Chapter 29: Silent Change

Old Liu was right behind Chen Bugu at this moment, and he threw something.

Chen Bugu reached out his left hand and caught it steadily.

Lianxin Crossbow equipped!

Chen Bugu's strength rose to 35 points.

The arrowhead of the Crossbow already equipped in the arrow slot instantly turned red.

A spark ignited from the arrowhead.

Enchantment!

Fire!

There was no time to aim, and no need to aim.

At this moment, the Goblin Berserker had already arrived in front of him.

A red light flashed on the Lianxin Crossbow in Chen Bugu's hand, and the bursting arrow instantly pierced the Goblin Berserker's left eye.

Flames instantly ignited in the Goblin Berserker's brain.

The huge wooden club that had been swung up ultimately did not fall.

Chen Bugu watched as the standing monster slowly fell backward.

He won!

Previously, he had asked Old Liu to go into the forest and retrieve the Lianxin Crossbow; fortunately, it finally arrived in time.

Lin Lin quickly ran to Chen Bugu.

At this moment, Chen Bugu was leaning against the tree trunk.

His right arm had a comminuted fracture, his right calf bone was broken, and he had multiple injuries all over his body.

His face was pale, his clothes were soaked with sweat and blood, and he looked disheveled, but his expression was calm.

Lin Lin hurriedly used Holy Light to treat Chen Bugu.

"You're... you're so badly injured."

Lin Lin's Holy Light turned into a beam of light, emanating from her hand and enveloping Chen Bugu.

The moment he was illuminated by the Holy Light, Chen Bugu felt the pain in his body lessen, and his entire body suddenly became numb.

Meanwhile, Lin Lin was surprised by Chen Bugu's injuries.

After casting Holy Light, she clearly felt Chen Bugu's physical condition.

The injuries were very severe; in addition to multiple fractures, his internal organs were also affected.

Old Liu landed beside Chen Bugu, looking at him with eyes full of worry.

"You pushed yourself too hard!"

Chen Bugu was too weak to speak, only managing a bitter smile.

Before this, when Chen Bugu asked Old Liu to get the Lianxin Crossbow, Old Liu, seeing Chen Bugu's broken right arm, had already advised him not to continue fighting and to leave it to them.

But at that time, Chen Bugu said with firm eyes,

"If we don't fight, then we die."

"I will die, and you will all die."

"From the moment we entered this forest, we no longer had a choice."

Old Liu also understood that Chen Bugu was telling the truth.

Currently, in the team, Bai Ting, Lin Xiaoxiao, and he were the strongest; if he couldn't stop it, then everyone else who went up would also die.

But at this moment, seeing Chen Bugu's miserable state, Old Liu still felt that this young man was pushing himself too hard.

After Chen Bugu absorbed the energy from another Goblin Berserker, he felt a little better.

He slowly raised the Lianxin Crossbow in his hand and handed it to Old Liu.

Old Liu understood Chen Bugu's meaning; he took the Lianxin Crossbow, pulled out the Crossbow that hadn't been damaged by the enchantment from the Goblin's corpse, and then flew towards the last battlefield.

Wang Bin and Lin Ye had already rushed over after seeing Chen Bugu was still alive.

Chen Bugu was not worried.

The last Goblin Berserker, Bai Ting, with the help of the others, would definitely be able to kill it.

It was finally over. Chen Bugu felt a bit tired, and he slowly closed his eyes to rest.

He didn't know how long had passed when he suddenly felt a few warm drops on his still-conscious left arm.

Chen Bugu opened his eyes in confusion, finding Lin Lin treating him while tears streamed down her face.

Chen Bugu was stunned!

What was wrong with this girl!

Chen Bugu didn't know, nor did he want to speak, so he just looked at Lin Lin in confusion.

"I'm sorry, I just got scared, you're... you're too seriously injured."

Lin Lin turned her head and wiped away her tears with her hand.

"We could die at any moment, couldn't we?"

Lin Lin's voice was choked with sobs, clearly terrified by the battle.

Chen Bugu suddenly understood.

Although the previous battle in the tunnel was also thrilling, because everyone was always prepared in advance, even if they were injured, it wasn't serious.

Lin Lin just thought it was a nightmare.

And now, after realizing that they couldn't go home even after leaving the tunnel, everyone suddenly discovered that this nightmare wouldn't end.

Coupled with seeing Chen Bugu's current miserable state, Lin Lin's psychological defenses collapsed; fear and helplessness overwhelmed her.

Chen Bugu reached out his left hand, wanting to wipe away Lin Lin's tears, but then suddenly felt it might be inappropriate.

So, his outstretched hand remained frozen in mid-air.

"What's wrong? Do you want to take something?"

Lin Lin looked at Chen Bugu extending his left hand towards her, momentarily confused.

"Nothing, I just wanted to help you wipe away your tears, but I was afraid you'd hit me."

Chen Bugu said with a smile.

Lin Lin hadn't expected this answer and suddenly burst into laughter through her tears.

"It's alright, I promise you, we will survive."

Afterward, Chen Bugu's raised left hand was lowered again, and Chen Bugu closed his eyes, continuing to recover.

Lin Lin nodded and continued to use Holy Light to treat Chen Bugu.

She looked at Chen Bugu, and for a moment, she actually found this man somewhat handsome.

Then she reacted and felt a bit embarrassed and annoyed.

Chen Bugu, however, did not notice Lin Lin's little thoughts; he rested with his eyes closed, recovering while thinking.

But Lin Lin's state did remind him; should he reveal more information?

Also, he needed to review this battle.

Chen Bugu hadn't expected to encounter such a battle less than a day after awakening his dual abilities.

He was still too careless.

Because of the informational advantage brought by rebirth, coupled with the start of dual abilities, Chen Bugu hadn't realized that he had become a bit overconfident.

He almost forgot how many people died in the Starting Forest in his previous life.

If he had immediately become vigilant and led everyone to retreat after discovering the abnormal frequency of Goblin appearances...

If he had immediately activated Bullet Time and killed one Goblin Berserker at the fastest speed, regardless of anything else...

Chen Bugu exhaled deeply.

He had figured out his problem.

He was too reliant on his advantage as a reborn person, leading to a restless mindset, even some arrogance and lucky, almost forgetting that in his previous life, he only managed to leave this forest thanks to the protection of others.

"Chen Bugu, oh Chen Bugu, how dare you?"

If he continued with his previous mindset, he would probably die here sooner or later, let alone try to obtain that legendary weapon.

When Chen Bugu reopened his eyes, he had already decided to make some changes.

He didn't know if it was the calming effect of Lin Lin's Holy Light, but this time he understood many previously Ignored problems.

At this moment, Bai Ting's battle had also ended, and everyone slowly walked back together.

Bai Ting also seemed to be injured.

After the Goblin Berserker went berserk, Bai Ting was instantly ambushed at close range.

Although he tried his best to dodge, his left hand was still grazed by an iron nail on the wooden club, leaving a huge wound.

Later, Yan Kuan and Lin Xiaoxiao timely joined the battlefield, using Earth Element and Mind to continuously harass the Goblin Berserker, which gave Bai Ting the confidence to continue fighting the berserk Goblin Berserker.

Later, Wang Bin, Lin Ye, and Old Liu, holding the Lianxin Crossbow, all joined the battlefield.

The Goblin Berserker then fell into weakness because its berserk state ended, and it was finally killed when Bai Ting pierced its head with a lightning javelin the size of a fist.

Lin Xiaoxiao gasped when she saw Chen Bugu's miserable state.

After discovering the Goblin Berserker's corpse on the ground, Bai Ting and Yan Kuan also understood what had happened.

However, the moment he saw the Goblin Berserker's corpse, Bai Ting's pupils suddenly constricted, then returned to normal.

He looked at Chen Bugu, his eyes complex.

"Lin Lin, he's not going to die, is he?"

Lin Xiaoxiao walked up to Chen Bugu.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm still alive."

Chen Bugu blinked, indicating that he was not dead yet.

"But we have to leave immediately; there's a Goblin gathering place nearby, and we must return the way we came right away."

Chen Bugu finished speaking and looked at Bai Ting.

He knew that the poker-faced man's next sentence would definitely be, "How do you know there's a Goblin gathering place nearby?"

Chen Bugu was even considering secretly giving Bai Ting the nickname "Ten Thousand Whys."

However, this time, Bai Ting said nothing, only nodded and asked,

"Can you still walk? Or should I carry you?"

Bai Ting's reaction made Chen Bugu stare in surprise, and even Yan Kuan and the others didn't react.

"I haven't set his bones yet, I still need some time. Is your injury alright?"

Lin Lin asked, looking at the huge wound on Bai Ting's hand.

"It's fine. Then I'll carry him, you continue to treat him, and let's leave here first."

Bai Ting spoke to himself, walked over to Chen Bugu, carried him onto his back, and then walked south.

"Ow, ow, ow! Big brother, be gentle."

Everyone exchanged glances and quickly followed.
