Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 551 - 549 Camp Captain Ye Chen_1

"Hold on a moment, let me calm down. I'm not ready yet," Old Mao said hastily.

He still didn't know where this thing could take him, so he needed to be mentally prepared!

However, before he could finish speaking, Wang Zhan activated the switch. Instantly, both of them felt much lighter!

Next thing they knew, they were in a different world. Although they didn't know where they were, it was clear that this was not the Land of Death, as there were visible trees around.

Old Mao looked excitedly at the scene before him, his expression akin to a child who had just received a beloved toy. He exclaimed, "I'm out! I'm finally out!"

He thought he would spend his entire life in the Land of Death, but he never expected Wang Zhan's appearance to break the stalemate!

Not only had he escaped the Land of Death, but he had even arrived in a place full of trees!

One should know how difficult it is to find a place with trees on the Star War Battlefield.

Realizing this, Old Mao immediately hugged Wang Zhan and said, "You kid are my lucky star! From now on, your business is my business. Anyone who wants to mess with you will have to get past me first."

Wang Zhan smiled in satisfaction. If he didn't need a free bodyguard, who would willingly stay by Old Mao's side? More importantly, as he was bringing Old Mao away from that place, he even worried whether Old Mao's lice had transferred to him. Seeing Old Mao's slovenly appearance, Wang Zhan gulped. This was, without a doubt, the most unkempt person he had ever met.

After pushing Old Mao away, Wang Zhan said, "We'd better figure out where we are first. If we can't find any signs of human activity, we might have just ended up in another Land of Death."

"No way," Old Mao said firmly. "There are trees everywhere here; this is an extremely good kind of place on the Star War Battlefield. How could there be no people?

"Believe me, as long as we keep searching for a while, we'll definitely…"

Before Old Mao could finish, he spotted a few people approaching in the distance.

Instantly, all of them looked warily at Old Mao and Wang Zhan, clearly considering them enemies.

Old Mao was also ready to fight at any moment.

Wang Zhan knew that on the Star War Battlefield, one absolutely couldn't trust anyone, let alone Old Mao who had been there for some time.

Seeing their wariness, Wang Zhan quickly approached them and said, "Folks, I think there might be a misunderstanding. Rest assured, we came here with no ill intentions; we just want to know where this place is."

The group exchanged glances, their gazes finally focusing on Old Mao.

Clearly, they sensed a threatening aura from him.

Of course, in reality, not even Wang Zhan knew Old Mao's true combat strength. But Old Mao had never spoken about this, and Wang Zhan didn't plan to ask.

Wang Zhan spoke again, "Everyone, how about this: if you don't believe me, come and see for yourselves. This is truly my first time on the Star War Battlefield, and the person with me has been trapped on the Star War Battlefield for a very long time.

"Of course, I stumbled upon him by accident, which is why we look so ragged."

After a moment's hesitation, the men exchanged glances, their gazes finally settling on Wang Zhan.

After a while, the man at the front said, "They indeed don't seem to be members of the Beast Clan in disguise."

Wang Zhan was taken aback, then broke into a grin and asked, "Are there members of the Beast Clan who have infiltrated this place?"

The area they've appeared in must be related to the Alliance; after all, a Teleportation Formation couldn't possibly be placed in the Beast Clan's main Base.

The man in front nodded, walked towards Wang Zhan, extended his hand, and said, "My name is Ye Chen. You can also call me Old Ye. These are all friends from our camp.

"Don't take it personally, young brother. We recently suffered a Beast Tide attack and incurred heavy losses. The main reason was that some members of the Beast Clan disguised themselves as us and infiltrated our ranks, which is why our losses were so severe.

"Everyone is very uneasy about this now, especially those in our camp. They're worried this kind of thing might happen again."

Wang Zhan grinned and said, "Rest assured, Old Mao and I are definitely not your enemies. In fact, we'll help you defend against those creatures."

Upon hearing Wang Zhan's words, Ye Chen's expression visibly brightened, though his gaze shifted to Old Mao.

Obviously, they could all discern Wang Zhan's capabilities, but Old Mao was a different matter; a single glance at him gave an impression of unfathomable depth.

So, as long as someone like him remained in their camp, they wouldn't need to worry about another Beast Tide attack.

The heavy losses they had suffered were entirely because they had no powerful experts on their side!

But now, things looked different. Old Mao joining them could solve this problem.

However, Old Mao frowned at Wang Zhan and said, "You're quite the opportunist, kid. Who told you I'm willing to be their helper?

"Do you know what price people had to pay to get my help when I was out there?"

Wang Zhan, however, paid no mind to his words. He just patted Old Mao's arm and grinned. "I don't care how you did things before, but you promised me you'd stick with me. I'm sure you won't go back on your word, right?"

"You…" Old Mao felt as if he had been swindled by Wang Zhan…

Indeed, this kid might look young and not very skilled, but his deceptive tactics were truly catching people unawares.

Ye Chen quickly walked over to the two of them and hurriedly led them towards the camp.

Soon, they had entered the camp. Since Ye Chen had already explained the situation to the people there, although a few still harbored some hostility towards Wang Zhan and his companion, it wasn't a major issue. With Ye Chen present, everyone had to give him some face. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Moreover, Wang Zhan also gained a basic understanding of the camp: Ye Chen was one of its captains, and everyone had to listen to his arrangements, so his word was law.

After Wang Zhan and Old Mao were shown into a military tent, Old Mao immediately sat down beside Wang Zhan and asked, "Are you an idiot, kid?"

Wang Zhan was momentarily stunned, then asked, "What did I do?"

They had found a place to rest, and it was all thanks to him. Otherwise, they would have been sleeping out in the open tonight. They didn't even know if there were formidable Beastmen in the vicinity; if they encountered any, they wouldn't gain the slightest advantage…

Old Mao spoke again, "This bunch's combat strength is obviously very weak. We're just wasting time here, and they'll become a burden to us. If it were up to me, we'd leave this place immediately. Why should we care if they live or die?

"Haven't you seen how many wounded there are among them?

"I think their injuries are definitely related to the Beast Tide. That means it won't be long before those things come back. In the end, we definitely won't gain anything. If we end up getting hurt because of them, tell me, wouldn't the losses outweigh the gains?"

Wang Zhan frowned slightly. He had thought Old Mao was a man of chivalry and justice, but now it seemed he was still just a selfish person. Of course, Wang Zhan also had his reasons for not leaving this place. He had entered the Star War Battlefield primarily to improve his combat strength. But to do so, he needed to encounter relatively strong opponents. Only by continuously fighting formidable foes could he gradually progress further. So, since there was a fight to be had, how could he just leave like this? That would be ridiculous, wouldn't it?

Seeing Wang Zhan's resolute attitude and his continued silence, Old Mao realized Wang Zhan was clearly a little angry.

Old Mao then sidled up to him, grabbed Wang Zhan's arm, and grinned. "Alright, alright, I was just joking with you, kid! Why did you take it so seriously?

"Since I said I'm willing to accompany you, I'll definitely keep my promise."

Only then did Wang Zhan smile with satisfaction and say, "Alright. Anyway, we don't have any friends on the Star War Battlefield. Since we can stay here, it must be fate. But don't worry, we only need to stay for a short while!"

Old Mao glanced at Wang Zhan in confusion, clearly not understanding what "a short while" meant. Little did Old Mao know, Wang Zhan already had a plan. As soon as he saw the Beast Tide, he would be able to gauge the strength of the creatures within it. If those creatures' combat strength was greater than his, he could naturally stay here and improve his level. However, if their combat strength was relatively weak, there would be no need to continue wasting time here. He would then need to continue searching for even more formidable opponents. Besides, with Old Mao always by his side, he wouldn't even need to worry about encountering trouble. If he encountered an opponent he couldn't handle, Old Mao would definitely intervene immediately, ensuring Wang Zhan himself wouldn't face any serious problems. In that case, things would become much easier.

Suddenly, a burst of footsteps came from outside the military tent. Ye Chen hurried in, holding some food.

"Do you want to eat something?"
