Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 143: All in vain

Gao Xingchen only felt a huge force coming, and his body was thrown out uncontrollably. He endured the severe pain in his body, adjusted his body shape in the air, and landed steadily behind a huge rock.

"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen was extremely anxious, but he didn't dare to act rashly. The power of the unknown creature was too terrifying, and acting rashly would only put himself in a more dangerous situation.

He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. Now was not the time to panic, he had to come up with a plan as soon as possible.

Gao Xingchen closed his eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations in the surrounding space. He knew that if he wanted to defeat this powerful unknown creature, he had to make full use of his understanding of the rules of space.

"Fold the space, open it for me!" Gao Xingchen shouted in a low voice, and quickly formed seals with his hands. Mysterious runes flew out from his hands and merged into the surrounding space.

The surrounding space seemed to have turned into a piece of soft cloth. Under Gao Xingchen's control, it constantly twisted and folded, forming space cracks that were imperceptible to the naked eye.

"Roar!"

The roar of an unknown creature came from a distance, and Gao Xingchen's heart trembled. He knew that the monster had discovered his trace.

Sure enough, the next moment, the huge unknown creature appeared in Gao Xingchen's field of vision. It roared and rushed towards Gao Xingchen. Wherever it passed, huge rocks collapsed and trees fell, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting.

Gao Xingchen did not dare to delay. He took strange steps and kept dodging and moving in the narrow space, trying to avoid the attack of the unknown creature.

"boom!"

The unknown creature slapped Gao Xingchen with its claws, but the terrifying force still made his blood boil and he almost vomited blood.

"Space transformation!"

Gao Xingchen seized the opportunity and cast a space spell again. His figure instantly disappeared from the spot and appeared dozens of meters away.

The unknown creature missed its target and roared angrily. Its huge body turned around in a circle, as if looking for Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen did not relax his vigilance. He knew that this was only a temporary delaying tactic. He had to find a way to deal with this monster as soon as possible, otherwise, he would be exhausted to death by it sooner or later.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Nan Li was also actively looking for a solution...

Nan Li is different from Gao Xingchen. She does not have a strong ability to manipulate space, but her keen insight and swiftness are also magic weapons to defeat the enemy. She shuttles around the edge of the battlefield like a ghost, with a pair of sharp eyes, always capturing every detail of the unknown creatures.

She discovered that although this monster had incredible strength and terrifyingly high defense, its movements seemed a bit clumsy and its attack method was relatively simple, which gave her and Gao Xingchen an opportunity to take advantage of.

"Xingchen, try to lead it to the entrance of the valley. The terrain there is narrow and can restrict its movements!" Nanli's voice was transmitted to Gao Xingchen's ears through mental power, cold and calm.

Gao Xingchen understood what he meant, and he deliberately exposed a flaw to lure the unknown creature to the entrance of the valley.

"It's now!"

Following Nan Li's order, the rune array that Gao Xingchen had arranged on both sides of the valley was activated instantly. Dazzling lightning flashed from the sky, interweaving into a huge electric net that trapped the unknown creatures.

"Roar!" The unknown creature was enraged by the sudden attack. It struggled frantically, trying to break free from the restraints of lightning.

However, how could Gao Xingchen and Nan Li let it succeed so easily? They joined forces to launch an attack, and all kinds of powerful spells and hidden weapons rained down on the unknown creature.

But just when they thought victory was in sight, something strange happened!

The unknown creature seemed to sense the danger. It let out a deafening roar and an invisible wave spread out from its body, instantly devouring all the surrounding lightning power.

The trap carefully set by Gao Xingchen was easily resolved!

What's even more terrifying is that the unknown creature seemed to see through their plan. It suddenly turned towards Nan Li's direction, its blood-red eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.

"Not good!" Gao Xingchen's heart sank. He wanted to remind Nan Li, but it was too late.

The unknown creature was astonishingly fast. It arrived in front of Nanli in an instant, waving its sharp claws and grabbing her chest fiercely.

The fishy wind blew in her face, and Nanli's pupils suddenly contracted. She instinctively leaned back and barely avoided the fatal blow. The sharp claws almost scratched her nose, leaving a bloody mark on her face.

"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible hand, almost suffocating. He had never hated his own powerlessness as much as he did now. If he could be stronger, if he could sense the danger earlier, Nanli would not be injured!

The intense anger was like a volcanic eruption, and Gao Xingchen's spiritual power surged wildly, as if the space could not bear this force and twisted. With red eyes, he rushed towards the unknown creature desperately, quickly forming seals with his hands, and launched fierce attacks one after another, trying to stop the unknown creature from continuing to hurt Nan Li.

Nan Li covered her chest, the burning pain there reminded her that she had just brushed shoulders with death. Looking at Gao Xingchen's desperate figure, she felt mixed emotions. She knew him, and at this moment, he must be full of self-blame and anger.

"I'm fine." Nan Li took a deep breath and suppressed the bloody taste rising in his throat. His cold voice sounded particularly clear in the chaotic battlefield. "Don't be impulsive. It's more powerful than we thought!"

Gao Xingchen turned a deaf ear to him and attacked more fiercely. However, the unknown creature seemed to be an enraged beast, ignoring his attacks and only wanted to tear the enemy in front of it to pieces. It waved its huge claws, and each attack was full of the momentum of destroying the world. Gao Xingchen's spatial force seemed vulnerable in front of it.

"We can't go on like this!" Nan Li endured the pain and calmly analyzed the situation. The power of the unknown creature was too strong. Although Gao Xingchen's spatial power was magical, it still seemed a little stretched in the face of absolute power.

She looked around, trying to find a new breakthrough. Suddenly, her eyes fell on Gao Xingchen, or more precisely, on the glimmering space ring in Gao Xingchen's hand.

"Xingchen, use the energy in your ring!" Nanli's voice was like a flash of lightning, instantly splitting the fog in front of Gao Xingchen's eyes.

Yes! How could he forget!

Gao Xingchen suddenly realized that the space ring stored the massive amount of energy he absorbed from the space turbulence. It was a force purer and more powerful than spiritual power!

He took a deep breath and focused all his attention on the space ring. As he thought, the originally dim gem on the ring suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave surged out of the ring and quickly spread to Gao Xingchen's whole body.

Gao Xingchen felt an unprecedented power flowing through his body. The marks in his hands changed rapidly. The energy in the space seemed to be controlled by an invisible hand. It quickly gathered in front of him and condensed into an energy sword that exuded a terrifying aura.

He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, his eyes flashing with determination, and rushed towards the unknown creature.

The battle has entered a white-hot stage.

Gao Xingchen clenched the energy sword, and the bright light illuminated his resolute face. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a god of war from ancient times, and with an indomitable momentum, he launched a desperate charge towards the unknown creature.

Feeling the terrifying pressure emanating from Gao Xingchen, the unknown creature let out a deafening roar, and a foul-smelling liquid gushed out of its mouth, corroding everything around it. It waved its huge claws and slapped Gao Xingchen head-on, trying to beat him into a pulp.

“Xingchen, be careful!” Nan Li’s heart was in her throat. She tried to endure the pain and wanted to go forward to help, but was stopped by Gao Xingchen’s roar, “Protect yourself!”

Gao Xingchen's eyes were as sharp as torches, and the energy sword in his hand swung out a dazzling arc of light, which collided fiercely with the giant claws of the unknown creature.

There was a loud noise and the ground shook.

A powerful shock wave spread out in all directions with the two of them as the center, uprooting the surrounding trees and shaking the rocks into powder.

Gao Xingchen only felt an overwhelming force coming at him, his body flew backwards involuntarily, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li exclaimed, and rushed to Gao Xingchen desperately to support his shaky body.

"I'm fine." Gao Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and struggled to stand up, but found that his body seemed to be falling apart and the pain was unbearable.

The unknown creature did not give them a chance to breathe. It let out a roar and pounced on the two again.

"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen gritted his teeth. He knew that in their current state, they could not resist the attack of the unknown creatures.

Is this really where I have to end my life today?

At this critical moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly felt a strange movement in the space ring. The turbulent space energy that he absorbed seemed to be full of hostility towards the unknown creatures and was surging wildly, trying to break through the constraints of the space ring.

Gao Xingchen's heart moved. Could it be...

He immediately devoted a bit of his attention and tried to guide the energy in the space ring to attack the unknown creature.

To his surprise, the turbulent energy in space seemed to have found an outlet and transformed into invisible sharp blades, sweeping towards the unknown creatures.

The unknown creature let out a painful roar. Its body was hit by the turbulent energy of space, and its skin was immediately torn and blood was dripping.

efficient!

Gao Xingchen was delighted. He endured the severe pain in his body, mobilized more spatial turbulence energy, and launched a fierce attack on the unknown creature.

Although the unknown creature was powerful, it gradually fell under the attack of the turbulent energy of space and let out bursts of painful wails.

While attacking, Gao Xingchen carefully observed the reaction of the unknown creature, trying to find its weakness.

Could this be their chance?
