"Let's go check it out!"

  The goblins in the forest quied their pad started jogging.

  Soon, Li Meng heard the cmor of goblins from the forest ahead.

  In a clearing within the forest, a group of goblins was enjoying a feast.

  Each goblin was gnawing on a pieeat with fur still attached.

  "Who??"

  One goblin seemed to have noticed something.

  It stood up alertly and shouted loudly.

  Its warning drew the attention of the nearby goblins.

  The goblins who were dining quickly grabbed various ons and stood up.

  "It's me, it's me!"

  Uhe watchful eyes of the goblins, Li Meng emerged from the bushes with a group of goblin followers.

  Seeing their own kind appear, the goblins put down their ons.

  "What have you guys been up to these days?"

  At that moment, a rough voice came from behind.

  A tall Big Goblin holding a spiked club walked over.

  It gred angrily at Li Meng and his group of goblins.

  This was Gobu Qiang, the leader of this hunting party.

  Seeing Gobu Qiang approag, the goblin followers behind Li Meng shrank their necks.

  Their bodies retreated repeatedly, faces filled with fear and unease.

  Li Meng remained unfazed, pointing his club at Gobu Qiang.

  "Gobu Qiang, I challenge you!"

  This guy wasn't strong; although he was a Big Goblin, his attributes were that of a weakling.

  [Name: Gobu Qiang]

  [Race: Big Goblin]

  [Level: 16]

  [Strength: 26]

  [Defense: 24]

  [Agility: 21]

  [Magic: 6]

  "Haha, Gobu Meng, have you eaten too much crap to dare challenge me?"

  Gobu Qiang ughed heartily, as if he had heard the fu joke.

  The goblins behind him also burst into ughter.

  They ughed so hard they waved their arms and legs, some even rolling on the ground clutg their stomachs.

  "What, are you scared?"

  Li Meng grinned, a mog expression on his face.

  Seeing that Li Meng was serious, the smile on Gobu Qiang's face disappeared.

  It grinned viciously, looking greedily at Li Meng.

  "Gobu Meng, with your tender skin, I'm going to eat you today! Roar-!"

  With a robu Qiang charged at Li Meng with his spiked club.

  He swung the club down towards Li Meng's head.

  If it hit, his head would likely burst like a shattered watermelon.

  Gobu Qiang grinned viciously, his face filled with excitement and greed.

  He could already imagihe se of Gobu Meng's head shattering.

  Then, just as the club was about to smash onto Li Meng's head.

  Li Meng moved, his right hand suddenly reag out, grabbing the spiked club.

  With a "bang," Gobu Qiang's club was firmly caught in Li Meng's hand.

  Although the spikes on the club made Li Meng's hand bleed profusely.

  Gobu Qiang's strike was firmly caught by Li Meng.

  "No... impossible!"

  Gobu Qiang screamed, frantically pulling at the club.

  But in Li Meng's hand, the club was like a mountain, unmoving no matter how hard Gobu Qiang tried.

  "Boss, it's my turn!"

  Seeing the panicked Gobu Qiang, Li Meng grinned.

  With a swing of his hand holding the club, he easily broke free from Gobu Qiang's grip.

  Then swung it down again!

  The handle of the club struck Gobu Qiang's face with a "bang."

  Gobu Qiang's entire face twisted, and his body flew out.

  He flew over five meters before rolling to the ground.

  "The boss... the boss lost?"

  The goblins watg were dumbfounded.

  "The boss won, the boss won!"

  The goblin followers behind Li Meng jumped and cheered.

  "Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng!"

  Gobu Da shouted excitedly.

  The oblin followers also followed suit, shouting in unison.

  Amidst the chorus of shouts, the oblins also joined in.

  For a moment, the forest echoed with the ts of "Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng."

  Fag the goblins' reverent gazes, Li Meng grinned.

  Great, with this, the hunting party was now his.

  Of course, to avoid a simuted life ending, the process had to ge.

  Li Meng raised the spiked club, and the shouts in the forest came to an abrupt halt.

  In the forest, Li Meng walked tobu Qiang with the club in hand.

  Seeing Li Meng approag, Gobu Qiang, who was struggling to get up, ged his expression.

  He retreated repeatedly, looking at the approag Li Meng with a face full of fear.

  "Gobu Meng, you won, from now on, you're the boss!"

  Li Meng approached Gobu Qiang with a smile.

  "Do you submit?"

  Gobu Qiang nodded vigorously.

  "I submit, I submit!"

  Li Meng nodded in satisfa, grinning at Gobu Qiang.

  This smile made Gobu Qiang's heart tremble.

  "Here, it's yours!"

  Li Meng hahe spiked club to Gobu Qiang.

  Gobu Qiang looked at the club in the boss's hand, then at the boss.

  A hint of hesitation fshed in Gobu Qiang's eyes, but he finally forced a fttering smile.

  "Boss, let the club be my tribute to you."

  "I don't his!"

  Li Meng tossed the club to Gobu Qiang.

  Gobu Qiang hurriedly caught the club, holding it like a treasure.

  "From now on, you're still the boss, the leader of the hunting party, but you have to listen to me, uand?"

  Although Gobu Qiang didn't uand why Gobu Meng was doing something that goblins couldn't prehend.

  He didn't think much about it and nodded.

  "The magic crystals, give them all to me!"

  Gobu Qiang quickly pulled a pouch made of animal hide from his waist.

  Li Meng weighed the pou his hand.

  It was quite heavy, indig Gobu Qiang had collected quite a few magic crystals over time.

  But magic crystals were of little use to goblins.

  To goblins, magic crystals were just stohat could emit light.

  "Boss, we should head back, we 't carry any more prey."

  Nearly ten days of hunting had yielded a bountiful harvest for the hunting party.

  Although most of the prey were groundhogs, groundhog meat was the staple food foblins.

  Without groundhog meat, the gobli couldn't support so many goblins.

  "Let's head back!"

  The cooldown for the simuted life was still half a month.

  In this half month, Li Meng po be an obedient, weak goblin.

  This world was too dangerous; the more you did, the more likely you were to die suddenly.

  Without the future predis of the simuted life, it was simply too dangerous.

  "Stop eating, let's move, return to the !"

  Under Gobu Qiang's orders, the hunting party began their journey back.

  When they set out, there were 87 goblins in the hunting party.

  By the time they returned, only 64 remained.

  "Boss, boss, I... I seem to have grown taller and stronger."

  In the dim forest, a group of goblins was on the move.

  The long liretched for hundreds of meters.

  Gobu Da came up to Li Meng, waving his fists excitedly.

  Li Meng g him.

  With that gnce, Li Meng noticed Gobu Da had leveled up.

  All his attributes had increased slightly.

  Li Meng looked at the oblin followers.

  Those who had eaten the Earth Magic Bear's meat had all leveled up.

  It seemed that goblins ing high-tier magical beast meat could accelerate their evolution.

  This made Li Meng's expression ge as he recalled the bodies irap.
