Li ng hid behind a large tree, peering at the lake outside.
The lake remained bright.
The scorching sunlight shimred on the water's surface, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.
Various sizes of Water Slis were frolicking in the water.
They bounced around, appearing peaceful and leisurely.
"Yue'e, is it those things?"
Behind Li ng, Yue'e poked out her enormous head.
"Boss, so many slis, it's them!"
Li ng grinned and pointed towards the lake.
"Yue'e, charge!"
"Yes, Boss!"
Yue'e took giant strides towards the lake.
For a mont, the forest resounded with a rumbling noise.
The huge commotion caused the Water Slis in the lake to scatter like startled birds and beasts.
From the depths of the forest, a massive shadow erged.
Yue'e's gigantic body thundered out of the forest.
She plunged headfirst into the lake.
"Splash!"
A loud crash was heard, and water splashed everywhere.
Yue'e's enormous body was half-subrged, thrashing around.
"Boss, Boss, this is the taste!"
After thrashing for a while, Yue'e lay comfortably in the water.
Li ng erged from the dim forest.
His tall figure basked in the sunlight.
"Yue'e, do you like it here?"
Li ng shouted to Yue'e in the water from the shore.
Yue'e turned her massive body.
"Boss, the water here feels great, I want to hibernate here."
"Alright, then you stay here."
Li ng plopped down on the shore.
He looked up, squinting at the sun high in the sky.
The sun was glaring, causing a stinging sensation in his eyes.
But that feeling was exhilarating.
After a while, Li ng couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head.
After staying on the shore for a while, Li ng stood up.
"Yue'e, I'm leaving now. Return to the northern swamp when you wake up."
"I know, Boss!"
Li ng glanced around the surrounding forest.
Then he turned and walked into the dim forest.
Having left the tribe for nearly a month, he needed to go back and check.
In the dim forest, Li ng walked unhurriedly.
"Should I spend a Magic Crystal to simulate life?"
He had been beheaded and had reached a cooperation agreent with the Temple Knights of the Papal State's commander, Serov.
These two events were enough to change the course of the future.
"Forget it, let's wait another half month. Save the Magic Crystal for Yue'e!"
Having made up his mind, Li ng grinned.
His figure flickered, sprinting through the dim forest.
Monts later, in the forest north of the Goblin River.
A slight commotion suddenly arose in the forest.
In the next instant, a green-skinned figure darted out of the dim forest.
It leaped from the shore.
Spanning dozens of ters, it landed on the water with a "thud."
On the river's surface, Li ng looked down at the ice beneath his feet.
His expression was thoughtful.
After a while, Li ng grinned.
He started running on the river's surface.
In a few breaths, he crossed hundreds of ters of the river, charging into the northern forest.
Several hours later, at the east gate of the throne tribe.
"The boss is back, the boss is back!"
The commotion in the forest caught the attention of the Goblins on the wooden wall.
When they saw it was the boss running out of the forest.
The wooden wall erupted with cries of "Wah wah."
The tightly closed west gate slowly opened with a creaking sound.
After more than half a month, Li ng returned to the throne tribe.
Compared to when he left, the throne tribe hadn't changed much.
The scale of the throne tribe wouldn't expand further.
Sub-tribes would increase with the number of Goblins and the expansion of hunting areas.
Each sub-tribe managed a hunting area.
"Where's Bai Ling, where is she?"
Back at the throne cave, Li ng saw a group of female Lizardn.
The sun was gradually setting.
At this ti, the female Lizardn had all returned to the tribe.
The Goblin's inquiry caused the female Lizardn in the wooden house to show a look of panic.
Beside them, Hui Shasha mustered the courage to step forward.
She knelt on the ground, lowering her head.
"Master, the chieftain returned to the Yue Clan not long ago!"
Li ng grabbed Hui Shasha's arm and pulled her up.
Then he carried her with big strides towards the bed.
The Goblin's nightlife was quite monotonous.
Besides making little Goblins, there wasn't much else to do.
The battle with the pioneering legion of the Principality of Ilysis had cost them dearly.
In the coming year, all the upper Goblins had to stay in the throne tribe.
That night, the throne cave was bustling.
Outside the door, Benben was awakened by the commotion in the wooden house.
He got up, glanced back, and then lay down to sleep soundly.
Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, Li ng left the tribe again.
He exited through the east gate, disappearing into the eastern forest.
In the following days, Li ng focused on one task.
Investigating the habits and breeding cycles of the forest's creatures.
Another new day.
In the northern forest by the Goblin River.
The dim forest was quiet and silent.
It seed peaceful, but various sounds were hidden within.
In the depths of the ghostly forest, a group of figures was amidst the lush bushes.
They were forest deer, each with a shoulder height of 1.5 ters and a sturdy body.
They were scattered throughout the forest, nibbling on the bushes' branches and leaves.
Occasionally, they would raise their heads, cautiously surveying their surroundings.
Not far from the deer herd, a pair of eyes was watching them.
Behind a large tree, Li ng was hiding.
He poked his head out to observe the forest deer.
"So cute!"
The soft-furred forest deer were quite endearing to Li ng.
They looked a bit silly.
Like oversized roe deer.
"The at must be delicious!"
Li ng grinned, a flash of greed in his eyes.
Though tempted to eat venison, Li ng restrained himself.
He wasn't here to hunt but to solve the food problem.
Large-scale farming of groundhogs and wild boars wasn't realistic.
Because this world also had diseases and viruses.
Maybe magic could cure viruses and diseases.
But the throne tribe didn't have that capability right now.
Mass farming could lead to mass deaths.
So, protecting the forest's ecology was very necessary.
Different prey had different breeding seasons.
As long as hunting was prohibited during breeding seasons, the population of a species could be maintained.
Preventing a species' numbers from drastically declining due to overhunting.
And eventually becoming extinct without a trace.
Goblin hunting was sowhat of a relentless pursuit.
After leaving the throne tribe, Li ng headed east.
What he saw and heard along the way was quite shocking.
Within a twenty-kiloter radius of the throne tribe, the forest had beco a dead zone.
Though he found so common groundhogs and forest rabbits, their numbers were very sparse.
If the endless hunting continued.
One day, the creatures in the Goblin Forest would be eaten to extinction by the Goblins.
To ensure the Goblins had an inexhaustible supply of food.
Protecting the forest's ecological environnt was extrely necessary.
