Chapter 90 – Storing food and jerky

  The Goblin River has a flood season and often overflows.

  This makes water and nd transportation time-sensitive.

  Building a do the shore is also a big challenge.

  When the flood season es, any structure will be destroyed.

  "What is the boss doing?"

  The otion iribe caught the attention of the higher-ranking Goblins who had been waiting for a long time.

  They left their wooden huts one by one, curiously watg.

  Iribe, the boss was riding a strange creature.

  The creature wo wild boars to pull it to run.

  "Boss, boss, I want to py too!"

  Gobu Di chased after the carriage, boung along.

  As it chased, it shouted loudly.

  Li Meng g Gobu Di's massive figure.

  As a Goblin Warriobu Di was a giant standing 2.5 meters tall.

  "Climb up!"

  Li Meng 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 py too, I want to!"

  Anoblin Soldier came running over, boung along.

  "e on, all of you, get on!"

  Li Meng ughed loudly, granting permission.

  The Goblin Soldier quickly climbed onto the ftbed.

  "Boss, I want to py too!"

  "I want to, I want to!"

  Seeing the obliing on the carriage, the rest couldn't resist.

  The higher-ranking Goblins all ran towards the carriage.

  "Move forward, let me on!"

  "No spao space!"

  "You're stepping on my leg, are you looking for trouble!"

  "How dare you touch me?"

  "So what if I touch you? The boss let me 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 moment.

  The noise behind made Li Meng, who was driving the carriage, turn his head.

  What he saw made Li Meng jump in fright.

  The Goblins, who had squeezed onto the carriage, had formed a mountain of flesh.

  Gobu Di, who was the first to get on, was crushed underh.

  "Get off quickly, yoing to break the carriage..."

  Before Li Meng could finish his sentehere was a "crack."

  The four wheels of the carriage twisted and colpsed almost simultaneously.

  The carriage suddenly sank.

  The Goblins on the carriage tumbled off, rolling onto the ground.

  Fortunately, Li Meed quickly and jumped off in time.

  Looking at the disastrous se of the act, Li Meng's mouth twitched.

  "You fools!"

  Li Meng's roar suddenly echoed through the tribe.

  The sound was so loud that it startled birds as in a rge area of the forest.

  The female Lizardmen watg the otion giggled.

  The Goblins at that momeruly ical.

  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 immediately run away.

  Taking a deep breath, Li Meng grinned fiercely.

  "Since you're here, let's get things done!"

  "Follow me, bring some food."

  "Call everyone who hasn't e, gather at the Iron Cave!"

  With that, Li Meng strode towards the dire of the Iron Cave.

  Watg the boss's departing figure, the higher-ranking Goblins looked at each other.

  At that moment, they felt a bit panicked.

  But sihe boss had said so, they had no choice but to follow.

  "I... I'll go get food!"

  "Me too!"

  And so, Li Meng led a group of higher-ranking Goblins in a grand procession heading north.

  Half an hour ter, outside the Iron Cave.

  Li Meng emerged from the forest, bathed in the scorg sunlight.

  Li Meng looked up at the gring sun.

  "This is the pce, bring the knife!"

  A Goblin quickly handed over a knife.

  The knife wasn't big, resembling a kit knife.

  "Bring the meat!"

  There was movement in the cave.

  More than ten Goblins carried a wild boar carcass, panting as they approached.

  They set it dowhan three meters from Li Meng.

  Holding the kit knife, Li Meng turo 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 Gobli carrion, they prefer fresh meat.

  They get the necessary moisture from the meat alone.

  Therefore, it's rare to see Goblins drinking water directly.

  Even if they do drink, they don't drink much.

  Drinking too much lead to diarrhea at best, water intoxication at worst.

  Making jerky is very simple.

  You remove the moisture from the meat by drying and roasting it.

  Dried jerky be preserved for a loime without rotting.

  The day, iernoon.

  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 stomad gives you strength to fight. During wars with other Barbarians and humans, we 't waste time hunti!"

  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.

  Fag 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 moviing 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 Meng grinned, feeling very satisfied.

  It seemed Goblins could accept jerky after all.

  Li Meng gnced around at his higher-ranking Goblin underlings.

  "Remember 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 plicated.

  They had memorized it and would try it out when they returned.

  "Alright, disperse!"

  The higher-ranking Goblins scattered in a rush.

  They all ehe forest, heading towards the tribe.

  Li Meng turned aered the Iron Cave.

  Benben was about to return, bringing back a rge group of Ogres.

  Ogres couldn't be exposed to sunlight.

  Therefore, they o 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 ade, the armor wouldn't be fortable for them to wear.

  They could first fe the ons needed for the Ogres.

  In the following days, Li Meng stayed in the Iron Cave and didn't go anywhere.

  Some things outside were quietly happening.

  The future predicted by the simuted life could be ged.

  But some things were bound to happen.

  And Li Meng wouldn't stop the events that triggered them.
