At first, everything went as expected. However, after Zhou Tian pursued and destroyed some goblin airships, he inevitably started targeting those airships containing the goblin core technology or secrets.
Given Zhou Tian's abilities, capturing these goblin airships should have been no problem. Yet when he actually approached one of the airships, the goblins, having seen the appalling fate of their comrades who let Zhou Tian get close, knew without a doubt that under Zhou Tian's attack, they would have no chance of survival.
In such a desperate situation, the goblins were capable of anything.
Since they were doomed anyway, there was no chance of preserving anything precious on the goblin airship. Consequently, rather than letting Zhou Tian take everything, the goblins preferred to drag him down with them.
