Opening the map of the area, the map of Shimmer Town was displayed. This town was much shabbier than Lin Zheng imagined. The map showed that more than half of the place was abandoned. Forget it, this doesn't matter.
As for his matter, let’s take a look at the terrain of the entire underground world. After switching the regional map, Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and switched repeatedly, and finally exclaimed, “I’m going!”
"What's wrong?" Youxiang looked at Lin Zheng in surprise.
"See for yourself!" As he said that, Lin Zheng enlarged the map of the underground world and displayed it. This underground world is called "Andegrand", which seems to be the literal translation of the English "underground"? This Lin Zheng is
Let's not complain for now. The map shows that Shimmer Town is huddled in the corner of Undergrand. However, this corner is not even one thousandth of the size of Undergrand! This underground world "Andergrand"
"Grand" is much wider than Lin Zheng and the others imagined!
Youxiang frowned when she saw this map. Originally, she wanted to determine the trend of life loss directly from the terrain, so that she could easily find the mastermind behind the life extraction, but now the map is so big, and this security
Deglang has obvious traces of civilization, and many of the terrains on the map have been artificially modified. It is completely impossible to judge the vitality trend from the mountains and terrain!
For a moment, Youxiang relaxed her brows and said to the goblin sage: "Old man, tell us about the situation in this world!"
"I am very willing to serve you, great savior!" The goblin sage looked a bit crazy, directly referring to Youxiang as a savior, hmm - but Lin Zheng can also understand, like them
With this kind of identity, the more divine you are, the more mysterious you become. Only by keeping it mysterious can people be awe-inspiring. Even if you have no ability, people will think you are great. Many so-called elders of the tribe are here. They just don’t know who this sage is.
Isn't it the same? Just when Lin Zheng expressed doubts about the ability of the goblin sage, the goblin sage began to tell the information about Undergrand.
How did this Andegrand come from? Because it is too old, it is impossible to verify. Anyway, goblin legend is that this underground world was excavated by a god. Goblins have lived here for a long time and established an advanced civilization belonging to goblins.
This is obvious, because Lin Zheng's map shows that there is a huge city "Om" in the shadows above Andergrand. The goblin civilization centered on Om City has flourished for more than three thousand years, but there are only a dozen
Years ago, Andergrand began to experience the kind of loss of vitality that Youxiang mentioned. The earth continued to wither, and crops died in large numbers. The food of the goblins encountered an unprecedented crisis, and the following appeared those people who were not human and ghosts.
The ghostless monsters dealt a fatal blow to the goblins. Although they finally survived the genocide, as the vitality of the earth continued to drain, the goblins could only continue to migrate from the center to the edge of Andergrand.
The lack of food has caused the goblin population to decrease repeatedly. The population of Shimmer Town is already one-fifth of the entire goblin population, but the total number of people is only more than a thousand, and this is the statistics from a few months ago.
, after this time, the population must have shrunk again.
Although he sympathized with the situation of this ethnic group, Lin Zheng did not hear any useful information from the words of the goblin sage. He knew from the goblin sage that the loss of life did not occur from one place.
Instead, it happened in many places at the same time, and finally spread into one area, constantly eroding the remaining vitality of the earth. I originally wanted to investigate from the source, but now it seems that I just thought too much, goblin
The sage pointed out on the map the area where the accident occurred immediately. There were more than thirty places, and they were scattered in no order. It can be seen that the guy who extracted the life force was also on guard. At least his behavior now
It caused a lot of trouble for Lin Zheng and the others!
He stared at the map and frowned for a while. In such a big place, it was obviously very difficult to find the guy who was extracting life! All the goblins looked at them silently. The two of them were the last hope of the goblins. With Undergrand now
In such a situation, it won't take long for the land to be completely uncultivated, and they can't live on the ground and can only wait to die! The expectant eyes of the goblins made Lin Zheng feel dizzy. It is related to the survival of a group. This kind of pressure
It's really not a small thing, but since the matter has been taken care of, I can only bite the bullet!
"Youxiang, what is the purpose of extracting life?" No clues could be found on the map. Lin Zheng decided to think differently. Hearing this, Youxiang pondered for a moment and said: "This has happened to Fusang several times before. Those guys
There are two purposes for extracting vitality. One is to cultivate something that requires a lot of vitality. The other is to use vitality to extend one's life. I don't dare to tell whether the situation here is one of the two.
Decided! However, I prefer the second option!"
"Why?!"
"Intuition!" Youxiang said seriously for a while, making Lin Zheng dumbfounded for a while, but Youxiang went on to say that this underground world is very well hidden. I am considered an ancient monster on the ground, but I have never heard of it.
A little bit of news about this world, which shows that the chance of humans or monsters from the outside world appearing here is not very high. In other words, that guy is most likely a native of this world, and from the traces of civilization on the map
It seems that this world has been almost developed by the goblins, and they are already a dominant family. Any powerful characters should be members of their goblin clan. However, their physiques are only about the same as those of humans on the earth, and their life spans are
It won’t be long. If a strong man who doesn’t want to die appears and extracts the vitality of the earth to extend his life, it’s not impossible!”
"This is impossible!" Qiasili turned pale and shook her head. "We goblins are a group that advocates peace and friendship. It is absolutely impossible for someone to harm the entire group!"
"Human nature is the most difficult thing to predict!" Lin Zheng pointed to Guremi's body, "This is a living...oh, a dead example. Since such a guy exists, how can you be sure?
Isn't there a more insane person among the goblins than him?"
Qiasili was speechless for a while, and then said: "You... well, you only said it was possible, and it may not have been done by one of our own people!?"
"Of course, this is just a guess at the moment!" Lin Zheng smiled lightly, but in fact, he had believed 90% of Youxiang's guess! Lin Zheng looked towards the goblin sage, "You just said,
Goblins once had a very advanced civilization, right!?”
"Yes!" The goblin sage nodded, and then shook his head regretfully, "Unfortunately, those advanced civilizations cannot save ourselves. Over the years, the once advanced civilizations have long since declined!"
"It is indeed a very regrettable thing!" Lin Zheng agreed casually, and then said: "But I don't know what you used as energy at that time!?"
The goblin sage was slightly stunned. Lin Zheng's question was really puzzling. Why did it suddenly involve energy? However, despite his doubts, the goblin sage still replied: "We use the Crimson Flame Stone as energy!
"
"Crimson Flame Stone?" Lin Zheng frowned slightly. This was the second time he heard about this stone. At first, he thought it was something like a gem, but he didn't expect it to be energy. Forget it, let's not care about what these things are.
"How did you obtain the Crimson Flame Stone!?"
"You... why are you asking this?!" The goblin sage looked at Lin Zheng with some suspicion. Could it be that he was wrong? This guy just came here for their Crimson Flame Stone? But that's not right! He can judge right from wrong.
The ability has never failed!
As soon as he saw the expressions of the goblin sage and other goblins, and then thought of that bastard Guremi, Lin Zheng understood what they were worried about. He spread his hands and said, "Don't be so vigilant, the Scarlet Flame Stone."
This is the first time I’ve heard of it, and I’m not interested in it at all! However, I need information about the Crimson Flame Stone, so I can look for clues!”
"What clues can those stones hold!?" Youxiang was a little curious, and even she was a little suspicious of Lin Zheng's intentions! Lin Zheng scraped her nose angrily, "Let's first assume that the prisoner is a goblin, so a goblin must
How to extract the vitality of the earth? Obviously, for the goblins who were very technologically advanced at the time, it was most possible to use the power of science to create machines that extract vitality. And all things like machines require energy, and they began to bloom everywhere.
The situation is probably just to deceive others. After all, continuous extraction for more than ten years will definitely require a lot of energy. The distance between those areas is long or short, which is a big trouble in the transportation of energy.
What's more, there is probably only one prisoner. If he is alone, how will he be transported? If it were me, I would definitely build a machine closest to the energy source, and build the largest one, enough to extract the entire Andergrand.
A vitality machine! So, Lord Sage, is it time for you to tell us where the energy is produced!?"
Lin Zheng's explanation suddenly made Youxiang realize that it was indeed very reasonable. If the prisoner was really a goblin, then this inference was completely correct! After coming back to his senses, Youxiang looked at the goblin sage with cold eyes and bags under his eyes.
If this old goblin still dares to be nagging, she won't mind making the sage suffer a little!
The goblin sage, whose face had changed greatly, looked at Youxiang's cold eyes, and immediately started to break into a cold sweat. The goblins behind him also began to urge the sage to point out the location of the mining area. They finally understood that the culprit was...
It may be in the mining area. In order to survive, who cares whether you are a sage or not? If you don't tell me, I will probably beat you! Finally, the sage gritted his teeth. The clan was almost exterminated. What's the point of keeping this little secret?
Use!? He raised his wooden stick and pointed at a place on Lin Zheng's map. Lin Zheng and the two looked at the place he pointed at. It was actually next to Aum City. There was also a gorgeous disguise. Om
Mu Research Institute? Putting the mining area in a research institute is also quite talented!
