"It's been so many days, the body should be gone by now."

  Groundhogs are known as sgers in the forest.

  Though they usually eat pnts, they won't pass up ahey find.

  "What a pity, such a rge corpse could have fed all the goblins here."

  But Li Meng didn't dwell on it too much.

  There would be plenty of opportuo hunt even strical beasts iure.

  As for himself, it seemed he had lost the ability to evolve because of the Life Simution System.

  His strength came from the Life Simution System.

  This body had already been twisted and enhanced by the power of the system.

  It wasn't surprising that he had lost some of the goblin's inal abilities.

  pared to the ability to evolve by dev magical beasts, abs their Skills was undoubtedly more powerful.

  The former had too low a ceiling, easily limited by one's ialent.

  Most goblins, even if they devoured a dragon, would only bee goblin warriors.

  Even if their bloodline was twisted and enhanced by a powerful fn race, they wouldn't beuch stronger.

  But the power of Skills had no upper limit.

  ***

  "You've grown a bit, nning a rebellion?"

  Li Meng gred angrily at Gobu Da.

  Daring to wave a fist in front of him was something he couldn't tolerate.

  Gobu Da shrank his neck, his face full of ingratiation.

  "Boss, I... I wouldn't dare!"

  "Hmph, you'd better not dare!"

  In the following days, the hunting party traversed mountains and rivers.

  Hunting as they advaowards the gobli.

  Ohird day, the hunting party returo the gobli.

  "Chief, this is my tribute to you!"

  In the cave, Gobu Qia over with a fawning expression.

  He gnced back at his underlings, giving them a signal.

  The goblins of the hunting party quickly carried groundhogs and pced wild boars on the ground in front of the giant rock.

  In no time, dozens of groundhog corpses and dismembered wild boar meat were piled into a small mountain.

  Seeing the mountain of food, the surrounding rge goblins showed greedy expressions.

  Only those who evolved into goblin warriors could bee the chief's personal guards.

  Goblin guards didn't o go out hunting.

  They only o wait in the cave for the hunting party to offer tributes.

  Gobu Ba, ooform, waved his hand.

  Several goblin warriors jumped off the ptform, carrying wild bs back up.

  Gobu Ba took a big bite of a wild b.

  "Gobu Qiang, you're quite good, you have the right to mate!"

  At that moment, a pained pig squeal echoed from the prison on the right rock wall.

  A goblin warrior was driving a forest sow over.

  Seeing the sow being driven obu Qiang's face was full of excitement.

  His mouth slightly open, drool almost dripping out.

  "Remember, this is an honor I bestow upon you!"

  Gobu Qiang couldn't wait, poung excitedly.

  For a moment, the cave was filled with the squeals of sow.

  Watg Gobu Qiang's live performance, Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

  Luckily, he was clever, and the future simuted by the system had ged.

  ***

  Ihan five minutes, Gobu Qiang was done.

  He looked intoxicated, staggering as he walked.

  "Groundhog meat, pork, it's the same thing every day, I'm sick of it."

  Suddenly, Gobu Ba's disgruntled roar echoed in the cave.

  This startled Gobu Qiang, making him jump.

  His body went limp, colpsing to the ground.

  Oofobu Ba angrily threw the pig leg in his hand.

  The pig leg flew dozens of meters, crashing into the rock wall.

  The surrounding goblins shivered in fear, involuntarily stepping back two paces.

  "I want huma, I want huma, you... go catch me some humans."

  Gobu Ba raised his massive hand, pointing at Gobu Qiang.

  Being poi by Gobu Ba, Gobu Qiang shivered in fear.

  He quickly stood up, f a smile.

  "Chief, the pce where humans live is far from here, going there and back will take at least... at least..."

  Gobu Qiang started ting on his fingers, looking fused.

  "Get out, bring back humans, or I'll eat you!"

  Gobu Ba grinned, looking greedily at Gobu Qiang.

  Gobu Qiang was so scared that his body went stiff.

  "I'll go, I'll go!"

  Realizing the situation, Gobu Qiang scrambled out, rolling and crawling.

  The goblin underlings followed behind, faces full of panic.

  Li Meng was among them, his expression unusually serious.

  Could this be the future that happens after his death?

  Li Meng never expected there to actually be humans in this world.

  "Haha, haha!"

  Watg the goblins flee in panic, Gobu Ba ughed heartily.

  ***

  Meanwhile, oside the cave, Gobu Qiang colpsed to the ground in fear.

  "Gobu Qiang, have you caught humans before?"

  Looking up at Li Meng who had approached, Gobu Qiang quickly stood up.

  Gobu Qiang nodded, gesturing animatedly as he spoke.

  "Boss, huma is delicious, tender and fragrant, slightly salty, extremely tasty. It's a pity the female humans are tile; they die after only a few breedings. Mating with humans is also the most pleasurable, hehe!"

  At the end, Gobu Qiang drooled.

  Remembering something, a trace of fear fshed in Gobu Qiang's eyes.

  "There are some really powerful humans, a few of them wipe out our entire hunting party."

  "Humans also like revenge; mas oskirts of the goblin forest have been wiped out by humans."

  "roup of goblins is said to have migrated from the outskirts too, back when the chief wasn't Gobu Ba."

  "Boss, I'm scared, we might die."

  Gobu Qiang's body trembled.

  Though humans were delicious, they weren't easy prey.

  Gobu Qiang uood this better than anyone.

  With just their small group, they might be eaten by magical beasts on the way to humaory.

  "If you don't go, the chief will eat you!"

  Gobu Qiang's neck shrank, his face showing fear.

  The thought of being a pieeat in the chief's mouth sent a shiver down his spine, his legs trembling.

  "Let's rest for the night a off tomorrow!"

  It was the chief's order, they had to go.

  Li Meng uood this, and so did Gobu Qiang.

  Otherwise, Gobu Qiang would really be eaten.

  Thus, Gobu Qiang accepted reality.

  ***

  Time passed quickly, and a day went by in no time.

  As night fell, the forest outside the quieted down.

  Early the m, Gobu Qiahe hunting party towards humaory.

  The hunting party crossed mountains and streams, traversing one valley after another.

  Avoiding one powerful magical beast after another.

  Half a month ter, on a certain high mountain.

  "Boss, once we cross this mountain, we'll enter humaory."

  From a high vantage point, the view oher side of the mountain was clear.

  The other side was still a series of mountains.

  But not as vast, high, or steep as the southern mountains.

  "Boss, we have to be careful; humans form teams to hunt in the goblin forest, and they're formidable."

  Form teams to hunt?

  Li Meng recalled some settings from isekai novels.

  A world with goblins surely had adventurers.

  Where there are adventurers, there are bound to be mages, warriors, knights, thieves, and the like.

  Perhaps the humans Gobu Qiaioned were those people.

  "Let's rest for a while!"

  Li Meng turned and sat on a rge rock.

  Seeing this, the oblin underlings quickly sprawled on the ground.

  "System, start Life Simution!"

  The month-long cooldown was over, and he could finally simute life again.
