Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 577 - 575 Battle Zone Defense Camp_1

Everyone nodded and immediately headed toward the foot of the mountain.

On the way, Wang Zhan glanced at Luo Tianhong and asked directly, "What makes you so certain that there’s a treasure here?"

It had to be said, Luo Tianhong did seem somewhat mysterious.

Luo Tianhong chuckled and replied, "I told you before, I’m extremely familiar with matters concerning the Fifth War Zone. I’ve stayed here for a very long time, so nothing escapes my eyes, let alone a mere treasure."

Luo Tianhong once again put on that mature act, which made Wang Zhan almost burst into laughter.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu had already picked up his Dual Guns, while Xiang Tian always followed behind them...

Soon, everyone had entered the mountain peak. Along the way, Wang Zhan and the others did not encounter any beasts, which eased their nerves somewhat. However, with every step they took, they still had to be on their guard. After all, the forest before them was much larger than they had imagined. The mountain cliffs were not only steep, but the surrounding trees were also dense. Upon entering the thickets, they were met with a pitch-black state where they couldn’t even see their own fingers.

Wang Zhan and the others were extremely cautious, precisely because they were worried about encountering unexpected situations.

Luo Tianhong, however, seemed to be treading a familiar path, moving forward without any apparent concern.

After entering the mountain forest, Xiang Tian had been constantly observing Luo Tianhong. Seeing Luo Tianhong walking ahead, he quickened his pace to Wang Zhan’s side, then tugged Wang Zhan’s arm. Wang Zhan stopped, and the two of them moved to the side.

"Don’t you find him a bit peculiar?"

Wang Zhan responded with a smile, "So, you still don’t believe what he says, do you?"

"Don’t worry. Although I also don’t trust Luo Tianhong, he doesn’t seem to bear us any ill will for now. At most, he likely wants to use us to enter the treasure trove and get the things inside. Of course, for us, this is just a matter of mutual benefit."

Actually, Wang Zhan had already made his plans. After all, he wasn’t a child; he naturally had a good sense of what kind of people did what. There was absolutely no such thing as a free lunch in this world.

Xiang Tian shook his head and finally said, "Anyway, as long as you’re aware, I won’t say more. The moment Luo Tianhong tries to harm us, I’ll kill him!"

Wang Zhan patted Xiang Tian’s shoulder and laughed, "Once we get out of here, perhaps we’ll part ways. Why make things so tense with talk of fighting and killing?"

"Besides, he’s still a child. Although you’re not much older, you are a few years his senior. You should act like an older brother and be a bit more indulgent with him."

While speaking, Wang Zhan had already started walking in Luo Tianhong’s direction. Xiang Tian, however, shook his head helplessly and muttered to himself, "If I had a younger sister like that, I’d have strangled her long ago."

Although he said that, Xiang Tian still quickened his pace and swiftly caught up with Wang Zhan.

The journey had been relatively calm so far. They hadn’t encountered any troublesome characters, let alone any major obstacles.

Meanwhile, Bai Yu and Wang Zhan had gradually become more familiar with each other.

"I didn’t expect you’d actually manage to obtain the Deep Fire Blade. That’s truly remarkable."

Bai Yu glanced at the Deep Fire Blade slung across Wang Zhan’s back, his eyes filled with envy.

Countless people had once coveted this divine weapon. After all, everyone knew the Deep Fire Blade was hidden within the Earth Core, yet no one possessed the ability to retrieve it.

They were all experts at the Martial King Realm, all eyeing the Deep Fire Blade, yet no one expected someone as young as Wang Zhan to have already obtained it. This was truly somewhat shocking.

Of course, Bai Yu actually knew that Wang Zhan was definitely not as simple as he appeared. After all, during the fight with the Level 1 Demonic Beast, he had been standing nearby and had seen everything clearly.

Bai Yu then moved closer to Wang Zhan. "By the way, are you interested in joining the Battle Zone Defense Camp?"

"Battle Zone Defense Camp?"

"What’s that? How come I’ve never heard of it?"

Wang Zhan looked at Bai Yu curiously. After all, he knew very little about matters concerning the Fifth War Zone; almost all his information came from Luo Tianhong and Xiang Tian.

"The so-called Battle Zone Defense Camp is simply an alliance spontaneously formed by people in the war zone when unexpected situations arise."

"Of course, just from the name, you can tell we’re here to protect the weaker ones. After all, these people are all the fresh blood of the Fifth War Zone. As long as they are in the Fifth War Zone, the Fifth War Zone itself will always exist."

Bai Yu spoke with impassioned conviction, looking as if he was already prepared to dedicate his life to the Fifth War Zone.

Wang Zhan just shrugged helplessly, then shook his head and said, "I won’t get involved in your affairs."

Bai Yu didn’t insist. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and no one would protect others for nothing. Although they were all from the Fifth War Zone, Wang Zhan was not.

"Then what are your plans next? To leave the Fifth War Zone?" Bai Yu glanced at Wang Zhan beside him and asked with a smile.

"I’m not sure yet. But if there are demonic beasts within the Fifth War Zone, perhaps I can stay here to continue tempering myself. If it’s all just beasts, then there’s no need to waste any more time."

Wang Zhan was speaking the truth, but to others, it indeed sounded a bit like boasting.

After all, the gap between demonic beasts and beasts was enormous. How could anyone possibly want to contend with a demonic beast? Even he himself, upon encountering a formidable demonic beast, wouldn’t even have the strength for a single battle.

Although it was about tempering, the prerequisite for tempering was to preserve one’s own life. After all, the purpose of tempering was to enhance one’s combat power. If one lost their life, what’s the point of combat power then?

Wang Zhan said no more, just as he was about to follow Luo Tianhong. However, Bai Yu, who was behind him, squinted and smiled, "Listening to you, you want to deal with demonic beasts, right?"

Wang Zhan nodded and said nonchalantly, "Yes, the stronger, the better!"

Since his System had already entered a state of saturation, he could only continuously seek out demonic beasts stronger than himself. Only in this way could he constantly raise his level and gradually become stronger.

Thinking this, Wang Zhan suddenly looked at Bai Yu beside him; clearly, Bai Yu knew something.

"I just suddenly thought of a place. It’s said that a demonic beast still exists there. It’s also within the Fifth War Zone, guarding a certain area. If you want to take action, I can accompany you and even scout ahead for you?"

For Wang Zhan, this might just be tempering, but for Bai Yu, Wang Zhan’s actions were helping him solve a troublesome problem.

Experts in the Fifth War Zone were limited, and demonic beasts were already peak-level existences, unmatched by anyone.

Of course, it wasn’t that there were no ways to win. One was for multiple people to join forces, set up a heaven and earth net, and, without fear of sacrifice, perish together with the demonic beast.

This was currently the best method. Bai Yu and the others had used it before, but the casualties had been too severe.

But to protect the people behind them, even if this method was too cruel, they had no choice but to do it.

Only by allowing more people to survive could the Fifth War Zone continue to exist on the Star War Battlefield; otherwise, it would have already become history.

But when Bai Yu saw Wang Zhan, he instantly changed this line of thought. He hadn’t expected there to be such a formidable person on the Fifth War Zone.

Wang Zhan squinted at him and quickly asked, "How does it compare to the Metal Madman?"

"Well..."

For a moment, Bai Yu didn’t quite know how to respond. After a good while, he reorganized his thoughts and said, "The comparison between demonic beasts isn’t just about their level; there are also reasons of innate predispositions or counters. Some demonic beasts, although they have entered the demonic beast realm, lack offensive capabilities themselves but possess formidable defenses, like the Metal Madman we encountered previously."

"Of course, since such demonic beasts exist, there are also other types of demonic beasts, and most of them have their own weaknesses. Of course, while weaknesses are the way to defeat them, exploiting those weaknesses still requires absolutely formidable strength."

"So, I can’t compare it to the Metal Madman right now."

Bai Yu spoke truthfully, without any concealment. After all, he and Wang Zhan would soon become teammates who fought shoulder to shoulder; they would be each other’s rear guard.

Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes slightly.

He indeed needed some demonic beasts to continuously temper himself right now; only in this way could he grow as quickly as possible. Having entered the Star War Battlefield, Wang Zhan had already discovered the gap between himself and the others there. People on the Star War Battlefield increased their levels quickly, and the entry threshold was very low. This created a problem for him: if he didn’t find ways to quickly enhance his combat power, he would find it hard to make any progress after leaving the Fifth War Zone. Therefore, even if it was an unknown demonic beast, he had to go and take a look. Fortune is sought amidst danger; if he could deal with the demonic beast, his own strength would also improve significantly.

But before Wang Zhan could speak, Luo Tianhong, who had been walking in front, suddenly stopped. He then looked at Wang Zhan and said, "Are you insane? You’re still planning to provoke Level 1 Demonic Beasts? Do you really think you’re made of stone? You should know, even if you were made of stone, be careful you don’t get ground to dust!"

Level 1 Demonic Beasts were formidable to such an extent; Luo Tianhong was also worried that Wang Zhan might run into trouble.

He once again walked to Wang Zhan’s side, then shot a glare at Bai Yu before saying in a low voice, "Surely you can’t see that they’re trying to use you as a spearhead? They just want you to be a free fighter, and you’re actually taking it seriously?"

Wang Zhan gave an awkward smile. Actually, how could Luo Tianhong know that he himself also needed to deal with demonic beasts? Only in this way could he gradually become stronger; he needed to continuously accumulate experience through combat. But, of course, these explanations couldn’t be told to others.
