Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 169 – Skugg
Within two years, the entire Goblin Forest would be part of the tribe's territory.
Since the demon tribe incident ended, Li Meng hadn't been idle.
He began to develop the textile industry.
Ghost Spider silk was a great material, and the fabric woven from it was comparable to silk.
The tribe could be wild, but Li Meng hoped it could also be more civilized.
At least in terms of clothing, they shouldn't be so primitive.
The idle female Lizardmen finally found a place to put their skills to use.
In the throne hall, a simple loom was creaking as it worked.
A female Lizardman was busily weaving fabric at the loom.
"Well, it's not bad, Gobu Da, you've done well!"
The boss's praise made Gobu Da smile ingratiatingly.
"Boss, what's this thing for?"
Gobu Da curiously looked at the loom with its spinning wheel.
"It's for weaving cloth, so you can wear comfortable clothes in the future."
Wearing only armor was actually uncomfortable.
The armor would rub against the skin.
Over time, it would injure the skin.
So Goblins would stuff some animal hides under the armor.
Although the hides could prevent the armor from chafing the skin, they were very uncomfortable and hot to wear.
"Boss, what are clothes?"
"Clothes are what you wear on your body, like animal hides, but lighter, thinner, and more comfortable."
Gobu Da's eyes lit up.
He memorized the word "clothes."
"Go, make a thousand more of these looms!"
Gobu Da did some quick mental math.
Ten looms make ten, ten times ten make a hundred.
A thousand would be ten times a hundred, right?
Gobu Da left with a long face.
This thing was too hard to make.
Some were so loosely assembled that they had to be remade.
"Vanessa, do you Elves have something similar?"
Vanessa, standing beside Li Meng, looked at the small loom in amazement.
She nodded, looking at Amon with admiration.
"Amon, you're so clever to make such a simple and small loom. The Elves have something similar, but not as compact and convenient. How did you come up with this?"
Li Meng grinned, pointing to his head.

"Who knows, just a bit of tinkering, and it was made."
Amon's answer made Vanessa smile knowingly.
She knew Amon was just brushing her off.
But there was no need to delve into such matters.
"Alright, put this thing away and let the queens play with it when they're bored."
Hearing this, the female Lizardman quickly stopped weaving.
She hurriedly left with the loom.
Stretching lazily, Li Meng strode outside.
Standing outside the door, Li Meng basked in the scorching sunlight.
"Vanessa, I'm going to the Ogre Mountains, do you want to come with me?"
Although in the future line he hadn't gone to the Ogre Mountains, Benben hadn't returned for a year, and Li Meng couldn't wait any longer.
He had to go to the Ogre Mountains to find out what was happening.
Perhaps Benben was in danger, waiting for him to rescue him.
Vanessa walked out from the door behind Li Meng.
"Let's go together, the queens can manage things here."
The queens in the Lizardman tribe had significant status.
They were either elder's companions or elder's relatives.
Their status allowed them to manage the female Lizardmen of the throne tribe well.
"Alright, we'll set off tomorrow!"
Time passed little by little, and a day quickly went by.
Early the next morning, Li Meng left the throne tribe with Vanessa.
The two headed north, towards the direction of the Ogre Mountains.
------
In the afternoon, amidst the continuous mountains.
In a valley, two figures, one large and one small, could be seen running.
The larger one had green skin, tall and strong.
The smaller one appeared tall and agile.
The two figures were Li Meng and Vanessa.
After entering the Ogre Mountains, they traversed mountains and ridges.
Both were strong, and the steep terrain was no obstacle for them.
"Woof woof!"
At this moment, a barking sound like a dog's "woof woof" came from ahead.
The two stopped in unison.
They slowed their pace, approaching the source of the sound.
As they got closer, they hid behind a large rock.
"Amon, it seems to be Skuggs!"
The two peeked out from behind the rock.
In a nearby valley, there was a flat stone platform.
On the platform, two round, red little creatures were biting each other.
They looked like round meatballs, about half a meter in diameter.
They had two legs, running like dinosaurs.
Apart from their bodies, they had a huge mouth.
The two Skuggs sometimes pulled apart, sometimes collided together.

"Woof woof!"
At this moment, one of the Skuggs let out a roar.
It turned and kept ramming the stones at the edge of the platform.
After three consecutive hits, a strange scene occurred.
The Skugg seemed to be enraged.
Its entire body turned even redder.
Its round body swelled like a balloon.
With each hit, its body expanded.
From half a meter, it suddenly swelled to two meters.
The other Skugg was not to be outdone.
It also chose a large rock to ram against.
After a few hits, it also grew several times larger.
Seeing this, Li Meng's eyes lit up.
Isn't this the skill he had been dreaming of?
Li Meng revealed himself from behind the rock and walked out.
"Hey, woof woofs, come over here to the boss, come on!"
Li Meng clicked his tongue as if calling a puppy.
Li Meng's sudden appearance startled the Skuggs.
They all looked at Li Meng, who walked out from behind the rock.
What followed was anger and roaring.
The appearance of a third party made the Skuggs abandon their fight with each other.
The two two-meter-diameter Skuggs charged at Li Meng aggressively.
Seeing the Skuggs charging, Li Meng grinned.
"Good boys, come on, woof woofs!"
Li Meng walked forward with open arms.
Seeing this, Vanessa smiled knowingly.
How could mere Skuggs be a match for Amon?
A Skugg hopped closer to Li Meng.
It opened its mouth full of sharp teeth, biting down on Li Meng's body.
Li Meng's entire upper body was caught in the Skugg's mouth.
"Woof woof, your breath stinks!"
Caught in the Skugg's mouth, Li Meng covered his nose with a look of disgust.
The Skugg's teeth couldn't damage Li Meng at all.
His Iron Body skill increased the toughness of his skin.
Breaking through his defense wasn't easy.
Li Meng grabbed the Skugg's teeth with both hands.
He easily pried open the Skugg's mouth.
His right foot kicked out, striking the Skugg's belly.
"Awwooo!"
With a "boom," the Skugg flew into the air, howling.
