Chapter 646 The Goblin of Bailun Mountain
"Taigu Abyss" Jinlunga is the largest and deepest rift valley in the entire Vales world. It extends from Jotunheim to Midgard. It is more than two thousand miles long from north to south. It is bottomless. Amazing spectacle!
Speaking of the origin of "Prime Ancient Abyss", the aborigines have many related myths and legends. For the colonists, it doesn't matter whether these ancient legends are true or not. The important thing is that Jinlunga is the most coveted "cornucopia" in the world. The abyss is from shallow to deep, and there are rich magic crystal veins. The proven ore reserves are more than the magic crystal ore reserves in other regions of the world combined!
Abundant magic crystal resources have certainly attracted many colonists eager to make a fortune, but it is not easy to make a living in the Jinlunga mining area.
The "immemorial abyss" that the colonists talked about was actually just a large rift valley that could be observed from the surface, and in the depths of the rift valley, there were countless cracks leading to the deeper "dark land".
"Underdark" is a dark world located deep in the earth, consisting of countless huge domes, tunnels, ravines and even magnificent and mysterious dungeons. In this dark underground world, strange monsters are rampant, and monsters emerge in endlessly. It is probably the most dangerous area in the world.
Evil monsters from the "underdark region" often attack the mines set up in the rift valley. Except for the miners obsessed with money, no one with a right mind wants to get close to that ghostly place, and Joan is certainly no exception.
Excluding the too dangerous "immemorial abyss", Joan only had the option of "Bailun Mountain".
From four days ago, Joan would turn into an eagle and fly to this barren mountain every night, searching for evil humanoid creatures that could be used as experimental subjects.
Mrs. Hudson claimed that there were groups of goblins in this forest, but what Joan saw was a different scene—there were many grouse and hares in the forest, and occasionally they could be seen hibernating in tree holes The bear, except for the rare goblin figure!
On the first night when he came to Bailun Mountain, Joan got lucky and caught a goblin in the forest near the creek on the mountainside. This wretched guy with a big body and a small body was in a hurry, as if he was escaping from something.
Joan was delighted to see Liexin, and without thinking too much, he cast a spell to turn the goblin into a dumb person. The remote control "Mage Strike Palm" grabbed the horrified goblin and flew to the foot of the mountain, where he found an abandoned mine and imprisoned it stand up.
In order to prevent the goblins from escaping, Joan showed the "Stone Wand" to turn the soil layer of the pit into a slate, and sealed the hole with a layer of slate, leaving only two fist-sized holes as a window for throwing food and observing the goblins .
On the second night, Joan flew to Bailun Mountain to observe the goblins imprisoned in the mine.
The wretched little thing curled up in the pit and dozed. Joan remotely twisted the "Mage's Hand" and pulled its ears to wake it up from sleep.
After waking up, the goblin showed a terrified expression, opened his mouth wide, and instinctively wanted to shout, but he couldn't even utter a complete word, only occasionally a low and hoarse "uh uh" sound burst out from the depths of his throat.
Joan recorded the details of his observations in the experiment log, and was very satisfied with the effect of "aphasia" on the goblin.
The goblin struggled in vain for a while, and then slumped in the corner of the wall, too lazy to move. Judging from his weak expression and the gurgling sound from his stomach, it was obvious that he was very hungry.
Joan returned to the form of a hawk, flew around the nearby woods, and when he came back, he held a grouse with a broken neck and forced it through the hole dug in the stone gate.
Seeing the food, the goblin's dark eyes immediately brightened up, and quickly swooped over, grabbed the grouse, and stuffed it into its mouth without even caring about pulling out its feathers, causing blood to splatter and creak.
Joe quietly observed, until the goblin swallowed the whole grouse, lay on the ground contentedly, and gradually snored, then he put away the experiment log, flapped his wings and flew into the air, returning to Midgard City.
On the third day of the experiment, Joan came down to Bailun Mountain again in the dark. This time, he wasn't too busy checking the experimental subjects, and went around the forest in a big circle, hoping to catch a few more goblins to enrich his experimental samples. The result was the same as yesterday and the day before yesterday. It was a waste of effort, not a single goblin was found.
Joan was disappointed and regretted a lot. I knew that the goblin was so hard to find, so I shouldn't have turned the goblin into a dumb one in the first place. The correct way is to interrogate it first to find out where its people are hiding. went.
According to Joan's design, once the "aphasia technique" takes effect, it will cause permanent damage, and it is necessary to use the third-ring magic spell to "remove the disease" to restore the subject's vocal cords to their original state.
As for the antiviral potion created by Joan with "Tears of God", he has already tested it on a rooster, and it can only prevent "aphasia", but it cannot be cured.
Joan grabbed a snow rabbit and went back to the mine where the goblin was imprisoned. The goblin seemed to hear his footsteps, and hurriedly ran to the entrance of the cave, staring eagerly at the snow rabbit in Joan's hand, with a flattering smile on his face.
Seeing its flattering expression, Joan felt quite complicated.
Creatures like goblins can be said to have no "human dignity" at all. In order to survive, they can sell anything.
As long as Joan brings it food on time, even if it becomes dumb and deprives it of its freedom, it will still lick its face to please its owner. Conversely, for this kind of self-respecting creature, you can't expect it to be grateful. As long as you give it enough benefits or pose enough threats, it doesn't mind betraying its owner.
Joan stuffed the snow rabbit into the cell and turned his head away, not wanting to see the goblin eating viciously.
The stench of feces accumulated in the cavern, which wafted out through the opening, made him sick.
The goblin doesn't mind the filthy environment, in fact it smells like excrement.
After filling their stomachs, the goblins lay down on the filthy ground and dozed off. Joan thought for a while, picked up a pen and wrote and drew on the paper, trying to express his appeal in a stick figure, and asked his prisoner to take him to find other goblins.
Joan slapped the goblin's face with the "Mage's Hand", and after waking it up, showed it the stick figure.
Qiao An felt that he had already painted very vividly, but after the goblin saw it, his face was at a loss, and he didn't know if he really didn't understand his intentions, or he was pretending to be stupid.
Joan had no choice but to give up trying to let him lead the way to search for other goblins, and flew back to the city disappointed.
Today was the fourth day of the experiment, and Joan still didn't give up. He first landed by the stream where the goblin was caught three days ago, trying to try his luck again.
It turned out that his luck was as bad as ever, and the bushes on either side of the creek were searched, but not a single goblin hair was found.
Joan sighed in disappointment, but soon regained her spirits. Last night, he carefully considered the issue of communicating with the goblins, and felt that there was still a possibility of communication, but it had to be done in a different way.
