Chapter 56: Crystal Apostle
"Move all the corpses together!"
The leader's order made the goblins in the surrounding forest quickly gather.
Hundreds of goblins searched the forest nearby for human corpses.
Before long, over ten human corpses were placed in front of Li Meng.
Looking at the neatly arranged corpses before him, Li Meng's face showed curiosity.
They were all humans, but their hair colors were different.
Some had golden hair, while others had black or brown.
Their facial structures were quite similar, indicating they belonged to the same race.
Since they were dead, Li Meng could not see their information.
"Leader, leader, there's a human still alive!"
At that moment, a goblin came running hurriedly.
Hearing this, Li Meng's eyes lit up.
"Where? Lead the way!"
"This way, this way!"
The goblin eagerly led the way.
Li Meng followed the goblin northward.
After running about a hundred meters, they found a person under a large tree.
It was someone wearing a white robe.
He was still alive but barely hanging on.
More than ten goblins surrounded him, their eyes glinting with greed as they sniffed the blood on him.
They wanted to approach but dared not, with drool nearly dripping from their mouths.
"The leader is here! The leader is here!"
With a loud shout, the goblins surrounding the human scattered like birds and beasts.
They ran far away, watching Li Meng with fear.
[Crystal Apostle]
[Level: 31]
[Strength: 17]
[Defense: 14]
[Agility: 15]
[Crystal Mana: 267]
[Crystal Magic (?) (Cannot be devoured)]
[Crystal Magic (?) (Cannot be devoured)]
[Crystal Magic (?) (Cannot be devoured)]
Seeing the information, Li Meng's expression turned peculiar.
Strange, why were all his skills marked with question marks?
He was clearly human, so why did the system label him as a Crystal Apostle?
"Leader, leader!"
At this moment, a goblin ran over with exaggerated eagerness.
It held a crystal radiating blue light in its arms.
The crystal was sizable, just slightly smaller than the goblin's head.
"This was found in the wreckage. It's so pretty!"
Li Meng took the crystal from the goblin's hands.
[Crystal]
[Crystal Mana: ]
The crystal's information caused a flicker of surprise in Li Meng's eyes.
The mana contained within this crystal astonishingly reached a value of 110,000.
"Could it be that the flying ship is powered by crystal mana?"
Looking down at the crystal in his hand, Li Meng muttered to himself.
If this were true, then crystals were indeed valuable items.
However, for some reason, holding the crystal made Li Meng shiver inexplicably.
"Why does it feel like an ominous object?"
Li Meng raised the crystal high and observed it carefully, murmuring softly.
It was beautiful, extremely beautiful.
The blue mana glow formed stunning light particles.
If this were on Earth, it would definitely be worth a fortune.
"Goblin, take your filthy hands off the crystal! You... you're not worthy!"
At some point, the unconscious human had awakened.
He glared angrily, his eyes filled with nothing but disdain.
Li Meng looked down at him and grinned ferociously.
"Eat him!"
The surrounding goblins were overjoyed.
They screamed and pounced on the human.
One, two, three—over ten goblins swarmed over the human.
They used their hands and sharp teeth to tear at the warm flesh.
The human didn't even have the strength to scream.
He could only watch helplessly as he was disemboweled and eaten alive.
Warm blood splashed onto Li Meng's face from the goblins' claws.
Li Meng stuck out his tongue, licked it, and grinned.
Human blood and flesh were indeed delicious.
Li Meng stepped forward and pulled a blood-stained cloth from the feasting goblins.
He then wrapped the crystal with it.
Humans were indeed remarkable.
Who knew what the cloth was made of?
It was smooth, soft, and very comfortable to touch.
"What a pity!"
Looking at the torn cloth in his hand, Li Meng shook his head.
That human had many skills, but it was unfortunate they couldn't be devoured.
Afterward, Li Meng searched the floating ship wreckage again.
He searched and searched but could not find any magical devices.
The wreckage consisted of ordinary wood, with nothing special about it.
"Strange, it's impossible for there to be nothing special!"
Staring at the wreckage, Li Meng was perplexed.
After searching for hours, he found nothing.
If he hadn't seen the floating ship flying in the sky with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed this pile of wood could fly.
The wreckage looked just like an ordinary wooden ship, with nothing special at all.
"Could it be..."
His eyes lit up as he rushed back into the wreckage.
He rummaged through the debris, scattering wood chips everywhere.
Minutes later, Li Meng emerged holding a long, thick, curved piece of wood.
"So that's it!"
Looking at the curved wood in his hands, Li Meng grinned.
This was a section of the broken keel.
The keel was made of some kind of purple wood.
It was engraved with peculiar patterns that looked mysterious and profound.
"Forget it, this is too complicated!"
Li Meng regretfully tossed the keel aside.
It was evident that the keel was a magical device.
But the patterns on it were too intricate.
With just one glance, Li Meng knew it couldn't be replicated.
Such brain-draining tasks made Li Meng's head hurt just thinking about them.
The commotion in the forest lasted for a long time.
It wasn't until sunset that the forest quieted down.
"Gobu Tian, tomorrow bring some goblins and follow me back to the tribe."
That night, the cave was pitch black.
Below the stone platform, Gobu Tian immediately knelt down.
"Leader, I'll follow you!"
Gobu Tian knew the leader had established a new tribe elsewhere.
It had also heard there were many female Lizardmen in the tribe.
"From now on, you'll be the leader here. I'll tell you what you should and shouldn't do."
"Leader, I... I don't quite understand."
"You don't need to understand. Just do as I say."
"Leader, I understand. I'll obey you."
Time passed slowly as the night deepened.
In the quiet cave, the goblins' snores echoed.
The next morning, as dawn broke, the goblin cave was bustling with noise.
A large group of goblins rushed out of the cave and into the northern forest, screaming.
The three triple-bow ballistae were not taken by Li Meng.
They were left in the goblin cave.
There were many powerful magical beasts in the goblin forest.
The triple-bow ballistae were highly effective against beasts below the fifth rank.
If a strong magical beast appeared, they could use the ballistae to kill it.
This way, they wouldn't have to avoid strong beasts like before.
The goblin nest was a good place, and Li Meng wouldn't abandon it.
As the tribe's hunting range expanded in the future, the goblins couldn't stay together.
They had to spread out and establish multiple goblin tribes.
Each tribe would be responsible for a specific hunting area.
Normally, they would develop separately and regroup when necessary.
This would prevent the hunting teams from wasting too much time traveling back and forth.
By establishing separate tribes, the demand for food would also be significantly reduced.
