Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 126 – Water Marsh Turtle King
"Roar!"
The pained Magical Beast let out a beastly roar.
With a splash, its massive body was dragged into the water.
The shadow beneath the water churned violently.
The entire river surface began to ripple intensely.
After a while, the turbulent water finally calmed down.
On the shore, Li Meng was gnawing on the tail of the Magical Beast with relish.
That fourth-tier Magical Beast was called the "Spine-backed Lowland Dragon."
It was an advanced form of the lowland dragon.
[Devour skill activated, acquired skill "Stone Bullet"]
This was the only skill possessed by the Spine-backed Lowland Dragon.
At this moment, the water surface rippled again.
Yue'e's massive body emerged from the water.
"Boss, its meat is really tough!"
Along with Yue'e, the headless corpse of the Spine-backed Lowland Dragon appeared.
The nearly twenty-meter-long corpse floated on the water.
Grinning, Li Meng tossed away the tail in his hand.
"It really isn't tasty!"
Li Meng leaped up from the shore and landed on Yue'e's back.
Yue'e's enormous body continued to swim on the water's surface.
In the river, a crocodile and a Goblin continued southward.
Li Meng kept his eyes and ears open.
Whenever they encountered a Magical Beast, regardless of its strength, they would give it a few slaps.
Some Magical Beasts, although weak, had strong survival instincts.
They would flee in a flash before he could get close.
Even with Li Meng's agility attribute over a thousand, it was hard to catch them.
Along the way, they encountered many Magical Beasts.
But 99% of them had no skills.
They fought like ordinary animals, relying on their physical bodies.
The next day, they reached a southern tributary of the Goblin River.
In the afternoon, the sun blazed overhead.
"Boss, what's that thing?"
Yue'e stopped on the river surface.
Her huge eyes were fixed on an island in the river not far away.
It wasn't an island; it was a Magical Beast.
A turtle-type Magical Beast, the island was its shell.
The enormous turtle shell had a diameter of over two hundred meters.
From a distance, it looked like a small island.

"Oh my god!"
The terrifying attributes of the Water Marsh Turtle startled Li Meng.
"Yue'e, don't move, let it pass first!"
Li Meng immediately backed down, giving way.
The island in the river was moving, albeit slowly.
Before long, the island approached the shore.
With a thunderous roar, the massive body of the Water Marsh Turtle revealed itself.
It really looked like a giant turtle.
Its back truly resembled a mountain.
There was soil and dense vegetation on it.
The Water Marsh Turtle King rumbled onto the eastern shore's forest.
Wherever it passed, a massive trench appeared in the forest.
Watching the gigantic body of the Water Marsh Turtle King gradually disappear, Li Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Water Marsh Turtle King was relatively gentle.
If it were like them, slapping every Magical Beast they encountered...
They would be done for.
Li Meng was sure that if that big guy had murderous intent towards them...
They would be killed in an instant.
"The Life Simulation System is really unreliable!"
Li Meng couldn't help but complain about the Life Simulation System in his heart.
Encountering such important information as the Water Marsh Turtle King, yet it had nothing.
"Boss, it's so strong, my tail went limp!"
Like Li Meng, Yue'e was also startled.
Upon seeing the true form of the Water Marsh Turtle King, Yue'e felt weak all over.
All her strength seemed to vanish.
If it weren't for the boss on her back, she would have run away long ago.
"It is indeed strong, but luckily it's not interested in us. Let's go, Yue'e!"
In the eyes of the Water Marsh Turtle King, they were like ants.
The kind of existence not even worth a glance.
In the river, Yue'e continued to swim.
Time passed bit by bit, day after day.
On the ninth day, Li Meng and Yue'e arrived at the Black Mountain Swamp.
In the morning, at the Black Mountain Swamp.
In the endless waters, Yue'e twisted her body and swam forward.
"That should be Black Mountain, right?"
Sitting on Yue'e's back, Li Meng gazed into the distance.
They had left the river for a while now.
The surrounding waters were an endless marshland.
The water was no more than three meters deep, and the bottom was dark.
The river water had a rotten smell.
Looking around, the marshland was a vast expanse of white.
No land was in sight.
The vast waters gave the feeling of entering the ocean.
Only on the western horizon was there a massive black barren mountain.
The mountain top was covered in ice and snow, indicating how high the barren mountain was.
And that mountain was undoubtedly Black Mountain.
"Yue'e, head to that Black Mountain!"
Yue'e picked up speed.
Her massive body swayed even more.
Where she passed, she stirred up rolling muddy silt.
------
In the Goblin Forest, there was a swamp.
The swamp was called Black Mountain Swamp.
There was a mountain in Black Mountain Swamp, called Black Mountain.
At the foot of the mountain was a settlement called the "Ancestral Tribe."
In the afternoon, the scorching sun hung high in the sky.
At the southern foot of Black Mountain lay a wooden fortress.
The wooden fortress was enormous.
Wooden structures stretched along the shore for over two kilometers.
In the waters south of the wooden fortress, a fleet of three-masted ships floated.
Tall sails stretched for kilometers across the waters.
At a glance, there were no fewer than fifty ships.
Looking towards the waters where the fleet was located.
Numerous Lizardman corpses floated on the water's surface.
On the decks of each ship, many archers in leather armor stood ready.
They stood by the ship's rail, constantly watching for any movement in the water.
At the slightest disturbance, an arrow would be shot.
"There's movement under the ship, the Lizardmen are trying to bore into the hull!"
One of the ships was in chaos.
Soldiers in red armor hurried to the ship's rail.
"Don't panic, the Lizardmen's stone weapons can't bore through."
"Priests, show them some power!"
On the deck, temple priests in white robes approached the ship's rail.
They held a crystal in their hands.
Holding the crystal, the priests chanted loudly.
The crystal in their hands emitted a faint glow.
At the moment the chanting stopped.
They threw the crystal into the river.
The crystal sank and began to spin.
It formed whirlpools on the water's surface.
At the center of the whirlpools, the crystal burst with a blue magical glow.
Countless water arrows shot out in all directions.
The Lizardmen boring into the hull were instantly turned into sieves.
Blood gushed to the surface.
The hull was also hit by the water arrows.
But the water arrows only left small dents on the hull.
"Ugh!"
Seeing they couldn't inflict effective damage on the human fleet.
The Lizardmen on the shore blew the retreat horn.
The urgent sound of the horn echoed from the shore's settlement.
The Lizardmen attacking the fleet underwater hurriedly retreated.
From the sky, looking at the waters near the fleet.
Shadows flashed by underwater.
Meanwhile, on the deck of one of the ships.
At the bow stood a middle-aged man in silver armor.
He held a helmet at his waist, his gaze stern as he looked at the wooden fortress on the shore.
