Five minutes later, the battle ended, and all the Goblins were killed.
Chen Bugu was very satisfied with the outcome of this battle, and Ding Wenli was also very satisfied.
Chen Bugu utilized his Wind Gale Dagger in conjunction with Fireball to engage in close combat with the Goblin Berserker, while Bai Ting launched long-range lightning attacks throughout the entire process, and Lin Xiaoxiao was always able to momentarily halt the Goblin Berserker's offensive at critical moments.
The three cooperated with each other, performing exceptionally well, and completed the kill of the Goblin Berserker without taking any damage.
At Lin Xiaoxiao's strong insistence, she delivered the final blow, which was very clean and decisive.
Ding Wenli and Xue Ke, as expected, also dealt with their opponents.
The others, still leveraging their numerical advantage, cooperated to encircle and attack the Goblins, breaking their limbs.
As for the Goblin archers, with Yan Kuan's Rock Barrier protection, their arrows did not pose much of a threat.
Ding Wenli had already begun to harvest the spoils of others' battles; it seemed he and Xue Ke were taking turns.
Of course, Yan Kuan, Lin Ye, and the others still completed their own kills, holding nothing back.
When Ding Wenli walked over to "Monkey," Monkey leaned in and whispered.
"Captain, it's a good thing you talked me out of it last night, otherwise I would have suffered a huge loss; I didn't expect those people to be so strong."
Ding Wenli patted "Monkey" on the shoulder and smiled.
He was very satisfied with the strength of Chen Bugu and the others.
Three Black Iron Three Stars, and the rest were basically Black Iron Two Star.
According to his observation, among the Black Iron Three Stars, the man in the white suit had a lightning ability, and Lin Xiaoxiao's ability should be some kind of control.
As for Chen Bugu, he was just a fire user, but the dagger in his hand was quite interesting; it seemed capable of bursting forth with great speed.
Among the remaining Black Iron Two Stars, there was an uncle who could summon, a man who could fly, a fat man who could control earth, and another idiot who played with fire...
Ding Wenli felt extremely comfortable inside.
This team was just strong enough; they wouldn't pose a threat to him and Xue Ke, yet they could serve as excellent pawns.
"I didn't expect you all to be so strong; with your addition, we are truly like tigers with wings."
Ding Wenli finished off a Goblin, clapped his hands, and walked towards Chen Bugu.
"Hmph, they're just three Black Iron Three Stars."
Xue Ke scoffed from not far away.
"Apologies, everyone, my brother here always becomes so arrogant after using Kuang Hua (狂化); it's just the skill's effect. He means no harm, please don't take it to heart."
Ding Wenli hastily apologized for Xue Ke, but the smile on his face did not diminish, indicating that he didn't actually care about Xue Ke's offense towards Chen Bugu and the others.
"It's alright, Brother Xue is indeed very strong."
Chen Bugu wanted precisely this effect, so he naturally wouldn't get into any disputes with Xue Ke.
After a few polite exchanges, the group set off again, heading towards the Goblin camp.
Ten minutes later, everyone hid in a thicket of bushes; they could already see the Goblin tribe.
Yan Kuan and the others, seeing a Goblin tribe for the first time, all gasped.
This wasn't because they discovered how many Goblins were guarding the place, but because they saw some simple wooden houses.
The Goblin tribe was on a large open space, with some wooden stakes driven into the ground, and vines wrapped around them to form fences.
Inside the fences, there were four wooden high platforms, with several Goblins holding bows and arrows looking around from above, clearly serving as sentries.
Below the high platforms were large pits filled with some murky liquid.
And those wooden houses, though their design was very crude, looking like some trees were haphazardly piled together to simply form a triangular dwelling, were still far more comfortable than what the group, who had been sleeping under the open sky with the ground as their bed every night, was used to.
They had always heard Chen Bugu say that these Goblins belonged to an intelligent race, but it was only at this moment that they truly understood why these Goblins deserved to be called "intelligent."
"Ahead is the gathering place of those monsters; I have a plan I'd like to discuss with everyone."
Ding Wenli bent down and approached Chen Bugu, then waved to Han Badou.
"Allow me to introduce everyone, this is the strongest reconnaissance master in our team, Han..."
Ding Wenli only spoke half his sentence, seemingly forgetting Han Badou's name, so he turned to look at Han Badou, who had just run up to him.
"Badou, my name is Han Badou."
Han Badou instantly understood Ding Wenli's meaning and quickly stated his own name.
"Yes, don't look at little Brother Badou's young age and only Black Iron One Star, but his ability is extraordinary; he can detect monsters within a 100-meter radius centered on him."
"Just now, we ascertained the strength of that group of monsters. There are still four of the large Green-skinned monsters like the ones we killed earlier, and as for the smaller ones, their number is around thirty."
"This is what I'm thinking: with the main camp being stolen, we don't know if those monsters will call for reinforcements, and there's no need for us to fight them to the death. It's best if we just get the food and leave."
"So, when the time comes, Xue Ke and I will distract those large Green-skinned monsters outside, and the others will deal with the smaller ones. Brother Chen, you three can take the opportunity to rush into the large wooden house in the center of the tribe, collect the food, and once you come out, we'll retreat. How does that sound?"
Ding Wenli pointed to the largest wooden house in the center of the Goblin tribe not far away, and without waiting for Chen Bugu and the others to react, he unilaterally stuffed three backpacks onto them.
He believed Chen Bugu had no reason to refuse him, as his proposal had no downsides for Chen Bugu's group.
Moreover, the strongest, Xue Ke and he, had already voluntarily taken on the combat roles, so it wouldn't be right for the three Black Iron Three Stars below them to let those with weaker strength take the risks, would it?
"Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate? How about we help you kill those monsters first?"
Chen Bugu tried to decline.
"Or how about this: let Lin Xiaoxiao help us outside? How about that? We'll try our best to hold them off, and you come out once you've got the food?"
Ding Wenli inadvertently glanced at Lin Xiaoxiao and, seeing that she didn't object, his mind was instantly at ease.
To be honest, Lin Xiaoxiao had a beautiful face and a graceful figure, and it was clear she had a somewhat fiery personality. This type was exactly what Ding Wenli liked; conquering such a woman would make him feel more desire.
"The information about the monsters inside won't be wrong, will it?"
Chen Bugu still showed some concern and looked at Ba Dou.
"Don't worry, our little Brother Badou would never make a mistake on information like this."
Ding Wenli quickly patted Han Badou's shoulder, saying with a fake smile.
"No, no, I won't be wrong."
Han Badou looked very flustered, shaking his head like a rattle, which made Chen Bugu's eyelids twitch.
"This kid, I don't know whether to say his acting is good or bad."
Chen Bugu couldn't help but complain inwardly.
"Alright, then Xiao Xiao will stay to help, and Bai Ting and I will go get the food. The rest will trouble Doctor Ding."
Chen Bugu smiled and extended his hand.
Ding Wenli was overjoyed inwardly but remained silent outwardly, shaking Chen Bugu's hand.
"Happy cooperation!"
