I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 70 Two personalities
  "Extermination tactics" was not the name Shibeng himself chose.

Rather, he is an ancestor of the common mining clan.

He discovered that after defeating an enemy in a cavity, new enemies would appear again soon.

A steady stream.

But if the mineral veins in the entire stone pillar are completely destroyed, the stone pillar will be completely safe and enemies will not appear out of thin air.

This tactic also spread slowly throughout the country.

But soon, the rare mineral clan also learned this trick, and both camps began to use cleaning up the mineral veins as a post-war method.

As a result, both groups have very few newborns, and the Needlestone Forest has become increasingly desolate.

Those rare mineral tribesmen began to hide, shuttled through the connected caves that extended in all directions, formed small teams to sneak attack on the mineral veins, and common mineral tribesmen who were alone were hard to guard against.

They will also use the cavities that no longer have mineral veins to artificially connect them, create entrances and exits, and form various secret passages through which they can hide themselves.

After all, they are intelligent creatures and will not fight an uncertain war.

Under the threat of ethnic extinction, these rare mineral tribes still exerted their potential.

So much so that the current war is still going on endlessly and is very anxious.

"Have you never thought about peace? You don't have any fundamental conflict, right?" Li Luo thought for a moment and said.

These mining tribesmen were all born from stone pillars in the same way. Broadly speaking, they were all the same race.

In terms of their camp division, "rare" and "common" are only subjectively distinguished.

There is no competition for resources and no deep hatred, so why must we fight?
  "Why war?"

"do not know."

Speaking of this, Shi Beng seemed to be in a daze, and did not directly answer Li Luo's question, nor did he have any opinions on this meaningless war.

He mechanically introduced everything that happened in the Acupuncture Stone Forest, seemingly like a bystander, surprisingly calm.

He only showed fear when talking about his dangerous experiences.

The only emotion seems to be fear.

Mo Ling suddenly remembered the scene when he met Shi Beng just now. That smart expression and lively conversation were also expressed under fear.

Before, I would even joke with myself and feel embarrassed.

Now he looks like a robot.

When the fear slowly subsided, he began to become very mechanical and numb, and his voice became less rippled when answering Li Luo's questions.

Calm and aloof.

really weird.

Is this a state of emptiness? Mo Ling thought.

Li Luo seemed to feel the changes in Shi Beng, and she suddenly waved her hand in front of Shi Beng.

After being startled, Shi Beng returned to his lively state, but soon became expressionless again.

It's like switching between two personalities, which makes people feel very weird.

After learning about the situation in the Acupuncture Stone Forest, Li Luo asked again: "Do you know how to get out?"

But Shibeng's answer was very surprising: "I can't get out now, the Needle Stone Forest has been blocked."

"Locked?"

"Yes."

Having said this, Shi Beng's expression became vivid again.

He pointed in one direction and said to Li Luo: "There is only one exit from the Acupuncture Stone Forest. The other directions are surrounded by stone pillars. Now that exit is blocked."

"It would be nice to fly out." Mo Ling thought to himself.

But curiosity drove him to continue to learn more. "Because of the blockade?" Li Luo was also very curious.

"I've been away from the tribe for too long. I'm not sure. It's probably because of the alien disease. The way to the exit is blocked." When Shi Beng said this, the expression on his face became more and more unnatural. .

The ups and downs in his tone appeared again, and he returned to his agile look.

Is it because he is afraid?
  Afraid of "exotic pulse disease"?
  When he talked about the disease of different veins, he also looked at the cube in the air and seemed to be a little afraid of the cube.

Mo Ling tried to descend slowly and flew towards him.

This action shocked Shi Beng, and he quickly stepped back and hid behind a boulder.

"What are you doing! Stay away from me!"

Mo Ling was a little confused. He just called himself brother of the Iron Clan, but now he was hiding so far away as if he had seen a ghost.

So he continued to follow and accelerated directly to block Shibeng.

Shibeng seemed to have seen something terrifying, and clung to the stone, with a look of disgust on his face, and slowly moved along the stone, trying to escape.

What is he afraid of?
  Why was he suddenly startled?

"Is there something wrong in your heart?"

Confused by Shi Beng's changing behavior, Mo Ling's suspicion gradually deepened.

We can't let him run away like this.

Seeing the rockslide starting along the edge of the rocks, Mo Ling accelerated again, blocking his escape route.

The stone collapse failed to brake in time and almost hit the block. He had to put his hands on the block and stop himself.

The moment he touched the cube, Shi Beng's mouth opened wide instantly, his whole body trembled with ripples, and messy ripples ran around on the surface of his body.

He took a few steps back and looked at his palms. The stone joints began to shake.

As if he had made a decision, he made a cruel move, and the joints fell off, breaking off the palm that had just touched the block.

But it wasn't over yet. Shibeng quickly moved away from the fallen palm on the ground, ran elsewhere, and began to decompose his body again.

In the end, only the head and legs were left, and he turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Mo Ling quickly peeled off his ankles, causing him to fall directly to the ground.

However, even after he fell to the ground, he kept crawling, trying to get away from the cube.

Mo Ling flew over and stood in front of him again.

When Shi Beng saw Cube blocking his way, he quickly turned around and even gnawed on the ground with his mouth as he crawled forward.

"Why are you so afraid of me all of a sudden?"

Li Luo also walked over, frowned, and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you running away suddenly?"

Shibeng didn't answer, but ran away desperately, and as the cube came closer again, life burst out again.

The growth rate of the broken ankle instantly accelerated, and the sound of metal and stone on the body exploded, reverberating violently on the surface of the body, as if some potential had been stimulated.

Stone thorns suddenly burst out from his back, and his body began to quickly become stronger, completely different from the skinny appearance before.

As the ripples reverberated, his body quickly recovered, his fallen arms grew back, and his body quickly grew taller.

Then he suddenly jumped up, over Li Luo's head, and ran towards the distance.

When he reached a closed stone wall, he stopped again, helpless as he looked at the stone wall in front of him.

He had turned into a stone strong man, but his body was still shaking uncontrollably.

Li Luo took this opportunity and shouted to Shi Beng: "Calm down!"

Away from Cube, Shibeng finally returned to normal a little bit. He slowly turned around and pointed at Cube, his hoarse voice full of tremors.

"You are a disease of different veins!"
