I'm trapped in a cube

"Buzz."

"Buzz buzz."

Mo Ling's vision was still filled with endless red, and his perception seemed to be still imprisoned.

He felt himself separated from the body of the fingerworm and fell into the depths of the sea of ​​blood again.

But in the originally extremely silent sea of ​​blood, there were actually some faint "buzzing" sounds, like flies wandering around the ears...

…

"Escape, escape far away..."

Mo Ling gradually discovered that he could actually understand those strange buzzing sounds. This was a very concise language that distinguished vocabulary and semantics through the length and severity of different "humming" sounds.

"Run away? Why run away?"

Mo Ling asked hesitantly. His voice was transmitted to the front and reflected back. Feeling the sound that bounced back, he was able to outline an outline in his mind.

The outline was like an ear, which was constantly rotating in the air. It was it that was urging Mo Ling to escape.

"A flock of predatory birds is coming. We must escape. Once discovered by them, we will not survive." The voice became very urgent, and Mo Ling could feel that it was very anxious.

Finding that Mo Ling was still dawdling, the ear-like creature floated over directly, pushing Mo Ling and ran away.

"Listen for yourself, how many birds are there? If you don't run away, it will be too late. Why are you still in a daze?" the voice asked.

Can I listen to it myself?

Mo Ling was still confused, but his body started to move on its own.

As his body shook, subtle sound waves passed through the forest. When they were reflected back again, Mo Ling had already determined the number of the birds. The dense number made Mo Ling completely confused.

"What kind of creature is that... so scary."

"How many are there? Thousands? No, tens of thousands!"

The flock of predatory birds covered the sky and the sun, and their voices resounded through the forest. The countless sharp bird calls startled the mosquitoes in the forest. The predatory birds swarmed up and devoured the panicked mosquitoes. Not only that, the mosquitoes in the forest were also stunned. Other creatures were also besieged, and even those huge beasts were torn to pieces under the siege of this group of crazy birds.

And those predatory birds that didn't grab the food actually started to gnaw at the bodies of their companions. With the shrill whine, blood sprinkled from the sky, causing another fight.

The flapping of wings, the wail of injury, the clash of beaks, the tearing sound of claws tearing through the body...

Countless terrifying sounds penetrated Mo Ling's body. Now, he no longer needed the companions around him to urge him, and immediately ran away into the distance...

"I thought you were scared to death." The companion said fearfully.

"No, I just didn't react...where are we going to run to?"

"Run out of the forest and hide at the beach. The predatory birds will stay in that forest for a long time. It should be able to delay the attack for a while."

"Okay." Mo Ling responded blankly. At this moment, all he could sense was the sound of predatory birds fighting each other. Those sounds kept echoing in his mind, arousing waves of uncontrollable fear and nausea.

As Mo Ling and his companions hid away, the sounds in the forest became blurry.

"The flock of predatory birds seems to have stopped..." The companion listened carefully and confirmed.

"What are they doing?"

The companion continued to listen for a while and said with some fear: "They are killing each other."

Kill each other?

"Why do they kill each other?" Mo Ling asked doubtfully.

"Because there is not enough food in the forest. They have killed all the living creatures, leaving only some hiding bugs. They don't like to eat plants, so they can only devour their companions. You know, these crazy birds want to eat Yes, I can do anything..."

The companion's voice was full of fear of predatory birds, and it just forced to calm down and explain to Mo Ling about the predatory birds.

"They kill each other so much, won't they kill all the tribe?"

"No, even if they are all killed, they will quickly breed into new groups. If the babies of those crazy birds take in enough nutrients, it will only take half a day to grow to full size."

"I heard from other earflies that these predatory birds have no gender. They only need to take in enough nutrients to reproduce individually, and the eggs they lay are not eggs, but larvae..."

How can it be so easy for such a terrifying creature to reproduce? Mo Ling was completely stunned.

"These predatory birds are a natural disaster. Facing them, we have no other choice but to avoid them..." The companion's voice was full of helplessness. Facing these crazy birds, no one could give birth to a child. Thoughts of resistance.

At the same time, Mo Ling also extracted other information from his companion's words.

"Earflies? Are you talking about creatures like us?"

Mo Ling made a subtle buzzing sound and felt his own outline in the reflection of the sound. Sure enough, he looked exactly like his companion.

"Am I an earfly too?"

A strange thought suddenly arose in Mo Ling's mind. He suddenly felt that he should not be an ear fly.

But when he thought about it, he couldn't remember his original appearance.

And now, he is getting more and more comfortable with using the ear fly's abilities.

"If I'm not an earfly, why would I use the ability of an earfly?" This made Mo Ling even more confused.

"Who am I?"

Just when Mo Ling was confused, excited voices came from his companions.

"It's good luck that there are other earfly populations on the coast."

Other ethnic groups? Mo Ling listened carefully, and there was indeed a slight buzzing sound in the distance. Those were other ear flies talking, but they seemed to be hiding in a secret place.

"Here." The companion took Mo Ling directly into a cave on the seaside, passed through the cave's many twists and turns, and soon found the base of this ethnic group.

"Which ethnic group are you from?" A guard earfly stopped in front of them and asked Mo Ling and his companions.

"Belonging to the Shudong Clan." His companion replied.

"Come here, what's the matter?" The guarding earfly's voice softened a bit when he heard that it was from the Shudong tribe.

"The predatory birds have entered the forest and are now devouring them everywhere in the forest. In order to escape for their lives, all the companions of our tribe have scattered..." When talking about his own experience, his companion's voice was still trembling.

"A flock of predatory birds?" The guard was surprised: "They have arrived in the forest?"

"Follow me!" The guard immediately became nervous and led Mo Ling and his companions to the depths of the cave.

"Big Patriarch, these two escaped from the Shudong Clan, and they brought important news!"

The guard quickly relayed the information about the arrival of the predatory birds to the patriarch in front of him.

This ear fly that has been floating deep in the cave is very huge, twice the size of a normal ear fly. It hung in the air and quietly listened to the guard's report.

"Grand Chief, what should we do?" the guard asked anxiously.

"Escape." The patriarch answered directly without hesitation.

"Why? We have just moved here not long ago, and the tribe has not developed yet, and we want to escape again? We can't keep hiding from them, right?" The guard was very unwilling.

The patriarch floated quietly in the air. He seemed not to be surprised at all by the arrival of the predatory bird, and his mood did not fluctuate at all.

"Besides escaping...is there any other way?"
