Goblin Simulation: Building a Dark Empire-Chapter 194 – Bamboo Raft and Bamboo Forest

"There's a mission!"

Upon hearing this, Gobu Da's eyes lit up.

He nodded vigorously, his face full of flattery.

"Starting today, you need to allocate some manpower to build large bamboo rafts!"

"Great King, how many bamboo rafts should we make?"

Building bamboo rafts isn't difficult; it's quite simple.

Li Meng calculated in his mind.

This time, it's an attack, not a defense.

The main force of the war is the demon tribe, not the goblins.

Therefore, there's no need to mobilize everyone.

Deploying fifty thousand troops will be enough.

If we send fifty thousand troops, we'll need about 700 bamboo rafts.

"We need 1,000 bamboo rafts, and the task must be completed within two months!"

Upon hearing this, Gobu Da's heart tightened.

He counted on his fingers.

Ten ones make ten, ten tens make a hundred, ten hundreds make a thousand.

Gobu Da's body trembled, and he gave a sheepish smile.

"Great King, that's too many, I'm afraid I can't finish it."

"What's so hard about it? Making bamboo rafts isn't difficult."

Bamboo rafts are the simplest kind of boat.

As long as there's enough bamboo, you can make as many rafts as you want.

Facing the Great King's gaze, Gobu Da shrank his neck.

He hesitated a bit and nodded.

"Okay... okay, I'll definitely complete the task."

In the following days, Li Meng didn't return to the throne tribe.

Instead, he inspected several bamboo groves.

Both sides of the Goblin River have large patches of bamboo forest.

The bamboo forests vary in size.

Since the shafts of crossbow bolts are made from bamboo,

and some daily necessities are also made from bamboo,

the tribe consumes a lot of bamboo.

In just a few years, many bamboo groves have disappeared.

Fortunately, bamboo grows very quickly.

Several large bamboo groves are still growing vigorously.

It was already afternoon, in a bamboo grove on the southern shore of the Goblin River.

"Hmm, the smell of bamboo is really nice!"

Walking in the bamboo grove, Li Meng took a deep breath.

Everything in this world is huge.

Even the bamboo is ten times larger than on Earth.

Some bamboo is so thick that one person can't wrap their arms around it.

Walking in the bamboo grove, Li Meng looked amazed.

If it weren't for the smell of excrement, the natural environment would be truly enchanting.

Being in it makes one's body and mind feel joyful.

"Great King, I want to go back!"

Following Li Meng, Gobu Da looked warily at the dark surroundings.

The bamboo grove was very dense.

The thick foliage blocked the sunlight.

Gobu Da didn't like this environment.

Because there was a kind of poisonous insect in the bamboo grove.

They feed on bamboo worms.

If you're not careful, you'll get bitten.

Although not fatal, it makes the body very itchy.

The bamboo grove wasn't quiet.

Not far away, there was a bamboo cutting site.

A large number of goblins were cutting down bamboo.

Some bamboo would be processed again and transported away by cart.

Some bamboo was tied up whole and dragged away by wild boars.

Li Meng, walking ahead, turned around and looked at Gobu Da.

"Gobu Da, there's a bug on your foot."

Upon hearing this, Gobu Da's face froze, his body stiffened.

He looked down at his foot in fear.

What he saw made his pupils contract.

A large bug, resembling a centipede, was crawling on his foot.

"Great King, save me, I don't want to itch."

Gobu Da was flustered, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"Gobu Da, is the itch bug really that scary?"

Goblins naturally have strong immunity.

No matter how poisonous, it can't kill a goblin.

At most, it just makes them uncomfortable for a few days.

Gobu Da nodded vigorously.

Li Meng grinned, flicked his hand.

A small ice arrow shot through the air.

The ice arrow accurately hit the bug on Gobu Da's foot.

The bug was instantly knocked away.

It was pinned to the ground by the ice arrow.

The bug struggled for a while before it stopped moving.

"Ah!"

Gobu Da let out a strange cry.

His body trembled, and he quickly ran away.

He ran more than ten meters before looking back at the bug on the ground with lingering fear.

Li Meng took a few steps forward, crouched beside the bug with curiosity.

This wasn't an animal, but a kind of magical beast.

A high-level but very weak creature.

[Red Centipede Dragon (Elite)]

[Level: 57]

[Strength: 3]

[Defense: 2]

[Agility: 4]

[Magic: 0]

[Maggot Dragon Curse: LV1]

"What is this thing?"

It has skills, but zero magic.

And it's an elite-level magical beast.

"The weakest elite magical beast?"

Li Meng raised his right hand, bit his finger.

A drop of blood fell on the Red Centipede Dragon.

The wound on the Red Centipede Dragon healed visibly.

Li Meng picked up the Red Centipede Dragon from the ground.

"Hey, little guy, wake up!"

Li Meng shook the Red Centipede Dragon vigorously.

"Stop... stop shaking!"

After a while, the Red Centipede Dragon woke up.

It opened its blood-red eyes.

Li Meng stopped shaking.

"Little guy, why are you so weak?"

Li Meng looked curiously at the Red Centipede Dragon in his hand.

"Why is your voice in my head?"

"Nonsense, can't you see I'm talking to you?"

Li Meng shook the Red Centipede Dragon again.

"You... you're just a goblin."

"So what if I'm a goblin, I didn't ask your mom to give me a little goblin."

"What's a mom?"

"Your mother!"

"I don't have a mother!"

"Did you pop out of a rock?"

Li Meng rolled his eyes.

A little bug actually learned to lie.

"I'm not lying."

"I don't believe you!"

"Really, we can only split ourselves, we can't reproduce."

"Split? You're just a bug."

Li Meng held up the Red Centipede Dragon and examined it closely.

It's just a bug that looks like a centipede.

It doesn't look like an animal that can split.

"The Red Centipede Dragon is just our host, our true identity is the Maggot Dragon!"

"What's a Maggot Dragon?"

Li Meng remembered the Red Centipede Dragon's skill "Maggot Dragon Curse."

"Maggot Dragon is also called Ancestor Dragon, Maggot Dragon is the name given to us by the Dragon God, we were originally the ancestors of the dragon race, it was through parasitizing powerful magical beasts and evolving over millions of years that we created the dragon race."

The Red Centipede Dragon's words left Li Meng dumbfounded.

When did his luck become so good?

Just a whim to visit the bamboo grove and he encountered an ancient magical beast?

If the Maggot Dragon is truly the ancestor of the dragon race.

Then their identity is extraordinary.

"Are you trying to fool me?"

"I have no reason to lie to you."

"How can you be so powerful and yet parasitize weak bugs?"

"This is the Dragon God's curse, the curse makes us extremely weak, needing to parasitize living creatures to absorb magic and life to survive, the curse made us lose the ability to speak."

"Then you're really useless!"

Although the Maggot Dragon's background is grand.

But now the Maggot Dragon has truly become a maggot.

Li Meng raised his hand to throw away the Red Centipede Dragon in his hand.
