Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 560 - 558: The Treasure Under the Earth Core_1

The next second, all the Overlord Bee's stingers cascaded down towards Wang Zhan! Each stinger carried waves of intense energy! Soon, the stingers collided with Wang Zhan's body. By the time Old Mao tried to go over and help, it was already too late.

Immediately after, Xiang Tian made a sudden move to rush to Wang Zhan's side but was directly blocked by Old Mao.

"What do you think you're doing?"

Xiang Tian looked at Old Mao and stated directly, "I want to help! I can't just stand by and watch him die here."

With so many King-level beasts, they could even contend with a royal-level beast. Wang Zhan is merely a Martial Arts Grandmaster; how could he possibly withstand them? So, the pressing matter was to join forces with Wang Zhan; perhaps then they could resist.

But Old Mao pointed towards Wang Zhan and said, "Don't you see that he's not even scratched?"

At this, Xiang Tian was astonished to find that there was indeed a light screen around Wang Zhan. The combat power of royal-level beasts actually can't pierce that light screen? He suddenly remembered; when they were dealing with the Blue Water Azure Sky Dragon, hadn't these things appeared then as well?

But before Xiang Tian could think further, shadows of beasts appeared all around, converging on him in an instant! Old Mao had also begun to engage the King-level beasts. Xiang Tian clenched his teeth; since they were already here, he had to fight, even if it meant biting the bullet! He absolutely couldn't let Wang Zhan look down on him. With this thought, Xiang Tian's speed increased considerably. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Wang Zhan, however, stood quietly within the halo of light. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly, and suddenly, a massive streak of light appeared! The next second, he laughed heartily in mid-air.

Sounds of a dragon's roar echoed throughout the mountain forest!

This sound is...

One kind of beast began to charge around frantically, as if it had gone mad!

Wang Zhan stood within the light screen, two knives materializing in his hands. The next second, an immense blade light descended! Then, this blade light could be seen whipping up ripples of energy as it fiercely struck the King-level beasts!

Wang Zhan smirked, then rose with a laugh and once again dashed towards the Overlord Bee!

At this moment, the dragon's roar had disrupted the rhythm of all the beasts, the Overlord Bee included! In an instant, Wang Zhan was before it. Before the Overlord Bee could react, the knives in Wang Zhan's hands fell.

And the Overlord Bee vanished without a trace!

The surrounding beasts had also disappeared, having fled to who knows where.

Old Mao and Xiang Tian walked over to Wang Zhan.

Xiang Tian looked at Wang Zhan in shock. Completely unharmed? This… How on earth did he manage that? However, now was not the time to ask such questions. Perhaps there truly is a vast difference between individuals. And the reason Wang Zhan can stand here is because he has also experienced constant trials between life and death, right? Thinking this, Xiang Tian dismissed the doubts in his eyes, but his admiration for Wang Zhan grew even stronger.

Old Mao held up something in his hands and presented it to Wang Zhan.

This is...

Wang Zhan squinted, chuckled, and said, "A Gold Swallowing Beast?"

The Gold Swallowing Beast was not considered a formidable type of beast. Its own rank was very low, but it was extremely perceptive and could find any treasure. Of course, Wang Zhan had encountered these little things back on Earth as well. Wherever there was treasure, Gold Swallowing Beasts would invariably appear.

Old Mao, gripping the newly matured Gold Swallowing Beast, grinned and said, "Now we can find out the location of the treasure from its mouth."

Wang Zhan grinned. "Where did you manage to catch this fellow?"

Old Mao shrugged. Apparently, he had been combating the surrounding beasts all along. But because the commotion here was so great, it had attracted all the beasts in the Hundred Beast Mountain, including many that were rather unpresentable.

Wang Zhan smiled faintly, walked over to the Gold Swallowing Beast, grabbed it by the neck, and was about to speak when a sound from the System interrupted him. The crisp sound in his mind snapped Wang Zhan to attention. He quickly opened his control panel and glanced at his attributes.

Wang Zhan

Origin Point: 2 (2/2,000+++)

Essence Energy: 14,000++

Limit: 0

Strength: 17,000

Physique: 17,000

Charm: 1,200

Wisdom: 3,000

Mental Power: 44,999++

It turned out that although the Overlord Bees were individually King-level beasts, their sheer numbers meant their collective strength was equivalent to that of a royal-level beast. While Wang Zhan didn't gain any attribute points from slaying King-level beasts, slaying a royal-level beast was a different matter. His own combat power was rapidly increasing. Thinking of this, Wang Zhan couldn't help but smile; he had indeed gained quite a bit this time.

Nearby, Xiang Tian looked at Wang Zhan in surprise and said, "You... you've actually advanced to an early-stage Grandmaster?"

This was within Wang Zhan's expectations. After all, his combat power had greatly improved, so it was natural for his level to increase somewhat. However, just being an early-stage Grandmaster still wasn't enough. After all, since entering the Star War Battlefield, he had encountered nothing but extremely powerful big guys, and even the lowest among them were King-level beasts. King-level beasts seemed like mere cannon fodder. There were also some royal-level beasts among them.

"How can your leveling speed be so fast?" Old Mao, too, stared at Wang Zhan in shock.

When they first met, Wang Zhan was a late-stage Martial Arts Grandmaster, but the gap between Martial Arts Grandmaster and Grandmaster was like a chasm, incredibly difficult to cross. Yet Wang Zhan had managed to easily reach the Grandmaster stage? This was definitely not something an ordinary person could achieve…

Thinking of this, Old Mao immediately added, "You little rascal, tell me, how did you do it? I need to break through the Martial King level barrier soon too."

Old Mao had been stuck at the Martial King level for a long time; he himself couldn't even remember how long.

Wang Zhan just grinned and said, "Alright, cut the nonsense. This depends on one's own talent and hard work! If you guys don't work hard and lack talent, then what can be done?"

"You…" Old Mao was speechless, but Xiang Tian's expression darkened. He walked right up to Wang Zhan and said, "Don't think you're so great just because you're a Grandmaster. I reached the Grandmaster level years ago."

"Oh," Wang Zhan replied indifferently, then added, "So, after reaching the Grandmaster stage, you haven't improved your level at all this whole time?"

This… Xiang Tian stood awkwardly to one side, saying nothing more. It was indeed true…

Actually, Wang Zhan knew this. Reaching the Grandmaster stage wasn't an incredibly difficult feat. Even on Earth, Wang Zhan had already reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster stage. The only reason he hadn't broken through to Grandmaster was entirely due to the scarcity of royal-level beasts. If he could encounter more royal-level beasts, he certainly could have reached the Grandmaster stage much earlier.

He wasted no more time, his gaze falling upon the Gold Swallowing Beast. He asked directly, "Little fellow, tell me, where exactly is the treasure here hidden?"

The Gold Swallowing Beast turned its head away. "Kill me, I still won't tell!"

"Oh, really?" A big saber materialized in Wang Zhan's hand, and he placed it on the Gold Swallowing Beast's neck. He then said, "Since you're so principled, I'll just kill you now."

As he spoke, Wang Zhan raised the saber, truly looking as if he was about to finish off the Gold Swallowing Beast.

This time, the Gold Swallowing Beast was terrified. It quickly looked at Wang Zhan and said, "I… I was wrong. The treasure is in the Earth Core!"

This… Wang Zhan paused. "Where is the Earth Core?"

"I think it's lying!" Old Mao interjected. "Do you have any idea how high the temperature is down in the Earth Core? Even I wouldn't last long if I went in!"

It seemed this little fellow wasn't very honest. Wang Zhan's gaze shifted. However, if it wasn't going to be honest, then that made things simple. He raised the saber again. Chopping off one of its claws should make it much more compliant, right?

Xiang Tian grinned. Bullying beasts was his favorite pastime. And bullying beasts on Hundred Beast Mountain was even more interesting.

"There's a saber in the Earth Core…" Seeing Wang Zhan prepare to strike, the Gold Swallowing Beast quickly spoke again. "The Beast King ordered us to guard this place. That's why we didn't attack the fifth war zone—it was to protect this saber. However, none of us can enter the Earth Core because the temperature inside is indeed too high. I'm telling the absolute truth!"

The Gold Swallowing Beast was so scared it nearly wet itself. This was the first time it had encountered someone as terrifying as Wang Zhan. Dying wasn't the main issue; the most important thing was… Wang Zhan actually wanted to torture it.

Wang Zhan walked over to the Gold Swallowing Beast and stared at it for a good while. Seeing the terror in the Gold Swallowing Beast's eyes, he naturally believed its words. How could a little fellow terrified to its core possibly lie?

Thinking this, Wang Zhan asked again, "Then tell me, how do we get into the Earth Core?"

"That's simple." The Gold Swallowing Beast pointed to a nearby mountain peak. "We dug a passage here a long time ago. Follow it all the way to the summit, and you'll be able to see the entrance to the Earth Core! But I must warn you, be careful not to be burned to death!"

Actually, the Gold Swallowing Beast was deliberately warning Wang Zhan, hoping he would let it go. Being controlled like this was too agonizing…

Wang Zhan smiled with satisfaction, patted its shoulder, and then said, "Alright, little fellow, you'll come with us. If there really is a saber inside, I'll let you go. But if there isn't, you know the consequences, right?"

The Gold Swallowing Beast's face was filled with despair.
