I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 492: Starlight Guides the Way Forward
The sky gradually darkened. Li Luo and Zhou Chao talked as they walked deeper and deeper along the passage.

The fallen trees on both sides of the road looked much thicker than they were at the beginning. They seemed to be very old trees, and the diameter of the trees was almost as tall as a person.

If these trees were still alive, they would probably block out the sun and the forest would be completely obscured by their shadows.

But now, all these ancient trees have been chopped into pieces in various ways and piled on both sides of the road.

"These are all revitalized ancient trees, right? Were they all cleaned up by Lord Ying?" Mo Ling was a little surprised as he looked at the endless wood.

There is certainly more to that projector than meets the eye.

Although the projection attacks seen before were very strange, they were not enough to harm these thick ancient trees.

"Does it have other films that can project other attacks?"

Mo Ling didn't know what other animated relics were helping Lord Ying besides the small bottle cap, and the power of these relics should not be underestimated.

Mo Ling guessed that the relics on the island might be divided into two camps, one was Lord Ying and the other was the Eye of the Stars.

The Star Eye side wants to spread the activation, but Lord Ying has been eliminating the activation.

"If they were not of similar strength, the two would not have been in a stalemate for so long."

Lord Ying only mentioned the power of the Eye of Stars, but concealed its own strength.

"Also, why would the Eye of Stars hide in the center of Sky Island? If it is really as powerful as Master Ying said, it could have fought its way out long ago, right?"

Mo Ling was wondering when Li Luo and Zhou Chao suddenly stopped.

They seemed to be staring at something in the distance, and blue light began to reflect in their pupils.

"It's starlight." Zhou Chao said in a daze. Mo Ling almost thought that he was deceived by the Eye of Stars, but he soon returned to normal.

"Is it my illusion? The starry sky seems to have fallen to the ground." He turned his head and asked Li Luo in disbelief.

The night has not yet completely fallen, but Li Luo's eyes are already full of stars.

"We are walking into the galaxy."

"Yes, that galaxy is so beautiful." Zhou Chao looked forward again, and after a while, he became dull again.

There seemed to be something wrong with both of them, their eyes were full of longing.

Mo Ling was a little worried. He had personally seen the scene of the Eye of Stars being used. The temptation of the starlight was not something that ordinary creatures could resist.

At this time, Li Luo and Zhou Chao couldn't help but quicken their pace.

"Didn't Master Ying say that the film could protect us? Why didn't it work?"

Just as Mo Ling was doubting, the film on the top of the block suddenly flickered faintly, and then it split into two pieces and flew in front of Li Luo and Zhou Chao, blocking their vision like sunglasses.

Then, the two pieces of film slowly faded and disappeared.

Li Luo and Zhou Chao's hurried footsteps gradually stopped, and then they looked at each other, with caution in their eyes.

"Do you feel it?" Li Luo asked seriously.

"I felt it. It was such a strong attraction. My consciousness just now even felt like it was leaving my body and flying towards the starlight in advance." Zhou Chao touched his temple and said with some lingering fear: "That kind of attraction is unconscious, just like placing a seed of desire in your heart, and then it quickly sprouts. Unconsciously, those starlights will become what you desire most. I didn't even realize that something was wrong."

Li Luo stretched out his hand and waved it in front of his eyes, then walked to the block and looked at the top of the block. The film that had just appeared had now disappeared again.

"So the film given by Master Ying can really protect us?"

"It seems so. It should be isolating us from the starlight, like an invisible filter superimposed in front of our eyes."

Zhou Chao also touched what was in front of him, but neither of them could feel the disappearing film. However, there was no doubt that the film had taken effect.

"Huh~" Zhou Chao breathed a sigh of relief: "I don't want to experience that feeling again. When I was talking to you just now, I thought everything was normal..."

The temptation of starlight happens in an instant, and the seduced creature will not realize that it has been affected.

However, now that the film has taken effect, the two no longer have to worry about repeating the same mistake.

"Since we can see the starlight, it means we are not far from the Eye of the Stars. Let's keep moving forward..."

This road that Lord Ying opened specifically for them seemed to lead directly to the starlight. Before long, the road was covered with light, and even the broken wood on both sides of the road was dotted with stars.

Mo Ling also saw the "falling starry sky" that Zhou Chao mentioned.

The road paved with stars is indeed like a flowing galaxy. The distance of the road gradually becomes blurred and merges into the starry sky covering the earth.

Although the lure of starlight has been blocked by film, its fascinating beauty remains.

At the edge of the starry sky, Mo Ling could see the tall ancient trees. The starlight seemed to be protecting them, preventing Lord Ying's power from entering.

Beyond a layer of faint arc light is the collapsed woodland plain, forming a sharp contrast between the two sides.

Those ancient trees are lush and leafy, and it seems that there is a star living on each leaf, and the branches are the lines connecting the stars.

The evening breeze blows, the stars sway, reflecting the twinkling starlight.

These ancient trees are integrated with the starry sky, a mixture of reality and illusion. They exist on this sky island and are rooted around the galaxy, which is extremely harmonious.

However, under this beautiful starlight, Mo Ling felt creepy.

He knew that those ancient trees were not ordinary trees, but ancient trees that had been completely revived and had independent consciousness.

But these consciousnesses were completely imprisoned by the light produced by the Eye of the Stars. Although they were all rooted on the Sky Island, their consciousnesses might have already flowed into the empty galaxy.

As the night deepened, the faint blue light band in the starry forest became more and more obvious. It was wrapped around every ancient tree, locking all the ancient trees together like a chain.

Faint suspended points of light echoed in the light band, like consciousnesses separated from the body.

Mo Ling remembered very clearly that Lord Ying said that the consciousness of the Starry Eye came from the stars, and at this moment, those light spots echoing in the dark blue light band were very much like the electrical signals echoing in neurons.

A gust of wind blew, stimulating the shaking leaves, which turned from blue to red. Bubble-like light spots escaped from the purple light band, spread along the axon to the distance, and spread to another big tree.

The starlight on the tree turned red, and the leaves moved without wind...

"The Eye of the Stars, does it really just treat stars as neurons?"
