The other goblins didn't know what had happened.
But since the boss ran, they naturally followed suit.
Li Meng wasn't a fool; he knew exactly what was going on.
His action of touching the spider web must have alarmed the Ghost Spiders deep in the forest.
In the dim forest, dozens of goblins were sprinting wildly.
They only stopped after running several kilometers.
In the dim forest, Li Meng leaned against a big tree, panting heavily.
Looking down at the spider web in his hand, Li Meng's face showed a look of curiosity.
It was a bit sticky, but incredibly tough.
Glancing around, Li Meng walked towards a nearby puddle.
Kneeling by the puddle, Li Meng submerged the spider web in the water.
He scrubbed the spider web vigorously.
Soon, the stickiness of the web was washed away.
The once large mass of spider web turned into a bundle of transparent threads.
Li Meng straightened the threads, holding each end with his hands, and pulled hard.
The threads stretched a bit but did not break.
"What a treasure!"
The elasticity and toughness of the threads made Li Meng's eyes light up.
The spider web of the Ghost Spiders was simply the perfect material for making bowstrings.
With the bowstring, Li Meng had no problem using his knowledge to craft a simple crossbow.
If the goblins had crossbows as weapons, their combat power would definitely increase significantly.
"Boss, what are you doing?"
Gobu Qiang approached curiously.
"You'll find out soon enough!"
This small spider silk was the key to conquering this world.
Stolen story; please report.
He would use his earthly knowledge to bring the goblins into the Iron Age.
"Vala!"
At that moment, a sudden change erupted in the forest.
With a loud roar, a group of strong, tall figures charged out.
They rushed at the resting goblins, swinging large machetes at them.
The resting goblins were decapitated before they could react.
The sudden attack frightened the goblins immensely.
"It's the Lizardmen, it's the Lizardmen!"
Facing the nearly two-meter-tall Lizardmen covered in black scales, the goblins panicked and scattered.
The goblins tried to flee, but the Lizardmen were faster.
Their rusty machetes cut down one goblin after another.
Some goblins tried to resist, but the gap in combat power was too great.
Their sticks were shattered, and the machetes nearly cleaved their bodies in half.
A single kick from a Lizardman could send a goblin flying over ten meters.
There were only a dozen Lizardmen, yet they chased and slaughtered the goblins in the forest.
The sudden attack startled Li Meng and Gobu Qiang.
A Lizardman set its sights on the two of them.
Its golden pupils locked onto them as it charged with a machete in hand.
[Lizardman]
[Level: 22]
[Strength: 37]
[Defense: 31]
[Agility: 33]
[Magic: 5]
Li Meng glanced at the Lizardmen in the forest.
He noticed that none of them were below level 20.
They were all between levels 20 and 30.
"Hmph, I'm not afraid of you!"
Li Meng snatched the spiked club from Gobu Qiang, who was ready to fight, and charged forward.
Seeing the small goblin daring to confront it, the Lizardman flashed a mocking smile.
It grinned, leaped up, and swung its machete at Li Meng.
Li Meng didn't dodge, swinging the spiked club to meet the attack.
"Boom!"
The weapons clashed with a loud "boom."
The Lizardman felt a massive force transmitted through its machete.
Its wrist went numb, and the machete flew out of its hand.
"Die!"
Li Meng grinned at the incredulous Lizardman.
With his left hand, he struck the Lizardman's heart.
"Shh!"
The Lizardman's heart was pierced through.
The seemingly heavy Lizardman was lifted high by the small Li Meng.
Li Meng flung it aside, discarding the Lizardman.
In his hand was a still-beating heart.
Li Meng took a greedy bite of the warm heart in his hand.
"Ah, the heart of an intelligent creature is indeed delicious!"
Li Meng looked satisfied, his bloodstained mouth grinning savagely.
A nearby Lizardman noticed the situation and charged over, shouting.
"What's it saying? I don't understand!"
Li Meng tossed the heart aside and hurled the spiked club with force.
The club spun through the air, flying dozens of meters to hit the Lizardman's head accurately.
With a "boom," the Lizardman was sent flying.
The spiked club was also knocked away.
The fallen Lizardman convulsed on the ground.
Its head was twisted beyond recognition, and blood poured from its mouth and nose.
Li Meng ran towards the nearby machete.
Picking it up, he charged at the Lizardmen.
"Kill them, Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng!"
Seeing the boss instantly slay two Lizardmen, Gobu Qiang was excited.
He roared and shouted.
The fleeing goblins, seeing their boss's bravery, were invigorated.
"Gobu Meng, Gobu Meng!"
The goblins stopped running and charged at the Lizardmen with excitement.
"What are you looking at!"
Li Meng swiftly closed in on a Lizardman.
With a rusty machete in hand, he swung it wide at the Lizardman.
The Lizardman reacted quickly, blocking with its machete.
"Clang!"
A metallic clash rang out, sparks flying.
The immense force made the Lizardman's face change, sliding back several meters to dissipate the force.
After the block, Li Meng pressed forward, slashing down.
This time, the Lizardman wasn't so lucky.
Li Meng twisted his body, and the machete sliced through the Lizardman's chest.
The tall Lizardman was split in two, its upper body flying away.
Blood splattered everywhere, the pungent smell making Li Meng's whole body restless.
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Li Meng, eyes red, charged at the Lizardmen like a beast.
No technique, just brute force slashing.
One Lizardman after another was cut down by Li Meng.
Only then did the Lizardmen notice the anomaly that was Li Meng.
But they couldn't care about anything else.
Because the goblins, with their morale high, surrounded them from all sides.
Though strong, the Lizardmen couldn't fight off so many.
Some Lizardmen were already cut down by the goblins, beaten to death.
"La la la!"
Seeing the unfavorable situation, a Lizardman suddenly screamed.
The remaining five Lizardmen quickly turned and fled deeper into the forest.
The retreat of the Lizardmen boosted the goblins' morale.
They shouted and chased after them.
"Come back!"
Li Meng's loud shout stopped the goblin underlings from pursuing.
The shout intimidated the frenzied goblin underlings.
All the goblin underlings were too scared to move.
"Eat them all!"
Hearing the boss's words, the goblins' eyes lit up.
They eagerly rushed to the nearest corpses to feast.
For a while, the dim forest echoed with the sounds of chewing.
First, the Lizardmen's bodies, then their own kind's bodies.
