Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 35 Danger Signal

The door of the secret room slowly opened, but it did not lead to the long-awaited treasure place, but a cold and damp breath rushed towards him. Gao Xingchen's heart was alarmed, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

"Be careful!" Nan Li shouted in a low voice, and his figure flashed in front of Gao Xingchen like a ghost. The dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light, and he shot down several flying needles that were shot from the darkness.

"Who is it?!" Gao Xingchen roared, circulated his true energy, gently put down Xuanfeng in his arms, and looked around vigilantly.

"Hehe, you reacted pretty quickly." A cold voice sounded in the darkness, with undisguised malice, "Gao Xingchen, I didn't expect that you would have this day!"

As the words fell, the torches around the secret room lit up one after another, illuminating the originally dark space. Gao Xingchen could see clearly that in the center of the secret room, there stood a familiar figure - Lin Feng!

"Lin Feng! Why are you everywhere!" Gao Xingchen was furious. He never expected that Lin Feng would appear in the secret room.

"Want to kill me?" Lin Feng sneered, "Just you, a loser? I have fought for my master for so many years, but in the end I can't even get a decent martial arts book. The opportunity in the ruins should have belonged to me! Coming to snatch it from me is courting death."

"Just you?!" Nan Li snorted coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Just you want to get your hands on the treasure here? You are dreaming!"

"Hmph, whether it's wishful thinking or not, you'll know if you try it!" A vicious look flashed in Lin Feng's eyes, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. Countless runes suddenly lit up on the walls around the secret room, and a powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire space.

"Is this... a formation?!" Gao Xingchen's face changed. Although he didn't understand formations, he also knew their power. Once trapped in a formation, he would be in an extremely passive situation.

"That's right, this is the gift I prepared for you!" Lin Feng laughed wildly with pride, "This is the dragon trap formation that I spent several years to carefully arrange. No matter how strong you are, you will never get out alive!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the formation was activated, and countless fierce attacks came from all directions. Gao Xingchen and Nanli stood back to back, trying their best to resist, but gradually felt that they were unable to do so.

Gao Xingchen was extremely anxious. He knew that if they continued like this, sooner or later their energy would be exhausted and they would become the dead souls under Lin Feng's knife.

At this moment, Nan Li's eyes suddenly focused, as if she had discovered something. She whispered to Gao Xingchen, "Xingchen, be careful, this formation... is not right!"

As soon as Nan Li finished speaking, Gao Xingchen felt an even more dangerous aura emanating from the formation. This aura was incompatible with the power of the formation controlled by Lin Feng. It seemed as if it came from an ancient ferocious beast, bringing with it a heart-pounding sense of oppression.

"Not good! There is another secret behind this formation!" Gao Xingchen's face changed. He realized that Lin Feng might have underestimated the danger of this relic and activated a power beyond his control.

"Hurry, leave the center of the formation!" Nan Li made a prompt decision and pulled Gao Xingchen back.

However, it was too late.

In the center of the formation, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, and a cold black gas gushed out from the crack, transforming into a huge black claw, which slapped towards Gao Xingchen and others with the power to destroy the world.

"Get out of the way!" Nan Li shouted, her figure flashed up like lightning, the dagger in her hand turned into a silver light and stabbed fiercely at the black claws.

"clang!"

There was a loud sound of metal clashing, and Nan Li was pushed back several steps, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. The black claw only paused slightly, and then continued to slap down towards Gao Xingchen and others.

"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen cursed in his heart. He knew that with his own strength, he could not withstand this horrific attack.

At this critical moment, Xuanfeng, who had been unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes. He weakly raised his right hand, put his index finger and middle finger together, and lightly flicked in the direction of the black claws.

"Buzz!"

An invisible wave shot out from Xuanfeng's fingertips and hit the tip of the black claw.

The next moment, a shocking scene appeared.

The seemingly unstoppable black claw actually stopped abruptly less than an inch away from Gao Xingchen and others.

"This is..." Gao Xingchen looked at Xuanfeng in surprise. He didn't expect that Xuanfeng, who was seriously injured, still had such powerful strength.

"Don't just stand there, hurry up!" Xuan Feng endured the severe pain and said intermittently, "I can only stop it for a moment, now is the time to hurry up!"

Gao Xingchen knew that this was their only chance of escape.

He no longer hesitated, picked up Xuanfeng, pulled Nanli, and ran towards the exit of the secret room.

However, just as they were about to escape from the secret room, Lin Feng behind them suddenly let out a hysterical roar.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

Lin Feng was seen quickly forming seals with his hands, and blood-red runes flew out of his body and merged into the formation.

The black claws that were about to dissipate suddenly condensed again at this moment, and their aura was even more terrifying than before.

Gao Xingchen's heart sank. He knew that they were once again in a desperate situation.

The black claws attacked again with suffocating pressure. Gao Xingchen felt desperate. Are they going to die here today? However, Nan Li did not give up. A flash of determination flashed in her eyes. The spiritual power surged around her body. The dagger in her hand seemed to turn into a silver lightning, piercing the joint of the black claws.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black claws were slightly blocked by Nanli's attack. Gao Xingchen took the opportunity to hold Xuanfeng and rolled to the side, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow.

"Xingchen, let's join forces and attack the center of the formation!" Nan Li shouted, dancing the dagger in her hand, her figure erratic, and every attack accurately landed on the weak point of the black claws.

Gao Xingchen immediately understood Nan Li's intention when he heard this. Lin Feng needed to consume a lot of spiritual power to control the black claws, and the center of the formation was the source of his power. As long as the center of the formation was destroyed, this terrifying attack could be completely disintegrated.

The two of them were in tune with each other and cooperated tacitly. Nanli was responsible for restraining the black claws, while Gao Xingchen seized the opportunity to find the center of the formation. When Lin Feng saw the attack of the two, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes. He kept urging his spiritual power to suppress Nanli's attack, but found that his strength was gradually draining away.

"Damn it!" Lin Feng roared angrily. He knew that he could not delay any longer and had to get rid of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li as soon as possible.

With a thought, he controlled the black claws to change the target of attack and slapped Gao Xingchen hard.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli cried out and wanted to go back for help, but was tightly entangled by the black claws and could not escape.

"Hahaha, go to hell!" Lin Feng laughed wildly, as if he had already seen the scene of Gao Xingchen being beaten into meat paste by the black claws.

However, at this critical moment, Gao Xingchen suddenly felt a strange force surging out of Xuanfeng's body and flowing into his own body. He suddenly felt full of strength, as if he had endless spiritual power.

"This is..." Gao Xingchen was shocked. Before he could react, his body reacted instinctively. He clenched his fists, mobilized the surging spiritual power in his body, and punched at the black claw.

With a loud bang, Gao Xingchen's fist collided with the black claws, bursting out with dazzling light.

"puff!"

Lin Feng spat out a mouthful of blood and his face turned pale in an instant. He looked at the scene in disbelief. Gao Xingchen actually shattered his strongest attack with one punch!

Gao Xingchen ignored Lin Feng's shock. He took advantage of the situation and attacked him. His body was as fast as lightning. He came in front of Lin Feng in an instant and punched him in the chest.

Lin Feng wanted to dodge, but found that he was no longer able to resist and could only watch Gao Xingchen's fist fall on him.

"boom!"

Lin Feng's body was knocked away by Gao Xingchen's punch and he fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

Gao Xingchen dealt with Lin Feng and turned to look at Nan Li, only to find that she was staring at him with surprise and confusion in her eyes.

"Xingchen, you..." Nan Li hesitated to speak. She could feel some changes in Gao Xingchen, but the power in his body made her feel strange and familiar.

Gao Xingchen shook his head. He didn’t know what had happened to him, but he knew that now was not the time to explore this issue.

He walked to Lin Feng and found that he had fainted, but his life was not in danger. Gao Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief and sealed Lin Feng up, preparing to make plans after he woke up.

After doing all this, Gao Xingchen and Nanli began to explore the secret room.

They discovered that this secret room was larger than they had imagined and was filled with all kinds of rare treasures. It was obviously the core area of the ruins.

Deep in the secret room, they found a stone door with mysterious runes engraved on it, exuding an ancient and powerful aura.

"What is behind this door?" Gao Xingchen looked at the stone door, his eyes full of curiosity and expectation.

Nan Li pondered for a moment and said, "I have never seen the runes on this door before. I am afraid they are left over from ancient times. Opening it may bring unknown dangers, but it may also hide great opportunities."

Gao Xingchen became even more curious after hearing this. He looked at Nan Li and asked, "Are you scared?"

Nan Li shook her head, a firm look flashed in her eyes, and said, "I'm afraid, but I don't regret it."

Gao Xingchen smiled and said, "Then let's go and see what secrets are hidden behind this door."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the stone door. A powerful force came from the stone door and sucked his hand.

The stone door slowly opened, and a dazzling golden light shot out from the crack in the door, illuminating the entire secret room and the faces of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

At the end of the golden light, they seemed to see a whole new world, full of unknown dangers and opportunities, waiting for their exploration.
