Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 344 Strange Faces

Gao Xingchen handed the letter to Nan Li. There were only a few lines of words on it, but it revealed a shocking news: a special herb was mixed in the enemy's food and grass. Long-term consumption would cause chronic poisoning and gradually lose combat effectiveness. There was only a mysterious symbol at the end of the letter, which was the only way for them to contact this mysterious ally.

"It seems that our ally hates Alliance Leader Zhao to the core." Nan Li chuckled and placed the letter on the candle flame to light it. The blue flame reflected her cold face. "Chronic poisoning is really a sinister method."

"But this also provides us with an opportunity." Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, "As long as we can find evidence and expose Alliance Leader Zhao's conspiracy, we can win without fighting!"

Nan Li nodded, with wisdom glittering in her deep eyes, "This matter is of great importance, we must proceed with caution."

"Li'er, what do you think?" Gao Xingchen asked. He knew that Nan Li was meticulous and could always come up with unexpected ideas.

"The enemy camp is well guarded. It's not easy to find evidence." Nan Li pondered for a moment, "We need a foolproof plan."

"You say." Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li, his eyes full of trust.

"We need to sneak into the enemy camp and confirm the authenticity of the intelligence with our own eyes." Nan Li said firmly, "Only in this way can we completely crush the enemy's conspiracy."

Gao Xingchen frowned slightly when he heard this. He knew what it meant to sneak into the enemy camp. It would be a life-threatening adventure.

"Li'er, I know you're worried about my safety, but this matter depends on you and me." Gao Xingchen held Nan Li's hand and said firmly, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself and you."

Nan Li looked at Gao Xingchen's determined eyes and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She knew that she could not stop Gao Xingchen. He had adventurous blood in his bones and was determined to safeguard justice.

"In that case, let's go together." Nan Li held Gao Xingchen's hand with her backhand, with a determined light flashing in her eyes, "We will fight side by side and share life and death."

After Gao Xingchen and Nan Li discussed it, they decided to sneak into the enemy camp and investigate. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, they called Xuanfeng to the secret room and explained the next action plan in detail.

"Xuanfeng, you lead a team of elite disciples to meet us outside the camp. If we encounter danger, you must come to support us as soon as possible." Gao Xingchen said in a serious tone. He knew that this operation was related to the fate of the entire Xingchen Pavilion and could not tolerate any carelessness.

"Master, rest assured. I will try my best!" Xuanfeng knelt on one knee, clasped his hands together, his eyes full of determination.

As night fell, the stars dotted the sky, and the darkness enveloped the earth, hiding the figures of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. They wore night clothes and quietly sneaked into the night, heading towards the enemy camp.

In the distance, the enemy camp was brightly lit, and the patrol soldiers flickered in the firelight, appearing particularly vigilant. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li relied on their extraordinary skills and tacit cooperation to avoid the patrols and quietly approached the enemy camp.

A thrilling infiltration operation is about to begin...

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, under the cover of darkness, shuttled through the enemy camp like two clever night cats. They tried to restrain their breath, walked lightly, avoided the light of the fire, and blended perfectly into the shadows. The conversations of patrolling soldiers, the sound of weapons colliding, and the neighing of war horses in the distance all became the basis for their judgment of the situation.

Along the way, they relied on tacit cooperation to cleverly avoid several patrols. Sometimes they hid behind the shadows of tents, sometimes they lurked in the bushes, and once they even had to climb up the towering sentry tower and jump over the heads of patrol soldiers. Every thrilling encounter made their heartbeats accelerate, but also strengthened their determination to complete the mission.

"It seems that the intelligence is correct. Alliance Leader Zhao has indeed strengthened security in the camp." Gao Xingchen lowered his voice and said to Nan Li beside him.

Nan Li nodded slightly, and scanned the surrounding environment with sharp eyes. "It is better to be safe than sorry. We should proceed with caution."

They followed the route they had agreed on in advance and went deep into the enemy camp. According to the clues provided by the mysterious man, the secret weapon should be hidden there.

After walking for about half an hour, a huge tent appeared in their sight. This tent was different from the ordinary tents around it. It was made of black unknown metal, with strange runes carved on the surface, emitting a cold and eerie atmosphere.

"It should be here." Gao Xingchen said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

Nan Li didn't say anything, but took out a small silver needle from his waist and flicked it lightly. The silver needle shot silently into the gap in the tent.

After a moment, Nan Li retracted the silver needle and nodded slightly to Gao Xingchen.

The two exchanged glances, then approached the tent cautiously and used Nanli's special tools to quietly open the entrance of the tent.

A pungent smell of medicine hit me in the face. The lights in the tent were bright, illuminating the scene inside. In the center of the tent, there was a huge mechanical device. The device was pitch black and had a strange shape. It was covered with various gears, pipes and runes, emitting a frightening energy fluctuation.

"Is this the secret weapon?" Gao Xingchen asked in a low voice, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Nan Li did not answer, but just stared at the mechanical device closely, her eyebrows slightly furrowed, as if she was thinking about something.

Just as Gao Xingchen was about to say something, there was a sudden sound of heavy footsteps at the entrance of the tent, followed by a cold voice: "Who are you? How dare you trespass into my tent!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were startled and turned around suddenly, only to see a middle-aged man in black armor and with a stern face standing at the entrance, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Alliance Master Zhao!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li said in unison. Alliance Master Zhao sneered, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, "I had expected that you, Xingchen Pavilion, would come to cause trouble, but I didn't expect you to dare to come and die!"

"How do you know?" Gao Xingchen was shocked, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

"Humph, from the moment you stepped into my camp, you have been under my control." Alliance Leader Zhao snorted coldly and waved his hand, "Catch them for me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, dozens of soldiers in black armor rushed in from outside the tent and surrounded Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. These soldiers were calm and had sharp eyes, and were obviously the elite among the elite.

"Oh no, I've fallen into a trap!" Gao Xingchen thought to himself. He knew that he probably couldn't escape today.

"What are you afraid of? Even if I die, I'll take a few people with me!" Nan Li said in a low voice, his tone full of determination.

The two men stood back to back, scanning the enemies around them vigilantly, ready to fight at any time.

"Kill!" Alliance Leader Zhao gave an order, and dozens of soldiers rushed towards Gao Xingchen and Nan Li like tigers descending from the mountains.

For a moment, the tent was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing, and a fierce battle broke out in an instant.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li are both experienced masters. Facing the enemy's siege, they are not afraid at all. They each display their powerful martial arts and fight a desperate battle with the enemy.

Gao Xingchen's swordsmanship was sharp and swift, like a storm. Every move he made was aimed directly at the enemy's vital points. In the blink of an eye, several soldiers fell under his sword.

Nanli's martial arts were known for being strange and tricky. She was as agile as a ghost, and could always avoid the enemy's attacks at the critical moment. At the same time, the dagger in her hand was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and every move she made could take a life.

However, two fists are no match for four hands, and a strong man cannot defeat a large number of people. Although Gao Xingchen and Nanli tried their best, they were gradually at a disadvantage facing the siege of dozens of elite soldiers.

Gao Xingchen already had several wounds on his body, and blood had stained his clothes red, but he seemed to feel no pain and was still fighting hard.

Nan Li's situation was not optimistic either. Although she had not been injured for the time being thanks to her flexible body, the long-term high-intensity fighting had consumed a lot of her physical strength, and her movements began to become slow.

"Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, Nanli, just prepare to die!" Alliance Leader Zhao stood aside, looking at Gao Xingchen and Nanli who were engaged in a tough battle, with a smug look on his face.

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky and landed in front of Gao Xingchen and Nanli, blocking the enemy's attack.

"Who is it?!" Alliance Leader Zhao's face changed and he asked sternly.

"Your opponent is me!" The man slowly raised his head, revealing a strange face. It was the mysterious man who had provided information to Gao Xingchen before.

The mysterious man appeared like a ghost, with a layer of light golden light covering his body, making it impossible to see his face. He just waved his hand lightly, and an invisible force shook away the soldiers who were besieging Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

"Who are you?!" Alliance Leader Zhao was shocked and angry. He had never seen such an unfathomable master.

The mysterious man ignored Alliance Leader Zhao. He turned around and said to Gao Xingchen and Nan Li in a calm tone: "Follow me, I will take you to destroy the secret weapon."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and saw surprise and confusion in each other's eyes. But at this moment, they had no choice but to choose to believe this mysterious man who suddenly appeared.

Led by the mysterious man, the three of them avoided the enemy's guards and came to a hidden valley. In the valley, a huge metal device stood there, emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

"Is this the secret weapon that Alliance Leader Zhao mentioned?" Gao Xingchen looked at the huge monster in front of him, his heart filled with shock.

"That's right. This weapon has the power to destroy the world. Once it is activated, the consequences will be disastrous." The mysterious man said solemnly, "We must destroy it as soon as possible!"

"But how do we destroy this thing?" Nanli asked.

The mysterious man pointed to the center of the metal device and said, "That is the core of this weapon. As long as it is destroyed, the weapon can be completely destroyed."

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li nodded. The three of them joined forces, pushed their internal energy to the extreme, and launched a fierce attack on the core of the metal device.

boom! boom! boom!

The violent explosion echoed in the valley, and the metal device trembled violently, as if it would collapse at any time. Alliance Leader Zhao noticed something was wrong, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted angrily: "Oh no! Someone destroyed my secret weapon! Kill them!"

A large number of soldiers rushed towards the valley and surrounded Gao Xingchen and others.

"You go first, I will stop them!" said the mysterious man in a deep voice.

"But..." Gao Xingchen wanted to say something but was stopped by Nanli.

"Trust him, we must leave here as soon as possible!" Nanli said.

Gao Xingchen nodded, and together with Nanli, took advantage of the chaos to break out of the encirclement.

However, their actions caused the enemy to retaliate frantically. When the news reached Xingchen Pavilion, Alliance Leader Zhao personally led the army and launched a fierce attack on Xingchen Pavilion. For a time, Xingchen Pavilion was engulfed in flames, many disciples were injured, and the building was severely damaged...

Can Gao Xingchen and Nan Li protect Xingchen Pavilion from the enemy's revenge? What is the true identity of the mysterious man? Why did he help Gao Xingchen? All of this is full of unknowns...
