Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 567 - 565: Before One Wave Subsides, Another One Rises_1
The Metal Man was a level 1 demonic beast; they definitely wouldn’t dare to clash head-on with it again. Otherwise, even for Wang Zhan, leading them to get away would be extremely difficult.
As time ticked by, luckily, there was no movement in their surroundings.
Wang Zhan and the others had carefully examined their surroundings. The situation in the camp remained roughly the same: everyone inside was dead.
They were the only survivors.
At this moment, Wang Zhan and the others had entered the main tent of the camp.
The remaining people were quietly hiding in their rooms; none dared to make a sound, not even to turn on any light. Otherwise, if they startled the level 1 demonic beast, they might find it hard even to leave this place, and in the end, they could only wait for death there.
Wang Zhan and other core figures like Xiang Zhanfei remained in the main camp.
Xiang Zhanfei, looking at Wang Zhan beside him, suddenly spoke, "What are we supposed to do? Are we going to continue wasting time here?"
Staying here would only mean waiting for the Metal Man to find them.
The final outcome was predictable: escaping from here would only become increasingly difficult for them.
After all, once the Metal Man breached the camp’s defenses and stormed in, where could they possibly hide?
Wang Zhan stared at the few people beside him, his finger tapping rhythmically on the tabletop. His expression grew grimmer before he finally said, "We can’t just sit here waiting for death. Everyone, pack up simply; we’re preparing to break out!"
Everyone was stunned. "Break out?" They all looked at Wang Zhan in bewilderment. After all, there was nothing currently surrounding them. Why would they need to break out?
Then Wang Zhan walked over to them and glanced outside the tent.
"We might have alerted them with our movements."
"I can sense that something is closing in on us."
At this, everyone was dumbfounded. Xiang Zhanfei, in particular, immediately rose and headed outside.
The people currently hiding in the camp were all their relatives, friends, and acquaintances.
If anything went wrong, how could his heart not ache?
Besides, after these recent operations, everyone had gradually come to believe Wang Zhan.
Without Wang Zhan, they wouldn’t have made it this far.
The fifth war zone was now beast territory, and they could only rely on Wang Zhan to get out of here!
Xiang Zhanfei quickly gathered everyone together.
But when everyone had gathered in the camp, their faces suddenly turned much grimmer.
Then, they just felt a colossal shadow descend from the sky, and the next second, a giant foot slammed down!
BOOM!
With that single stomp, a large part of the camp was flattened...
Everyone quickly gathered around Wang Zhan. Xiang Zhanfei squinted at the big guy standing before them, clenched his fists tightly, and then said, "This must be a royal-level beast—a Giant Beast!"
Although Xiang Zhanfei was from the inner region of the fifth war zone, he had participated in battles before and naturally had some knowledge of these creatures.
With just one look, he identified the creature.
"A royal-level beast?"
Everyone looked at Xiang Zhanfei in confusion. They had never even encountered a King-level beast before, having always stayed comfortably in the rear. Who could have imagined such a terrifying big guy appearing here?
Moreover, prior to the royal-level beast was a level 1 demonic beast!
What on earth was going on in the fifth war zone now?
Everyone’s faces quickly turned much grimmer, and they all moved closer to Wang Zhan.
Clearly, Wang Zhan had now become their pillar of support. If they wanted to get out of here, they could only do as Wang Zhan said.
However, Wang Zhan’s expression was also grim; after all, the Giant Beast would not be easy to deal with.
Although they had numbers on their side and faced only a single royal-level beast, the main problem was its extreme formidability.
The Giant Beast’s attack power, while perhaps not as formidable as other beasts of the same level, was offset by its astonishing defense. Breaching the Giant Beast’s defenses would be no easy task.
Wang Zhan stepped in front of the crowd, narrowed his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I’ll hold this thing off. You all find a way to leave; break out of the fifth war zone as quickly as possible!"
Initially, when they’d left their previous base, they had thought of entering a camp like this one, seeking the greatest possible protection. But what about now? Even the people in this camp were... They had absolutely no hope left of remaining here.
For a moment, people began to discuss among themselves.
"If it wasn’t for you, we wouldn’t need to be here. If I’d known, I would have stayed in the base."
"Yeah, at least in the base, we could still live. But here? We can only wait for death!"
"No, I’m leaving!"
Although the Giant Beast was right in front of them, no one was willing to continue heading out of the fifth war zone.
In reality, the divisions between war zones were interspersed with beast territory. This meant that between any two war zones lay many powerful beasts, and the purpose of these war zones was to contain these beasts, preventing their further encroachment!
Once they entered beast territory, wouldn’t they be like sheep going to the slaughter? Trying to escape from there would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible.
Thinking this, the crowd’s resolve wavered once more.
However, Wang Zhan just looked at them coldly and ordered, "Shut up!"
Xiang Zhanfei also chimed in, "Enough! Even if we return to the underground base now, what then? Wouldn’t we just be caught there with no way out?"
"Ultimately, we’d just be trapped in there until we die!"
"Our best chance now is to follow Wang Zhan; perhaps there’s still a way out."
After all, Wang Zhan had created miracles more than once.
A level 1 demonic beast couldn’t even trouble Wang Zhan, which was enough to prove his abilities!
Now, everyone’s hopes were all on Wang Zhan!
Wang Zhan nodded heavily, then said in a solemn tone, "Mr. Xiang, take everyone and leave this place."
They all looked at each other. Although they still wanted to speak, since Xiang Zhanfei had already spoken, how could they dare disobey him?
Xiang Tian quickly walked to Wang Zhan’s side and asked, "What about you? What are you planning? Are you going to pull that lone hero act again? Planning to stay here and fight these things by yourself?"
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes and grinned. "What else?"
He’d interacted with Xiang Tian for some time and naturally knew what kind of person he was. Xiang Tian was the type with a sharp tongue but a soft heart; he wouldn’t abandon those around him in times of danger. Of course, Wang Zhan appreciated this about him. If not for this, he wouldn’t have bothered with these people from the camp at all. They were mostly a bunch of cold-blooded and heartless individuals.
"How about I take this one?"
Suddenly, an old voice came from behind the crowd.
Everyone turned their heads, only then noticing Old Mao standing behind the crowd.
Upon seeing Old Mao’s appearance, everyone’s face changed.
Wang Zhan, especially, subconsciously hurried to Old Mao’s side, grasped his arm, and fixed his gaze on his hair for a long moment before asking in a deep voice, "What did you do?"
Old Mao now had a full head of white hair, and wrinkles had appeared on his face, making him look like an old man at death’s door.
Wang Zhan’s eyes filled with heartache. Old Mao was the first person he had met after arriving on the Star War Battlefield.
Seeing Old Mao’s current state, Wang Zhan was naturally deeply concerned.
He grabbed Old Mao’s arm, his hand even starting to tremble.
Old Mao grinned and said, "Alright, don’t worry about me. I don’t have long to live."
His words instantly caused a wave of sorrow to wash over everyone present.
Xiang Tian, in particular, felt it keenly. Only he knew what they had all endured back then. If it weren’t for Old Mao, they might have...
Thinking this, Xiang Tian clenched his fists tightly. The thought of Old Mao having to stay here and confront the Giant Beast spurred him to quickly say, "Alright, all of you go! I’ll stay."
Wang Zhan let out a soft, wry chuckle.
He walked straight to Xiang Tian, patted his shoulder, and said, "That sentiment is enough. You don’t need to worry about the rest. Just take Old Mao and get out of here, understand?"
Xiang Tian still wanted to say something, but at that moment, the Giant Beast’s gaze locked onto them again!
Due to its enormous size, the Giant Beast’s movements were naturally much slower. By the time its foot came crashing down, Wang Zhan and the others had already dodged!
Another close call!
But while the Giant Beast was slow, its stamina and combat power were astonishing. If this dragged on, once everyone’s strength was depleted, they would inevitably become prey in its eyes...
Realizing this, Wang Zhan hesitated no longer. He drew his Deep Fire Blade, glanced coldly at the people around him, his gaze finally resting on Old Mao. He then said in a deep voice, "All of you are hindering my ability to fight. Get lost, now!"
