234: Park Joon's plans

When Gu Qinghan reappeared in the hunting ground, he happened to see Piao Jun walking towards him with a face full of despair.

Behind him were several serious-looking guards, one of whom quickly spotted Gu Qinghan.

At this time, all the original obstacles in the hunting ground had been cleared, obviously to make it easier to discover Gu Qinghan's whereabouts.

Gu Qinghan had already prepared for battle the moment he appeared, and the Sky Eye Skeletons immediately fired a volley in that direction.

At the same time, five Death Swordsmen, wielding heavy swords, surrounded Piao Jun to kill him.

Piao Jun reacted immediately, letting out a strange cry and waving an invisible light, seizing control of a portion of the crossbow bolts.

But what was more interesting was that he only controlled the crossbow bolts in front of him, completely ignoring those shot at others.

Before screams could even erupt, Piao Jun used the crossbow bolts he controlled to pierce the throats of those people.

"I surrender, don't move!"

After killing these people, Piao Jun first quickly retreated a few steps, then raised his hands above his head and shouted loudly.

Gu Qinghan ordered his Death Swordsmen to stop, and asked with a sneer:

"Why are you helping me? Although even if you didn't help me then, I wouldn't have been in any danger."

Piao Jun first breathed a sigh of relief, then shrugged and explained:

"Because we are all descendants of Yan and Huang, we have the same blood flowing in our veins!

Stop, stop, stop! I'll tell you! Why do you have no sense of humor at all?"

Seeing that Gu Qinghan was about to act again, Piao Jun immediately became serious, pointed to his face and said:

"It's actually very simple, I think if there's one person who can take me back to Huaguo, that person can only be you."

Gu Qinghan showed a thoughtful expression; the other party's reason was not very sufficient.

However, before he entered the Necropolis, this guy did indeed hold back, otherwise it would have been much harder for him to kill those two Contractors.

How could a master of this level make such a slow-reacting mistake?

Piao Jun knew his reason wasn't enough to convince Gu Qinghan, looked at the entrance, and after confirming no one was coming, he continued:

"Actually, there's another reason, which is that I think everyone in this Conglomerate is crazy.

This hunting ground, at first I thought there were some Mutated Creatures inside, allowing people to hunt and improve their meals.

But as you can see, they're all living people inside!"

Gu Qinghan recalled the moment he first saw Piao Jun; it seemed this guy had taken a girl away at that time.

After he posed this question to Piao Jun, Piao Jun was a little stunned at first, as if he hadn't expected Gu Qinghan to have seen that scene.

But he had nothing to hide, and said to Gu Qinghan:

"This is easy to explain, because if I hadn't taken her, and let my subordinates take her, this little girl's fate would have been worse than death.

You might not believe me, but several people, including this little girl, have been placed by me in an adjacent house."

His expression was very sincere, but it still couldn't make Gu Qinghan completely let down his guard.

Gu Qinghan understood that the guy opposite him was a smart person, but smart people were also more dangerous.

Before he could easily control the other party, Gu Qinghan didn't want to associate with such a person.

"I believe you're a good person, but the risk of taking you back far outweighs my gains.

You can stand here and talk to me so casually, you must have your trump card, right?"

Piao Jun also nodded, but he didn't give up directly, and said to Gu Qinghan:

"You have a reason to take me back, otherwise you can only stay in this place."

"Are you threatening me?"

Gu Qinghan narrowed his eyes slightly, and subtly glanced at the entrance of the hunting ground.

Piao Jun simply removed all the crossbow bolts he controlled and said:

"No, you know that Kimchi Country and Huaguo don't share a border, right?

Although theoretically you could go back by land, the danger would only be greater."

Gu Qinghan nodded, but still calmly said:

"I can fly back, you don't need to worry about that."

Piao Jun looked at Gu Qinghan with a strange gaze, thought for a moment and said:

"If it's that large black bird from yesterday, I suggest you forget about it.

The airspace over the sea is almost all restricted now."

Gu Qinghan pondered for a while, and asked with some uncertainty:

"Is it because seabirds have attacked passing flying creatures?"

"No, seabirds haven't been seen for a long time; this phenomenon is caused by some mutated sea fish.

Can you imagine that anything flying overhead will definitely be shot down by endless water columns?"

Piao Jun's words made Gu Qinghan fall silent; if that was the case, he really had no solution.

The Crow King's flight altitude was limited, and he dared not gamble.

Gu Qinghan always remembered his physique, which was disliked by Mutated Creatures; if he didn't fall into the water, he could still conceal it with the effects of Peach Blossom Spring, but entering the water would almost be directly feeding the fish.

After a long while, Gu Qinghan looked at Piao Jun and asked:

"You want me to take you back, do you have a way?"

If the other party wasn't absolutely confident, he wouldn't show such goodwill towards him.

As expected, Piao Jun quickly nodded and said with great certainty:

"I have an item that can guarantee we won't be attacked by Mutated Creatures at sea, but there will be a ten-minute vacuum period between two uses.

What you need to do is to hold out with me during each ten-minute interval.

Actually, if I didn't think I'd be a bit too stretched alone, I wouldn't have come to you."

Gu Qinghan thought for a moment, then asked again:

"Then how do we leave? We can't swim back, can we?"

"Don't worry about that, we'll go directly to the port then. I know the Conglomerate has speedboats docked there. If all goes well, we can be back in six hours."

Gu Qinghan looked at Piao Jun, who had planned everything, and felt a bit more trust.

It seemed this guy had been planning this for a long time.

At that moment, he said, "Then let's go, let's just fight our way to the dock."

Piao Jun looked at him as if he were an idiot and said:

"The Conglomerate's speedboats all have anti-theft measures, you need keys, big brother."

"Then where are the keys?"

"They should be with Chairman Han, who is the true controller of this Conglomerate, Han Dongxu's father."

In an instant, Gu Qinghan and Piao Jun stared at each other, and the atmosphere became incredibly awkward.

Gu Qinghan opened his mouth, unable to even complain for a moment, and could only sigh and say:

"So you only had a rough plan, and nothing was actually implemented, right?"

Piao Jun chuckled, covering his embarrassment:

"Finding you and confirming cooperation is the first step, otherwise, even if I stole the keys, I couldn't go back."

Gu Qinghan thought for a moment, and indeed that made sense, so he prepared to discuss the detailed steps with the other party.

Just then, Piao Jun suddenly became serious and asked Gu Qinghan:

"Since we've confirmed our cooperation, could I ask you for a small favor?"

"You go first."

"Do you have any Huaguo food on you? I eat kimchi every day, I'm almost pickled!"
