A few little goblins flying among the flowers, flapping their translucent wings like cicada wings, constantly sprinkling dots of light behind them. They hummed cheerful songs, like butterflies and bees, and kept collecting nectar from those spiritual flowers and helping them to pollinate.

"What kind of creature is this!" Ye Ping saw those little goblins, and immediately asked Ye Zan with a surprised face.

Don't look at the long history of the Moyi Sect, which has been inherited from the collapse of heaven and earth to the present, but there are not many legends about things outside the heavens. In other words, it's not that they didn't stay, but that the Moyi Sect back then did not reach the level where they could get in touch with these things.

And although Ye Ping'an is the former leader of the Moyi Sect, he has been trapped in that void for tens of thousands of years because of his intention to sacrifice blood to sentient beings, and he has no chance to contact extraterrestrial creatures.

What's more, this little goblin is not the well-known Extraterrestrial Demons, but the pets that those Extraterrestrial Demons have captured from elsewhere. Although there was a big battle between the cultivation world and the outer world, who would pay attention to the pets raised by their enemies.

Ye Ping'an's exclamation did not get Ye Zan's answer immediately, but it frightened those naturally timid goblins. A few little goblins were stunned when they heard the sound, and then like a streamer, they instantly shot into the flowers and disappeared.

"This ...... Don't blame fellow Daoists, the old man didn't want to scare them. Ye Ping saw that the little goblins were scared like that, and he was suddenly a little embarrassed. He is also a person of a lot of age, and he also has the cultivation of the Fa Phase Realm, so he shouldn't scare those little guys with big fingers, even if it's unintentional.

Seeing this, Ye Zan was amused for a while, and persuaded Ye Ping'an: "Ye seniors don't have to be like this, these little guys are naturally timid, and they are extremely vigilant against all changes, which is probably their way of survival." ”

It is also true that although the little goblin has quite magical abilities, it does not have much fighting ability, or self-preservation. Therefore, for them, if they want to survive in a dangerous world and reproduce, they must be vigilant enough.

"This kind of creature, the old man has never seen it, I don't know where it came from?" After listening to Ye Zan's persuasion, Ye Ping'an's embarrassment faded slightly, and then asked again about the origin of the little goblins.

Ye Zan motioned for Ye Ping to step forward with him, took a few steps to the side of the flower bed, and said inside: "Come out, this senior next to me is not an outsider, and he will sit in this fortress for a long time in the future, and your safety depends on him." ”

After Ye Zan's words were finished, it took a few more minutes before he saw a little goblin poke out of the flowers.

"Hey, Ye Zan, it's you!" The little goblin saw that it was Ye Zan, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, but he still shrank in the flowers and didn't dare to come out, and his eyes carefully looked at Ye Zan's side for the night peace.

It wasn't until this time that the little goblin knew that it was Ye Zan who was coming, and it could be seen that when they were just "running for their lives", they didn't have time to pay attention to who was coming. However, this can also be understood, "escape" is naturally to escape first, and then to manage whether it is safe or not, it is better to escape wrong than not to escape.

"Okay, don't hide, if this senior wants to be unfavorable to you, do you think it's safe to hide in the flowers?" Ye Zan said helplessly to the little goblin.

For the timidity of the little goblins, Ye Zan really has no way at all, even if he arranges enough safe living space for them, he still can't make them let down their vigilance. Let's just say that in the medicine garden of Tongtian Peak, although most of the little goblins live in it, those disciples who go to plant and collect medicines still rarely have the opportunity to see them.

Of course, Ye Zan didn't plan to make the goblins not afraid of the sky and the earth, after all, timidity is the survival of their race.

Fortunately, Ye Zan provided a new home for the little goblins, and thus won the trust of the little goblins.

So, seeing that it was Ye Zan there, even though there was a stranger next to him, the little goblin still flew out with courage and came to Ye Zan in front of him. However, she was the only one who flew out, and the other goblins still hid in the flowers and refused to show their heads.

"Ye Zan, why do you scare us!" the little goblin flew up to Ye Zan, crossed his small waist like a wasp, and asked Ye Zan angrily.

Hearing this, Ye Zan was also a little crying and laughing, shook his head and sighed: "Obviously you are too cowardly, okay, this senior is just talking to me, so he scared you like this, can I be blamed for this? Besides, what kind of place is this, it's not someone I trust, will I bring him here?"

"Hmph, we're just vigilant, not cowardly!" cried the goblin dissatisfied.

"Okay, good, you guys are vigilant!" Ye Zan naturally wouldn't argue with such a little guy, and then turned his head to introduce: "This is the senior of the night and Christmas Eve, and he will sit in this war fortress for a hundred years in the future, I just want to tell you about it, so as not to cause any misunderstandings in the future." ”

"Oh, then I see, I'll tell the sisters. The goblin looked at the night next to him, but did not step forward to say hello. After only replying to Ye Zan's words, she turned around and fled back into the flowers, as if she didn't want to stay in front of Ye Zan for a moment.

Seeing the other party's appearance, Ye Zan looked at Ye Ping'an with a wry smile, and said: "Don't blame the night seniors, they were born with this temperament, even I can't get a good face." ”

"If such a fragile creature wants to survive in this world, it is indeed necessary to be vigilant. Ye Ping nodded quite understandingly, and then asked the previous question, and said, "Daoyou hasn't told the old man yet, what kind of creature is this?" When the old man was in the church, he had read a lot of classical books, but he had never seen such a creature. ”

This little goblin is neither a native creature of the cultivation world, nor is it the main force among the demons outside the heavens, so naturally it will not be recorded in any classics. In fact, Ye Zan called these little creatures goblins, and he just relied on some literary works in the world of science and technology to name them. Therefore, what kind of names these little goblins have in the outer world, Ye Zan is not clear at all.

Of course, no matter what the little goblins are called in the outer world, it does not affect Ye Zan to call them goblins, and they can be forcibly regarded as translations.

"These little guys, I call them goblins, can be regarded as a kind of grass and tree elves, and they have a very high affinity for plants. A few goblins in this flower bed are just helping me take care of these flowers and plants, and their groups have been arranged by me in the medicine garden of Tongtian Peak. Ye Zan introduced to Ye Ping'an.

"Little goblins?" Ye Ping'an was still a little dazed, and asked curiously: "These little goblins, are they creatures born after the collapse of heaven and earth? I don't know if they are from the Shenhua Domain, or from some other realm? The old man is in the Moyi Domain, but he has never heard of this kind of creature. ”

At this time, Ye Ping had not yet connected this little goblin with the demons outside the sky. After all, the Outer Heaven Demon is a terrifying existence that can compete with the Immortal Court, and a battle of immortals and demons has torn this world apart. And those little goblins are just a group of fragile creatures who have no strength and can only rely on their vigilance against everything to survive.

"Hehe, they are not creatures born in this heaven and earth, but from the outer world. Ye Zan said without concealment.

"What, you said that they are from the outer world! Could it be that such a fragile creature is actually an evil demon from the outside world?" Ye Ping obviously didn't believe Ye Zan's statement.

"Senior Night, who said that if you come from the outer world, it must be an evil demon outside the world?" Ye Zan asked with a smile.

"Since you're from the Outer World, why aren't you Extraterrestrial Demons?" asked back with a puzzled face.

Ye Zan shook his head amusedly, and said, "The senior's words are wrong! For us and others, everything that is outside this world can be called outside the world. Just as in the world, there is a kingdom like stars, and if you are born in one of them, then a thousand other nations can be called foreign. If there is a country that has enmity with you, is it true that all the people who do not belong to your country are your enemies? As far as your Moyi Domain is concerned, the Outer Realm is just a general term, but there are Shenhua Realm, Tianyuan Realm, Great Wilderness Realm, and so on, how can you generalize? ”

What Ye Zan said was not such a profound thing, and Ye Ping naturally understood it as soon as he heard it. In other words, relative to this heaven and earth, although the outside of heaven and earth is collectively referred to as the outer world, there is not only one outer world. And those extraterrestrial demons may only come from one of the many extraterrestrial worlds, and cannot represent all the extraterrestrial worlds.

"The old man naturally understands what you said. It's just that since these little goblins are from outside the sky and have appeared in our world again, doesn't this have anything to do with the evil demons outside the sky?" Ye Ping asked with a slight frown.

Indeed, no matter how many outer worlds there were, only the outer demons invaded the cultivation world. Then, the extraterrestrial beings who can be left here are naturally related to the extraterrestrial demons.

"The seniors are not wrong about this. Ye Zan nodded, and then said: "However, although these little goblins were brought by the Outer Demons, it does not mean that they are in the same group as those Outer Demons. The seniors have also seen them, and they should be able to guess what position a little creature like them should be on the side of the Outer Demons. ”

"You mean, these little creatures are just pets raised by demons from outside the world?" Ye Ping guessed following Ye Zan's words.

"In my opinion, I guess. Although Ye Zan's words were not very sure, his tone did not hesitate much, and continued: "At the beginning, I led people into the land of the Netherworld, wanting to stop the conspiracy of the demons outside the heavens, and met them in the sea of flowers on the other side. They are there, and they don't know how many thousands of years they have lived and reproduced, maybe they were left over from the battle when the heavens and the earth collapsed. ”

"I see!" Thinking of the strength of those little things, Ye Ping also agreed with Ye Zan's statement.

"Let's be here, these little guys don't dare to show their heads, I'd better take my seniors to the industrial area of the fortress to have a look. After explaining the origin of the little goblins, Ye Zan proposed to continue to visit the industrial area, so as not to put too much pressure on the little goblins.

A visit to the industrial area of the fortress was a plan that Ye Ping had planned from the beginning, but it was only because of the curiosity of the little goblins that he was delayed here for a while. As for Ye Ping'an, although these little goblins are from the outer world, their own strength is too weak, so naturally they are not much interested in continuing to study.

So, at the suggestion of Ye Zan, the two of them left the flower bed square and walked in the direction of the industrial area of the fortress. And here in the flower bed, it was not until the figures of the two people were no longer visible to the naked eye that the little goblins finally came out of the flowers.

These little goblins, although they were frightened once, actually did not continue to look so panicked after the fright. For them, hiding after being frightened like this is actually more like an instinct imprinted in their bodies. When the shock is over, they don't have any after-effects, but continue to do what they have to do as if nothing has happened.

In the blink of an eye, the goblins resumed their previous work, continuing to fly freely among the flowers, collecting nectar and spreading pollen, humming songs and tending to the flowers.

Besides, Ye Zan walked slowly with a peaceful night, and after passing through a piece of buildings, he came to the industrial area of the fortress.

In the industrial area, the first thing that Ye Ping sees is the puppet of the agency that is constantly coming and going. Those puppets are actually working robots, and they naturally have any shape for different work needs. Some of them look like boxes, moving on wheels underneath, and the boxes contain various materials. Some have multiple arms, each with a different type of tool at the top. Others, except for a pedestal, have only one or two thick arms to load and unload all kinds of things from the chest.

"Are these puppets you made?" Ye Ping'an asked Ye Zan with curiosity after being dazzled for a while.

"I can't say that I made it, but my predecessors will know it when I came here and saw it. After saying this, Ye Zan turned around and walked towards a nearby factory.

Inside this factory, there was no movement, and when Ye Zan and Ye Ping came to the gate, they slowly opened the door automatically, showing the scene inside. I saw that there were rows of assembly lines, and there were dense robotic arms hanging on both sides of the production line, which still looked a little scary in the eyes of people who didn't know the truth.

At this time, the production line is not working, and all the machines are in a state of shutdown.

"This ...... What is it for?" asked Ye Ping, puzzled.

"This is where those puppets are made, and I can let my seniors see how those puppets are made. As he spoke, Ye Zan came to a machine and stretched out his hand to operate it a few times.

With Ye Zan's operation, the production line in the factory was quickly put into operation, and various materials were processed into different shapes, and then moved along the conveyor belt and assembled. In just ten minutes, the finished product of a working robot was assembled at the end of the production line and sent to Ye Zan and Ye Ping'an.
