Chapter 355: Chapter 355 Temporary Cooperation

"Look, how great it is, I found this place for you. I should have redeemed myself for my mistakes," Gu Fan spoke calmly, but he was nervous. He didn’t want to end up dead, after all.

Leng Le also broke out into a sweat for Gu Fan. If the boss got the idea to kill, no one could stop him.

The tense standoff took a turn when the boss suddenly broke into a hearty laugh, all signs of a murderous look vanished.

Seeing the boss’s reaction, Gu Fan knew he had dodged a bullet once again.

"I knew I had not made a misjudgment about you, Gu Fan. You really did it," the boss said, looking around, "Thank you for finding this place for me. Now we need to figure out what it is."

Gu Fan was taken aback, "Aren’t you created by the Eternal Life Clan? Don’t you know what this place is?"

The boss shook his head, "I’ve only heard them mention a holy land, but what and where it is, I am not privy to."

Lu Yi gestured towards the machine bug’s head and asked, "Is such a high-end machine a creation of your Eternal Life Clan?"

"I don’t know. The Eternal Life Clan hasn’t shared many of their secrets with me." The boss regretted, "If I had known, I wouldn’t have wiped out the Eternal Life Clan so quickly."

Lu Yi posed another question, "If this is a spaceship, then aren’t you aliens who traveled here on this spaceship?"

"Having imagination is a good thing. But I can say with certainty, the Eternal Life Clan is not alien," the boss replied firmly. There were footsteps coming closer.

Hai, Cui Qi, and others arrived. They had a tracker to locate the boss, but to Gu Fan’s surprise, there was a resident from the ancient town with them.

"What’s going on?" Gu Fan was curious about the developments. According to the boss, he saw someone falling from the sky and rescued him using his skills, then learned about the route to the Heavenly Palace.

"You’re impressive and the leader, we follow your lead now." It was evident from Gu Fan’s admiration that he was ready to cooperate.

The boss reciprocated by patting Gu Fan on the shoulder and speaking sincerely, "We’re going to have to rely on you to uncover the secrets here. Don’t worry, I’ll take care of any danger and trouble."

"With you around, I am indeed reassured. But our supplies are running out and won’t last for long," Gu Fan’s face revealed a troubled expression. Even if the boss was highly skilled, he still wasn’t capable of conjuring food and water out of thin air.

The boss quickly dismissed his worry. "Don’t worry, we brought enough food and water with us to share with you guys."

"In that case, I am greatly indebted to you." Gu Fan was disturbed by the thought that their survival now depended entirely on the boss.

At this point, Hai removed his mask and asked sternly, "Where is Jie?"

Gu Fan answered, "We split into three groups. Jie is in the third group, but I don’t know his exact location."

"What, you split up into groups without considering the risks! Have you considered the danger Jie is in?" Hai lashed out furiously, putting Gu Fan on the defensive.

Quickly, Lu Yi intervened, "Jie and Lin Xi are in one group. With Lin Xi around, there’s a low chance of anything bad happening."

Upon hearing this, Hai seemed slightly relieved. He was aware of Lin Xi’s capabilities.

"Okay, let’s not waste any more time." The boss stood on the city wall, touching the wall to find it very sturdy. Even with his strength, he had trouble penetrating it.

"What kind of material is this made from?" The boss was astonished, recalling how hard it was to destroy the mechanical bug due to its strong structure.

The boss wanted to move forward. Gu Fan and the others, lacking his confidence, didn’t dare to follow him closely and were waiting for his invitation.

As per Gu Fan’s understanding, if there was indeed a defense mechanism, it wouldn’t just be a simple mechanical bug. Who knows how many traps there were set up and how deadly they could be!

At this point, Gu Fan was worried about the safety of the other two groups. The second group included Su Hui and Zhuo Hang and with Zhuo Hang protecting Su Hui, he could be rest assured. The third group had Lin Xi, ensuring everyone’s safety. That was the reason why Gu Fan had made such groups.

The reason why Gu Fan grouped himself, Leng Le, and Lu Yi in the first group, without any strong defense, was that he believed they were responsible for the riskiest tasks, as the others came to save him and Leng Le. Another reason was that he took a gamble and won.

The only person Gu Fan felt guilty about was Lu Yi, who had to risk his life following him. As for Du Jun and Qin Jia, Du Changhui had insisted that each group should include people from both sides.

At this point, Lu Yi sincerely sighed with relief. "Thank goodness, the boss came just in time, otherwise, we would have been done for. We are really lucky."

"What if it’s not that simple?" Gu Fan casually looked around, pretending to inspect the environment.

Lu Yi was puzzled, "What do you mean? Do you know something?"

"No, I didn’t discover anything. I was just thinking aloud." Gu Fan appeared to be examining their surroundings and skillfully changed the topic, persuading Lu Yi to do the same.

At this moment, Gu Fan remembered how he had experienced ancient traps and mechanisms in Qianye Ancient City and seen more in movies and TV shows; imagining what kinds of high-tech traps could be setup in this place, he didn’t even dare to guess.

The most essential thing for them now was water and food. Gu Fan was observing the men with the boss to identify who was responsible for managing the food and water.

Gu Fan didn’t want to be around this devil forever, constantly restrained and afraid all the time. Who knows if the boss would strike once all was done?

Suddenly, the boss in the lead stopped, his face grim. He seemed to notice something wrong and gestured for everyone to stop.
