I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 528: Deadly Wasteland

No matter how strange the island becomes, Li Luo has to keep going.

She came here to find out what happened in the Huasheng Islands, and then get involved and anchor herself.

"Let's head in the direction of the beacon."

This is just the outskirts of the archipelago, still a long way from the beacon.

Thinking of this, Li Luo looked at the map and walked into the depths of the wilderness with the cube.

Because there is no vegetation to block the wind, the wind here is extremely violent, blowing sand, gravel and dead wood debris everywhere.

There was no regularity to these strong winds. Sometimes they suddenly became extremely strong, and sometimes they suddenly died down, with the swept sand, gravel and debris falling from the sky with a loud noise.

When the wind rages, the sky will turn completely black, and a cold breath will spread from the clouds and cover the entire earth, but once the wind stops, the sky will become clear again and the wasteland will become quiet.

But no matter how the climate changes, there is always a dull feeling.

Li Luo walked and stopped, occasionally looking at the dark sky. Covered by clouds and mist, she couldn't see clearly what was in it.

But Mo Ling saw it very clearly.

Those are... water droplets condensing.

Every time a strong wind blows, dark clouds begin to gather in the sky and the cool air gradually sinks.

However, it seemed as if there was some force that stopped the raindrops from falling and forced the gathered dark clouds to dissipate.

"Stop letting it rain?"

Mo Ling looked at the water drops that gathered together and then disappeared again, and finally understood why this wasteland gave people a dull feeling.

The climate here seems to be always "stuck" at the moment before the rain.

Just a muffled thunder was about to cause heavy rain to fall.

But there was no next step. The raindrops were completely stopped, the dark clouds dissipated, and a new cycle began.

Because it has been stuck at this stage, the water vapor condenses, making people feel extremely dull and depressed.

“But why doesn’t it rain here?”

Could it be that the reason why this place turned from a forest into a wasteland is because there was no rain?

This strange climate caused drought. Because of the drought, the vegetation here stopped growing, and the creatures gradually died, leaving only a lifeless wasteland...

However, this is just Mo Ling's guess.

"We have to ask Li Luo. Maybe there are omissions in the information about the Huasheng Islands."

So, Mo Ling controlled the cube to stop Li Luo, wrote everything he saw on the electronic screen, and told her.

Li Luo looked at the electronic screen, then looked at the sky which was turning dark from time to time, and began to ponder.

After a while, she suddenly thought of something and began to rummage through her backpack.

Soon, she found her water cup.

Li Luo unscrewed the cup and carefully poured out a drop of water onto the ground.

The moment the water drop touched the ground, the hardened soil suddenly began to shake, and a crack appeared where the water drop landed.

Immediately afterwards, a tender green seedling emerged from the ground and began to grow vigorously.

The seedling grew visibly larger and soon became as tall as Li Luo. The ground was completely broken up, and its thick roots completely crushed the hardened soil.

Seeing that the seedling was growing taller and taller, Li Luo immediately moved away from it.

At this point, it can no longer be called a "seedling", but its rhizome is still very green and covered with soft hairs. After growing to more than one meter tall, this strange plant began to change color, from tender green to mature dark green, and the tender leaves on the top began to grow rapidly, and a small flower bud emerged from between the leaves.

Before Li Luo could react, the flower bud exploded, and a huge, gorgeous flower emerged from it, with countless pollens bursting out.

In an instant, the sky was filled with red pollen, which spread everywhere with the wind and even floated onto Li Luo's hands.

After the pollen touched the skin on the back of Li Luo's hand, she began to scratch it uncontrollably. The pollen was like a shark that smelled blood and penetrated directly into Li Luo's body.

"Oops."

Li Luo immediately realized something was wrong, she quickly tore off the purple bracelet, and Xiao Zi also rushed out immediately, turning into layers of gauze, wrapping Li Luo tightly.

However, the flower on the back of Li Luo's hand still grew uncontrollably, pushing aside the purple silk threads and poking its head out.

The bright red flowers hung on the back of Li Luo's hand like decorations.

However, the red flower did not continue to grow, but just bloomed very conspicuously, and the glaring red color looked like flowing blood.

The pollen was still floating around, but fortunately, all the pollen in the sky was blocked by Xiao Zi and could no longer come into contact with Li Luo's skin.

After releasing the pollen, the huge red flower wilted and began to slowly wither. Not long after, it became as dried as the dead trees.

Li Luo didn't expect that a drop of water could cause such a big reaction.

If she hadn't reacted in time, her whole body would be covered with that pollen and her body would be covered by these red flowers.

She could clearly feel that the flower on the back of her hand had already taken root into her blood vessels.

“Is this a parasitic plant?”

This bright red flower seemed to be growing on Li Luo's blood.

However, this flower does not seem to absorb Li Luo's nutrients endlessly.

It was even helping Li Luo to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, using its roots to purify Li Luo's blood. That's why Xiao Zi didn't strangle the red flower immediately, but instead kept it.

Li Luo looked at the flower for a while, then looked up at the sky.

“So, keeping the rain out is to prevent this flower from spreading?”

With just a drop of water, this parasitic flower can grow huge petals and produce countless pollens. It seems to be an extremely tenacious life form.

However, after it parasitizes the human body, it doesn't seem to bring any harm...

Li Luo shook her arm. Under the effect of the flower, her originally sore arm actually felt much more comfortable. Her whole arm was warm, as if she had just had a massage and felt very relaxed.

As she felt the flower, Cube came closer and bumped into Li Luo's arm.

Li Luo immediately understood what the cube meant.

Mo Ling has a way to peel off this flower. His teleportation is now very precise. As long as the field of vision can be observed, he can even achieve "microscopic peeling".

The roots of this red flower were not deeply embedded in Li Luo's blood vessels. He could peel the red flower out of Li Luo's blood vessels bit by bit without hurting Li Luo.

However, it might take a while...

"I want to keep it."

Li Luo looked at the red flowers and said thoughtfully.

"It must be related to what happened on the Huasheng Islands. I can feel it."

Li Luo raised her hand, and the flower actually slowly stood up and turned in one direction. She turned her arm, and the red flower also turned, always facing the same direction, just like a sunflower.

"It seems to be guiding me..."
