I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 611: Sound in the Forest

"Buzz."

"Buzzing."

In Mo Ling's vision, there was still an endless red, and his perception seemed to be still imprisoned.

He felt himself separated from the body of the finger worm and fell into the depths of the sea of ​​blood again.

But in the originally extremely silent sea of ​​blood, there was actually a faint "buzzing" sound, like a fly hovering around your ear...

……

"Escape, escape far away..."

Mo Ling gradually discovered that he could actually understand those strange buzzing sounds. This was a very concise language that distinguished vocabulary and semantics through the length and heaviness of the different "buzzing" sounds.

"Run away? Why run away?"

Mo Ling asked hesitantly. His voice reached the front and reflected back. Feeling the bounced sound, he was actually able to outline an outline in his mind.

The outline looked like an ear, which was constantly spinning in the air, urging Mo Ling to escape.

"A flock of predatory birds is coming. We must escape. Once we are discovered by them, we will all die." The voice became very urgent. Mo Ling could feel that it was very anxious.

Seeing that Mo Ling was still hesitating, the creature that looked like an ear floated over and pushed Mo Ling away.

"Listen for yourself, how many birds are there in the flock? If you don't run now it will be too late. Why are you still in a daze?" the voice questioned.

Can I listen to it myself?
Mo Ling was still confused, but his body started to move on its own.

As his body shook, tiny sound waves passed through the forest. When they reflected back again, Mo Ling had already determined the number of birds in the flock. The dense number completely stunned Mo Ling.

"What kind of creature is that...so scary."

"How many are there? Thousands? No, tens of thousands!"

The flock of predatory birds blocked out the sky and the sound echoed throughout the forest. Countless sharp bird calls startled the mosquitoes in the forest. The predatory birds swarmed over and devoured the panicked mosquitoes. Not only that, other creatures in the forest were also besieged. Even those huge beasts were torn to pieces by the siege of this group of crazy birds.

Those predatory birds that failed to grab food actually began to gnaw on the bodies of their companions. With their shrill cries, blood spilled from the sky, causing another round of scramble.

The sound of wings flapping, the wailing of the wounded, the clashing of beaks, the tearing sound of claws scratching the body...

Countless terrifying voices entered Mo Ling's body. Now, he no longer needed his companions to urge him and immediately fled into the distance...

"I thought you were scared silly." said the companion fearfully.

"No, I just didn't react... Where are we going?"

"Run out of the forest and hide by the sea. The predatory birds will stay in that forest for a long time, so we should be able to delay it for a while."

"Okay." Mo Ling responded in a daze. At this moment, all he could sense was the sounds of predatory birds fighting each other. Those sounds kept echoing in his mind, stirring up waves of uncontrollable fear and nausea.

As Mo Ling and his companions moved farther away, the sounds in the forest became blurred.

"The flock of predatory birds seems to have stopped..." The companion listened carefully and confirmed.

"What are they doing?"

The companion continued to listen for a while, then said with some fear: "They are killing each other."

Kill each other?

"Why are they killing each other?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

"Because there is not enough food in the forest. They have killed all the living things, leaving only some insects hiding. They don't like to eat plants, so they can only devour their companions. You know, these crazy birds will do anything for food..."

The companion's voice was filled with fear of the predatory birds, and he just forced himself to calm down and explain the matter of the predatory birds to Mo Ling. "If they kill each other like this, won't the entire tribe be wiped out?"

"No, even if we kill them all, they will quickly reproduce into new groups. If the baby birds of those crazy birds get enough nutrition, they will only need half a day to grow into full-fledged birds."

"I've heard from other ear flies that these predatory birds have no gender. They only need to take in enough nutrients to reproduce individually, and what they lay are not eggs, but larvae..."

Such a terrifying creature, how could it reproduce so easily? Mo Ling was completely stunned.

"These predatory birds are natural disasters. Facing them, we have no other choice but to avoid them..." The companion's voice was full of helplessness. Faced with these crazy birds, no one could think of resisting.

At the same time, Mo Ling also extracted other information from his companions' words.

"Ear flies? Are you talking about creatures like us?"

Mo Ling made a slight buzzing sound and sensed his own outline in the reflection of the sound. Sure enough, he looked exactly like his companion.

“Am I an ear fly too?”

A strange thought suddenly arose in Mo Ling's mind, and he suddenly felt that he should not be an earfly.

But when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't remember what he originally looked like.

And now, he is becoming more and more adept at using the earfly's abilities.

"If I'm not an earfly, why would I use the ability of an earfly?" This made Mo Ling even more confused.

"Who am I?"

Just when Mo Ling was confused, excited voices came from his companions.

"There are other ear fly colonies on the beach, so we are really lucky."

Other groups? Mo Ling listened carefully and there was indeed a slight buzzing sound in the distance. Those were other ear flies talking, but they seemed to be hiding in a secret place.

"Here." The companion took Mo Ling directly into a cave by the sea. After passing through the winding crevices of the cave, they soon found the base of this ethnic group.

"Which tribe are you from?" A guard earfly stopped in front of them and asked Mo Ling and his companion.

"From the Tree Hole Tribe." replied the companion.

"You came here, is there something wrong?" Upon hearing that they were from the tree hole tribe, the guard earfly softened its voice a little.

"A flock of predatory birds has entered the forest and is now devouring everything in the forest. In order to escape, all the companions in our tribe have scattered..." When talking about his experience, the companion's voice was still trembling.

"A flock of predatory birds?" The guard was surprised. "Have they reached the forest?"

"Come with me!" The guard immediately became nervous and brought Mo Ling and his companions to the depths of the cave.

"Great Patriarch, these two are escapees from the Tree Hole Clan, and they brought important news!"

The guard quickly relayed the information about the arrival of the flock of predatory birds to the patriarch in front of him.

This ear fly that had been floating deep in the cave was extremely large, twice the size of a normal ear fly. It hung in the air and listened quietly to the guard's report.

"Great Patriarch, what should we do?" the guard asked anxiously.

"Escape." The patriarch answered without hesitation.

"Why? We just moved here not long ago and our community hasn't developed yet. Are we going to escape again? We can't keep hiding from them, can we?" The guard was very unwilling.

The patriarch floated quietly in the air. He didn't seem surprised at all by the arrival of the predatory bird, and his emotions didn't fluctuate at all.

"Besides running away...is there any other way?"
