I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 710 Jelly Library
The orange light enveloped the jelly castle. As the army stepped in, the whole castle began to tremble softly. Stepping on the soft ground, a light push would bounce far away.

Mo Ling curiously touched the ground with his feet, which had a special touch. Although he knew that the essence of this jelly castle might be something very scary, he still couldn't help but feel playful.

The Jelly King did not rush Mo Ling. He first took him around the castle and then led him to a tower.

"This is the library. Everything you want to know is here."

There were many orange jelly books on the soft bookshelf. Mo Ling picked one up curiously and opened it to take a look.

Each page is made of a thin layer of jelly with human characters engraved on it. It is a little difficult to read, but it can still be seen clearly when held under the light.

Mo Ling suddenly had an idea and said to the Jelly King: "I want to do an experiment with this book."

"Please do as you wish." The Jelly King replied indifferently.

After getting permission, Mo Ling thought about it and threw the book in his hand into the cube.

Looking inside the cube, Mo Ling found the so-called "book".

It was an object composed of various sheets of flesh membranes. It was not as square as a normal book at all. Instead, it looked like a bunch of randomly spliced ​​cabbages, with the flesh membranes wrapped together in a disorderly manner.

The translucent flesh membrane is distributed with tiny blood vessels like tree branches. The patterns of these blood vessels are different, with different numbers of forks, directions, and degrees of curvature... The patterns on each piece of flesh membrane seem to carry different information, and these information are combined with each other and seem to have some special reference.

After just looking at it for a while, Mo Ling felt a little dizzy. He intuitively felt that the patterns on those blood vessels were meaningful, and they must record some kind of knowledge, but he couldn't read them and absolutely couldn't understand them.

"It seems that we can only watch from outside..."

Mo Ling reluctantly sent the "book" outside, placed it under the light and began to read.

The orange light shines through the cover of the jelly book, and the words on it are clearly visible:
"Orange Island."

Is this a travelogue? Or a historical record? Mo Ling curiously opened the book and continued reading...

"Five hundred years into the Poseidon calendar, there was a man who made a living by fishing. One day, he was drifting along the sea, forgetting how far he had traveled, and suddenly he came across an island..."

The man approached the island and found that it looked like an orange. It was empty and there seemed to be nothing on it.

He went ashore and found a mountain. Climbing up the hillside, he unexpectedly found a crystal clear castle.

When the people outside the castle saw him, they were very surprised and asked him where he came from.

He answered in detail, and the king of the castle learned of his story, so he invited him into the castle and treated him warmly.

Wang told him that the people on Orange Island came to this isolated place to escape the war and never went out again, thus cutting off contact with the outside world.

During the conversation, the fisherman discovered that the people on the island did not know the existence of the sea god, nor did they know the current calendar.

The fisherman told them everything he knew. After listening, they all sighed with regret.

"The world is changing too fast..."

The fisherman stayed for a few days, said goodbye to the people on the island and left.

The people on the island advised him: "Don't tell anyone outside this place."

He agreed, found his ship and left the island, but he remembered the location of Orange Island, drew a nautical chart, and returned all the way to where he lived.

After returning, he reported directly to the priest of Poseidon and reported the matter of Orange Island to Poseidon.

The Poseidon's army followed the sea chart he drew, found the location of Orange Island, and then launched an attack...

……

This is the whole content of "Orange Island Notes".

After finishing the book, Mo Ling looked at the Jelly King beside him in confusion. "Is that person a believer of the underwater god?"

The Jelly King nodded.

"We treated him warmly, but he betrayed us and told Poseidon about the Orange Island. Since then, we have been attacked by Poseidon's army at regular intervals."

"Later, we captured the sharks and learned from them that it was that man who leaked the information..."

"Those believers and slaves wanted to sacrifice the entire Orange Island, including us. They said that this would make the Sea God very happy, but they couldn't explain why the Sea God would be happy."

"Every time we pressed them, they would tell us not to try to guess what the gods were thinking, so we know very little about the sea god."

"However, what is certain is that it is indeed coveting everything on Orange Island..."

After listening to the Jelly King's explanation, Mo Ling also had a deeper understanding of the sea god.

However, Mo Ling was even more curious...

He looked at the Jelly King and asked seriously, "Are there any books about Orange Light?"

The Jelly King thought about it, walked to a hidden bookshelf, found a book, and handed it to Mo Ling.

This book doesn't have a title, it's just a little booklet like a research notebook.

Mo Ling eagerly turned to the first page and found that it contained the characteristics of the orange light that the Jelly King had told him about before.

The working principle, impact range, special abilities... are all recorded very clearly, but there is no corresponding record of the origin of the orange light.

There was no other way, so Mo Ling had to continue asking the Jelly King beside him.

"Where does the orange light come from?" Hearing Mo Ling's question, the Jelly King thought for a moment and shook his head.

"This orange light has existed since I can remember. I really don't know where it came from, but my elders told me that a long, long time ago, the world was black, and there was no light at that time..."

"A tragic war broke out in our original place of residence. Our ancestors fled to Orange Island to avoid the war. Later..."

"Suddenly one day, the sky lit up and the sea was filled with orange dots of light. Gradually, those dots of light merged with the sea and then washed ashore with the waves."

"The orange light replaced the darkness and also brought about 'differences'. At that time, there was turmoil on Orange Island because of the arrival of the light..."

Having said this, the Jelly King suddenly stopped, as if he didn't want to continue.

"What's wrong?" Mo Ling asked puzzledly.

The Jelly King hesitated for a while, walked to the corner, pushed open a bookshelf, and took out a book from behind the bookshelf.

"This is a record of the turmoil..."

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment and took the book. He didn't quite understand why the book was hidden.

Could it be that this book records something that cannot be known to outsiders?
Mo Ling looked at the cover of the book curiously.

Then, he was surprised to find that he couldn't understand the words on it!
Ever since meeting the Jelly King, there has been no problem in the communication between the two. Even the books in the Jelly Library can be easily read by Mo Ling. The compilation of Orange Light can make everything "understandable", although this "understanding" has been distorted and modified...

But Mo Ling couldn't understand this book at all, and couldn't even read it, because he didn't recognize the language used in the book at all.

The Jelly King at the side looked at the book, his lips moved slightly, and he uttered a vague and unclear sentence:

"This is the Iaukgnaf language..."
