Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 333 Strengthening Defense

Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him, and the spiritual power in his body surged wildly, forming a barrier in front of him. The man in black robe sneered, condensed a black energy ball in his hand, and slammed towards them.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the energy ball collided with the barrier, bursting out with dazzling light. Gao Xingchen groaned, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes became more determined.

"Li'er, the antidote!"

Nan Li understood what he meant, and a jade bottle appeared in her hand, from which two crystal clear pills were poured out. She took one herself and handed the other to Gao Xingchen.

"This is..." Gao Xingchen was a little confused.

"This is a pill we modified based on the antidote. It can increase our strength in a short period of time." Nan Li explained, "Although it cannot completely resist his attack, it can at least buy some time."

Gao Xingchen no longer hesitated and swallowed the pill in one gulp. Suddenly, a powerful force surged in his body, and he felt that his strength and speed had been greatly improved.

"Come on!" Gao Xingchen roared and took the initiative to attack the man in black robe.

The man in black robe obviously didn't expect that they had such means, and was forced to retreat repeatedly by Gao Xingchen for a while.

"Damn it!" The black-robed man cursed angrily, and a black energy ball condensed in his hand again. This time, he wanted to completely destroy them!

However, at this moment, a strange energy wave spread from inside the Gao family. The black-robed man's face changed, and he looked into the depths of the Gao family in disbelief.

"How is that possible? How can the antidote work so quickly?"

It turned out that when Gao Xingchen and Nanli were fighting the black-robed man, the Gao family had distributed the antidote to all the poisoned people. The antidote worked immediately, and the infected people gradually recovered their health. Their bodies exuded strong vitality, which gathered together to form a strong energy wave, impacting the restrictions set by the black-robed man.

The black-robed man had a gloomy expression. He knew that it was impossible to stop the spread of the antidote today. He glared at Gao Xingchen and Nan Li fiercely, turned around and disappeared into the night sky as a puff of black smoke.

"We won?" Gao Xingchen muttered to himself as he looked at the direction where the man in black robe disappeared.

"Well, we won." Nan Li leaned lightly on Gao Xingchen's shoulder, with a tired smile on her face.

The crisis was finally resolved.

Seeing the tribesmen gradually recovering, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were filled with relief. They knew that this victory was hard-won and was won with their wisdom, courage, and love for the tribesmen.

However, they also knew in their hearts that this was just the beginning.

What is the origin of that mysterious organization? What is their purpose?

These problems still trouble them, and also indicate that there are more challenges waiting for them in the future...

Gao Xingchen looked at the direction where the black-robed man disappeared, feeling mixed emotions. The joy of victory had not yet faded, and new questions came to his mind. What was the origin of that mysterious organization? What was their purpose?

"Xingchen, Lier, are you okay?" The heads of the Gao and Nan families hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the two were safe and sound.

"Father, I'm fine." Gao Xingchen and Nan Li said at the same time.

"It's all thanks to you two this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous." The head of the Gao family looked at his son, his eyes full of relief and pride. The head of the Nan family also nodded in agreement: "Yes, you not only resolved the crisis, but also made the relationship between the two families closer."

The head of the Gao family walked up to Nan Li, patted her on the shoulder, and said in a gentle tone: "Li'er, you have worked hard these years. If it weren't for you, Xingchen wouldn't have grown so fast."

Nan Li smiled faintly: "Uncle, you are too kind. Xingchen and I support each other and make progress together."

"Okay, okay!" The two old men smiled at each other, their wrinkles full of relief. This crisis not only tested the abilities of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, but also strengthened the trust and unity between the two families.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and a warm feeling surged in their hearts. They knew that the road ahead was still long, but they were no longer alone. Behind them, there was the support of the two major families and the love of their relatives and friends.

At this time, in a hidden corner of the Gao family's mansion, a man in black robes staggered out. His face was pale and his breathing was disordered. It was obvious that he had been seriously injured in the previous confrontation.

"Damn it!" He growled, his eyes full of resentment and unwillingness, "I didn't expect that I would fail in the end!"

He covered his chest and coughed violently a few times, with a streak of bright red blood flowing out from the corner of his mouth.

"Ahem...Gao Xingchen, Nanli, just wait for me. I will definitely get back at you!" He said viciously, and his figure disappeared into the night again.

And where he disappeared, a man in white slowly appeared. He had a handsome face and a gentle temperament. He was the mysterious man who was controlled by the man in black robes before.

He looked in the direction where the man in black robe disappeared, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.

"You are free." Gao Xingchen and Nan Li appeared behind him at some point.

The mysterious man turned and looked at the two of them, with a wry smile on his face: "Yes, I am finally free, but..."

"Just what?" Nan Li asked.

"It's just that I made a mistake, but you have to bear the consequences." The mysterious man said in a heavy tone, "I came here to stop him, but I didn't expect that I was still a step too late."

Gao Xingchen shook his head: "This is not your fault, you are also a victim."

"Yes," Nan Li continued, "The most important thing now is to find out the details of that organization and their purpose."

The mysterious man was silent for a moment, as if he had made a decision. He raised his head and looked at Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, with a hint of apology and gratitude in his eyes: "Thank you, I have been reflecting on my actions during this period, and I realized that I was wrong. I was wrong to lose myself for power, and I was wrong to listen to slander and hurt others and myself."

He took a deep breath and continued, "I have decided to leave here, to find my true self, and no longer interfere in your lives."

After saying this, he bowed deeply to Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, turned and left, leaving behind only a white silhouette, which gradually disappeared into the night.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at the direction he left, feeling mixed emotions. They knew that the mysterious man left to atone for his sins and to find a new beginning.

And they are about to face new challenges.

"Xingchen," Nan Li looked at Gao Xingchen, with a determined light in his eyes, "We can't let our guard down. If that organization can control him once, they can control him a second time. We must be fully prepared to prevent them from making a comeback."

Gao Xingchen nodded, a sharp look flashed in his eyes: "You are right, we must strengthen the family's defense, and at the same time, we must find out the origins of that organization as soon as possible, and we can't let them threaten our relatives and friends again."

As the night deepened, the Gao family mansion was brightly lit. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side, their figures made particularly slender by the lights, which also illuminated their way forward.

After sending the mysterious man away, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not dare to slack off. They knew that as long as the mysterious organization was not eliminated, the peace of the Nine Stars Realm would not be guaranteed.

"Xingchen, what should we do now?" Nan Li frowned and looked at Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen pondered for a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes: "Li'er, we must race against time to strengthen the family's defense, and at the same time, we must find a way to find the nest of that mysterious organization and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"You're right, we can't just sit there and wait for death." Nan Li nodded in agreement.

So, the two of them took action separately. Gao Xingchen called the elders of the family to discuss the strengthening of fortifications. He personally supervised and built the Gao family mansion to be impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The towering walls were covered with powerful formations and prohibitions; patrol teams kept watch day and night, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements.

At the same time, Nan Li began to investigate clues of the mysterious organization. She visited various forces, collected intelligence, and tried to piece together the true face of the organization. However, the mysterious organization acted secretly and left almost no traces, so Nan Li's investigation progressed slowly.

In addition to strengthening the defense, Gao Xingchen also decided to improve the overall strength of the tribe. He knew that only by becoming strong could he better resist foreign enemies. So he invited the best mentors in the family to give the tribe members strict training.

On the training ground, the shouts of killing shook the sky, and the Gao family members sweated profusely and practiced hard. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also personally took part in the training to guide the family members to practice martial arts and improve their actual combat capabilities.

"Brother Xingchen, what do you think of my move?" A young tribesman excitedly showed Gao Xingchen his newly learned sword technique.

Gao Xingchen carefully observed his movements and patiently instructed him, "Although your swordsmanship is sharp, it has too many flaws, and it is easy for your opponent to seize the opportunity. Look at me, it should be like this..."

Gao Xingchen explained and demonstrated, imparting the essence of swordsmanship to the tribesmen without reservation. Under his careful guidance, the tribesmen's martial arts improved by leaps and bounds, and their combat effectiveness was significantly improved.

After a period of hard work, the defense strength of the Gao family and the Nan family has been greatly improved, and the clansmen have become more united and united. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at all this, their hearts filled with hope.

As time went by, the family's life gradually returned to normal, and Gao Xingchen and Nan Li had more time to spend together. They practiced together, handled family affairs together, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper.

However, on a dark and windy night, Gao Xingchen received an anonymous letter, breaking this brief peace. The letter contained only a few short sentences: "Gao Xingchen, do you think this is the end? We will come back and bring even greater disasters! Just wait, hahahaha..."

After Gao Xingchen finished reading the letter, his face suddenly became solemn. He held the letter tightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. He knew that the mysterious organization had not given up. They were still in the dark, waiting for the opportunity to make a comeback.

A bigger disaster? What exactly is it? Gao Xingchen's heart is filled with doubts and uneasiness. He knows that a bigger storm is coming, and he and Nan Li will once again face a severe test...

So, the two of them took action separately. Gao Xingchen called the elders of the family to discuss the strengthening of fortifications. He personally supervised and built the Gao family mansion to be impregnable, easy to defend and difficult to attack. The towering walls were covered with powerful formations and prohibitions; the patrol team kept watch day and night, vigilantly observing the surrounding movements. Nan Li used the advantages of his intelligence network to investigate the clues of the mysterious organization.

With the joint efforts of the two, the family's defense power is gradually strengthened, and news about the mysterious organization gradually surfaced. They seem to come from a place called "Nether Valley", which is shrouded in fog all year round, difficult for outsiders to enter, and full of mystery.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li realized that in order to completely resolve the crisis, they had to find the "Netherworld Valley" and uproot this mysterious organization. However, just as they were preparing to take further action, the family's life gradually returned to peace, as if the previous crisis was just a nightmare.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were finally able to free themselves from the tense state of the past few days and enjoy a moment of peace. They practiced together, handled family affairs together, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper. In their spare time, the two would stroll in the garden, chat, and enjoy this hard-earned peace.

However, on a dark and windy night, Gao Xingchen received an anonymous letter, breaking this brief peace. The letter contained only a few short sentences: "Gao Xingchen, do you think this is the end? We will come back and bring even greater disasters! Just wait, hahahaha..."
