Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 72 Successfully Overcome

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, forced a smile on his face, and greeted Ye Xiao, "You are here."

Night Owl didn't seem to notice Gao Xingchen's abnormality. He strode in and spread the map in his hand on the table. "This is the structural diagram of the Dark Alliance headquarters. I have marked their defense loopholes and patrol patterns. As long as we act according to the plan, we will succeed."

Nanli picked up the map and studied it carefully, while Ling'er asked anxiously, "But how can we be sure that this map is real? What if this is a trap..."

"Ling'er!" Nan Li scolded in a low voice, then turned to Ye Xiao and said, "I believe you."

Night Owl looked at them with deep eyes, "I know you have doubts in your hearts, but please believe me, everything I do is to fight against the 'Dark Alliance' and for the peace of the star field."

Gao Xingchen looked at Ye Xiao's sincere eyes, and the balance in his heart gradually leaned towards belief. He thought of Ye Xiao's help during this period of time, and the injuries he suffered in order to protect them. Could it be that all this was fake?

He decided to take another gamble, betting their lives and the future of the star field.

"Okay, I believe you." Gao Xingchen said firmly, "Let's act according to the plan!"

A barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of Night Owl's mouth. "Without further delay, let's set off now!"

The intelligence provided by Night Owl was very accurate. They followed the secret passage marked on the map and successfully sneaked into the headquarters of the "Dark Alliance". However, this was just the beginning. What awaited them was a more dangerous challenge.

The headquarters was heavily guarded, with a team of fully armed guards patrolling at regular intervals. Gao Xingchen and his companions held their breath, and with their agility and tacit cooperation, they cleverly avoided the guards' sight and approached the target location step by step.

However, an accident still happened. When passing a corner, Ling'er accidentally knocked over a weapon, and the crisp sound of metal collision was particularly harsh in the silent corridor.

"who?!"

Several guards rushed over upon hearing the noise, and Gao Xingchen and others were immediately surrounded.

"Quick battle, quick decision!" Gao Xingchen shouted, summoning his spirit beast, a huge, majestic bear. The bear roared and rushed towards the guards, waving its strong paws, knocking several guards away.

Nanli and Ling'er also showed their skills and fought fiercely with the guards. Nanli's swordsmanship was extremely sharp, and the guards fell to the ground one after another wherever the sword flashed. Ling'er's weapon was a pair of daggers. She was agile and shuttled between the guards. The daggers were like poisonous snakes, and each attack hit the vital points directly.

At this moment, a burly and imposing man appeared at the end of the corridor. He looked at the people fighting fiercely, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, "Who dares to trespass into the headquarters of the Dark Alliance?!"

Gao Xingchen's heart trembled. He knew that the real battle had just begun...

Gao Xingchen's heart trembled. He knew that the real battle had just begun. The imposing man in front of him was the leader of the "Dark Alliance" - Night Demon.

The Night Demon's strength was unfathomable. He just waved his hand and a gust of wind was created, forcing the giant bear back several steps. The giant bear roared and rushed forward again, but was hit on the head by the Night Demon and fell to the ground in pain.

"Beast!" Gao Xingchen cried out distressedly, and looked at the Night Demon more vigilantly. He knew that with their current strength, it was almost impossible to defeat the Night Demon.

Night Demon's eyes swept over Gao Xingchen and the others, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Just relying on you ants, you think you can challenge my authority?"

Before he finished speaking, Night Demon flashed and appeared in front of Gao Xingchen like a ghost, with five fingers forming claws, grabbing Gao Xingchen's throat. Gao Xingchen was prepared, dodging the attack by leaning sideways, and at the same time took out a bag of powder from his arms and sprinkled it on Night Demon.

The Night Demon was caught off guard and inhaled some of the powder. He immediately felt that the spiritual energy in his body was not flowing smoothly and his movements became slow.

"What is this?!" the Night Demon roared, with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"This is the end of your sins!" Gao Xingchen said coldly.

It turned out that Gao Xingchen accidentally got a mysterious herb in his previous adventure, which could temporarily suppress the spiritual power of practitioners. He knew that they could not be the opponent of the Night Demon with force alone, so he ground the herb into powder and prepared to use it at the critical moment.

The Night Demon's strength was suppressed, and Gao Xingchen and others were immediately relieved of pressure. Nanli and Ling'er seized the opportunity and attacked the Night Demon together. Nanli's swordsmanship was light and agile, like flowing clouds and water, and the sword light turned into afterimages, covering the Night Demon. Ling'er's dagger was tricky and ruthless, focusing on the Night Demon's vital points, forcing the Night Demon to retreat again and again.

The three of them cooperated well, and their offensive surged like a tide. Although Night Demon was powerful, he was unable to resist for a while. He roared angrily, but could not get out of the predicament.

At this moment, Gao Xingchen noticed that not far behind Night Demon, there was a row of cages, in which various spirit pets were imprisoned. These spirit pets were restrained and could not move, and could only make helpless whimpers.

Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and a bold idea emerged in his mind...

Gao Xingchen pointed at the imprisoned pets and shouted to Granny Sun, "Granny Sun, can you control them?"

Granny Sun was slightly startled, then she understood Gao Xingchen's intention. She stroked the feathers of a giant eagle beside her and whispered, "Child, you want to..."

Gao Xingchen nodded firmly, "Only in this way can we defeat the Night Demon and rescue everyone!"

Granny Sun took a deep breath, her eyes became fierce. She formed seals with her hands and muttered something. An invisible force emanated from her, covering the entire cage area.

After feeling the power of Granny Sun, the spirit pets that were originally listless gradually regained their spirits. They roared in response to Granny Sun's call.

Night Demon also noticed the unusual movement here. He roared, "Don't even think about it!" After that, he was about to stop Grandma Sun.

"Your opponent is us!" Nanli and Ling'er shouted in unison, and the two of them joined forces to block the Night Demon's way.

Granny Sun ignored the Night Demon's threats and focused all her attention on controlling her spirit pets. She waved her hands continuously, and rays of light shot towards the spirit pets, removing the restrictions on them one by one.

As more and more spirit pets regained their freedom, Gao Xingchen and his team's strength was greatly enhanced. The giant eagle soared in the sky, its claws like hooks, grabbing the night demon; the giant python roamed on the ground, entangled and strangled the minions of the "Dark Alliance"; and all kinds of strange spirit pets, all displayed their own abilities and joined the battle.

Thanks to the efforts of Gao Xingchen and others, the defense line of the "Dark Alliance" gradually collapsed. They were unstoppable all the way and finally found their imprisoned friends and family.

"Stars!"

"Sister Ling'er!"

"I'm so glad everyone is okay!"

The joy of reuniting after the disaster made Gao Xingchen and others cherish it even more. They supported their weak relatives and friends and prepared to evacuate this place of trouble.

However, at this moment, a suffocating pressure suddenly descended, enveloping everyone.

"Want to leave? Have you asked me?" The Night Demon's voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, filled with coldness and murderous intent.

He was seen walking out slowly from the shadows, and his originally suppressed aura became even stronger at this moment, as if a sleeping beast finally revealed its ferocious fangs.

Gao Xingchen's heart trembled. He knew that the real decisive battle had just begun...
