Chapter 12 Transfer of Substances

Within the "Realm of Machines", the remaining Elders used a huge amount of resources to finally grasp the clue about Anselm: it is said that the 722nd layer of the Abyss, now known as the Ash Dunes, is likely to be the ancestral land of the goblins.

The Council of Elders made a final mobilization, calling on the elite of the Clan to step into the abyss to explore the void of the Ash Dunes and find the traces of the Void Destroyer.

And just like that, Cobb was drafted.

Hearing this, Zuo De glanced at Cobb suspiciously and said:

"This is the big secret of your race, you don't even know who I am, so you told me like that?"

"Alasβ€”β€”!" Cobb let out a long sigh, sat down on the ground decadently, and said:

"The goblins are finished, it's completely finished! Before I left, I had already heard a rumor: in the realm of machinery, it had been found that some goblins had begun to degenerate! That long-eared curse is so terrible that as long as one goblin is cursed, all the goblins in the entire plane will eventually be cursed......

"Besides, this is not a big secret, there are so many races in the entire main material plane, are there still few similar legends? Even if there really is a legendary weapon, with the current strength of the goblins, it will not be able to obtain and hold it......"

"That's right...... But why did you turn into an abyssal worm? Goblins are not a race that is good at fighting, if it weren't for me, you would have died just now, and what kind of revenge are you talking about. Zode asked.

"It's all to blame on the treacherous Anroze worm demon!" Cobb said indignantly, "I'm not sure if my body has been cursed, so I chose soul transformation when I came to the abyss. This aspect is not our goblin's specialty, so we spent a lot of money to invite an Anroz high-level insect demon. I didn't expect this guy to want to trick me, I just exposed its ridiculous contract loophole, and then let it give me a triple discount on my fees......" Cobb's voice lowered,

"That guy didn't break the contract, but ......"

"It's just to weaken your main consciousness to the limit, and then casually teleport you to an unknown plane, and let you compete with thousands of ferocious worms for the chance to advance, isn't it?" said Zod mockingly. Once upon a time, the Goblins, the Worm Demons, and the Wind Elementals were the most famous group of plane merchants in the great world of Astor, and they were both competitors and partners, and their stories could not be told for three days and three nights on the cross-dimensional business journey.

"This ...... That's true, but considering the price, it's not a loss......"

"Okay......" Zuo De couldn't even complain about this strange idea, and the way the business race thinks is really different.

"So, according to the rules of your goblin clan, I saved you just now, let's say, how much are you going to pay me?"

"My lord," replied Cobb, surprised, "I didn't call for help! I just did all the outdoor sports with my pets, well, a little bit more intense." You're ...... Killed those adorable pets. Uh, well, of course, you don't have to compensate either......"

β€œ......”

"Well, in that case, then you can continue exercising with your pets! ”

"Don't go, my lord~!" Seeing Zuode turn around to leave, Cobb hurriedly hugged Zuode's hind limbs, and he shouted,

"I'll give it, can't I pay you? please don't leave me alone in this damn place, I just wanted to liven up the atmosphere just now......"

"Hmph, really?" said Zuo De, "you didn't look like a joke just now. Say, what will you do, I don't want to carry a burden to move around the abyss. ”

"Uh, sir. I'm a good engineer, and I've done a bit of alchemy, well, and I've studied some accounting...... Maybe you'll need a butler?......" Cobb chattered.

"the point! The special abilities you now have. ”

"Uh, okay, okay. Cobb shrank his head, "That's right, my lord, we goblins believe in the great principle of 'conservation of energy'. So we are inherently able to feel the flow of energy that exists between matter, engineering changes the form of matter, and alchemy changes the nature of matter. Come and see. ”

Cobb showed off the "tool arms" on top of his chubby body, which were tentacles that looked like pliers, wrenches, hammers, and the like. He came to a dead abyssal worm, and with a light touch of a pincer-shaped tentacle, a hard fang was removed, and with this fang, Cobb came to the feet of Zod,

"Please don't resist, my lord. Cobb gently placed the fangs on the joints of Zuode's hind limbs, and then, with a flash of light, something strange happened. The fangs fused with Zode's hind limbs as if they were natural barbs. Zod noticed that his stats panel showed +1 armor.

"What kind of ability is this? you can transplant other worm bodies into mine!" Zode asked in amazement.

"It's not a transplant, my lord. The goblin replied,

"I just changed the shape of it. Here, all abyssal worms are the result of the transformation of soul matter. Their flesh is no different from you and me. We goblins are able to arbitrarily equilibrium the same form of matter, and I call it 'material transfer'!"

"Material transfer? This is a very useful natural ability. Zuo De was the first to think of the high-grade worm corpses he hunted, which originally had many specialized organs that were very good, and Zuo De could only take some small key parts to sacrifice, and most of them were wasted. If there is such an ability, then the external armor of the insect body does not need to be strengthened by wasting soul energy at all, and it is enough to remove the outer armor of those dead high-level worms and install them on Zuode's body.

"Nice ability. Zuode nodded and said,

"Well, I can take you with me in the abyss, but you have to make a demonic pact to be my servant and serve me for a hundred years. ”

As a type of regular life, demons have no lifespan limit, as long as they are not killed, they can live for a long, long time. Therefore, a hundred years of servitude is not a harsh one.

"This ...... Well, I promise you, boss!" Cobb had no choice but to say yes.

Of course, the demon contract is not something that the current Zuode can make, and it has to rely on the Abyss Altar. However, this is much more difficult than purifying the soul core, and the abyss altar required is also more advanced. In a short time, Zuode is not counting on it. Fortunately, the current goblins need to rely on Zuo De completely, and they don't have to worry about what moths he will make.

"Let's go, this place isn't for you. Zode grabbed Cobb with his chelicina, spread his wings, and flew toward his temporary quarters.

Arriving at the cave where he was sheltering, Zod threw the soul core that had failed to be purified to Cobb.

"You're hurt, eat it! You'd better evolve your body with extra energy, I don't want to see you killed by passing bugs while I'm fighting." ”

This soul core is not pure, and eating it directly may cause many hidden dangers to the soul. However, Zode is not obliged to tell Cobb this, he does need Cobb at the moment, but Zode has never intended to take care of him in every detail, and he is not a bodyguard. This soul core can indeed greatly strengthen Cobb, as for the future, who will care about him!

But what he didn't expect was that Cobb took the soul core, but did not eat it, but carefully placed it on the ground, and then the dozen or so small tentacles on his body kept going up and deducting a little, and then used the ability of "material transfer" to transform them into some small parts. Then, under Cobb's dazzling manipulation, these small parts were combined into a very delicate prop.

"Cobb's jumping shoes!" shouted the fat bug, dancing. Then he hurriedly put his bloated worm body on it.

"You can make props out of thin air?" Zode asked in amazement.

"It's not made out of thin air. Cobb explained,

"These parts are made of soul matter, and what you gave me is made of a large amount of soul matter. I've just changed their form, in fact, I prefer the steel. ”

Zuode felt the materials for a moment, and sure enough, they were keratinous substances similar to insect beetles.

"Can you use such a thin material?" Zode doubted.

However, when Cobb put on this pair of strange shoes, and immediately became agile and acted like flying, Zuo De couldn't help but be dumbfounded, it turned out that this was the legendary goblin technology!

"It seems that to be able to become a super race in this magical world, the goblins are not in vain, and there are indeed some doorways. Zuo De sighed secretly.

"Time is running out, and we must get enough soul cores before the rain stops. Keep up, or you're dead. When the break was over, Zode stood up and ordered.

"Wait a minute, boss, slow down, my shoes haven't been adjusted yet, ah, hell, a part has been dropped......" There was a strange cry from the top of the mountain.
