I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 421 The God on the Other Side of the Mirror

The young man still couldn't let go and kept fiddling with it, poking it here and there with a branch. He then walked to the window and looked at the scene outside curiously.

Compared to the young man, the marine creatures were very quiet, except that they kept making strange noises.

At this moment, Mo Ling could no longer suppress the shock in his heart.

"Why does the mirage appear here?"

Mo Ling forced himself to calm down and began to think.

"That capable young man outside must be Shen Ping, the discoverer of mirage."

"And these strange humanoid marine creatures are the 'immortals' mentioned in the records."

Mo Ling never thought that he would witness the recorded scene here with his own eyes.

“Is this some kind of image, or is it something that really happens on the mirror?”

Mo Ling discovered that the angle of the mirror seemed a bit strange.

"I seem to be in the air, looking down..."

At this moment, Mo Ling's angle seemed to be right in the center of the mirage, some distance from the ground.

This confused feeling of fear made Mo Ling's thoughts a little confused.

Just when Mo Ling was full of doubts, a sound similar to that of a guqin gradually rang out in the pavilion, hoarse and low.

Then, all the immortals looked towards the center of the mirage.

In an instant, countless eyes were directed towards Mo Ling.

Those immortals seemed to have suddenly discovered Mo Ling, and their eyes passed through the glass and pierced Mo Ling.

After being looked at like this, Mo Ling was so scared that he quickly stepped back a distance.

"It seems like he's not looking at me."

After realizing this, he slowly flew back to the glass.

Just then, Mo Ling discovered that the glass had also changed.

The glass, which was originally a little blurry, suddenly surged with a stream of water, as if it was cleaning the mirror. After a while, the stream of water instantly spread out and turned into a -

Giant blue olives.

The olive was tightly attached to the mirror surface. Through it, Mo Ling could look around the mirage like a fish-eye lens, giving him a wider field of vision.

"So this olive is a convex lens?"

The cleaned mirror surface became very clear, and Mo Ling could even see the tiny scales on the bodies of the immortals.

"But what is this for?"

Mo Ling was still confused when suddenly an immortal walked towards Olive.

It was a lobster-headed fairy. It came respectfully to the bottom of the olive, then raised its hands, crossed its index fingers and thumbs together, and formed a neat oval.

Mo Ling was stunned.

“Is this a wish for me?”

Sure enough, the lobster-headed immortal's wish began to emerge on the olive...

……

The abyss is becoming more and more chaotic. There are always some races that don't know the rules.

The lobster tribe has been suffering recently.

There is a creature that looks like a straw. It always hunts near the coral reefs where it lives. Wherever this creature goes, it leaves a mess and makes the beautiful coral reefs a mess.

Xia Bu Luo is the current leader of the lobster tribe. The tribe members have requested him many times to expel those straw-sucking creatures. The old shrimps in the tribe also urged him to solve the problem as soon as possible, which troubled him very much.

But Shrimp Bulu also has its own troubles. The lobster tribe is now in decline, and there are not many shrimps left in the tribe. Very few can fight, and most of them are old, weak and sick.

"It's not that easy to fight and survive at the same time."

The coral reefs were being destroyed every day, but the expulsion team had not been formed yet. The shrimps were so worried that they couldn't even eat their favorite seaweed.

"If no one helps me, I'll go by myself!"

Xia Bu Luo is the only warrior in the tribe who has traveled and is also very powerful. He decides to find out the strength of the straw creatures himself.

Thinking of this, he made a prompt decision, picked up his weapon, and swam towards the outer edge of the coral reef. Xia Bu Luo was lucky, as soon as he arrived at the outer edge of the coral reef, he saw those straw-sucking creatures that were wantonly destroying the coral reef.

Seeing the coral reefs on which he depended for survival being shattered by those creatures, he became furious.

"What are you doing!"

He picked up his weapon and attacked directly.

However, what he didn't expect was that the straw creatures gathered together and trembled.

Seeing this scene, Xia Bu Luo slowly calmed down.

"Can you understand me?" He suddenly realized that these straw creatures seemed to be able to communicate.

"Yes..." a straw creature replied weakly.

"How do you know the language of our lobster tribe?" Xia Bu Luo asked suspiciously.

Could it be that these straw-sucking creatures had been planning for a long time to attack the lobster tribe?

"I learned that from you," the straw creature said tremblingly.

"Nonsense! When did I teach you?" Xia Bu Luo cursed angrily.

The straw creature was frightened by the angry shrimp and huddled together, and hurriedly explained: "I just learned it! I just learned it! I learned it by absorbing your voice."

"What do you mean?"

"I use a straw to suck your voice in, and then I can do it." The straw creature explained to Xia Bu Luo.

Just like that, under Xia Bu Luo's questioning, the straw creature revealed all the abilities of its race:

Their straws can absorb all knowledge, and as long as one of them absorbs it, the whole group can learn it.

“We feed on knowledge, and language is a form of knowledge.”

"Then why did you destroy the coral reefs?" Xia Bu Luo asked.

"We are learning about coral reefs. Even the most lowly organisms have knowledge. We can learn how to make calcium, how to change color, and more..."

The siphonophores relayed everything they had learned from the corals.

Xia Bu Luo listened to the explanation of the straw creature with half belief and half doubt.

"We are almost starving to death and have nowhere else to go, so we came here," the straw creature explained pitifully.

"Not here! Go somewhere else. You'll destroy the coral reefs and affect our survival! Do you hear me?"

Xia Bu Luo cursed angrily and drove the straw creature out.

He did not kill them, leaving these straw creatures alive.

However, his kindness brought disaster upon himself...

After returning from a hunting trip, he saw the completely destroyed coral reefs.

The entire home has been completely destroyed, the shells of companions are scattered everywhere, and the broken shrimp limbs are hanging lifelessly on the rocks.

"why?"

Xia Bu Luo rushed back to the group like crazy, only to find an old shrimp with broken limbs all over its body, dying.

"Those are the Eternally Thirsty...they won't stop." Old Shrimp said weakly.

"The desire for knowledge is an insatiable desire. They will pursue higher wisdom and use the knowledge they devour to destroy more advanced civilizations. Then they will continue to devour and destroy, and the cycle will continue..."

"How can a straw be satisfied? It goes in one end and out the other, never stopping. How can knowledge have an end? The knowledge in this world is endless, and their desires are endless too."

"This is an eternal desire, an eternal desire..."

Lao Xia's consciousness had become completely blurred, and he just kept talking to Xia Bu Luo about things related to the "Eternal Thirst".

As he listened, Xia Bu Luo's pincers clenched tighter and tighter.

He never imagined that the "weakness" of those straw creatures was also pretended.

"They were coming for us in the beginning, but I let them go..." Xia Bu Luo fell into endless self-blame.

At the same time, a ball of burning rage rose in Xia Bu Luo's heart.

"Eternal thirst? One day, I will put an end to their thirst!"
