I'm trapped in a cube

Flying between these tall buildings that blocked out the sun, Mo Ling felt like he was in a deep canyon. The high mountain walls blocked all the light, and gray mountain mist was floating above, so he couldn't even see the top of the canyon at a glance.

From time to time, some huge monsters floated past. When I looked closely, I found that they were huge ruins of buildings. They were in various strange postures, but still stood there, like crooked tombstones, marking the death of this city.

These lingering ruins of high-rise buildings still retain traces of past life, but many things are missing.

"There is no household garbage, no small objects that can indicate the existence of civilization, only empty buildings..."

Mo Ling observed these ruins and discovered something strange.

These huge high-rise buildings are more like some kind of "set" to set off the atmosphere, like a film studio for shooting movies. There is no breath of life inside, only endless silence and desolation.

Seeing this scene, Mo Ling slowly descended to Xiaokong's side.

"Have you been here before?" he asked softly.

"No, it's very dangerous here. We usually don't get close to it." Xiaokong shook his head and replied.

"Are there many heavenly soldiers here?"

"Yes, but they should have been led deeper now..."

"Besides hunting down humans, what else can the Heavenly Soldiers do?" Mo Ling asked curiously. He always felt that the desolation here must be related to the Heavenly Soldiers.

Maybe those heavenly soldiers are also responsible for cleaning up something, and humans are just one of their targets.

"What else can they do?" Xiao Kong thought carefully: "Patrolling, hunting, wandering... It seems that they can't do anything else except these things. They have their own patrol ranges and will only wander around in a certain area."

"Besides humans, will they target anything else?" Mo Ling asked.

Hearing this question, Xiao Kong thought about it for a long time, and finally shook his head: "I have never seen them hunting other things."

"What about... roundworms? Will they attack roundworms?"

From Xiaokong’s previous words, we can learn that there are other creatures in this city, and the “round worm” Xiaokong mentioned is one of them.

Since there are "round worms", there must be other creatures. Now Mo Ling wants to know whether the heavenly soldiers are aggressive towards other creatures.

After Mo Ling asked this question, Xiao Kong was stunned again. He frowned and began to think. After a while, he suddenly raised his head, looked at Mo Ling and said excitedly: "No! They won't attack the round bugs! When we came out to collect food before, if we were discovered by the heavenly soldiers, they would only attack us, not the round bugs!"

"This doesn't mean they won't attack the round worms. It's possible they just regard you as their primary target." Mo Ling pointed out the flaws in Xiao Kong's judgment.

"Have you ever seen the heavenly soldiers and the round worms together alone?" Mo Ling asked.

"No, usually when we see the Heavenly Soldiers, they have already discovered us..."

"Um."

Mo Ling nodded.

"It seems that I need to find a heavenly soldier to experiment with."

Since Xiaokong said there are a lot of heavenly soldiers nearby, it should be easy to find them.

Mo Ling instantly expanded his vision to the maximum, and sure enough, he saw a heavenly soldier wandering around the building in the distance. Perhaps because its patrol range was too small, it was not attracted away and remained here.

"There is a heavenly soldier in that place." Mo Ling patted Xiao Kong on the shoulder and said to him, "It's on the right side of the building that was twisted into a pretzel, in the gap between another building."

Xiao Kong looked in the direction Mo Ling pointed for a long time, but saw nothing.

"I can't see it. Are we going to attack that heavenly soldier?"

"No, we want to do an experiment. Can you send the creature over there?" Mo Ling asked seriously, looking into the distance.

"Okay, but I have to get closer. I have to see the heavenly soldier first before I can use my ability. And there is another problem. I can't find a living creature to conduct experiments on right now..."

"No need to look for it, it's right under your feet. Turn over the fourth stone next to your right foot." Mo Ling said directly to Xiao Kong without even turning his head.

Xiao Kong was stunned. He squatted down half-believingly and started counting.

"One, two, three, four."

He pointed with his finger, then grabbed the stones on the ruins and turned over.

Then he discovered that there was a round worm hidden on the back of the stone...

After the bug realized something was wrong, it wanted to escape, but was grabbed by Xiaokong. It could only kick its short legs in Xiaokong's palm and arch its fat body back and forth, but it was still unable to escape.

Xiao Kong stood up with surprise on his face and looked at Mo Ling in disbelief.

"What are you talking about?" Mo Ling didn't hear clearly the boy's childish words and asked curiously.

"Nothing..." Xiaokong scratched his head awkwardly.

Mo Ling didn't care, but began to analyze the position of the heavenly soldier in his field of vision. After a while, he patted Xiao Kong on the shoulder and pointed to a tall building nearby.

"See the gap in the middle of that building? Teleport there first, then look towards the place I just mentioned, and you will be able to see the heavenly soldier. The view there should be unobstructed."

After hearing Mo Ling's instructions, Xiao Kong nodded to show that he understood.

Without hesitation, he summoned a space ripple in front of him, carrying the round worm he had just caught through it.

Soon, he appeared in the gap of the building and looked into the distance in the direction Mo Ling said.

Sure enough, without any obstruction to his vision, he immediately spotted the wandering heavenly soldier.

Xiao Kong gently created a space ripple, quickly threw the round worm over, and then immediately closed the ripple.

Just like that, the round insect appeared directly above the heavenly soldier, and its moving short legs directly climbed onto the metal shell.

The round worm crawled on the metal shell for a while, and found that it couldn't get down, so it curled up into a ball and stuck to the heavenly soldier.

The heavenly soldier seemed to tremble only when the ripples appeared, and then there was no reaction. Even though the round worms were crawling all over it, it had no intention of attacking the round worms.

After looking carefully for a while, Xiao Kong returned to Mo Ling and reported to him excitedly.

"I saw it! The heavenly soldiers won't attack the round bugs!"

Mo Ling nodded. Of course he saw it too. He had been looking over there and confirmed it.

"It seems that the heavenly soldiers really only attack humans."
