Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 145 – Go to the Black Mountain tribe
Sure enough, it's only halfway!
Half the time, half the score!
"Upgrade the 'Limb Enhancement' skill level!"
[Consumes 50 points, 'Limb Enhancement' skill level +5]
"Killing the ghost beastman indeed attracts the demon army!"
Li Meng shook his head speechlessly.
The future path involving the ghost beastman had already reached a dead end.
Whether or not the ghost beastman was killed, the outcome remained the same.
The only difference was the timing of the demon army's appearance.
If the ghost beastman was allowed to leave,
they would likely lead the demon army to attack in a few months.
Killing the ghost beastman delayed the demon army's arrival by a year.
"What about the Ratmen tribe?"
Thinking of the Ratmen tribe, Li Meng, walking slowly through the forest, furrowed his brows.
The Ratmen tribe's activities were a thousand kilometers south.
At least five to six hundred kilometers away from the southern tribes.
Why would the Ratmen tribe attack the Goblin tribe from such a distance?
"Could the Ratmen tribe be the hidden big boss?"
Li Meng was startled by his own speculation.
It might really be the case.
The missing Barbarians in the Goblin Forest could have been the work of the Ratmen tribe.
After all, Ratmen like to dig tunnels.
Their base is underground.
It's hard to detect their movements on the surface.
Perhaps the Ratmen tribe had unknowingly taken control of most of the Goblin Forest.
The disappearance of high-level Magical Beasts in the Goblin Forest might also be their doing.
Without high-level Magical Beasts, the forest's animals would surely overpopulate.
And the Goblin Forest would become the Ratmen's pasture.
When the Ratmen tribe discovered a group of Goblins had unknowingly invaded their pasture,
they would naturally launch an attack to eliminate the intruders.
"The Goblin Forest is mine, mine!"
Li Meng's expression turned cold, his eyes filled with killing intent.
He quickened his pace through the forest.
A new future path had emerged.
The next step was to find a way to steer the future in a better direction.
Early the next morning, Li Meng hurriedly left the throne tribe.
In the morning, in the northern swamp.
Yue Clan, the chief's wooden house.
A group of Lizardman elders hurried to the chief's wooden house.
They sat cross-legged on animal skins, whispering to each other.

After half a year, the boss appeared again.
They wondered what the boss would bring them this time.
In the main seat, Li Meng sat cross-legged.
Bai Ling knelt quietly beside him.
In the wooden house, Li Meng's voice rang out.
"This time, I want you to go on a mission to the Black Mountain tribe!"
A mission to the Black Mountain tribe?
The boss's words left the Lizardman elders puzzled.
Bai Ling also showed a hint of surprise.
"Boss, do you want us to persuade the Black Mountain tribe to surrender?"
Li Meng nodded and then shook his head.
"Yes and no. If you can persuade them, great. If not, it's fine."
The boss's words left the Lizardman elders confused.
In the wooden house, Li Meng's voice continued.
"I received news that the Black Mountain tribe obtained a sacrificial disk from a mysterious force. If they rashly summon the Barbarian God, they might sacrifice their entire tribe. One of your goals is to inform the Black Mountain tribe of the sacrificial disk's dangers."
Saying this, Li Meng looked down at Bai Ling beside him.
"Bai Ling, your identity is special. You will lead the team this time. I will follow you secretly. If the Black Mountain tribe tries to detain you, I will let Yue'e unleash a massacre until she's exhausted!"
The Black Mountain tribe may have tens of thousands of people.
But they don't have any notable strong individuals.
After all, the swamp Lizardmen are not a powerful race.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be hiding in the Goblin Forest.
They are powerless against the King rank Magical Beast, the swamp crocodile king.
Even if Yue'e exhausts her magic, she can't kill all the swamp Lizardmen.
But Yue'e's presence is a deterrent.
"Also, tell the Black Mountain tribe that the reason the Temple Knights of the Papal State retreated last time was because I ambushed and captured the High Priest of the human temple. If they submit to me, I can resolve the threat from the Papal State for them!"
The Temple Knights of the Papal State attacked the Black Mountain tribe?
This news surprised the Lizardman elders in the wooden house.
Although they didn't know about the Papal State or the Temple Knights,
they were familiar with the human race.
Bai Ling was also shocked.
She didn't expect the boss to have done so much without her knowing.
This reminded Bai Ling of something from long ago.
The boss had asked her about the location of the Black Mountain tribe.
"Prepare for the journey in the afternoon. We depart tomorrow!"
And so, the Yue Clan began preparing for the journey the next day.
Li Meng didn't idle either, spending the afternoon with Yue'e.
In the shallow waters east of the Yue Clan.
Yue'e lay in the water, basking in the sun.
Her originally dark scales had turned a light red.
"Boss, the sun feels so nice!"
Yue'e squinted her eyes, lazy and content.
Li Meng also lay on Yue'e's back, basking in the sun.
"Yes, it feels very nice!"
The scorching sun hung high in the sky.
The prickling sensation all over his body made Li Meng squint contentedly.
"Boss, are humans tasty?"
"I don't know, I've never eaten one."
"Yue'e, haven't you eaten a human before?"
"No, the humans who fell into the water last time were wearing armor, I couldn't bite through."
The northern swamp is vast, so it's normal Yue'e hasn't seen any.
After all, humans wouldn't enter the dangerous swamp without reason.
And the northern swamp is quite deep into the Goblin Forest.
Although adventurers occasionally appear,
they don't venture deep into the swamp.
"There will be a chance. Let's try the taste of humans together then."
"Sure, sure, humans must be delicious!"
"Haha, let's hope human meat tastes good."
For a while, the water echoed with the croaks of crocodiles and the cries of Goblins.
Time flew by, and a day passed quickly.
Early the next morning, the Yue Clan was bustling.
A hundred-man team set out from the south gate, wading into the distance.
-----
Black Mountain Swamp.
Southern shore of Black Mountain, Black Mountain tribe.
By afternoon, the Black Mountain tribe basked in the sunlight as usual.
Time passed quickly, and unknowingly, nearly two years had passed since the human invasion.
Since moving to the Ancestral Tribe, the Black Mountain tribe hadn't relocated back.
All the outside tribes were abandoned.
Nearly thirty thousand Lizardmen crowded into the small Ancestral Tribe.
At this time, in the largest wooden house in the tribe.
"Chief, the waters near Black Mountain are unsuitable for living, the tribespeople are starving, we must relocate back!"
"No, humans could attack again at any time, we can't afford more losses."
"Staying in the Ancestral Tribe isn't a solution, the tribespeople will eventually scatter."
