Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 214 Solution

Gao Xingchen ignored Master Li's request to stay. He understood the old man's concerns, but there were things he had to do. He turned around resolutely and stared at the wealthy businessman Sun with burning eyes, "Boss Sun, please lead the way."

Sun Fushang sighed. He knew Gao Xingchen's temper. Once he made a decision, he would not change it easily. He nodded and led Gao Xingchen towards the direction of Black Wind Ridge.

Black Wind Ridge, just like its name, is eerie and terrifying, shrouded in black fog all year round, like a dormant giant beast, emitting a frightening breath. As soon as Gao Xingchen stepped into the Black Wind Ridge, he felt a cold breath coming towards him, making him shiver.

"Mr. Gao, this Black Wind Ridge is full of weirdness. You must follow me closely and don't get separated." The wealthy businessman Sun lowered his voice with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone.

Gao Xingchen nodded. He knew the seriousness of the matter and dared not relax at all. He used his spiritual power to the extreme and was always alert to the movements around him.

Sun Fushang led Gao Xingchen through many twists and turns and finally arrived at a hidden cave. The entrance of the cave was covered by dense vines, and if you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to find that there was a hidden world here.

"This is it." Sun Fushang pointed at the cave and said, "According to ancient records, this cave is the entrance to the ancient tomb."

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the tension in his heart, and stepped into the cave.

The cave was pitch black, and Gao Xingchen could not see his hand in front of him. He groped his way forward, and a damp and corrupt smell filled his nose, causing him to frown.

"Tick, tick..." The sound of water drops falling on the ground was particularly clear in the silent cave, adding a bit of eerie atmosphere.

Gao Xingchen walked forward and finally came to a spacious stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber stood a huge bronze door, which was engraved with complex and delicate patterns, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

"This is the entrance to the ancient tomb." Gao Xingchen said to himself and reached out to touch the bronze door.

At this moment, the bronze door suddenly made a loud "boom" sound and slowly opened. A dazzling golden light shot out from the gap in the door. Gao Xingchen subconsciously closed his eyes.

When the light faded, Gao Xingchen opened his eyes again, and the scene before him made him gasp.

Behind the bronze door was a long corridor, with long-burning lamps lit at intervals on both sides of the corridor, making the corridor brightly lit. At the end of the corridor was a magnificent hall, and people could be vaguely seen moving around in the hall.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and stepped into the corridor.

Every step he took would trigger a mechanism. Sharp arrows, poisonous fog, and hidden weapons appeared in an endless stream, but he resolved them one by one with his newly advanced magic weapon and extraordinary wit.

Finally, he came to the end of the corridor and stepped into the magnificent hall.

The hall was empty, with only huge stone pillars supporting the roof. In the center of the hall, Gao Xingchen saw Nan Li trapped in the magic circle.

"Li'er!" Gao Xingchen shouted and rushed to Nan Li.

"Xingchen!" When Nan Li saw Gao Xingchen, his eyes were suddenly filled with surprise.

The two looked at each other, saying nothing.

However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Haha, what a touching scene!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's faces changed at the same time and they turned to look in the direction where the voice came from.

A mysterious man wearing a black robe and a hat, whose face could not be seen, slowly walked out of the shadows.

"Who are you?" Gao Xingchen asked vigilantly.

"Haha, you don't need to know who I am." The mysterious man sneered, "You just need to know that today, none of you will leave here alive!" Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him, stared at the mysterious man with cold eyes, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do?"

"What?" The mysterious man laughed strangely, "Of course, to stop you from leaving here! The secrets in this ancient tomb can only belong to me!"

Before he finished speaking, the mysterious man suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was in front of Gao Xingchen, with his five fingers forming claws and going straight for Gao Xingchen's throat!

Gao Xingchen was prepared, he dodged the attack by leaning sideways, and at the same time he swung his palm to counterattack. The palm wind whistled, with overwhelming force, but was easily resolved by the mysterious man.

"You're quite capable. No wonder you dare to come and die!" A hint of surprise flashed in the mysterious man's eyes, and then he sneered and launched an attack again.

For a moment, the hall was filled with vigorous energy and the sound of metal and stone was heard. Gao Xingchen and the mysterious man were fighting in a group. The two sides were evenly matched and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Nan Li was trapped in the magic circle and could not move. She could only look at everything in front of her anxiously. She knew Gao Xingchen's strength, but she also knew how powerful the mysterious man was, and she was very worried.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli couldn't help but remind him.

Gao Xingchen felt warm in his heart when he heard this, he knew Nan Li was worried about him. He took a deep breath, and circulated the spiritual power in his body to the extreme. The magic weapon in his hand shone brightly, and fierce attacks attacked the mysterious man like a storm.

The mysterious man did not dare to be careless. He tried his best to resist Gao Xingchen's attack while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Li'er, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you!" Gao Xingchen said to Nan Li while fighting.

After hearing Gao Xingchen's words, Nan Li felt much more at ease. She knew that no matter what happened, Gao Xingchen would do his best to protect her.

At this moment, Gao Xingchen seized a flaw of the mysterious man, the magic weapon in his hand flashed, and a dazzling sword energy went straight to the mysterious man's chest!

The mysterious man's face changed drastically. He wanted to dodge but it was too late. He could only watch the sword energy coming towards him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the sword energy hit the mysterious man's chest, knocking him out and hitting him heavily against the stone pillar.

"puff!"

The mysterious man vomited blood, his face was pale, and his eyes were full of shock and disbelief.

"You...you actually..."

The mysterious man struggled to stand up, but fell down weakly.

Gao Xingchen ignored the mysterious man. He walked quickly to Nanli. The magic weapon in his hand shone again, trying to break the magic circle that trapped Nanli.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

The mysterious man who was originally unconscious suddenly opened his eyes. A hint of madness flashed in his eyes. He muttered something, and a strange black light surged out of his body, instantly covering the entire hall!

The moment the black light enveloped the hall, Gao Xingchen's heart was filled with alarm. He felt a strong suction coming from the mysterious man's body, as if it was going to swallow him up.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli exclaimed, her voice full of worry.

Gao Xingchen didn't have time to think about it. The magic weapon in his hand suddenly shone brightly, and a warm force instantly flowed through his body, resisting the strange suction.

"What kind of evil magic is this!" Gao Xingchen gritted his teeth. He had never seen such a strange move.

"Hahaha, this is the devouring power. It can devour everything you have!" The mysterious man laughed wildly, his voice full of pride.

At this critical moment, the magic weapon in Gao Xingchen's hand suddenly vibrated violently, and ancient runes appeared on the surface of the magic weapon, emitting dazzling light.

Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and a sense of enlightenment surged into his mind. He felt that there was a powerful force dormant in the magic weapon, and this force was the key to breaking the current crisis.

"Come on, let me see how strong you are!" Gao Xingchen roared and injected all his spiritual power into the magic weapon.

"Buzz!"

The magic weapon made a crisp sound, and a golden beam of light shot up into the sky, instantly dispelling the black light that enveloped the hall.

"What?!" the mysterious man exclaimed, his eyes full of disbelief.

The golden light column dissipated, and the magic weapon in Gao Xingchen's hand had undergone earth-shaking changes. The original simple shape became more refined, exuding a powerful aura that made people's heart palpitate.

"This is... the magic weapon has been upgraded?!" Nan Li looked at the magic weapon in Gao Xingchen's hand in surprise, her heart full of surprise.

Gao Xingchen tightly grasped the magic weapon, feeling the powerful force contained in it, with a sneer on his lips.

"it's over!"

Gao Xingchen's figure flashed and turned into a golden lightning, instantly appearing in front of the mysterious man.

"Not good!" The mysterious man's face changed drastically, and he wanted to dodge but it was too late.

Gao Xingchen slapped the mysterious man on the chest. The powerful force instantly blasted him away, and he hit the stone pillar heavily, dying.

Gao Xingchen ignored the mysterious man lying on the ground. He walked quickly to Nanli. The magic weapon in his hand flashed, and the magic circle that trapped Nanli shattered.

"Let's go!" Gao Xingchen took Nan Li's hand and quickly left the dangerous ruins.

……

After escaping from the ruins, Gao Xingchen and Nanli decided to temporarily return to the Gao family to rest and make the next plan.

Back at the Gao family, the head of the Gao family warmly welcomed their return and expressed his concern for their experience in the ruins. When he learned of the existence of the mysterious man, the head of the Gao family looked solemn and said that he would fully support them in fighting against the threat of the mysterious man.

However, just when they thought everything had been resolved, a bigger conspiracy was quietly surfacing.

Gao Xingchen accidentally discovered that there seemed to be a larger and more mysterious force hidden behind the mysterious man. Who is this force? What is their purpose?

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li returned to the Gao family, and the exhausted two were warmly welcomed by the family. The head of the Gao family, Gao Tianxiong, a dignified and intimidating middle-aged man, personally went out to greet them, his eyes full of relief and concern.

"Xingchen, Nanli, I'm glad you returned safely. You've worked hard on the journey." Gao Tianxiong's voice was deep and powerful, revealing the kindness of an elder.

Gao Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Chief. Although we encountered some troubles this time, fortunately, we are safe."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Gao Tianxiong nodded repeatedly, then turned his gaze to Nanli and said in a gentle tone, "Miss Nanli, thanks to your help this time, our Gao family is very grateful."

Nan Li nodded slightly, a faint smile appeared on his cold face: "You are too polite, Patriarch. Xingchen and I are friends, and we should help each other."

The three of them walked into the meeting hall, and Gao Xingchen recounted their experiences in the ruins in detail, especially about the mysterious man, without hiding anything.

After listening to Gao Xingchen's story, Gao Tianxiong's face became solemn. He pondered for a moment and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a strange technique in this world. It seems that the origin of this mysterious person is definitely not simple."

Gao Xingchen nodded and said in a deep voice: "I think so too, and I always feel that there seems to be some bigger secret hidden behind this mysterious man."

"This matter is of great importance, we must treat it with caution." Gao Tianxiong said with a firm look, "Xingchen, Nanli, don't worry, the Gao family will fully support you to investigate this matter and never let such evil people go unpunished!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other and felt a warm feeling in their hearts. With the support of the Gao family, the burden on their shoulders was suddenly much lighter.

However, just when they thought everything was moving in the right direction, a bigger conspiracy quietly surfaced.

That night, Gao Xingchen was practicing in the room. Suddenly, he felt a weak fluctuation of spiritual power coming from outside the window.

Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and he walked quietly to the window. Through the gap in the window, he saw a dark shadow moving stealthily in the yard.

The black shadow moved very carefully, obviously trying to hide his whereabouts, but he didn't know that all his actions were seen by Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen was puzzled. Who was this black shadow? What was his purpose in sneaking into the Gao family?

An uneasy premonition came to his mind, and Gao Xingchen decided to continue observing.
