As the goblin underlings were enjoying their feast, Li Meuro the puddle to wash the blood off his body.

  He g the rge machete lying on the ground beside him, a look of curiosity on his face.

  The machete wasn't made of metal.

  Its main body was wood, with a sharp stone bde embedded in it.

  The stone bde was smeared with some deg mud, making it look like rust.

  There were polishing marks oone bde, making it very smooth.

  This stone on was much better than the clubs the goblins wielded.

  Li Meng's gaze shifted slightly to the water, which had turned red.

  The first battle had left him trembling all over.

  Though it was dangerous, the rush of adrenaline was intoxig.

  The smell of blood ignited a fire within him.

  Even though he had a human sciousness, his mi was gradually being more like a goblin's.

  This wasn't necessarily a bad thing.

  A human mi wouldn't survive in this world.

  "Boss, we're doing. They'll e back, we o leave!"

  Gobu Qiang ran over, looking at the boss by the puddle with admiration.

  The boss was still an ordinary gobli so powerful it was suffog.

  Even the mighty lizardmen became weak trash in front of the boss.

  Li Meng carefully pced the spider silk into the cloth bag at his waist.

  "Let's go, back to the riverbank!"

  The future predicted by the simuted life had already ged.

  From this moment on, the future was uain.

  Li Meng didn't pn to use the remaining simuted life immediately.

  At least the journey back to the riverbank should be safe.

  "Move out, get going!"

  Under Gobu Qiang's urging, the well-fed goblins got up with their bellies full.

  The battle with the lizardmen had cost the hunting party dearly.

  Ihan five minutes of fighting, over thirty goblins were killed.

  The entire hunting party was reduced to less than thirty goblins.

  "Gobu Da, are you dead or alive?"

  Walking through the dim forest, Li Meng suddenly shouted.

  A goblin ahead of him jumped in shod rao Li Meng with a fawning expression.

  "Boss, I'm still alive!"

  Li Meng looked Gobu Da up and down.

  The goblin had grown stronger, its ber.

  Its level had risen to 8, not far from evolving into a Big Goblin.

  After eating the lizardman corpse, the oblins were also rapidly growing.

  "Follow me!"

  Gobu Da grinned and happily followed behind Li Meng.

  Staying by the boss's side was much safer than being at the front.

  "Boss, if we go back like this, I'll be eaten by the leader."

  Gobu Qiang approached Li Meng with a dejected look.

  It was full of unease and fear.

  Li Meng g the few remaining goblin underlings.

  The goblins were just too weak.

  Over sixty goblins were cut down in an instant by a dozen lizardmen.

  "Gobu Qiang, why didn't we detect the lizardmen's presen advance?"

  The lizardmen had suddenly charged out of the forest.

  This meant they had used some method to mask their st and sneak up on them.

  "Boss, the lizardmen smeared some deg mud on themselves, which emitted a sy smell."

  Li Meng nodded in uanding.

  So that's how it was; the lizardmen indeed had some bck mud on them.

  It seemed the lizardmen knew goblins had keen senses of smell, making it difficult to approanoticed.

  That's why they used deg mud to mask their st.

  Before long, the sky gradually darkened.

  To avoid the danger of the lizardmen, Li Mehe remaining goblins back to the riverbank ht.

  That night, the forest beside the darkness was silent.

  Silver moonlight spread across the nd, slightly dispelling the darkness.

  Suddenly! There was some movement in the forest by the riverbank.

  A group of shadows darted out of the forest and stopped by the riverbank.

  In the moonlight, the shadows were a group of ugly green-skinned creatures.

  "System, start the simuted life!"

  For the sake of his own life, Li Meng used the sed simuted life of the month.

  In the moonlight, Li Meng stood by the r river.

  [Start Simuted Life]

  [That night, yht the goblin underlings to the riverbank, gazing at the shimmering water, pting your future life.]

  [Before dawn, you pn to do something. Please make the following choice:]

  [1. You decide to cross the river ht to avoid the lizardmen threat aurn to the ir.]

  [2. You know returning to the ir will get you eaten by the angry Gobu Ba, so you decide to go dowo the humaory.]

  [3. Do nothing, rest by the riverbank for a night, and bee a wandering goblin.]

  Again, three options, three choices for future lives.

  The first option was reasonable.

  Staying by the riverbank was dangerous; the lizardmen might be pursuing them.

  The hunting party suffered heavy losses, so returning to the ir was the most reasonable choice.

  But a reasonable choice wasn't necessarily the right one.

  Returning to the ir like this, Gobu Qiang would die, and these goblins might also get implicated.

  The sed option was more of a promise.

  As long as they captured a few humans and brought them back, the crisis would be over.

  Although the hunting party suffered heavy losses, they could still secretly capture a few ordinary human civilians.

  However, the sed option was also the most dangerous.

  It was entirely a gamble, and they might not survive.

  The third option, being a wandering goblin, was also a good choice.

  As long as there was enough food, the existing goblins could indepely develop a ribe.

  "Gobu Qiang, should we go dowo the humaory, cross the river back to the ir, or wander outside to avoid being food? Choose one!"

  In the end, Li Meng decided to leave the choice to Gobu Qiang.

  After all, these goblins might not necessarily die if they returned.

  But Gobu Qiang was different; if it went back, it would definitely be eaten by the angry Gobu Ba.

  Gobu Qiang's ugly face twisted into a knot.

  The boss was letting it choose, which made it very difficult.

  It didn't know what to choose.

  If it chose to wander, would the boss abandon it?

  "Boss, I don't want to die, I... I 't go back."

  This was Gobu Qiang's answer, and also its choice.

  "Very well, the's wander outside aablish a new ir."

  Gobu Qiang's choice was also what Li Meng wanted.

  Going to the humaory was too dangerous; wandering outside allowed for more freedom to grow stronger.

  There were too many variables iurning to the ir.

  Moreover, the day-to-day life of hunting for food wasn't what Li Meng wanted.

  "System, the third option!"

  [You choose to wander outside, and a new goblin ir appears in the forest on the north bank.]

  [You lead the goblin underlings upstream along the river.]

  [You choose a dense forest as your new home, and a new species of forest goblin emerges.]
