I led the Goblin Culture to victory.

Chapter 7, Night 1

Bang, bang—

Li Moss gently separated the peeled oak log with an iron axe, obtaining a roughly rectangular piece of wood.

This is the bow blank.

After Li Mosi finished, he looked at the bow blank.

perfect.

He can't chop wood; it's all muscle memory from the original owner.

Li Mosi just felt that he could do it, and her body subconsciously started doing it.

Recalling the knowledge in the original owner's mind, he held up the bow blank in front of Zi Yi: "Look, if you want to make a bow, you have to make the wood like this first."

"it is good."

Zi Yi took the timber and examined it. Li Mosi then said, "You need to distinguish between the side facing you and the side facing outwards. The side facing you is called the 'bow belly,' and the side facing outwards is called the 'bow back.'"

"Ah!" Ziyi exclaimed in sudden realization, "The side closest to the bark faces outwards!"

Li Mosi didn't speak, but Zi Yi continued excitedly.

"When I tried to do it before, some of them broke easily when I pulled on them; those were because I had reversed the positions of my arched back and abdomen!"

Li Mosi nodded: "You're right."

Different parts of a piece of wood have different structures.

Their resilience is naturally different as well.

Next, Li Moss used ink blocks to draw a side view of the bow on the side of the wood.

After drawing the design, he picked up the iron dagger: "Remember, try to only cut the side facing you."

Zi Yi nodded: "Yes, only cut the belly. I'll remember that, Master."

Li Mosi pressed the dagger against the inside of the wood and began to scrape it.

Swah——

Swah——

Seeing the serious expressions on the faces of the master and apprentice, the old goblin looked away.

He glanced at the sky; the sun was already beginning to set.

The old goblin approached the pile of branches in the corner and picked up a branch.

The next moment, the branch in his hand was set on fire.

Soon, the old goblin lit a fire inside the cave.

The crackling of the campfire and the leaping flames brought the saintess, who was gazing up at the sky, back to her senses.

How could this be...?

How dare you do this...

Although she came to her senses, she still felt powerless.

So much so that when her head came back to normal from its tilted-back position, it looked as if it had been smashed down.

Even his eyes remained unfocused and lifeless.

Swish—swish—

She could only vaguely see a man and a goblin squatting on the ground, making the sound of scraping wood.

This guy actually taught goblins how to make bows?

The saintess had seen many fine bows.

Some craftsmen even went so far as to spend their entire fortune and effort to make a bow just to see her.

According to those craftsmen, making a bow requires many kinds of materials and decorative patterns, and it often takes several years to complete.

What's the point of making a bow at this time?

She can't understand!

And what use would a goblin have for a bow?

With that little power they possess, can they even make good use of it?

Although her heart was filled with anger and doubt, after several struggles, the saintess had fully understood her situation.

She just stared at Li Mosi and Zi Yi with a vacant look, muttering to herself.

The arch gradually took shape, and sunlight no longer shone into the cave.

A rustling sound approached from outside the cave entrance.

The sound attracted the attention of the four people inside the cave.

Zi Yi explained, "They must have brought food."

"Don't worry about it."

The old goblin, having said this, leaned on his wooden staff and walked toward the cave entrance.

In the end, he blocked the entrance to the hole.

"Elder, this is food."

"Eat first, then you can leave."

"Yes."

Tap, tap,

The squeaking of goblins, the clanging of pottery, and the sounds of swallowing porridge-like food echoed outside the cave.

After a while, the creaking sound resumed.

"Walk."

"Yes."

As the rustling sound faded away, Li Mosi saw the old goblin bring in a wooden tray with two iron bowls and two ceramic bowls on it.

The old goblin handed the two iron bowls to Ziyi and Li Mosi, and picked up the ceramic bowl himself.

Zi Yi looked at the two iron bowls and subconsciously glanced at the old goblin: "Grandmother."

Call me Elder.

The old goblin calmly corrected him, then spoke to Li Mosi.

"Master, I have already had the goblins test the poison."

Li Mosi didn't stand on ceremony and picked up the iron bowl to drink.

This bowl contains a whole pot of mixed ingredients.

It is made primarily of unknown beans, supplemented with mushrooms and wheat, and mixed with a small amount of fatty meat.

It's so rough it hurts your throat.

But those with fatty meat eat better than the average citizen.

Li Mosi quickly finished her drink, wiped her mouth from the edge of the rice paper, and nodded with a smile: "Not bad."

"snort--"

Suddenly, a pig squealed from inside the cave.

Li Mosi looked up and saw the Holy Maiden in the direction from which the voice came.

At that moment, she lowered her head and gritted her teeth.

Why does taking a deep breath through your nose make this sound?

They made her look like a pig!

no no.

It's all the goblin's fault for stuffing vines into her mouth.

It's all the man's fault!

If he hadn't used that expensive fabric to wipe her mouth, she wouldn't have acted like this!

Li Mosi felt somewhat confused.

This saintess was relatively normal at first glance, when she didn't speak, but she acted a bit strange afterwards.

However, judging from her condition, she seems to be doing quite well.

Never mind, I'll eat my fill and continue making bows.

……

rustling --

"Boss, boss, the food delivery guy is back."

Inside the original large cave, hearing the approaching footsteps, the goblin sitting by the cave entrance jumped up and shouted.

The strong goblin simply sat there lazily and said, "I understand."

Inside the cave, led by a strong goblin, a dozen or so goblins, all with round bellies, were resting against the cave entrance wall, their faces beaming with genuine smiles.

They were clearly very full.

Other goblins didn't have it so easy.

They sat in various parts of the cave, their bellies bulging, but their faces didn't look too comfortable.

Although they can eat their fill, most of the time they just drink water to fill their stomachs.

I feel nauseous right now.

Watching the goblins delivering food enter the cave, the strong goblin asked, "What are they doing?"

"Boss, I don't know." The goblin delivering the food shrank his neck slightly. "The elders didn't let me in."

The strong goblin shouted, "What can that old man still do?!"

This shout drew the attention of all the goblins in the cave.

It grinned exaggeratedly and continued, "They just want humans to help the leader's child, but what do those two humans know? Can they teach the leader magic?!"

The leader's magic is something he can use from birth!

"That's right, that's right."

"When it comes to hunting, you still have to rely on the boss!"

"Only the boss's spear can travel the farthest!"

The underlings located on one side of the cave entrance all chimed in.

Judging from their appearance, they seemed to be acting from the heart.

……

"Ugh."

As she worked, Li Mosi sighed.

The light from the campfire was too bright.

It hurts your eyes, and you can't even see the details.

If the bow is destroyed, all our work today will have been for nothing.

But now is a race against time, and Li Mosi can't put this off until tomorrow.

Ziyi knew this, but he didn't have any good solutions.

Li Mosi stood up and walked around the room.

He spotted the beehive immediately.

It was a beehive that had been almost completely hollowed out, with only a small piece of honey remaining.

Beeswax is also considered a fuel, isn't it?

Yes, in the original owner's memories, this was a valuable item that only lords could use frequently.

Li Mosi recalled a video of beekeepers using beeswax to build nests and handed the iron bowl used for eating to Zi Yi.

"Please fetch me a bowl of water."
