Seeing Gu Yunzhou approaching, Gu Tiaochao's eyes flashed with a strange look. He pretended to be vigilant and slowly retreated behind him, but his eyes were looking at him provocatively. As if to say, "Come here if you have the guts!"

"Hmph, stop playing tricks here! Do you really think I can't see through your little tricks? You want to lure me into your trap that is so crudely made that it can be seen through at a glance? Please, do you think I'm blind? It's such an obvious trap, I'm afraid only you and those simple-minded idiots will fall for it!" Gu Yunzhou's mouth corners curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and he was not affected by Gu Tiaochao's provocation at all.

After teasing Gu Tiaochao enough, Gu Yunzhou suddenly stopped walking and stood there quietly. He turned slightly to the side, a hint of a smile on his lips, and his eyes fell on the ground not far behind Gu Tiaochao with interest. At the same time, he clicked his tongue and shook his head with a hint of disdain.

Seeing this, Gu Tiaochao's expression instantly changed. His eyes uncontrollably glanced towards a certain spot behind him. He thought to himself, "Is it really that obvious?"

You have to know that, due to the limited materials available, he had already done his best to successfully set up such a trap, which was extremely difficult. In fact, as early as when he had not found Gu Yunzhou's body along the way, he knew that this time would not be smooth sailing, so he prepared for the worst-case scenario early on - carefully setting several similar traps along the way.

After all, he was in this area where there was no culture at all, and he could only rely on these seemingly insignificant tricks to achieve the effect of taking the enemy by surprise and catching them off guard.

However, what he never expected was that Gu Yunzhou would be so shrewd. Not only did he see through the traps one by one and cleverly avoid them, but he also followed him closely like a shadow all the way to the underground river.

"As the saying goes, it's impolite not to reciprocate. Since you have been so hospitable for so long, now it's my turn to repay you!" Gu Yunzhou was still saying this with a smile, and the next second he suddenly appeared beside Gu Tianchao, swung the bluestone slab in his hand with great force, and hit the other person on the forehead.

Gu Tianchao's pupils suddenly constricted at this sudden attack, his eyes revealing extreme shock and disbelief. He pondered, "How could Gu Yunzhou still be able to mobilize his Wen Qi? You know, once you enter this place, everyone's Wen Palace will be sealed, impossible to open! Could it be that... he's been hiding his strength all this time?"

As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Tianchao fell into deep self-doubt. He was so dazed and absent-minded that he was completely unable to come up with a response plan in the first place.

However, time would not stand still because of his astonishment. In the blink of an eye, the huge bluestone slab was rapidly approaching, and it continued to grow larger in Gu Tianchao's eyes.

Seeing that it was about to hit his head, Gu Tianchao finally came to his senses at the critical moment. But it was impossible to completely avoid it at this time. He could only try his best to slightly turn his body to prevent the bluestone slab, which was as big as an ordinary person's head, from hitting his vitals directly.

The next second, a crisp sound of bone breaking was heard, accompanied by bursts of endless screams. Then Gu Tianchao fell to the ground, covering his shoulder with his hands. One of his hands hung unnaturally, and there were bloodstains on his face from being wiped by the bluestone slab.

"It was cut quite quickly, but it doesn't matter, let's try again!" Gu Yunzhou raised his eyebrows. As expected of the prodigy of the Gu family, his reaction was quite good. He launched a surprise attack and used the Wen Palace's literary energy that he had finally connected with. Even so, Gu Tianchao was able to avoid the vital parts and only suffered damage to his shoulders and arms.

"Stop! You absolutely cannot kill me! I am the only one who knows how to get out of this horrible, God-forsaken place. Do you really think I stumbled into this underground river by accident? If you still want to leave here alive, you must not take my life!"

Seeing that the bluestone slab was about to fall again, Gu Tiaochao suppressed his scream and spoke hurriedly.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the bluestone slab that was originally close to his forehead gradually moved away, revealing Gu Yunzhou's somewhat suspicious face.

"Tell me the details. If I find out you're just making this up to fool me, don't blame me for being ruthless. This bluestone slab in my hand isn't just for show!"

After saying this, he calmly put the bluestone slab in his hand aside, but his eyes never left the other person for a moment.

This is a great treasure. It can resist hidden weapons and can beat people. The only flaw is that this bluestone slab does not contain any literary aura. But even so, it is perfect in other aspects.

Meanwhile, Gu Tiao gritted his teeth, suppressing the urge to curse. He struggled to move his body, trying to find a more comfortable position, and then slowly sat down on the ground.

At this moment, the severe pain coming from his shoulders and arms continued to torture him, as if millions of ants were gnawing at him.

It looked like most of his bones had been broken. This despicable guy was really cruel when he attacked!

Gu Tianchao lowered his eyelids, a murderous look in his eyes flashing away. He then raised his head and spoke indifferently, "Once, somewhere, I accidentally glimpsed an autobiography left by an ancestor. At that time, I just casually flipped through it as an absurd story. After all, the experiences described in it were too bizarre and strange to be believed. But unexpectedly, by chance, I accidentally stumbled into this place, and was even more surprised to find that many details were completely consistent with the records in that person's autobiography. Only then did I become convinced that the ancestor must have set foot here!"

Speaking of this, he gnashed his teeth in hatred when he thought of the culprit who had gotten him into this situation. His father had clearly said that although there would be one or two flaws, it would still be okay if used with caution. How come when it came to him, he ended up with a fool who didn't understand orders.

But Gu Tianchao didn't think about it. What Gu Jin said was to use it with caution, which meant that once this ritual formation was activated, too many sacrifices could not be made at once, otherwise the outcome would be tragic.
