I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 728 Yellow Death Vein

Faced with Mo Ling's various wonderful guesses, the grass did not respond at all. It just stayed in Mo Ling's hand, glowing silently.

The green light flickered, illuminating the dim cave completely in green.

It was quiet all around, with only the sound of Mo Ling talking to himself.

After asking for a while, Mo Ling realized that his behavior was a bit redundant. He scratched his head and stopped asking.

"What am I doing...just keep going."

Mo Ling came here to find the reason for the failure of the Green Kidney, but at present, he didn't even know what these caves were. He had neither seen the groups of Yellow Death Veins nor figured out what the Green Kidney represented.

Nothing was found except those yellow worm eggs.

Moreover, he knew very little about those yellow worm eggs. The only thing he knew clearly was:

"They seem to want to parasitize on objects and escape from this cave..."

This is very different from Mo Ling's understanding of the Yellow Death Vein.

During the previous battle, the Yellow Death Vein that Mo Ling saw was crazy and powerful. Although it was at a disadvantage in the battle, the terrifying momentum during the invasion could not be concealed.

But the yellow worm eggs we see now look more like some "refugees" fleeing in panic.

"What are you avoiding?"

As Mo Ling pondered, he stared into the depths of the cave, wondering where this winding cave led to...

After a while, Mo Ling came to a fork in the road again.

This time, he planned to find the correct path by listening to the sound. However, when he got close to a road, he heard a sound that surprised him very much.

"river?"

Mo Ling seemed to hear a faint sound of flowing water.

"Is it an underground river? Or something else?"

Mo Ling listened carefully, but the sound was too faint and he couldn't hear clearly what it was. He had to put it aside for the time being and ran to another fork in the road to listen for a while.

Except for the road with the sound of flowing water, there was nothing strange about the other forks, so Mo Ling immediately made up his mind and headed towards that special road.

The faint sound of flowing water could be heard from the depths of the cave from time to time. As soon as he walked into this fork in the cave, Mo Ling noticed the difference in his surroundings.

There seemed to be a faint gleam of water light in the gelatinous cave wall. The cave wall here was more crystal clear than the ones I had seen before. It was very transparent and not as turbid as before.

Mo Ling went to the wall of the cave and took a look. There were still those strange lines that spread like blood vessels, but around these lines, there were something else. It was a sticky yellow-green liquid that was flowing from top to bottom under the action of gravity.

The cave wall was like a layer of glass, sealing the liquids inside. There was an independent flow space behind the glass. The yellow-green water continued to seep downwards inside, and no one knew where it would flow to.

Mo Ling listened carefully and found that the sound of flowing water did not seem to come from the cave wall, but from a deeper place. So he did not continue to worry about the changes in the cave wall and walked straight towards the depths.

The sound of flowing water became more and more obvious, and it really sounded like an underground river or something like that, but Mo Ling knew that it definitely couldn't be an underground river.

This is not a normal cave, so how could there be a normal river?
With doubts, Mo Ling quickened his pace, bypassing the winding cave, and after passing through several narrow cracks, he finally saw the way.

"Crash..."

The sound of water suddenly became louder.

After passing through the last crack in the cave wall, Mo Ling unexpectedly came to a shallow beach. This seemed to be the main vein of the underground river. The cave wall was very wide, and the river flowed through the center, with yellow-green shallow beaches on both sides.

After arriving at the shallows, Mo Ling saw the river flowing in the middle at a glance.

It was indeed a river, but it was dark yellow and extremely turbid, like mud mixed with a lot of debris, and looked dirty.

Not only that, the debris in the river water also seems a little abnormal...

"What it is?"

Mo Ling walked forward curiously and finally saw clearly what the debris mixed in the muddy river was...

"It's a corpse!"

They were completely swollen corpses, mixed in the mud, rolling around, and it was hard to tell what they looked like. Some were incomplete, some were intact, and their surfaces were covered in dark yellow mud. They sometimes floated up and sometimes sank as the mud river flowed...

The mud river flows slowly in the dim yellow-green fluorescence, seeming to carry an unspeakable silence.

The corpses on the river surface were floating quietly, like forgotten boats, in various postures... These seemed to be the postures they were in before death, still with a desire for life, but at this moment only endless sorrow was left.

The dim light was scattered over the muddy river, without bringing a trace of warmth. A chill blew towards Mo Ling along the cool breeze from the river. He did not smell any stench of corpse, but did smell a faint smell of dust.

"Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth, the soul sinks, the netherworld flows..."

There seem to be countless souls beneath the Yellow Springs.

What you see on the river surface is only a part of it. There is much more that is covered by the turbid mud and cannot be seen by the light of day.

"This river... could it really be the underworld?"

What does the Yellow Death Vein mean? Are they the bugs? Or the yellow blood? Or the yellow river in front of us?
Mo Ling was a little confused for a moment. He walked to the river in a daze, looking at the flowing Yellow Spring. A sense of deathly silence flowed along the river bank to his ankles.

Mo Ling finally saw clearly that the river water was also made up of yellow worms...

It is a worm, a river, and blood.

There has never been any difference. This is their form of existence. Different attributes appear on the same thing at the same time, completely blended together, without distinction between you and me, and extremely harmonious.

The insect eggs in the river attached to the corpses, floated to the shore, and turned into "legs" that were striving for survival. They carried the resentment of the living and drove the dead to flee to the place where they once lived.

"Go home...go home..."

Mo Ling heard the dead calls one after another. Those corpses carried too many obsessions, which was why they were attached to the yellow worms.

The underworld can wash away the souls of the dead, but it cannot wash away those deep obsessions.

The deathly silence crept up along his ankles, slowly making Mo Ling's whole body cold and stiff. He was in a trance, as if he saw the corpses in the river come alive.

They shed the mud and opened their eyes. This corpse was once a living being that existed in this world with him.

There is confusion, yearning, and loved ones in their eyes, but all of this seems to have been washed away by the underworld.

Unwilling, they are unwilling...

Mo Ling finally understood what those legs were running away from...

"They are escaping from death."
