I'm trapped in a cube

After carefully observing the surroundings, Shi Beng returned to Li Luo and whispered: "That's right, this is the alien vein cave. Only patients with alien veins can do such strange things."

weird stuff?

After thinking for a moment, Mo Ling figured out what Shi Beng meant.

The "strange things" Shibengkou refers to are the decorations and carvings that can be seen everywhere in the passage.

As emotionless creatures, the Miners do not know much about art.

Maybe there will be something similar in their knowledge, but they will definitely not waste time making art.

No matter how boring they are, they don't understand art, and they have no desire to do things like decoration and sculpture.

Art has nothing to do with mining people.

Therefore, those who can create art in the Acupuncture Stone Forest can only be patients of different veins who have developed other feelings.

Shi Beng's expression became more complicated.

Li Luo also saw that he was very scared, so he asked: "As long as you pass through here and go up again, can you reach the exit?"

"Yes." Shi Beng nodded.

"Then you go first, we can go alone." Li Luo waved towards Shibeng.

I thought Shi Beng would agree to it, but what he said was surprising.

"No, I'm going with you."

As soon as these words came out, Li Luo froze on the spot, unable to believe his ears.

Mo Ling also had some doubts about whether this was the previous rockslide.

Did he secretly wear the red turban when did his self-awareness get replaced?

Mo Ling thought about countless possibilities in his mind, and even checked whether the red cloth in the square had been swapped.

"You don't have to go, if you're afraid." Li Luo persuaded tactfully: "Don't force it."

Shi Beng shook his head, ripples trembling on his body, and the hoarse and rough voice came out again:

"I'm scared, very scared. I've been in fear since I met you, but I've been defeating the fear in my heart."

"It's like the disease with different veins. After understanding the cause, the disease with different veins is no longer as scary to me as it was at the beginning, but it's all caused by relics and faction struggles..."

"The unknown and weakness bring fear, so I also came to a conclusion."

"As long as you have enough knowledge and strong enough power, there will be no fear!"

Following Shi Beng's words, the ripples on his body slowly became violent, but the expression on his face became calmer.

The ripples vibrated violently on Shi Beng's body, but the color became lighter and lighter, as if it had been absorbed into Shi Beng's body.

Did he really suppress his fear? Mo Ling was a little shocked.

However, Shibeng continued: "I discovered one thing. Suppressing fear cannot leave the shadows, so I am trying to transform fear into knowledge and power, and in turn use this knowledge and power to defeat it."

Only then did Mo Ling realize that he had been ignoring the changes in Shibeng.

When we first met, he was still the coward who only ran away.

But when faced with ghosts, he was able to overcome his fear and rushed forward to test the ghosts with a fire.

Shibeng has been changing his attitude towards fear.

Perhaps he was adapting to the power of fear.

Just as he was thinking about it, the ripples on Shi Beng's body began to reverberate.

The spikes of black basalt began to slowly turn into armor, covering Shi Beng's body.

His body, which had become a strong man, was a bit bloated, and it continued to grow, and the surface was constantly covered with thin stone armor.

"I created several more completely insulating protective layers on the surface of my body, supported by micro-connection points. If a patient with a different vein touches me, I will abandon my armor and escape."

"These stone armors will also enhance my mobility. I added some structures inside so that I can escape in time and avoid harm when facing patients with different veins."

"Furthermore, I have observed that when patients with alien veins touch 'dead objects' such as rock walls, they will not change. My protective layer of stone armor is also made of 'dead objects' separated from the body. It should also be able to prevent abnormality. The veins spread.”

Shi Beng gradually calmed down and began to talk freely, no longer feeling the fear he felt at the beginning.

But Mo Ling could still feel that vivid feeling in him.

It's like the two previous personalities merged into one.

Mo Ling couldn't distinguish the "dead objects" mentioned in Shi Beng's words. To him, these stones were no different.

He only felt that Shi Beng was completely different from before, as if he had suddenly become much smarter.

The idea of ​​being covered in stone armor is also shocking, taking full advantage of the nature of the mineral tribe and the spread principle of the alien disease.

Is this a sudden enlightenment?

Looking at Shi Beng's changes, Mo Ling had some doubts. The "transforming fear into knowledge and power" mentioned in Shi Beng's words was not some poisonous chicken soup.

It seems like he can actually do it.

This is some real ability!

Shibeng is indeed slowly mastering this ability, and is becoming more and more comfortable in using it.

Thick stone armor covered Shi Beng's body, and it was constantly changing and adjusting to adapt to the curves and movements of his body.

He raised his hand and made a fist, and the sound of rocks colliding echoed in the passage.

The body also continued to grow taller, growing to more than two meters tall. The stone armor emerging from the body was still appearing, but after it appeared, it expanded outward and then wrapped inward.

He is making the stone armor denser in this way!

Mo Ling was also shocked to find that there was indeed a thin layer of air inside the stone armor. Shibeng used some evenly distributed sandy contact points to stack each layer of stone armor together.

These stone armors are still changing, and some have turned into ring-shaped structures like chainmail, interlocking.

Others have turned into large or small scales, with thicker middle scales and thinner edges, closely interlaced.

The outer layer is mostly dense plate-like armor, covered in layers like shrimp shells and distributed regularly.

There was even a cavalry helmet on Shi Beng's head. On the outside, it looked like a rough and dark frog-mouthed helmet, but inside it was also a mixture of various structures that tightly wrapped Shi Beng's original head.

Not only is the idea amazing, the operation of Shibeng is also extremely precise.

Not long after, in Mo Ling's field of vision, Shi Beng's body was already filled with various ingenious structures, connected and integrated with each other.

While Shibeng was changing, he said calmly: "Let there be more fear."

At this time, no one doubted Shi Beng's determination. It seemed that he had to visit this strange vein cave.

During this period of time, Mo Ling also knew that Shi Beng was very afraid of the alien disease.

At first, when Shi Beng suspected that Mo Ling was a patient with a different vein, he would be so frightened that he would run away with his head in his arms.

Not to mention the Yimai Cave where patients gather.

Even now, Mo Ling can feel Shi Beng's awe for the Different Veins Cave.

However, the way he deals with fear has changed drastically.

"Let's go, friend."

Shibeng stepped forward, no longer trembling, his steps were extremely steady, and his dense body stepped on the rocky ground, making a strong and firm sound.

"Go find fear."
