"Captain, how do you think the airship crashed?"

Odyssey took the crystal from Rachel's hand, looking at her with curiosity.

"Rachel, did you discover something?"

Perhaps Rachel found something in the cabin.

Rachel turned to look at the wreckage of the airship.

"There are many holes in the wreckage, clearly pierced by some sharp weapon."

A sharp weapon pierced the hull?

Rachel's words made the four of them scrutinize the airship wreckage.

Indeed, there were many places on the wreckage that had been pierced.

"A sharp weapon? Could the airship have encountered some powerful flying magical beast?"

Patience thought that some flying magical beasts could also cause such holes.

"Confirming the airship's crash completes our task, let's go!"

The result of the airship crash had lost its meaning for further investigation.

Several months had passed.

In a place like the Goblin Forest, all traces would be erased.

The people on the ship had long been devoured by the magical beasts in the forest, leaving not even bones behind.

Next, Odyssey led his companions back into the depths of the forest from where they came.

"Good, good, hurry up and leave, don't come back again, next time you won't be able to leave!"

At this moment, Li Meng was secretly watching the adventurer squad from deep within the forest.

Seeing the adventurer squad leave, Li Meng, hiding in the trees, grinned.

If he weren't afraid of attracting those two strong humans, he wouldn't have let the adventurer squad leave so easily.

Now, Li Meng just wanted that adventurer squad to hurry up and scram.

So he could focus on dealing with the series of events that followed.

Thus, for the next two days, Li Meng kept a distant tail on the adventurer squad.

To avoid being discovered, he kept a very long distance.

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

On the morning of the third day, in the forest on the southern shore of the Goblin River.

Odyssey and his team pushed a small boat hidden in the woods into the water.

Standing on the shore, Rachel looked uncertainly into the depths of the forest.

"Rachel, what's wrong? Get on the boat!"

The four were already on the boat, waiting for Rachel.

"Coming!"

Rachel turned and hurriedly boarded the boat.

As the oars moved, the small boat gradually drifted downstream.

"Captain, it seems like something has been following us in the dark these past two days!"

Only when the small boat was far from the shore did Rachel take a deep breath.

Something was following them in the dark?

The four exchanged glances, only Odyssey had a thoughtful expression on his face.

Just as the small boat gradually disappeared on the river surface.

At the place where the five had entered the water, a strong green-skinned figure emerged from the forest.

Watching the direction the small boat left, Li Meng grinned menacingly.

"Great, those troublemakers have finally left."

Li Meng had already thought of a way to change things back.

As long as he sped up the timeline, he would have enough time to deal with any threat.

Before long, the figure on the shore had disappeared.

In the afternoon, at the Goblin Nest.

Li Meng hurriedly emerged from the forest and entered the cave.

"Boss, what about that group of adventurers?"

Seeing the boss return, Gobu Tian quickly approached.

Recalling the recent battle with the humans, Gobu Tian's face showed a greedy expression.

Human meat was so delicious.

Once tasted, it was unforgettable.

"They've already left, they're not to be messed with, even ten of you would be courting death."

Goblins were useless except for their numbers.

When he first arrived in this other world, Li Meng thought Gobu Ba was strong.

He should belong to the top combat power of this world.

Only now did he realize that what he thought was the top was just the starting point of this world's martial power.

Gobu Tian shrank his neck, giving a sheepish smile.

It had also watched the battle from afar that night.

The human adventurers were indeed very strong.

In just a moment, they had killed forty of its underlings.

"Gobu Tian, take all the magic crystals off the wall and send them to the throne cave."

Gobu Tian quickly nodded.

Although he didn't know what the boss wanted with those shiny things.

But Gobu Tian didn't ask more.

After all, those things on the wall were of no use.

"I have to go back, Gobu Tian, in a while, go stay at the throne tribe, the number of goblins here must be maintained at around two thousand."

The hunting territory controlled by the Goblin Nest was quite large.

Feeding two thousand goblins was no problem.

And now, the number of goblins in the Goblin Nest was less than seven hundred.

Gobu Tian nodded enthusiastically with excitement.

Li Meng didn't linger in the Goblin Nest and soon left.

A few hours later, before dark, on the southern shore of the Goblin River.

"Huh, it hasn't melted yet?"

When Li Meng emerged from the forest, he was surprised by the scene before him.

After so many days, the ice path was still there.

And showed no signs of melting.

Due to the water level dropping significantly in recent days.

The ice layer was suspended above the water.

The two shores became the only support points.

But even so, the ice path still hadn't collapsed.

"The skill upgrade is indeed powerful!"

No wonder it was a skill with a "king" in its name.

Grinning, Li Meng stepped onto the ice path and walked toward the opposite shore.

------

Northern Swamp.

Afternoon, at the wooden fortress.

With Gobu Di and Gobu Shi leading reinforcements to arrive.

The goblin forces stationed at the wooden fortress reached four thousand.

Plus around two thousand lizardmen.

The total population of the wooden fortress reached six thousand.

This made the wooden fortress become crowded.

The afternoon was originally the quietest time at the wooden fortress.

But just then, the goblins' "wah-wah" cries suddenly sounded on the southern wooden wall.

"Whoo!"

The deep war horn followed closely.

The sound of the horn made the wooden fortress erupt into chaos.

Like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil.

The entire wooden fortress boiled over.

A large number of goblins rushed out from the various wooden huts.

They cried out as they surged toward the southern wooden wall.

At this time, in the depths of the southern swamp.

In a relatively deep water area.

A large ripple appeared on the water surface.

Looking into the water, one could see fleeting black shadows.

At the boundary of the deep water area.

A large number of lizardmen emerged from the water.

They stood up from the water, wading forward.

In no time, the lizardmen on the shore appeared densely packed.

At a glance, the dark mass of lizardmen continued to emerge from the water.

Before long, a massive army appeared in the southern swamp of the wooden fortress.

Nearly five thousand lizardmen stretched across the area.

The water area of nearly a kilometer was filled with their figures.

Although they didn't have a neat formation, just standing there exuded an endless might.

"They've finally come!"

At this moment, on a watchtower on the southern wooden wall of the wooden fortress.

Gobu Di grinned menacingly, excitedly watching the overwhelming army of lizardmen outside.

It had been waiting for this day for a long, long time.

Today, it finally awaited the arrival of the lizardman army.
