Obviously you can't be serious with goblins - because they won't realize that you are being serious with them, nor will they understand what being serious means...
Therefore, Hao Ren and others decisively gave up asking why such important information could be forgotten, and instead conducted a more detailed inquiry and understanding of the "nightmare lair" that the goblin knew.
Of course, it was not wise to stay in the ventilation duct near the core area for too long, so they asked these things while moving towards the deeper passage under the leadership of the goblin.
Just like the goblin said before, she actually doesn't know much about the Nightmare Lair.
There are only a small number of surviving goblins in Amantir, and even these surviving goblins have a very limited range of activities - in order to survive, they had to fuse with the earth's core and build a powerful shield.
To completely isolate the outside world, on the one hand, this ensures their safety, but on the other hand, it is equivalent to locking all the goblins in a tight cage.
Normally, the only channel for fairies to perceive the outside world is the crystals buried throughout the planet Amantil. These crystals have basically been contaminated by the power of the Lord of Madness, or have been used as energy sources by corrupt monsters, and their resources have been completely destroyed.
, less than 10% can still be used, and even if they can be used, the fairies dare not activate these information channels too blatantly. They can usually only use the narrow bandwidth generated by the crystal's spontaneous resonance to a minimum.
Collect intelligence on the "upper" area, and three or four of the crystal veins are located near the Amantil Crystal and the Nightmare Lair. This is the only way for the goblins to gain information about that terrifying place.
From the goblin's messy narrative, Hao Ren learned that there was originally no underground space under the Amantil Crystal: before the planet fell, the underground of the control center was a dense and thick rock layer that penetrated deep into the mantle.
Further down are the "crystal pillar" area and the "grid" area that support the entire planetary fortress, and that nightmare lair was created out of thin air after the guardian giants collectively "fallen".
It was created shortly after the Great Rift Valley was torn open at the Equator.
The Nightmare Lair is not located directly under the Amantir Crystal, but is slightly offset to the south, which allows it to avoid the tear zone of the Equatorial Rift Valley. The lair itself is an extremely broad ellipsoidal area, covered by a layer of powerful
Wrapped in a strange energy field, it is difficult for the goblins to perceive the situation inside it. They can only roughly understand that it is a cavity area with a complex structure, and many monsters take root and live in it.
The Nightmare Lair is adjacent to the Equatorial Rift Valley, and part of the "content" penetrates the energy barrier and extends to the bottom of the Great Rift Valley. There, the corrupt monsters have built a large number of facilities to utilize the extended structures, that is, Hao
The "summoning platform" that Ren and his party saw.
As for the "big monster entrenched in the center of the nightmare lair" that the goblin repeatedly emphasized in the narrative, Hao Ren didn't understand what it was in the end. He could only generally think that it was an unprecedentedly powerful derivative of Madness.
It has a physical body, and possesses outstanding mental and dream powers - this power may even be close to the original Rock Marton. In order to create a steady stream of troops for Amentir, the monster was in a long-term sleep state and weaved a huge
Nightmare, and its nightmare is projected into the real world through those extended structures at the bottom of the Great Rift Valley.
There, a large number of brain monsters gather around a device called the "Nightmare Pillar". Their mission is to sleep with the "big monsters" in the nightmare lair and "pull" the monsters that are constantly born in the nightmare faster.
come out.
And this entire process is closely related to the Amantil Crystal.
The goblins couldn't tell what the connection was between the two, but in the goblins' monitoring, it could be observed that the energy of the Amantil crystal was connected to the nightmare lair below, and a large-scale operation was ongoing.
Information exchange.
This made Hao Ren feel quite uneasy.
He was worried that the Amantil Crystal had been completely infected by the power of the Lord of Madness. If that was the case, it was hard to say whether it could be recombined with the other two crystals to form a beacon.
"Are there usually goblins coming up like you?" In the passage leading to a deeper level, Hao Ren curiously asked the goblin who was floating above the data terminal in the form of a holographic projection, "When we first sensed
That aura is you, right?"
"We don't usually come out!" the little goblin said immediately. "The world above is full of monsters. If you go out, you may not be able to go back. Several goblins who came out to explore the road died in this way - we averaged 100
An observer will be sent up only in the next year. But this time, a surveillance line we set up in the upper area suddenly sensed strange energy fluctuations, and then discovered that a group of reckless guys that had never been seen before ran into the monsters.
At the base, I was sent out by everyone to check the situation."
As she spoke, she puffed up her chest: "Of course the aura you felt before was me! I followed you for a long time, but you were so stupid that you didn't even notice it, and you even ran away recklessly.
It attracted the monster's attention. If I hadn't taken action at that time, you would have died long ago."
"Okay, okay, thank you for saving our lives," Hao Ren said to the little goblin with a smile, then raised his head and looked around, "By the way, where is the passage leading to your shelter?"
At this time, everyone had been advancing in the underground area for a long time. It can be seen from the map that they had already left the underground part of the control center and even entered an unmarked underground passage. The surrounding walls were unconsciously moving from
The metal turned into a solid rock with a strange shimmer, and the rocks were inlaid with large and small luminous crystals. This made the entire passage still appear bright enough without lighting, and the passage could no longer
Hearing the buzzing sound of mechanical equipment operating, it seemed that the team had broken away from the base groups full of mechanical facilities and entered the depths of the more primitive planet.
The little fairy's perception of the outside world now requires the help of various sensing modules of the data terminal. Although it is many times more sensitive and accurate than her original senses, it is quite difficult to use because there is a layer of data structure and proficiency issues in between.
Jerky, so it took Xiaodian a while to complete his positioning in the formation: "Oh, we are already close to the crystal pillar layer. Beyond the crystal pillar layer is the big grid, and further down is where the goblins are hiding - but we
There is no need to drill through the crystal pillar layer and the large grid, there is a passage that can lead directly to the shelter~~"
"What are the crystal pillar layers and the big grid?" Little Elizabeth asked curiously.
"This planet was built by the goddess of creation, so it is different from naturally formed planets," the little goblin chirped. "The bottom of the earth's crust is not an ordinary mantle, but a pillar-like structure formed by a large piece of crystal."
, that is the crystal pillar layer, where there are many automatically operating energy units and ancient facilities, because they support the upper level operation of the entire planet, so even those monsters do not dare to mess with the things on the crystal pillar layer, and the large grid
It is also the barrier between the crystal pillar layer and the core of the earth. It is responsible for making the planet more stable and coordinating the energy and information transmitted from each crystal pillar. Part of our monitoring lines are connected to the large grid~~

The little devil girl was fascinated by the incredible astral structure in the goblin's mouth. She opened her mouth and exclaimed in a long voice: "Wow——"
While talking, the team suddenly escaped from the long underground cave. Hao Ren's eyes suddenly opened up. The underground scenery made him stunned.
Magnificent and fantastic colors fill the field of vision, almost dazzling the eyes.
There was no darkness and oppression as expected. The vastness and brightness of the underground world completely exceeded everyone's imagination. Hao Ren only saw a crystal jungle spreading out in his field of vision. Everything in his sight was made of crystal clear crystals. The jungle,
Canyons, streams, shrubs... all reflect colorful illusions in the light from unknown sources.
It's like a frozen world.
In this boundless crystal world, Hao Ren saw the huge crystal pillars supporting the upper structure of Amantil: they were neatly arranged in the crystal world, like the giant pillars supporting the heaven and earth in mythology.
The diameter is probably enough to build a city-state on its cross section, while the top extends to the dark depths beyond the reach of sight.
Everyone actually came down from such a crystal pillar.
There was a faint light lingering in the lower half of these huge crystal pillars. In the light, Hao Ren saw many weird structures like suspended rings that revolved around the crystal pillars. They should be the ancient facilities mentioned by the little goblin.
The automatic operating mechanism deep underground in Amantir has been operating in this underground world since the creation of this starship by the goddess of creation. Even if the world on the surface is changing and the power of madness is sweeping the world, there seems to be nothing here.
not affected at all.
No, it was not that he was not affected - Hao Ren's eyes swept across the crystal world, and he soon discovered that some of the crystal pillars were actually contaminated. They glowed with an abnormal purple-red color, and the ring-shaped facilities surrounding the crystal pillars
It also continuously shoots out violent dark arcs, which looks extremely dangerous.
"I...I have seen a scene similar to this in the illusion of the Throne of Finality," Vivian muttered as if dreaming, "but there are many small animals there, and there is also a crystal stag..."
"What you see should be the crystal pillar layer under the hub," the goblin explained. "The hub, like the three planetary fortresses, was created by the goddess of creation. The structures inside are actually similar. Amantil's crystal pillar
The layer was originally very lively, with many crystal animals living here, but then the crystal pillars began to mutate, and the range in which the animals could survive became smaller and smaller, and now they have basically disappeared, even the forests you see
...In fact, they are also dead, but the crystal plants will not rot after they die, so you can see them."
"Even if those monsters don't come down, the corruption has already spread here," Yzaks looked at the obviously mutated crystal pillars in the distance, hugged his arms and shook his head, "So even if you are hiding in the core of the earth, you will be destroyed sooner or later.
Devoured.”
"I know, but we have no other place to hide," the little goblin on the holographic projection spread her hands and said. Her small size made her pretentious and mature action look quite interesting, "The door leading to the shelter.
