I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 651: Fire Flies into Moths
The tiny spark fell into the gaseous cloud, causing a local temperature rise.

The gases in the gaseous zone are originally very "pure" and no violent redox reactions will occur at all.

But as the number of metallic life forms increased, the metabolites they produced spread throughout this gaseous zone, making the gas here more "complex."

Not to mention the gaseous life forms that are everywhere, their bodies themselves are complex and active gaseous compounds.

Then, Mars passed through the clouds and everything around it caught fire.

The flaming moth tore a bright line of fire in the air, and then the line of fire became thicker and thicker, and finally turned into a pillar of fire shooting into the sky.

The scorching flames swayed, engulfing all the surrounding gas.

The burning brought about an air storm that swept across the gaseous zone, carrying more sparks to burn far away. The airflow was also constantly approaching the direction of the fire column to fill the burned gas.

Disaster has come...

The pillar of fire that devoured the world spread to the periphery at a terrifying speed. The creatures in the gaseous zone were burned to ashes by the terrifying temperature before they even realized what was happening.

The metal creatures could still resist for a while, but once the flames destroyed their body structure, they were powerless to recover.

Those gaseous life forms are even more fragile. Not only can they not withstand the extremely high temperatures, their bodies will also become fuel for combustion. Not only that, because of their own body structure, the exhaust gas produced by combustion is also extremely harmful to them.

The air was filled with smoke, and those gaseous creatures without much intelligence tried to escape, but they could not outrun the flames and smoke, and were swallowed up in the blink of an eye.

Soon, the flames swept across the entire gaseous zone, and most of the creatures inside were killed.

The charred earth is actually the waste left over from the burning of the liquid base. Under the earth, it is still burning, and no one knows how long it will last.

Gaseous life also completely became extinct, leaving only some metallic life that changed its form and hid in certain places in the wasteland.

As for the culprit vine...

Still hiding in the air, releasing a few burning moths from time to time.

But now, these moths can no longer cause combustion. They will only fall to the charred ground and gradually die out...

"That moth is called Thousand Light Wings, and is also recorded in the library."

"They originally lived in a vacuum environment. When the scales on their wings came into contact with different substances, they would ignite flames of different colors and types. These flames would even burn them themselves. Therefore, they cannot be placed in an environment other than a vacuum. The vines are simply sending them to their deaths..."

"I even suspect that it deliberately used the Thousand Light Wings to set this place on fire, causing it to become a place of devastation."

As the black shadow spoke, he squatted down and touched the devastated earth.

The arrival of the vines was undoubtedly a huge disaster here. The ecology was completely destroyed. Both the native species and the lives it brought were devastated.

But now it is still floating in the air, mechanically releasing its Thousand Light Wings, as if it doesn't care at all about the life or death of these lives.

"You see that? The vines are destroying everything..." The shadow looked at the cube and said seriously.

“Although this is a world in a book and everything is just the embodiment of knowledge, maybe one day it will bring such practices into reality.”

Listening to the black shadow's words, Mo Ling recalled the first time he saw those "synchronous residues".

He remembered clearly that the team members on the airship said that the synchronous residues in the air and sea were increasing.

Among the synchronous residues, Mo Ling also saw the retractable vines. If one day the vines really began to release life in the empty sea, it would also be very likely to completely destroy the environment of the entire fourth layer of the abyss. At that time, the pipeline fortress would definitely be affected.

Although the specific purpose and origin of the vine are still unknown, Mo Ling already has a full understanding of its behavior.

The war in Tianjin Mountain was also caused by it, and the gaseous zone was also destroyed because of it. The appearance of vines seems to bring no good.

"But is it really that simple?"

Those strange riddles about the eyeballs still echoed in Mo Ling's mind.

He always felt that there was a deeper secret behind this vine, but the most important thing at the moment was to leave here first.

Mo Ling looked at the jellies floating in the smoke.

Although the vines will hide their bodies, they will not care about these jellies.

The vines just escaped from here and left behind a lot of jelly.

Just like what we saw outside the Pipe Fortress, there are many strange pieces inside the jelly here, but perhaps because the jelly here is more scattered, the number of pieces is much smaller.

Mo Ling still remembers what happened when he first transmitted these things:
Because the collision between the synchronization residue and reality caused a violent spatial disorder, it almost killed everyone in the airship...

Mo Ling was wondering if he could use these jellies to leave here...

"You have tried to use these jellies before, right?" Mo Ling asked the black shadow using the electronic screen.

"Yes, but they lead to rifts. I dare not enter. The synchronization rate inside is constantly changing. Any drastic change in any parameter will tear me apart..."

"Besides, I'm not sure if these things are made by vines. They might be able to control where these jellies lead to, and they might set a trap for me. For safety reasons, I gave up the idea of ​​using them."

The black shadow answered truthfully that it had been here for so long and did not dare to touch the jellies casually. Rather than taking risks, it would rather stay safely in the library.

But Mo Ling didn't think so...

"Since the vines can pass through these passages, it means that these passages are safe."

When in the Huasheng Islands, Mo Ling also entered the rift void.

He discovered that the rift void was not as disordered, chaotic, and dangerous as he had imagined...

"If it was really dangerous, there wouldn't be so many civilizations. Moreover, there wouldn't be advanced civilizations like the Mercury Creatures that can build spaceships."

There are definitely dangerous areas and safe areas in the rift.

No matter how much the synchronization rate changes, there will always be relatively stable areas.

The vines can carry so many weak creatures back and forth between the channels, and they must be utilizing the stable areas within the rifts. Otherwise, those weak creatures simply would not be able to withstand it.

Thinking of this, Mo Ling became even more curious about where the jelly led to.

"Maybe we can find the vine's true form?"

As he thought about it, he controlled the cube and flew towards the scattered jellies...
