"Master, the... the rotation period is almost here."
In a month, the rotation period would arrive.
Bai Ling was reminding her master that time was running out.
Li Meng, striding to the main bed, did not bully Bai Ling.
He climbed onto the bed, turned over, and fell asleep beside Bai Ling.
Watching her master sleeping soundly beside her, Bai Ling let out a sigh of relief.
The pressure from the goblin before her was growing more intense.
"Bai Ling, you know about the swamp crocodile king, right?"
Li Meng, with his eyes closed, suddenly asked.
Bai Ling looked down at her master beside her and nodded slightly.
"The swamp crocodile king is the sacrificial beast we worship. It's inherently ferocious and difficult to communicate with. I promised it various conditions before it agreed to protect the northern swamp. Once high-level Magical Beasts invade, it will fight!"
Bai Ling's answer made Li Meng's expression change slightly.
"So that's how it is!"
The northern swamp is the territory of the swamp crocodile king.
Logically, there shouldn't be any space for Lizardmen to live.
Yet the swamp crocodile king coexisted with the Lizardmen.
Although both sides were still in a predator-prey relationship.
The swamp crocodile king did not actively attack the Lizardmen's tribe.
Li Meng opened his eyes and turned to look at the curvaceous Bai Ling beside him.
"Not long ago, I encountered it. It's now my little brother, named 'Yue'e'!"
"That's... that's impossible!"
Bai Ling's exclamation suddenly echoed in the wooden house.
She looked at her master beside her in disbelief.
Seeing Bai Ling's slight loss of composure, Li Meng grinned.
"Nothing is impossible; it's the truth!"
Bai Ling hesitated, her expression shifting.
Though she said it was impossible, Bai Ling still believed it in her heart.
Because the goblin beside her had no reason to deceive her.
The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.
It served no purpose.
"Bai Ling, do you think the Black Mountain tribe will launch a large-scale invasion of the northern swamp?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's face turned pale.
Her voluptuous body trembled, and she seemed on the verge of collapse.
Bai Ling appeared somewhat panicked, lowering her head, not daring to meet Li Meng's gaze.
Grinning, Li Meng lay flat on the bed.
His hands rested behind his head.
"I told you, I'm a clever goblin, I know everything!"
"You must be curious why I led those male Lizardmen to the northern swamp two months ago."
Bai Ling's body trembled, and she stared intently at her master.
A hint of fear flashed in her eyes.
She feared hearing news from the goblin beside her that would shatter her.
"They're all alive!"
Seeing Bai Ling's expression, Li Meng knew what she was thinking.
Li Meng recalled that night.
The night the male Lizardmen of the White Scale tribe were hunted to extinction.
That night, Bai Ling showed him despair on a Lizardman's face.
One must know that a Lizardman's face is relatively smooth.
But discerning changes in expression is still quite difficult.
"Whoo!"
Bai Ling took a deep breath.
She weakly supported herself on the bed, panting heavily.
The intense emotional change left her body limp.
She had been truly frightened just now.
"I built a wooden fortress in the northern swamp. The Lizardmen from the Black Scale tribe, Gray Scale tribe, and White Scale tribe have all been relocated to the wooden fortress. This is what I've been doing for the past two months."
Bai Ling didn't react much to this news.
Bai Ling sat up straight.
She leaned slightly forward, massaging Li Meng's legs with her hands.
Bai Ling's sudden action made Li Meng grin with pleasure.
After running around all day, his legs were indeed a bit sore.
With Bai Ling's soothing touch, the soreness and numbness felt incredibly comfortable.
"Since the master has already subdued the swamp crocodile king, there's no need to worry about the threat from the Black Mountain tribe!"
Bai Ling knew better than anyone the power of the swamp crocodile king.
If the swamp crocodile king was willing to accept the master's command.
Unless the Black Mountain tribe attacked with their entire tribe, they wouldn't be able to do anything about the swamp crocodile king.
"Does the Black Mountain tribe have any strong warriors?"
Bai Ling shook her head lightly.
"I'm not sure. The White Scale tribe hasn't had contact with the Black Mountain tribe for a long time!"
Since Bai Ling said she didn't know, Li Meng didn't ask further.
Whether it was true or not didn't matter.
What mattered was that Li Meng already knew the outcome.
If the Black Mountain tribe had strong warriors, they wouldn't have been forced to summon the Barbarian God "Aqua."
If the invading Black Mountain tribe army had strong warriors, they wouldn't have fled with Bai Ling in such a hurry.
Even if there were strong warriors, their strength wouldn't change the course of a war.
Time passed little by little, day by day.
In the following days, Li Meng didn't go anywhere.
He stayed honestly in the tribe.
Occasionally, he would visit the carpentry workshop to teach Gobu Da more carpentry knowledge.
He also visited the Iron Cave a few times.
Gobu Ge needed to quickly master the knowledge of smelting high-carbon and low-carbon steel.
Without the Lizardmen laborers, the iron smelting efficiency in the Iron Cave was somewhat affected.
Gobu Ge had to assign his underlings to mine and chop wood to make charcoal.
It wasn't until half a month later that Gobu Di and Gobu Shi arrived at the tribe one after another.
It was another new day, and the time had reached the morning.
The tribe was bustling, with goblins shouting chaotically.
Nearly two thousand goblins gathered outside the throne cave.
A dense mass of green figures spread across a large area of the forest.
In the ranks, there were not only goblins but also female Lizardmen.
A year had passed, and only thirteen female Lizardmen had died.
The cause of death couldn't be said to be unrelated to the goblins, but it wasn't entirely their fault either.
Eleven of them died from illness, and there was a reason for their deaths.
Due to continuous pregnancies, their bodies were worn out.
This was related to the food provided by the goblins.
The main diet of Lizardmen is fish.
Only fish from the water can provide the nutrients Lizardmen need to survive.
Just eating Magical Beast meat couldn't meet their nutritional needs.
Over time, they fell ill.
One of the remaining two was drowned.
She accidentally fell and hit her head on a rock while bathing in the river.
She passed out immediately and was swept away by the river.
By the time the goblins caught up, she had already drowned.
The last female Lizardman was crushed to death by a falling boulder in the Iron Cave.
Standing at the entrance, Li Meng waved his hand.
"Move out!"
Li Meng shouted, his voice thunderous.
In an instant, the tribe echoed with the rumble of footsteps.
A dense crowd of goblins swarmed around the Lizardmen, heading west.
At a glance, it was a forest of long spears, with figures surging.
"Bai Ling, go now. The Lizardmen in the northern swamp need your leadership!"
Bai Ling silently walked forward behind Li Meng.
The goblins waiting outside hurriedly followed, surrounding her as they joined the main force.
Watching the goblin underlings moving away from the tribe, Li Meng grinned.
"With this, it's time to resolve the adventurer incident!"
Once Gobu Di and Gobu Shi reached the wooden fortress in the northern swamp.
The total garrison at the wooden fortress would reach four thousand.
With Yue'e assisting from the side, it would be absolutely foolproof.
"System, start the simulated life!"
Li Meng spread his arms wide and took a deep breath.
He believed that the future had already changed.
Ever since he led the goblin underlings to the northern swamp, the future had already shifted.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have encountered Yue'e.
