Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 566 - 564: Arrival at the Camp_1

Xiang Tian and Old Mao were deeply moved.

Nobody expected that, at this time, Wang Zhan would still have the heart to say such words.

Xiang Tian even felt somewhat guilty, having troubled Wang Zhan earlier, but he didn't expect that at this crucial moment, Wang Zhan would still stand in front of him.

Wang Zhan walked up to them, a smile touching his lips. "Alright, enough with the sentiments here."

With a small smirk, Wang Zhan spoke again, "Let's get going. Who knows what this Metal Man will do to us?"

Wang Zhan's gaze remained on the Metal Man. Although he was speaking to his companions, he maintained his vigilance towards the Metal Man.

After all, if the Metal Man suddenly launched an attack, given their positioning, escape would be extremely difficult.

Now, all Wang Zhan wished for was the safe departure of his two friends.

Xiang Tian dusted himself off and addressed him forthrightly, "Do I look like someone who would abandon a friend?"

Clearly, in Xiang Tian's subconscious, he considered Wang Zhan a friend.

Wang Zhan approached him, a smile on his face. "Alright, I know what you're capable of, don't I?"

Wang Zhan turned his face away. A second later, taking advantage of the Metal Man's unpreparedness, he swiftly rushed at it!

The Metal Man slowly raised its hand, and a colorful light descended directly!

Wang Zhan instantly raised his Deep Fire Blade, clashing heavily with the light.

Xiang Tian and Old Mao glanced at each other, then charged towards the Metal Man together!

However, their combined attack posed no threat to the Metal Man.

A level 1 demonic beast... so terrifying!

Wang Zhan instantly gasped, then shouted, "Everyone, split up and retreat!"

Without hesitation, Old Mao and Xiang Tian did as instructed. They had already had a taste of the Metal Man's combat capabilities.

Instantly, the three bolted in different directions!

But the Metal Man merely glanced at Wang Zhan, paid no heed to the other two, and then rapidly chased after him!

Wang Zhan had maximized the speed of his Heavenly Thunder Step, a speed that was simply astounding!

However, as a level 1 demonic beast, the Metal Man's speed was also at its peak.

After they had covered some distance, one chasing the other, the Metal Man was suddenly standing right in front of him, hands clasped behind his back, his expression incredibly foul!

"Boy, weren't you running?"

The Metal Man glared coldly at Wang Zhan.

When they last met, the Metal Man was still in its dormant phase.

Indeed, if it hadn't been for Wang Zhan, it wouldn't be here. Apparently, the Metal Man also hailed from Hundred Beast Mountain.

Wang Zhan calmly looked at the Metal Man, a slight chill in his eyes, and walked over without fear.

After all, given the current circumstances, what difference would it make if Wang Zhan attempted to flee?

In terms of speed, Wang Zhan was no match for the Metal Man. Moreover, his own combat power was far inferior.

Having considered this, Wang Zhan decided to accept his fate.

"Is that weapon in your hand the treasure from the Earth Core?"

The level 1 demonic beast greedily eyed Wang Zhan's Deep Fire Blade.

It had stayed on Hundred Beast Mountain for so long precisely to get its hands on the Deep Fire Blade as quickly as possible.

After all, the Metal Man could absorb weapons. Once it absorbed them, its combat power would enhance rapidly.

While contemplating this, it approached Wang Zhan to seize the Deep Fire Blade, but Wang Zhan quickly retreated two steps.

A massive blade light fell suddenly, striking right in front of the Metal Man!

BANG!

The Metal Man's expression turned extremely grim.

But Wang Zhan had already retreated, once again maintaining a certain distance from the Metal Man.

"Where did the King-level beasts go?" Wang Zhan asked the level 1 demonic beast.

He had a hunch that the disappearance of the King-level beasts was somehow connected to the creature before him.

The Metal Man coldly replied, "I devoured all of them."

It turned out that while the Metal Man was still a sphere, the King-level beasts had already swept across the entire battlefield.

But the instant this level 1 demonic beast emerged, it had already devoured all those King-level beasts.

Recalling this, a wave of confidence washed over the demonic beast's face.

It quietly watched Wang Zhan for a while before speaking again, "Now, you and everything in your hands and on your body will become my food!"

Immediately after, the Metal Man dashed rapidly towards Wang Zhan, unwilling to give him any chance to resist.

BANG!

Instantaneously, a loud noise erupted around Wang Zhan, and a massive beam of light shot down!

In the blink of an eye, it hit the Metal Man. The Metal Man retreated several steps and tumbled back.

Wang Zhan was suddenly startled. What... What was going on?

It was only in the next moment that he noticed luminescent streaks appearing around him.

Above those streaks, dragons were endlessly circling.

It seemed the Heavenly Dragon Armor had activated its skill again.

But Wang Zhan still hadn't figured out what conditions triggered these abilities in the Heavenly Dragon Armor!

After taking several more glances at the Metal Man not far away, he spoke in a deep voice, "I told you not to mess with me. Otherwise, you won't meet a good end."

"Young man, it seems that thing you have is truly a treasure!"

The Metal Man's eyes turned red again as he swiftly rushed towards Wang Zhan.

This time, Wang Zhan unleashed his potential to the fullest. After a huge blade of light descended, the Metal Man was thrown back!

Wang Zhan swiftly rose to his feet, rushing off to one side.

With the Metal Man knocked down, Wang Zhan, unwilling to waste more time, moved several meters away in a flash.

He looked back at the Metal Man.

Where was the Metal Man's earlier vigor?

Dark scars were appearing all over its body. Wang Zhan did not dare to linger.

He knew the damage must have been caused by the Heavenly Dragon Armor, but the Metal Man was, after all, a level 1 demonic beast. His own attacks wouldn't pose much of a threat to it.

Wang Zhan then headed in the direction Xiang Zhanfei and the others had taken.

Behind him, the Metal Man roared continuously, its voice terrifying.

Soon, Wang Zhan reached the others. Xiang Zhanfei looked at him in surprise and asked, "You're back?"

Old Mao and Xiang Tian also looked at Wang Zhan.

After all, no one expected Wang Zhan to make it here unscathed.

Recalling the recent scene, Xiang Tian felt a wave of lingering fear.

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "It was a close shave indeed. Let's leave first, and deal with other matters later."

"Okay."

The others nodded in agreement.

Then, everyone started rushing off into the distance.

Not far ahead, they saw a camp. Their eyes lit up instantly.

They quickly rushed towards the camp.

However, Wang Zhan held back Old Mao and asked in a low voice, "Do you notice anything odd about the camp?"

Xiang Tian and Xiang Zhanfei stopped in their tracks, looking back at Wang Zhan.

Old Mao was clutching his arm. His condition was terrible; during the fight with the Metal Man, his body had been pushed to its limit.

How much longer could he hold on?

All he wanted now was to rest.

He glanced at the nearby camp and asked, "What's wrong with it?"

"Haven't you noticed? This place is too quiet."

The camp was as quiet as the mountain forest they had just entered; not a sound could be heard.

Previously, Wang Zhan and Old Mao had visited a nearby camp, and there were many guard posts inside it for security.

All for the sake of ensuring the camp's safety.

But now?

It was completely empty.

Just as Xiang Zhanfei wanted to stop everyone, a cry of alarm suddenly came from afar.

Then, everyone was seen rushing into the camp.

Wang Zhan and the others didn't dare delay and quickly followed them into the camp. Only then did they notice the situation inside.

As far as the eye could see, the ground was covered in corpses.

Moreover, fresh blood was everywhere. It looked horrifying.

Walking over to one of the bodies, Wang Zhan examined the wounds and frowned slightly. He then said, "That Metal Man must have been here."

"A level 1 demonic beast?" Xiang Zhanfei quickly said, "Shouldn't we leave immediately?"

Thinking about the terrifying methods of a level 1 demonic beast, everyone's faces turned pale.

But Wang Zhan waved his hand and said, "It's fine. These people look like they've been dead for some time. So, the Metal Man must have come here long before we did."

"Moreover, I've taken a careful look around. It seems some other beasts rampaged here as well."

"I guess the people in the camp couldn't hold out."

Xiang Zhanfei and the others nodded gravely.

"Should we stay here any longer?"

Since it was confirmed that a level 1 demonic beast had been here, staying would only increase their danger.

However, Wang Zhan said, "It's alright, we don't have to leave for now."

The principle of 'the darkest spot is under the lamp' applied here.

Since the Metal Man had already been here once, it likely wouldn't return. Besides, Wang Zhan's Heavenly Dragon Armor had already injured it.

Right now, the Metal Man was probably still recovering from its injuries.

Wang Zhan walked up to the group and instructed, "Everyone, keep your movements light and quiet. Let's not attract any trouble!"
