I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 652: Jelly Inside and Outside
"what are you up to?"

The dark shadow stopped in front of Mo Ling and asked anxiously.

"I'm going to go through the crack..."

Mo Ling wrote down his thoughts on the electronic screen and sent them to the black shadow.

After learning of Mo Ling's purpose, the black shadow looked very hesitant.

"These passages not only lead to rifts, but also to worlds in other books. Some worlds have very dangerous environments, and some worlds have built-in locking mechanisms. Once you enter, it is difficult to escape."

"The synchronization rate in the rift is different, and even time and space will be different. Even if you are not hurt, you may only spend an hour inside, but a hundred years may pass outside. Can you afford such a price?"

"How do you know this isn't a trap set by those vines?"

"besides……"

The black shadow stopped Mo Ling and listed many possibilities.

"It would be too reckless for you to just go in like that," it advised.

Mo Ling also understood its concerns. Whether these passages led to other worlds in the book or dangerous rifts, it was unknown to him.

However, this doesn't mean you shouldn't try.

The black shadow has been here for so long and has not found a way to leave. If I hesitate, I will be trapped here like it.

Mo Ling floated in the air for a while and then transmitted the electronic screen out again.

"How will you know if you don't try?"

Looking at the brief sentence on the electronic screen, the black shadow was stunned. Mo Ling did not hesitate. After retracting the electronic screen, he directly bypassed the black shadow and flew towards the jelly.

The soft jelly was floating in the air, with some strange impurities inside. After arriving in front of the jelly, Mo Ling slowed down the speed of the cube and slowly approached the jelly.

The black shadow stood behind and hesitated for a long time. Finally, he gritted his teeth, turned into a ball of black smoke, and stuck close to Mo Ling.

"me and you togather!"

"How reckless! Are you really some kind of machine made by the fortress? Even if it is damaged, you don't care..."

"Really? Why should I worry about one machine? If one breaks, there's another one. Why should I bother?"

The black shadow kept complaining, but kept sticking closer and closer, until it turned into a black film that stuck to the block.

It's square, just like the shadow of a cube...

"Go in, and run fast if you see anything wrong." The black shadow stuck close to the block and said cautiously.

Mo Ling did not hesitate and controlled the block to slowly touch the soft and smooth jelly.

I thought it would feel soft and elastic when I touched it, but when the cube actually touched the jelly, it sank into it as if it had encountered liquid. The gelatinous jelly squirmed to form a crack and slowly swallowed the cube.

After a while, the cube entered the jelly.

There is no resistance, it's like being in the air, and the movement is very free.

At the same time, through the transparent jelly, Mo Ling saw that the external environment had undergone earth-shaking changes... In the world filled with smoke, smoke and dust were falling at an imperceptible speed. Through this layer of jelly, he could actually see the trajectory of the falling smoke and dust. Gray-black vertical lines were like solidified raindrops, connecting the sky and the earth.

The arc of the airflow trajectory is also "marked".

At this time, you can still see traces of the fire that once swept the world.

The vortex created by the burning has not subsided yet, and the gray-black vortex streamlines are floating in the air. The heat left by the fire is still driving the airflow in the gaseous zone.

And on the charred ground, there were actually traces of biological activities.

Those were the traces left by the survivors. Some pitch-black metal creatures were crawling with difficulty, dragging their broken bodies, searching for remaining reaction gas on the ground.

Although the burning was intense, the gases could not be completely burned. Now that the flames had dissipated, the gases were mixed in with the smoke and had not completely disappeared.

As Mo Ling watched, he was actually lost in thought. He had never expected that the world would be like this when he looked out from the jelly. Moreover, his limited vision seemed to be extended by a telescope, constantly exploring into the distance.

Not only that, he was also surprised to find that new life was brewing in the smoke-filled atmosphere.

The "seeds" left behind by gaseous life are adapting to the smoke of gunpowder. These lives are being reborn in a more complex posture, but life has not yet appeared and a process is needed. However, the slowly surging trajectory of the seeds is also revealed by this "jelly filter".

“Why am I seeing these tracks?”

Mo Ling found that he seemed to have become an omniscient person. Through the jelly filter, he could see everything that was happening. There were no limitations, infinitely far and infinitely detailed. Anything he wanted to know would appear on the jelly.

“Are those lives reviving?”

Mo Ling saw those weak lives that were barely surviving, and saw the sparks that were randomly scattered from the sky by the vines, leaving vertical lines of red light in the smoke...

And when these trajectories came into contact, they actually began to entangle.

The lingering metallic life obtained the seeds of new gaseous life and incorporated them into itself. This new gaseous life could take their reaction efficiency to a higher level. The active gaseous life could also actively absorb and screen gases, reducing the interference of useless gases on the reaction.

Gradually, those simple metal life forms actually developed a symbiotic relationship with the seeds of new gaseous life forms. The gaseous life forms permeated the cracks in the metal bodies, filling their "defects".

The abundance of energy made thinking more and more efficient, and the ignorant self-consciousness of the two began to merge, and after a long period of symbiosis, they actually became one.

Just like the human brain and spine, the interweaving of thoughts allows the wisdom of that complex life to continue to improve.

On that charred earth, they are no longer the struggling survivors.

The reaction efficiency continued to improve, and they even began to use the smoke and exhaust gas. They grabbed the sparks falling from the sky and stuffed them into their own metal-wrapped reactors. The high temperature instantly accelerated the reaction, and they also used this raging energy to make their bodies stronger.

The flame of the reactor was burning, and metal giants stood up from the ground. Condensed gas was entangled in the cracks. They dug into the ground and found the still burning liquid fuel. Then, with their bodies that were no longer afraid of flames, they frantically absorbed the energy of the earth.

The devastated world became full of vitality again.

However, the theme this time is about iron and fire. They are no longer the weak lives recorded in the books...

The steel giant with flames burning in it forged a metal spear and threw it towards the vines in the sky.

The spear with red light streaked across the sky, piercing through the clouds, the roots, and the pages of the book, leaving a hole in the sky...
