I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 778 Gravel
It seemed a little too quiet around here.

There were no more "vibrant" sounds, and it was replaced by a dull silence.

There was nothing except the subtle sound of Li Luo's footsteps on the sand.

It was as if suddenly, I stepped into the "void" of sound, and everything around me became unknown.

The darkness seemed to become deeper and deeper, as if something was constantly swaying at the edge of Mo Ling's vision, like some kind of phantom, or like some timid animal.

"When did you get stuck?"

Mo Ling was also a little confused. He thought he had been cautious enough, but he was still caught off guard.

The area changes of Eternal Night are so sudden. You are just walking in a safe area, and in the blink of an eye you step into another area, without giving people any chance to react.

He stopped Li Luo and waited quietly there. He didn't know what kind of area he had entered, so he couldn't act rashly.

"what happened?"

Li Luo's clear voice rang out in the silent eternal night.

Mo Ling did not answer, but just gently controlled the cube to shake. Li Luo instantly understood what he meant and became alert...

The surroundings became increasingly quiet. After Li Luo stopped moving forward, even the sound of footsteps died down. He could still hear nothing. The wind also stopped, and it became extremely dull.

Not only that, the shadows at the edge of Mo Ling's vision also disappeared, leaving only one person and one square on the vast sand.

Li Luo's breathing became a little rapid, as if the gradually stagnant airflow also affected her breathing.

"what?"

She seemed to suddenly sense something and reached forward to grab it.

I squeezed it in my hand and felt it, and it turned out to be - sand.

Why is there sand in front of me?
Li Luo couldn't see clearly through his night vision goggles. The sand particles were too small to be visible in this crudely made, fake product. He could only feel it with his hands.

She confirmed it several times again and it was indeed sand.

The sand seemed to come from the ground and now floated into the air.

But if there is no wind, how do the sands fly up?

Li Luo took out a mask and covered his mouth and nose to prevent the sand from entering his respiratory tract.

Of course, Mo Ling also noticed the sand, and he looked more carefully:
These sands flew up from the ground without any external force.

At first it was the smaller particles, and then the larger particles also flew up and floated into the air, flying higher and higher until they were out of Mo Ling's sight.

Li Luo took out a small knife and waved it in front of him, but didn't feel any force.

"It's not magnetism either." She muttered doubtfully, put the knife away and checked the other things in her luggage.

None of them were affected...

Everything was normal except for the sand on the ground.

After hitting the blocks, the sand would not go around and would just get stuck on the metal surface, accumulating more and more. Mo Ling could only change his position from time to time to let the accumulated sand fly into the air.

This feeling is like...

“Gravity is reversed.”

The sand is "falling" from the ground to the sky.

But why does this reverse gravity only affect the sand? Mo Ling was puzzled and could only watch the sand grains fly up into the sky one by one.

Could it be that something was collecting sand from above? But until the end of his vision, Mo Ling didn't see anything. The night sky was empty, and no one knew where the sand flew to.

I looked underground, but didn't see anything. It was all thick sand. The gravel was shaking slightly, but it was suppressed and couldn't fly upwards for the time being.

The sand on the surface was constantly disappearing, and the ground under Li Luo's feet became a relatively high platform.

The sand under her feet was trampled by her and could not fly up, while the sand in other places had been lost a lot and the ground was slowly getting lower.

But she couldn't hold out for long. The sand on the soles of her feet would gradually roll over the edge of her shoes and float upwards. The sand under Li Luo's feet would gradually turn into a "sharp pillar", making it impossible for her to stand still.

There was no choice but for Li Luo to jump into the sand pit nearby.

The ground level in this area is constantly dropping, and if it continues like this, they will continue to fall.

The sand gradually filled the surroundings. Li Luo stretched out her hand and could directly feel the sand flowing upwards through her fingers.

Mo Ling's vision had also been filled with sand, and countless grains of sand were floating into the air, as if to fill the endless night sky.

The earth is being stripped away by a strange force, and the earth is being drained away faster and faster. The gaps between the sand and the soil are opening wider and wider, and the sand and gravel seem to be escaping, scrambling to move away from the ground and fly into the night sky.

The ground continued to sink, and darkness slowly seeped downwards, eroding the original space of the earth and swallowing up all the stripped sand and gravel.

"What the hell happened?"

Mo Ling's mind was full of confusion. Even though he had turned into a dark form, he still couldn't understand the strange and unpredictable movements in the night. These changing areas still brought him unknown fear.

Gravel streaked across the night sky, an upward dust storm dragging them into unknown territory.

Li Luo and Fang Kuai stood in the center of the inverted storm, but could not feel any air flow.

Everything is normal, only the gravity of the sand is "wrong".

They flew higher and higher, into the unknown night sky, and the sand collided with each other, making a strange friction sound.

The sand did not stick to Li Luo or the surface of the block. Even the tiniest dust would not stay. They were eager to escape from the earth and were unwilling to stay for even a second longer.

Mo Ling looked at the ground and suddenly had an idea:
"Are they running away from something?"

What's under the ground?
The sinking ground made Mo Ling feel deeply frightened. He was eager to escape from here with the sand. Hiding in the cube, his heart was beating violently above his head and his blood vessels were stretching in panic. When those blood vessels extended to an "angle", Mo Ling heard some information.

"get away."

It was as if a group of tiny lives were transmitting warnings to each other.

"Run away, fly somewhere else, don't get eaten."

Eaten? Eaten by something? A creature?

Mo Ling continued to listen, and the information became clearer and clearer...

"Take our homes and run away quickly. We must leave before the bad time zone comes."

"The key is to abandon the heavier sand and rocks. The lighter the better."

"Where are we going to escape to, having already chosen the lighter dust?"

"Go to higher ground."

“How high?”

"The higher the better... The higher we go, the closer we are to time, the lower we go, the farther we are from it. The grit of time will sink spontaneously, and the lower we go, the higher the concentration becomes. We cannot be eaten by the distant past or future."
