Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 141 – Harpoon gun and fishing nets

In the following days, Li Meng stayed in the Yue Clan and went nowhere else.

During the day, he would play with Yue'e, and at night, he would spend time with Bai Ling.

On the third day, a Goblin team appeared in the waters east of the Yue Clan.

The team consisted of over a hundred Goblins.

They approached the shore on bamboo rafts from the eastern waterway.

By noon, the area outside the east gate of the Yue Clan was bustling with noise.

"Boss, what are these?"

Bai Ling looked puzzled as she watched the Goblins continuously unload goods from the bamboo rafts.

The goods seemed to be some kind of long pole weapon.

The tip was a trident-like spearhead.

Li Meng picked up a harpoon gun.

"This is a harpoon gun. It can be used for fishing or as a weapon."

Although the harpoon gun was entirely forged from metal, it wasn't very heavy due to its hollow shaft.

Li Meng strode to the water's edge, holding the harpoon gun.

At the water's edge, Li Meng stared at the surface with the harpoon gun in hand.

Before long, a shadow flashed beneath the water in front of him.

Li Meng reversed his grip on the harpoon gun and thrust it into the water.

With a splash, the harpoon gun pierced the water.

When he pulled it out, a fat green catfish was impaled on the harpoon's tip.

This sight made the eyes of the Lizardman elders behind him light up.

Li Meng removed the catfish from the spearhead and tossed it to the elders behind him.

Gray Scale quickly caught the catfish.

"If you want to catch them alive, you'll need a different tool."

At this moment, a Goblin came down from the bamboo raft holding a bundle of spider silk.

Li Meng turned and pointed at the bundle of spider silk, facing the Lizardman elders.

"In the next half month, I'll teach you how to weave fishing nets!"

The commotion outside the east gate lasted for a long time.

It wasn't until the afternoon that the Goblins transporting goods left on their bamboo rafts.

In the following days, Li Meng began teaching the Yue Clan how to weave fishing nets.

There are many types of fishing nets: casting nets, seine nets, and trawl nets.

These three types are suitable for the Lizardmen.

Compared to Goblins, Lizardmen are much smarter.

They not only learn quickly but also think about the new things they learn.

Half a month later, one afternoon.

There was a bustle outside the east gate.

Hundreds of Lizardmen gathered in the shallow waters.

Looking out, their figures formed a dense mass.

"You dozen are responsible for dragging the trawl net, maintain speed, and once in the water, don't stop!"

Under Li Meng's gaze, a dozen Lizardmen nodded fearfully.

Li Meng then turned to another group of Lizardmen.

"You are responsible for pulling the fishing net from both sides, ensuring it doesn't snag on the bottom."

That group of Lizardmen quickly nodded in response.

"You are responsible for driving the fish!"

With that, Li Meng carefully assigned tasks to each group of Lizardmen.

"Let's begin, move out!"

The dozen Lizardmen dragging the trawl net tied the tow ropes to their shoulders.

They all plunged into the deep waters.

The trawl net in the shallow waters was dragged into the deep waters with a splash.

The other two groups of Lizardmen quickly followed and jumped into the water.

On the surface, the dozen Lizardmen swam vigorously.

The massive trawl net was faintly visible underwater.

It looked like a giant, man-eating mouth.

The Lizardmen on the shore watched the departing fishing team with curiosity.

In the waters within a kilometer radius, the fishing team swam back and forth.

From the sky, one could see the Lizardmen chasing the fish schools.

Although the fish darted around, they occasionally made the mistake of swimming into the trawl net.

In less than half an hour, the Lizardmen dragging the trawl net began to tire.

The fishing team had to come ashore.

"They're coming up, they're coming up!"

Seeing the Lizardmen dragging the trawl net come ashore, the Lizardmen on the bank quickly went to meet them.

Dozens of Lizardmen worked together to pull the trawl net onto the shore.

"Fish, so many fish!"

Before the trawl net was fully out of the deep water, the net was splashing with water.

Various fish were crowded in the net.

The surrounding Lizardmen approached with astonishment.

They never thought fishing could be so simple.

In the past, catching fish was not easy for them.

Because fish in the water were much faster and more agile than they were.

Their method of fishing was to drive the fish into shallow waters first, then use stone large machetes to stun the fish.

"Boss, is this... is this your idea?"

Bai Ling, with her big belly, looked incredulously at the boss beside her.

Although the boss had explained the use of the three types of fishing nets before, Bai Ling didn't believe it in her heart.

Because the trawl net didn't have a closed end, even if fish swam in, they could swim out.

But reality proved their thinking was completely wrong.

The Lizardman elders beside them were also incredulous.

With just a net, the fish schools were obediently caught?

The fishing efficiency was astonishing.

This one net would be enough to feed the tribe for several days.

Li Meng grinned and pointed to his head.

"I told you, I'm a smart Goblin!"

Bai Ling stared blankly at the boss beside her.

She had always thought the boss was a very special and smart Goblin.

But today, she realized she had underestimated her master's wisdom.

In the following time, the noise outside the east gate continued for a long time.

Li Meng also taught the Lizardmen how to use seine nets and casting nets.

Trawl nets are suitable for deep water operations.

While casting nets and seine nets are suitable for shallower waters.

For several days, the waters around the Yue Clan were bustling.

Lizardmen were learning how to skillfully use harpoon guns and fishing nets.

Half a month later, one night, Bai Ling gave birth.

Li Meng also saw for the first time how a female gave birth to little Goblins.

It was a new day, in the morning.

The chieftain's wooden house was bustling.

A dozen little Goblins, like small rabbits, were playing and frolicking.

"You little brats, quiet down and sit!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Li Meng roared.

This startled the playful little Goblins, who were shocked.

They quickly scrambled to line up and sit obediently.

Their little eyes spun around, observing the Lizardman elders in the room.

Seeing the little Goblins finally quiet down, the Lizardman elders in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

These little Goblins, though just born, had exceptionally sharp claws and teeth.

If not careful, they could easily get hurt by them.

Sitting on the animal skin, Li Meng surveyed the Lizardman elders in the room.

"It's been almost a month, it's time for me to leave!"

The boss's words made the expressions of the Lizardman elders in the room change slightly.

"Teaching you to weave fishing nets was to improve your fishing efficiency. In the future, you will be responsible for providing a certain share of military provisions."

The Lizardman elders nodded repeatedly.

They already understood what military provisions were from the boss's explanation.

It was just preparing some dried fish for the Goblins.

This task was simple and posed no difficulty at all.

Li Meng stood up and walked out.

"Let's go, you little brats!"

The boss's shout made the little Goblins happily get up and run to him.

They climbed onto Li Meng's body like geckos.

Some climbed onto his shoulders.

Others hung onto the animal skin.

Bai Ling and the Lizardmen rose to see him off.
