Seeing Elder A Dao leave, A Da finally snapped back to reality.

  He quickly got up and hurried outside.

  Time ticked by, and the night deepened.

  Early the m, the tribe was bustling with activity.

  A grand procession of a hundred Lizardme off from the tribe, headi.

  By afternoon, in a certain forest to the northeast of the s.

  A group of strong, tall figures was running through the dim woods.

  Each held a rge machete, moving in the same dire.

  "Elder, up ahead is the Spider Forest!"

  A Da approached Elder A Dao.

  This forest was the most familiar to A Da, and they were nearing the Spider Forest.

  Elder A Dao frowned slightly, a hint of doubt fshing in his eyes.

  The Spider Forest was a dead zone.

  Why would Goblins e to such a pce?

  "Let's take a look first, just doer the Spider Forest."

  Sihey were already here, they might as well check it out.

  In the dim forest, the Lizardman team tinued onward.

  Two hours ter, at the edge of the Ghost Spider Forest.

  The woods were silent and dark.

  In the damp, bed forest, nearly a hundred Lizardmen cautiously advanced.

  The spider webs oreetops told the Lizardmely where they were.

  Each Lizardman gripped their machete tightly, warily sing their surroundings.

  "Elder A Dao, the Goblin tracks disappear here!"

  Even if the Goblins were gone, A Da could still smell their lingering st in the air.

  The smell was ing, yet unfettable.

  Elder A Dao she air, a hint of fusion in his eyes.

  The Goblins were gone, so why was their st s?

  It was as if the Goblins were right beside them, within reach.

  Yet there was no sign of Goblins in the surrounding forest.

  "Ah!"

  At that moment, a scream echoed through the forest.

  A long spear suddenly shot out from the dead leaves on the ground, pierg a Lizardman's abdomen.

  "Wa wa !"

  A horde of Goblins shrieked as they crawled out from the dead leaves on the ground.

  They wielded long spears, excitedly stabbing at the Lizardmen who hadn't yet reacted.

  In an instant, the dead leaves danced wildly, and the number of figures in the forest multiplied.

  The Lizardmen never expected the Goblins to be hiding right uheir feet.

  Some Lizardmeepped on the Goblins' bodies.

  The sudden attack left the Lizardmen screaming in pain.

  Dozens of Lizardmen were impaled by spearheads before they could eve.

  "It's the Goblins, kill them!"

  A Dao shouted, sidestepping a Goblin's thrusting spear.

  He swung his machete, cutting down a Goblin.

  The not-so-sharp stone bde khe Goblin to the ground.

  In the forest, the Lizardmen who had regaiheir posure fought back against the Goblins.

  Although the Goblins far outnumbered the Lizardmen,

  the Lizardmen's bat prowess far exceeded that of the Goblins.

  Even with iron ons, it was difficult for the Goblins to win 2-on-1 against a Lizardman.

  They needed a 3-on-1 advao have any hope of victory.

  The fierce battle filled the forest with noise.

  "Get lost!"

  Otlefield, Elder A Dao was like a war god.

  He swung his heavy machete with such precision that it seemed imperable.

  Wherever he went, Goblins fell like chopped vegetables.

  His seemingly tall and clumsy body was surprisingly agile.

  It was as if he had eyes on the back of his head, able to dodge attacks from behind.

  Suddenly, a pierg sound came from the right.

  In the midst of battle, A Dao's expression ged slightly, auro block with his machete.

  A long spear shot through the air, striking A Dao's machete.

  "g!"

  With a metallig, A Dao's machete shattered.

  "Shh!"

  The spear tis trajectory, pierg through A Dao's arm.

  The immense force sent A Dao's sturdy body flying backward.

  He flew over teers before crashing to the ground.

  "Hmm, it actually withstood it?"

  Not far away, Li Meng saw the fierce Lizardman withstand his attack, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

  The machete was shattered, and the arm ierced by the spear.

  But the spearhead hadn't reached its chest.

  Gobu Qiang quickly handed over a spear.

  Li Meng grabbed the spear with one hand, his gaze locked on the injured Lizardman.

  He took a step forward and forcefully threw the spear.

  The spear shot through the air, crossing the battlefield, heading straight for the Lizardman trying to get up.

  At that moment, a Goblin was actally knocked into the spear's path by a Lizardman.

  "Shh!"

  The Goblin's body ierced through.

  The immense force carried the Goblin's body forward, crashing into the Lizardman.

  Though the Lizardman was knocked down again, it wasn't seriously harmed.

  Seeing the boss actally injure one of their own, Gobu Qiang chuckled awkwardly.

  Li Meng rolled his eyes.

  Throwing spears could attack from a distance, but in the chaos of battle, it was easy to hit allies.

  "Retreat! Retreat!"

  Oher side, A Daled to his feet after being hit by the spear.

  He shouted, a retreat.

  A Dao khat if the battle tihey might be pletely wiped out.

  Looking at the two Big Goblins watg him from a distance, a hint of fear fshed in A Dao's eyes.

  The Goblin that attacked him was far strohan him.

  How was that possible? How did it mahat?

  That Goblin's size was only slightly rger than a Big Goblin.

  Even a Goblin warrior couldn't surpass him in strength.

  But today, a Big Goblin's strength far exceeded his.

  How could A Dao not be shocked?

  "Retreat, retreat!"

  Elder A Dao's order she Lizardmen out of their battle frenzy.

  The surviving Lizardmen quickly turned and ran into the depths of the forest.

  "Elder A Dao, are you alright?"

  A Da ran to Elder A Dao, quickly supp him as they limped into the forest.

  A few Lizardmen rao cover them from behind.

  Seeing the Lizardmereat, the Goblins cheered excitedly.

  They chased the Lizardmen with greedy expressions.

  "e back, don't chase!"

  Li Meng shouted, stopping the Goblin squad from pursuing the Lizardmen.

  The boss's order forced the Goblins to halt.

  They could only watch as the Lizardmen ran away and disappeared into the forest.

  "Take all the Lizardmen corpses and spears, let's go!"

  It was the boss's order, and the Goblins had to obey.

  Thus, as the Lizardmereated, Li Meng also hurriedly left with his Goblin followers.

  Two hours ter, in the forest by the riverbank.

  The eerie sound of chewing echoed through the forest.

  Nearly a hundred Goblins were feasting on the Lizardmen's bodies.

  "Boss, we're s, why didn't we kill all those Lizardmen?"

  Sitting on a rge rock, Li Meng held a heart, taking bites from it.

  Gobu Qiang gnawed on a Lizardman leg.

  Looking at the Lizardman leg in Gobu Qiang's hand, Li Meng thought of roasted meat.

  Li Meng had tried roasting raw meat to eat it cooked.

  How to put it, Goblins could eat cooked meat.

  But Goblin taste buds didn't allow them to enjoy cooked meat.

  The first time he ate roasted wild boar, Li Meng almost threw up.

  Li Meng also tried roasting fish, but the result was the same.
