I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 578: Center of the Maze
"Do you feel it? Such a strong smell of medicine."

"Yes, the wind is strong too. There are high walls everywhere here, so how can there be wind?"

After everyone came to a new passage, they suddenly felt something strange.

The rabbit that Li Luo was leading rushed madly towards a crack at the end of the passage. Seeing this, Li Luo quickly quickened his pace and passed through the crack. The doctors behind him immediately followed.

When they saw the scene outside the crack, everyone was stunned.

"what is that?"

Outside the crack was a huge square, surrounded by high walls. The ground was covered with constantly wriggling black mud. In the center of the square, a huge spherical ball of light was suspended in the air. There were countless black particles surrounding the light ball. Upon closer inspection, they were those strange little black balls.

These black balls formed "star rings" surrounding the light ball. Sometimes they merged into the light ball, and sometimes they emerged from the light ball. These black balls seemed to have formed some kind of wonderful balance with the light ball.

From the doctors' perspective, outside of those star rings, there are countless medicines. Those medicines carry terrifying power, like some kind of aggregated bombs, but these unstable bombs are maintained in a near-limit state, floating in the square.

"Look at that black mud!" exclaimed a doctor.

Everyone looked over there and saw that from the squirming black mud on the square's ground, a headless body would occasionally float up. They were like driftwood, rising and falling in the waves of the mud.

"It's the elders! Those are the bodies of the elders."

The doctors recognized the elder's body and immediately tried to rush forward, but were stopped by Xi.

"Those are just bodies. The elders... are on top." Xi pointed at the huge ball of light and said, "The elders have gathered their strength together."

Xi recognized that the huge ball of light was the incarnation of the elders gathered together, but why did the elders do this? Was it to deal with those black balls?

At this time, the black balls surrounded, seemingly restricting the power of the light ball, but the black balls did not launch any attacks, and the unstable medicines were stuck in a critical state, floating quietly in the air, as if waiting for something.

"Xiao Zi, let it go." Li Luo gave an order to the rope in his hand.

Xiao Zi immediately let go of the black rabbit. The freed rabbit kicked its legs wildly and rushed directly into the black mud in the center of the square until it merged into it.

“Is this actually its destination?”

Is this the center of the maze?

Li Luo raised his head and looked at the high walls around him.

“Even if it’s not the center, it must be an important hub.”

Xi watched the rabbit run into the black mud, and without hesitation, he immediately said to his companions behind him: "We have to rescue the bodies of the elders, and we have to go to the ball of light to see what happened."

Hearing Xi's suggestion, Poker immediately said: "I will take some of my companions to rescue the body. Xi, you take a team of companions into the light group."

"After we enter the ball of light, our bodies must stay behind, and someone must watch over our bodies."

"Let me do it." Li Luo said calmly, "I'll let Xiao Zi help you rescue the bodies of the elders."

As he spoke, Li Luo gave instructions to Xiao Zi, and Xiao Zi obediently flew to Poke's side.

This time, Xiao Zi didn't attack the block.

A flash of doubt flashed through Li Luo's mind: "Could it be that Xiao Zi has become smarter?"

But this is a good thing, so she doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

It didn't take long for everyone to assign their respective tasks. Xi's team of doctors quickly fell into a daze, and their consciousness also entered the ball of light.

……

"Are you all right? Everyone."

"Okay, where is this place?"

"It should be a space formed by the elders' healing spaces..."

The doctors stood on a piece of pure black ground, which was extremely flat and boundless. When they looked up at the sky, it was pure white.

Black and white, they are at the intersection.

"It's all black balls... What's going on? Where are the elders?" A doctor asked in confusion, looking at the ground.

This endless land was made up entirely of those black balls. When the doctors noticed these black balls, they all panicked.

They all had a deep shadow of black balls, and the black ball on the ground immediately aroused their fear.

"They are all fake, don't be afraid!" Xi shouted immediately.

"But they are so real. I can feel that they are not something that originally existed in the healing space..."

"Why are they able to enter the healing space? What is this? Can they find us no matter where we hide?"

"Even if it's real, they won't move." Xi hurriedly comforted.

"But I seem to feel a vibration. Are they changing? Will they become giants?"

As soon as the doctor finished speaking, the black ball under him suddenly surged up, and then turned into a burly headless giant, lifting him up from the ground.

"Run!" Xi shouted decisively.

The doctors reacted immediately and fled away.

The doctor who was lifted up by the giant also quickly jumped down from the giant. The giant's arm hit him hard on the back. The doctor narrowly avoided the strong arm and fled back to the team.

"You'll really turn into a giant! How come everything you say comes true?"

The doctors fled frantically into the distance. After the giant's body was fully formed, he shook his body and chased after the fleeing doctors.

"Is there any way to deal with him?" the doctors said anxiously.

At the giant's speed, he will soon catch up with them.

"No, we don't know what those black balls are, so we can't activate the healing process. There's nothing here except those black balls!"

This vast plain was filled with endless black balls. The doctors had no one to heal and no place to hide. In this black land, their balls of light were like candles in the darkness, and they had no way of avoiding the giants' pursuit.

"Fortunately there is only one! Let's spread out and these giants will come to a standstill when their targets are scattered." A doctor reminded.

"Are you sure?"

"Confirmed! This is what my companions and I tested before, but I was caught before I could apply it."

"Then do as you say."

When the giant was about to catch the doctors, they suddenly fled in all directions. When the giant saw this, he froze in place, as if he had completely lost his judgment.

"Success!"

"Push it down quickly!" the doctor reminded again.

Upon hearing this, several brave doctors did not hesitate and went straight behind the giant and pushed his legs. The giant's body tilted and he fell to the ground.

"Okay, once it falls to the ground, it can never stand up again."

The giant recovered from its suspended state after a while. However, as the doctor said, it seemed that it had no intention of "getting up". It just kept struggling on the ground. Its huge body smashed the surrounding ground into pieces, but it was unable to stand up.

"Why is this happening? Can't it even run? How come it can't even get up?" some doctors who didn't understand the situation asked in confusion.

"This is not in its settings. They are not living creatures, but some kind of weapons that need additional settings. They have settings for running, catching, struggling, destroying, etc., but there is no setting for getting up." The doctor who reminded everyone explained: "So, as long as they fall to the ground, they will completely lose the ability to move."
