Chapter 254 Arrival

"Forget it, forget it. Since things have come to this point, let's not waste any more time. Let's go, Young Master Gu, let's move quickly and try to leave here as soon as possible!" Gu Yunzhou waved his hand, urging Gu Tianchao to set off quickly.

As soon as Gu Yunzhou finished speaking, he completely ignored the other party's face which turned as pale as paper in an instant, grabbed Gu Tianchao without hesitation, and plunged straight into the bottomless pool.

As they continued to dive, the light around them grew dimmer, as if the entire world was being swallowed by darkness. Behind them, Gu Tianchao clung to Gu Yunzhou tightly, as if grasping a lifeline, refusing to let go, making Gu Yunzhou's movements increasingly difficult.

Faced with such a formidable "burden", Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but feel a little helpless and annoyed. He fiercely pried the other party's arms from hugging him tightly, but unexpectedly, this move backfired. The next second, Gu Tianchao entangled him even tighter, making him as difficult to get rid of as an octopus.

In this way, Gu Yunzhou dragged this heavy burden and took great pains to finally dive to a depth of nearly 100 meters.

At that moment, Gu Yunzhou suddenly spotted a faint white glowing object looming in the water not far ahead. Due to the urgency of the situation, he didn't have time to think about it and swam as fast as he could towards the glowing object.

Gu Tianchao, who was following behind, was almost suffocating at this time. Seeing the mysterious light shield approaching, he had already started to roll his eyes and was almost fainting. Finally, he managed to regain a bit of consciousness and slightly loosened his arms around Gu Yunzhou.

Gu Yunzhou, who had a chance to catch his breath, immediately freed his hands and, following the method Gu Tianchao had told him before, quickly pressed three long keys and one short key in succession towards an extremely hidden light spot in the lower left corner of the light shield.

In an instant, only a slight twisting sound was heard from the light shield, and then a powerful and invisible force suddenly emerged, isolating the pool of water around them.

As the water slowly receded, the fresh air that made people feel extremely familiar and longed for seemed to fall from the sky and instantly filled the surrounding space.

Gu Tianchao opened his mouth as if he had found a treasure, greedily sucking in the hard-earned fresh air in big gulps. His hands, which had been tightly holding Gu Yunzhou due to nervousness, also completely loosened at this moment.

Gu Yunzhou quickly turned his gaze to the scene inside the light shield. To be honest, the scene inside was surprisingly simple—there was only a mysterious formation emitting a hazy glow, standing quietly within, and nothing else.

Yet, it was this seemingly ordinary thing that successfully blocked the surging water outside, demonstrating its astonishing power and wonder. No matter how many times Gu Yunzhou had witnessed such miracles created by the power of Wen Qi, every time he saw it, he couldn't help but feel deeply moved for the magical land of Tianxing Continent.

"What should we do now?" After hearing the coughing and heavy breathing sounds behind him gradually calm down, Gu Yunzhou stopped looking around and turned around to ask.

Gu Tianchao's face was pale and unsightly. He was already injured, and after the sudden shock of falling into the water, he had to hold his breath for a long time. This series of experiences had put tremendous pressure on his body. In fact, if it weren't for these unexpected incidents along the way, it wouldn't have taken them so long to reach the life-saving light shield.

But Gu Tianchao couldn't swim, and when faced with a life-or-death situation, fear made it difficult for him to control himself. So, subconsciously, like a drowning man grasping at a straw, Gu Tianchao clung tightly to the only "duckweed" that could offer him a glimmer of hope—Gu Yunzhou.

However, it was precisely because of Gu Tianchao's subconscious action that Gu Yunzhou, who should have been moving forward quickly, encountered a huge obstacle. The light barrier, which should have taken only a dozen breaths to reach, now took nearly three times as long to reach due to Gu Tianchao's delay.

If their bodies had not been baptized and transformed by Wen Qi, and had not possessed lung capacity far exceeding that of ordinary people, they would probably have been suffocated to death by the endless pressure of water before they even reached this place.

So Gu Tianchao was in a miserable state at the moment. His face was pale, and he felt weak all over, with a splitting headache and dizziness.

Especially the mouth, nose and previously injured areas, the pain and discomfort are unstoppable.

Gu Tianchao knew that he had to get out as soon as possible, otherwise he might really die without the Wen Qi and unable to open the Wen Palace to obtain medicine.

"First, stand in the center of the formation. Be careful not to step on the surrounding flags. Starting from the northeast, take three steps to the left, then two steps to the right, then one step back, and finally walk five steps straight toward the southwest. Once you reach that point, a formation point will appear. Next, you only need to inject your own Wen Qi into this formation point, and the formation will naturally be activated. Once the formation is activated, you can take me there, and I will enter the final key information, so that we can successfully escape from here!"

Gu Tianchao did not hide anything and told Gu Yunzhou the method of breaking the formation very directly. After all, the most critical step still had to be completed by him personally. Gu Yunzhou could not leave him alone.

A dark light flashed in Gu Yunzhou's eyes, and then he said with some embarrassment: "It still needs literary energy to open it, so we can only wait. My literary energy sometimes works and sometimes doesn't, I have to try a few more times!" After saying this, Gu Yunzhou shook his head helplessly.

After hearing what Gu Yunzhou said, Gu Tianchao neither refuted nor questioned. Instead, he sat down on the ground, completely disregarding his image. Then, with a blank expression and a cold demeanor, he replied, "As you wish!" He then covered his injured shoulder with his hand, closed his eyes, and began to rest.

Gu Yunzhou knew full well that the man before him dared to provoke him so brazenly because he was certain he wouldn't dare kill him. Otherwise, with his usual style, how could he be so arrogant and domineering?

However, Gu Yunzhou was not angered by the other party's words. He turned around calmly and slowly, and followed the method Gu Tianchao had said before, taking careful steps and walking forward step by step.
