Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 561 - 559 Seek Wealth and Honor in Danger _1

The temperature beneath the Earth Core was simply unbearable for them. Even if Old Mao was a Martial King, he wouldn't be able to last long inside the Earth Core. Not to mention, the Gold-Swallowing Beast was just a cub. As for Wang Zhan and the others, it went without saying...

Wang Zhan paid no heed to their concerns and took the lead, walking slowly towards the depths of the Earth Core.

However, after they had walked for some time, Old Mao suddenly tapped Wang Zhan's shoulder. "Don't you feel it?" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Wang Zhan was startled. He turned around subconsciously, only to find Old Mao's and Xiang Tian's foreheads already covered in beads of sweat. The Gold-Swallowing Beast was even more restless, pacing back and forth. It tried to escape several times, only to be caught and pulled back by Old Mao each time. They still needed the Gold-Swallowing Beast to lead the way; how could they let it sneak off so easily?

Why don't I feel the heat?

Wang Zhan truly felt nothing. There were no visible changes on his face or body, and not even a trace of sweat on his forehead.

This greatly shocked Old Mao as well. He stared at Wang Zhan in surprise and said, "Could it be because of what you're wearing…"

As he spoke, his hand reached out and touched the Heavenly Dragon Armor. Immediately, he felt a cold sensation spread throughout his body. For a moment, Old Mao even felt a hint of coolness.

Did the Heavenly Dragon Armor lower the temperature?

"This thing has a cooling effect too?"

Shocked, Old Mao walked over to Wang Zhan and hugged him tightly. Immediately, he felt as if he had plunged into water—it was indescribably comfortable.

Seeing Old Mao's blissful expression, Wang Zhan felt a shiver of disgust. He rolled his eyes at Old Mao and snapped, "Can you stop being so gross?"

We're all men, and Old Mao's behavior is really making me uncomfortable...

After enjoying the coolness for a while longer, Old Mao reluctantly let go of Wang Zhan. The Gold-Swallowing Beast also jumped into Wang Zhan's arms. Sure enough, the intense, unbearable heat vanished instantly.

Xiang Tian, however, remained quiet. He continued to follow them silently and didn't hug Wang Zhan. But it was clear Xiang Tian was struggling; he was constantly enduring the heat and was now reaching his body's limit.

The temperature is just too high. With every step, I feel more and more awful. If I keep going, I won't be able to bear it much longer...

Soon, the group set off again, but after they had walked less than fifty meters, Xiang Tian finally reached his endurance limit. He plopped down on the ground and said directly, "You guys go on ahead. I'll wait here for you to come back..."

If I keep going, there's no way I'll survive...

Xiang Tian was no fool; he didn't want to gamble with his life.

Wang Zhan glanced at Old Mao beside him and said, "Then you stay here with him?"

There were too many King-level beasts within Hundred Beast Mountain. Although Xiang Tian had reached the level of a Grandmaster, his actual combat strength was too weak. He couldn't compare to the Grandmasters on Earth. If he encountered too many King-level beasts, it would be difficult for him even to escape. Old Mao staying here would provide Xiang Tian with an extra layer of security.

Old Mao shrugged indifferently. "Then you go treasure hunting by yourself."

In truth, I also know I can't last much longer. And we haven't even seen the end of this path yet. Since I know I won't make it to the end, it's better not to waste time.

Once everything was arranged, Wang Zhan headed deeper into the Earth Core again. The Gold-Swallowing Beast remained hidden in his embrace, quite comfortable, and didn't struggle at all.

After walking an unknown distance, Wang Zhan finally reached the deepest part of the Earth Core. As far as the eye could see, the entire place was filled with magma. Amidst the magma, waves of intense heat constantly battered Wang Zhan, but he felt nothing.

He looked down at himself and saw that, at some unknown point, the Heavenly Dragon Armor had completely covered his body. Water ripples were now flowing back and forth across its surface. Clearly, it was because of these Water ripples that Wang Zhan didn't feel any of the heat. Even the Gold-Swallowing Beast, nestled close to the Heavenly Dragon Armor, felt the same.

The Gold-Swallowing Beast, snuggled in Wang Zhan's arms like a child, woke up when Wang Zhan patted its head. It glanced around, and the next second, its eyes widened in shock as it stared at Wang Zhan. "You actually made it here?"

"What? Is there a problem?"

Wang Zhan grinned. Looking at the roiling magma, he said, "If there's no treasure here, I'm throwing you straight in."

"No, no, no!"

The Gold-Swallowing Beast was instantly a little frightened. It looked at Wang Zhan for a good while before finally saying, "I only heard from my elders that there's treasure here. But as for where it actually is... even I can't say for sure..."

The Gold-Swallowing Beast wasn't joking. But when it saw Wang Zhan's gaze, it was on the verge of tears from despair.

"Everything I've said is true! You know how hot it is here. Even royal-level beasts would find it hard to enter this place, let alone us..."

The Gold-Swallowing Beast looked aggrieved. Although it also didn't know how they had arrived here, hiding in Wang Zhan's embrace was truly comfortable. That cool, refreshing sensation had quickly lulled it to sleep, but when it woke up again, it was already here...

Of course, this also made it astounded by Lin Yan's strength.

A place that even a royal-level beast cannot enter, yet Wang Zhan can come and go as he pleases?

Wang Zhan stared at the Gold-Swallowing Beast for a long moment. He also had no clue what lay beneath the magma. Since I can't find the treasure myself, isn't there an easy way? After all, he had the Gold-Swallowing Beast with him. He chuckled and said directly, "If you don't tell me the location of the treasure, I'll throw you into the magma."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan tossed the Gold-Swallowing Beast out of his embrace.

The next second, the Gold-Swallowing Beast immediately started to shriek.

It's just too hot here…

Within mere seconds, it couldn't stand it anymore. The Gold-Swallowing Beast tried to return to Wang Zhan's embrace, but Wang Zhan ignored it, subconsciously stepping back a few paces to maintain distance from the beast.

Due to the enormous difference in strength between the Gold-Swallowing Beast and Wang Zhan, coupled with Wang Zhan's mastery of the Heavenly Thunder Step, in an instant, he had already moved to higher ground.

The Gold-Swallowing Beast reacted, rushing swiftly towards Wang Zhan. But Wang Zhan changed his position again; the next second, he had moved to one side, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly in a smirk. After running back and forth for several rounds, the Gold-Swallowing Beast still couldn't get near Wang Zhan. This made the Gold-Swallowing Beast feel even hotter.

Seeing that the Gold-Swallowing Beast was about to collapse, Wang Zhan slowly walked up to it and grabbed it once more. Instantly, a comfortable coolness spread throughout the Gold-Swallowing Beast's body. It gave Wang Zhan a grateful look, but Wang Zhan said coolly, "It's still the same deal. If you don't tell me where this entrance is, I'll throw you down again."

The Gold-Swallowing Beast's face was filled with despair.

I really don't know…

But seeing from Wang Zhan's expression that he didn't believe its words, the Gold-Swallowing Beast hesitated for a good while before starting to sniff around carefully. The Gold-Swallowing Beast wasn't strong in combat; its only forte was its ability to quickly find the location of treasures.

But just as the Gold-Swallowing Beast was about to activate its ability, it suddenly felt an intense wave of intimidation wash over it. Immediately after, the Gold-Swallowing Beast was sent flying backward!

BOOM!

With a loud crash, the Gold-Swallowing Beast was sent flying, and Wang Zhan also felt powerful energy ripples spreading out. Immediately after, he felt the ground beneath his feet begin to shake violently.

The next second, Wang Zhan's pupils constricted. This…

He saw a giant fire wave suddenly emerge from the magma before him, rushing straight towards him!

BANG!

The fire wave roared towards him like a tidal wave!

Wang Zhan moved as if wind were at his feet, retreating to the side in an instant. But the Gold-Swallowing Beast wasn't so lucky and was directly engulfed by the fire wave.

Wang Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, his expression grim.

The magma has started to move. Things are definitely not as simple as they seem. Could it be that the Gold-Swallowing Beast deliberately tried to detect the treasure, triggering this strange phenomenon?

But he couldn't afford to think about it too much right now, because another fire wave was already crashing down on him! Wang Zhan continuously retreated using the Heavenly Thunder Step, feeling the surrounding temperature rise rapidly. However, no cracks appeared on his Heavenly Dragon Armor, and this level of heat was still within his range of tolerance.

Damn it, I can't drag this out any longer. I originally wanted to try a bit longer here, but now it seems the treasure is incredibly difficult to obtain, and I might even lose my life.

Thinking this, Wang Zhan could only grit his teeth and prepare to leave.

But just as he was preparing to retreat, he suddenly noticed a faint silhouette beneath the fire wave. That is… a big saber?

Wang Zhan stared at the saber in the magma, bound by numerous iron chains, and his eyes lit up.

It seems I truly didn't come here for nothing!

The fire wave pursued him once more.

Wang Zhan gritted his teeth and said in a grim voice, "Fortune is sought in peril! I'll risk it!"

He clenched his fists, and with a surge of courage from an unknown source, charged directly at the fire wave! The next second, Wang Zhan plunged into the fire wave. Under its violent assault, he felt an indescribable, excruciating pain wrack his entire body, as if he were about to be burned to ashes! He hurriedly pushed all the strength in his body to its limit. The next second, his entire being transformed into a streak of light, directly piercing through the fire wave's barrier!

Then, Wang Zhan entered the magma. Soon, he saw the faint silhouette of the saber. He reached out and touched it, and Wang Zhan felt the surrounding iron chains vibrate intensely.

In an instant, a powerful current of air erupted from beneath his feet!

Before Wang Zhan could react, he was sent flying backward!
