I'm trapped in a cube

Just by looking at the sculpture, Li Luo couldn't guess the craftsman's idea.

She only knew that this sculpture placed in the center of the temple must have some special meaning.

Just as Li Luo was still thinking about the meaning of the sculpture, the cube came over and gently touched her shoulder.

"What's wrong?" Li Luo asked curiously.

The cube turned around and flew to the side. Li Luo immediately understood that it wanted her to follow, so Li Luo immediately chased after it.

"Are you taking me here?"

The cube stopped in front of a stone wall behind the three-branch statue.

Li Luo was still wondering why he brought her here, but soon she noticed that there seemed to be something on the stone wall...

"A mural."

Mo Ling saw the mural on the stone wall shortly after entering the temple.

He did not check the statues like Li Luo, but kept looking at the content of the mural.

The mural extended from the stone wall to the ceiling, and there were even some on the ground. The stone wall also made some reliefs and hollowing to match the content of the mural.

It seems that this mural is so important that even the building structure has to give way to it.

The creatures painted on the mural all look like "headless wolves", and Mo Ling immediately realized that this is a race.

"The statue outside records the appearance of this race."

Hunched body, thick hair, tail hanging to the ground, sharp claws...

"Is there any connection between the race that looks exactly like me now?"

Mo Ling continued to read.

The content of the mural is very complicated, densely painted all over the wall, but after looking at it for a while, Mo Ling discovered the "order" of this mural.

Those reliefs and hollows just distinguish different areas of the mural, using some stone walls or gaps to divide the content, just like "Night Banquet of Han Xizai", the content recorded in these mutually divided areas is at different time points.

The first record was of the normal reproduction and life of this race. At that time, this race was a very powerful force in the darkness. They were numerous, intelligent, and could use tools and traps. They could also cooperate in a team, which was one level stronger than other creatures in the Eternal Night.

Relying on the power of the tribe, this creature has occupied a place in the Eternal Night. Just relying on hunting, it can already feed all members of the tribe and reproduce more and more.

Their bodies are completely built for darkness. Their hair is used to resist the temperature difference in the Eternal Night, their claws are used to tear the fragile skin of prey, their tails are used to maintain balance when running, and their senses can also capture various information in the darkness. They are well-deserved children of darkness.

Because of this unique advantage, they are like fish in water in the darkness, and their lives are becoming more and more comfortable and relaxed.

At the beginning of the murals, they all depicted the power and prosperity of this creature. Although it feels exaggerated, it should not be exaggerated much.

Mo Ling himself can also feel the "adaptability" of this creature to the darkness.

Not only like fish in water, but also a booming potential.

Just like the amphibians that have just climbed onto the land, stepping onto the hard land, there are still infinite possibilities in the future.

This kind of dark creature has just emerged, and they have unlimited potential. The comfortable creatures combined with their powerful wisdom may really be able to establish a unique civilization in the darkness.

Their bodies have evolved to the right level. Now all they need is time to settle. This race will slowly occupy every corner of the Eternal Night, just like humans on land.

Among the many creatures that Mo Ling has seen, no creature has ever given him such a feeling. Even those powerful beings do not have such a strong "adaptability".

This is an attribute that has nothing to do with strength. Some lives can be seen to be incompatible with the environment, and some can be seen to have completely merged with the environment and become part of the ecology.

"It seems that the maximum environmental capacity does not exist. This kind of creature can adapt all the time until it becomes the master of this environment."

Mo Ling is now in the form of this kind of creature, and his experience is also very profound. This mural is not exaggerating the facts. If it continues to develop like this, this race will definitely become more and more powerful and occupy the Eternal Night.

However, a gap lies behind the prosperity...

The picture changed, becoming somewhat decadent.

This race with unlimited potential seemed to have encountered some problems:

An envoy whose appearance could not be seen clearly came to the dark race, and he brought a terrible mutation.

This mutation would directly change the foundation of the dark race.

In the description of the mural, this mutation would make them lose their hair, break their claws, lose their tails, and even make their perception in the dark unclear.

The most terrifying thing is that this mutation would make them fear the darkness and turn them into cowards.

This mutation is constantly stripping away their adaptability to the darkness, expelling them from the darkness, and turning them into another kind of creature, a twisted and weak creature that is completely unable to adapt to the darkness.

Not only that, after being turned into this kind of creature, they will be controlled by the envoy, obey it, become its slaves, become traitors to the race, and even help it spread the mutation, so that other companions will also become that disgusting form and betray the darkness.

This is absolutely unacceptable to them. After realizing the actions of the messenger, they began to kill the traitors and the messenger, but they found that the messenger was immortal.

After killing him once, he would appear in another place and start to spread the mutation.

Those alienated compatriots did not lose their self-awareness, and still retained their original memories and thoughts, but they just couldn't accept the darkness, as if their souls were installed in the bodies of another creature.

Although the dark race can kill these traitors, these alienated traitors will pass the mutation to the dark warriors who killed them before they die, so that these powerful warriors will slowly become weak and become traitors who have forgotten the darkness.

This is a dead end. The messenger's intention is very clear, which is to spread the mutation to the entire dark race and turn them all into that twisted appearance.

As long as they come into contact, they will be infected with the mutation.

The leaders of the dark race can't think of a way to deal with it, so they can only organize the entire race to migrate to avoid the messenger and the alienated companions.

They completely integrated themselves into the darkness and fled farther and farther.

But the messenger was still omnipresent, often suddenly appearing within the tribe and spreading mutations, bringing them a heavy blow.

In order to prevent the mutation from spreading completely, the leaders had to lead a part of the tribe and act separately, dispersing into the eternal night.

The originally prosperous race fell apart, and the civilization that was supposed to emerge was stillborn.
