The very afternoon, Gobu Yi returned.

  Apanying him were hundreds of Lizardman women and children.

  The arrival of the White Scale tribe's Lizardmen caused quite a otion in the wooden fortress.

  "It's the White Scale tribe!"

  "What exactly do the Goblins want by gathering us here?"

  A long line of Lizardmeered the wooden fortress through the south gate.

  This caught the attention of the Lizardmen from the other two tribes.

  For a moment, the Lizardmen in the fortress were abuzz with specution.

  Now that all three tribes were present, it was hard not to wonder what the Goblins' true iions were.

  "Boss, I'm back!"

  Oher side, Gobu Yi cheerfully climbed up a watchtower.

  From afar, he had already spotted the boss ochtower.

  Hearing Gobu Yi's panting voice behind him, Li Meng grinned.

  "Very good, Gobu Yi, Gobu Zhang, Gobu Sheng, I'll leave this pce to you. Keep a close wat those Lizardmen."

  With the rotation period approag, he o go bad make some preparations.

  "Boss, where are you going?" Gobu Yi asked curiously.

  Li Meng turo look at the stretch of t wooden structures within the fortress.

  "Of course, I'm returning to the tribe!"

  Li Meng had initially thought of having them stockpile more food.

  But after some thought, he gave up.

  The foht back by the hunting party was all carcasses.

  At most, they could be stored for three days before starting to rot.

  Goblins, with their strong digestive systems, didn't mind.

  Not just three days, even highly deposed, maggot-ied meat was edible for them.

  In this world, Goblins were akin to Earth's hyenas.

  But the Lizardmen's digestive systems weren't as robust.

  They needed fresh food.

  The methods for making jerky and dried fish would have to wait.

  Iure, if the tribe wao go on expeditions, they couldn't afford to stop and hunt along the way.

  That would be too time-ing.

  They needed a type of food that could be stored for a long time and was easy to carry.

  "I'll be back soon!"

  With that, Li Meng turned and leaped down from the watchtower.

  The ground was soft, and Li Meng nded silently from the fifteeer-high watchtower.

  Landing steadily, Li Meng dashed into the water.

  Wherever he went, the water beh his feet froze over.

  In no time, a path of ice stretched across the s's waters, leading into the distance.

  Headi, it took Li Mehan three hours to reach the forest on the eastern shore.

  What took Goblins two days to traverse, Li Meng aplished in just three hours.

  His speed was truly astonishing.

  Li Meng didn't linger in the forest on the eastern shore, tinuing upstream.

  Iernoon, at the Goblin River, within the northern forest.

  The forest was dim and silent.

  In the dense Goblin Forest, survival was an art.

  To survive, life first had to learn to be silent.

  Suddenly, a rustling sound came from a bush.

  The leaves swayed slightly.

  The moment, a fsh of white darted out from the bush.

  It was a small white rabbit.

  Judging by its size, the rabbit was just an ordinary animal.

  It hopped and stopped in front of a colorful mushroom.

  It sniffed with its nose.

  The mushroom's entig aroma made it drool.

  It opes mouth to take a bite of the mushroom.

  But before it could, a shadow fshed past the rabbit in the forest.

  The little rabbit was lifted into the air.

  Before it could react, a feroouth bit off its head.

  The sound of g echoed through the forest.

  "The bones are so chy!"

  Running through the forest, Li Meng grinned.

  pared to magical beasts, ordinary animals were incredibly delicious.

  Even their bones were chy, with a delightful crispness.

  Hours ter, in the forest west of the tribe.

  A tall green figure emerged from the woods.

  "Not bad!"

  Li Meng, stepping out of the forest, gazed at the distant tribe.

  Though distant, it was only about three hundred meters away.

  The open space made the tribe look like an isnd in the forest clearing.

  Behind the wooden walls, derees were visible.

  The wooden walls encircled the tribe, standing firm on the ground.

  Looking up at the wooden walls, one could see many green figures standing guard.

  Every fifty meters, a massive three-bow ballista could be seen ochtowers.

  "The boss is back, the boss is back!"

  Li Meng's appearance caught the attention of the Goblins standing guard on the wooden walls.

  Upon closer iion, the Goblins realized it was iheir boss.

  A Goblin on the wall shouted loudly.

  This drew the attention of the oblins.

  The drowsy Goblins on the wall immediately perked up.

  Li Meered the tribe through the west gate.

  As soon as he entered, a strong smell of pig ma him.

  Walking through the tribe's forest, Li Meng frowned slightly.

  "It seems Gobu Qiang o move out aablish a pig-raising tribe soon!"

  Li Meng had long pnned for this.

  He didn't want his main base to turn into a cesspool.

  Even though he had bee a Goblin in this life, Li Meng still loved liness.

  The tribe had many dry toilets.

  Each dry toilet was equipped with a septik.

  Though simple in structure, they effectively processed waste.

  They only o be ed every few years.

  "Boss, boss!"

  Before he could leave the forest, Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao hurried over.

  "Boss, you're back!"

  The two Big Goblins ran up to Li Meng with fawning expressions.

  "Did anything happen iribe while I was away?"

  Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao quickly shook their heads.

  "Boss, everything's fine, nothing happened."

  Gobu Mo replied with a fttering smile.

  "Very good, go infobu Di and Gobu Shi to lead all the Goblins to gather at the throribe!"

  Upon hearing this, the two Big Goblins' eyes lit up.

  They turedly and ran out of the tribe's forest, disappearing in no time.

  pared to two months ago, the tribe hadn't ged much.

  Aside from the addition of a wooden wall on the perimeter, there were no new buildings withiribe.

  As Li Meng walked, he soon arrived at the throne cave.

  Looking at the familiar building, Li Meng grinned.

  He thought of Benben, who liked to guard the entrance.

  Iure predicted by simuted life, Benben would bring back a group of Ogres to the tribe.

  This indicated that Benben had goo find its own kind.

  pared to Goblins, Li Meng preferred the simple-minded Ogres.

  Because they were simple, they seemed pure.

  Ohey decided on something, they wouldn't easily ge their minds.

  "Bai Ling, I'm back!"

  Li Meng kicked the door open as he reached the entrance.

  The door swung open with a "bang," startling the female Lizardmen inside.

  The female Lizardmen were gathered, chatting about something unknown.

  The familiar, fearsome figure sent them scattering in panic.

  Li Meng strode into the throne cave.

  His gaze swept over the female Lizardmen.

  Seeing them, Li Meng's expression turned peculiar.

  Without the male Lizardmen, their lives seemed quite difficult.

  Each female Lizardman's chest was wet.

  The wooden house was filled with a strong milky st.

  Seeing Bai Ling on the main bed, Li Meng grinned.

  He walked towards her with rge strides.

  Seeing her master approach, a trace of fear fshed in Bai Ling's eyes.
