I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 469: A More Terrifying Activation
"What are these black spots?"

Mo Ling stretched out his hand and pressed on the blackened tree trunk. The trunk suddenly broke into pieces with a "crack", and the black fragments fell to the ground.

"So fragile?"

Mo Ling clapped his hands and threw the big tree outside.

A big tree appeared out of nowhere and fell to the ground. The trunk broke into several sections and the inside had turned completely black, looking like it had been poisoned by something.

"It's not really some kind of poison, is it?"

Mo Ling regretted touching the black tree without any protection.

However, the black spots didn't seem to affect him.

"What on earth is..."

As time went by, the big trees near the clearing became darker and darker. Mo Ling's vision sank into their trunks and found that the inside had been completely eroded by black spots.

Once eroded, they become extremely fragile. Some animated trees have already turned into fragments on the ground without even Mo Ling having to do anything.

Now, Mo Ling could finally confirm that these animated trees were hiding from something.

"Why did they come to the open space? Is there a way for them to survive in the open space?"

After thinking for a while, Mo Ling decided to place an animated tree on the open space to see what would happen.

Soon, the selected animated tree struggled to the edge of the clearing.

Its entire body was covered in black spots, its leaves had turned completely black and were falling uncontrollably, and the tips of its branches were breaking off as it moved, turning into black dust.

The animated tree struggled, moving continuously with its fragile roots, and finally walked out of the forest, exposing its body to the moonlight.

When the black branches were bathed in moonlight, a miracle happened.

The black spots on its body quickly dissipated like smoke and dust. When a gust of wind blew, the brown bark and tender green leaves appeared again, as if the black layer on its body had never existed at all.

"Moonlight, can it dispel the black spots on its body?"

Mo Ling was very sure that it was indeed the moonlight's credit.

"No wonder they all want to run to the open space."

It’s not because there is some treasure in the open space, but because only the open space can be bathed in moonlight.

Because the tree canopy in the forest was too dense and the moonlight could not penetrate at all, these activated trees desperately moved closer to the center of the clearing in order to survive.

"I see."

Mo Ling finally figured out everything, and he also had a new understanding of those black spots.

"Things that are dispelled by moonlight..."

He could probably guess what those black spots were.

That is - animate darkness.

As soon as this thought came into Mo Ling's mind, he was shocked.

"Will even darkness be animated?"

What exactly is this activated pollution on this sky island?

"It can bring life to any 'dead object'. Darkness is also dead, so can darkness also be animated?"

Mo Ling remembered what Zhou Chao had said before, about the danger the investigation team encountered when they first landed on the island - the activation light.

"Animated Light cannot enter Darkness, and Activated Darkness is dispelled by Light."

These animated entities are still limited by the characteristics that governed their inanimate state.

If they had not chosen this open space as a resting place, they would certainly have been attacked by the ubiquitous activated darkness.

The body gradually turned black, and finally turned into pitch-black powder...

While Mo Ling was thinking, he killed the animated tree that survived the disaster.

It had just escaped the erosion of the activated darkness and fell into Mo Ling's block again.

Mo Ling observed the tree that entered the cube, and the black spots on the bark had completely disappeared.

He reached out and pressed the tree trunk, and it was no longer fragile. It seemed that the moment the moonlight shone on it, the darkness on the tree disappeared. "Fortunately, I didn't stay in the forest. The darkness is everywhere. Even teleportation can't find the target, and there is no way to deal with it..."

It seems that blocks also have limitations.

Even if the space becomes larger and larger, Mo Ling cannot teleport those "invisible" things.

"Fortunately, the moonlight is always there." Mo Ling was extremely grateful.

Although clouds sometimes cover the moon, the clouds on the sky island are very thin, and the moonlight can still penetrate the clouds and fill the entire open space.

In the surrounding forests, the number of revitalized trees is slowly decreasing.

As time goes by, perhaps most of the trees will not even reach the clearing before they are swallowed up by the animated darkness.

But there are still fish that slip through the net.

"Activate the air."

Some black wind appeared around the open space.

"So darkness will attack the animated air?"

The activated air "marked" by darkness no longer had its previous concealment, and Mo Ling could easily distinguish it from normal air.

Therefore, they were killed by the block's teleportation before they could enter the open space.

"It's true that there is always someone stronger than you. The invisible air is suppressed by the even more invisible darkness."

Under Mo Ling's protection, this open space has never been invaded by animated creatures. They were even killed by teleportation before they could reach the edge.

The gentle moonlight sprinkled on Li Luo's face. She looked at Zhou Chao who had fallen asleep, then looked at Fang Kuai, revealing a relieved expression.

The moon hid quietly among the clouds, and the number of animated creatures approaching the clearing became fewer and fewer.

Under the encroachment of darkness, a silent massacre is taking place in the forest.

In the invisible darkness, countless animated creatures stopped moving and turned into invisible black dust, which drifted away with the wind.

It seemed that there were not many animated creatures approaching the open space, but Mo Ling was not completely reassured.

"Will the moonlight also be animated?"

"Where are these huge rocks?"

"Where's the grass on the ground?"

"Could the clouds in the sky have been activated?"

"..."

These questions kept appearing in Mo Ling's mind, and he felt that there were all kinds of dangers around him.

Activated pollution not only attacks the body, but also slowly erodes the mind.

Everything has become a hostile beast, and all defenses are no longer effective...

This forest, this sky island, and even the entire abyss, all came alive.

Mo Ling finally understood why the investigation team left Zhou Chao behind to monitor this empty island.

“This is real pollution, pollution against the world.”

If this kind of pollution really spreads one day, it is really possible that something like an "activated abyss" will appear.

Mo Ling didn't dare to imagine the terrible consequences.

"We must find a beacon and send out a message about the worsening pollution..."

Mo Ling's vision extended towards the center of the forest and finally stopped at the end. His vision was still limited and he could not see what was happening deeper.

The darkness there seemed deeper, the animation more chaotic.

The situation in the central area of ​​Sky Island may be worse than Zhou Chao imagined.

"Will there be more terrifying things happening in there?"
