Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 505 - Tracking_1

This was enough to prove it. There had to be another powerful individual on the other side who excelled in mental energy combat, or perhaps they possessed another kind of potent bloodline talent. But regardless of which it was, for the two men currently rushing over, it definitely wasn’t good news. This directly implied that the other side had clearly come prepared and was also extremely proficient in the mental energy tracking techniques of the leading Human warriors! It was even possible that they were familiar faces. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Just at this moment, as Old Master Zao wanted to ask for clarity, or to carefully investigate again himself to eliminate danger and be well-prepared, a new development suddenly occurred down below. An initially unnoticed patch of wilderness abruptly revealed a large exit.

Then, a gigantic creature, almost identical to the giant snake’s main body but lacking a third eye on its forehead, began to emerge.

RUMBLING.

Slowly, it crawled out from the exit, revealing its enormous form!

Moreover, Wang Zhan noticed its eyes. In fact, Wang Zhan believed that it wasn’t just him. Any normal human being, standing in front of this giant snake at this moment, would immediately notice the sheer joy in its eyes! Its joy was so evident, perhaps even exceeding that of a member of the Human Race; it appeared thrilled and overjoyed, its demeanor ecstatic.

This alone was enough to show the two men that something different had happened below, and it was highly advantageous for the giant snake!

However, neither of them was interested in the giant snake’s joyful emotions. What truly piqued their interest and thoughts was that the giant snake had brazenly appeared before them! Even though a glance below revealed what was clearly the lair of some powerful faction or entity, and the giant snake was obviously going there to pledge allegiance and seek favor—making it undoubtedly the other party’s home ground—what did any of that matter to these two audacious men who had come here specifically to obtain that mysterious bloodline talent from the giant snake?

Of course, although these two were bold, considering Wang Zhan’s earlier discovery, the cunning Old Man immediately asked, "Are we still proceeding as per the original plan?"

After all, the situation was unfolding far too quickly, and time was rather tight, making it hard to avoid the possibility that the other side had set a trap, just waiting for them to walk right into it!

Wang Zhan pondered for a moment. His gaze as sharp as lightning, he carefully examined the surroundings but didn’t find many anomalies. Besides the experiences of the monster clone itself, the sudden death event that occurred after Wang Zhan arrived here also made him a little tense.

But very soon, Wang Zhan made up his mind.

"Yes! Today, even if we’re walking into a dangerous place, it’s worth it for that bloodline talent. Moreover... we don’t need to worry about others, just dealing with the giant snake. As long as the giant snake dies, you and I will have accomplished our great deed! We don’t need to fight whatever is hiding beneath."

The Old Man listened and nodded. Indeed, they didn’t really need to worry about other things; they just had to focus on the giant snake beast and send it on its way.

Actually, the Old Man was unaware that the giant snake unexpectedly possessed a vast number of clones, up to thirty-three. Otherwise, he would have definitely known that this mission was not that simple.

Undeniably, the knowing Wang Zhan immediately made arrangements.

"Here’s the plan, Uncle Ancestor: you follow behind it first and watch out for any ambush. I’ll sneak behind you. This way, we’ll form a line, allowing us to support each other and have an escape route!"

Well, and Wang Zhan could also run a bit faster, he thought. After all, he was a mortal of flesh and blood. He couldn’t afford too much of a hit; his soft skin and tender flesh wouldn’t withstand a few punches from the giant snake.

The Old Man nodded in agreement right away.

"Fine... wait, hang on!" The Old Man might be a bit senile, but he was a wily old fox after all. Yet Wang Zhan was trying to pull a fast one on him, which made the Old Man’s gaze towards Wang Zhan turn a bit unpleasant.

"Kid, why should I be the one to follow behind it first, and not you? Did you give me forty percent because of this too?!"

Following behind the giant snake... put nicely, it was for safety’s sake. But put bluntly, it was feared that this kid, Wang Zhan, had truly guessed that the other side had set a trap, waiting for him to walk into his death!

Although he was seventy or eighty—pah, pah, pah, pah... he still wanted to live for a few more years! Why wouldn’t Wang Zhan go first? the Old Man fumed internally.

Wang Zhan immediately put on an earnest and serious face, saying, "Uncle Ancestor, you have put in so much hard work and accomplished a great deal; you are superior to us youngsters in countless ways. How could I compete with you for such a chance to shine! Besides, my strength is insufficient; compared to you, there’s a world of difference. What if I accidentally make a mistake and ruin our plan?"

In short, no matter what Wang Zhan said, his aim was to push this Old Man to the front. That was the point.

Of course, in his heart, he had a hard-to-explain suspicion, Wang Zhan mused. He suspected that the one who had blocked the monster clone’s memories for the past few days might not have been those below at all, but rather the giant snake! With this in mind, the capabilities and significance represented by the giant snake would naturally heighten! Actually, this wasn’t bad news, but rather an excellent thing. It was enough to prove that Wang Zhan’s hunt this time had identified prey with high energy and level, and possibly possessing considerable status within the Beast Clan. The rewards would surely be immense! However, one thing to be wary of was that the more the giant snake revealed, the more complicated Wang Zhan felt it was.

Therefore, the Old Man’s slight suspicion, in Wang Zhan’s view, simply wasn’t an issue.

After all, if he fooled the Old Man, the consequences might not be good, but Wang Zhan had essentially told the truth. There was no reason to be timid; he was naturally bold and justified!

So, although the Old Man still had some doubts, he could only look at Wang Zhan with lingering doubt, then harrumphed.

"Kid, you better not be playing me! Otherwise, when I get back, I’ll have that girl make you kneel on a durian-flavored keyboard every day!"

All Wang Zhan could do was laugh awkwardly. "Yes, yes, yes, Uncle Ancestor, be at ease! I am not fooling you; if I lied to you, may the Five Thunders strike me!"

CLAP. The Old Man immediately clapped his hands.

Then, seeing Wang Zhan’s somewhat dumbfounded yet unresponsive face, he finally spoke with satisfaction, "Very well, it seems you’re not lying to me. In that case, I’ll believe you this time! Stay about three miles behind me, and I’ll call you the moment anything happens."

Having spoken, the Old Man turned and left without even discussing it with Wang Zhan, departing directly.

Leaving Wang Zhan standing there, a cold sweat nearly drenching his back, his nerves taut as he murmured to himself, "Damn, this old geezer is too cunning! He scared me there for a moment; I really thought I’d be struck by the Five Thunders. Lucky I reacted immediately. I didn’t lie to you after all..."

No matter what, this marked the true beginning of their hunting trip.

Hence, Wang Zhan, his gaze profound, projected his line of sight onto the seemingly normal wilderness below his feet, a trace of killing intent flickering in his eyes!

These guys, he thought, they really thought the Earth Federation was their home! The Human Race built cities on the surface to fend off their invasions. They, in turn, set up camp right there, hollowed out the ground, and formed numerous lairs for the Beast Clan, constantly spying on the Human Race. If it weren’t for Wang Zhan’s current lack of power and strength to teach these guys a lesson! He would have shown them right then and there. The Earth Federation wasn’t as wonderful as they imagined; it could be deadly...

However, less than a minute later, Wang Zhan received a transmission from the Old Man, who had departed earlier.

"You can come now; let me lead the way..."

And so, along the way, one snake and two people, one after the other, began to move through the wilderness.

The giant snake, though unaware it was being followed, was by nature cautious and aloof. Thus, it didn’t know that a little old man from the Human Race was tailing it relentlessly. Further behind him, a newly adult member of the Human Race—an old acquaintance who, in the giant snake’s eyes, was merely a ’little sprout’ in terms of age—was also following as tenaciously as a shadow.

Yet, due to the giant snake’s caution and vigilance, it led the two of them in a large circle until the Sun had set.

The amber clouds hung in the distance. Large beasts began to slumber, while smaller beasts started to roam about.

In an instant, this wilderness seemed to have a poetic and picturesque quality. Although, scenery like this no longer belonged to the Human Race!

At this time, the giant snake that had been meandering ahead—sometimes crawling on the ground, sometimes burrowing into the mud, and sometimes hovering in mid-air—eventually returned to its true base.

It was an inconspicuous, yet exceptionally luxurious, small Pool! The Pool’s depths were profound, appearing at a glance like an abyss of Hell, its destination unknown. There were no small snakes around the Pool, not even a single living creature, only the massive Snake Shadow constantly swimming about.

Gradually, it was seen diving deep into the Pool, its figure swaying in the water before vanishing completely.

Therefore, upon seeing this, the Old Man immediately transmitted to Wang Zhan without hesitation, "Kid, come quickly! There’s no time to lose..."
