The Goblin River has a flood season and often overflows.
This makes water and land transportation ti-sensitive.
Building a dock on the shore is also a big challenge.
When the flood season cos, any structure will be destroyed.
"What is the boss doing?"
The commotion in the tribe caught the attention of the higher-ranking Goblins who had been waiting for a long ti.
They left their wooden huts one by one, curiously watching.
In the tribe, the boss was riding a strange creature.
The creature needed two wild boars to pull it to run.
"Boss, boss, I want to play too!"
Gobu Di chased after the carriage, bouncing along.
As it chased, it shouted loudly.
Li ng glanced at Gobu Di's massive figure.
As a Goblin Warrior, Gobu Di was a giant standing 2.5 ters tall.
"Climb up!"
Li ng grinned, giving permission.
It was a good opportunity to test the carriage's load capacity.
Gobu Di smiled excitedly and quickly climbed onto the carriage.
As Gobu Di got on, the carriage sank instantly.
Wheel marks appeared on the ground.
"I want to play too, I want to!"
Another Goblin Soldier ca running over, bouncing along.
"Co on, all of you, get on!"
Li ng laughed loudly, granting permission.
The Goblin Soldier quickly climbed onto the flatbed.
"Boss, I want to play too!"
"I want to, I want to!"
Seeing the other Goblins getting on the carriage, the rest couldn't resist.
The higher-ranking Goblins all ran towards the carriage.
"Move forward, let on!"
"No space, no space!"
"You're stepping on my leg, are you looking for trouble!"
"How dare you touch ?"
"So what if I touch you? The boss let on."
The higher-ranking Goblins scrambled to climb onto the carriage.
As they piled on, the carriage's speed slowed down.
The wild boars pulling the carriage were visibly struggling.
Their bodies leaned forward, panting heavily.
The carriage creaked as if it would fall apart at any mont.
The noise behind made Li ng, who was driving the carriage, turn his head.
What he saw made Li ng jump in fright.
The Goblins, who had squeezed onto the carriage, had ford a mountain of flesh.
Gobu Di, who was the first to get on, was crushed underneath.
"Get off quickly, you're going to break the carriage..."
Before Li ng could finish his sentence, there was a "crack."
The four wheels of the carriage twisted and collapsed almost simultaneously.
The carriage suddenly sank.
The Goblins on the carriage tumbled off, rolling onto the ground.
Fortunately, Li ng reacted quickly and jumped off in ti.
Looking at the disastrous scene of the accident, Li ng's mouth twitched.
"You fools!"
Li ng's roar suddenly echoed through the tribe.
The sound was so loud that it startled birds and beasts in a large area of the forest.
The female Lizardn watching the commotion giggled.
The Goblins at that mont were truly comical.
The Goblins who got up shrank their necks and smiled ingratiatingly.
They backed away, their eyes wandering.
As soon as the boss's gaze moved away from them, they would imdiately run away.
Taking a deep breath, Li ng grinned fiercely.
"Since you're here, let's get things done!"
"Follow , bring so food."
"Call everyone who hasn't co, gather at the Iron Cave!"
With that, Li ng strode towards the direction of the Iron Cave.
Watching the boss's departing figure, the higher-ranking Goblins looked at each other.
At that mont, they felt a bit panicked.
But since the boss had said so, they had no choice but to follow.
"I... I'll go get food!"
" too!"
And so, Li ng led a group of higher-ranking Goblins in a grand procession heading north.
Half an hour later, outside the Iron Cave.
Li ng erged from the forest, bathed in the scorching sunlight.
Li ng looked up at the glaring sun.
"This is the place, bring the knife!"
A Goblin quickly handed over a knife.
The knife wasn't big, resembling a kitchen knife.
"Bring the at!"
There was movent in the cave.
More than ten Goblins carried a wild boar carcass, panting as they approached.
They set it down less than three ters from Li ng.
Holding the kitchen knife, Li ng turned to look at the higher-ranking Goblins.
There were a lot of them, nearly a hundred.
Most were Big Goblins and Goblin Soldiers.
"Now, I'm going to teach you how to store food!"
Although Goblins eat carrion, they prefer fresh at.
They can get the necessary moisture from the at alone.
Therefore, it's rare to see Goblins drinking water directly.
Even if they do drink, they don't drink much.
Drinking too much can lead to diarrhea at best, water intoxication at worst.
Making jerky is very simple.
You can remove the moisture from the at by drying and roasting it.
Dried jerky can be preserved for a longer ti without rotting.
The next day, in the afternoon.
Outside the Iron Cave.
"Boss, I... I don't like eating jerky!"
Looking down at the jerky in his hand, Gobu Di had a mournful expression.
"You have to eat it even if you don't like it. It may not taste good, but it fills your stomach and gives you strength to fight. During wars with other Barbarians and humans, we can't waste ti hunting. Eat!"
Since yesterday, the first batch of jerky had already dried.
There were several racks on the open ground outside the Iron Cave.
Strips of jerky hung from the racks.
Facing the boss's gaze, Gobu Di had no choice but to force the jerky into his mouth and chew.
As he chewed, Gobu Di's eyes lit up.
His big mouth kept moving, eating with great relish.
After a while, the jerky was finally chewed and swallowed.
"How does it taste?"
Gobu Di quickly nodded.
"Boss, it's very chewy, the more I chew, the tastier it gets!"
Li ng grinned, feeling very satisfied.
It seed Goblins could accept jerky after all.
Li ng glanced around at his higher-ranking Goblin underlings.
"Rember what I taught you, this is dry food, and you must learn to prepare it yourselves!"
The Goblin underlings nodded repeatedly.
The process of making jerky wasn't complicated.
They had morized it and would try it out when they returned.
"Alright, disperse!"
The higher-ranking Goblins scattered in a rush.
They all entered the forest, heading towards the tribe.
Li ng turned and entered the Iron Cave.
Benben was about to return, bringing back a large group of Ogres.
Ogres couldn't be exposed to sunlight.
Therefore, they needed to be equipped with full-body armor.
With armor shielding them, they wouldn't have to fear sunlight.
However, making the armor couldn't be rushed.
The sizes of the Ogres would definitely vary.
If not custom-made, the armor wouldn't be comfortable for them to wear.
They could first forge the weapons needed for the Ogres.
In the following days, Li ng stayed in the Iron Cave and didn't go anywhere.
So things outside were quietly happening.
The future predicted by the simulated life could be changed.
But so things were bound to happen.
And Li ng wouldn't stop the events that triggered them.
