I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 612 Ear

There was no fluctuation in the tone of the giant earfly's speech, but Mo Ling could sense its pessimism. Facing a flock of predatory birds, this earfly known as the "Grand Chief" was helpless.

The guard was still unwilling to give up. He approached the patriarch and said with some sadness, "But we have just settled down. Everyone has just adapted to this place. The newborns have just been born. If we leave now, the newborns may not be able to adapt to the migration and they may die..."

After hearing the guard's words, the patriarch fell silent. After a long time, his voice was heard again.

"If you leave now, you can still survive partially. If you stay, you will all die."

"Is there no other way?"

"No." The chief said bluntly: "The flock of predatory birds is invincible. If you resist stubbornly, you will only die. You are still young, you don't know how prosperous the original earfly population was. But such a prosperous population could not resist the flock of predatory birds, let alone us now..."

At this point, the chieftain seemed a little sad, and told the guard about the past of the earfly tribe...

The ear fly is a very weak creature.

They feed on sounds and are found everywhere in the mountains and forests.

Our ancestors, generation after generation, have lived in the depths of the Tianjin Mountain.

From the moment they are born, newborns cannot be exposed to loud noises and can only feed on soft sounds.

The sound of a gurgling stream, the rustling of leaves in the wind, the friction of insects crawling in the mountains... newborns will eat up these fragile sounds and grow up slowly.

As they grow up, their ability to withstand sounds will become stronger and their thinking will become clearer, and they will no longer be as confused as when they were young.

At that time, the earfly tribe established a huge tribe in the depths of Tianjin Mountain. There was no competition for resources between them and other creatures. They just wanted to slowly collect various sounds and then pass them on to other companions.

They can imitate different sounds and transmit these sounds to other groups. Through constant communication, the tribal civilization of ear flies becomes more and more prosperous.

The more sounds they collected, the clearer their understanding of the world became, and they began to study the nature of sound.

Thanks to their powerful hearing and understanding of sound, they quickly figured out the source of the sound.

The essence of sound is the vibration of things, and different vibrations manifest themselves as different sounds.

The ear flies also discovered that they do not actually feed on sound, but on the energy transmitted by sound.

Newborns can withstand less energy, while adults can withstand more energy. As ear flies age, they are exposed to more and more sound energy.

After figuring out the nature of sound, ear flies began to systematically study various sounds. They classified sounds from different sources and transmitted by different media. These weak creatures knocked on the door of "science" for the first time and began the process of civilization.

However, they only think about understanding the world through different sounds, but have never thought about using sounds to make weapons and strengthen themselves.

They have always lived in peace with the world and have no natural enemies, so they would never have imagined that a disaster would come quietly.

The predatory bird appeared...

These giant birds that appeared out of nowhere had amazing reproductive abilities, copper heads, iron feathers, sharp teeth and claws. They suddenly appeared from the other side of Tianjin Mountain.

The ear flies had no idea where they came from, and without any warning, they suddenly swarmed into Tianjin Mountain. These predatory birds frantically devoured any living creature they saw, and any living thing that could move would be surrounded and killed by them.

The ear flies were so obsessed with the study of sound that they had no idea that disaster was coming. In just three days, the entire ear fly tribe deep in Tianjin Mountain was slaughtered to the point where only one tenth of them remained.

Some ear flies tried to resist, but were slaughtered even more thoroughly.

Some tribes of ear flies discovered that predatory birds would only attack moving creatures, so they hid underground, pretending to be motionless plants. However, the predatory birds could see through their disguise and dig them out from the ground.

For places that are inaccessible, predatory birds will find ways to destroy them, leaving absolutely no way for anyone to survive.

In the end, the remaining ear flies were either injured or escaped, and the budding of civilization was forcibly suppressed.

The ear flies were divided into different groups and fled to different places, but every time they arrived at a place, the predatory birds would chase them after a period of time, and the ear flies had no chance to rebuild civilization.

Although ear flies reproduce very quickly, newborns cannot withstand enough sound energy when they are born and can only grow up in quiet places. Therefore, every migration will cause the death of a large number of newborns.

However, faced with this terrifying bird, the ear flies had no choice but to migrate, and so the population continued to fall apart.

They ran from the depths of Tianjin Mountain to the outskirts, from the outskirts to hide in the forest, and from the forest to hide in the caves outside the beach. After hiding for many twists and turns, those ear flies that had witnessed the slaughter of flocks of predatory birds were mostly killed.

The remaining newborns were urged to continue escaping before they had the chance to appreciate the beauty of the world of sound when they grew up.

"I don't want to keep running away... I was just a messenger of the tribe..."

“Then, during my first escape, I became an escort transporting newborns.”

"The second time, I was ordered to be the guard of the old patriarch."

"By the fifth time, the old patriarch died, and I became the acting patriarch."

"The sixth and seventh time, they supported me to become the new patriarch."

"The eighth time, we escaped unharmed... The ninth and tenth times, we encountered many dangers, but I managed to escape with everyone..."

"You may not understand how terrifying those predatory birds are. They won't completely make you lose consciousness. They will use their sharp beaks to drill holes in your body and take you to their nests to let their cubs gnaw on you. If you dare to resist, they will step on you with their claws, torture you, and tear you apart completely..."

"That's how the old patriarch died. I don't want to see any of my compatriots go through that again."

The patriarch's voice trembled, and when he finished speaking, the ear flies present were all stunned, and there was silence in the depths of the cave.

The fear brought by the predatory birds has been deeply engraved in the heart of the patriarch. He does not have the courage to think of other ways to deal with it, nor does he dare to gamble with the safety of the entire tribe.

However, at this moment, the earfly that brought Mo Ling here broke the silence:
"They are indeed terrible, but they are not invincible."

"What?" The chief asked in disbelief, "Did the Tree Hole Clan find a way to deal with them?"

"Yes," the earfly replied, "but we failed..."
