Chapter 967, a different way of thinking

Opening the map of the area, the map of Shimmer Town was displayed, this town was much more dilapidated than Lin Zheng imagined, and the map showed that more than half of the places had been deserted. Forget it, it's none of his business, look at the terrain of the entire underground world. Switching the map of the next area, Lin Zheng was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and switched it repeatedly, and finally exclaimed, "I'll go!" ”

"What's wrong?" Youxiang looked at Lin Zheng in surprise.

"See for yourself!" As he spoke, Lin Zheng enlarged the map of the underground world, which is called "Andergrand", which seems to be a literal translation of the English "underground"? This Lin Zheng won't complain for the first time, it shows on the map that Shimmer Town is cowering in the corner of Andergrand, but this corner is not even one thousandth of Andergrand's! This underground world, "Andergrand", is much wider than Lin Zheng imagined!

Yuxiang saw this map, her brows also furrowed, originally she wanted to directly determine the trend of vitality loss from the terrain, so that it was convenient to find the mastermind behind the extraction of vitality, but now this map is so big, moreover, this Anderang has obvious traces of civilization, many terrains on the map have been artificially modified, and it is completely impossible to judge the trend of vitality from the topography of mountains and rivers!

After a moment, Yuxiang stretched her brows and said to the goblin sage, "Old man, tell us about the situation in this world!" ”

"More than willing to serve you, great savior!" The appearance of the goblin sage looks a bit like a god stick, and he directly said that Youxiang is a savior, hmm-but Lin Zheng can also understand that like their identity, the more divine sticks they are, the more mysterious they are, and only by remaining mysterious can people be awe-inspired, even if you don't have any skills, people think you are amazing, many so-called tribal elders or something, that's how they came, but I don't know if this sage is the same. Just when Lin Zheng was skeptical about the Goblin Sage's abilities, the Goblin Sage began to tell Andergrand's information.

How did this Andran come about, because the age is too old, it is impossible to verify, anyway, the goblin legend is a god to dig this underground world, the goblin has lived here for a long time, and established an advanced civilization belonging to the goblin, this is obvious, because Lin Zheng's map shows that there is a huge city "Orm" in the shadows above Andergrand, and the goblin civilization centered on Orm City has multiplied for more than 3,000 years, but more than ten years ago, Anderang began to have the kind of life loss that Yuxiang said, the earth continued to wither, a large number of crops died, so that the goblin's food encountered an unprecedented crisis, and the ensuing appearance of those people and ghosts of the monster is a fatal blow to the goblin, although finally survived from the disaster of extermination, but with the continuous loss of life of the earth, the goblins can only continue to migrate from the center of Anderang to the edge, but the lack of food has made the population of goblins repeatedly decrease, Shimmer Town's side is already one-fifth of the entire goblin population, but the number of people added up is only more than a thousand, and this is still a few months ago, after these times, the population must have shrunk again.

Although he was very sympathetic to the situation of this race, however, from the words of the goblin sage, Lin Zheng did not hear the slightest bit of useful information, and knew from the goblin sage that the loss of vitality did not occur from one place, but in multiple places at the same time, and finally spread into a single land, constantly eroding the land that remained alive. Originally, I was thinking of investigating from the direction of the source, but now it seems that I just thought too much, the goblin sage pointed out on the map the area where the accident occurred at the first time, there were more than thirty places, and they were scattered irregularly, it can be seen that the guy who extracted life was also on guard, at least that guy's behavior has caused Lin Zheng and them a lot of trouble now!

Stared at the map with a sad face for a while, in such a big place, it is obviously very difficult to find the guy who is drawing life! All the goblins watched them silently, the two of them were the last hope of the goblins, with Anderaun's current situation, it would not be long before the land would be completely uncultivateable, and they would not be able to live on the ground, they could only wait for death! The expectant eyes of the goblins made Lin Zheng's head big for a while, it was related to the survival of a race, and this kind of pressure was really not small, but since the matter had been taken care of, it could only be hard-headed!

"Youxiang, what is it generally used for extracting vitality?" There were no clues on the map, Lin Zheng decided to think about it differently, Youxiang heard this, and said in a deep voice: "There have been a few times in Fusang before, and those guys have two purposes for extracting vitality, one is to cultivate something that requires a lot of vitality, and the other is to use vitality to extend their lifespan, whether the situation here is one of these two, I don't dare to judge!" However, I prefer the second option! ”

"Why?!"

"Intuition!" Youxiang said solemnly for a while, which immediately made Lin Zheng cry and laugh for a while, but Youxiang continued, This underground world is very well hidden, and I am a very old monster on the ground, but I have never heard 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 large, that is to say, that guy is very likely to be the indigenous of this world, and judging from the traces of civilization on the map, this world has been almost developed by their goblins, is already a monopoly, what kind of powerful character, it should also be a member of their goblin clan, however, their physique is only about the same as the human on the ground, and the life span will not be very long, if there is a strong person who does not want to die, and then extract the vitality of the earth to prolong their life, it is not impossible! ”

"It can't be!" Chasri shook her head with a white face, "We goblins are a race that advocates peace and friendship, and it is absolutely impossible for someone to be in danger of the entire race!" ”

"Human nature is the hardest thing to guess!" Lin Zheng pointed to Gu Leimi's corpse, "This is a living ...... Oh, it's an example of death, since there is such a guy in the zài, how can you be sure that there will not be a more frantic guy than him in the goblin? ”

Chasri was dumbfounded for a moment, and then said, "You guys...... That, you only said that it was possible, and it didn't have to be our own people!? ”

"Of course, this is just speculation at the moment!" Lin Zheng smiled faintly, but, in fact, he had already believed ninety percent of Youxiang's speculation! Lin Zheng looked at the goblin sage, "You just said that goblins once had a very advanced civilization, right!?" ”

"Yes!" The goblin sage nodded, then shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity that those advanced civilizations can't save ourselves, and for so many years, the once advanced civilization has long since declined!" ”

"It's a shame indeed!" Lin Zheng casually agreed, 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 a little inexplicable, why did it suddenly come to energy? However, despite his doubts, the Goblin Sage replied, "We use the Crimson Stone as an energy source!" ”

"Scarlet Stone?" Lin Zheng frowned slightly, this is the second time he has heard this stone, at first he thought it was a gem or something, but he didn't expect it to be energy, forget it, no matter what these things are, "How did you get the Scarlet Stone!?" ”

"You...... Why are you asking this?! The goblin sage looked at Lin Zheng with some suspicion, could he be wrong, this guy is only here for their Scarlet Stone? But that's not right! His ability to judge right from wrong has never been missed!

As soon as he saw the expressions of the goblin sage and the other goblins, and then thought of the dead thing of Guremi, Lin Zheng understood what they were worried about, and spread his hands, Lin Zheng said: "Don't be so vigilant, this is the first time I've heard of this thing, and I'm not interested in this thing at all!" However, I need information on Scarlet Stone, so I'd like to look for clues! ”

"What clues can those stones have!?" Youxiang was a little curious, even she was a little suspicious of Lin Zheng's intentions! Lin Zheng scratched her nose angrily, "Let's assume that the prisoner is a goblin, so how can a goblin extract the vitality of the earth?" Obviously, for the goblins who were very technologically advanced at that time, it was most likely to use the power of science to create a machine to extract vitality, and everything like a machine would need energy, and it was very likely that the situation of blooming everywhere at the beginning was just to hide people's eyes, after all, for more than ten years of continuous extraction, the energy needed was definitely not a few, and the distance between those areas was long and short, which was a big trouble in the transportation of energy, not to mention that the prisoner was likely to have only one person, if he was alone, How do I transport it? If it were me, I would definitely build the machine qì closest to the energy source, and it would be the largest machine that would be large enough to extract the vitality of the whole Andergrand! So, Sage, shouldn't you tell us about the source of your energy!? ”

Lin Zheng's explanation, Youxiang suddenly realized, it is indeed very reasonable, if the prisoner is really a goblin, then this inference is completely correct! When she came back to her senses, Yuxiang looked at the goblin sage with a cold glint in her eyes, if this old goblin dared to be verbose, she didn't mind letting the sage suffer a little!

The goblin sage, whose face had changed greatly, was looked at by Youxiang's cold eyes, and immediately began to break out in a cold sweat, and the goblins behind him also began to urge the sage to point out where the mining area is, and they can be regarded as understanding, the culprit is very likely to be in the mining area, in order to survive, who cares if you are a sage or not, if you don't say it, it is possible to beat you! Finally, the sage gritted his teeth, they were all about to be wiped out, what's the use of keeping this little secret!? He raised his wooden staff and pointed at a place on Lin Zheng's map, Lin Zheng and the two looked at the place he was referring to, it was actually next to Orm City, and there was a gorgeous disguise, Aum Research Institute? Putting the mining area in a research institute is also quite talented!
