I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 467 Going forward one after another

Chapter 467 Going forward one after another
The surging mud waves forced Li Luo and Zhou Chao to stop temporarily. They stood on a thick fallen tree, waiting for the waves to subside.

A sudden gust of wind blew over the destroyed forest, and the activated air gathered again. They were like entrenched vultures, snatching the leftovers while the lion had finished hunting.

"You see that? The winds."

Zhou Chao looked at the woods and pointed at the rolled-up leaves.

“Is it activated air?”

"That's right, but they can't cause any harm to us. There are more terrifying things underneath." Zhou Chao pointed downwards.

At this time, Mo Ling was also staring at the spindle-shaped soil. After attacking the forest, it sank deep into the ground.

“Doesn’t it hunt?”

The broken roots were like long wriggling snakes, struggling constantly in the soil. The spindle-shaped soil made the prey lose the ability to resist, but did not eat the prey.

Just as Mo Ling was wondering, the spindle-shaped soil returned to his sight.

But this time, it did not come alone.

Behind the spindle-shaped soil, there were countless small spindle-shaped soils.

They gathered together like a hunting group of killer whales.

“There are still tribes?”

Sure enough, as the activation pollution deepened, the intelligence of these activated creatures became higher and higher, and now even tribes have appeared.

This group of spindle-shaped soils soon reached the surface.

Then, like dolphins, they leaped out of the ground and entangled themselves in the ground with countless roots.

A feast has begun.

Whether it was the roots or the soft soil that gathered together, it all became their food. They turned the earth over wantonly and crushed everything.

"It's activated soil. They actually formed a tribe!" Zhou Chao said in shock as he looked at the spindle-shaped soil that jumped out of the ground.

"Leave from the other side, don't attract their attention."

The two were about to leave secretly, but the leader of the spindle-shaped mud suddenly looked over here, spun his body, and rushed towards them.

Its rock-hard body directly smashed several large trees, and it seemed that it didn't want to let the two leave.

"It discovered us!" Zhou Chao quickly handed the holy sword in his hand to Li Luo.

Li Luo also understood and placed his hand on the hilt of the sword.

However, before she could draw her sword, a huge cube-shaped hole suddenly appeared on the ground in front of her. The menacing spindle-shaped soil was right in the middle of the hole and disappeared without a trace.

"Iron block..." Li Luo turned his head to look at the block behind him, and the hand that was holding the hilt of the sword slowly relaxed.

……

At this time, Mo Ling was looking at the huge spindle-shaped soil in the center of the square with curiosity.

"It's no longer active..."

The teleportation of the block directly eliminated the activation, and what was piled in front of Mo Ling was just ordinary mud.

"What exactly is this so-called reanimation? Can it really give life to 'dead things'?"

Mo Ling's mind moved, and he threw the mud in front of him away again.

The huge spindle-shaped piece of earth fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

In the distance, the spindle-shaped mud blocks that had lost their leader suddenly began to fight among themselves, competing for the remaining food. The huge mud blocks collided with each other, smashing both sides into pieces.

"Without their leader, they seem to have suddenly become much dumber."

Mo Ling looked at the spindle-shaped muds that were killing each other with some confusion.

Their fight caused the earth to tremble more violently, and the tree trunk on which Li Luo and Zhou Chao were standing began to shake.

"Leave here quickly!" Zhou Chao reminded Li Luo while looking at the big pit caused by the teleportation and the spindle-shaped soil thrown out.

The two jumped from one tree trunk to another, slowly moving away from the battlefield. Zhou Chao panted, looked at Li Luo, and then looked at the block behind her.

"Is it the power of this relic? I should have guessed it long ago. The hunter who can reach the fourth floor alone is not a weakling."

Li Luo nodded and handed the holy sword back.

However, Zhou Chao did not take it, but pushed the holy sword towards Li Luo.

"It's useless for me to hold it. You hold it first and draw your sword in time when you encounter danger."

He turned his head and looked into the depths of the dark forest, his tone full of excitement: "Your use of the holy sword is very powerful, and the relic is also very strong. We will definitely be able to reach the central area."

Li Luo looked at the holy sword in his hand and nodded.

"You just said that the mud formed a tribe?"

“Yes, the pollution is worse than I expected.”

"Then do you think that they will be able to form a language, a society, or even a civilization? What does the central area look like now?" Li Luo uttered a terrifying guess.

When Zhou Chao heard this, he also fell silent.

"Can the beacon still be used?" Li Luo asked.

"I don't know." Zhou Chao shook his head: "But we have to give it a try, right?"

He looked at the dark forest, as if remembering something from the past.

"We also thought about giving up..."

At that time, after the loss of two companions, the investigation team began to split.

Some team members thought that they should not pay so much for an unknown island. This empty island might not have any value and they might just sacrifice in vain. It would be better to leave now, or find a place to set up a beacon and then leave the island.

However, the captain denied them.

"Do you know why we have to set up a beacon?"

"Is it to record the movement trajectory of this sky island? Is it to monitor the ecology of the sky island? Or is it to prove that humans have been to this sky island?"

"These are all reasons, but they are not the most important ones."

"The important thing is for the future generations."

"In the future, when someone comes to this island, he can use the beacon to get information about the island and avoid many dangers. Perhaps with this insignificant information, he can leave the island safely."

"We are not doing meaningless things. We are leaving fire for future generations."

"You have all heard the story of Prometheus... and now, we are all fire thieves..."

No matter which layer of the abyss, it all starts from the unknown. Someone has to dispel the unknown darkness and see what is under the fog.

The empty islands are shrouded in fog, and someone has to uncover the mystery.

This is the responsibility of the Sky Island Investigation Team, and also the responsibility of “predecessors”.

"Now, are you still willing to stay? Become a fire thief."

The captain asked this question to the silent team members.

"I'll stay! Captain."

"I'll stay too!"

"They all stayed, so of course I can't run away!"

……

Almost everyone responded to the captain's call, and the rest of the people raised their hands to show their determination.
