Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 133 – Lake Hu and the Ecological Environment

Li Meng hid behind a large tree, peering at the lake outside.

The lake remained bright.

The scorching sunlight shimmered on the water's surface, reflecting a dazzling brilliance.

Various sizes of Water Slimes were frolicking in the water.

They bounced around, appearing peaceful and leisurely.

"Yue'e, is it those things?"

Behind Li Meng, Yue'e poked out her enormous head.

"Boss, so many slimes, it's them!"

Li Meng grinned and pointed towards the lake.

"Yue'e, charge!"

"Yes, Boss!"

Yue'e took giant strides towards the lake.

For a moment, the forest resounded with a rumbling noise.

The huge commotion caused the Water Slimes in the lake to scatter like startled birds and beasts.

From the depths of the forest, a massive shadow emerged.

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-submerged, thrashing around.

"Boss, Boss, this is the taste!"

After thrashing for a while, Yue'e lay comfortably in the water.

Li Meng emerged from the dim forest.

His tall figure basked in the sunlight.

"Yue'e, do you like it here?"

Li Meng 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 Meng 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 Meng couldn't bear it anymore and lowered his head.

After staying on the shore for a while, Li Meng stood up.

"Yue'e, I'm leaving now. Return to the northern swamp when you wake up."

"I know, Boss!"

Li Meng glanced around the surrounding forest.

Then he turned and walked into the dim forest.

Updat𝓮d from freewēbnoveℓ.com.

Having left the tribe for nearly a month, he needed to go back and check.

In the dim forest, Li Meng walked unhurriedly.

"Should I spend a Magic Crystal to simulate life?"

He had been beheaded and had reached a cooperation agreement 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 Meng grinned.

His figure flickered, sprinting through the dim forest.

Moments 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 meters, it landed on the water with a "thud."

On the river's surface, Li Meng looked down at the ice beneath his feet.

His expression was thoughtful.

After a while, Li Meng grinned.

He started running on the river's surface.

In a few breaths, he crossed hundreds of meters 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 Meng 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 Meng saw a group of female Lizardmen.

The sun was gradually setting.

At this time, the female Lizardmen had all returned to the tribe.

The Goblin's inquiry caused the female Lizardmen 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 Meng 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 Meng left the tribe again.

He exited through the east gate, disappearing into the eastern forest.

In the following days, Li Meng 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 seemed 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 meters 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 Meng was hiding.

He poked his head out to observe the forest deer.

"So cute!"

The soft-furred forest deer were quite endearing to Li Meng.

They looked a bit silly.

Like oversized roe deer.

"The meat must be delicious!"

Li Meng grinned, a flash of greed in his eyes.

Though tempted to eat venison, Li Meng 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 somewhat of a relentless pursuit.

After leaving the throne tribe, Li Meng headed east.

What he saw and heard along the way was quite shocking.

Within a twenty-kilometer radius of the throne tribe, the forest had become a dead zone.

Though he found some 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 environment was extremely necessary.
