"Did you find anything?" Mo Ling asked the router who was playing back the video with the device.

"No, it seems to have appeared out of thin air. The environment here does not meet the conditions for a mirage to appear..."

"Then what do we do?"

"Go around first, then look under the big tree hole."

"clear."

The two men carried their equipment and walked along the edge of the big tree hole.

They had only walked less than a quarter of the way when Lu Qi stopped and pointed at the virtual image in the air and said, "Mo Ling, have you noticed that no matter what angle we look at it from, we see the same scene?"

Mo Ling nodded. He had actually wanted to say this a long time ago. He could adjust the viewing angle at will, but no matter how he adjusted it, all he could see was the scene of "looking down from above the city."

Mo Ling told Lu Luqi about his discovery. Lu Luqi pondered for a while, picked up the recording equipment, and recorded the sky he saw from this angle.

"Let's go. I guess we'll just go around in a big circle and see the same thing."

The two of them walked along the edge of the big tree hole again, and just as the route had guessed, they returned to the starting point. The painting in the sky had not changed and remained in the same state.

"Get ready, let's go take a look under the tree hole."

"it is good."

"There are creatures called cave demons in there, but they don't move at night. We have to get up before dawn."

"I'll follow your instructions." With a smart guy like Route Qi around, Mo Ling didn't need to use his brain and just had to follow behind.

After packing up their equipment for entering the cave, the two followed a huge tree root that rested on the edge and entered the cave. The temperature inside the cave was lower than outside, but the wind was much weaker. The air was filled with the smell of damp moss, and some subtle insect chirps sounded in the darkness. This cave also had its own unique ecology.

"Mo Ling, please go ahead. Can't you see clearly?"

"Okay, we just need to keep going down, right?"

"Yes, pick some safer roads and don't be too anxious."

"understood."

As Mo Ling answered, he walked past Lu Luqi. There were reflective labels on his clothes. The light in Lu Luqi's hand shone on him, making the surroundings unusually bright.

"Watch your step." He reminded the passerby that the tree roots were covered with fungi and mosses, making them very slippery to walk on.

Mo Ling himself was not affected at all. His vision allowed him to clearly identify the appropriate footing point, so there was no problem of slipping.

Slowly extending his vision, Mo Ling carefully analyzed the downward route. Here, the tree roots were intertwined and extended everywhere, but some places looked easy to walk on, but were actually full of traps. With a quick glance, Mo Ling knew the most suitable route.

"Follow me and step on the places I stepped on." Mo Ling reminded the person on the road behind him.

The light in the sky was still illuminating the tree hole. The light in his hand created a "light ball" in the hole, which slowly "slid down" along the intertwined tree roots, getting deeper and deeper...

"It's almost there, I've seen the bottom." Mo Ling said in a low voice.

The further down they went, the quieter the tree hole became. Mo Ling's voice broke the silence, and the surrounding insects began to chirp again.

"What's underneath?" Lu asked softly from behind.

"It's a pool of water, very calm." Mo Ling told the router what he saw truthfully.

"A pool of water?"

After hearing Mo Ling's words, Lu Luqi also showed a puzzled expression.

"You'll see it soon. After you walk along this tree root, you'll reach the shore..."

After the insects chirped for a while, they fell silent again. In the increasingly dark tree hole, even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly. This extreme silence made both of them nervous.

Darkness and silence can make people have wild thoughts. Although this mission has not encountered any danger so far, this is in the abyss. No one can guarantee that something will not jump out of the darkness in the next second...

"Tick."

The sound of dripping water brought both of them back to their senses.

Thanks to Mo Ling's vision, they reached the bottom of the cave easily.

"Did you see that? It's all water."

"I saw it..."

The light in his hand shot forward and extended far into the distance, illuminating the surface of the lake clearly.

The water in the pool was a little blue, with some glowing algae floating on the surface, which looked extremely dreamy. The area of ​​the pool was larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the large tree hole. It seemed to be connected to other places in the distance, perhaps the bottom of other tree holes, or an underground river or something like that.

The water in the pond is very shallow, perhaps only up to a person's knee height, and is a thin layer, like sapphire spread on the ground.

But although this pool was beautiful and stunning, it had nothing to do with the shadow above the tree hole. Lu looked at the surface of the pool, then raised his head to look up into the sky, with a trace of confusion in his eyes...
