Earlier, outside the array, Gu Yan had explained the specific plan to them.
So, they knew exactly what the plan wasā¦
And because they knew what the specific plan was, that's why they were completely confused now.
Because everything happening in front of them wasn't part of that specific planā¦
...
"Don't panic, don't panic!"
Though feeling very worried inside, Gu Zhentian still spoke up quietly but quickly.
Upon hearing this solemn declaration, Gu Miedi and the others relaxed a bit.
In the next moment, they turned to Gu Zhentian and spoke quickly, "Captain, whatā¦ what should we do now?"
"Right, Captain! Theseā¦ these four terrifying auras are coming towards us, we really need to prepare properly now, otherwise we're doomed!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Hearing such anxious and panicked words, Gu Zhentian's expression turned cold as he furrowed his browsā¦
In the next second, Gu Zhentian spoke with unparalleled iciness, "Panic my ass! We are family with Grandmaster Gu! Even if he harms anyone, he definitely won't harm us, right."
"Wellā¦ that sounds about right!"
After a brief thought, the three of them nodded gently!
Indeed!
They were family with Grandmaster Gu, so Gu Yan really had no reason to harm them.
"Looks like we were just scaring ourselves earlier!"
Speaking in such a soft whisper, they regained their composure once more!
Seeing them gradually calm down, Gu Zhentian also breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Gu Zhentian still felt a slight tension insideā¦
Because Gu Zhentian knew their emotions were only temporarily stabilized right now.
If things don't get better, they'll become tense again laterā¦
Understanding this, Gu Zhentian took a deep breath and silently muttered, "Please let nothing go wrong, really please let nothing go wrong! Otherwise, it will be truly disastrous!"
Mumbling this way, Gu Zhentian kept his eyes on those absolutely violent four auras.
Gu Zhentian realized they were still rapidly approachingā¦
...
"Damn!"
Witnessing this scene, Gu Zhentian cursed under his breath!
At the same time, Gu Zhentian's expression changed once againā¦
Taking a deep breath, Gu Zhentian began to shout furiouslyā¦
"Grandmaster Gu, are you crazy! It's us here, don't let these terrifying auras continue approaching, don't let them keep approaching!"
After such frantic shouting, Gu Zhentian's expression turned even uglierā¦
Because even such frenzied shouting had no effect; they were still crazily approaching.
"Captain, whatā¦ what's going on? Can it beā¦ is Grandmaster Gu actually targeting us?"
"Exactly!"
"What on earth is happening!"
Earlier soothed by Gu Zhentian, the three of them spoke in utter terrorā¦
At this moment, their bodies were trembling, and their scalps were tinglingā¦
Before, Gu Zhentian had calmed them down completely.
Now, they became tense once againā¦
Because they realized that these four increasingly close, violent auras were indeed coming for them.
"Shut up! All of you, shut up!"
Hearing their nervous inquiries, Gu Zhentian coldly growledā¦
After saying this, Gu Zhentian watched the four violent auras approaching closer, and shouted frantically again, "Gu Yan, are you planning to eliminate us completely?"
At this time, Gu Zhentian was fully convinced that these four absolutely violent auras were targeting them.
He didn't know why this was happening, so he speculated that Gu Yan aimed to get rid of him and everyone elseā¦
Hearing Gu Zhentian shout frantically, Gu Miedi and the others flinchedā¦
In the next moment, they muttered in distress, "Seemsā¦ seems like Gu Yan is truly planning to clean up and kill us too!"
Before, they were unwilling to believe Gu Yan would harm them, but now, they really thought it was possible, as everything currently showedā¦
Understanding this, they began to shout frantically as wellā¦
But it was utterly meaningless because such shouting was destined to be heard by no one, since they were now isolated in this arrayā¦
Outsideā¦
Gu Yan wore a smileā¦
The reason for this was that he felt the four violent auras had completely surrounded 'Xiaobei' and the othersā¦
"Xiaobei, you're really good at hiding, but it's useless! You still can't completely mask your aura, just a tiny bit of it and I can lock onto you! Just like nowā¦"
As he said the last words, Gu Yan excitedly rubbed his handsā¦
In his view, his plan had truly succeeded this timeā¦
...
"Damn you!"
So frantically growling, Gu Zhentian turned to look at themā¦
In the next moment, Gu Zhentian growled madly, "We don't know what's going on outside now, but Gu Yan has definitely decided to kill us, we need to unite now! Because only this way can we maximize our chances of survival!"
"Alright!"
Hearing Gu Zhentian's words, their eyes twitched slightly!
Very quickly, they nodded solemnlyā¦
They knew they really must unite now, otherwise they'll be completely done forā¦
Seeing them nod, a strange glint flashed in Gu Zhentian's eyes.
In the next second, he looked at the three and said, "That's right, now we're like grasshoppers tied to the same rope!"
After saying this, Gu Zhentian cautiously took out a black bottle from his pocket.
After taking it out, Gu Zhentian poured out three black medicine pills while they watched, somewhat reluctantly.
"Captain, what is this?"
As soon as the pills were poured out, they could smell a dense fragrance.
This intrigue led them to ask inevitably.
Hearing their question, Gu Zhentian spoke with a face full of distress, "Theseā¦ these are the medicines I've previously bought at a high price, made from various precious herbs, which I planned to use at critical moments. Now, we're facing life and death, I won't keep them anymore! Each of you take one."
"Wellā¦"
Upon hearing Gu Zhentian's explanation, they hesitated.
Because they worried there might be something wrong with these pillsā¦
No way to read minds!
They knew that although Gu Zhentian treated them well most of the time, in crucial moments, it might not be the case.
Just like Gu Yan, who seemed really good before, but now intends to eliminate them directly.
Seeing their hesitant appearance, Gu Zhentian's face instantly turned extremely grimā¦
Coldly chuckling, Gu Zhentian spoke expressionlessly.
"What does your hesitation mean? Do you not want to take them? Or do you think I've manipulated these pills somehow?"
Hearing Gu Zhentian's questioning, their eyes twitchedā¦
Very quickly, they spoke promptly!
"Captain, what are you saying!"
"Exactly, how could we doubt this!"
"Right, right!"
Seeing their denial, Gu Zhentian sneered and said, "Since that's not the case, why aren't you inclined to take them now?"
"Wellā¦ we just think they're very precious!"
"Yes, yes, yes! We can't bear it!"
"Correct!"
With his expression slightly softened, Gu Zhentian squinted his eyes.
"I know they're very precious; honestly, under normal circumstances, I may not have been willing to bring them out, but now we're facing a life and death situation!"
"Wellā¦"
After thinking it through slightly, they realized Gu Zhentian's words made sense, they were indeed facing a life and death situation nowā¦
"He probably shouldn't harm us at this moment because now we're really like grasshoppers tied to the same rope!"
Thinking this way, the three of them each reached out to take the black medicine pill in their handsā¦
