Although they didn't know what the boss wanted to do, they had to listen to him.
Gobu Qiang turned and pointed at a group of goblin underlings.
"You guys, go find so deadwood and bring it back!"
The goblin underlings looked at each other, then turned and ran into the depths of the forest.
"The rest of you, use bark to make ropes."
Bark ropes were sothing goblins commonly used.
"What are you standing around for? Hurry up and get moving!"
Under Gobu Qiang's scolding, the goblin underlings shivered.
They turned and dashed into the depths of the forest.
In the following ti, the goblins busied themselves on the shore.
From ti to ti, goblins would drag various sizes of deadwood out of the forest.
Soon, a large pile of deadwood appeared on the shore.

"Strange, how could goblins be ambushed by a human adventurer team?"
Standing on the riverbank, Li ng gazed at the turbulent river, lost in thought.
The simulation's explanation about human adventurers caught Li ng's attention.
The reason goblins could survive in a forest teeming with magical beasts was their keen sense of sll.
Even when upwind, they could determine if an area was safe by the lingering scent of magical beasts.
It was practically impossible for humans to ambush goblins.
Goblins could sense humans from afar.
"It seems I need to change my route!"
He couldn't follow the future path predicted by the simulation.
Otherwise, his life would be in danger.

"Boss, is this enough?"
Gobu Qiang approached with a fawning expression.
Li ng turned to look at the pile of deadwood on the riverbank.
"Not enough, keep collecting!"
There were over sixty goblins, so the raft had to be large.
The river was too rapid, so the raft couldn't be made too small.
Li ng walked toward the pile of deadwood.
"You, you, you, and you, use the bark ropes to tie these pieces of deadwood together, one after another, without overlapping!"
On the shore, Li ng began directing the goblin underlings to build the raft.
"You need to tie it like this to make it sturdy, got it?"
"Idiot, not like that, like this."
"Co here, I'll show you again."
The slow-witted goblins were very slow at learning new things.
This made Li ng feel quite exhausted.
Fortunately, Li ng was a patient person.
Under Li ng's repeated guidance, the goblins finally learned how to tie the deadwood.
Ti passed bit by bit, and as the sun set, the day ca to an end.
On the riverbank, a raft had begun to take shape.
The long night quietly passed as the goblins snored away.
Early the next morning, under Li ng's urging, the goblin underlings continued their work.
By the afternoon, the raft was finally completed.
"Great, is everyone here?"
Looking at the raft, about thirty ters long, Li ng nodded in satisfaction.
Although it looked a bit ugly, that didn't matter.
Li ng had only one requirent for the raft: that it floated.
Gobu Qiang glanced at the goblin underlings.
"Boss, everyone's here!"
"Then let's start crossing the river!"
Li ng stepped onto the raft.
"Co on, split up to the sides and push the raft into the river!"
To make it easier to push the heavy raft into the water, Li ng had chosen a gentle slope when building the raft.
The goblin underlings quickly split to the sides and grabbed the pull ropes.
"Pull hard!"
At Li ng's command, the goblin underlings exerted their strength.
The heavy raft trembled slightly and began to move slowly.
Faster and faster.
"Alright, everyone get on, quickly!"
Seeing the raft sliding into the water, Li ng hurriedly urged the goblin underlings.
The goblin underlings jumped onto the raft in a bit of a panic.
Fortunately, the process was smooth, and all the goblin underlings made it onto the raft.
With a splash, water sprayed everywhere.
The raft successfully plunged into the river.
The rushing river water propelled the raft downstream.
Li ng quickly picked up a pole as thick as an arm and thrust it into the water at the front of the raft.
The river was deep, reaching five ters to the riverbed.
In the turbulent river, Li ng struggled to steer the raft toward the opposite bank.
Drifting several kiloters along the river, the raft finally reached the opposite bank.
"Into the water!"
At a calr section of the river, Li ng shouted.
He dropped the pole and jumped into the river.
The goblin underlings quickly grabbed the pull ropes and entered the water.
The large raft was slowly pulled onto the shore bit by bit.
It wasn't until half of the raft was on the shore and couldn't be pulled any further that they stopped.
"Tie it securely, we'll need it on the way back!"
Not trusting anyone else, Li ng personally tied a bark rope to a large tree on the riverbank.
"Boss, you're so smart!"
Gobu Qiang had never thought of crossing the river this way.
It was much easier than swimming.
"Let's go, move out!"
The goblin hunting party quickly went ashore and entered the forest.
Unknowingly, the group had entered a valley.
"Boss, I sll sothing unpleasant, it's lizardn!"
As they walked, Gobu Qiang suddenly made a new discovery.
At the front, Gobu Qiang sniffed the air.
At this point, the group had only ventured less than three kiloters into the forest.
Li ng also caught a faint scent of decay.
"Are lizardn strong?"
Gobu Qiang looked around warily and nodded.
"Very strong, they like to live in swamps, and any creature entering the swamp will be killed by them."
"Sotis they leave the swamp to hunt magical beasts. Many hunting parties have encountered them. Although they don't like goblin at, they'll kill goblins on sight."
The simulation's predicted future didn't include encountering lizardn.
This indicated they wouldn't run into lizardn.
"Let's go around them!"
The rotten sll ca from the left front.
That direction should be the swamp area connected to the river.
The goblin team in the forest changed direction and headed northwest.
"Boss, boss, it's a Great Wind Rabbit!"
After walking a bit further, Gobu Da ran over to Li ng with a delighted expression.
"Boss, Great Wind Rabbits are delicious, let's catch it."
Gobu Da looked at the boss expectantly, drooling.
Great Wind Rabbit?
Li ng's expression changed slightly, his eyes brightening.
He had been waiting for a Great Wind Rabbit.
He hadn't expected to encounter one so soon.
Li ng nodded toward Gobu Qiang.
Gobu Qiang grinned, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth.
"Hunt, hunt, Great Wind Rabbit, Great Wind Rabbit!"
Though his words were disjointed, they made the goblin underlings' eyes light up.
All the goblins slowed their pace and spread out to the sides.
They had already caught the scent of the Great Wind Rabbit.
In the dim forest, dozens of goblins cautiously moved in a fan shape.
