NOVEL WEB Chapter 233: Feast
The breeze blew on the flowers of the Mad Poison Herb drenched in blood, and also on the clothes of the nearly two hundred corpses scattered across the Desert, making them sway up and down.
Lin Yue stood in front of the bodies, experiencing quite a complex mix of emotions.
Taking out so many Survivors at once—no, they should be called "raiders" now—saying that he felt nothing would be impossible.
After all, he wasn't some kind of monster. To remain calm in front of so many corpses was not an easy task.
At that time, beside the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, he opened it just a crack to confirm that those outside had finally rushed past. Only then did he mount Bai's back and soared into the sky from within the Ancient Secret Realm Gate!
He had pondered countless questions while still inside the gate.
To him, these people were undoubtedly enemies.
Whether dozens or hundreds, the number of enemies no longer mattered.
Those harboring such malice towards his Shelter were destined for this fate—to be killed by him.
If he hesitated or indulged in some naive thoughts like "Why can't we sit down and talk" or "They have families too."
Then it would have been him lying on this Desert now, not those greedy demons.
Levik exploited the dark side of humanity, using his Shelter to amass nearly five hundred people.
Their target was him.
He possessed a massive amount of resources and an even larger Shelter than anyone in this Otherworld, and these attracted the rabid wolves, making them flock to him.
After swiftly dealing with these people, Lin Yue looked at their corpses, feeling a sense of unreality.
From the moment he learned of their arrival until now, more than a day had passed, and he had long foreseen their outcome.
Yet, when faced with their bodies, an indescribable feeling made him uncomfortable.
"This is survival of the fittest," Lin Yue finally concluded.
Moths are always moths; they get burned when they plunge into flames.
In the future, Lin Yue knew his name would again reverberate among all Survivors aware of this event, telling them he was indeed the strongest in this world!
He raised his head and looked into the distance.
Xing Lingfeng and the others who had left were already dark spots at the edge of his vision.
Though they had their own selfish motives, they did not just stand by, nor did they stay in their Shelters. They gathered a group of over three hundred people to come help him.
Although they didn't actually help, Lin Yue felt the intention was enough.
Upon their departure, Lin Yue also learned that apart from the Refugee Villages of Xing Lingfeng, Fei Yue, and Liu Kai, several other Refugee Villages sent many to assist in the action.
He added those people as friends, thanked them, and agreed to supply them with fruits and vegetables, provided their Refugee Villages could find what he needed.
As for the Refugee Villages of Xing Lingfeng and the other two, Lin Yue naturally prepared some gifts.
Each Refugee Village received 10 bottles of wine and three large watermelons.
These things would be nothing on Earth.
But now, they were more precious than gold.
Hard currency, what is hard currency?
This is hard currency!
He had taken out a large amount of wine from the hotel's cellar; giving away just thirty bottles didn't even make him blink.
The watermelons, he couldn't possibly eat them all, and since the greenhouse was in a burst of fruiting, he just sent them out.
Though termed as "gifts," it proved his approval of their proactive help in guarding his Shelter.
Of course, these people would likely remember this day.
If anything happened again in the future, they would be the first to rush over.
Though Lin Yue doubted anything could threaten his existence.
In short, the relationship had become a bit closer, and that was good.
"Three hundred plus ran away...but they probably won't come out of this Ancient Secret Realm Gate again, as long as they aren't stupid." Escaping with over three hundred was not too few, but Lin Yue's purpose was never to annihilate them all.
[You have gained 1 cubic meter of Storage Space]
[All items from the original Storage Space will be synchronized and merged into your Storage Space.]
"How many Storage Spaces will I end up with?"
Lin Yue collected the Storage Space from the corpse in front of him, quite satisfied with the spoils.
What he lacked was Storage Space.

After gathering 12 consecutively, Lin Yue directed Bai and Xiao Meng to pile the bodies together.
Digging a pit large enough to bury them would be impractical; it would be easier to set a big fire to end it all.
Yet Bai did not follow Lin Yue's instructions.
It kept watching the sky, seeming to sense something, and suddenly, it soared into the sky!
What happened?
Lin Yue immediately looked at the sky and saw Bai flying towards the south, where a dense mass was approaching!
What on earth is that?
"Gawu!" Bai's roar was filled with intimidation and warning, as its silhouette rushed in that direction with utmost speed!
Lin Yue realized the danger, grabbed his spear, and was about to collect a few more Storage Spaces when he noticed several large holes had appeared on the ground dozens of meters away, from which the ugly heads of numerous Lizardmen popped up!
Great, they timed it perfectly, huh?
Xiao Meng swiftly charged out, but the Lizardmen were faster, closing the holes again. After Xiao Meng rushed elsewhere, they reopened the holes.
Lin Yue looked up again and saw Bai already engaged in combat with the swarm of dark flying creatures, black shadows constantly falling from the sky.
Yet, Lin Yue also noticed Bai was fighting and retreating, buying itself plenty of time to withdraw!
"Tch, a sneak attack, huh!" Lin Yue shot a Burning Arrow at a Lizardman bracing itself on the edge of a hole about to throw a Stone Axe at him, setting the hole ablaze, then darted towards the Refugee Village at top speed!
The corpses attracted both the creatures from the sky and lured the Lizardmen.
"Xiao Meng!"
Xiao Meng decapitated a third Lizardman, aware of the tough battle ahead, and followed Lin Yue towards the Refugee Village.
In the air, Bai fought and retreated; it couldn't handle the overwhelming number of winged creatures, though it managed to knock them out of the sky with its continuous Ice Qi.
Yet more attackers kept coming!
Some even dived towards the ground, heading right for the corpses Lin Yue, Bai, and Xiao Meng had felled.
Bai looked at the ground again, seeing its master within a hundred meters of the Refugee Village, then immediately veered downward.
Now wasn't the time for fighting!
The white dragon rushed toward the Refugee Village; without its interference, the creatures of the sky and the hundreds of green-scaled beasts on the ground began feasting on the corpses!
