242: A tiny bit of special physical constitution
Gu Qinghan personally witnessed a piece of the phantom's body being torn off by the iron chain.
The sharp spikes at the tip of the chain were actually meant to tear souls!
"How could you..."
A voice came from the phantom, but it was clearly not Han Dongxu's voice.
However, Gu Qinghan had no intention of letting him go; the Sky Eye Skeleton's target instantly became Han Dongxu.
The dense rain of crossbow bolts now shot towards the same spot, creating a sense of blotting out the sky.
The huge phantom clasped its hands together, suddenly releasing an invisible ripple.
This ripple seemed to possess extremely strong impact, sending all the surrounding Temporary Workers and the crossbow bolts in the air flying.
Seeing this, Gu Qinghan sneered and said,
"Let's see how many times you can use this skill!"
This time, the Sky Eye Skeleton directly transformed entirely into Shadow Spear Skeletons, pointing their bone spears forward and charging again.
Gu Qinghan had already roughly understood the effect of the opponent's attacks on the skeletons.
The flames that could burn souls were aimed precisely at the soul fires in their eye sockets.
If burned for a long time, the soul fire would gradually weaken or even extinguish.
At that point, the skeletons would collapse.
The Shadow Spear Skeletons quickly rushed in front of Han Dongxu, but were pushed away by a strange force.
However, they still pierced through the phantom, creating holes in it.
Invisible flames rose again, but the Soul Scourger once again whipped out its iron chains, causing the phantom to ripple.
At the same time, the flames struggled a few times before dissipating, unable to affect the surrounding skeletons.
The attack methods the Flame Soul Demon could still use at this point seemed to be only the shockwave and the fiery long whip.
But these two attack methods posed no threat to Gu Qinghan; he could even rely on the Temporary Workers to tank them.
The Death Mutated Creatures' role in combat had become minimal, yet they could continuously provide cheap skeletons to join the fight in the Necro Realm.
The Flame Soul Demon's phantom was constantly torn and pierced, gradually becoming more ethereal.
Until one moment, the phantom suddenly collapsed in the air, revealing Han Dongxu within.
At this moment, Han Dongxu lay on the ground as if exhausted, surrounded by Gu Qinghan's skeletons.
He desperately summoned a few Demon Skeletons, but they were immediately shattered, turning into a pile of dry bones.
Gu Qinghan approached him, looking down and saying,
"You lost."
Han Dongxu looked up and glared at Gu Qinghan, two lines of bloody tears still on his face, but no longer from sadness.
He hated.
Despite having the same profession as Gu Qinghan, he was so easily crushed by Gu Qinghan.
And this outcome precisely proved his father's earlier judgment.
He truly was inferior to Gu Qinghan.
"Kill me, but you will all die in the end! Hahahahaha, you will all die!"
Han Dongxu roared hysterically, even gushing a large amount of blood from his throat.
Gu Qinghan decisively ended his life; the mission progress was halfway complete, and he almost leveled up again.
Piao Jun also jogged over, looking at the thoroughly dead Han Dongxu, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
His strength was comparable to Han Dongxu's, but he definitely couldn't have defeated Han Dongxu in that state just now.
If Gu Qinghan could kill the opponent, he could also kill him, perhaps even more easily.
Piao Jun was very grateful at this moment that he hadn't become Gu Qinghan's opponent and had chosen to cooperate with him.
"Shall we go? Most of the people here are dead," Piao Jun asked.
Gu Qinghan thought for a moment, then looked at the Maimed Demons still causing widespread destruction in the distance and said,
"Let's clean up these things."
He needed to charge the Giants Grasp through combat, and he also needed the corpses of these demons to extract Demonic Power.
Although Gu Qinghan still didn't know what this power could bring him, his intuition told him that since it existed, it must have its purpose.
But even after Gu Qinghan cleared out all the Maimed Demons nearby, the charging progress of the Giants Grasp had only just reached 80%.
Piao Jun walked over at this point and handed two storage rings to Gu Qinghan.
Gu Qinghan raised an eyebrow; he remembered only giving him one.
Piao Jun shrugged and said, "The other one contains the remaining supplies from this Conglomerate, but a fifth of it is various pickled kimchi and kimchi seasonings."
Gu Qinghan opened his mouth, unsure what to say.
This country truly had an almost obsessive love for this kind of food.
Piao Jun's action was clearly a sign of weakness and goodwill towards Gu Qinghan.
This was the action of a smart person; both of them understood this implicitly.
The three hurried towards the pier, and under the Crow King's super-fast speed, it only took about half an hour.
On the water, a row of speedboats was quietly docked, with people guarding them nearby.
Upon seeing Gu Qinghan and the others approach, these people immediately began to attack without a word.
Of course, in less than a minute, these aggressors became a pile of corpses.
"It's a pity my storage ring isn't big enough, otherwise I could take all these speedboats," Piao Jun clicked his tongue.
Then he watched Gu Qinghan insert the key for each speedboat into its corresponding slot.
Immediately after, all the speedboats disappeared one after another, until only one speedboat remained in front of them.
Piao Jun, with a accustomed expression, smiled at Gu Qinghan and walked onto it gracefully.
Gu Qinghan glanced at Meina and asked,
"Can you drive a speedboat?"
He had never encountered such a thing before, and Piao Jun didn't seem to know how either. If Meina also couldn't, he would have to learn on the spot.
Fortunately, Meina said she had learned how to drive a speedboat from a rich second-generation earlier.
Piao Jun leaned back in the speedboat's rear seat and casually said,
"Great, you, who have no combat ability, can be the driver, and the two of us will fight. The setup is just right."
But as soon as he finished speaking, he noticed Gu Qinghan staring at him.
He suddenly had an ominous premonition, sat up straight, and looked at Gu Qinghan warily:
"Don't look at me like that. If you have something to say, just say it directly. I'm mentally prepared!"
Gu Qinghan stroked his chin, looking at Piao Jun and slowly began:
"I forgot to tell you earlier, my constitution is a little special."
"How special?"
"It's just that weaker Mutated Creatures might not be interested in me..."
Piao Jun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, quickly patted the spot next to him and said,
"Brother, hurry up and sit over here. I thought it was a big deal!"
However, before the smile on his face had fully formed, he heard Gu Qinghan say the second half of the sentence:
"But if there are stronger Mutated Creatures, they might view me as a thorn in their side.
So, we might really need to be prepared for battle on the way."
Piao Jun pursed his lips, his expression changing repeatedly, finally settling into a smile uglier than a cry.
