Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 141 A Peaceful Beginning

The fragrance became stronger and stronger, like the fragrance of some flowers, and also like the fragrance of some fruits, mixed together, wonderful and harmonious. Gao Xingchen followed the fragrance and walked under the crystal tree, looking up. He saw that between the thick branches, there were clusters of crystal clear fruits, exuding an attractive luster.

"This is..." Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li in surprise.

Nan Li also came over and observed the fruits carefully: "It looks like some kind of spiritual fruit, but the fragrance..." She frowned slightly, as if recalling something.

Gao Xingchen couldn't help but reach out and pick one. The fruit was soft and juicy, giving off a faint warmth. He asked curiously, "Can I eat it?"

Before Nan Li could answer, Gao Xingchen had already taken a bite. She was immediately confused and said, "Aren't you afraid it's poisonous?"

Gao Xingchen chewed it for a few times and his eyes lit up: "Delicious! Sweet and fragrant, better than any fruit on earth!"

Seeing that he was fine, Nan Li was relieved. She picked one and observed it carefully. After a moment, she said, "This fruit contains rich spiritual energy. It should be beneficial for cultivation, but we can't eat too much. After all, we know nothing about this place."

Gao Xingchen nodded, put away the remaining fruits, and the two began to search the open space carefully.

In addition to the huge crystal tree, there are some strange plants growing in this open space. Some plants emit faint light, some have liquid flowing on their surface, and some plants make strange sounds.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li carefully avoided those plants that looked dangerous and chose some plants that looked milder for research. They found that some plants could be used to build simple shelters, some plants could be used to make tools, and some plants could even be used to purify water.

"Look!" Gao Xingchen pointed at a plant with lotus-like leaves and shouted excitedly, "This plant can absorb impurities in the water and purify it into clean water that can be drunk directly!"

Nanli also showed a look of surprise. With this plant, they no longer have to worry about drinking water.

The two worked together and used the resources they found in space to build a simple camp. Although it was crude, it was finally a place to shelter from the wind and rain.

As night fell, the stars dotted the night sky, and the crystal tree emitted a soft light, illuminating a small area around it. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li sat by the campfire, eating unknown fruits, their hearts full of hope for the future.

"Although I don't know when we can go back, at least we are safe now." Gao Xingchen said softly, looking at the starry sky.

Nan Li nodded and looked at Gao Xingchen, with a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Well, as long as we are together, we can definitely overcome all difficulties."

Gao Xingchen smiled slightly, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He knew that no matter what the future held, he would never let go of Nan Li's hand.

At this moment, Nan Li suddenly seemed to remember something, and took out a small pot and some bottles and jars from the storage ring, and said: "I suddenly remembered that I also brought some seasonings and spices, maybe..." Her eyes fell on those strange-shaped plants, "Maybe we can try to make some delicious food."

Nan Li moved quickly, and soon the campfire was filled with bottles and jars. She first used a fragrant plant leaf to purify the water, then selected some edible plant roots, washed them, cut them into pieces, and put them into the pot.

Gao Xingchen looked at her actions curiously and asked, "Are these things really edible? I've never seen them before."

Nan Li smiled slightly: "You have to try it to know whether it is edible or not. Don't worry, I have tried many ingredients before..." She paused and did not continue, "I have tried many ingredients before, trust my judgment."

Gao Xingchen nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He knew Nan Li had many secrets, but he chose to respect her.

Nan Li put some spices into the pot, and suddenly, a strange fragrance spread. Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and felt his appetite surge.

"What kind of spice is this? It smells so good!"

"This is purple star fennel, which can remove the fishy smell from ingredients and enhance the aroma." Nan Li explained as she chopped up a red fruit and put it into the pot. "This is the fire spirit fruit, which can increase the flavor of food."

Under Nan Li's skillful cooking, the originally ordinary ingredients were transformed into a pot of fragrant thick soup. Gao Xingchen couldn't wait to fill a bowl, took a sip, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"It's delicious!" he exclaimed. "It's the best soup I've ever had!"

Nan Li also tasted it and nodded with satisfaction. Although the ingredients were limited, she still tried her best to make it taste like home.

The two drank soup and chatted, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious. In this strange space, they relied on each other, supported each other, and their hearts became closer and closer.

After dinner, Gao Xingchen decided to explore the surroundings again, hoping to find more useful information. He walked along the edge of the crystal tree, and suddenly, he found a path hidden in the bushes.

Curiosity drove him to push aside the bushes and walk along the path. After walking for about an incense stick of time, the view in front of him suddenly opened up.

It was an open space, and in the open space stood an ancient building with a peculiar architectural style, and the walls were engraved with intricate patterns, which looked like some kind of text, but Gao Xingchen didn't recognize any of them.

He walked into the building carefully and found that it was a library. The library was filled with bookshelves, and the bookshelves were filled with books. Gao Xingchen picked up a book at random, opened it, and found that he could actually understand the words in the book.

He was extremely surprised and began to read eagerly. These books recorded many secrets about this space, including the origin of the space, the rules of the space, and the various creatures and plants that exist in the space.

Gao Xingchen became more and more fascinated as he read. It was as if he had opened the door to a new world and saw a whole new world. He couldn't wait to absorb all the knowledge and solve all the puzzles in this space.

It was late at night, and Gao Xingchen was still immersed in the ocean of knowledge. What he didn't know was that behind him, a pair of eyes were staring at him, with an inexplicable light flashing in their eyes...

Gao Xingchen lingered in the library while Nan Li was busy in the camp. She knew that in this unknown space, danger was everywhere and she could not let her guard down for a moment. She set up some simple traps around the camp, using vines and branches to weave a net, and sprinkled some powder extracted from specific plants in key places. These powders exuded a special smell, which could effectively drive away some beasts with a keen sense of smell.

After doing all this, Nanli began to train Gao Xingchen in combat skills. Although Gao Xingchen had great potential, his lack of actual combat experience was his fatal weakness. Nanli decided to personally guide him and impart all the combat experience he had accumulated over the years to him.

"When fighting, the most important thing is to stay calm, learn to observe your opponent, and find his flaws." Nan Li explained while demonstrating various attack and defense moves. "Your strength is very strong, but you must also learn to control it and not waste every bit of your strength."

Gao Xingchen listened carefully and tried hard to remember Nan Li's words. He practiced over and over again, sweating profusely and tirelessly. Nan Li looked at his back with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

As the sun sets, the sunset dyes half of the sky red. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li sit side by side by the campfire, enjoying the rare tranquility. During this period of time, they have experienced the test of life and death together, and have established a deep trust and affection between each other.

"Xingchen, have you ever thought that we may never be able to leave this space?" Nanli suddenly asked, with a hint of sadness in her tone.

Gao Xingchen held her hand and said firmly: "No matter what happens, I will stay with you. Even if we stay here forever, I will let you live a happy life."

Nan Li raised her head and looked at Gao Xingchen's determined eyes, and a warm current surged in her heart. She believed that as long as he was by her side, she would not be afraid no matter what difficulties she encountered.

In this way, they found their own peace and happiness in the unknown space. They explored this magical world together, faced various challenges together, supported each other, and grew together.

However, just when they thought their lives could continue in this peaceful way, an unexpected discovery broke the peace. That day, Gao Xingchen went to the library to study as usual, but found an ancient stone tablet in a secret room deep in the library...

However, just when they thought their lives could continue in this peaceful way, an unexpected discovery broke the peace. That day, Gao Xingchen went to the library to study as usual, but found an ancient stone tablet in a secret room deep in the library. The stone tablet was pitch black, and the surface was covered with strange patterns, which seemed to be carved in some unknown language. Gao Xingchen curiously reached out and touched the stone tablet, and in an instant, the patterns on the stone tablet seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling light...
