I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 68 Enduring Hardship

"What's that? Do you see it? A wild boar!"

Zi Yi waved to the prisoners.

"If you do a good job today and chop even more meat than yesterday, I'll give you wild boar meat tonight!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"Understood!"

The prisoners, who were originally slaves, cooperated readily and immediately agreed, swinging their axes with even more force.

To Li Mosi's surprise, the two prisoners were originally regular employees.

They had ulterior motives yesterday, but today they readily agreed.

Li Mosi looked at the scenery using the "Joyful Mountains and Waters" feature.

"Planning".

Okay, I'm still not being honest with myself.

But that's normal.

Zi Yi turned around and pointed to six goblins: "Fish Leg, Long Ears, Scarred Back, Sprained Ankle, Loves to Eat Insects, and you, the Coward. The six of you carry the wild boar back, and when you get back, help the new elder with some chores."

"Yes, Chief!"

Six goblins took the wild boar and lifted it up.

Zi Yi then pointed at the battle goblins: "You ten go back to training. The rest of you continue gathering."

The goblins agreed and made their preparations.

Li Moss also plans to return to the tribe.

Before leaving, he reminded Ziyi, "Be careful not to let them get away."

Zi Yi nodded vigorously: "I understand, Master."

Li Moss led the saintess and goblins back together.

They returned to the tribe just before lunchtime.

Li Mosi pointed to the wild boar, then to the ground, signaling the goblins to put it down.

The six goblins responsible for carrying the boar quickly turned sideways and threw it down.

Thump—

As soon as the wild boar landed, the six goblins responsible for carrying it also plopped down on the ground, wiping the sweat off their bodies.

They glanced at Li Mosi and started squeaking loudly.

"Why won't the new elders let us take turns carrying the loads and rest?"

"How should I know! Go ask him!"

"I'm so tired, I want to sleep."

"What exactly are the new elders doing?"

"We don't speak human language, and he doesn't speak our language either."

Taking advantage of the language barrier, they directly criticized Li Mosi's behavior.

It turns out that on the way back, the combat goblin carrying the spear thrower and the harpoon was planning to take turns carrying the load with six other goblins.

However, this was stopped by the new elder, Li Mosi.

The two sides communicated for a while, but ultimately nothing was reached.

The six goblins continued to carry the wild boar from the foot of the mountain back to the tribe halfway up the mountain.

Now, six transport goblins are resting on the ground, while ten combat goblins have gone to call out the goblins in the tribe who are cooking.

The goblin cooking and the six goblins squeaked a few more times, then squatted down and began to butcher the wild boar.

"Master, you're back so soon?"

Zi'an walked over from the field to greet Li Mosi, who looked at the wild boar with curiosity.

It's hard to imagine her hunting efficiency being that fast!

Unless you happen to run into a wild boar!

Suddenly, Zi'an noticed something: "Why is its leg broken?"

The saintess spoke up: "It was broken by that pole that threw the stone, the one that knocked you unconscious two days ago."

She looked Zian up and down as she spoke.

The bear-beastman is really tough.

"ah?!"

Zi'an looked on in disbelief.

"Really?"

Li Mosi nodded: "Really."

He had prepared so many tools, but Zi'an and the slave-catching team still survived, with only four suffering from fractures.

I don't know how many factors were underestimated.

Judging from this hunting experience, at least Koyasu's ability to withstand blows was underestimated.

The bear-beastmen are really tough!

Seeing Zi'an tentatively touching his head, Li Mo thought of something.

"Tell your prisoners that if they do better than they did yesterday, they can have fresh wild boar meat tonight."

"Huh? Are you really going to give them meat? You might as well give it to me."

Zi'an was very surprised by these words, and was clearly still dissatisfied with what had happened in the past.

The saintess chimed in, "Thieves have no right to eat meat."

Zi'an felt like she'd been stepped on: "Who are you calling a thief! You stupid woman!"

"Okay, stop."

Li Mosi raised her hand to interrupt their conversation.

"Those three donkeys we're raising now, if you just whip them, they'll stubbornly refuse to work. You have to show them the rewards of their work, then they'll be more motivated."

Giving only carrots is foolish, giving only sticks is tyrannical.

The two are more effective when used together.

Zi'an seemed to recall those donkeys for a moment, and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

She walked back to the edge of the field and shouted to the prisoners, "Work harder today! If you do more than yesterday, I'll reward you with wild boar meat!"

"yes!"

"Understood!"

After giving a brief answer, the prisoners continued working.

Zian's words did not elicit much of a response.

She seemed indifferent as she turned and walked away.

Take it or leave it.

Seeing Zian walk away, Soth couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"One morning isn't enough to hunt wild boars, especially a bunch of goblins. They probably just picked up a dead wild boar and are trying to eat us to death."

Upon hearing this, Lasso, who was standing next to him, slapped him on the back of the head.

Snapped!

"Aww!"

Soth curled up in pain.

He turned to look at the captain, his voice trembling with pain: "Captain, what are you doing?"

Lasso gritted his teeth and continued loosening the soil, cursing as he worked: "Damn it, Soth, why are you daydreaming so much?! Where are you going to find corpses to scavenge in the fall?"

Autumn is the season when prey is plump, but the appetites of wild beasts are even more insatiable.

If a wild boar dares to die there, brown bears and wolves will immediately come and eat it.

Picking up dead ones?

Where can I find it?

Lacas chimed in, "I really want to go back and throw you into the pigsty to be rooted up by the pigs. The captain already said we only need to wait a couple more days, can't you just shut up? Do you have to get Enlian slap you again before you'll behave when you're sleeping upright?"

Lasso had similar thoughts, but he still wanted to maintain the team's relationships.

He thought for a moment, "When we eat later, we can tell if the wild boar is normal or not by smelling if there's fresh meat. Let's get back to work. Lacas, you keep quiet too. Don't let the slaves hear what I'm telling you."

"Yes, Captain."

The prisoners responsible for loosening the soil chatted idly, as did those responsible for pulling weeds.

"Kaken, how long has it been since we last ate meat?"

Kaken continued pulling weeds, then turned to look at his companion with a puzzled expression.

Before he could speak, another prisoner laughed and said, "Wasn't it the day before yesterday? When Lady Enlian became that person's mentor?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot. So, are we going to get some meat today?"

Kaken interjected, "Lady Enlian wouldn't lie to us. But how much we do doesn't matter; it all depends on those loosening-the-soil ladies."

Four wounded slaves pulling weeds looked at the people loosening the soil.

It does seem a bit faster.

The first slave to speak swallowed hard. "Gulp. I think I smell meat."

……

"This is disgusting!"

The saint gritted her teeth, showing complete resistance to the food in front of her.

"Hiccup~" Zi'an swallowed the food. "This offal smells so good, it's disgusting. Where did you come from, you piece of trash? You can't even eat properly."

"You! Oh—cluck cluck~"

"Zi'an! Pinch her nose for me! Hold your breath, it'll be over soon!"

Just as the saintess was about to turn around to confront him, Li Mosi seized the opportunity to pinch her cheek, then called Zi'an over, pinched her nose, and poured the liquid down her throat!

This isn't Vatican territory; you'll have to endure hardship whether you want to or not!

"Keep an eye on her, make sure she doesn't throw up."

After feeding Hagi Saint the wild boar offal soup, Li Moss then approached the six resting transport goblins.

He beckoned: "Come here."

These goblins have to be able to endure hardship.
