Chapter 253: Landlubber

Gu Yunzhou's lips curled up slightly, revealing a scornful smile as he stared intently at the other person's awkward expression. He couldn't help but sneer inwardly, "Hmph! These young masters from aristocratic families are so used to living a life of luxury that they can't even ask for help. They really think they have so much face!"

In Gu Yunzhou's eyes, so-called status and position are nothing but fleeting clouds. In a life-or-death situation, being able to put aside dignity and save one's life is the most important thing.

This person, clearly groveling inwardly, yet still feigning aloofness, is truly ridiculous. This self-contradictory, ambivalent behavior is nothing more than looking for trouble.

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou no longer hesitated. He suddenly raised his foot and kicked Gu Tianchao who was standing on the shore.

This sudden attack shocked Gu Tianchao. He instinctively wanted to resist, but he was injured and his movements became slow and weak.

In the end, with Gu Yunzhou's powerful kick, Gu Tianchao was kicked into the cold and deep pool of water without any suspense.

There was a loud "plop" sound, and water splashed everywhere. After falling into the water, Gu Tianchao struggled desperately to float to the surface, but due to his severe injuries, his body was completely unresponsive.

A few mouthfuls of icy water instantly poured into his mouth and nose, causing him to cough violently and look extremely miserable.

Gu Yunzhou stood quietly on the shore, watching Gu Tianchao's predicament with great interest. Seeing him thrashing around in the water and choking repeatedly, a hint of satisfaction appeared on his face.

After admiring enough, Gu Yunzhou nodded contentedly, then jumped into the deep pool and swam towards Gu Tianchao like a fish into water.

After entering the water, Gu Yunzhou suddenly felt a chill. Without thinking too much, he was the first to grab Gu Tianchao who was still struggling.

"Cough cough cough..." Gu Tianchao coughed violently, gasping for breath, looking extremely miserable. At this moment, he had no time to care about anything else. The instinct of survival drove him to hold on to Gu Yunzhou tightly with both hands, as if he was his only lifeline.

A trace of fear remained on his face, his eyes wide open, filled with fear and uneasiness about the unknown waters. Seeing Gu Tianchao's panic, Gu Yunzhou finally realized, "You can't swim?"

After finally stopping his cough, Gu Tianchao finally regained some composure. When he heard Gu Yunzhou's slightly doubtful question, his anger instantly flared up again. With his eyes wide open and a face full of indignation, he shouted at Gu Yunzhou, "Why should I know how to swim? With such a refined character, who would bother learning to swim?"

His words were filled with resentment, and his tone was harsh and impulsive, clearly showing his extreme dissatisfaction with Gu Yunzhou's kick that had just sent him into the water. If he hadn't been fully aware that his own strength was far inferior to Gu Yunzhou's, Gu Yunzhou would have been beaten up by the enraged Gu Tianchao.

Gu Yunzhou suddenly realized that he had made such a basic, common-sense mistake. He had heard the other person speak so confidently and decisively before, so he had assumed that he was as proficient in swimming and diving as he was. But he had never expected that the person before him was actually a complete landlubber!

Thinking of this, Gu Yunzhou couldn't help but shake his head, chuckling bitterly. "The most important thing right now is that we have no spiritual energy left, yet we have to go underwater. Can you really hold out in this state? I think you might suffocate to death halfway through!"

Gu Yunzhou was too lazy to bother with these details and simply threw out the most core problem at hand. After all, for Gu Yunzhou, it didn't matter whether Gu Tianchao was dead or alive. The problem was that he held the key clue to leaving this place.

This was precisely why Gu Yunzhou was feeling quite troubled. Furthermore, at this moment, even he himself lacked any Wen Qi and was, at best, just an ordinary mortal. It was only because of the long-term influence and shaping of Wen Qi on his body that he was able to persist in diving a little longer than ordinary people.

But even if it gets longer, there is still a time limit. If he can't find the place that Gu Tianchao mentioned, then he will really be trapped to death here.

The most tragic thing in this world is not being imprisoned in a dark and hopeless world; what is truly painful is knowing that there is a way out in front of you, but you cannot get out no matter what.

Just when his thoughts were in a mess, Gu Tianchao finally responded: "It's okay, according to relevant records, this place is not far away, you just need to dive about a hundred meters. At that time, a transparent light shield will appear, and then you just need to follow the method I told you, and you can enter it smoothly!" At this moment, Gu Tianchao knew very well that this was not the time to care about what happened just now, so he could only suppress his anger and answer.

Hearing this, Gu Yunzhou breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, and then continued, "That's great. A distance of over a hundred meters, if you're fast enough, it should only take about ten breaths. I just wonder if you can successfully escape once you enter that light barrier?"

Gu Tianchao sneered dismissively. His once handsome face was now filled with mockery. He said without disguising it, "Hmph, don't even think you can get out easily. Once you enter, a formation will appear inside. This formation is the real passage to the outside world. If you want to get out, you have to take me with you!"

Gu Yunzhou sighed regretfully, and then he calmed down his expression. He pretended to be heartbroken, shook his head slowly, and said in a heavy tone: "Alas, Master Gu, although your brain is not very good and you always do stupid things that hurt others and do not benefit yourself, you should not use your dark thoughts to speculate about others all day long! Look at me, I am clearly an impeccable five-good young man!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he patted his chest solemnly, putting on an extremely confident and unquestionable look. Seeing this scene, Gu Tianchao felt the corners of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

To be honest, sometimes he truly admired Gu Yunzhou's shamelessness. After all, this guy could actually say such shameless and brazen words so confidently and logically, as if it were natural.
