Chapter 47: Going Home
On the riverbank, Li Meng turned and ran into the forest.
The forest was immediately disturbed, with startled birds flying away.
The commotion spread deep into the forest.
Over the next few days, Li Meng continued southward.
Although he encountered some of Gobuba's hunting teams along the way, he avoided contact with them.
A journey that should have taken over half a month was completed by Li Meng in just five days.
---
It was a new day, in the morning.
In the forest outside the Goblin cave.
Within the dim forest, a dark figure flashed past.
Its speed was so fast that it disappeared deep into the forest in the blink of an eye.
Moments later, in the forest outside the Goblin lair, Li Meng leisurely emerged.
"It's Gobumeng! Gobumeng has returned!"
Li Meng's appearance caught the attention of the Goblins playing at the cave entrance.
Seeing Gobumeng back, they all displayed looks of astonishment.
Gobuqiang's hunting team had been missing for a very long time.
No one expected Gobumeng to return today.
"Gobumeng, where's Gobuqiang?"
A Big Goblin approached Li Meng.
"None of your business, get lost!"
Li Meng's rude scolding stunned the Big Goblin.
Instinctively, it stepped aside to make way.
It wasn't until Li Meng walked past that it reacted.
"Gobumeng, after being gone so long, the boss won't let you off the hook."
The Big Goblin glared angrily and roared.
"Hmph, perfect. I won't let him off either!"
Li Meng's words left the Big Goblin dumbfounded, followed by a mocking expression.
A mere Big Goblin daring to challenge the boss?
It was simply seeking death.
Under the gaze of the Goblins outside the cave, Li Meng entered the dark cave.
The familiar environment and the foul stench made Li Meng frown slightly.
While Goblins liked this kind of environment, he did not.
"Gobumeng, you dare return?"
Just as he entered the cave, a Goblin Warrior stepped out.
It held a stone axe in hand, glaring angrily.
The disappearance of Gobuqiang's hunting team had made the boss furious.
As a result, the underlings suffered.
Three Goblin Warriors were even eaten alive by the boss.
No wonder Gobuyuan was enraged.
"Haha, isn't this Gobumeng? You're finally back!"
At this moment, an excited laugh echoed from the depths of the cave.
Hearing the voice, Gobuyuan's body trembled.
It quickly stepped aside to make way.
In the distance, atop a stone platform, Gobuba remained as domineering as ever.
Its gaze toward Li Meng was filled only with excitement.
"Speak quickly. Did you bring me the humans?"
Standing before the stone platform, Li Meng looked up at the towering Gobuba.
A few months ago, upon first seeing Gobuba, Li Meng had almost been scared to death.
Now, facing Gobuba again, he felt nothing.
Li Meng's direct gaze made Gobuba frown, anger flashing in its eyes.
"Gobumeng, how dare you look directly at me, you trash born from a Ground Mouse's belly! Kneel!"
Gobuba roared furiously, its glare terrifying.
The surrounding Goblins shrank back in fear.
Even the Goblin Warriors knelt trembling on the ground.
Facing Gobuba's furious roar, Li Meng grinned.
"Gobuba, today this piece of trash will challenge you!"
Hearing this, Gobuba froze momentarily.
"Haha!"
The cave echoed with Gobuba's wild laughter.
The Goblins joined in, laughing uproariously.
Some Goblins even rolled on the ground clutching their stomachs.
They all looked at Li Meng as if he were an idiot.
The boss was the Goblin leader, and a mere Big Goblin dared to challenge him?
"Haha, looks like your trip out made you Ground Mouse-born trash even dumber."
Gobuba laughed so hard it pounded its chest, tears streaming from its massive eyes.
"Gobuba, do you dare fight me?"
Li Meng's thunderous shout silenced the laughter abruptly.
All the Goblins looked at Li Meng in disbelief.
"How amusing. Very well, Gobumeng, I'll make you pay for your stupidity."
Gobuba grinned menacingly, genuinely enraged.
The tiny Big Goblin dared to challenge him?
Gobuba grabbed the giant stone axe beside him.
Its enormous body leaped down from the stone platform.
"Boom!"
The ground shook as Gobuba's massive body landed steadily in front of Li Meng.
Compared to Gobuba, Li Meng was like an ant.
"Die!"
Gobuba roared and swung the stone axe down at Li Meng with both hands.
Even before the axe landed, its forceful wind rushed forward.
Gobuba's face twisted in savagery.
It could already imagine splitting Gobumeng in two with its axe.
Li Meng didn't dodge, staring expressionlessly at the descending axe.
The giant stone axe struck heavily on Li Meng's shoulder.
"Boom!"
The moment the axe hit Li Meng's shoulder, it shattered into countless fragments, scattering everywhere.
The force caused Li Meng's body to sink slightly.
The ground beneath him cracked as his feet dug in.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"
Seeing Li Meng unharmed while his stone axe was reduced to a wooden stick, Gobuba was stunned, disbelief written all over its face.
It couldn't comprehend how Gobumeng had withstood its full-force strike.
Gobuba staggered back, its expression as if seeing a ghost.
The surrounding Goblins were equally shocked.
"How about it? Planning to flee already?"
Li Meng remained expressionless as he watched Gobuba retreat.
"Gobumeng, you're courting death!"
Gobuba roared furiously, throwing away the wooden stick.
It raised its massive fist and charged at Li Meng.
With a few strides, its giant fist swung down at him.
"Die!"
Li Meng let out a cold snort, taking a step back with his right foot to stabilize himself.
He clenched his right fist and simply threw a punch to meet Gobuba's.
At the moment of impact, a shockwave erupted from Li Meng's fist.
"Crack!"
A loud crack echoed.
In an instant, Gobuba's fist twisted unnaturally, its bones shattering completely.
"Ah!"
Gobuba screamed in agony.
The overwhelming force not only shattered its arm but sent its massive body flying.
Gobuba crashed onto the stone platform with a thunderous boom.
Li Meng followed closely, leaping into the air like an arrow.
"Die!"
With a powerful punch, Li Meng struck directly at Gobuba's heart.
"Splat!"
Li Meng's fist pierced through Gobuba's chest, burying half his arm into its body.
He yanked his arm out, holding a massive heart in his hand.
Before Gobuba could regain consciousness, Li Meng had already taken its life.
