Wang Zhan nodded. He had to admit Hu Lao made so valid points.
He had been on the Star War Battlefield for quite a while and had a clear understanding of the kind of people there, though it couldn't be generalized.
Back in Tianxiong City and the fifth war zone, Wang Zhan had indeed felt a sense of warmth.
He had to say, the people from these two places were genuinely warm-hearted. Wang Zhan had co to see them as family and friends, which was why he had helped them solve so many issues. After all, this not only involved a great consumption of his energy but also forced him to face life-or-death battles ti and again.
"Young man, don't get distracted in here. An extrely powerful demonic beast might appear at any ti in this forest. If it targets you, you must counter-attack imdiately. Otherwise, you'll end up as a cold corpse, and nobody will sympathize with you."
Wang Zhan nodded gravely, then quickly dismissed his previous thoughts.
He inspected his surroundings carefully, but the figure that had been beside him was gone.
"Hu Lao, if I follow your logic, then how could any demonic beasts here dare to attack us? After all, they know your ans, and you've killed so many demonic beasts. You must carry an aura they fear. So, as long as I'm with you, I should be absolutely safe. Encountering even a level 9 beast, let alone an ordinary demonic beast, would be difficult."
Wang Zhan voiced his thoughts. He could feel that when they had first entered this forest, many pairs of eyes had been on him. But as he ventured deeper, where were all those demonic beasts that had been loitering nearby?
Even if no one else ntioned it, Wang Zhan could figure out what was happening. After all, with Hu Lao by his side, those demonic beasts surely wouldn't dare to approach him casually.
After looking at him, Hu Lao asked, "So, you think I'm in your way?"
Wang Zhan quickly waved his hands and said, "How could that be possible? Without you by my side, I wouldn't be able to get away easily."
Although his strength had increased to a certain degree, there was still a massive gap compared to those powerful demonic beasts. Therefore, he would still need Hu Lao's help when encountering powerful demonic beasts; otherwise, how could he expect to get away unscathed?
Although Wang Zhan constantly aid to improve his strength, he couldn't risk his life for it.
Hu Lao shook his head, walked to Wang Zhan's side, and patted his shoulder. Squinting at Wang Zhan for a good while, he finally chuckled and said, "You think I don't know what you're thinking, young man? You're probably already tired of this Old Man, aren't you?"
"I can tell you're an extrely ambitious person. How could you quietly stay here and let others protect you?"
"Since that's the case, I won't waste any more of your ti. I'll go on ahead to take a look. You stay here. I'm quite curious to see just how many demonic beast assaults you can withstand."
Wang Zhan gave a wry smile and shook his head.
If he encountered truly powerful demonic beasts, he might not be able to withstand even one. However, there probably weren't any weak demonic beasts in this mountain forest; he could sense that the demonic beasts in this mountain forest were all extrely formidable. After all, even a Cat Demon Beast wasn't worth Hu Lao's attention.
That proved Hu Lao had encountered even stronger demonic beasts here before, possibly in large numbers.
"Alright, I've said what needs to be said. Since that's the case, I'll really be leaving first. If you encounter any trouble, crush this jade token. I'll appear before you imdiately to help you out. Consider it a bit of help for you, young man."
While speaking, Hu Lao took out a jade token from his pocket and handed it to Wang Zhan.
"Thank you, sir."
Wang Zhan smiled faintly, then cupped his fist and nodded.
Hu Lao didn't hesitate at all. With a light tap of his toes on the ground, his entire body flew up. In the blink of an eye, his figure was nowhere to be seen.
Wang Zhan stood rooted to the spot, watching in shock as Hu Lao departed. Then, he drew a sharp breath, shook his head, and muttered, "It seems Hu Lao's abilities truly are beyond my imagination."
In the darkness, the few individuals who had been observing Wang Zhan and Hu Lao began to discuss fervently.
"Is that fellow Hu Xianfeng?"
"I didn't expect Hu Xianfeng's strength to have reached such a level. It's truly astonishing."
"He was already a pinnacle existence many years ago."
"His strength must have progressed to a certain extent again over these years. That's why we're left so far behind him."
Everyone nodded in agreent.
However, their gazes soon converged on Wang Zhan again, their faces full of doubt.
One of them directly asked, "I've never heard of him having any other companions."
"What's this kid's background, to be able to accompany Hu Lao?"
Everyone else also shook their heads; clearly, none of them knew the situation.
"Let's not worry about that for now. We'll just follow this kid and see if we can pick up any scraps. Judging by his intentions, it seems he wants to improve his cultivation and ca here to fight those demonic beasts. If that's really the case, it's a good thing for us."
Everyone knew that with Hu Lao present, he would be able to resolve any situation that arose, so they had nothing to worry about.
Moreover, now that Wang Zhan was looking to fight extrely powerful demonic beasts, it gave them even more opportunities.
They were different from Wang Zhan. He simply wanted to enhance his cultivation. They, however, wanted to obtain the treasures from the demonic beasts' bodies. Only by doing so could they continuously improve their equipnt. After all, enhancing one's cultivation was hardly an easy task.
They'd rather first find ways to continuously upgrade their equipnt. Only then could they maintain their undefeated position and continue their profession as Bounty Hunters.
「anwhile.」
As they observed Wang Zhan, he had actually long since discovered their presence but had simply remained silent. After all, when he and Hu Lao were together earlier, this group had been furtively following them but had never made a move. Moreover, Wang Zhan could sense that this group didn't seem to harbor much malice, so he wasn't in a hurry to deal with them.
But if this group truly harbored ill intentions, Wang Zhan naturally wouldn't hold back. While dealing with demonic beasts, he was absolutely confident he could take care of these fellows as well. After all, compared to Hu Lao, they were far too inferior, so dealing with them wouldn't be difficult.
In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan had walked deeper into the forest.
The group following him, however, continuously concealed their auras, trying their best to maintain distance from Wang Zhan. But even so, Wang Zhan could still detect their presence.
Moreover, after entering the forest, Wang Zhan didn't pay much attention to those people. This was because after he entered, a very strange phenonon occurred: there were many more tracks in the surrounding woods.
Evidently, so demonic beasts had already begun to stir restlessly.
After all, once Hu Lao left Wang Zhan's side, those demonic beasts would surely sense it. How could they possibly let Wang Zhan go easily?
Wang Zhan paid no mind to this and continued walking deeper into the forest.
He was waiting for those demonic beasts to attack together.
Only in this way could he quickly improve his cultivation and then temper his System.
Indeed, everything proceeded in the direction he had anticipated.
Just as Wang Zhan had taken a few steps forward, several figures suddenly shot out from the surrounding forest, arriving in front of him in an instant.
Wang Zhan's expression changed. He quickly revealed the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and then fiercely smashed it towards the figure before him.
A Fire Dragon imdiately surged upwards, instantly engulfing the entire battlefield.
And that figure was directly sent flying by the Fire Dragon.
Wang Zhan stood arrogantly, looking at the few demonic beasts surrounding him. A slight smile touched the corners of his lips, but his face showed a trace of disdain.
He had originally thought he would encounter so powerful demonic beasts here. He never imagined that after waiting for so long, the demonic beasts he encountered were rely level 5 demonic beasts.
This was, admittedly, very disappointing.
The demonic beasts were glaring ferociously at Wang Zhan, clearly treating him as prey. Little did they know, they were already repeatedly testing the brink of death.
Wang Zhan directly raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand and then swung it fiercely towards the few demonic beasts.
Instantly, several Fire Dragons soared into the air and, in a flash, descended before each of the demonic beasts.
Wang Zhan quickly rose, standing in mid-air. Looking at the beasts before him, a scornful smile appeared on his lips as he shouted out into the entire space.
