I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 542 "Vibrant"

"All right……"

Xi stood up and stretched, his bones making a creaking sound.

"The treatment is complete... Let's go to that forest first. After we pass through that forest, we will see the way out of the island."

A breeze blew over from the lake, and the ripples on the lake surface spread to the shore. Light waves rushed onto the shore, and everything seemed so calm.

But Li Luo frowned. She smelled the smell of the wind carefully, and the moist water vapor rushed into her nostrils.

"Do you smell a fishy smell?"

"Fishy smell? There seems to be a little bit, maybe it's dead fish."

Li Luo looked at the lake, the water was still rippling, she felt that it was not the smell of dead fish...

"Let's go."

"it is good."

The two walked towards the forest in the distance. The wind was still blowing. Li Luo turned his head from time to time and looked into the lake. The fishy smell never dissipated, and it did not weaken at all even when they were far away from the shore.

"Fresh meat, dirt, weeds..."

Li Luo suddenly realized that it was not a fishy smell, but a mixture of countless smells, the fragrance of grass, the smell of soil, the light freshness of raw meat...

"And there's more."

Ground wheat, torn bark, fallen nails...

"Wait!" Li Luo suddenly woke up: "Why can I sense the source of these smells? And distinguish them so clearly?"

Moreover, the smells seemed to come not only from the lake, but also from the woods ahead.

The wind direction suddenly changed. The wind that was originally blowing from the lake suddenly turned back, and a strange smell blew in from the forest.

At this time, the two were getting closer and closer to the forest, and Li Luo also found that the swaying leaves seemed a little strange.

After walking forward for a distance, Li Luo's eyes passed through the lingering clouds at the top of the forest and finally saw clearly what the thing hanging on the tree was.

The first time he saw those "leaves", Li Luo was stunned.

"Xi, do you see the woods ahead?"

"I saw it, what's wrong?"

"Those leaves..."

Xi had not been looking closely at the green leaves. He had been feeling the "breath of life" on Senluo Island. This is the island with the richest species in the Huasheng Islands and also the most vibrant island.

Because he hadn't been here for a long time, Xi missed the smell of the island and was immersed in memories.

It wasn't until Li Luo reminded him that he noticed the strange "leaves".

"Has it always been like this on Senluo Island?" Li Luo asked curiously.

What Li Luo didn't expect was that Xi's reaction was the same as hers.

Xi looked at the swaying leaves from afar and froze in place.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

Xi asked as he rushed forward, and Li Luo immediately followed him.

After rushing to the side of the forest, Xi stood upright with the ball of light on his head flashing continuously, obviously having suffered a huge shock.

"The trees planted here should be iron green trees. Their leaves are needle-shaped and sparkle like emeralds..."

Xi pointed at the weeds on the ground and said, "This is probably the sun-avoiding grass, a plant that can only survive in the shade. Its leaves are oval and plump, and very cute."

The weeds here indeed only grow in the shade, but their leaves are not cute at all. They are all organs from different organisms, as if they were painted with a layer of green paint and then forcibly blended with the grass roots.

The habits were the same, but the appearance was completely changed, becoming a strange sutured state. Xi immediately found the crux of the problem. He carefully placed his hand on a sutured tree, wanting to further understand what happened to these trees.

But as soon as his hand touched the bark, it bounced away quickly.

"This is not bark..." Xi looked at his hands, a little surprised.

He extended a finger again and placed it gently on the bark.

"Meat?"

He pressed down gently, and his fingertips pierced through the fat bark and went in without any hindrance.

Xi pulled his hand out tremblingly, and yellow sap flowed out of the wound he had poked, but the smell was not deceiving, and the strong smell of blood quickly spread, and even Li Luo who was not far away could smell it.

Then, some white pus flowed out along with the resin. The pus had a strange milky fragrance and some round particles in it, like nodules of some biological organism.

Xi held up his finger and froze again.

This experienced doctor was completely confused by this situation.

"Flesh bark? Bloody sap? Milky resin? What on earth is this?"

Xi stepped back in a daze, away from the big tree that was still flowing with strange liquid.

Just then, a gust of wind blew, and a sharp hissing suddenly came from the big tree.

"what!!!"

Xi was so frightened that he trembled and almost fell down.

"Something's wrong! This must be a disease! A disease that will cause biological organisms to become alienated!" Xi made a judgment immediately, walked forward again, and put his hand on the tree.

However, not long after, he quickly moved away from the tree.

"The cause is wrong! The treatment has failed. What's going on?"

Li Luo became nervous when he saw Xi's startled expression.

"Can't doctors 'define' diseases? Why did the treatment fail?" she asked in confusion.

In her view, He could have defined this alienation as a disease and cured it, just as he had done with the stalactites.

Xi immediately understood Li Luo's doubts and explained, "No, we can only define objective facts as diseases, so we must understand the cause before we can define it."

"I have to know why stalactites are stalactites so I can treat them."

"I don't know why the trees are like this, so I can't treat them."

"It's not alienation, it's not disease, it's not relic contamination... I've tried everything, the cause is wrong."

Xi's tone became more and more nervous. If he couldn't find the cause of the disease, he would have no way to deal with it.

Listening to Xi's explanation, Li Luo also understood that the premise for a doctor to use healing power is based on "knowledge". Once faced with an unknown disease, it will be completely useless.

It seems that this powerful force still has certain limitations.

For now, we can only figure out what happened on Senluo Island and why these plants became what they are now.

Thinking of this, Li Luo quickly said to Xi: "Don't worry, do you know what happened on Senluo Island recently?"

"I don't know. I have been sleeping in the red spirit flowers. Of course I don't know."

"And before you fell asleep?"

"Before?"

Xi fell into deep thought, and those vague memories slowly came to his mind.

"Before... this place was used as a species protection area. When I came here last time, everything on the island was normal..."
