I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 660 Vines and Shadows

The shadow followed the vine all the time, and along with it, it saw the vast world.

It follows the vines wherever they go, whether in the high mountains or in the sea of ​​clouds or in the deep chasms, and its shadow becomes more and more solid.

It can now freely drill out of the ground and turn into a vine.

During the journey, the vines also got used to the presence of shadows.

The vine had no companion to communicate with, so it kept muttering to the shadow all day long, and the shadow listened carefully, although it didn't understand what it meant.

At the same time, as time went by, the vine grew bigger and bigger. When its body reached some places, it would even completely cover the entire sky. In order to prevent chaos, the vine could only hide its body and continue to explore the world with its accompanying tendrils.

Fortunately, it has become more and more proficient in the use of synchronization rate jelly, its travel has become more and more stable, and its speed has become faster and faster.

But one day, when the vine was about to continue through the jelly to another world, it was stopped by the shadow.

To be precise, it was not blocked but blocked. The shadow wanted to pass through the same passage at the same time as it.

Two vines of different colors stopped in mid-air...

The vine retracted its tendrils, and the black tendrils also retracted. It slowly stretched out, and the black tendrils also stretched out.

After going back and forth several times, Vine also understood Shadow's thoughts.

"Do you want to go on a trip too?"

The shadow didn't answer, but just froze in mid-air for a long time.

"Do you want to travel with us too?" Shadow suddenly said the same thing to Vine.

"Are you learning this from me?"

Although the shadow was still imitating the vine, the vine was very happy because this was the first time a shadow "responded" to it.

In the past, shadows were particularly dull, and were always slow in imitating, and did not respond to its inquiries at all.

Now, for the first time, it felt that this shadow was a "living thing".

The way young organisms understand the world is by imitation, imitating the behavior of adult organisms, imitating the language they hear, and imitating the actions that interact with them.

The shadow imitates language, which means that it has realized that this is a "way of communication", but it does not know what this language means and can only imitate it clumsily.

The more you imitate, the more you will gradually understand the meaning of this language.

"This is a good start." Vine was very pleased.

Not only that, Vine also discovered that the color of the shadow had changed.

It seems, not so dark anymore...

……

"You replaced your master, didn't you?" The shadow's voice suddenly came: "You killed it? No... How could Congying kill his master? Did you use some other method to kill it?"

The shadow's question received no response. The voice seemed unwilling to continue to tangle with the shadow, but the shadow was still aggressive and continued to ask:

"Isn't Cong Ying unaware that he is a shadow? Why do you know it so clearly?"

"How did you awaken?"

"Is it dead or not? Did you do it?"

The shadow's voice fell into the deep darkness.

The smoke continued to wrap around the wriggling black tendrils, but the tendrils seemed to be very slippery and they slipped away with a slight twist.

"Stop hiding!"

"Watch out! The third move - stealing the day!"

As the shadow shouted, all the black smoke solidified instantly, and then suddenly exploded. The colorful light from the outside world suddenly pierced through the darkness and filled every gap in the shadow...

……

"You have color now, and you don't seem so dark anymore..." the vine said to the shadow.

"It's not so dark anymore..." Shadow muttered blankly, as if he understood what the vines meant.

"Do you want to travel with me? I've been traveling by myself for so long, and even though everyone's eyes are following me, I still feel lonely." Ivy was a little embarrassed. "Lonely?" Shadow said stupidly.

"Yes, loneliness. They just watch me from a distance on the synchronized track and can't talk to me."

"say."

"Yes, speak, just like we are doing now..."

The vine gently tapped the dark tendrils.

"If you want to travel with me, don't go through the same passage with me. Wait until I pass, then catch up, slowly."

"slower?"

"Yes, slower."

The vine didn't know whether the shadow understood what it meant, so it swung its tendrils and reached towards the jelly.

The shadow imitated hurriedly at first, but seemed to understand the vine's meaning in an instant. It slowed down its movements and followed the vine. The two of them passed through the jelly one after the other, in a very tacit understanding.

"You know what I mean."

"understood."

"If you want to follow later, just do it like now, understand?"

"understood."

Seeing that the shadow's answers were becoming more and more fluent, the vine was very happy. It finally had a companion with whom it could communicate.

However, it was still very curious about the origin of the shadow.

"What kind of creature are you?"

"Creature?" Shadow didn't understand what the vines meant at all.

Seeing Shadow's confused look, Vine gave up asking any more questions.

"Since you don't know, I'll ask for you. Anyway, the journey is still going on..."

"Ask."

"Yes, let me ask...what's your name?"

"Ask."

"Okay, I'll ask you..."

From then on, Vine had a companion on his journey, and it also had a new purpose: to find out the origin of "Wenwen".

However, after traveling for a long time, Vine did not find any information about Wenwen.

Until the vines encountered a race calling themselves "The Eternal Thirst"...

"Hand over all your knowledge." After meeting, the Everthirsty directly told the vines his request.

"Okay." The vine agreed happily. He didn't think it was a very offensive thing. Knowledge was meant to be shared with each other and there was no such thing as "exclusivity". Since the Eternally Thirsty needed it, just give it to them.

"In exchange, you can ask us any questions." The Everthirsty had never encountered such a "generous" robbery target, so he offered the vines a very good condition.

"I want to know where it came from." The vine pointed at Wenwen with its tendrils.

"make a deal."

……

After extracting the vines' knowledge, the Everthirsty handed over Wenwen's racial information to the vines.

"From the shadows? What a strange race."

"If you have more knowledge in the future, you can continue to come to us. Our library will always be open to you, and we will keep the knowledge about you confidential..." After making a promise to the vines, the Eternal Thirst left.

"What a friendly race." Vine sighed, "If only other races were like the Eternal Thirst, the world would be very peaceful..."
