Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 564 - 562: Searching for a Way to Survive_1

Xiao Bai hung his head low, well aware of how terrifying the recent scene had been.

Those two King-level beasts had charged at him like madmen. For a moment, his mind had even gone blank.

Later, he thought he had fallen into a desperate situation, but to his surprise, Xiang Tian and his group miraculously appeared.

"You don't have to go back."

Suddenly, Wang Zhan, who hadn't spoken until now, quietly broke his silence.

"On our way here, a more troublesome creature appeared over there."

"Judging from its power, it has probably already joined the ranks of level 1 demonic beasts."

"Never mind that you'll just end up as its meal if you go back; even if all of us went together, we wouldn't stand a chance against that creature."

This... Xiao Bai, utterly shocked, looked at Xiang Tian and asked, "Really?"

Xiang Tian nonchalantly nodded.

Xiao Bai was immediately engulfed by despair.

Wang Zhan, however, seemingly unperturbed by their emotions, approached Xiao Bai and asked, "Where is everyone hiding? Take us there."

How did it come to this? Our home is nearly gone, and he's still thinking about some things? That's utterly ridiculous.

"In the sanctuary," Xiao Bai replied after a moment, his mind still on the items he had planned to retrieve.

"Lead us there," Wang Zhan commanded indifferently.

Only then did Xiao Bai lead the group into the forest.

Within less than half an hour, Wang Zhan and his group encountered several more King-level beasts, but they eliminated them all.

Soon, they arrived before the so-called sanctuary.

The so-called sanctuary was a massive space built underground.

According to Xiao Bai, many such sanctuaries existed in the fifth war zone, built as a precaution against sudden disasters.

Xiao Bai stepped forward, knocked on the fully sealed door, and then watched as it slowly opened, revealing Xiang Zhanfei, who came out to greet them.

He had thought it was Xiao Bai returning and was about to ask about the situation at the camp, but he was utterly shocked to see the people standing beside Xiao Bai.

He then quickly walked over to Xiang Tian, grabbed his arm, and asked, "You're all okay?"

Xiang Tian shrugged nonchalantly, then smiled and said, "We're fine."

Xiang Zhanfei immediately broke into a smile and ushered Xiang Tian and the others into the sanctuary.

Once inside, Wang Zhan realized just how vast it was.

Looking around, he saw rooms filled with advanced technology and imagined it must have taken a considerable amount of time to construct all this.

But could they just hide here forever? If demonic beasts completely overran the Fifth Battlefield, this place would gradually turn into ruins. If they wanted to leave then, they would encounter endless beasts. Wouldn't that be a dead end? Realizing this, Wang Zhan shook his head and chuckled. It's just a waste of time.

"Little Brother, thank you for your help this time," Xiang Zhanfei said. Unlike Xiang Tian, he did not blame Wang Zhan for the current situation.

Wang Zhan merely nodded in response, then asked, "Is there a room where my friend can rest?"

While saying this, he glanced at Old Mao beside him.

Only now did Xiang Zhanfei notice that Old Mao had lost an arm.

He quickly instructed Xiao Bai to take Old Mao to a room, then came over to Wang Zhan and asked anxiously, "Little Brother, what kind of terrifying thing did you encounter?"

Xiang Zhanfei knew of Old Mao's capabilities. He was a Martial King; how could he possibly be harmed by those King-level beasts?

Even if there were many King-level beasts, it wouldn't have been difficult for Old Mao to escape if he had wanted to.

As Wang Zhan sat down to one side, his expression gradually turned grim.

He set down the Deep Fire Blade he carried on his back and said directly, "It was a level 1 demonic beast."

This... Xiang Zhanfei looked at Wang Zhan in shock. "Could you have seen incorrectly?"

How powerful was a level 1 demonic beast?

Even if everyone here went out together, they wouldn't be a match for a level 1 demonic beast...

At this thought, Xiang Zhanfei's complexion worsened considerably.

Wang Zhan nodded firmly and said again, "There's no mistake. It is a level 1 demonic beast, and right now, it is lurking around your camp."

When they heard 'level 1 demonic beast,' the surrounding crowd immediately gathered, their faces turning deathly pale.

There were already so many King-level beasts outside; they already had no way to survive. But now a level 1 demonic beast had actually appeared?

Wasn't this pushing them into a dead end?

Wang Zhan ignored their expressions and said straightforwardly, "My intention is for everyone to pack their things and then follow me out of here."

"Leave this place?"

The crowd immediately started talking all at once.

"This place is our home, how can we possibly leave?"

"Right! I won't leave no matter what!"

"Fight them to the end!"

Heh… Watching the crowd, Wang Zhan smirked. Where does this bunch get their confidence? They can't even deal with King-level beasts, yet they want to contend with a level 1 demonic beast? Utterly ridiculous.

Xiang Tian, who was standing to the side, also walked up to the crowd. Although he didn't want to follow Wang Zhan's arrangements, he still said, "Let's leave."

The Earth Core Flames on Hundred Beast Mountain have already erupted. With King-level beasts and now a level 1 demonic beast here, the fifth war zone is probably going to be destroyed...

Xiang Zhanfei looked towards Wang Zhan and anxiously asked, "Isn't there any other solution?"

Wang Zhan gave a cold laugh. "Heh… If there were a solution, Old Mao wouldn't have lost his arm."

He hadn't even reacted at the time; he didn't even know what had happened.

He only saw Old Mao's arm disappear just like that.

Recalling that scene now still sent shivers down Wang Zhan's spine.

A level 1 demonic beast is terrifying to this extent; it's simply not something I can contend with right now.

"Then we'll listen to Little Brother's arrangements. Everyone, prepare; we'll be ready to leave at any time!" Xiang Zhanfei declared.

Although Xiang Zhanfei was reluctant—the fifth war zone was the home they had managed for many years—they had no other choice given the circumstances.

However, the crowd remained motionless. One of the older men looked at Xiang Zhanfei and asked directly, "Then where can we go?"

The areas surrounding the fifth war zone are all battlefields.

The situation on those battlefields is even more complicated than in the fifth war zone. How could it be so easy to leave?

By then, wouldn't we still...

"You delineate war zones by number; shouldn't there be other war zones nearby?" Wang Zhan looked at them curiously and asked directly, "Where are the fourth war zone and the sixth war zone?"

Xiang Zhanfei shook his head with a bitter smile. "It's not as simple as you think, Little Brother."

"We do indeed delineate war zones by number, but the distance between them is beyond your imagination."

"To enter another war zone, we first have to break through the outer defense line. But as you know, there is constant warfare out there, and the defense line is constantly being pushed back. Who would be able to look after us?"

So that's how it is, Wang Zhan now understood. Although I've left one Land of Death, I've just entered another.

Seeing Wang Zhan's expression, Xiang Zhanfei, who was beside him, further explained, "It seems this is indeed your first time on the Star War Battlefield, Little Brother."

"Actually, there are many regions in the Star War Battlefield. The place we are in now is the lowest-level region, also known as the Lower Domain."

"It's not just the fifth war zone that's like this; the remaining war zones are all the same."

"This place of ours is only a little more advanced than Earth, that's all."

Wang Zhan looked at him in shock and asked, "Do you mean there are other domains above us, in the sky?"

"That's right!" Xiang Zhanfei said seriously. "But those places are all full of powerful experts, and the demonic beasts one encounters there are not what we can imagine..."

"So, it's not that the people from the higher domains don't give us a chance to enter; it's that if our abilities are insufficient, we'll just become food for the demonic beasts if we go to those upper domains..."

Wang Zhan nodded; he was gradually beginning to understand.

So I've just gone from one weak place to another weak place.

But what shocked Wang Zhan was that even a place like this, the lowest level, could have level 1 demonic beasts. What kind of terrifying creatures must exist in the higher domains?

"So, what should we do now?" Xiang Zhanfei's gaze once again fell on Wang Zhan.

After all, leadership positions go to the capable, and Wang Zhan's combat power was indeed much stronger than his own.

The fact that he could escape from a level 1 demonic beast was proof enough.

Of course, there was also the fact that he had dealt with the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon.

Wang Zhan rubbed his temples and, after a moment, said with a frown, "Regardless, we must find a way to leave this place now."

"Don't you understand? If we continue to delay, once the number of beasts here multiplies, will we still have any chance of leaving? At that point, this place will become even more terrifying than the defense line outside!"

It will be a massive Shura field!

Although the crowd was somewhat reluctant, this time no one voiced any objections. They all prepared to follow Wang Zhan's intentions.

Seeing their attitude, Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction and then said, "Since everyone has decided, go back and pack your things. I'll take some people out later to check the situation outside. If there are no problems, we'll break out tonight!"

"As for which direction to take, I'll need you all to decide that!"
