I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 654: Dry Remains
Mo Ling knew very well that what he saw was not the complete form of the vine.

This may just be a corner of its body. Even if it is dry, it does not prove that the entire vine is dead.

"Maybe, this is just part of it fading..."

And the vine that appeared in the Tianjin Mountain world may be an extension of another part, and those small vines in the jelly may also be the living part.

As Mo Ling thought about it, he controlled the block to slowly float forward and approach the edge of the dry vine.

Countless debris were floating around, and white spots of light were crossing the surface of the cube.

There are many more light spots here, and when they pass through the squares, they look like a twinkling galaxy. It looks very beautiful, but Mo Ling has no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery at this time.

He looked into the dry vines, wanting to check whether the dry vines were really dead.

But unexpectedly, he saw a scene that shocked him...

I saw that the thick tendrils were densely packed with eyeballs of different sizes!
These eyeballs, like the vines, have completely lost their moisture and are completely shriveled.

Although they were beyond recognition, Mo Ling could still tell that these shriveled "raisins" were the eyeballs of living creatures!
"It's all eyes. The vines are full of eyes!"

Mo Ling was stunned on the spot, and couldn't believe what he saw.

"And they are not the eyes of the same creature. Each eye is different!"

Fish, birds, reptiles, and many others that could not be distinguished at all. Their eyes had become so shriveled that their original structure could no longer be seen, but Mo Ling could still see that these eyes came from many different creatures.

"Why are these eyes in the vines?"

Was it collected on purpose?

Or is this the internal structure?

Mo Ling looked at those eyes and felt a chill in his heart. He seemed to see those dry eyes all staring at him, examining him with a cold, all-seeing gaze, without any emotion.

Densely packed eyes shot out gazes from all directions, piercing into his heart, but when he looked carefully, he only saw dry eyes, without any gaze at all.

"Why is this happening? Where does the gaze come from?"

Mo Ling felt his scalp tingling from being stared at by those people. He quickly retracted his gaze and after a while, he looked out again.

This time, although he could still feel those thorny gazes, Mo Ling had adapted a lot.

Looking at those eyes, he suddenly thought of something familiar.

That was the pattern I saw in the synchronization channel before entering the fourth layer of the abyss.

"Crawling Eyes."

"It's that evil god, the vine evil god that plunders eyes..." Mo Ling immediately recalled.

"Because of the defect of perception, the vine as a plant began to plunder the eyes of other creatures. It created countless companion vines to invade other races and seize the perception of those races..."

Those vague records and strange patterns actually correspond to reality.

“Isn’t this a fairy tale?”

Mo Ling couldn't quite believe it and kept recalling the records of the "Sprawling Eye".

However, the more he recalled, the more he felt that the evil god recorded in the vine-growing eye pattern was extremely similar to the vine he saw.

"Countless accompanying vines, roots extending wantonly, and these densely packed eyes..."

All this proves that the dry vine that Mo Ling saw was the vine evil god mentioned in the records.

"So, the reason why the vines invaded the world in the book and caused chaos everywhere was to obtain eyes?" "Or is it that its thinking is no longer limited and has begun to acquire other perceptions?"

Mo Ling thought about it carefully and found that the vines' behavior seemed to be more than just plundering.

It seems that it is still "screening".

"War is started to select the strongest, and to cause unrest in order to make those races stronger... Could it be that it only needs the eyes of the strong, so it wants to eliminate all the weak?"

"Why is it doing this? Has its eyes reached their limit and it has to choose the best one?"

Mo Ling thought about it carefully, but couldn't figure it out.

If he is such a powerful evil god, why doesn't he choose the eyes himself? Instead, he hides timidly in the clouds and interferes with the world's progress by creating creatures?
Moreover, judging from what happened in the Gunsmoke World, the vines seemed to have other intentions.

"It's impossible to plunder eyes from metal life and gaseous life, right?"

What it did was not the same as what was recorded.

But Mo Ling also knew that he couldn't use a myth story summarized by humans as the basis for his judgment. There must be a deeper reason why these powerful creatures in the abyss did something...

Mo Ling thought of the background of the mythological story again: the theory of perceptual evolution.

"Perception determines wisdom. The more you see, the wiser you become."

Many races that were far apart and had never communicated with each other proposed this theory at the same time and drew a spreading eye pattern that could explain this theory.

Mo Ling vaguely felt that the behavior of the vines was also related to this theory.

Perhaps it has found a special way to improve its perception and thus its wisdom without plundering.

Or maybe, after the Vine Evil God's wisdom reached a certain level, he suddenly realized that he no longer agreed with the theory of perceptual evolution, but took another path.

Looking at the shriveled eyeball in the vine, Mo Ling was still full of doubts.

How did these dried remains come to be?

"Is it left behind after being defeated when invading other creatures?"

"Or did the vines realize that the theory of sensory evolution was wrong, so they abandoned the redundancy of perception?"

In the endless darkness, light debris keeps floating around, and these debris flow towards the unknown like rivers.

This wreckage is sleeping here with a huge mystery, what is it waiting for?
Just when Mo Ling's thoughts were in confusion, a faint voice suddenly came from the black shadow that was close to the block.

The sound was extremely small, like that of a mosquito or fly. If it weren't for the silence in this dark area, Mo Ling would not have noticed it at all.

Not only that, the texture of the sound also became very strange.

The shadow's original voice sounded like that of a young man, but now it sounded like a young child speaking...

"Get out of here quickly... Go back the same way, quickly..."

The voice was a little unclear and intermittent, but it was still audible that the shadow was trying his best to persuade Mo Ling to leave.

Seeing that Mo Ling was unmoved, the black shadow seemed to become very anxious.

"I can't stay here any longer..."

"Don't worry about what you see, go back quickly... This is..."

"Yuan Kong."
