Chapter 197 It’s rude to come and not return.
"Gentlemen, you are really too kind! In fact, we are all in almost the same situation now. To be honest, those people standing over there were my companions before..." After Wu Ke sighed softly, he slowly began to tell the whole story.
"How could there be such a despicable and shameless villain in the world? Moreover, this person is actually the legitimate son of the Yang family, and his actions can be so cruel!" Zhu Chenxu couldn't help but frowned after hearing this, with anger and contempt written all over his face.
"Hey girl, I have to admit, your luck is ridiculously bad! How did you end up with such an unreliable group of guys on this adventure? But thankfully, God has eyes and favors the good. As the saying goes, 'God blesses those who are lucky.' No matter how big the difficulties and setbacks are, you'll definitely be able to turn danger into safety in the end! Look, now we're on the verge of successfully clearing the level, and those damn guys can only stare helplessly from the sidelines. Just thinking about it makes me feel so relieved! Hahahaha..."
Jiang Liunian suddenly felt like he had found a soulmate, thinking to himself: It turns out I'm not the most unlucky person in the world. This girl is just like me! So, he instantly developed an extremely strong feeling of sympathy for Wu Ke.
"Even so, I don't think this level will be difficult for them. A little thought will reveal the key to how we passed it just now. Furthermore, they saw clearly how the vines entangled the raft after it was attacked. Few of those qualified to participate in the Shushan Holy Land Trial are fools. My guess is that they've probably already started cutting down trees and building a new raft!"
At this moment, Gu Yunzhou, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, interrupting Jiang Liunian's beautiful reverie. His expression was serious as he said, "My raft isn't actually very complex or technically advanced. The reason they were pressing us so hard and questioning us so rigorously was probably partly to ensure safety and act with caution. It's also likely that they were deliberately stalling for time to prevent us from successfully clearing the border."
Hearing this, Jiang Liunian was immediately furious. "What? In that case, the injury I just received was all in vain? Yun Zhou, why don't we just stay here and wait for them to pass through the center of the lake on their newly made raft. Then we can give them a surprise and fierce attack to avenge them! Let them also have a taste of the pain of being attacked. As the saying goes, 'give someone a taste of their own medicine'!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Liunian, who was originally full of anger, seemed to suddenly think of something interesting. A sly smile instantly bloomed on his face, and his mood seemed to become cheerful again.
"Haha, that's right! This is a brilliant idea! Let those treacherous villains also feel the pain of being stabbed in the back. Ideally, they'd be surrounded by red snakehead fish, with no one to cry out for help!" Zhu Chen was so excited that he danced with joy, immediately raising his hands in agreement. Thinking of the humiliation he had just suffered, he was furious and kept thinking about how to get revenge. As the saying goes, a gentleman's grudge must be avenged on the same day. There was no way these despicable villains could get away with it!
However, Gu Yunzhou, standing by, gently shook his head, a hint of helplessness on his face. "I don't think it's that simple. Think about it, if they dare to plot against us like this, why would they just stand there and wait for us to attack? The most likely scenario is that they'll just hold us to a stalemate, wasting our time. You know, the trials at the Book Mountain Holy Land have strict time limits. These guys clearly calculated that we wouldn't want to lose the bigger picture by wasting precious time on them just for a momentary stab."
Gu Yunzhou grew increasingly furious as he spoke, his fists unconsciously clenching. Being so blatantly plotted against would have infuriated anyone, but he remained rational. After all, as he'd said, everything had to be prioritized. A reckless fight to the bitter end just to vent his anger wouldn't only fail to resolve the issue, but could also affect the entire trial process, ultimately costing more than it gained. But, sooner or later, this score had to be settled. It wouldn't be too late to settle the score with them after we left this trial ground!
"This young master is absolutely right. Based on my familiarity with them, if we stay here, they will never appear on the surface of the lake!" Wu Ke shook his head with a wry smile, then nodded, indicating that he fully agreed with what Gu Yunzhou said.
Jiang Liunian, however, had a look of resignation on his face. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling a tight chokehold on his chest. If it weren't for the obstruction of the red-bellied fish in the center of the lake, he would have already struck back at this moment.
However, now that things had come to this, no amount of regret would help. After a moment's contemplation, a sly glint suddenly flashed in Jiang Liunian's eyes. He lowered his voice and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we try a hard-to-get tactic? Everyone pretend to evacuate, then quietly circle around behind them. When they reach the center of the lake without any warning, we'll suddenly launch an attack, catching them off guard! What do you think of this plan?" He looked expectantly at his companions, hoping for their support and response.
"Do you really think they won't be prepared for this move of yours? Just like Yun Zhou said, getting entangled with these despicable people will only waste our precious time. Don't forget, the ultimate goal of our trip this time is to successfully pass the level and go as far as possible! As for revenge, there will be plenty of opportunities waiting for us after we successfully leave this place!"
Zhu Chenxu's eyes flickered with a slight chill. Since he was born, no one had ever dared to harm him so wantonly, except for the incident with his sister. Even with a powerful family like the Yang family, the Zhu family was no pushover.
"Besides, as the saying goes, 'It's impolite not to reciprocate.' Since they were so unkind first, don't blame us for being unjust later! We might as well prepare a little 'surprise' for them!"
