Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 559 - 557 Overlord Bee_1

Wang Zhan turned his attention to Xiang Tian and immediately chuckled. "Since this young man is so ambitious, let him join us on our journey. Rest assured, we definitely won't let your precious son die in there."

In fact, Wang Zhan was also considering his own position. Having Xiang Tian around would give him an additional hostage. Xiang Zhanfei would surely not watch his son step into danger.

Xiang Tian looked directly at Wang Zhan and retorted, "Fine. Do you think I'd be afraid of you?"

"Shut up!" Xiang Zhanfei glanced coldly at Xiang Tian.

Is this supposed to be a good thing? There are many King-level beasts inside. A slight misstep could mean being trapped in Hundred Beast Mountain forever. If they got into trouble, even Xiang Zhanfei would have a hard time entering to rescue them.

With this in mind, Xiang Zhanfei began to drag Xiang Tian away, intent on keeping him outside.

But Xiang Tian was extremely obstinate. Xiang Zhanfei, however, remained adamant. His expression made it clear: no matter what Xiang Tian said, he wouldn't be allowed into Hundred Beast Mountain.

Nearby, Wang Zhan sat down, sipped his tea, and said lightly, "It seems you're hiding something from me."

"What do you mean?" Xiang Zhanfei glanced hastily at Lin Yan, his gaze clearly evasive.

Wang Zhan looked at him, his own expression becoming complex. "Xiang Tian is a Grandmaster, and I am merely a martial arts Grandmaster. Comparatively, I'm not even Xiang Tian's match. You don't trust him to enter Hundred Beast Mountain, yet you're letting me and Old Mao go in. Doesn't that mean you're hiding something from me?"

Actually, everyone knew that Hundred Beast Mountain was extremely dangerous. But Wang Zhan was no fool. Things had come to this. If Xiang Tian wasn't prepared to go with them, he definitely wouldn't make a move either.

"Little brother, I truly have nothing to hide," Xiang Zhanfei said. "You understand, I only have one child. I'm just worried he might encounter trouble inside, and then..." As he spoke, Xiang Zhanfei glanced at Xiang Tian. He didn't finish his sentence, but any intelligent person would know what he meant.

Wang Zhan turned his face away. Doesn't everyone have loved ones? He remained firm, waiting to see what Xiang Zhanfei would do.

Xiang Tian wrenched himself from Xiang Zhanfei's grip and walked straight over to Wang Zhan. "Do you think I don't dare?" he said gravely. "Fine, I'll go in there with you, right now!"

"Heh..." Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction. Indeed, children are easy to persuade.

Although Xiang Zhanfei still wanted to speak, Xiang Tian had already walked out.

Wang Zhan shrugged at Xiang Zhanfei, a small smile playing on his lips. "See? I didn't say anything to your son. This was all his own idea."

With that, Wang Zhan picked up the map, and he and Old Mao headed out.

Xiang Zhanfei quickly walked over to Wang Zhan, grabbed his arm, and pleaded, "Little brother, I have a favor to ask. Can you please take good care of my son? He's my only child, I can't just watch as he..."

Wang Zhan shrugged and smiled. "Alright."

Since all preparations were complete, Wang Zhan and the others took the map and headed straight for Hundred Beast Mountain.

As they were leaving, Xiang Zhanfei offered to send some of his men with Wang Zhan, but Wang Zhan refused. He had already seen those men; their combat strength was only at the Grandmaster level, and they lacked any real combat experience. Even if they entered Hundred Beast Mountain, they would just be a group of useless losers and might even hinder Lin Yan.

Wang Zhan and the others moved quickly, soon arriving at the foot of Hundred Beast Mountain.

Gazing at the mountain range before him, Wang Zhan felt an immense pressure. "This place is so close to your camp. Aren't you worried these ferocious beasts might rush out?" The distance was indeed dangerously close. If those beasts were to break out, they would be difficult to control.

Now I understand just how dangerous their location is.

Xiang Tian laughed and said casually, "No worries. Being prepared for danger in times of peace motivates everyone to train harder. It's a good thing for us."

Wang Zhan shook his head and smiled, impressed by Xiang Tian's positive attitude. If I had lived in such a place, I would have fled long ago. It was as if they were gambling with their lives.

They exchanged no more words. Since they were already at the foot of the mountain, they naturally wouldn't waste any more time.

Soon, they began their ascent up the mountain.

But as Wang Zhan took in the scene before him, he was shocked. The mountain forest ahead is incredibly dense. Once we enter Hundred Beast Mountain, we won't know where to go. The silence within the mountain forest is ominous. It suggests that extremely formidable beasts occupy this area, scaring away all other creatures. That must be why it's so quiet.

Wang Zhan walked over to Old Mao, patted his shoulder, and said directly, "If there's any danger later, remember to look after this kid."

Old Mao laughed. "Didn't you dislike him?"

"But this kid isn't bad. We can't just stand by and watch him die in front of us."

After giving his instructions, Wang Zhan continued deeper into Hundred Beast Mountain.

According to the map, they only needed to walk a little further to reach the Central Zone. However, the Central Zone designation only meant there were many beasts there; it didn't indicate the location of any treasure. In fact, Xiang Zhanfei had only heard rumors; whether any treasure actually existed within Hundred Beast Mountain was still unknown.

Since we're already here, let's see it through. With that thought, Wang Zhan and the others quickened their pace.

Soon, Wang Zhan stepped into the Central Zone. But the surroundings remained deathly silent.

Suddenly, a shadow shot out from the nearby trees at extreme speed!

Wang Zhan quickly grabbed Xiang Tian by the shoulder and yanked him aside.

The shadow zipped right past where Xiang Tian had been standing moments before! If Wang Zhan hadn't reacted so quickly, Xiang Tian would have already become food for a beast.

"How did you react so quickly?" Xiang Tian stared at Wang Zhan, his face filled with disbelief. He's definitely not as simple as he looks.

Wang Zhan didn't speak, quietly observing their surroundings.

Old Mao came to his side, his brow furrowed. "A King-level beast, the Overlord Bee."

"How could that be?" Although Xiang Tian hadn't heard of the Overlord Bee, he could tell from the name that it was some kind of bee. "But the creature that just attacked was enormous; how could it possibly be a bee?" he thought. Aloud, he quickly said, "No way. That thing was huge and very aggressive. I don't think it was an Overlord Bee."

But Old Mao spoke with certainty, "What do you know? You're just a greenhorn! These Overlord Bees can attack in concert. Do you understand what that means?"

"You mean what just appeared was a swarm of King-level Overlord Bees, and that's why they suddenly charged at us?" Wang Zhan asked. "And that's why it seemed so large."

Wang Zhan then added, "But with so many King-level beasts acting as one, even for you, Old Mao, wouldn't that be..."

Old Mao remained silent. This is indeed very troublesome.

WHOOSH!

As they spoke, the Overlord Bees flew at them again! This time, they struck Wang Zhan directly.

In that instant, Xiang Tian finally got a clear look at them. They were indeed individual bees!

Wang Zhan stumbled back a few steps, but to Xiang Tian's astonishment, he was completely unharmed. A powerful energy ripple emanated from around Wang Zhan. Does that mean Wang Zhan has armor capable of defending against King-level beast attacks?

Wang Zhan glanced at Old Mao and shouted harshly, "Attack!"

This swarm of Overlord Bees is too ferocious. We absolutely cannot afford to waste any more time here! With that thought, Wang Zhan's speed increased dramatically. In an instant, he reached the Overlord Bees. A large blade materialized in his hand, and he slashed down fiercely at the swarm!

I know very well that if we can't eliminate these Overlord Bees, and other beasts join the fray, the consequences will be dire! More importantly, these Overlord Bees are constantly poised for a sneak attack, making them a real nuisance. Thinking this, Wang Zhan intensified his assault!

BANG!

A massive ripple of energy emanated from Wang Zhan's attack. He was sent flying backward. Such combat power...

He stared at the Overlord Bees in shock. I can't believe these damned creatures have actually reached the royal-level beast stage! After all, with so many of them, their collective combat power has clearly increased significantly.

Wang Zhan got up again, coldly stared at the Overlord Bees, then roared, "Damn you!"

Meanwhile, the swarm of Overlord Bees gradually coalesced into a humanoid form. What was shocking was that although the Overlord Bee now had a humanoid form, every move she made was composed of the synchronized actions of thousands upon thousands of individual bees!

Old Mao's pupils contracted as he scanned their surroundings, his expression growing grimmer. "Not good!" he exclaimed. "Many other beasts have already gathered nearby! If we delay any longer, we'll be swamped by them!"

At this thought, Old Mao's face paled further. He leaped up and dashed towards Wang Zhan!

The priority now is to escape this place immediately! Everything else can be dealt with later.

But escaping wouldn't be so easy for Wang Zhan.

The next second, sharp spikes slowly emerged from the crown of the Overlord Bee's humanoid head. Simultaneously, they all aimed directly at Wang Zhan!
