Half an hour later, people prepared to bury the dead.
Since the remains couldn't be identified, Chen Bugu suggested digging a large pit and burying everyone who died at the hands of the Goblins together.
As for the fragments of clothing and shoes, the deceased's family and friends could take them if they wished; otherwise, they would be buried together as cenotaphs.
Because there were no shovels or other tools, Yan Kuan ultimately used his Earth Element to help dig the large pit.
People slowly piled the remains into the pit, then used their hands to scoop dirt and fill it in.
Once the pit was filled, Chen Bugu dismantled the Goblin's wooden hut, carried a few logs, and inserted them in front of the pit to make a simple tombstone.
If one day, someone could return here, perhaps they could come to pay respects.
After completing these tasks, Chen Bugu approached Bai Ting and others, taking out two items from his Storage Ring.
Rapid Wind Dagger: White grade weapon, Strength +5, Speed +5, Quantity x4, Attached effect: Bleeding.
Goblin's Bone Staff: White grade weapon, Mental Power Limit +30, Attached skill: Energy Shield.
Energy Shield: Generates an energy shield around oneself, Mental Power required: 10; Skill Cooldown: 10 minutes.
Chen Bugu handed the Cold Iron Dart to Lin Xiaoxiao; these four Cold Iron Darts had fallen into Lin Xiaoxiao's hands after Ding Wenli's death, and she had given them to Chen Bugu earlier. Moreover, this type of thrown weapon was indeed more suitable for her to use in conjunction with her Mind.
The Cold Iron Dart came from Ding Wenli; he was now a corpse, Han Badou having repeatedly stabbed his heart with the Wind Gale Dagger dozens of times.
Lin Xiaoxiao was initially hesitant, truthfully, she wasn't very keen on having Ding Wenli's weapon, but she also knew that now was not the time to be sentimental.
Thus, under the control of her Mind, the four Cold Iron Darts floated from Chen Bugu's hand and then landed in Lin Xiaoxiao's hand.
Lin Xiaoxiao held them and examined them, discovering that these darts became as light as paper when inactive, which was convenient, so she simply put them into her pocket.
As for the Goblin's Bone Staff, it came from the Goblin Shaman.
Currently, Wang Bin, Lin Ye, Lin Lin, and Yan Kuan still didn't have weapons.
As for Bai Ting, Chen Bugu automatically Ignored him; that stoic man's "Electric Blade" was even sharper than his own Wind Gale Dagger, so why would he need another weapon?
Regarding Yan Kuan, the Goblin's Bone Staff would suit him, but he had already been given the green-grade Boots of the Earth last time, so he probably felt awkward and explicitly stated he didn't want this weapon this time.
That left only Wang Bin, Lin Ye, and Lin Lin.
Although increasing mental power limit was also very useful for Lin Ye, after Lin Ye broke through to Black Iron Three Stars, his Sheep Attribute could currently summon at most two Black Iron lower-grade Sheep Family magical beasts at a time, and a battle at this stage rarely lasted longer than five minutes, so his mental power was temporarily sufficient.
As for Wang Bin, he had always clamored for a great sabre, so he naturally had no interest in this staff-type weapon.
Finally, everyone decided to give this bone staff to Lin Lin.
The "Energy Shield" skill could provide an extra layer of protection for their team's healer, and everyone felt it was appropriate for Lin Lin to have this bone staff.
In the past few days, everyone had realized Lin Lin's importance.
Taking the Guanzhou team as an example, although their team had a wood-attribute Awakened who could generate some healing spiritual fluid through skills, the healing effect of that spiritual fluid was generally mediocre, and the healing cycle was longer, far inferior to Lin Lin's Holy Light.
After distributing the weapons, Chen Bugu was about to ask Han Badou to take him to find the yun ling fruit tree when he suddenly realized that "Monkey" and the others were still kneeling.
Lin Xiaoxiao's Mind had been released, but with Chen Bugu standing there, none of them dared to run.
Everyone had witnessed Chen Bugu's fight against Ding Wenli.
After knowing that this man possessed an eerie, almost teleportation-like speed, "Monkey" felt that if he ran, he would probably die even faster.
"What about them?"
Han Badou had recovered from his sadness. He tied his sister's green jacket around his waist and pointed at the three, including Monkey, asking Chen Bugu.
The moment Chen Bugu killed Ding Wenli, everyone already understood that the person in charge of this place had changed.
"Did they do those things?"
Chen Bugu looked at Han Badou; he believed Han Badou must remember.
"There were two women; when Ding Wenli violated them, these three helped hold down their hands and feet, and after Ding Wenli finished, they also..."
Chen Bugu reached out and interrupted Han Badou from continuing.
"Monkey" immediately realized the situation was bad when he saw Chen Bugu's instantly darkened face and quickly began kowtowing.
"I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong, Elder Chen, please let me go, please let me go, I will definitely turn over a new leaf and be a good person from now on."
"Monkey" spoke with a crying voice, appearing very sincere.
The two behind him, seeing this, also followed suit and quickly begged for mercy.
"Letting you go, it's possible."
Chen Bugu spoke halfway, and the three were delighted to hear it, but when Chen Bugu's next sentence came out, their faces turned ashen, and their eyes looked at Chen Bugu as if he were a demon.
"But I don't think that's necessary."
Chen Bugu turned and gestured to Lin Xiaoxiao. Lin Xiaoxiao understood his meaning, and her Mind activated again, pressing the three firmly to the ground.
Lin Xiaoxiao had already broken through to Black Iron Four Star, so now it was very easy for her to pin these three people down.
"Are the relatives or friends of those two women still here?"
Chen Bugu turned to the people from Guanzhou and asked faintly.
Only their silence responded to him.
"They're dead, all dead. They were killed on the spot."
It was Han Badou who spoke. The husband of one of the women was killed by Ding Wenli right before her eyes.
Chen Bugu was silent for a moment, then walked forward, and amidst the three's continuous pleas for mercy, he expressionlessly delivered a fatal stab to each person's heart.
This stab seemed to pierce the hearts of everyone watching. They watched Chen Bugu kill these three people before them as if he were casually stepping on three ants, and at this moment, they actually felt this man was somewhat terrifying.
After killing the three, Chen Bugu put away his Dagger, walked back to Han Badou's side, and said,
"Let's go, Ba Dou, it's time for you to take me to find the yun ling fruit."
Chen Bugu walked away after speaking, and Han Badou quickly followed.
"Were you a killer before?"
"No, why do you ask?"
"Then you must have killed quite a few people before, right?"
"No, just a few."
This sentence made Han Badou pause. He initially thought Chen Bugu was either a secret agent or a killer before the Great Disaster, as his killing movements were too skilled, and he was too indifferent when killing, seemingly lacking reverence for life.
"What kind of people were those few?"
"Just like Ding Wenli and them, they were all beasts who didn't deserve to be called 'humans'."
The look in Han Badou's eyes towards Chen Bugu changed again.
