In that dire, a ship soared over a t mountain.

  It almost skimmed the peak as it flew past.

  The ship wasn't rge, about thirty meters long.

  The two-masted sails on the deck were particurly striking.

  "Quick, go tell the boss!"

  The Goblins who withis se were filled with wild joy aement.

  "I'll go!"

  "I'll go!"

  "You all stay here and watch, I'll go!"

  The Goblins oreetops scrambled to slide down to the ground.

  "Goblin, do you dare to pete with me?"

  In the dim forest, several Goblins were running with all their might.

  One Goblin leaped forward, tag the Goblin in front of it.

  With a foot on the back of the fallen Goblin, it sprinted ahead.

  "Goblin, I'll eat you!"

  The Goblin on the ground roared in anger.

  The running Goblin turs head and made a face.

  "Who eats who is still uain!"

  "Stht there!"

  The Goblins in the forest rushed towards the Gobli.

  "Boss, boss!"

  The fastest Goblin, Goblin Quick, was the first to rush into the cave.

  It slid to its knees, bowing before the stoform.

  At this moment, Li Meng was eating a wild boar's heart oone.

  "What's the matter, why are you in such a panic?"

  Goblin Quick patted its chest, panting heavily.

  "Boss, something is flying towards us from the sky, and it's not a bird!"

  Upon hearing this, Li Meng's eyes lit up.

  He casually tossed aside the heart in his hand and leaped off the stoform.

  "Benbe's go!"

  Li Meng's figure fshed as he rushed out of the cave.

  He dashed out of the cave without stopping, heading straight into the forest.

  Moments ter, Li Meng's figure appeared oreetop of a rge tree deep in the forest.

  Standing oreetop, Li Meng gazed into the distant sky.

  In that dire, an airship was flying towards them.

  "So this is an airship? Truly peculiar!"

  No wings, no visible propulsion system.

  Nor did it have the airbags that a blimp would require.

  Though the airship wasn't very rge, the fact that it could fly was a miracle.

  Li Meng put his fingers in his mouth and blew a whistle.

  "Whistle!"

  The loud whistle echoed between heaven ah.

  "It's the boss's signal!"

  The Goblins at the cave entrance heard the whistle.

  They scrambled bato the cave.

  In no time, over a hundred Goblins, panting heavily, carried a three-bow ballista out of the cave.

  A dense mass of Goblins carried the three-bow ballista into the forest.

  The deployment positions for the three-bow ballista had long been rehearsed.

  There were 24 deployment positions in the forest surrounding the Gobli.

  Each deployment position had a small clearing among the trees.

  The Goblin team carrying the three-bow ballista split introups.

  They headed to their respective deployment positions.

  In the forest, three three-bow ballistae were pced in a triangur formation.

  Each ballista was a hundred meters apart from the others.

  "Faster, turn it faster!"

  "Make sure the spider silk rope is tied tightly, it several times!"

  Uhe Big Goblin's orders, the Goblins at the three deployment positions began preparing for unch.

  The Goblins responsible for turning the winch started turning it.

  The Goblins in charge of the harpoon bolts tied the other end of the spider silk rope to the sturdiest tree.

  Some Goblins even climbed up nearby treetops to observe the airship.

  For a moment, the forest was bustling with noise.

  The Goblins' "wah wah" cries echoed through the forest.

  "Great, it's flying this way!"

  Seeing the airship approag, Li Meng grinned.

  The airship was about seven hundred meters high and still desding.

  This height was already within the range of the three-bow ballista.

  Meanwhile, in the nearby sky, an airship was flying.

  The airship wasn't fast, moving with the wind.

  Looking down at the deck, some soldiers in blue armor could be seen.

  There weren't many, only thirteen.

  They leaned over the ship's railing, the forest below.

  "Any signs of the Barbarian tribe?"

  An officer in more exquisite armor paced the deck.

  He wore a helmet with a red plume.

  The other soldiers' helmets were bare on top.

  "The forest is very quiet, no signs of anything!"

  "Captain, we should be close to our destination by now."

  A soldier stood up, rubbing his sore neck.

  The officer stopped behind him and kicked him in the rear.

  "Don't sck off, we're still far from the reaissance boundary, at least thirty kilometers."

  "Captain, could the ret rumors be true?"

  "Impossible, the Goblin Forest is home to many Barbarians, they're not easy to deal with."

  "It should have been done long ago, such beautiful mountains and rivers occupied by Barbarians is a real shame."

  The soldiers on the ship discussed the topiimatedly.

  The officer didn't stop them, as his men needed a topic to pass the time.

  "Captain, possible Gobli sighted ahead!"

  At that moment, a soldier at the bow shouted a report.

  This caught the attention of the other soldiers.

  They rushed to the bow to observe the forest ahead.

  "There's beast bo the entra should be a Gobli!"

  "The forest outside is too quiet, it might be an abandoned ."

  " down first, let the adventurers ha!"

  "Scribe, record this location!"

  On the deck, there were not only soldiers and the officer.

  There were also two scribes in blue and white robes and a low-ranking priest from the temple.

  The scribe held a piece of part.

  It shimmered with magical light.

  The low-ranking priest was o deck.

  He was trolling a crystal that emitted a blue magical glow and funed as a ship's wheel.

  Meanwhile, in the forest ahead of the airship.

  "Boss, boss, the creature in the sky is getting closer!"

  In the woods, the Goblins oreetops stantly reported the airship's position.

  At the deployment position, Li Meng trolled the three-bow ballista, aiming at the sky.

  Ohe airship appeared in sight, he would pull the trigger.

  "e on, my airship!"

  Looking at the azure sky, Li Meng grinned.

  If the hunt was successful, perhaps he could unlock airship teology.

  Though the possibility was slim, it was worth a try.

  This was a world with magid the airship's ability to fly was surely reted to magic.

  Lag magical knowledge, Li Meng wasn't fident he could replicate an airship just by taking one down.

  But regardless, it was worth a shot.

  Time ticked away, and Li Meng waited patiently.

  Moments ter, an airship sloeared above the forest at the deployment position.

  "I see you!"

  Li Meng's eyes lit up, and he grinned menagly.

  He put his fingers in his mouth and blew a whistle.
