I'm trapped in a cube

Chapter 248 Escape

At first, the cracking sound was very small.

Slowly, these sounds came from all directions.

Mo Ling felt some kind of fragments hitting his armor, and stretched out his hand to grab it. The fragments were like some kind of broken glass.

These fragments were covered with dark rust residue, and the originally clean surface was covered with small black dots.

"What's this?"

Mo Ling held the fragment and looked at it.

"Where did it come from?"

He looked up and saw an astonishing sight.

The protective shield surrounding the entire fortress is constantly collapsing, and the black mist twists and pours onto the fortress.

Under the see-through function of the armor, dangerous red light was emitting everywhere, which was very dazzling and made Mo Ling feel dizzy. Mo Ling knew that it was the omnipresent fog.

The murlocs were too busy to take care of themselves at this time. The mist even broke the protective shield on their armor, penetrated inward, and covered their armor.

The swaying black tentacles gently touched the parts that made up the armor, and old rust quickly covered the rune carvings.

The rune lines that were still glowing were quickly cut off, and the parts were instantly paralyzed and stuck between other intact parts.

The armor that could move flexibly just now turned into an immovable cage in the blink of an eye. The fishmen had no choice but to quickly discard the damaged parts and quickly move with the parts that could still be used.

However, the strange thing is that these black mist don't seem to have any interest in Moling's armor.

Mo Ling's castrated armor didn't even have a protective shield, but when the mist drifted past him, it was like passing by, bypassing the surface of the armor without any fluctuations.

The mist was not as violent as when it attacked the fish-men, and was extremely quiet beside Mo Ling.

The surface of his armor was obviously covered in fog, but there was no rust at all, and the rune carvings were intact.

When the mist first started to riot, various calls for help could still be heard from the communication channel, but as the fishmen's armors were damaged one by one, the sounds became increasingly blurred until they disappeared.

Under the red light, Mo Ling could only hear the chaotic sounds of running around, and people would bump into him from time to time. After a while, the surroundings fell into silence, and the fish channel was also silent.

At this moment, a prompt box popped up in the red light, which startled Mo Ling.

"The superior account will be logged out, the authority level will be automatically increased, and the ban will be lifted."

Ban lifted?

Mo Ling was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.

"Can I talk again?"

Before I had time to be happy, a lot of prompt boxes popped up.

The loud notification sound made Mo Ling feel dizzy.

"Thum! Thumb! Thumb thump~ thump thump thump!"

"The superior account is logged out, the authority level is automatically increased, and the movement restrictions are lifted."

"The superior account is logged out, the authority level is automatically increased, and the weapon restrictions are lifted."

"The superior account is logged out, the authority level is automatically increased, and the control scope is increased."

"Cancel the superior account..."

"Visitor 500, you have the highest authority! Please give the order..."

Mo Ling's square head was full of "thumping, thumping, thumping" sounds that couldn't stop for a long time.

"500 tourists, please select parts cruise mode as soon as possible and specify the permissions of subordinate accounts. There are too many permission vacancies..."

After a burst of pop-ups, Mo Ling found that the operation interface in front of him had undergone earth-shaking changes. Various functions had been completely unlocked, and even the fortress control function was fully open to him.

However, he tried it, and found that the current dragon fortress could not be controlled, indicating that it was damaged too much and needed maintenance.

After regaining consciousness, Mo Ling looked at the pop-up window carefully and realized what had happened.

"Am I the highest authority?"

He casually clicked on a pop-up window in front of him and read the detailed instructions above.

It dawned on me when I saw this.

It turns out that there is a replacement mechanism in the Fish School system. When a certain level of armor is damaged and lost, the permissions of the lower-level armor will be automatically upgraded and the permissions of the upper-level armor will be automatically obtained.

This was originally to prevent no one from controlling certain permissions after attrition.

Because there is a clear division of labor in the fish school, the lack of certain necessary types of work may lead to some serious consequences, so the fish school system has set up this replacement mechanism to prevent vacancies.

But now, all the armors of other murlocs were damaged. Instead, Mo Ling, the armor that was originally a "prisoner", was replaced level by level, and even climbed to the position of supreme commander.

After Mo Ling saw this mechanism, he was also stunned.

"Did all the other armors explode?"

This situation shows that all the armor on Mo Ling has not survived. Is the mist really so powerful?

The armor's detection screen was now full of dazzling red light, and only a few flashing fish-men figures could be seen occasionally. Mo Ling was not clear about the current situation.

At this moment, someone suddenly tapped Mo Ling on the shoulder from behind.

"follow me."

It was actually Bai Zhou’s voice!

Mo Ling looked back and found that Bai Zhou's armor was badly damaged. He seemed to have spent a lot of effort to get behind Mo Ling. He was panting at this time and kept removing the damaged parts from his body.

Blood oozed from the parts behind the neck, but fortunately the parts were not damaged and seemed to be still working.

"This way."

Mo Ling had no doubts and followed Bai Zhou in one direction, bypassing the school of fish and zigzagging to a small hill.

"Continue to go."

Although Bai Zhou kept urging, his condition seemed to be very bad. Not only was the armor on his body hindering his progress, but more and more blood was leaking from the parts behind his neck.

While following Bai Zhou, Mo Ling was also studying his own authority.

"Wait a minute." Mo Ling stopped Bai Zhou, and then put his hand on the part of his neck.

A burst of light flashed, and the part seemed to start to speed up again and began to treat Bai Zhou's wounds.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Ling found the function of controlling the release of armor, completely removed the parts that had become a burden on Bai Zhou, and threw them to the ground.

"I can't find the function to release this thing." Mo Ling looked at the part that was still stuck in Bai Zhou's neck and said apologetically.

"This thing can't be removed." Bai Zhou shook his head helplessly, raised his hand and touched the part carefully.

Then, he looked at Mo Ling with curiosity: "Is your armor still usable?"

"Okay." Mo Ling nodded.

"The mist didn't attack you?" Bai Zhou quickly guessed the reason.

Mo Ling nodded again: "No."

Hearing Mo Ling's answer, Bai Zhou looked at him in disbelief, his expression slowly changing from curiosity to confusion.

"You should have heard what the fishmen said. The more you know about immortality, the more you will be attacked by the mist."

"I heard it, what's wrong?"

"You don't understand at all?" Bai Zhou asked very confused.

"I understand!" Mo Ling replied seriously: "You have to pay for eternal death. The closer you are to eternal life, the closer you are to death..."

Bai Zhou nodded while listening.
