Chapter 21: Evolution into a High Goblin
[Lizardmen's ambush of the hunting party enraged you, and you decided to take revenge on them.]
[One night, you led the Goblin army in a surprise attack on the Lizardmen tribe.]
[Despite being prepared, the Lizardmen were no match for your Goblin army, and you successfully annihilated the Lizardmen tribe.]
[You killed all the adult Lizardmen and left only the children and females shorter than Goblins.]
[You found an albino female Lizardman who was the high priestess of the Lizardmen tribe.]
[She possessed the skill "Mind Speech," allowing her to communicate with all species.]
[She communicated with you, and you found her beautiful, experiencing a desire to mate for the first time.]
[You claimed her, and a month later, you had your own offspring with her.]
[Her name was Bai Ling. From her, you learned that besides the White Scale Tribe, there were also the Black Scale Tribe and Gray Scale Tribe in the swamp.]
[Please choose one of the following options:]
[1. Continue advancing to destroy the Black Scale Tribe.]
[2. Continue advancing to destroy the Gray Scale Tribe.]
[3. Do nothing and lead the army back to the tribe.]
"Continue advancing to destroy the Black Scale Tribe!"
Although you were unaware of the losses suffered by the Goblin army in the battle against the Lizardmen, the third option was absolutely unacceptable.
If the Black Scale Tribe and Gray Scale Tribe learned of the destruction of Bai Ling’s tribe, they might unite to cause trouble.
The safest choice was to take advantage of the time gap to eliminate the Lizardmen tribes one by one and unify the swamp.
[You chose to advance toward the Black Scale Tribe.]
[One night, your Goblin army launched a surprise attack on the Black Scale Tribe and successfully annihilated them.]
[You left behind the children and females and sent them to the White Scale Tribe.]
[The war caused many High Goblins to evolve into Goblin Warriors. Gobuge challenged you.]
[You accepted the challenge and slapped him ten meters away. Your strength intimidated all the Goblins.]
[Please choose one of the following options:]
[1. Continue advancing toward the Gray Scale Tribe.]
[2. Decide that the Goblin army's losses are too severe and abandon the attack on the Gray Scale Tribe for now.]
"Choose option one, continue advancing toward the Gray Scale Tribe!"
Having come this far, it was necessary to push forward and dominate the swamp.
[You chose to continue advancing toward the Gray Scale Tribe.]
[One night, you launched a surprise attack on the Gray Scale Tribe but found the tribe empty.]
[The destruction of the White Scale and Black Scale Tribes frightened the Gray Scale Tribe, and they had already fled elsewhere.]
[You decided to pursue the Gray Scale Tribe, but their tracks disappeared by the riverside.]
[You unified the northern swamp and became the King of the Swamp.]
[You implemented a twelve-tax system, requiring the White Scale Tribe to contribute two-tenths of their population annually for rotating labor.]
[With the addition of Lizardwomen, the population lost in the war was quickly replenished.]
[Your tribe thrived and experienced a population boom.]
[To meet the food demand, you taught the White Scale Tribe farming techniques, turning the swamp into your fishery.]
[Your hunting party ambushed a Pigmen group.]
[A large-scale Pigmen invasion began. Please choose one of the following options:]
[1. Take the initiative to attack.]
[2. Defend passively and build wooden forts.]
[3. Abandon the breeding grounds and hide in the caves.]
"Why isn’t there a timeline for this!"
Faced with three difficult options, Li Meng muttered to himself.
If he knew the timeline, he could calculate the tribe's strength.
"Choose option one, take the initiative to attack!"
[You chose to take the initiative to attack the invading Pigmen.]
[Your Goblin army fought the Pigmen army in the forest and won, driving them back.]
[As you prepared to pursue, you received news from the swamp.]
[The escaped Gray Scale Tribe brought back a large Lizardmen army, and the White Scale Tribe surrendered.]
[Bai Ling betrayed you. The Lizardmen army learned of your tribe's ability to forge iron weapons.]
[Please choose one of the following options:]
[1. Continue eastward to annihilate the Pigmen tribe completely.]
[2. Lead the Goblin army to the swamp to confront the Lizardmen army.]
[3. Retreat to the tribe and build wooden forts to resist the Lizardmen's attack.]
Allowing the Gray Scale Tribe to escape was clearly a grave mistake.
The rapid shift in circumstances predicted by the simulated life caught Li Meng off guard.
He understood that the escape of the Gray Scale Tribe marked a turning point in his life.
No matter what he chose now, the outcome seemed bleak.
The Pigmen army had been defeated, but pursuing them could leave his rear vulnerable.
The third option was too passive for Li Meng's liking.
"Choose option two, confront the Lizardmen army!"
[You chose to confront the Lizardmen army.]
[You led the Goblin army to the White Scale Tribe but found it deserted.]
[The Lizardmen had withdrawn from the swamp. You found traces of their departure at the riverside.]
[Unable to achieve any results, you returned to the tribe.]
[You decided to continue advancing eastward to eradicate the Pigmen.]
[You discovered the Pigmen tribe but found it abandoned.]
[One day, the Lizardmen army reappeared in the swamp.]
[That same day, a massive Pigmen army emerged from the eastern forest.]
[Your tribe was caught in a pincer attack by the Lizardmen and Pigmen.]
[Bai Ling pointed you out. You and Benben were surrounded by the Lizardmen and Pigmen.]
[The two different species allied to eliminate you and Benben.]
[Benben died of exhaustion. You died of exhaustion.]
[Gobuda survived. He cut off your head and delivered it to Gobuba across the river.]
[Gobuba crushed your head and devoured Gobuda alive as he screamed.]
[As a transmigrator, your glorious life was abruptly ended by fate's cruelty. Your death facilitated the rise of two barbarian races. Your death was not in vain, but it held little significance. You were merely one of the multitudes, with minimal impact on this world.]
[Simulated life ends. Score: 60.]
[Please choose one of the following rewards:]
[1. Consume five score points for +1 level.]
[2. Consume five score points for +5 attributes.]
[3. Consume ten score points for +1 charm.]
[4. Consume ten score points to increase the level of "Wind Blade" by +1.]
Many Goblin underlings had already evolved into High Goblins.
Remaining as an ordinary Goblin would be detrimental to leadership.
[Consume 10 score points, level +2.]
[Consume 50 score points, level +5.]
[Your level has increased to level 15.]
"Does leveling up beyond level 10 require ten score points per level?"
As Li Meng pondered, a wave of intense pain engulfed his body.
