Li Meng hid behind a rge tree, peering at the ke outside.

  The ke remained bright.

  The scorg sunlight shimmered oer's surface, refleg a dazzling brilliance.

  Various sizes of Water Slimes were frolig ier.

  They bounced around, appearing peaceful and leisurely.

  "Yue'e, is it those things?"

  Behind Li Meng, Yue'e poked out her enormous head.

  "Boss, so many slimes, it's them!"

  Li Meng grinned and poiowards the ke.

  "Yue'e, charge!"

  "Yes, Boss!"

  Yue'e took giant strides towards the ke.

  For a moment, the forest resounded with a rumbling noise.

  The huge otion caused the Water Slimes in the ke to scatter like startled birds as.

  From the depths of the forest, a massive shadow emerged.

  Yue'e's gigantic body thundered out of the forest.

  She plunged headfirst into the ke.

  "Spsh!"

  A loud crash was heard, and water spshed everywhere.

  Yue'e's enormous body was half-submerged, thrashing around.

  "Boss, Boss, this is the taste!"

  After thrashing for a while, Yue'e y fortably ier.

  Li Meng emerged from the dim forest.

  His tall figure basked in the sunlight.

  "Yue'e, do you like it here?"

  Li Meng shouted to Yue'e ier from the shore.

  Yue'e turned her massive body.

  "Boss, the water here feels great, I want to hibernate here."

  "Alright, then you stay here."

  Li Meng plopped down on the shore.

  He looked up, squinting at the sun high in the sky.

  The sun was gring, causing a stingiion in his eyes.

  But that feeling was exhirating.

  After a while, Li Meng couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head.

  After staying on the shore for a while, Li Meng stood up.

  "Yue'e, I'm leaving now. Return to the northern s when you wake up."

  "I know, Boss!"

  Li Meng gnced around the surrounding forest.

  Theurned and walked into the dim forest.

  Havihe tribe for nearly a month, he o go bad check.

  In the dim forest, Li Meng walked unhurriedly.

  "Should I spend a Magic Crystal to simute life?"

  He had been beheaded and had reached a cooperation agreement with the Temple Knights of the Papal State's ander, Serov.

  These two events were enough to ge the course of the future.

  "Fet it, let's wait another half month. Save the Magic Crystal for Yue'e!"

  Having made up his mind, Li Meng grinned.

  His figure flickered, sprinting through the dim forest.

  Moments ter, in the forest north of the Goblin River.

  A slight otion suddenly arose in the forest.

  In the instant, a green-skinned figure darted out of the dim forest.

  It leaped from the shore.

  Spanning dozens of meters, it nded oer with a "thud."

  On the river's surface, Li Meng looked down at the ice beh his feet.

  His expression was thoughtful.

  After a while, Li Meng grinned.

  He started running on the river's surface.

  In a few breaths, he crossed hundreds of meters of the river, charging into the northern forest.

  Several hours ter, at the east gate of the throribe.

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

  The otion in the forest caught the attention of the Goblins on the wooden wall.

  When they saw it was the boss running out of the forest.

  The wooden wall erupted with cries of "Wah wah."

  The tightly closed west gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.

  After more than half a month, Li Meuro the throribe.

  pared to when he left, the throribe hadn't ged much.

  The scale of the throribe wouldn't expand further.

  Sub-tribes would increase with the number of Goblins and the expansion of hunting areas.

  Each sub-tribe managed a hunting area.

  "Where's Bai Ling, where is she?"

  Back at the throne cave, Li Meng saw a group of female Lizardmen.

  The sun was gradually setting.

  At this time, the female Lizardmen had all returo the tribe.

  The Goblin's inquiry caused the female Lizardmen in the wooden house to show a look of panic.

  Beside them, Hui Shasha mustered the ce to step forward.

  She k on the ground, l her head.

  "Master, the chieftaiuro the Yue ot long ago!"

  Li Meng grabbed Hui Shasha's arm and pulled her up.

  Then he carried her with big strides towards the bed.

  The Goblin's nightlife was quite monotonous.

  Besides making little Goblins, there wasn't much else to do.

  The battle with the pi legion of the Principality of Ilysis had cost them dearly.

  In the ing year, all the upper Goblins had to stay ihroribe.

  That night, the throne cave was bustling.

  Outside the door, Benben was awakened by the otion in the wooden house.

  He got up, gnced back, and then y down to sleep soundly.

  Early the m, just as dawn broke, Li Mehe tribe again.

  He exited through the east gate, disappearing into the eastern forest.

  In the following days, Li Meng focused oask.

  Iigating the habits and breeding cycles of the forest's creatures.

  Another new day.

  In the northern forest by the Goblin River.

  The dim forest was quiet and silent.

  It seemed peaceful, but various sounds were hidden within.

  In the depths of the ghostly forest, a group of figures was amidst the lush bushes.

  They were forest deer, each with a shoulder height of 1.5 meters and a sturdy body.

  They were scattered throughout the forest, nibbling on the bushes' branches and leaves.

  Occasionally, they would raise their heads, cautiously surveying their surroundings.

  Not far from the deer herd, a pair of eyes was watg them.

  Behind a rge tree, Li Meng was hiding.

  He poked his head out to observe the forest deer.

  "So cute!"

  The soft-furred forest deer were quite endearing to Li Meng.

  They looked a bit silly.

  Like oversized roe deer.

  "The meat must be delicious!"

  Li Meng grinned, a fsh of greed in his eyes.

  Though tempted to eat venison, Li Merained himself.

  He wasn't here to hunt but to solve the food problem.

  Large-scale farming of groundhogs and wild boars wasn't realistic.

  Because this world also had diseases and viruses.

  Maybe magic could cure viruses and diseases.

  But the throribe didn't have that capability right now.

  Mass farming could lead to mass deaths.

  So, proteg the forest's ecology was very necessary.

  Different prey had different breeding seasons.

  As long as hunting rohibited during breeding seasons, the popution of a species could be maintained.

  Preventing a species' numbers from drastically deing due to overhunting.

  Aually beiinct without a trace.

  Goblin hunting was somewhat of a relentless pursuit.

  After leaving the throribe, Li Meng headed east.

  What he saw and heard along the way was quite shog.

  Within a twenty-kilometer radius of the throribe, the forest had bee a dead zone.

  Though he found some on groundhogs and forest rabbits, their numbers were very sparse.

  If the endless hunting tinued.

  One day, the creatures in the Goblin Forest would be eaten to extin by the Goblins.

  To ehe Goblins had an inexhaustible supply of food.

  Proteg the forest's ecological enviro was extremely necessary.
