Although they didn't know what the boss wao do, they had to listen to him.

  Gobu Qiang turned and poi a group of goblin underlings.

  "You guys, go find some deadwood and bring it back!"

  The goblin underlings looked at each other, then turned and ran into the depths of the forest.

  "The rest of you, use bark to make ropes."

  Bark ropes were something goblins only used.

  "What are you standing around for? Hurry up a moving!"

  Under Gobu Qiang's scolding, the goblin underlings shivered.

  They turned and dashed into the depths of the forest.

  In the following time, the goblins busied themselves on the shore.

  From time to time, goblins would drag various sizes of deadwood out of the forest.

  Soon, a rge pile of deadwood appeared on the shore.

  ***

  "Strange, how could goblins be ambushed by a human adveeam?"

  Standing on the riverbank, Li Meng gazed at the turbulent river, lost in thought.

  The simution's expnation about human adventurers caught Li Meng's attention.

  The reason goblins could survive in a forest teeming with magical beasts was their keen sense of smell.

  Even when upwind, they could determine if an area was safe by the lingering st of magical beasts.

  It ractically impossible for humans to ambush goblins.

  Goblins could sense humans from afar.

  "It seems I o ge my route!"

  He couldn't follow the future path predicted by the simution.

  Otherwise, his life would be in danger.

  ***

  "Boss, is this enough?"

  Gobu Qiang approached with a fawning expression.

  Li Meng turo look at the pile of deadwood on the riverbank.

  "Not enough, keep colleg!"

  There were over sixty goblins, so the raft had to be rge.

  The river was too rapid, so the raft couldn't be made too small.

  Li Meng walked toward the pile of deadwood.

  "You, you, you, and you, use the bark ropes to tie these pieces of deadwood together, oer another, without overpping!"

  On the shore, Li Meng began direg the goblin underlings to build the raft.

  "You o tie it like this to make it sturdy, got it?"

  "Idiot, not like that, like this."

  "e here, I'll show you again."

  The slow-witted goblins were very slow at learnihings.

  This made Li Meng feel quite exhausted.

  Fortunately, Li Meng atient person.

  Under Li Meng's repeated guidahe goblins finally learned how to tie the deadwood.

  Time passed bit by bit, and as the suhe day came to an end.

  On the riverbank, a raft had begun to take shape.

  The long night quietly passed as the goblins snored away.

  Early the m, under Li Meng's urging, the goblin underlings tiheir work.

  By the afternoon, the raft was finally pleted.

  "Great, is everyone here?"

  Looking at the raft, about thirty meters long, Li Meng nodded in satisfa.

  Although it looked a bit ugly, that didn't matter.

  Li Meng had only one requirement for the raft: that it floated.

  Gobu Qiang g the goblin underlings.

  "Boss, everyone's here!"

  "The's start crossing the river!"

  Li Meng stepped onto the raft.

  "e on, split up to the sides and push the raft into the river!"

  To make it easier to push the heavy raft into the water, Li Meng had chosen a gentle slope when building the raft.

  The goblin underlings quickly split to the sides and grabbed the pull ropes.

  "Pull hard!"

  At Li Meng's and, the goblin underlied their strength.

  The heavy raft trembled slightly and began to move slowly.

  Faster and faster.

  "Alright, everyo on, quickly!"

  Seeing the raft sliding into the water, Li Meng hurriedly urged the goblin underlings.

  The goblin underlings jumped onto the raft in a bit of a panic.

  Fortunately, the process was smooth, and all the goblin underlings made it onto the raft.

  With a spsh, water sprayed everywhere.

  The raft successfully plunged into the river.

  The rushing river water propelled the raft downstream.

  Li Meng quickly picked up a pole as thick as an arm and thrust it into the water at the front of the raft.

  The river was deep, reag five meters to the riverbed.

  Iurbulent river, Li Meng struggled to steer the raft toward the opposite bank.

  Drifting several kilometers along the river, the raft finally reached the opposite bank.

  "Into the water!"

  At a calmer se of the river, Li Meng shouted.

  He dropped the pole and jumped into the river.

  The goblin underlings quickly grabbed the pull ropes aered the water.

  The rge raft was slowly pulled onto the shore bit by bit.

  It wasn't until half of the raft was on the shore and couldn't be pulled any further that they stopped.

  "Tie it securely, we'll on the way back!"

  Not trusting anyone else, Li Meng personally tied a bark rope te tree on the riverbank.

  "Boss, you're so smart!"

  Gobu Qiang had hought of crossing the river this way.

  It was much easier than swimming.

  "Let's go, move out!"

  The goblin hunting party quickly went ashore aered the forest.

  Unknowingly, the group had entered a valley.

  "Boss, I smell something unpleasant, it's lizardmen!"

  As they walked, Gobu Qiang suddenly made a new discovery.

  At the front, Gobu Qiang she air.

  At this point, the group had only ventured less than three kilometers into the forest.

  Li Meng also caught a faint st of decay.

  "Are lizardmen strong?"

  Gobu Qiang looked around warily and nodded.

  "Very strong, they like to live in ss, and any creature entering the s will be killed by them."

  "Sometimes they leave the s to hunt magical beasts. Many hunting parties have entered them. Although they don't like gobli, they'll kill goblins on sight."

  The simution's predicted future didn't include entering lizardmen.

  This indicated they wouldn't run into lizardmen.

  "Let's go around them!"

  The rotten smell came from the left front.

  That dire should be the s area ected to the river.

  The goblin team in the forest ged dire and headed northwest.

  "Boss, boss, it's a Great Wind Rabbit!"

  After walking a bit further, Gobu Da rao Li Meng with a delighted expression.

  "Boss, Great Wind Rabbits are delicious, let's catch it."

  Gobu Da looked at the boss expetly, drooling.

  Great Wind Rabbit?

  Li Meng's expression ged slightly, his eyes brightening.

  He had been waiting freat Wind Rabbit.

  He hadn't expected to enter one so soon.

  Li Meng obu Qiang.

  Gobu Qiang grinned, drool dripping from the er of his mouth.

  "Hunt, hunt, Great Wind Rabbit, Great Wind Rabbit!"

  Though his words were disjoihey made the goblin underlings' eyes light up.

  All the goblins slowed their pad spread out to the sides.

  They had already caught the st of the Great Wind Rabbit.

  In the dim forest, dozens of goblins cautiously moved in a fan shape.
