I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 5 Large Wild Beast Hoofprints

As Li Mosi stepped out of the cave, the setting sun stung her eyes, bringing tears to her eyes.

It's already past the halfway point of autumn, and the temperature is still quite comfortable. Li Mosi, wearing a rabbit fur shirt, wool leggings, and a leather apron, sighed inwardly.

What idiotic aesthetics the Middle Ages had.

However, in this era, his methods are already considered superior.

After all, the original owner was wearing the best clothes in the family when she ran away.

The saintess's side, on the other hand, has a kind of beauty derived from money.

Through the gaps in the vines, the sun pattern embroidered with gold thread on the saint's white robe reflected rays of sunlight in the setting sun, making it dazzling to behold.

Not to mention that other parts of the robe and the outer turban also have a lot of gold thread embroidery.

This isn't everyday wear, is it?

Li Moss was puzzled.

"Hmm!"

The saintess felt displeased at being stared at by Li Mosi.

It's one thing to be admired by thousands during the tour, but why let a commoner see her in such a sorry state!

She was still bound here, left with no choice but to accept the fate of being arbitrarily observed and scrutinized by these commoners.

They were even gagged and couldn't even fight back!

I'd rather be eaten by goblins!

Li Mosi wasn't in the mood to look any further.

If the saint were wearing a formal dress, the situation would only be more serious.

However, when he saw what the old goblin looked like, he was shocked again.

In the sunlight, the old goblin's skin, besides being dry, wrinkled, and greenish-gray, appeared even more so!

It was like rolling around in cement powder.

He looked at the light green Zi Yi again and understood.

No wonder you were in such a hurry just now.

His time is running out!

No wonder he didn't kill the strong goblin.

Even if he killed them, Zi Yi couldn't control the adult goblins.

Li Mosi looked out of the cave. In front of her was a large, gentle slope on the mountainside, and above her was a sheer cliff. At the intersection of the slope and the cliff, there were several caves of different sizes.

Judging from the entrance alone, the cave they just came out of was the largest one.

The old goblin watched him survey the area, then pointed down the gentle slope and said, "That's the field. We planted beans there dozens of nights ago, but the soil has decayed, and they haven't grown."

what?

That's farmland?

Li Mosi looked in the direction the old goblin was pointing and saw only a patch of grass that looked no different from the rest of the area.

Guided by the old goblin, they arrived at the field.

Feeling the hardness beneath his feet through the leather sole, Li Mosi remained silent.

It's all hardened up, what's the point of planting anything here?

He said to the old goblin, "This situation is a bit troublesome."

"Indeed." The old goblin nodded, then turned and continued walking north. "We tried to break up the soil again, but it didn't work."

"Hmm~"

Upon hearing this, the saintess made a strange sound.

Judging from her eyes and brows, she seemed to have remembered something happy.

Zi Yi looked ashamed and said, "Master, we have always been planting on the same piece of land..."

As he spoke, his voice grew softer and softer.

This is exactly what Li Moss just said about things that shouldn't be done when planting.

Li Mosi understood.

Although it's unknown what specific beans the goblins are growing, even if they can fix nitrogen, the soil can't withstand growing the same thing year after year.

According to the original owner's memories, even the manor had implemented the three-field system more than a decade ago.

The old goblin stopped again after walking for a short while.

This time, he stopped in front of small piles of stones or wood: "These are the caves we built, which were destroyed when the trolls came."

Li Moss asked in confusion, "Trolls?"

"That's how it is..."

After the old goblin's explanation, Li Mosi understood what had happened.

About ten days ago, a troll stormed into the tribe overnight, ate a lot of food, killed many goblins, and was then driven away.

According to the old goblin, the troll was at least three times the height of a Limer and two times the width of a Limer, with fangs like two large daggers.

Even if this batch of beans fails to grow, the shortfall could be made up by harvesting them.

But the trolls killed goblins and ate the stored food, and the tribe was directly defeated.

Although the old goblin skipped many details in his narration, Li Moss understood why this "leader's child" had lost his voice through Zi Yi's unnatural expression.

This also explains why the goblins were always ready to break up.

The main idea is to eat up the stored food and then stop.

If left unchecked, the current state of desolation will be the final state of this settlement.

He put his hand on Ziyi's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'll help you."

Zi Yi lowered his head and replied softly, "Thank you, Master."

The old goblin turned around again and led the group down the cliff face.

He led Li Mosi into another cave entrance.

Sunlight streamed in through the windows in the stone wall, illuminating the cave.

Compared to the cave at the beginning, this cave is much smaller, less than thirty square meters, but the interior furnishings are exquisite.

The bundled haystacks were neatly stacked, their size just right for the goblins to use as beds.

On the haystack in the middle, there was a large stone slab, which looked like a table.

Even in a human's manor, let alone for goblins, this is considered a good condition.

Just as he was looking at it, a bamboo skewer suddenly jumped out in front of him.

[Observation complete, information summary finished]

"?"

Filled with doubt, Li Mosi silently called out the name of [Le Shan Shui].

Suddenly, a piece of white paper appeared in his field of vision.

The top shows the surrounding terrain with him as the center.

That terrain was the ruins and fields he had just looked at!

There are additional markings on the fields.

[Small wild animal footprints discovered (old)]

[Large Wild Animal Hoof Prints Discovered (New)!]

As expected of a system!

Li Mosi immediately figured out how to use it.

Farming was no longer viable, and gathering was inefficient, so hunting was a viable way to fill one's stomach.

He immediately asked, "How do you usually hunt?"

"There's no way to hunt anymore," the old goblin shook his head. "All the prey around here has been caught long ago, leaving only the big guys that we can't hunt."

After saying that, the old goblin parted a haystack and pulled out an iron axe.

Li Mosi and the saintess were both stunned for a moment, watching as the old goblin took out a whole bunch of miscellaneous things from the haystack, including wood, iron daggers, thin ropes, and arrows.

There are even beehives inside.

After regaining her composure, Li Moss asked, "What is 'the unhuntable giant'?"

"This is the best weapon for hunting."

The old goblin picked up a spear from the corner of the wall, which seemed rather short to Li Mosi; the spearhead was a polished stone tool.

"drink!"

With a shout, the spear was hurled by the old goblin and embedded in a haystack at the far end of the cave.

"Phew—" The old goblin let out a long breath: "This is the distance at which we can inflict useful damage on our prey. To hunt that giant black boar, we need to get even closer. Any goblin that throws spears will die."

Wild boar?

It does match the hoof prints.

Li Moss walked from where the old goblin was to where the spears were thrown, a distance of ten steps, less than six meters.

If it gets any closer...

For wild boars, there's little difference between throwing a spear and stabbing at this distance.

They all ended up being blown away.

"I see."

Therefore, if you want to hunt, you must first increase your combat strength.

He doesn't know anything about hunting...

Li Mosi counted the treasures the old goblin had thrown out.

The wood is excellent oak, and the string is also superb linen...

Bowstring?!

Li Mosi glanced at the arrows scattered on the ground and looked at Zi Yi.

"I'll teach you how to make a bow."
