Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

The escape pod was shaking violently. Nan Li tightly grasped the armrest of the seat, his face pale. Xiao Bai's anxious voice sounded in his ears: "Master, the wreckage of Gao Xingchen's escape pod was found ahead!"

Nan Li's heart sank suddenly. Could it be that Gao Xingchen... No, she would never believe it! She forced herself to calm down and ordered, "Xiao Bai, scan the wreckage and look for signs of life!"

"Scanning... weak signs of life detected!"

Nan Li suddenly felt hopeful, and she rushed to the wreckage as fast as she could. She saw that the escape pod was badly damaged, and Gao Xingchen was lying unconscious inside, covered in blood.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li rushed forward desperately and hugged Gao Xingchen in his arms. He was still breathing, but his breath was weak, as if he would disappear at any time.

"Xiaobai, come on, help me contact Master Li!" Nanli's voice was trembling. The only person she could rely on now was this highly respected master of magic weapons.

Master Li's interstellar communication was quickly connected. Seeing Nan Li's anxious expression and Gao Xingchen's bruised body on the screen, he immediately understood what had happened.

"Don't worry, kid. I'll be there soon." Master Li's voice was steady and powerful, like a reassurance pill, calming Nan Li's panicked heart a little.

Master Li's residence is located on a remote, uninhabited planet. The environment here is quiet and peaceful, making it an excellent place for practicing. When Nan Li rushed there with Gao Xingchen at the fastest speed, Master Li had already prepared healing pills and magic arrays.

After taking the pill, Gao Xingchen's face gradually regained its rosy color and his breathing became steady. Nan Li stayed by his side until he slowly opened his eyes.

"Lier, I... cough cough..." Gao Xingchen wanted to speak, but his wound was affected and he started coughing violently.

"Don't talk, just have a good rest." Nan Li held his hand lovingly, her eyes red.

"Those people... ahem... who are they from?" Gao Xingchen asked weakly. He would never forget the cold and ruthless faces of those people.

"Don't worry, I will find out." Nan Li said in a firm tone, with a cold light in his eyes.

Master Li looked at the two of them, sighed, and said slowly: "Kids, the enemies you are facing are far more powerful than you think. According to my investigation, there is probably a mysterious organization behind them. This organization is powerful, cruel, and has unclear goals. Even I know very little about it."

"Mysterious organization?" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts.

"Yes, this organization acts in secret, and few people know of their existence. However, I once accidentally got some clues about them, which may be able to help you." Master Li said, taking out an ancient jade slip from his arms.

"It contains some information about that organization, as well as some of their weaknesses. However, it is difficult to tell whether this information is true or false, so you must use it with caution." Master Li solemnly handed the jade slip to Nan Li.

Nan Li took the jade slip and nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Master Li. We will be careful."

It would take some time for Gao Xingchen to recover from his injuries, so Nan Li decided to stay with Master Li for the time being. She knew that a bigger storm was coming, and she had to hurry up and make full preparations.

In the dead of night, Nan Li came out of the house alone, looking at the starry sky, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. She didn't know what was waiting for her and Gao Xingchen, but she knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would not give up, and for their common future, she would try her best!

Nan Li placed the jade slip given by Master Li between her eyebrows, and the ancient text turned into flowing light and flowed into her mind. The content recorded in it shocked her. This mysterious organization is called "Shadow". Its style of doing things is just like its name. It hides in the darkness and controls countless conspiracies and killings in the star field. They believe in an evil ritual called "Star Core Devouring". They try to use the power of devouring star cores to break the barriers between star fields and gain supreme power.

"Star core devouring?" Nan Li muttered to herself. She remembered Gao Xingchen once said that those who were chasing them seemed to want to take something from him. Could it be that Gao Xingchen was hiding a secret about the star core?

"Child, what are you thinking about?" Master Li came behind Nanli at some point, and there was a hint of worry in his old voice.

Nan Li came back to his senses and told Master Li the contents of the jade slip and his own guesses. Master Li frowned after listening, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It seems that the enemy we encountered this time is more difficult than we thought."

"Master Li, do you have any solution?" Nan Li asked anxiously.

"There is a way, but..." Master Li hesitated as he looked at Gao Xingchen who was practicing in the distance. "Xingchen has a special bloodline and is naturally sensitive to the power of star cores. This is why he was targeted by the Shadow. If you want to completely solve the problem, you must help Xingchen control his own power, otherwise he will always be the target of the Shadow."

"I understand." Nan Li's eyes were firm. She clenched her fists and swore secretly in her heart that no matter what the cost, she would protect Gao Xingchen and keep him safe.

So, in the following days, Nanli and Master Li began to secretly train Gao Xingchen. Master Li taught Gao Xingchen the method of controlling the power of the star core, while Nanli was responsible for helping him improve his combat ability. One of them focused on the technique, and the other focused on martial arts. They cooperated well and taught each other everything they had learned.

At the same time, Xiaobai also used his special spatial perception ability to gather information everywhere. Like an invisible ghost, he shuttled between the planets and collected information about the "shadow".

"Master, I found that 'Shadow' has been searching for people with special bloodlines recently. Their target seems to be..." Xiaobai's voice suddenly became intermittent, as if it was disturbed by something.

"Xiaobai, what's wrong with you? What is your goal?" Nan Li's heart tightened and he asked quickly.

However, Xiaobai's voice disappeared completely, and no matter how Nanli called, there was no response.

An ominous premonition came to Nanli's mind, and she realized that they might have been targeted by the "shadow"...

The communication was suddenly interrupted, and Xiaobai's breath disappeared without a trace. Nanli's heart sank suddenly. She knew that Xiaobai must have encountered danger, and the source of the danger was undoubtedly "Shadow".

"Shadow" can actually block Xiaobai's spatial perception. It seems that their strength is stronger than expected. Nan Li took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Now is not the time to panic. She must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible to rescue Xiaobai and protect Gao Xingchen.

"Master Li, can you track Xiaobai's location?" Nanli asked anxiously.

Master Li closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment. After shaking his head, he sighed and said, "Xiao Bai's spatial talent is different from that of ordinary people. Since 'Shadow' can block its perception, I'm afraid it has set up a powerful restriction. I can't do anything about it."

Nan Li's heart sank to the bottom. Was she just going to watch Xiao Bai fall into the hands of the enemy? No, she would never give up!

"Master Li, you said before that 'Shadow''s target is the star core power on the stars, right?" Nan Li asked.

"That's right." Master Li nodded. "Xingchen carries the blood of the ancient star god and is naturally able to sense the power of the star core. 'Shadow' is trying to use his blood to perform an evil ritual. We must stop them before they succeed!"

Nan Li's eyes flashed with determination, "In this case, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"

"Take the initiative?" Master Li was stunned. "What do you want to do?"

Nan Li told Master Li all his plans. After listening to them, Master Li couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Kid, your plan is too risky! The strength of 'Shadow' is unfathomable. If you go there alone, you will be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth!"

Nan Li shook her head and said firmly, "I know it's dangerous to do this, but we have no choice. Xiaobai's life or death is uncertain, and Xingchen may be attacked at any time. Instead of waiting to die, we might as well give it a try!"

Seeing that Nan Li had made up her mind, Master Li stopped trying to dissuade her. He took out an ancient jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Nan Li. "Child, this jade pendant contains my life's work. It can help you in times of crisis. Remember, come back alive!"

Nan Li took the jade pendant and nodded solemnly, "Thank you, Master Li, I will definitely return safely!"

After careful planning, Nanli decided to launch a surprise attack on the lair of "Dark Shadow" on a full moon night. According to the information Xiaobai had collected before, the lair of "Dark Shadow" was located on a desolate planet called "Nether Star", which was shrouded in thick darkness all year round and was an excellent place to practice evil magic.

In order to ensure the success of the plan, Nan Li decided to go alone and let Gao Xingchen recover from his injuries in the rear. She knew that Gao Xingchen would definitely oppose her decision, but she couldn't let him take risks. He was her only hope and she had to protect him.

Before leaving, Nan Li came to Gao Xingchen, gently held his hand, and said softly: "Xingchen, I'm going out for a while, wait for me to come back."

Gao Xingchen opened his eyes and saw the determination in Nanli's eyes. He vaguely guessed something in his heart, "Where are you going? Take me with you!"

"No, this operation is too dangerous, you can't go!" Nan Li refused.

"No, I want to go with you!" Gao Xingchen struggled to get up, but was held down by Nanli.

"Be good and stay here to recover and wait for me to come back." Nan Li leaned over and kissed Gao Xingchen gently on the forehead, "When I come back, we will get married."

Gao Xingchen was stunned. He looked at Nan Li's determined eyes and knew he couldn't stop her. He held Nan Li's hand and said solemnly, "I'll wait for you to come back. You must be safe."

Nan Li nodded, her eyes full of tenderness. She turned and left, her figure disappearing into the night.

Nan Li took the magic weapon provided by Xiao Bai and Master Li and embarked on the road of revenge with a firm belief in her heart. She didn't know whether she could successfully complete the task and rescue Gao Xingchen, but she would never give up, even at the cost of her life!

"Xingchen, wait for me to come back and we'll get married." Nan Li's voice was very soft, but it was like a stone that stirred up thousands of waves in Gao Xingchen's heart. He held Nan Li's hand tightly, and the cold touch of her fingertips made his heart tighten.

"Li'er, I..." Gao Xingchen wanted to say something, but was gently interrupted by Nan Li.

"I know what you want to say, but Xingchen, listen to me," Nanli said firmly, "You are my hope, I must protect you. This operation is too dangerous, I can't let you take risks."

Gao Xingchen wanted to say more, but was defeated by Nan Li's gaze. He understood that Nan Li had already made a decision, and any dissuasion would be futile. He could only turn all his worries and reluctance into a promise: "I will wait for you to come back, and you must be safe and sound."

Nan Li's eyes were slightly red. She leaned over and kissed Gao Xingchen on the forehead gently, like a promise, but also like a farewell. The moment she turned around, a tear quietly slipped down and disappeared into the night.

Under the cover of night, Nan Li's figure gradually faded away. Gao Xingchen watched her leave until she disappeared. He dropped his arms helplessly, his heart filled with worry and uneasiness. He knew that Nan Li's journey would be extremely dangerous, but he could only choose to believe her and wait for her safe return.

Nan Li took Xiao Bai and flew towards the direction of the "Nether Star" according to the star map drawn by Master Li. She wore the jade pendant given by Master Li close to her body, and the cool touch made her feel a little comforted.

"Master, are we really going to 'Netherworld Star'? That's the lair of 'Shadow' and it's very dangerous!" Xiaobai lay on Nanli's shoulder, his tone full of worry.

"Xiaobai, I know you are worried about me, but we have no choice," Nanli gently stroked Xiaobai's soft fur, "Xingchen is still waiting for us, I must save him."

"But..." Xiaobai wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Nanli, "No buts, we don't have time anymore."

Nan Li's tone was firm, and her eyes were shining with determination. She knew that going to "Netherworld Star" would be a life-or-death journey, but she had made up her mind to rescue Gao Xingchen no matter what.

After several days of interstellar travel, Nanli and Xiaobai finally arrived near the "Nether Star". Just as Master Li said, the "Nether Star" is shrouded in darkness all year round. From a distance, it looks like a huge black eyeball, emitting a heart-pounding breath.

Nan Li took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, and controlled the spaceship, slowly approaching the "Nether Star". Just as the spaceship was about to enter the atmosphere of the "Nether Star", a violent space fluctuation came, and the spaceship shook violently.

"Oh no, it's a trap set by 'Shadow'!" Nan Li's face changed, realizing that he might have fallen into the trap of "Shadow".

The spaceship was shaking violently, and the communication system was also disturbed, making a harsh noise. Nan Li tried to stabilize her body, but found that the spaceship was being pulled by a powerful force and falling towards the depths of the "Netherworld Star"...
