"Gobu Qiang, you've done well. You have earhe right to reproduce. Go ahead!"

  In this pce, Gobu Qiang was the only Big Goblin.

  The higher the evolution level of a goblin, the faster its offspring grow.

  To rapidly increase the popution, Gobu Qiang's genes were indispensable.

  Gobu Qiang's face lit up with joy.

  He looked at the female groundhogs in the animal pen, drooling.

  "Boss, I'm... I'm going!"

  With a strange cry, Gobu Qiang eagerly rushed towards the animal pen.

  The oblin minions watched Gobu Qiaowards the pen with envy.

  Li Meng grinned and turned away leisurely.

  Though it was a bit hard to watch, Li Meng had gotteo it.

  After all, he wasirely a goblin.

  Goblins were humanoid, after all.

  For him to accept it, the terpart would have to be a humanoid female creature.

  "Everyone, follow me!"

  While Gobu Qiang was busy reprodug, Li Mehe goblin minions to start building the Breeding Room.

  pared to the animal pen, the Breeding Room o be retively more fortable.

  The forest winds were cold, and without a more enclosed enviro, it was easy to freeze to death.

  Due to a anpower, it took five days to build the Breeding Room.

  On the fifth day, a rge wooden hut appeared in the forest.

  The hut was made by stag and binding branches of various sizes.

  A rge tree served as the main load-bearing structure.

  It looked like a giant barrel.

  The roof and outer walls were covered with dry leaves to increase insution.

  "Finally, it's done!"

  Looking at the somewhat crude Breeding Room, Li Meng nodded in satisfa.

  sidering it was his first time building a wooden hut, this was quite an achievement.

  Though it was small, it was enough for now.

  More could be added as needed iure.

  Moreover, with some modifications, this wooden hut could bee a cozy home for the goblins.

  "Boss, boss!"

  At that moment, Gobu Qiang ran over.

  "What has you so excited?"

  Seeing Gobu Qiang's face full of excitement, Li Meng curiously asked.

  Gobu Qiang chuckled, puffing out his chest proudly.

  "Boss, it seems all three female groundhogs are pregnant."

  Li Meng's eyes lit up with i.

  "Let's go take a look!"

  Li Meng and Gobu Qiang then headed to the animal pen.

  Moments ter, they arrived outside the pen.

  Li Meng curiously observed the female groundhogs mung on leaves ihe pen.

  There were quite a few, at least a dozen.

  [Groundhog]

  [Level: 4]

  [Strength: 4]

  [Defense: 2]

  [Agility: 3]

  [Magic: 0]

  [Status: Pregnant]

  Among them, the bellies of three female groundhogs were noticeably rger.

  It had only been five days, yet their bellies were already so promi.

  If these three litters were born successfully, they could easily add over thirty goblins.

  "Take those three pregnant female groundhogs to the Breeding Room for proper care!"

  Gobu Qiang nodded aured to the minions behind him.

  More than a dozen goblins climbed over the pen walls and grabbed the female groundhogs by their ears.

  The groundhogs squealed and struggled as they were pulled out of the pen.

  "Also, take this ohis one, and this oo the Breeding Room!"

  Pregnant groundhogs exhibited abnormal states.

  The goblins grabbed four more female groundhogs by their ears ahe pen.

  "Gobu Qiang, is there enough food around here?"

  The biggest factor affeg the goblin popution was food.

  With suffit food supply, the goblin popution could explode to tens of thousands in just a few years.

  Gobu Qiang nodded.

  "Boss, there are many groundhog burrows, and their st is strong."

  Groundhogs were the most agical beasts in the forest.

  Iural world, their status was simir to that of mi Earth.

  But relying on groundhogs alone for enough food was unrealistic.

  As the tribe's popution grew, so would the demand for food.

  To obtain enough food, they would have to expand their hunting grounds.

  And expanding the hunting grounds would iably lead to enters with other tribes living in the Goblin Forest.

  The ultimate result would be war.

  In the depths of the Goblin Forest, battles between goblis were the most on.

  Many goblis took advantage of these battles to reduce their popution.

  This way, the popution and hunting grounds could reach a perfect bance.

  Although food wasn't a now, it would eventually bee the biggest challenge for the tribe's development.

  "Boss, boss!"

  At that moment, Gobu Da came running over excitedly.

  He looked at the female groundhogs in the pen with greedy eyes.

  Standing before Li Meng, Gobu Da patted his chest.

  "Boss, I've evolved into a Big Goblin!"

  Li Meng looked Gobu Da up and down.

  [Name: Gobu Da]

  [Species: Big Goblin]

  [Level: 10]

  [Strength: 14]

  [Defense: 15]

  [Agility: 17]

  [Magic: 3]

  Not only had his attributes doubled, but his physique had also beore robust.

  He had grown to 1.7 meters tall, looking quite powerful.

  Gobu Da's eyes were fixed on the female groundhogs in the pen, drooling.

  Seeing Gobu Da's eager expression, Li Meng chuckled.

  Reprodu was a natural instinct foblins.

  "Go ahead!"

  Li Meng patted Gobu Da's shoulder, granting him the right to mate.

  "Great!"

  With a cheer, Gobu Da eagerly leaped into the animal pen.

  Li Meng g Gobu Da, who was excitedly harassing the groundhogs, and smiled wryly before turning away.

  The tribe couldn't rely solely on Gobu Qiang's offspring.

  Otherwise, he, as the boss, would eventually be overthrown by his minions.

  The only solution was to reproduce his own offspring withiribe.

  Li Meng didn't mind having his own offspring.

  What he minded was the mating partner.

  Even if the partner wasn't human, it had to be a humanoid creature.

  Beside the animal pen, Gobu Qiang looked at Gobu Da, who was grunting aing his desires, with disdain.

  If he had known this guy could evolve into a Big Goblin, he would have eaten him long ago.

  "Hmph, I'll eat you sooner or ter!"

  A fsh of malice crossed his eyes as Gobu Qiang turned a.

  Gobu Da seemed to sense Gobu Qiang's murderous i.

  He looked puzzled at Gobu Qiang's departing figure.

  But he was quickly pulled back by his desires, fog on reprodug.

  ---

  The m, Li Meng started another busy day.

  The goblin minions were divided introups.

  One group went out hunting.

  Anroup stayed iribe to build huts.

  The st group followed him, the boss, to the northern barren mountains.

  In the northern forest of the tribe, seven goblins walked cautiously.

  As they walked, they she air.

  Their keen sense of smell allowed them to distinguish various sts.

  Suddenly, one of the goblins stopped.

  Its sudden halt caught the attention of the oblins.

  They all turheir gaze and stopped iracks.

  Li Meng crouched down and lifted a stone from the underbrush.
