I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 687 Under the Abyss
In that loneliness, Li Luo slowly opened his eyes.

The previously intersecting tracks completely disappeared, and there was only endless darkness before my eyes.

"Is this already below the Abyss?"

There is no sunlight, only the diamond ring on the chest is still emitting colorful light.

But in this pitch-black environment, this weak light is of no use.

Li Luo rubbed his head and sat up from the ground.

The ground here seemed to be covered with fine sand. Li Luo's action of supporting herself on the floor caused her palms to be covered with sand. She clapped her hands again to get rid of all the sand.

With the help of the faint light, Li Luo opened his backpack and took out the lighting he had prepared long ago.

The first thing she did was to look around. There was flat sand all around and everything seemed normal.

However, she immediately realized something was wrong.

"Where is the iron?"

I looked around and saw that the block was indeed gone.

Li Luo immediately stood up anxiously and looked around with the lighting equipment, but he couldn't find the block. The shining lamp pole swayed across the dark sand and then shone into the sky.

Empty, the block is indeed gone...

Not only that, after she shone the light, the surrounding sand suddenly began to shake, as if something was swimming underground.

Just as Li Luo was looking at the ground curiously, a voice suddenly came from behind him:

"Turn off the lights!"

It was a very pleasant female voice, sounding like a mature lady.

"It's a human..." Hearing the familiar language, Li Luo immediately realized that the person standing behind her was a human, so she immediately turned off the lighting in her hand and held her breath.

After the light disappeared, the vibrations underground suddenly slowed down.

In the darkness, Li Luo heard the person behind her slowly approaching her.

Then, he almost hit her back.

"I'm sorry, I can't see it."

The sound of rapid breathing reached Li Luo's ears, and the exhaled breath even blew on Li Luo's neck.

In this darkness where nothing can be seen, other senses become unusually sharp.

Li Luo turned around and was about to speak when he heard the man ask in a low voice:

"You just arrived at the fifth floor, right?"

Hearing the question, Li Luo nodded, then realized that the other party might not see it, and quickly replied: "Yes."

“No wonder.” The man breathed a sigh of relief: “Don’t create light here casually, it will attract other creatures.”

"What creature?" Li Luo asked.

"There are many species. The one just now in the sand is one of them. They are all phototropic and will specifically seek out places with light to attack."

Is this actually the case? Li Luo was a little surprised.

In this lightless environment, how come living things didn't abandon vision?

Generally speaking, if creatures stay in a lightless environment for a long time, their vision will degenerate. Conversely, their hearing or other senses will become sensitive, and they will hunt based on their hearing.

But the creatures here are actually phototropic...

"Without sunlight, won't their vision deteriorate?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Although there is no sunlight here, there is other light, and on the fifth floor, the places covered by the light are all Feng Shui treasures, so they will not give up their vision."

"I see……"

Li Luo realized that he knew very little about the fifth level, and it seemed that he needed to find a place to supplement his database.

Besides, now that the cube was missing, she had to be even more careful.

In this way, the two of them stayed there for a long time, at a very close distance.

Li Luo could still feel the other person's breathing, which was very rapid and seemed very nervous, so Li Luo did not act rashly and just waited.

Only when the vibration under the sand completely disappeared did Li Luo hear the other party breathe a sigh of relief.

"Do you have night vision goggles?" the man suddenly asked. "No."

"It doesn't matter if you don't have it with you. This place is very close to Hongguang City. I'll take you there." As he spoke, the man took Li Luo's hand.

It was a very soft hand. Before Li Luo could react, the person grabbed her hand and pulled her forward.

"where u from?"

"Pipeline Fortress." Li Luo replied calmly.

However, what was unexpected was that when Li Luo said the words "Pipeline Fortress", the hand holding her froze.

"Pipeline Fortress?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Li Luo noticed that this person was different and asked.

"No, it's just that the official anchors of the Pipeline Fortress won't bring people to Rainbow City, so I was a little surprised... I remember that the anchors of the Pipeline Fortress would send people to Dream City, which is the largest stronghold built by humans on the fifth floor. Why did you choose to come to Rainbow City?"

"Because I want to resolve my obsession." Li Luo replied.

"Obsession? You are not that old, how can you have obsession?"

“It’s someone else’s obsession.”

"All right……"

After the man understood Li Luo's purpose, he did not ask any more questions.

After walking for a while, the man suddenly squeezed Li Luo's hand.

“See the blue light ahead?”

Li Luo hurriedly looked forward. In the endless dark land, there seemed to be a city with blue light, but the light seemed to be looming. After staring for a while, the light suddenly disappeared.

"Disappeared?" Li Luo asked puzzledly.

"That is Rainbow Light City. In order to prevent the light from escaping, humans have built polarized light protection at the edge of the city. The light in the city will only flash at certain times. The rest of the time, it will be completely dark."

"Why not block out the light from the city completely?" Li Luo was a little puzzled.

"It completely blocks the light. How can people outside find Rainbow Light City?"

"Too……"

Li Luo immediately understood the purpose of the polarized protection.

While he was thinking, the man suddenly squeezed Li Luo's hand.

"When you enter Hongguang City, remember not to say that you are here to resolve my obsession..."

"why?"

"Because..." The man suddenly interrupted him halfway through his words and was silent for a moment: "Anyway, just remember not to tell anyone else, so as to avoid being targeted by certain people. There are not only humans there, there are other races, and those races are also eyeing humans covetously."

After listening to this man's persuasion, Li Luo realized that Hongguang City was not as safe as he had imagined.

The solution to her obsession might be unexpectedly complicated, or even put her in danger.

A city built in darkness shouldn't be so harmonious...

Li Luo secretly planned in his mind that he would observe carefully after entering the city and then decide what to do next.

Moreover, she now has to find the Cube first. Since the Cube came with her, it must be somewhere else in Hongguang City.

If you cannot resolve the obsession on the pain-reducing tablet after entering Hongguang City, then find another way...

Just like that, the two of them walked further and further away on the silent sand without saying anything else.

Fine sand was constantly thrown behind. In the darkness, Li Luo could hear the man's even breathing and feel his pulse on her hand.

Li Luo suddenly became curious. Who was this lady who saved him?
"My name is Li Luo, and I'm from Dawn City."

"Hmm? What a coincidence." The lady's voice was still very pleasant: "I am also from Dawn City. Do you know the Dawn City Welfare Home? I used to be a teacher there. Later, the welfare home was demolished, and I became a hunter..."

"Lan Xin."

"My name is Lanxin, Lan means orchid, and heart means heart...

"Nice to meet you, little girl..."
