Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 597 - 595 Caught in a Trap_1

Wang Zhan squinted his eyes and glanced in the direction Luo Tianhong had left before speaking. "It's not that I don't trust her; it's just that I'm worried about potential threats. After all, she gives me an unfathomable feeling, and she has repeatedly appeared in places she shouldn't have. Can all of these really be coincidences?"

Wang Zhan did not believe there could be so many coincidences in this world; he only trusted his own eyes.

Mentioning this, Bai Yu slightly furrowed his brow. "Indeed, it's a bit strange. But Luo Tianhong is so young; she appears to be just a little girl. Even if there is something wrong with her, it should be within our control, right?"

Wang Zhan did not respond. He definitely wouldn't let down his guard easily, as it would be too late if a problem actually did arise.

Meanwhile, a young man quickly walked towards Wang Zhan and then asked, "God of War, should we set off?"

Wang Zhan hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded heavily.

After all, the beasts on the current defense line had already been entirely eliminated, and there was no need to worry about the level 1 demonic beast that had appeared on the defense line where Xiang Tian was located. However, there were still potential threats on the other defense lines. Wang Zhan didn't dare to gamble. If any defense line were to be breached, it would cause lethal damage to everyone, and the fifth war zone would also turn into a battlefield for beasts. This was what worried Wang Zhan the most.

"I've already said that this place will absolutely not become the attack point for the beasts. Why didn't you believe me?"

Suddenly, Luo Tianhong came over. It was unknown where she had emerged from, and her words immediately drew everyone's eyes towards her.

"Then why don't you tell us where the beasts will target in the future? If you're right, I'll believe you from now on. If you're wrong, don't blame me for being rude to you."

Although Wang Zhan said this, he wasn't actually thinking this way. In fact, it was the opposite. If Luo Tianhong's target was accurate, it would prove that she definitely knew something others did not. However, if her prediction was incorrect, it would just prove that Luo Tianhong was merely a child making wild guesses, and she could be eliminated from suspicion.

"I can tell you, of course, but what would I get in return? As you know, I'm rather selfish. Without proper compensation, I wouldn't bother, especially since I'm not part of the fifth war zone, nor do I care about the well-being of the people there."

Luo Tianhong crossed her arms and smirked. This attitude angered everyone present.

At this moment, everyone was trying their best to defend their homeland, yet Luo Tianhong was not only refusing to help but also making snide comments. How could they not be angry? If they weren't aware of Luo Tianhong's close relationship with Wang Zhan, they would have already taken action against her.

"Fine, if you don't want to talk, then you don't have to. I won't force you. We'll just patrol the defences one by one."

Wang Zhan shrugged indifferently, ignoring Luo Tianhong. He turned to Bai Yu and added, "You have some capable warriors at your side, right? Let them stay here, and you can come with me to check out other defences. After all, we can't take chances. None of the defense lines can have any problems."

"Alright."

Bai Yu nodded heavily.

After giving a few orders to his men, Bai Yu returned to Wang Zhan's side. Wang Zhan, on the other hand, had started a conversation with the young man who had been following him. After a brief exchange, he discovered that the young man's name was Duan Feng.

Duan Feng's attitude was extremely firm. He insisted on staying by Wang Zhan's side; regardless of what others thought, he always had faith in Wang Zhan.

Wang Zhan didn't hesitate and nodded at Duan Feng. Then he glanced at Luo Xue, who was at his side. Luo Xue was staring at Wang Zhan with wide eyes, seemingly worried that Wang Zhan would leave without her. Seeing Wang Zhan's gaze put her at ease.

After ensuring everything was settled, Bai Yu and Wang Zhan started to walk towards the distant defense line. Since this area was a key target for the beasts, the distance between each defense line was not far. Yet, to Wang Zhan's surprise, Luo Tianhong had once again disappeared without a trace. Nobody knew when Luo Tianhong had disappeared, let alone where she had gone.

While on the road, Wang Zhan was still concerned about the matter of Luo Tianhong. He muttered to himself, "I knew there was something suspicious about her, but none of you would ever believe me."

"It's not that we don't trust you. It's just that even if Luo Tianhong is an enemy, given her young age, she should be within our control. What's there to worry about? Maybe you're making a mountain out of a molehill?" Bai Yu, on the other hand, steadfastly held on to his belief.

Luo Xue also chimed in, "That little girl looks so harmless. She couldn't be a threat, could she? After all, how could a demonic beast transform into such a cute figure?"

Wang Zhan, however, ignored them. The matter at hand was to solidify all defences as quickly as possible, leaving other matters behind in his mind.

Soon, everyone had reached a new defense line. After an inspection, there were no traces of beasts in the vicinity, nor did it seem like a major attack was imminent, so the group relaxed and headed towards other defense lines.

After a day's inspection, all the defences had been thoroughly checked. Surprisingly to Wang Zhan, not a single one showed any abnormalities, which meant none of these defense lines were the targets of the demonic beasts. This made Wang Zhan instantly puzzled.

The demonic beasts would certainly not miss such a good opportunity. Now was the best time to break through the fifth war zone; after all, the fifth war zone had taken a major hit. But given some time, they could restore it to its original state. If the demonic beasts wanted to seize the opportunity to break through the fifth war zone then, it would become increasingly difficult.

Yet, every defence in sight was without any issues. To Wang Zhan and the others, this wasn't a good thing. It just meant that the potential threat was always there, and they couldn't figure out their enemies' strategy yet.

"I feel like something's off."

In the military tent, Wang Zhan tapped his finger lightly on the table, squinted his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "The defense lines here are too dense, and the demonic beasts are not fools. They won't regard this as an attack point. After all, even if they could break through here, they would have to pay a heavy price. So, I fear they might be targeting the remote defense lines, making it very difficult for us to provide support."

"But I'm not very familiar with the dispositions within the fifth war zone. Where are most of the remote defences located?"

Wang Zhan's eyes fell on Bai Yu. Although Bai Yu often worked alone, his understanding of the terrain in the fifth war zone was very good; he especially had a firm grasp on the arrangement of these defense lines.

However, before Bai Yu could speak, Luo Xue, standing to the side, cut in, "This area is indeed dense with defense lines. The remote defense lines are naturally the one Uncle Qi once spoke of. There's also another defense line not far from Uncle Qi's position. However, that defense line has never encountered demonic beasts, nor have any signs of them ever appeared there, so people naturally don't consider it a key defensive point."

"This..."

Wang Zhan's expression turned grim instantly. He quickly stood up and then said, "We must not take such defense lines lightly. I now suspect that the demonic beasts may want to use that side as a breakthrough! No, we must go check it out right now."

Bai Yu then said, "It's already nighttime. How about we rest for a night and head over to reinforce the defense line there first thing in the morning?"

"Time waits for no one! We can't waste any more time here. If there's any change in the defense line over there, it will take us days and nights to receive the news. We can't afford to gamble!"

Wang Zhan's expression was incredibly grim. He clenched his fist and then said, "Look, even now, we can't be sure if there's an issue with the defense line over there, nor can we determine the main direction of the demonic beasts' attack. So, let the other Gods of War stay here. You and I will head over there. How does that sound?" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"If there are no issues, all the better. If something is wrong, we can join the battle immediately and support each other."

Bai Yu nodded heavily. After all, there was some truth to what Wang Zhan said, so naturally, he needed to go check it out as well.

After quickly packing up that night, they immediately headed for the defense line where Uncle Qi and the others were. Due to their urgency, they traveled light; only Luo Xue and Duan Feng accompanied Wang Zhan and Bai Yu.

「Meanwhile.」

On Uncle Qi's defense line, a large-scale battle was underway.

Everything was exactly as Wang Zhan had predicted: this place was indeed the chosen breakthrough point for the demonic beasts. There were even three level 1 demonic beasts present on the battlefield.

Fortunately, these level 1 demonic beasts hadn't joined the battle itself. But even so, a large number of fierce beasts were still constantly crashing against the defense line. If Xiang Tian hadn't been holding the line here, this defence would have already been breached.

But even with Xiang Tian holding the line, they hadn't achieved significant results, merely delaying the demonic beasts' advance.

No one expected that right after the big battle ended, this place would become the main Battlefield again. This left everyone unprepared...

"Are we going to die here?" a young man asked, gritting his teeth.
