I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 650: Eye at the Bottom of the Well
"When living beings see the lightning strike the treetops and the burning branches fall to the ground, they think of how to use fire to steal the heat of nature..."

"But what the people at the bottom of the well saw was countless electrons pouring into the dead wood cells. The violent molecular vibrations caused flames, and the terrifying vibrations climbed along the tree into the distance."

"Lightning photons flashed across their eyes. They saw the powerful current brewing in the atmosphere, the movement of clouds, the tranquility before the clouds gathered, and the steam rising..."

"Nature's judgment is clearly analyzed by the eyes. They see too much and no longer care about the branches that fall to the ground."

But this branch is the real fire.

The fire thieves from other creatures picked up branches and lit the first fire of civilization.

The man at the bottom of the well was still staring at the flash of lightning, thinking about the nature of things.

Such a civilization cannot survive for long, of course.

The people at the bottom of the well who lacked the ability to protect themselves soon became extinct in the abyss and could only be seen in books.

The more you look at the mystery, the more mysterious it becomes. The more mysterious it becomes, the more you look at it.

They perceive the world through sight, but also get lost in sight.

"I once asked them, what is the purpose of the vine? How can I leave here? They gave uncertain answers. I don't know if they can see it clearly, whether they know it or not..."

As the black shadow spoke, his words were filled with helplessness. It seemed that he was also tortured by the riddles of the people at the bottom of the well...

As they were talking, they were almost reaching their destination, and the black smoke surrounding the cube was slowly fading.

"We're here. This is another world. The vines have completely destroyed this place, and the remaining creatures have been taken to another world."

As the black smoke slowly dissipated, Mo Ling's vision gradually became clearer.

There are still rolling clouds and fog, but the clouds and fog here are more turbid and unclear. Compared with "clouds and fog", "gun smoke" can better describe the air condition here.

The air was filled with choking smoke and dust. Mo Ling smelled a strong "gasoline smell" just by teleporting a little into the cube, as if all the smoke was caused by the burning of gasoline.

Even the sunlight could not penetrate the thick layer of smoke. It was dark everywhere and the ground was charred black, as if it had experienced a devastating fire.

And beneath the charred black, it seemed that the burning was still continuing, and smoke was coming out from the cracks in the earth, slowly floating up into the sky like a long snake.

“That vine is still here.”

The black shadow regained its human form, pointed at the depths of the smoke, and said.

Mo Ling looked in that direction and saw the huge wriggling body. Just like in Tianjin Mountain, the vines were hiding in the smoke and no one knew what they were doing.

However, the wriggling vines seemed to drop some glowing objects from time to time.

Those glowing objects hit the charred earth like sparks, and then gradually dimmed and went out.

"What is it doing?" Mo Ling was even more confused.

The black shadow watched silently, and after a while, led Mo Ling towards the direction of the vine.

Just when Mo Ling thought he could see the real body of the vine after passing through the layers of smoke, the wriggling vine seemed to have discovered someone approaching, and immediately curled up at a very fast speed and hid in another cloud of smoke.

"Sure enough, we still can't get close to it. It runs too fast. Once we get close, it will hide somewhere else. If we surround it, it will directly run through the passage to another world..." The black shadow looked at the silhouette in the smoke and said helplessly. Fortunately, the sparks on the ground had not completely extinguished. The black shadow slowly landed with Mo Ling and came to the charred ground.

After getting closer, Mo Ling noticed that those glowing objects were not sparks, but moths with their bodies burning.

It seemed that the scales on the moth's wings began to burn on their own when they came into contact with the air.

However, although the flames clearly came from the moths, they were also burning their own bodies, quickly burning their fragile bodies into black powder. Not long after, the flames gradually went out.

"Can the fire generated by oneself burn oneself to death?" Mo Ling was a little surprised as he looked at the completely extinguished sparks.

The shadow followed the charred earth, looking further and further away, then looked up at the vines rolling in the smoke and clouds, and began to narrate slowly...

"This place wasn't like this originally. Back then, it was quite lively."

It’s just that it’s “vibrant” in another sense.

The first time Black Shadow came here was through a book called "The Gaseous Zone".

That is a book about special environments.

Just like the gas planets in the universe, there are also certain "gaseous" areas in the abyss. They may be composed of any gas. These gases coexist in a state of gas-liquid coexistence at a certain temperature. These gaseous environments have also produced some simple organisms after long-term evolution.

The world we live in today was once a gaseous zone.

The surface layer is thick gas. The density increases and the temperature decreases as you go down. The gas slowly transforms into a state where gas and liquid coexist. Further down, there is compressed liquid, which is generally in a very stable state.

Those simple organisms float and sink in this gaseous ocean, maintaining their lives through some basic material exchanges.

But one day, some jelly-like substances appeared in the floating gas clouds, and vines followed these jellies into this world.

Just like in the Tianjin Mountain world, the vines initially just kept expanding and growing until they occupied an entire gas cloud, and then they began to bring life to this world.

Here, it releases a special species - metal life.

The structure of these metallic life forms is very simple, that is, some metal elements are combined into aggregates, and they maintain life through the oxidation and reduction of metals.

Coincidentally, the main gas that makes up this gaseous zone is exactly the raw material for the reactions needed by these metallic life forms.

As a result, these metallic life forms quickly took root in the gaseous zone and began to multiply.

They themselves have no conflicts with the gaseous life here. The two species live in peace. There is more than enough gas in the gaseous zone, and there is no competition for resources. Both types of life are not aggressive species. They occupy their own piece of land and do not interfere with each other.

The gaseous zone therefore became more vibrant, and these simple lives made the gas exchange here more active.

At this time, the vines have not yet caused any harm to this world.

However, the good times did not last long. When the ecology of the gaseous zone became stable, the vines released new creatures.

This time, it was no longer metal creatures, but those... moths that could cause combustion.
