Chapter 142: Ghost Beastman Reappearance

Chapter 142: Ghost Beastman Reappearance

"Boss, boss, I like that white female."

"Yeah, yeah, I like her too. She smells really good."

"Her meat must be delicious!"

"Boss, boss, can we eat her?"

In the tribe, Li Meng and a group of Lizardmen were walking toward the eastern gate.

The little Goblins on Li Meng were noisily shouting.

They were extremely rowdy and loud.

The Lizardman elders couldn't understand what the little Goblins were saying.

But Bai Ling could.

The trace of maternal tenderness in Bai Ling's gaze completely disappeared.

"You can't eat her; she is your mother!"

"Mother? Boss, what's a mother? Can we eat it?"

"No! Shut up, all of you. If anyone makes another noise, I'll eat them instead."

The little Goblins behind Li Meng instantly fell silent.

They stared curiously and greedily at the white Lizardman following their boss.

She smelled so good!

At the Yue Clan tribe's eastern gate.

"Bai Ling, I'm leaving!"

Near the water's edge, Li Meng waved his hand back.

His figure flashed, and he ran straight into the water.

Where he passed, a long path of ice remained on the water's surface.

"Boss, I'm about to fall!"

"Boss, boss!"

"Shut up! If you fall, go feed the fish."

Amid Li Meng's scolding voice.

In the blink of an eye, Li Meng and the little Goblins disappeared on the water's surface.

On the shore, Bai Ling and the group of Lizardman elders watched their boss leave.

"Chief!"

Behind Bai Ling, Gray Scales hesitated to speak.

Bai Ling raised a hand to stop Gray Scales from continuing.

"From now on, our master is not the Goblins, but the boss. Do you all understand?"

The Lizardman elders behind Bai Ling straightened their expressions.

They lowered their heads in unison.

"Yes, our master is the boss, not the Goblins!"

Perhaps it was self-deception.

But they had to find a reason to justify following the boss loyally.

---

Time flew by, and months passed unnoticed.

After returning to the Throne Tribe from the Yue Clan, Li Meng became busy.

He devoted himself fully to developing the tribe.

He began optimizing the carpentry workshop.

He created tools to improve efficiency.

He also strengthened and simplified the production process of the triple-bow ballista.

The blast furnace at the Iron Cavern was also upgraded.

Additionally, water-powered bellows were invented, freeing up a lot of labor.

The iron-making process was upgraded to steel-making.

Using the steel-pouring method, steel began to be mass-produced.

Charcoal production evolved from campfires to charcoal kilns.

Output increased dozens of times.

Unknowingly, half a year passed silently.

It was another new day in the afternoon.

"Goblins, do you dare to come out and fight!"

Suddenly, a thunderous roar echoed from the east of the Throne Tribe.

On the wasteland outside the eastern wooden wall.

A tall figure emerged from the forest.

It had dark brown skin.

Two horns protruded from its forehead.

It was about two meters tall and carried a large sword on its shoulder.

"Who is that?"

"Who's it talking about?"

"I don't know. Is it tasty?"

"It looks really strong!"

"What is it saying?"

"I don't know!"

The appearance of the Ghost Beastman stirred chatter among the Goblins on the wooden wall.

They curiously and greedily watched the Ghost Beastman stepping out of the forest.

"Shoot it! Shoot it!"

On the watchtower, Goblins excitedly prepared to fire.

Two-meter-long ballista bolts were loaded into the grooves.

"Goblins, come out, come out!"

The "Ghost Hand" shouted loudly from outside the forest.

Its voice was loud and piercing.

Its gaze swept across the green-skinned Goblins on the wooden wall.

A trace of disdain flashed in Ghost Hand's eyes.

Although there were many Goblin warriors.

They were all trash; it could squash them with a single finger.

"Shut up! You're so noisy!"

At that moment, a voice full of impatience suddenly sounded behind Ghost Hand.

This startled Ghost Hand greatly.

It jumped backward, leaping over twenty meters before landing firmly on the ground.

Once it landed, Ghost Hand looked warily at the green-skinned figure stepping out of the forest.

It hadn't noticed that this guy was right behind it?

At this moment, Ghost Hand was utterly shocked.

Looking at Ghost Hand in the distance, Li Meng grinned.

"You came at just the right time. I've been following you for a while now."

Gobu Da had already moved out of the Throne Tribe.

A new tribe was built about ten kilometers east.

That place also housed the new carpentry workshop.

When Ghost Hand passed by the forest near the carpentry workshop.

Li Meng, who had been preparing to leave, happened to spot it.

He then quietly followed the Ghost Beastman.

Only when they reached the Throne Tribe did Li Meng reveal himself.

"This… this is impossible!"

Ghost Hand's face changed dramatically as it stared at the Goblin with uncertainty.

For some reason, it actually felt oppressed by this Goblin.

It was a centurion of the demon race.

How could a mere Goblin warrior make it feel this kind of pressure?

Compared to their last battle, the Goblin seemed even stronger.

Li Meng pointed his large iron club at the Ghost Beastman.

"Ghost Beastman, I'm tired of your harassment. Let's fight! If I win, you'll leave the Goblin Forest and never step foot here again. If I lose, I will submit to you!"

If not for the fact that it wasn't time to provoke the demons yet.

Li Meng wouldn't have bothered talking so much.

He would've smashed it with his club already.

In the future timeline, he did kill the Ghost Beastman.

But that timeline clearly triggered a series of follow-up events.

Until he fully controlled the Goblin Forest, Li Meng wouldn't provoke the demons.

"Ha ha! Good, it's a deal!"

Ghost Hand laughed wildly, staring fiercely at Li Meng.

It straightened its body.

With a *thud*, its large sword stabbed into the ground.

"Then let's settle this in one move. Do you dare?"

Facing the Ghost Beastman's provocative gaze, Li Meng frowned.

He looked up and down at the Ghost Beastman.
