Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 160: Hope ahead, keep moving forward

Gao Xingchen tightly grasped the Chaos Crystal in his hand, and a warm power came from his palm and flowed through his whole body. A picture emerged in his mind, that is, a desolate valley, the valley is filled with thick black fog, and a vague figure is looming in the fog, exuding a frightening evil breath.

"How is it? Can you feel anything?" Nan Li asked with concern. She knew that Gao Xingchen was using the power of the Chaos Crystal to sense the trace of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

Gao Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, a gleam in his eyes: "I can feel his breath, he is in the north, in a hidden valley!"

"Let's set off without delay!" Nan Li made a prompt decision and turned to the monster army behind him, ready to go, and ordered, "Target: Northern Valley, full speed ahead!"

Suddenly, the roar of beasts resounded through the sky, and the demon beast army rushed towards the north like a black torrent. Gao Xingchen rode on Xiao Hei and flew side by side with Nan Li at the forefront of the team. They had only one goal in mind, which was to completely eliminate the scourge of Fire Cloud Evil God and restore peace to the Nine Star Realm.

Along the way, they climbed over mountains and crossed dense forests, and experienced countless hardships and dangers, but they never gave up, because their hearts were full of hope, and they believed that justice will eventually defeat evil!

After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at their destination - a deep valley shrouded in thick fog. The valley was dead silent, with only the cold wind howling, as if foreshadowing that a world-shaking battle was about to take place here.

"It's in here." Gao Xingchen turned over and got down to the ground, taking the Chaos Crystal back into his arms, his eyes gleaming with determination, "The Fire Cloud Evil God is hiding in there, this time, we must not let him escape again!"

Nan Li patted his shoulder gently and said softly, "Be careful, he is now at the end of his strength and will definitely counterattack at all costs. We can't take it lightly."

Gao Xingchen nodded, turned to look at the monster army behind him, and ordered loudly: "Everyone listen up, form a formation, and prepare to attack!"

Roar!Roar!Roar!

The deafening roar of beasts sounded again, and the monsters acted quickly. According to the pre-arranged plan, they surrounded the entire valley, forming a huge encirclement and trapping the Fire Cloud Evil God inside, making it impossible for him to escape!

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, clenched the sword in his hand, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that the time for the decisive battle had come! He turned his head and looked at Nan Li beside him. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.

The next moment, they will join forces to launch the final battle against this evil force!

The thick fog was like a natural barrier, shrouding the valley in an eerie silence. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side at the entrance of the valley, staring at the unknown area shrouded in fog before them.

"Are we really going in like this? The fog is too weird, I'm worried it might be a trap." Xiao Hei shook his hair nervously and said in a low voice.

Gao Xingchen patted Xiao Hei's head gently and consoled him, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. The Fire Cloud Evil God is now at the end of his strength, and hiding in this valley is nothing more than an attempt to linger. We should seize this opportunity to completely destroy him and put an end to his future troubles."

Nan Li nodded, and a cold light flashed in her hand, and a sharp dagger appeared in her fair palm. "There is no time to lose, let's fight quickly and decisively."

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He took out a black rune from his arms and whispered a spell. As the light on the rune shone, a huge black light shield enveloped Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Xiaohei, and their figures gradually disappeared from the spot.

This is Gao Xingchen’s latest space spell - "Shadow Stealth", which can perfectly hide one's breath and figure, and is the best weapon for a surprise attack.

Under the cover of "Shadow Stealth", the three men and one beast quietly sneaked into the valley. Although the thick fog blocked the view, it could not block Gao Xingchen's keen perception. He could clearly feel that a cold and evil aura was lurking in the depths of the valley, like a dormant venomous snake, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.

"It's just ahead." Gao Xingchen lowered his voice and signaled Nanli and Xiaohei to slow down.

They carefully pushed aside the thick fog and saw an open space in front of them. In the middle of the open space, a figure in a black robe sat cross-legged. His body was surrounded by thick black fog, and his face could not be seen clearly, but the evil aura that made people shudder was enough.

"Fire Cloud Evil God!" Gao Xingchen said in his heart and tightened the sword in his hand.

"Prepare for battle!" Gao Xingchen whispered the order and withdrew the "Shadow Stealth" at the same time.

With a soft "pop" sound, Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Xiaohei reappeared at the edge of the open space.

The Fire Cloud Evil God seemed to have sensed their arrival, and slowly raised his head, revealing a pale and distorted face. His cold eyes swept over Gao Xingchen and the others, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"You are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time." The voice of Fire Cloud Evil God was hoarse and low, like an evil ghost from the Nine Nether Hell.

Gao Xingchen's eyes were firm, without the slightest fear. "Fire Cloud Evil God, your doom has come! Today, I will eliminate this evil for the people and completely destroy you!"

“Hahaha, you ants?” The Fire Cloud Evil God laughed wildly, his eyes full of disdain and ridicule, “Do you know how generous the gifts I have prepared for you are…”

Before Huoyun Xieshen finished speaking, he suddenly waved his hand, and a powerful force burst out from his body. The originally peaceful valley suddenly shook, and countless black shadows emerged from the thick fog, making deafening roars, and surrounded Gao Xingchen and others.

That is... the army of monsters controlled by the Fire Cloud Evil God!

Gao Xingchen's heart sank, knowing that the real decisive battle had just begun... Facing the overwhelming army of monsters, Gao Xingchen was not afraid at all, but was full of fighting spirit. He turned over and jumped onto Xiao Hei's back, his eyes like torches, scanning the ferocious faces of the beasts.

"Brothers!" Gao Xingchen's voice echoed in the valley, "I know you are afraid. The one in front of you is the once-powerful Fire Cloud Evil God! He has used evil magic to control you and turned you into tools of killing! But I want to tell you that the Fire Cloud Evil God is already at the end of his strength. We must defeat him today and let you regain your freedom!"

Gao Xingchen's words were like a lit torch, instantly igniting the long-suppressed anger in the hearts of the monsters. Although they were controlled by evil magic, they still longed for freedom deep in their hearts and longed to break free from the control of the Fire Cloud Evil God.

“Look at this valley destroyed by the Fire Cloud Evil God, look at this polluted land, are you willing to keep going like this? Don’t you want to go back to your hometown and your loved ones?!” Gao Xingchen’s voice became louder and louder, more and more excited, “We are the righteous side, we are the ultimate winners! Today, let us fight side by side, for freedom, for dignity, for our common home, and completely eliminate the Fire Cloud Evil God!”

Gao Xingchen's words were like lightning, splitting the fog in the monsters' hearts. They began to get restless, and gradually a trace of clarity returned to their eyes.

"Roar!" Xiao Hei let out a deafening roar towards the sky, as if responding to Gao Xingchen's call.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The other monsters also followed suit and let out earth-shaking roars, their voices filled with a desire for freedom and anger towards the Fire Cloud Evil God.

“Okay!” Gao Xingchen suddenly drew out his long sword and pointed it directly at the Fire Cloud Evil God. “Brothers, follow me and charge to destroy the Fire Cloud Evil God!”

"Charge!" The monsters surged like a tide and launched a fierce attack on the Fire Cloud Evil God.

Just as Gao Xingchen was preparing to lead this motivated army to deal a fatal blow to Huoyun Evil God, something strange happened.

"Om-"

A shrill buzzing sound resounded throughout the valley, and the Fire Cloud Evil God was seen making seals with his hands and muttering something.

The next moment, a translucent light shield rose from the ground, instantly covering the entire open space. The monsters were like hitting an invisible wall, and were bounced away one after another.

"This is..." Gao Xingchen was shocked and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

The Fire Cloud Evil God laughed sinisterly, "Foolish ants, do you think I am unprepared? This shield is where you will die!"

"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen cursed inwardly. This sudden change disrupted his overall plan. Looking at the translucent light shield in front of him, he was extremely anxious. The monsters trapped in it panicked and ran around, trying to find a breakthrough, but they were bounced back again and again, wailing in pain.

"Brother Xingchen, what should we do?" There was a hint of anxiety in Nan Li's cold voice. Her beautiful eyes stared at the light shield, trying to find a flaw.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to panic, and he had to find a way to crack it as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. He turned over and jumped off Xiao Hei's back, gently placed his hand on the light shield, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the energy fluctuations in it.

A violent and evil force came from his fingertips, like a maggot in his tarsal bones, trying to drill into his body. Gao Xingchen groaned, quickly retracted his palm, and his face turned slightly pale.

"Such a powerful evil spirit!" Gao Xingchen was secretly shocked. The strength of this Fire Cloud Evil God should not be underestimated.

"How is it?" Nan Li asked with concern.

"This shield is composed of extremely powerful evil energy, and my spiritual power can't shake it at all." Gao Xingchen frowned, his eyes full of solemnity.

"What should we do then?" Nan Li's heart sank. Are they really going to be trapped here and die?

Gao Xingchen did not answer, but looked up at the triumphant Fire Cloud Evil God in mid-air, with a determined light flashing in his eyes. He knew that the Fire Cloud Evil God had set up this shield in order to trap them and then defeat them one by one.

"Xiao Hei!" Gao Xingchen shouted in a low voice, and Xiao Hei immediately understood. He used his huge body to block in front of him and Nan Li, using his strong body to resist the attacks of the trapped monsters.

"Brother Xingchen, what are your plans?" Nanli asked.

Gao Xingchen pondered for a moment, a look of determination flashed in his eyes, "Since we can't break through head-on, we can only find another way!"

"how do you want to do it?"

Gao Xingchen did not answer, but took out an ancient parchment scroll from his arms and slowly unfolded it. On the scroll, there were densely drawn some strange symbols and patterns, emitting a faint golden light.

"This is..." Nanli looked at the scroll in Gao Xingchen's hand with confusion, and had a vague premonition in his heart that this scroll might be the key to their breakthrough.

"This is an ancient battle formation diagram I got by chance. It's called the 'Evil-Breaking Golden Light Array', which is specifically designed to restrain this kind of evil power." Gao Xingchen explained, "If we can successfully set up the formation, we may be able to break this shield!"

A glimmer of hope flashed in Nan Li's eyes, "What are we waiting for? Let's get started!"

Gao Xingchen nodded and looked around, looking for the materials and directions needed to set up the formation.

"I hope it's still in time..." Gao Xingchen prayed silently in his heart. He knew that time was running out and every minute and every second was crucial.
