Chapter 500: A Lost Civilization

As the most powerful beings in this plane, the behavior of giants can be said to determine many living habits of other races. 【Reading.com】

Because of the giants' penchant for human flesh, humans choose to build cities and live in them, and the giant cities echo each other to deal with the invasion of giants. And because the giants don't like the flesh and blood of the elves, the elves can live more freely in the forest, even if they are suppressed by the giants, there is no danger of extinction for the time being. As for the dwarves, it seems that the giants are not very interested in the flesh and blood of the dwarves, but they are not too resistant, so most of the dwarves live in high mountains or caves, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, and thrive.

Dragons are powerful and live in the mountains overseas, so they are able to avoid the killing of giants.

And the burrowing habits of these goblins are obviously also because of the persecution of giants.

It's just that why the giants like to torture and kill goblins, but do not kill them all, but let them maintain a cave life, this really makes Li Yunfei puzzled.

Since you can't figure it out, don't think about it for a while. Li Yunfei retracted his thoughts and began to study the goblin armor in his hand again.

The interior of this goblin armor is extremely elaborate, not only does it have an operating platform with various buttons and joysticks, but also a crystal "window" in the place of the breastplate, which matches the height of the goblin. The head of the Warframe is not a helmet, but a hidden launcher. However, the armor was so old that many parts, including the head launcher, were damaged.

If you look closely, many of the parts inside the entire armor are already rusty, as if they are about to collapse at any moment. Moreover, many of the places that had been cracked were obviously tied up with wires later.

This thing is a complete antique!

The white light on Li Yunfei's hand flashed, and he had already taken out a damaged part from the space ring and looked at it together with this battle armor.

This part was exactly what he got from the goblin civilization ruins of the Steel Soul Half-Plane, and it looked like it was from the same era as the Warframe.

In other words, this goblin armor is at least a thousand years old......

Li Yunfei couldn't help but sigh again that a once powerful civilization had fallen to such a point that the manufacturing process of those war equipment handed down during the civilization period had obviously been completely lost, and future generations could not even carry out repairs.

In the next few days, Li Yunfei directly disassembled the goblin armor on the wind chariot and began to study his internal structure.

He gradually discovered that this thing was similar to the magic gold armor he made, but the process used by the goblin armor was more simple and straightforward in many places, which avoided duplicate manufacturing and energy escape, and the low energy output also made the armor less demanding materials, and finally it could work through the Mithril circuit and ordinary steel.

In other words, the goblin battle armor is equivalent to a simplified version of the magic gold bucket armor, but many of the circuits and design structures in it gave Li Yunfei a lot of inspiration.

After turning on the research mode, time became much faster, and at the same time, with Jiu Jiu taking care of him, Li Yunfei once again lived the life of a lord who came to reach out for food and open his mouth.

Ten days passed quickly, and due to the speed of the wind car, they almost traveled thousands of kilometers. During this period of time, Li Yunfei also had a deeper understanding of the goblin society.

On this goblin wasteland, there are various goblin tribes of all sizes, ranging from a dozen goblins to thousands of goblins. These goblins do not have any above-ground structures except for some gear sculptures damaged by giants, and all of them dig holes in the ground to live, almost like a pack of gophers.

The goblins are fed by the bitter rhizomes of some wasteland plants, as well as some plump insects dug from the ground. It can be said that most of the goblins can only barely maintain their state of survival, and they are extremely miserable.

Even so, giants often appear every now and then to torture and kill goblins.

Fortunately, these giants don't seem to be interested in burrowing, and will stop attacking as soon as the goblins burrow into the crypt. This has also caused many goblins to dare not appear on the ground for the rest of their lives, and have been hiding in deep crypts.

Although they have not been exterminated, the fear of being tortured and killed at this moment has been tormenting the goblins, coupled with the harsh external environment and the shortage of food, the vast majority of goblins have completely turned into beast-like existences. The goblins who really still have some "knowledge" are the only ones left at the patriarch and lord level. And their number is so small!

Fortunately, in this extremely harsh environment, the goblins also have a spiritual pillar of their own, that is, their ancestral god!

The statue of the ancestral god is the shape of a gear. According to the goblins in Jersey, their ancestors once had ancestral gods, and thus established a beautiful world like heaven, not only with all kinds of food, food and clothing, everyone has an ancestral god suit, but also can control some powerful monsters, and even use the power of these monsters for their own use. But one day, the greed of the goblin ancestors made the ancestral gods angry and left them, causing them to fall from heaven and accept the punishment they are now.

As long as you continue to worship the ancestral gods and never forget the ancestral gods, one day the ancestral gods will come back again to rescue these suffering goblins and let them return to heaven again.

After listening to what the goblins said, Li Yunfei instantly understood what was going on, and felt a sense of sadness and sympathy again.

Obviously, the current goblins can no longer understand what the gears are, but although the once glorious technological civilization has completely declined, the reverence for technology has been passed down as a habit and belief. It's just that now, the goblins are completely unable to understand the meaning of alchemy and gears, and only blindly worship it as a symbol, hoping to return to the prehistoric civilization of the past.

It's just that they don't know that bowing to a gear can't make the gears work, let alone create a powerful machine made of gears.

The armor that was once the standard for goblin warriors is now not much left, and most of it has decayed. And those remaining battle armors are also regarded as divine objects of some "ancestral god's gift", and it is impossible to disassemble it to study the principle.

Perhaps, in a few hundred years...... No, it may only take a few decades, and the last bit of civilization of the goblins will be completely lost, and it will become a pack of beasts completely.

Along the way, Li Yunfei killed a lot of giants, but he also understood that this was just a drop in the bucket, and it had no effect, but made many beast-like goblins worship him and treat him as a god-like existence.

At noon that day, Li Yunfei was munching on the case with Jiu Jiu, when he suddenly heard an exclamation from Jersey, and then shouted: "My lord, my lord, we have arrived at the royal court!"

Li Yunfei looked up, and saw a hill a few kilometers away densely covered with hundreds of regular holes, which looked like windows, and the figure of some goblins flashed faintly. At the same time, at the bottom of the hill, round boulders are lined up, forming a passage.

"Where is Wang Ting?" asked Li Yunfei with a puzzled face.

"My lord, this is the royal court. Jersey said, pointing to the hill that looked like a giant anthill
