Chapter 48: Becoming the Boss
The enormous body slowly collapsed to the ground.
Li Meng stood atop Gobuba's massive body, holding its heart aloft.
His gaze was cold, and his expression emotionless as he looked at the goblins in the cave.
Faced with Li Meng's gaze, the goblins in the cave were filled with fear.
Even the few Goblin Warriors took several steps back.
"Come on, I accept your challenge!"
Li Meng grinned and roared loudly.
The thunderous roar startled the goblins in the cave, sending shivers down their spines.
"Gobumeng! Gobumeng!"
The weakest of the Great Goblins was the first to yield, dropping to its knees with a loud thud and shouting loudly.
Once one goblin took the lead, the others quickly followed suit, bowing and kneeling.
Soon after, the Goblin Warriors followed, and then the Goblin Brave ones.
All the goblins knelt down, chanting in unison.
The deafening sound echoed throughout the cave.
Facing the worship of the goblins, Li Meng grinned hideously.
Excellent. With this, the higher-ranking goblins here were already in his grasp.
Li Meng opened his sharp mouth and tore off a large chunk of the heart.
Standing on Gobuba's corpse, he ate the heart while basking in the cheers of the goblins.
[Devour skill activated, gained skill: "Berserk"]
The system prompt made Li Meng look down at the corpse of Gobuba beneath him.
Gobuba had been too careless.
It hadn't even had the chance to use its Berserk skill before being killed.
Perhaps Gobuba had been like him when the Black Cloak killed him—arrogance and overconfidence often lead to one's demise.
Leaping down, Li Meng landed from Gobuba's body.
"The corpse is yours!"
Hearing this, the surrounding goblins showed greedy expressions.
In a frenzy, they rushed toward Gobuba's body.
Even the weakest Great Goblins dared to fight the Goblin Warriors for the corpse of their leader.
Nearly a hundred goblins swarmed over Gobuba's body, tearing it apart in a frenzy.
Li Meng climbed onto a stone platform, sitting at the edge.
He watched the chaotic and bloody scene below with great interest.
[Devour skill activated, gained skill: "Limb Enhancement"]
With a thought, Li Meng opened his character panel.
[Name: Gobumeng]
[Race: Goblin]
[Level: 15]
[Strength: 825]
[Defense: 759]
[Agility: 341]
[Magic: 86]
[Charm: 0]
[Luck: 11]
[Devour: Devour the flesh of magical beasts to have a chance of gaining their skills]
[Iron Skin: 2 (Strength +600, Defense +600, Agility +200)]
[Wind Blade: LV1]
[Flesh Regeneration: LV5]
[Heart Word: LV1]
[Ice Element Control: LV1]
[Berserk: LV1]
[Limb Enhancement: LV1 (Strength +50, Agility +50)]
Seeing the low magic stat, Li Meng felt a headache.
The magic stat was incredibly difficult to increase.
Out of all his skills, none were related to magic attributes.
It felt wasteful to spend points to improve the magic stat.
Shaking his head, Li Meng sighed and casually threw away the heart in his hand.
Below, the goblins scrambled for it once again.
It took more than half an hour for Gobuba's body to be entirely devoured by the goblins.
"You, you, and you, come here!"
The three Goblin Brave ones pointed out by Li Meng exchanged glances.
They took a few heavy steps forward, approaching the stone platform.
The Goblin Brave ones were the goblins second only to the Goblin Leader.
They were enormous, standing at 2.5 meters tall, with physiques resembling bears.
Their muscles bulged all over their bodies, clearly indicating their strength-based nature.
"Gobuqiang, go sound the war horn and recall all the hunting parties outside!"
Gobuqiang looked fearfully at the small figure of Li Meng on the stone platform.
It nodded and turned to stride out of the cave.
"Gobude, Gobushi, gather all the goblins here and follow me!"
The goblins left in the cave were all higher-ranking goblins.
At the very least, they were Great Goblins.
If he brought this group of higher-ranking goblins back to the tribe, the population would multiply several times within half a year.
The potential of newborns would also be much greater.
"Boss, where are we going?"
Gobude asked from below the stone platform.
Li Meng leaped down from the platform, landing steadily on the ground.
"Back to the tribe!"
Li Meng strode toward the cave exit.
Wherever he passed, goblins parted to make way for him in awe.
Gobude and Gobushi exchanged glances.
Now that Gobumeng was the new leader, they could only follow his orders.
The two Goblin Brave ones followed behind Li Meng.
The other goblins followed behind Gobude and Gobushi.
Leading this horde of higher-ranking goblins, Li Meng left the cave in great momentum.
On the mountain peak outside the cave, Li Meng heard the long blast of a horn.
He also saw Gobuqiang walking toward him.
"Gobuqiang, you stay behind to guard the goblin lair. When the hunting parties return, tell them who the new boss is. I'll be back soon."
Gobuqiang nodded and stepped aside.
Under Gobuqiang's watchful gaze, Li Meng led a group of goblins into the depths of the forest.
It had taken Li Meng five days to get there.
But it took more than half a month to return.
