I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 477 Stripping away fear
While Mo Ling was trapped in that cycle of fear...

The smell of corruption became more and more serious. Although the gray-green raindrops could not penetrate Xiao Zi's blockade, they made the air more and more fetid. Li Luo and Zhou Chao both covered their mouths and noses subconsciously.

The strange totem of corruption was still spitting out maggots and dust, and it seemed to have no intention of stopping.

"Corruption should not have a physical body, so why would it condense into a totem and use maggots and dust to spread corruption?" Zhou Chao asked in confusion, looking at the totem.

He squatted down and poked the wriggling maggots with a wooden stick.

The maggots were poked to pieces by the wooden stick, and gray-green dust burst out of their bodies. The dust fell to the ground and spread rapidly like mycelium.

Zhou Chao looked in the direction the maggots were crawling from, and then looked around.

"They are emanating from the center... They are not targeting us, but are fleeing from a certain location. There is something in that location that scares them."

"If the animated corruption is targeting us, the crawling of these maggots should all be pointing in our direction, but that's not the case now. The thing they are hiding from... is there!"

Zhou Chao pointed to an empty space not far away and said that there was nothing there, and all the maggots were crawling away from that place.

After listening to Zhou Chao's judgment, Li Luo immediately understood everything. She immediately raised the holy sword and swung it towards there.

The golden torrent instantly swallowed up countless maggots and flooded the empty space.

The space shook, and many shadows appeared in the dazzling golden light. The two men opened their eyes wide instantly.

What Zhou Chao saw in that shadow was his dead companion.

And what Li Luo saw in that shadow was a man with a broken arm...

Both of them were stunned. The golden light seemed unable to completely destroy the phantoms, which were struggling to walk out of the torrent.

At this moment, a strange edge appeared in the golden light.

Then, a huge cube boundary enveloped all the phantoms. With a flash of light, the phantoms disappeared without a trace, and even gaps appeared in the light column.

Although the gap was quickly filled, the shadows inside no longer existed.

Li Luo reacted quickly and looked at the block above his head.

And Mo Ling in the cube breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the disappearing shadow in the cube.

“Sure enough, fear is not invisible.”

Before Moring fell into the fear cycle, he always believed that he could not deal with the invisible animated fear.

However, as he continued to transmit, those terrifying scenes began to go wrong.

He discovered that the characters and visions used to intimidate him would actually "drop frames"!
The "image quality" was becoming increasingly blurry, and the movements were "stuttering", indicating that the Animated Fear had been affected and could no longer maintain the scene.

Mo Ling guessed that his teleportation must have stripped away some parts of the activated fear, which caused various defects in its fear structure.

"It's like removing a few tubes from a display screen. The picture will become blurry. If you remove too many tubes, there will even be holes in the image."

In order to fill these gaps, Animate Fear can only rip Peter to patch Paul, which leads to "frame drops" and "lag".

"That is to say, teleportation can cause damage to it."

In order to create intimidation, the invisible fear must be transformed into tangible scenes, but these tangible scenes will be directly stripped away by Mo Ling.

Thinking of this, Mo Ling was no longer afraid of being trapped in fear.

He began to teleport recklessly, stripping away all those horrific images.

Finally, the animated fear gave up and kicked Moring out of the cycle of fear.

As soon as he came out, Mo Ling saw the phantom in the light of the holy sword.

"Can't even maintain its complete form?" He immediately dealt the Animated Terror the final blow.

The moment the phantom was destroyed by Mo Ling, the maggots seemed to be frozen and stopped wriggling. The totem in the distance that was waving maggots and dust also suddenly stopped moving.

Then, the maggots on the ground began to spin around in confusion.

The stone pillar under the corrupt head suddenly shattered, the surrounding dead trees withered, and the head fell to the ground.

The moment the head touched the ground, all the maggots seemed to have found their backbone and crawled towards the head. They gathered together, lifted the head up, and gradually flew away like a sedan chair.

"They don't seem to have any hostility towards us." Li Luo said with some surprise as he looked at the corrupt head being carried away.

"In their eyes, humans are very weak 'animated creatures'. This forest is full of more juicy prey. They won't waste time attacking us. Just now, it was just driven by the fear of animation."

"Then why does the Animated Fear target us?" Li Luo asked.

Zhou Chao shook his head: "Perhaps human fear is more delicious."

"Compared to these animated dead things, humans have richer experiences and more full emotions. The animated fear must be able to feel the difference. Perhaps in its eyes, we are very suitable prey."

"The fear of those lower creatures is certainly not as delicious as the fear of humans."

Listening to Zhou Chao's speculation, Li Luo was thoughtful.

"It seems that as the activated pollution deepens, these animated creatures will also begin to choose their prey."

Zhou Chao nodded in agreement. "Of course, the higher the intelligence, the more picky one is in choosing prey. Wild beasts only care about meat and don't care about anything else, but humans need to consider smell, taste, and the combination of meat and vegetables..."

"The same is true for those animated creatures. As their intelligence becomes higher and higher, when there is enough food, they will tend to choose tastier and more suitable food, and no longer rush towards living things frantically when they see them."

As Zhou Chao spoke, he looked deeper into the woods, and his tone became more serious.

"The intelligence of the animated creatures is beyond our imagination. Do you think that if we go further in, we will encounter animated creatures that can communicate, or even an already formed animated civilization?"

Hearing Zhou Chao's question, Li Luo also became worried.

"Perhaps. A civilization that emerged in such an environment would be extremely violent. If such a civilization really existed, it would definitely be extremely dangerous."

At this point in the conversation, both of them were worried about the road ahead.

The shadows of animated fear and animated corruption have not yet faded, and there may be even more terrifying and more difficult to deal with animated creatures in the future.

In the endless forest, those strange living creatures may be hiding in some unknown corner.

Li Luo was still gazing into the depths of the forest when he suddenly heard the sound of the wind.

She looked up and saw that it was Xiao Zi who was trying hard to chase the block.

After the Animated Corruption left, Xiao Zi seemed to realize that he no longer needed to maintain his defenses, and began to attack the cube.

But Mo Ling had anticipated this and controlled the cube to escape quickly.

"I don't believe you can catch up with me this time." Mo Ling argued with this stupid guy.

Li Luo looked at the scene of chasing each other, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Let's go." She turned around and shouted to Zhou Chao.

Zhou Chao was stunned for a moment, patted his head, and regained his spirit.

"Yeah, what am I daydreaming about? It's time to set off!"

"There is still a long way to go..."
