Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 572 - 570: The Eight Great War Gods_1

"What do we do then?"

Everyone asked in unison.

Wang Zhan was their pillar of strength. If he were to leave, they would be utterly hopeless.

Thinking about this, everyone’s faces turned grave. They were currently under siege from all sides. If Wang Zhan were to leave, what would they do?

Luo Tianhong simply shrugged helplessly and said, "Don’t worry, it’s not like there’s no way out. I’ll show you a path. Just follow my directions, and you’ll find a place with people, because there are still defenders of the war zone there."

"War zone defenders?"

Wang Zhan looked curiously at Luo Tianhong and asked, "What are war zone defenders?"

Before Luo Tianhong could reply, Xiang Zhanfei spoke up from the side, "The so-called war zone defenders are the people guarding the camps. For example, the camp we just passed had defenders in it before."

"You mean there are still survivors in the upper areas of the fifth war zone?"

Wang Zhan looked incredulously at Luo Tianhong. How could she not have thought of this? Luo Tianhong actually had such crucial information?

If this was true, it meant the people in the upper areas of the fifth war zone had merely hidden themselves. Perhaps a few camps had suffered some impact, but it wasn’t a major problem.

If they could unify these factions, they could stage a comeback. They might even be able to reclaim the fifth war zone from the beasts’ grasp.

"Little girl, hurry up and tell us where the camp defenders are!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, unable to wait any longer. After all, they were now only thinking about survival. To survive in this desolate battlefield, they had to find companions; otherwise, they were on a path to certain death.

Wang Zhan’s gaze also fell on Luo Tianhong, hoping for a clear answer.

Only then could he be at ease. Otherwise, how could he go treasure hunting with this little girl? Moreover, it was clear Luo Tianhong was no simple person. Who knows what might happen when they enter the ruins?

Luo Tianhong shook her head helplessly before saying, "Alright, alright, stop rushing me. I’ll tell you."

As she spoke, Luo Tianhong took a map from her robes and tossed it to Xiang Zhanfei.

Then, Luo Tianhong said, "There, you have the map now. Just keep following it. What Big Brother and I do is none of your concern. Oh, by the way, Big Brother also wants to take this Xiang Tian along."

The crowd looked at Luo Tianhong, clearly not understanding what she meant.

Xiang Zhanfei walked over to Xiang Tian and said without hesitation, "Staying by Wang Zhan’s side will also be beneficial for you. Just follow him obediently. Don’t worry about our safety; with me here, everyone will be fine."

Time ticked by, and the surroundings gradually quieted.

Nevertheless, a sense of dejection filled everyone’s eyes. After all, if they separated from Wang Zhan, they would lose all confidence.

Xiang Zhanfei patted Xiang Tian on the shoulder and then said, "In that case, we’ll go find the camp defenders now. You stay by Wang Zhan’s side."

"You must listen to all of Wang Zhan’s arrangements. If you disobey, I’ll consider myself to be without a son."

Xiang Tian sighed helplessly. He didn’t understand. He and Wang Zhan were both at the Grandmaster level. Although there was some difference in their combat power, he was a genuine Grandmaster. So why did Xiang Zhanfei look down on him so much, even telling him to obey Wang Zhan unconditionally?

Wang Zhan smiled and said, "Alright, let’s not delay any further. Let’s go now."

The next moment, an ominous wind swept through the sky. Then, massive bolts of lightning rained down, and in an instant, a large electric net materialized around them.

As the electric net appeared, the expressions of the two groups, who had been about to separate, turned grim.

Xiang Zhanfei, in particular, clenched his fists tightly. He moved closer to Wang Zhan and then gestured to the others with his eyes. They all quickly stood behind Wang Zhan, who said calmly, "It’s alright. It seems we’ve encountered a powerful beast, but with so many of us here, what’s there to fear? Besides, while this electric net looks formidable, it can also form a level barrier for us. At least other beasts won’t be able to charge in."

Everyone nodded. Though reluctant, they chose to believe Wang Zhan.

The next second, a massive spear projection shot towards Wang Zhan and the others. Accompanied by lightning, it flew rapidly at them.

Wang Zhan quickly grabbed Luo Tianhong’s shoulder, and together they swiftly dodged the spear’s gust.

Right now, he could only protect Luo Tianhong. Everyone else would have to find a way to protect themselves. Xiang Zhanfei and Xiang Tian were the fastest. The others were slightly slower and were instantly forced back several steps by the huge spear.

Wang Zhan stood a short distance away, staring at the spear projection with furrowed brows. Since when did beasts know how to use weapons? And this spear projection... it carries an aura of righteousness. That’s hardly something you’d expect from a vicious beast. Could it be...

Wang Zhan’s gaze instantly shot beyond the electric net. He saw a figure in white armor slowly approaching them. Narrowing his eyes, Wang Zhan spoke again, "It seems there’s been a misunderstanding. He’s mistaken us for beasts."

What was going on?

Xiang Zhanfei and the others also recovered their senses and saw the person standing outside the electric net. The figure outside also seemed to have noticed them.

The man in white armor held one long spear, and with the other long spear now near Wang Zhan, it proved this person was skilled in using Dual Guns.

Xiang Zhanfei searched his memory, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He exclaimed, "I know who it is! It’s Bai Yu, the Dual Guns General!"

Since Bai Yu was too far away, he couldn’t hear them. Wang Zhan looked at Xiang Zhanfei curiously and asked, "Who is Bai Yu?"

Xiang Zhanfei began to explain, "In the fifth war zone, there are eight War Gods, all of whom have reached the Martial King realm. Bai Yu, the Dual Guns General, is one of them. It’s said that Bai Yu’s combat strength ranks first among the eight War Gods. However, he usually keeps a low profile. Unlike the other War Gods, Bai Yu always hunts alone, especially when targeting extremely powerful beasts."

"The other War Gods, on the other hand, all have teams with them."

As they spoke, the electric net around them gradually faded.

Bai Yu strode towards them, reaching the group in a few steps.

After scrutinizing them with narrowed eyes for a moment, Bai Yu frowned and asked, "Humans?"

Wang Zhan and the others nodded emphatically. Luo Tianhong stayed close to Wang Zhan, her gaze fixed on Bai Yu.

It had to be said, Bai Yu did look rather impressive.

His entire armor was snow-white, and most strikingly, he carried two long spears on his back.

He looked every bit a War God incarnate.

Xiang Zhanfei quickly stepped towards Bai Yu and said, "Yes! We’re from the rear area of the fifth war zone."

WHOOSH!

Bai Yu’s expression changed. He instinctively distanced himself from Xiang Zhanfei and then frowned, saying, "Hasn’t the rear of the fifth war zone already been overrun by beasts? Moreover, as far as I know, there’s a level 1 demonic beast there, the Metal Maniac, isn’t there?"

Wang Zhan and the others had been dealing with the Metal Maniac for so long, but they had never known its name. Now that Bai Yu had mentioned it, Wang Zhan finally understood.

In fact, Bai Yu had come here precisely to deal with the Metal Maniac.

He quickly walked to Xiang Zhanfei’s side, a hint of excitement in his eyes. "Where is the Metal Maniac?"

"Just behind us, but it seems to be injured."

Hearing this, Bai Yu’s expression instantly darkened. He grabbed Xiang Zhanfei’s arm and asked anxiously, "You injured the Metal Maniac?"

A level 1 demonic beast... so terrifying. How could they possibly compare?

Xiang Zhanfei gave a bitter smile, his gaze shifting to Wang Zhan.

Then Bai Yu instantly understood. "A mere Grandmaster managed to repel the Metal Maniac?"

"Are you sure you’re not joking with me?"

Xiang Zhanfei quickly explained, "Every word I’ve said is true! Don’t underestimate Brother Wang Zhan. Although he’s at the Grandmaster level, he’s completely different from us. Not only did he previously seriously injure a level 1 demonic beast, but he also obtained something from the Hundred Beast Mountain..."

As he spoke, his gaze fell upon the Deep Fire Blade on Wang Zhan’s back.

Suddenly, Bai Yu understood. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He stared at Wang Zhan for a long moment before frowning and saying, "So, the divine weapon on your back is the one from beneath the Earth Core?"

Wang Zhan nodded slightly, making no attempt to hide it.

"I never expected someone could actually retrieve something like that from there."

Bai Yu looked at Wang Zhan in shock, then said in a deep voice, "Very good. It seems you’re truly capable. Now, do you dare to return with me and eliminate the Metal Maniac?"

Before Wang Zhan could answer, Luo Tianhong, who was standing to the side, stepped in front of him and said firmly, "Absolutely not! We don’t have time!"
