Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 316 Black Scale Python

The thick black fog was like a giant beast, opening its bloody mouth to devour everyone. Gao Xingchen endured the erosion of the poisonous miasma, his mind working rapidly, analyzing the danger in front of him. With sharp eyes, he carefully observed the structure of the trap, trying to find a glimmer of hope.

There were some strange patterns carved on the stone at the edge of the trap, which were faintly visible in the dim light. Gao Xingchen frowned slightly. These patterns seemed chaotic, but they seemed to contain a mystery. He stretched out his fingers and gently touched those patterns. A bone-chilling chill instantly spread throughout his body.

"Star power!" Gao Xingchen's heart moved, and a flash of inspiration flashed through his mind. These patterns are not ordinary decorations, but some kind of formation used to guide and control the power of the stars! He looked up at the sky. Although it was obscured by thick fog, Gao Xingchen could still feel the weak energy coming from the distant starry sky.

"I see!" Gao Xingchen's mouth slightly raised, revealing a confident smile. He took a deep breath, mobilized the star power in his body, and slowly injected it into the lines. With the injection of star power, the originally icy cold lines gradually became warm, emitting a faint starlight.

"Start!" Gao Xingchen shouted, and quickly formed seals with his hands. Rays of starlight shot out from his fingertips, connecting the patterns on the edge of the trap to form a complex formation. As the formation was activated, a strong suction force came from the trap, and the poisonous miasma that originally filled the air seemed to have found an outlet, rushing madly to the center of the trap.

Gao Xingchen did not dare to neglect it. He kept changing seals with his hands to control the output of the star power. Gradually, the poisonous miasma in the trap gradually dissipated, revealing its original appearance. The bottom of the trap was covered with sharp spikes, emitting a cold light. If you fall into it, the consequences will be disastrous.

Seeing this scene, the family members who were originally panicking suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and cast admiring glances at Gao Xingchen. Elder Zhao was even more excited and said in a trembling voice: "Young Master is indeed a genius. He can actually break such a vicious trap!"

Gao Xingchen looked calm, he knew that this was only temporary safety, the real danger had not been eliminated. He turned to look at Xuanfeng beside him, and said in a deep voice: "Xuanfeng, take a few people and search the surroundings carefully to see if you can find the mechanism that controls the trap!"

"Yes, young master!" Xuanfeng took the order and took several family members with him to carefully search the surrounding environment.

Gao Xingchen continued to maintain the formation and observed his surroundings vigilantly. He knew that since the enemy dared to set up such a trap, they must have a backup plan and he must not take it lightly.

Xuan Feng took the order with a serious expression. He knew that he was responsible for the safety of everyone and dared not slack off. He carefully observed the surrounding environment. The towering trees, the vines, the thick fallen leaves on the ground, everything seemed quiet and strange.

"Everyone, split up and search carefully for any suspicious places. Remember to be careful!" Xuanfeng lowered his voice and said to the young men around him.

Everyone nodded and dispersed, lurking in the dense forest like cheetahs, scanning every corner with sharp eyes.

Gao Xingchen stood still, maintaining the operation of the formation, while paying attention to the search of Xuanfeng and others. He knew that time was running out and the enemy could appear at any time, so he had to find the mechanism to control the trap as soon as possible.

Time passed by minute by minute, and a tense atmosphere filled the air.

"Young Master, look!"

Suddenly, the voice of a disciple broke the silence. He pointed at a towering tree not far away, with a hint of excitement in his tone.

Gao Xingchen and Xuanfeng rushed over upon hearing the sound, only to see a complex pattern carved on the trunk of the giant tree, which was exactly the same as the pattern on the edge of the trap.

"Found it!" A gleam of light flashed in Xuanfeng's eyes, "This should be the mechanism to control the trap!"

Gao Xingchen nodded and observed the pattern carefully, trying to find a way to crack it.

"Young Master, let me try!" Xuanfeng volunteered. He knew that Gao Xingchen needed to maintain the formation and could not be distracted.

Gao Xingchen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Be careful!"

Xuanfeng took a deep breath, mobilized the internal energy, and slowly injected it into the pattern.

With the injection of true energy, the pattern gradually brightened up and emitted a faint golden light.

"There's a reaction!" Everyone was delighted when they saw this.

However, at this moment, something strange happened!

The originally calm pattern suddenly trembled violently, and the golden light became brighter. A powerful repulsive force pushed Xuan Feng back several steps.

"Not good!" Gao Xingchen's face changed, his figure flashed, appeared beside Xuanfeng, and caught him steadily.

"Cough cough..." Xuanfeng's face was pale, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had suffered internal injuries.

"Are you okay?" Gao Xingchen asked with concern.

"I'm fine, young master!" Xuan Feng shook his head and struggled to stand up. "It seems that it is not easy to crack this mechanism!"

Gao Xingchen frowned, staring at the pattern that was constantly flashing with golden light, and fell into deep thought. He knew that since the enemy dared to set up such a sophisticated mechanism, they must have made perfect preparations. It would be impossible to crack it easily!

What to do?

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Xuan Feng asked anxiously, holding his chest. The other family members also looked worried. They were trapped in a trap, in a dilemma, and the situation was not optimistic.

"What are you panicking about!" Elder Zhao, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, a gleam of light flashing in his cloudy eyes, "Young Master will make his own decision, all of you just need to follow his orders!"

Elder Zhao is a highly respected elder in the family. His words are like a magic needle that instantly calms the restless hearts of everyone.

Gao Xingchen looked at Elder Zhao gratefully, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Since a strong attack doesn't work, then we'll use our wits to defeat him!"

He looked around and his eyes fell on a tree as thick as a bowl. A confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Xuanfeng, take two people with you and cut down that tree!" Gao Xingchen pointed at the tree and ordered in a deep voice.

Although Xuanfeng didn't understand Gao Xingchen's intention, he took the order without hesitation.

"Young Master, what are you doing..." Elder Zhao asked puzzledly.

"Elder Zhao, please watch!" Gao Xingchen smiled mysteriously without explaining too much.

Soon, Xuanfeng brought two family members to cut down the tree, and according to Gao Xingchen's instructions, they cut the trunk into a huge wooden stake.

"Young master, the wooden stakes are ready!" Xuanfeng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said respectfully.

"Okay!" Gao Xingchen took the wooden stake, walked to the giant tree carved with complex patterns, placed the wooden stake in the center of the pattern, then took a deep breath and slammed his palms on the wooden stake!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the wooden stake hit the pattern hard under Gao Xingchen's huge force!

Golden light shone everywhere, the pattern trembled violently, and a powerful energy wave spread in all directions.

"Retreat quickly!" Gao Xingchen was prepared. He shouted loudly and led everyone to retreat quickly.

Just as everyone retreated to a safe distance, the giant tree collapsed and the trap disappeared.

"call……"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the joy of surviving the disaster surged in their hearts.

"Young Master is wise!" Elder Zhao was the first to react and exclaimed excitedly.

"Young Master is truly both wise and brave!"

"Yes, if it weren't for the young master, we would probably be..."

Other family members also spoke up, their words full of admiration and gratitude.

Gao Xingchen smiled modestly. He knew that this was just a small episode and the real challenge was still to come.

He raised his head and looked into the distance, his eyes firm and deep: "Everyone, let's keep moving forward! Mr. Sun's interference is only part of the trial, the real test is still waiting for us!"

Hearing this, everyone was inspired and followed Gao Xingchen closely, continuing on their journey towards the unknown...

Deep in the dense forest, the miasma was everywhere, hiding countless unknown dangers. What would they face? Passing through the dense forest, the miasma in the air became thicker and thicker, with a nauseating stench. Gao Xingchen and his group held their breath and groped forward cautiously.

"Everyone, be careful. The miasma is poisonous, and there may be hidden dangers in this dense forest." Gao Xingchen warned in a low voice, scanning the surrounding environment with sharp eyes.

Just as he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the jungle, and the ground began to shake.

"Roar--!"

A giant python covered with black scales suddenly emerged from the dense forest, its bloody mouth opened wide, revealing sharp fangs, and a fishy smell filled the face.

"It's a black-scaled python! Everyone be careful!" Elder Zhao's face changed and he exclaimed in surprise.

The black-scaled python is a notoriously ferocious monster with immense strength, amazing defense, and extremely poisonous venom. Even experienced hunters dare not provoke it easily.

"Everyone, don't panic, form a formation to meet the enemy!" Gao Xingchen remained calm in the face of danger and gave the order in a deep voice.

The family members were well-trained and quickly formed a defensive formation, protecting Gao Xingchen and Elder Zhao in the center.

"Xuanfeng, take a few people to attack from the side and attract its attention!" Gao Xingchen calmly analyzed the battle situation and made quick deployments.

"Yes!" Xuanfeng took the order without hesitation and led several family members, holding sharp blades, and went around the black-scaled python from the side.

The black-scaled python was enraged, and it swung its huge body violently, breaking several large trees in half, and chased after Xuanfeng and the others.

"The opportunity has come!" Gao Xingchen's eyes focused and he shouted, "Everyone, attack with all your strength!"

Before he finished speaking, Gao Xingchen took the lead in attacking. The sword in his hand turned into a cold light and pierced the black-scaled python's vital point.

"Ding!"

A crisp metal collision sound was heard, and Gao Xingchen's sword was actually bounced away by the hard scales of the black-scaled python.

"What a strong defense!" Gao Xingchen was shocked, but his hands did not stop moving. He nimbly dodged the attack of the black-scaled python. At the same time, he commanded his family members to seize the opportunity and launch a fierce attack.

For a moment, there were flashes of swords and shouts of killing, and a fierce battle unfolded in the dense forest.

Under Gao Xingchen's skillful command, the family members cooperated well with each other, both offensively and defensively, and gradually gained the upper hand.

Finally, after a hard fight, the Black Scale Python was pierced seven inches by Gao Xingchen's sword. It let out an unwilling wail and its huge body fell to the ground with a bang.

"we won!"

"Young Master is mighty!"

The family members cheered and their morale was boosted.

Gao Xingchen did not relax his vigilance. He scanned the surroundings with vigilance and said in a deep voice: "Everyone, don't take it lightly. There are dangers everywhere in this dense forest. We must continue to move forward."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped smiling and followed Gao Xingchen closely, continuing to move deeper into the dense forest.

Defeating the black-scaled python was just a small episode on their road to trial, and there were more challenges waiting for them ahead. Gao Xingchen and Xuanfeng walked side by side at the front of the team. They vaguely felt that there seemed to be some secret hidden in the depths of the dense forest, and this secret might be closely related to the purpose of their trip...
