I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 629 Smell

At this time, Mo Ling was no longer as confused as he was at the beginning.

This world of smells is dangerous, and the aroma of grass and woods reminded him more than once.

Harmless smells are everywhere, but there are also many dangerous smells. They are either hidden in other smells, or gathered into a huge smell group, and you will be trapped in it if you are not careful.

But Mo Ling didn't want to stay in the cradle anymore. This was not out of anger, but he felt that he should face the world alone and experience those smells that he had never felt before.

"If you want to get out, grab me. If you don't want to, just stay back."

The leader gave Mo Ling a choice, and after a moment of hesitation, the fragrance of grass and trees chose to let go.

Mo Ling also grasped the fruity scent without hesitation, slowly drifting out of the protection of the aroma of plants and trees.

The smells around him became clear again. Although the fruity and herbal scents still lingered around him, they could no longer interfere with his perception. Those complex and chaotic natural smells slowly surrounded Mo Ling.

"After that, you will have to go on alone..." The fruity scent lingered for a while, then slowly drifted away, leaving only a faint aftertaste.

The fragrance of the plants and trees lingered behind Mo Ling for a long time, but finally became fainter and fainter and chose to let go.

"Take care of yourself……"

The scent of plants and trees, which had always been very steady, was now trembling a little.

Mo Ling turned around and wanted to say goodbye to the guardian who had always protected him in his own way, but the fragrance of the grass and trees had drifted away, leaving nothing behind.

I decided to let it go and never looked back.

The natural scent of the flowers gradually became dominant. Mo Ling stayed quietly in the natural fluctuations for a while, then drifted away with the flow...

Smells are like rivers. Different rivers will intertwine and mix with each other, and they will also branch out and move away. The direction of rivers is fixed because the river valleys have long been determined. The direction of smells is complex and changeable because the wind can carry the smell to anywhere.

The scent bee can control the free movement of odor molecules and can even swim upstream. Although Mo Ling's body is filled with uncollapsed odor molecules, his ability to move is not affected.

Apart from being unable to control the concentration and speed up his movement, he could still freely roam in those turbulent flows of smell.

This is also something that makes him feel very fortunate.

However, Mo Ling still chose a less laborious way and went with the flow.

Because this way he can quickly find the place he wants...

The scent flowed around the flowers and finally came to a nearby crevice. This crevice was the only gorge nearby, so the surrounding air currents would converge here, and similarly, different types of smells would also meet here.

After arriving here, Mo Ling gently leaned on the rock wall.

This was the "residence" he had chosen for himself.

Bees generally do not leave the point where the smell is produced. Those with floral scents will not leave the flowers, and those with fruity scents will not leave the fruit trees, because this allows them to hunt better.

But Mo Ling had no desire to hunt. He could not grow stronger through hunting, but only through self-replication of odor molecules. He chose this rock wall as his residence for only one reason - the smells here were very rich.

There were enough smells here for him to come into contact with, and the wind blowing through the cracks in the rocks would change direction depending on the weather and the changes in day and night, so that he could feel smells from different directions.

The wind would bring smells from far away, and the mixed smells would gather in the cracks of the rocks, and Mo Ling could easily receive these smells.

"Maybe there's a smell in there that will allow me to complete the solidification."

Mo Ling still didn't give up on solidifying. He always believed that there was nothing wrong with his body, but that he had not found the right smell yet.

"As long as I keep being exposed to different smells, maybe I can find the right one... a pungent smell that can make those stubborn smell molecules collapse." With great expectations, Mo Ling leaned against the rock wall and began to feel the breeze blowing through the cracks in the rocks.

"Flowers, grass, fruit, soil..."

Countless smells caressed Mo Ling's body. These smells came and went quickly, but for Mo Ling who had already memorized these smells, it was not a problem.

Feeling these smells, Mo Ling was slowly immersed in them.

Before, he had never felt the natural smell so carefully, and was often caught back into the cradle before feeling it for long. This was the first time he stayed in the smell flow for so long.

Only by spending enough time can you feel the magic of nature.

The breeze continued to blow, and Mo Ling actually sniffed out all the information about the flowers from the smells:
Where are the flowers? What kinds of flowers are there? Are there any companions among them?
The fertility, moisture, and specific composition of the soil...

Are the fruit trees ripe? The number, distribution, size of the fruit...

Is it going to rain? How humid is the air?

Mo Ling would not have been able to determine this information in the past because he had too little free time.

To understand this information, one key factor is required: change.

——The smell changes according to time.

It could be the concentration, purity, or the change in direction of the odor flow.

The smell is not static. Only by feeling the changes in the smell can we judge the specific state of things.

"The smell of rain is increasing. It should rain soon..."

“The fruity aromas are increasing in intensity, but suddenly there’s an earthy smell mixed in… and some rotten smell?”

"I see, some fruit has fallen to the ground."

By sniffing the smell, Mo Ling actually understood the condition of the entire flower bush in a short period of time.

He was completely immersed in it, and before he knew it, a long time had passed.

It was not until night fell and the breeze blowing through the cracks in the rocks changed direction that Mo Ling came back to his senses from the perception of the smell.

"So interesting."

Mo Ling never thought that understanding the world through smell would be such an interesting thing.

Perhaps because his body was filled with uncollapsed odor molecules, he was extremely sensitive to smells and could easily capture those tiny changes. Therefore, the entire world of smells was unusually clear to Mo Ling.

The wind in the cracks of the rocks changed direction, and the odor molecules it carried were completely changed. Before Mo Ling had time to sigh, his attention was attracted by the smells he had never felt before.

"Is it the outside world? Outside the cracks in the rocks?"

The breeze blew through the cracks in the rocks, and information from the outside world poured into Mo Ling's mind like a tide.

"The smell of water is very strong and it keeps gushing out. Is that a stream? Or a waterfall?"

"It smells like some kind of fruit. It's very sweet, but there seems to be something wrong with the smell. Is it toxic? Or hallucinogenic?"

"Why is there a burning smell in the distance? Is there a fire?"
