Chapter 73: Great Construction
Send a goblin somewhere, and it will go.
But it's hard to say when it will arrive.
Various things along the way will delay its time to reach the destination.
"Boss, boss, Gobu Yi is back!"
At this moment, a goblin ran over in a hurry.
"Oh, finally back!"
The Wooden Stockade Stronghold was located north of the central region of the Northern Marshlands.
It was closer to the Black Scales Tribe and farther from the Gray Scales Tribe.
It was normal for Gobu Yi to return later than Gobu Zhang.
Meanwhile, in the depths of the marshes southwest of the small island.
A large group of figures were approaching the small island where the Wooden Stockade Stronghold was located under the scorching sun.
"What are the goblins doing?"
"Seems like they're building a new tribe!"
"Can goblins survive in the marshlands?"
"Not sure, the damp environment of the marshes might be too much for them."
From far away, the Lizardmen saw the wooden structures on the island.
Although the scale was not very large, the construction scene was astonishing.
From afar, one could see goblins and Lizardmen laboring.
"Looks like people from the Gray Scales Tribe!"
The characteristics of Lizardmen from the three tribes were quite obvious.
The White Scales Tribe's Lizardmen had grayish-white scales.
The Gray Scales Tribe's Lizardmen had dark-gray scales.
The Black Scales Tribe's Lizardmen had dark-black scales.
"People from the Gray Scales Tribe also came?"
This discovery caused a commotion among the Gray Scales Tribe Lizardmen.
They were brought here by goblins, their fate uncertain.
The presence of Black Scales Tribe Lizardmen at least proved they were safe.
Many Lizardmen who were anxious and fearful relaxed their tense expressions after receiving this news.
Half an hour later, a mighty procession landed from the western shore.
"Gobu Yi, you're too slow, I've been back for a long time!"
As soon as it went ashore, Gobu Yi saw the fellow it least wanted to see.
It was Gobu Zhang, a big goblin walking over with a mocking grin.
"Hmph, I was far, you were near, what's there to be proud of."
Gobu Yi snorted coldly, ignoring Gobu Zhang.
It looked toward the flat island in the distance.
"The boss is over there!"
Gobu Zhang grinned, shifting its body slightly to the side.
It did so deliberately to block the direction where the boss was.
Just so Gobu Yi couldn't find the boss.
Now that Gobu Zhang moved aside, Gobu Yi immediately spotted the boss.
Seeing this, Gobu Yi glared at Gobu Zhang.
It quickly ran toward the direction of the boss.
"Boss, boss, I'm back!"
Gobu Yi ran up to the boss with a fawning expression.
"All brought back?"
Li Meng's gaze turned to the Lizardmen troops not far away.
Gobu Yi grinned and nodded.
"Not one less, all the Gray Scales Tribe Lizardmen have been brought over!"
Li Meng nodded with satisfaction.
"Very good, well done!"
It seemed that Gobu Yi's operation went very smoothly.
After all, the Lizardmen left behind in the Black Scales Tribe had never seen goblins.
Their resistance was inevitable.
But the Gray Scales Tribe was different.
Back then, the Gray Scales Tribe surrendered only after being attacked by the goblins.
The Lizardmen left behind in the Gray Scales Tribe had all seen goblins.
They had also witnessed the goblins' strength.
So they wouldn't easily resist.
With Gobu Yi bringing back the Gray Scales Tribe Lizardmen.
In the following days, the small island where the Wooden Stockade Stronghold was located became even more bustling.
Once the population grew, the demand for food increased dramatically.
Although goblins could eat once and not be hungry for three days.
Lizardmen could not do that.
To meet the food needs of more than two thousand people.
The Lizardmen and goblins split into two groups.
Male Lizardmen were responsible for building the Wooden Stockade Stronghold.
Two-thirds of the goblins and two-thirds of the female Lizardmen went out to hunt.
The remaining goblins stayed behind to guard the Wooden Stockade Stronghold.
The remaining female Lizardmen were responsible for looking after the Lizardmen younglings.
Under Li Meng's command, everything proceeded in an orderly fashion.
Time passed bit by bit, day after day.
Another new day, morning.
"It's off, it's off, yes, that's the position!"
On the northern shore of the small island, Li Meng was directing Lizardmen to build wooden walls.
The fact that this goblin warrior could communicate with Lizardmen was no longer surprising to them.
Being able to communicate was not a bad thing.
With communication, they knew what they should do.
"Boss, boss!"
At this moment, a goblin ran over from afar.
It ran while shouting loudly.
Its loud cries attracted the attention of many Lizardmen.
After a while, the goblin, panting heavily, ran up to Li Meng.
"Boss, it's bad, we're in trouble!"
"Trouble? What happened?"
Li Meng lowered his head and looked at the goblin underling who had run to his side.
Facing the boss's gaze, the panting goblin shrank its neck.
It instinctively took a step back.
"It's the Swamp Crocodile King, that guy is really strong, we can't beat it!"
Swamp Crocodile King?
Li Meng's eyes lit up, becoming interested.
"Let's go, take a look!"
Li Meng grabbed the goblin underling by the back of its neck.
Like lifting a chick, he held the goblin underling in his hand.
Li Meng turned and dashed out, sprinting madly on the island.
His speed was so fast, like a gust of wind passing by.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the distance.
"Boss, boss, my…my head hurts!"
Amid the goblin's wailing.
Approaching the water's edge, Li Meng leaped up and rushed toward the water's surface.
He crossed dozens of meters before landing heavily on the water's surface.
As soon as he landed, the water surface instantly froze.
On the water's surface, Li Meng continued to sprint.
His speed was so fast that the ice path on the water's surface spread northward at a speed visible to the naked eye.
This scene was watched by the goblins on the small island.
"The boss is too amazing!"
On the island, the goblins let out bursts of exclamation.
"Isn't that so!"
A goblin excitedly slapped the shoulder of its same-kind beside it.
Because it used too much force, the slapped goblin fell flat on the ground.
"Damn it, did you hit me?"
"I…I didn't, I just patted you."
"You hit me!"
"I didn't!"
"You did, Gobu Diao, you're looking for death!"
The goblin that got up leaped at the other, knocking it to the ground.
"No, I didn't, you're the one looking for death!"
The two goblins started wrestling on the ground.
This attracted the attention of the nearby goblins.
They all gathered around to watch the fun.
Three hours later, near the edge of a certain water area.
"The boss is here, the boss is here!"
From afar, Li Meng saw a group of goblins on a small island.
The small island wasn't large, about two hundred square meters.
Its highest point was no more than one meter above the water surface.
Seeing the boss coming, the goblins on the small island let out cheers.
Seeing this, Li Meng ran toward the small island.
When he was still more than fifty meters away from the small island.
Li Meng jumped up, soared into the sky.
Like a grasshopper, he landed on the small island with a "thump."
