I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 500 Painted Skin
The "captain"'s behavior is clearly an attempt to cover up his own mistakes.

Those red eyes and suppressed anxiety could not deceive anyone, and even though he had turned his head, his rapid breathing was still very obvious.

The "captain" with his back slightly hunched was like some kind of bloodthirsty beast. Rough breathing came from him, and the breath seemed to be stuck in his throat, making a "ho ho" sound.

"Captain, are you okay?" Zhou Chao was about to add fuel to the fire.

The trembling body turned around again, his shoulders rose and fell slightly, his mouth could no longer be closed, and sticky saliva overflowed from the corners of his mouth.

The "captain" realized his gaffe and quickly wiped his saliva with the back of his trembling hand, then pressed it hard on his chin.

With a "click" sound, the panting mouth finally closed again.

He said nothing, but just kept his mouth shut and shook his head at Zhou Chao.

A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead. He seemed to be trying hard to suppress something, but this inhuman performance had completely exposed him.

He turned his head anxiously again, with red spots of light emanating from his body.

Under the starlight, his body trembled slightly, and the escaping light spots were like burning flames.

"Captain, are you okay? Do you want to rest for a while?" Zhou Chao continued to stimulate.

Hearing Zhou Chao's words, the "captain's" trembling body stopped instantly.

Then, his head turned 180 degrees.

"No! Rest!"

"Set off!"

His red eyes glared at Zhou Chao, his pale lips tightly closed, and a beast-like roar came out of his throat, but one could still vaguely hear the warning in his words.

The head, which had rotated 180 degrees, turned again, went around half a circle, and turned back.

He seemed unwilling to wait for the two of them any longer, and rushed forward, squeezing into the group of beast-like figures.

Under the starlight, they were no longer in human form, their movements were distorted, their legs took huge steps, their arms swung like windmills, some of them had their heads drooped, some looked up at the sky, like puppets being dragged.

They had completely abandoned the human way of movement and had forgotten that Li Luo and Zhou Chao were following them.

Perhaps their original mission was to deceive the two people, but after Zhou Chao and Li Luo's deliberate procrastination, they lost their patience and ignored them.

They advanced in this inhuman manner, getting further and further away from the two.

"Let's follow."

As long as we follow this fake investigation team, we will definitely find the culprit.

Thinking of this, both of them quickened their pace and caught up with those distorted figures.

The starlight became brighter and brighter, making the two of them feel dizzy.

At this moment, the film covering the two people's eyes reappeared, suddenly became a little thicker, and then disappeared again, and the dizziness of the two people was relieved a lot.

When the dizziness gradually subsided, Li Luo and Zhou Chao realized that they had unknowingly arrived in a starry sky.

The earth is a rotating nebula, the ancient trees are extended cantilevers, the leaves are twinkling stars, and countless galaxies are mixed in it. The blue or deep red light bands are connected to each other, and the stars flow freely in it.

"Are we still on the Sky Island?" Zhou Chao asked blankly.

He squatted down and grabbed a handful of nebula, and countless stardust flowed through his fingers.

“This is dirt.”

Zhou Chao clapped his hands and patted the stardust in his hand.

This is still a forest of stars, but the starlight is so violent that it has covered everything with a veil of stars.

The group of twisted figures just now had stopped moving. They gathered in front of a tall star cluster cantilever, staring blankly at the flashing glare on the cantilever. "What is that?" Zhou Chao walked forward curiously, squeezed through the group of stunned figures, and placed his hand on the cantilever.

The moment he touched the cantilever, he froze.

"Beacon? Did they really bring us to Beacon?"

Zhou Chao couldn't quite believe it. Under the cantilevered veil was indeed the beacon he had been longing for.

However, the beacon shrouded in starlight seemed unable to be operated.

Zhou Chao fumbled around the beacon for a while before finding the operating console, but he couldn't see the operating interface and could only scratch his head helplessly.

“Is this a beacon?”

Li Luo also came over and placed his hand on the cantilever.

The first thing you notice is the metallic texture. There seem to be many buttons on the operating table, but under the blinding of the starlight, you can't tell what the buttons do.

"A beacon is a signal tower?"

"Yes, it is made of a special alloy. It is said that it is an alloy made from a certain relic. Although it is simple, it is durable and can still be effective after hundreds of years."

Zhou Chao stretched out his hand and waved it in front of those fake team members, but they didn't react at all.

So Zhou Chao pinched their wrists again and put his fingers in front of their noses.

"It's a human body, with a pulse and breathing... but how can they get into such a twisted posture?" Zhou Chao was very confused.

These people froze in place, as if they had completed their mission after bringing the two men to the beacon.

"Do you have a knife? Lend it to me."

Zhou Chao took a small knife from Li Luo, and with a hard heart, he cut the fingertip of a team member. Bright red blood flowed out, but the team member still did not react.

After a while, the blood stopped flowing and the wound began to heal visibly, returning to its original state in the blink of an eye.

"Such a strong healing ability..." Zhou Chao was a little surprised.

He pulled open the team member's sleeve and cut his arm hard. Blood gushed out instantly, but the team member still stared blankly at the sky, as if he didn't feel any pain at all.

But soon, the wound on the arm healed again, and the team member's pale face became rosy again.

Seeing this, Zhou Chao gave up the experiment. He planned to return the knife to Li Luo, but found that the knife in his hand had disappeared.

"I forgot the price of the holy sword..." Zhou Chao said embarrassedly.

"It's ok."

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Chao came behind the team member who was carrying the fissure bomb, opened the team member's backpack directly, took out the red ball, and looked at it for a while.

"It really is a rift bomb. Where did they get it from?"

Zhou Chao was puzzled. If the investigation team were all fake, then where did they get these fissure bombs that only humans have?

Holding the fissure bomb, Zhou Chao suddenly thought of something. He walked to the teammate known as "Iron Brother" and began to search his pockets.

Soon, Zhou Chao froze, then tremblingly took out a box of supplements from his pocket.

"how come?"

He looked at the box of supplements in disbelief. This was indeed the kind that Tie Ge often took.

Now, his thoughts became confused again.
