In no time, Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao hurried over.

From a distance, they saw the boss standing outside the entrance of the throne cave.

The boss's tall and strong figure made the two Big Goblins exchange glances.

The boss had actually evolved into a Goblin Soldier?

Gobu Mo quickly sped up his pace.

Gobu Gao, on the other hand, ran with little hops, overtaking Gobu Mo.

"Boss, that's great! You've finally advanced to a Goblin Soldier!"

Gobu Gao ran up to Li Meng with a fawning expression.

Gobu Mo, a few steps behind, glared at Gobu Gao.

"Boss, is there something you need us for?"

Gobu Mo also wore a flattering expression.

However, he was smarter than Gobu Gao and got straight to the point.

"Follow me!"

Li Meng left the entrance of the throne cave and headed deeper into the forest.

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao quickly followed.

Li Meng ventured deep into the forest.

He didn't stop until he was several hundred meters away from the tribe.

"Gobu Mo, Gobu Gao, your task from now on is to build a wooden wall to enclose the tribe!"

"Right now, what you need to do is clear a buffer zone around the tribe."

Li Meng planted the Big Iron Rod into the ground.

One end of the rod sank deeply into the soft soil.

Then he forcefully drew a large circle.

"The buffer zone must be at least five hundred meters wide!"

Li Meng swung the Big Iron Rod and pointed at the large trees beside him.

"About the width of ten large trees, got it?"

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao looked up at the large trees beside them.

How tall were ten large trees?

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"Boss, how much is ten trees?"

Li Meng rolled his eyes at Gobu Mo's question.

Alright, it seems I'll have to teach these Goblin underlings how to count.

They need to know what 1, 2, 3, 4 means.

"First, organize the Goblins to cut down the trees. I'll guide you on-site!"

"There are axes and saws in the warehouse, go get them!"

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao nodded.

Then they turned and hurried away.

In the forest, Li Meng watched the backs of the two Big Goblin underlings as they left.

He didn't look away until they disappeared from sight.

Scanning the surrounding forest, Li Meng grinned.

"If attacking doesn't work, then let's defend!"

Previously, Li Meng thought there was no need to build a wooden wall.

He believed that instead of passive defense, it was better to take the initiative to attack.

Although a wooden wall could effectively protect the tribe, it would also bring some trouble.

Once Goblins fell into a passive defense, failure wouldn't be far off.

Now, Li Meng had changed his mindset.

Why choose?

Li Meng wanted both defense and offense.

Soon, the tribe was bustling.

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao led a large group of Goblin underlings in a grand march towards this direction.

Some Goblins carried axes, while others carried saws.

At a glance, the dense green-skinned figures numbered no less than five hundred.

Before long, the sound of logging echoed from deep within the forest.

The rhythmic sounds resonated through the forest depths.

Occasionally, there was the "crash" of trees falling.

In the following days, Li Meng began teaching the Goblin underlings some basic counting.

By the fifth day, the forest had undergone a significant transformation.

A blank area appeared several hundred meters away from the tribe in the forest.

The blank area was five hundred meters wide and six hundred meters long.

The bare ground was covered with wooden stakes, and layers of branches and leaves were piled up.

Numerous logs were scattered haphazardly across the ground.

The blank area wasn't straight; it was curved.

Soon, the blank area would encircle the tribe.

"How many is this?"

In a place where logs were piled in the blank area.

Li Meng held three wooden sticks in his hand.

Gobu Mo, Gobu Gao, and a group of Big Goblins obediently sat on the ground.

Some members of the hunting party, upon returning, were asked by Li Meng to join the wooden wall construction team.

Now, the number of Goblins building the wooden wall exceeded a thousand.

Li Meng pointed at Gobu Gao.

The boss's question made the Big Goblins shrink their necks.

Their gazes were somewhat evasive.

"Gobu Gao, you answer!"

Gobu Gao stood up, scratched his head, and looked down at his hands.

His eyes lit up, and Gobu Gao said a number.

"3, it's 3!"

Li Meng nodded in satisfaction.

"Very good, that's correct!"

Gobu Gao grinned, very pleased.

"And what does 3 mean?"

Li Meng continued to question Gobu Gao.

Gobu Gao glanced at the ground.

He bent down and picked up three small stones.

"One stone, two stones, three stones!"

Gobu Gao's answer made Li Meng very satisfied.

After his teaching over the past few days, the Goblin underlings finally understood the meaning of numbers 1-10.

Numbers are the foundation of intelligence.

Although this couldn't change the fact that Goblins were foolish.

But in the future, he could command the Goblin underlings more effectively.

"Very good, Gobu Mo, Gobu Gao, you know how to build the wooden wall now, right?"

A small section of the wooden wall had already been built at the edge of the blank area not far away.

The wooden wall had two layers, with a hollow center.

It was about 7 meters high and 5 meters wide, with a 15-meter-high watchtower built every fifty meters.

The trees in the forest were very tall, with an average height of about 70 meters.

The wooden wall could be built higher.

But the workload for anything over seven meters was too much.

Building it was also more troublesome.

After all, erecting a seven-meter-high log wasn't an easy task.

Fortunately, the number of Big Goblins in the tribe was considerable.

With them around, handling seven-meter-long logs wasn't a problem.

Gobu Mo and Gobu Gao quickly nodded.

"Very good, I'll leave this to you. Work hard and don't slack off!"

Faced with the boss's gaze, the Big Goblins shrank their necks.

Without saying anything more, Li Meng tossed aside the wooden sticks in his hand.

Then he turned and walked towards the direction of the tribe.

"Go find Gobu Yi, Gobu Zhang, Gobu Sheng, and have them come see me!"

As he walked, Li Meng waved to the Goblin underlings following him.

One of the Goblins quickly ran towards the tribe.

Gobu Yi, Gobu Zhang, and Gobu Sheng had always stayed in the tribe.

Their task was to guard the tribe.

By afternoon, the sun was blazing.

When Li Meng returned to the throne cave, the wooden house was empty.

At this time, the female Lizardmen had all gone to the Iron Cave for fun.

"Why aren't Goblins omnivorous creatures?"

Smelling the strong milky aroma in the house, Li Meng couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The milky aroma was indeed pleasant, but unfortunately, he couldn't drink it.

It's not that he couldn't drink it, but it tasted strange.

"Could it be that plain milk just doesn't taste good?"

When he was human, Li Meng had heard that human milk didn't taste good.

But he had never tried it himself.

After all, a grown man only had the chance to taste it after getting married and having children.
