"I don't want something like the Barbarian God appearing in the Goblin Forest. Since yoal is to prevent the Barbarian God's dest, why not cooperate?"

  Cooperate?

  Serov's face showed a strange expression.

  The Goblin's words almost made him ugh.

  What qualifications does a mere Goblin have to intervene in the Barbarian God i?

  But thinking of that Goblin Warrior's unusual strength and wisdom, Serov set aside his disfort.

  Serov looked up at the Goblin not far away.

  "How do you want to cooperate?"

  Li Meng grinned, shouldering a Big Iron Rod.

  "Those Bck Robes are currently in the Bck Mountain tribe!"

  Hearing this, Serov's face ged dramatically.

  "How do you know that?" Serov questioned.

  Li Meng poio his own eyes.

  "Of course, I saw it with my owhis thing was given to me by the Bck Robes."

  Looking down at the sacrificial disk in his hand, Serov's expression ged repeatedly.

  After a while, he looked up at the Goblin not far away.

  "Alright, we'll deal with the Bck Robes, and you're responsible for providing us with intelligen them!"

  Although he khe Goblin was using him, Serov felt this was a mutually beneficial situation.

  The Goblins know the Goblin Forest better than anyone.

  If they have Goblins as informants, the Papal State always be aware of the Bck Robes' movements in the Goblin Forest.

  Seeing Serov agree, Li Meng grinned.

  "Alright, we'll exge intelligence every 365 sus, right here."

  "Agreed!"

  There's no reason not to take advantage of free muscle.

  Li Meng was quite pleased with the agreement reached with the Papal State.

  Though future flicts with humans were iable, those were s for another day.

  "Well then, farewell!"

  Li Meng turned and dashed towards the northeast.

  Where he passed, a long-sting ice path was left oer's surface.

  Watg the green-skinned figure recede oer, Serov felt a heaviness in his heart.

  A Goblin so different had appeared in the Goblin Forest.

  Not only was its strength formidable, but its intelligence was als.

  Ordinary Goblins, even if they had the ability to unicate mentally, couldn't verse with it.

  Because Goblins are only ied iing and reprodug.

  But this one was different.

  Its every move had a strong purpose.

  "Nearby tries to the Goblin Forest might be in trouble iure!"

  Such a future was not hard to imagine.

  Such a future was bound to happen.

  Turning around, a fsh of murderous i passed through Serov's eyes.

  If he could, Serov wao kill that Goblin on the spot.

  To elimiure threats to humanity.

  But priorities matter; pared to that Goblin, the Shadow cil was the Papal State's primary .

  No matter how strong or smart that Goblin was, the threat it posed to humanity was limited.

  But the nature of the Shadow cil was entirely different.

  Their goal was to exterminate humanity.

  To turn human-inhabited pces into wastends.

  The speed of humas couldn't pare to Li Meng.

  Two hours ter, Li Meuro the river.

  "Yue'e, Yue'e!"

  Li Meng called out to Yue'e on the river's surface.

  He y on the ice, submerging his head to observe uer.

  "Boss, I'm here!"

  Soon, a massive crocodile's body emerged from the water not far away.

  Yue'e's enormous body swam towards Li Meng.

  After reuniting, a s crocodile king and a Goblin embarked on their return journey.

  "Boss, once we get back, I need a good sleep!"

  On the river's surface, Yue'e sstream close to the water.

  Riding on Yue'e's back, Li Meng curiously patted her spine.

  "Yue'e, what's up?"

  Yue'e's mention of sleep certainly wasn't in the simple sense of the word.

  "Boss, I have some iion ao hibernate for a while to digest the Magic Crystals."

  Yue'e's response made Li Meng grin.

  He thought Yue'e might have been injured while he was away.

  Turns out it was just a case of iion.

  "Yue'e, once you wake up, you should be able to grasp more magic, right?"

  The significe of a Magical Beast's hibernation is profound.

  They usually only hibernate when breaking through their own bottlenecks.

  Could Yue'e be advang to the King rank?

  Li Meng looked down at Yue'e's rge head ier.

  [S Crocodile Kie)]

  [Level: 57]

  [Strength: 921]

  [Defense: 987]

  [Agility: 734]

  [Magic: 679]

  [Water Bullet: LV8]

  "There's no bottleneck here!"

  Yue'e's status made Li Meng murmur to himself.

  Only at level 100 would there be a bottleneck.

  Yue'e was only level 57, still far from level 100.

  It seemed it was just a case of eating too many Magic Crystals, leading to iion.

  "If only there were Slimes to eat, it was after eating a Slime that I became a genius."

  Slime?

  Li Meng remembered something.

  He recalled the ke full of Slimes.

  "Yue'e, was it the Water Slime?"

  "Yeah! At that time, I was bullied by my kind, so I went hunting in the river. As I drifted, a silly Slime just slipped into my mouth. I didn't even taste anything before swallowing it, and then I became a genius. When I returned, I ate all the members in that area. Hmph, serves them right for bullying me!"

  Riding on Yue'e's back, Li Meng grinned.

  As long as it was the Water Slime, that was fine.

  Hopefully, that ke could be Yue'e.

  "Yue'e, let's go, I'll take you to a good pce!"

  "Boss, where are we going?"

  "Head back, you'll see whe there!"

  In the river, Yue'e picked up speed.

  She was eager to see where her boss was taking her.

  In the following days, Li Meng and Yue'e rushed back.

  They only paused briefly when entering Magical Beasts.

  Seven days ter, in the m.

  On the river outside the northern s, the sun shone brightly.

  On the river west of the Goblin River, a green-skinned figure rode a giant crocodile upstream.

  Their speed was so fast that they left a long-sting trail on the river's surface.

  "Boss, we've reached the northern s!"

  The feeling of returning home made Yue'e very happy.

  Her stomach was unfortable, and she could finally have a good sleep.

  Riding on Yue'e's back, Li Meng patted her spine.

  "Keep goi, hang in there, we'll be there soon."

  At Yue'e's speed, they could reach the ke full of Slimes in a few hours.

  On the river, Yue'e tinued east.

  Soon, they disappeared on the eastern river surface.

  Five hours ter, in the northern forest by the Goblin River.

  In the dim forest, a rumbling sound echoed.

  Looking deeper into the forest, a massive figure was moving its body.

  The owner of the massive body was Yue'e.

  Although Yue'e was agile ier, she appeared clumsy on nd.

  "We're here, we're here, Yue'e, keep it down!"

  Leading the way, Li Meng suddenly reminded Yue'e.

  A Goblin and a crocodile moved stealthily through the forest.
