Although there were no horses in the tribe, they did have wild boars.

The structure of a carriage is relatively simple, but the wheels are the most challenging part.

While carriages aren't ideal for use in the forest, they're not entirely unusable either, as the forest isn't completely impenetrable.

Many areas are relatively flat, allowing carriages to pass through.

As the tribe's territory expands, building a road for quick travel becomes necessary.

Five days later, at the carpentry workshop.

"Making wheels is much harder than forging iron!"

Looking at the rough axle in his hand, Li Meng felt powerless.

To make wheels, you need some specialized tools.

Relying on a hammer and a wood carving knife is time-consuming, and the results are crude.

"Forget it, I'll study it properly when I get back."

Missing the airship because of researching carriage wheels would be a real loss.

Getting up, Li Meng hurriedly walked out.

In the afternoon, the tribe was bustling.

A large group of Goblins rushed into the carpentry workshop, panting as they carried out three ballistae.

Each ballista required more than twenty Goblins to transport.

Over seventy Goblins were moving three ballistae.

More than thirty Goblins were carrying bolts.

Over twenty Goblins were carrying spider silk ropes.

A team of over a hundred Goblins marched grandly southward.

"What is that?"

The commotion outside caught Bai Ling's attention.

Bai Ling pushed open the door of the throne cave and stepped out.

As soon as she walked out, she saw the grand Goblin procession heading away in the distance.

The items the Goblins were carrying piqued Bai Ling's curiosity.

She didn't know what those wooden things were.

But they looked heavy, requiring more than twenty Goblins to carry them together.

Benben was also in the team.

The master was sitting on its shoulder.

Seemingly noticing Bai Ling's gaze, Li Meng, sitting on Benben's shoulder, turned and waved at her.

Facing the master's gaze, Bai Ling, standing at the entrance of the throne cave, lowered her head slightly.

She turned and went back into the wooden house, closing the door behind her.

Seeing this, Li Meng grinned.

The team continued southward, leaving the tribe in grand fashion.

Half an hour later, the river was bustling.

"It's slippery, the water's coming up!"

"Steady, don't push over here!"

On the ice path connecting the two banks, Goblins carefully carried the ballistae.

The immense weight caused the ice path to sink slightly.

River water surged onto the ice path.

This made the Goblins on the ice path wobble.

The commotion lasted a long time.

The Goblin team on the ice path moved forward like turtles.

Fortunately, the process was without incident.

It took over half an hour for the Goblin team to reach the southern bank.

In the following time, the Goblin team continued southward.

They traveled by day, hunted in the first half of the night, and rested in the latter half.

It took them more than half a month to reach the forest near the Goblin lair.

By noon, at the Goblin lair.

"Boss, boss!"

A Goblin hurriedly crawled into the cave.

It stumbled and slid to its knees at Gobu Tian's feet.

Gobu Tian, who was gnawing on a big pig head under the stone platform, looked down at the tiny Goblin at his feet and wiped the blood from his mouth.

He grinned and reached out to grab the Goblin.

The Goblin let out a terrified scream.

"The boss's boss is here!"

Gobu Tian's expression changed.

He quickly withdrew his hand, stood up, and hurriedly walked out.

Watching the boss leave, the Goblin looked relieved.

It had almost become the boss's lunch.

"Boss, boss!"

Before it could run out of the cave, Gobu Tian's roar echoed from the cave entrance.

Gobu Tian scurried out of the darkness at the cave entrance.

As soon as he rushed out, he stopped.

Seeing the Goblins panting as they emerged from the forest, Gobu Tian was full of questions.

What were those things the Goblins were carrying on their shoulders?

"Ogre?"

At that moment, a massive figure emerged from the forest.

Though it was clad in iron armor, Gobu Tian recognized Benben at first glance.

Gobu Tian let out a scream of terror.

That was an Ogre, the most terrifying creature in the Goblin Forest.

"Is that... the boss?"

On the Ogre's shoulder, Gobu Tian saw a familiar figure.

It was the boss, the one who had killed Gobu Ba not long ago.

The boss was sitting on the Ogre's shoulder.

Seeing this, Gobu Tian was filled with fervor.

The boss was truly amazing, having tamed an Ogre.

Gobu Tian quickly ran over.

"Boss, what are you doing?"

Standing in front of Benben, Gobu Tian asked obsequiously.

His large face was almost scrunched up.

Li Meng leaped down from Benben's shoulder.

"Gobu Tian, from now on, have some Goblins spread around the Goblin lair, keeping an eye on the sky. Report to me immediately if there's any movement. I'll be staying here in the coming days."

Though he didn't know what the boss was planning, Gobu Tian didn't ask further.

He quickly turned and scurried back to the cave.

And so, Li Meng began to wait for a chance, anticipating the appearance of the airship.

To expand the observable range, he could only increase manpower as much as possible.

Hundreds of Goblins, under Li Meng's orders, spread throughout the forest around the Goblin lair.

They climbed trees and mountains, watching the surrounding airspace.

Time passed quietly as Li Meng waited day by day.

One afternoon.

In the forest northwest of the Goblin lair.

The mountain where the Goblin lair was located was a solitary peak.

Surrounded by undulating forested land.

Only more than ten kilometers away could the rolling mountains be seen.

In the dim forest, several Goblins were perched on treetops, watching the sky.

"What are we supposed to be watching for, birds?"

"I don't know, just watch!"

"Yeah, yeah, staying here is much more comfortable than hunting."

"I want to go to the peak, you can see further from there."

"You idiot, it's cold on the peak at night, nowhere near as comfortable as here!"

"What do you know, if I spot something first, the boss might reward me with mating rights."

"You're just trash. Talk about mating rights when you become a Big Goblin."

"Yeah, the offspring of little trash is still little trash, haha!"

The Goblins on the surrounding treetops burst into laughter.

The "wahaha" laughter filled the dim forest with a cheerful atmosphere.

"Hmph, when I evolve into a Big Goblin, you'll all have to lick my boots."

"You? If you can evolve into a Big Goblin, I'll lick!"

Another round of laughter erupted on the treetops.

"Look, what's that?"

At that moment, a Goblin on the outskirts suddenly shouted.

Perched on the treetop, it pointed towards the northwest.
