"Boss, Benben is just big, not dumb!"
Li Meng's hearty laughter echoed through the forest. Although Benben didn't match Li Meng's aesthetic taste, the fact that Benben wanted to have little Goblins with him made Li Meng happy. It showed that Benben really liked him, and being liked was always better than being disliked.
In the following days, the two traveled north. After leaving the Goblin Forest, they ventured deep into the Ogre Mountains. It took another two days to reach a peculiar ring-shaped mountain. The mountain formed a natural fortress, with a lake inside and numerous caves on the rock walls.
At the entrance of the canyon outside the ring-shaped mountain, Li Meng and Benben gazed at the entrance not far away, a crack about twenty meters wide.
Benben let out a deafening roar towards the mountain, the sound echoing through the heavens and earth.
Soon, the inside of the ring-shaped mountain was in an uproar, with roars resounding continuously.
Amidst the thundering footsteps, a large group of Ogres charged out.
Since it was daytime, the Ogres dared not come out. When they were less than thirty meters from the two, the Ogres hesitated, looking at Benben with fear. Such a massive figure, that was the true Ogre King.
"Get... get out of here, this is the territory of the great Ogre King." The leading Ogre mustered the courage to step forward, brandishing a stone club and roaring at Li Meng and Benben.
Li Meng grinned, making a hand gesture like a gun.
A stone bullet formed in the glow of magic, shooting out. The stone bullet instantly crossed dozens of meters, hitting the Ogre's head.
A hole appeared in the Ogre's massive head, and with a spray of blood and brain matter, its huge body collapsed to the ground. This scene made the other Ogres show fear.
Li Meng looked at the Ogres with a fierce expression, "Don't block the way, you bunch of trash!"
Facing Li Meng's intimidating gaze, the Ogres fearfully stepped aside.
"Benben, let's go, let's have a good fight."
Benben chuckled, "Roar roar," and the two of them headed towards the entrance of the ring-shaped mountain.
"Boss, I still like it when you call me that!" Benben said, looking down at his boss as they walked.
"Because when you do, you seem as silly as Benben, roar roar!" Benben laughed heartily.
"Benben, do you know what role-playing is?"
"What do Goblins look like to you?"
"Ugly and silly little things!"
"If a Goblin became as smart as a human, what would you do?"
"I'd remember it, then kill it."
"So, as your boss, I can be strong, but not too smart."
A Goblin, no matter how strong, would only be remembered. People would think that Goblin was strong and be cautious. But if a Goblin became as smart as a human, it wouldn't just be remembered.
If during the encounter with the Papal State, he had acted more like a Goblin, maybe it wouldn't have triggered the Papal State to form a crusade army. Li Meng suspected that the Papal State's formation of the crusade army was provoked by him, as he acted too unlike a Goblin then, making the Papal State see him as a huge threat.
"Roar roar, boss, you're really smart!"
"Of course, otherwise how could I be your boss."
The two seemed quite leisurely as they ventured deep into enemy territory, completely ignoring the Ogres watching them intently.
"Boss, I smell it, it's inside." Benben pointed to a large cave as they entered the ring-shaped mountain.
"Let's go in and take a look!" Under the watchful eyes of the Ogres, the two entered the cave.
The cave was somewhat dark and smelly. As they walked, a larger space came into view. It was like a cave dwelling, with water, a small stream flowing, and many stalagmites standing. On a relatively flat area not far away stood a huge figure.
[Demonic Ogre (Elite)]

[Body Regeneration: LV4]
The skills it possessed were no different from ordinary Ogres, with only the Body Regeneration skill.
"You dare come here, I'll kill you!" A roar echoed in the cave as the nearly six-meter-tall Demonic Ogre charged with a massive spiked club. The club was rusty, clearly a weapon prepared for it by the demon tribe.
Li Meng extended his hand expressionlessly, blue magic power surging, quickly forming a water ball. The next moment, a one-meter-diameter water ball shot out, smashing into the Demonic Ogre's head.
The Demonic Ogre's head exploded like a smashed watermelon, and its massive headless body crashed to the ground.
Although Ogres had strong anti-magic constitutions, it didn't mean they were immune to magic. Even though it seemed like a casual water ball attack, the power of this move was comparable to King rank magic.
In this world, magic is divided into seven levels: lower, middle, upper, King rank, Saint rank, Emperor rank, and God rank. Swordsmen and mages are also divided into seven levels: lower swordsman, middle swordsman, upper swordsman, Sword King, Sword Saint, Sword Emperor, and Sword God.
Swordsman is a general term for melee professions, and warriors using any weapon can be called swordsmen. The phenomenon of dual cultivation of sword and magic also exists, such as the Paladin. Paladin is a title, not a profession rank.
The magic hierarchy is lower mage, middle mage, upper mage, King rank mage, Saint rank mage, Emperor rank mage, and God rank mage. Depending on the element they specialize in, they have different titles. For example, a King rank mage who can use King rank water magic would be called a Water King rank mage. One who specializes in fire magic would be called a Fire King rank mage.
These are the things Xiao Bai taught Li Meng.
The commotion in the cave lasted only a short while. Soon, under the terrified gaze of the Ogres outside, Benben dragged the headless body of the Demonic Ogre out.
Outside the cave, Benben swung the massive headless body, sending it flying and rolling to the feet of the Ogres.
"From now on, I'm your boss, got it?" Benben stood tall, glaring at the Ogres with a commanding presence.
From the entrances of various caves, more large heads peeked out. They were all Ogres, numbering no less than a hundred.
The Ogres nodded fearfully.
