Getting Stronger By Fighting-Chapter 570 - 568: Mysterious Girl_1

Xiang Tian knew that Wang Zhan had been watching them all along. Even though he was extremely unsatisfied with Wang Zhan’s actions, they were still teammates right now. Therefore, he had to tolerate what Wang Zhan was doing, as the consequences would be unthinkable if they were to part ways at this point.

Everyone had already decided not to go back for reinforcements, so the most urgent task was to find people from other war zones. Only in this way could they survive on the Star War Battlefield, since there were beasts everywhere nearby. Any carelessness would land them among the beasts, and leaving wouldn’t be so easy then.

However, they had traveled far and still hadn’t detected any signs of life. In every direction, all they could see was desolation, exactly like the path they had traveled.

The truth was, it was just like this around the fifth war zone. Although Xiang Tian and his companions didn’t know what was happening in the other war zones, the area around the fifth war zone was filled with beasts. What the fifth war zone needed to do was to use various level barriers to block these beasts.

Now, Wang Zhan had only a handful of people left by his side. Even when combined, they were less than ten, and their combat power had naturally dropped a lot. On the Star War Battlefield, combat strength was paramount. Otherwise, if they encountered those troublesome beasts, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"It’s not sustainable to keep going on like this."

Wang Zhan said gravely, his face gradually darkening.

Xiang Tian squinted at their surroundings and slowly stepped beside Wang Zhan before saying, "I know that, but we don’t have any other options now. We can only slowly wear ourselves out here."

Xiang Zhanfei also moved to Wang Zhan’s side, his expression just as grim. They had traveled a long way without seeing anyone, and their food supplies were dwindling. It felt like walking on a blade’s edge. This feeling was indeed uncomfortable.

Just a few steps out, a sudden rustling sound came from behind the nearby trees. Everyone’s hearts immediately began to pound. This was already within a war zone of the Star War Battlefield, and all the defenders had vanished. If they were to fight the beasts on the Star War Battlefield now, they would find themselves isolated and without support.

Upon thinking of this, the faces of Xiang Zhanfei and the others darkened once more. Then, everyone turned their gaze to Wang Zhan, clearly unsure of what lay beyond the treeline.

Wang Zhan cautiously approached the treeline. As he got closer, the noise grew fainter. Wang Zhan was somewhat surprised. After careful consideration, he realized that given how close they were, it was unlikely to be an aggressive beast. If it really were a beast, it would have attacked by now.

Everyone’s hearts were in their throats, especially Xiang Tian, who rushed to Wang Zhan’s side. He patted Wang Zhan’s arm and said, "What are you doing?"

"It’s better to avoid stirring up trouble."

"We should leave this place first."

Wang Zhan replied with a smile, "No worries, everything is under my control. Based on the sounds from the trees, even if there are beasts hiding there, there can’t be many. It should be within our capabilities to handle."

Xiang Tian squinted at Wang Zhan, clueless as to where Wang Zhan’s courage was coming from. At a time like this, he still dared to make such baseless claims.

"But what if there’s a level 1 demonic beast in there?"

Xiang Tian blurted out. His worry was also quite reasonable, and Wang Zhan knew Xiang Tian was concerned for him. Wang Zhan just laughed, shrugged, and after gauging the situation around him, he quickened his pace and disappeared into the woods.

In an instant, Wang Zhan’s expression changed—not with fear, but with surprise. Before him, a little girl in a red dress was curled up, hiding behind the bushes, her body trembling constantly. It was clear that she was seriously injured.

Wang Zhen walked up to the girl, gently patted her shoulder, and asked, "Why are you here?"

The little girl weakly opened her eyes. Her face was deathly pale; it was evident she had just suffered severe trauma.

Although the little girl saw Wang Zhan approaching, she didn’t say much. She just weakly grabbed Wang Zhan’s arm and stammered, "Save me."

Wang Zhan was momentarily startled, then he quickly scooped up the little girl and carried her out of the woods.

Upon seeing the little girl, everyone immediately turned to look at them in surprise. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

What on earth is happening?

When did such a small child appear on the Star War Battlefield?

Xiang Zhanfei, who was standing nearby, looked at the little girl strangely. After all, he had been on the Star War Battlefield for many years. There might be young children present, but they would all be in the rear areas of a war zone, not on this chaotic battlefield.

After all, this was a place where demonic beasts and humans fought. The only things that existed in such a region were desolation and death.

Wang Zhan spoke again, "We can’t worry about that right now. We know nothing about this place. Now, we’ve suddenly encountered a little girl. Perhaps this is an opportunity given by heaven. Maybe we can find a way out of this desolate fifth war zone through her?"

Xiang Zhanfei smiled helplessly. He never expected Wang Zhan to be so optimistic.

In fact, after entering this place, he had already prepared himself for death. Survival on this desolate battlefield was incredibly difficult. Moreover, the Star War Battlefield was vast beyond their imagination, especially when compared to Earth. Before it, Earth seemed as insignificant as a speck of dust, while the Star War Battlefield stretched boundlessly, as far as the eye could see.

Soon, because of the little girl, everyone had to halt their advance. They were just out of the forest and needed to rest, so they set up camp among the trees. However, they didn’t dare to risk any Fire Light, as they were still unaware of their surroundings, and the consequences of any problem would be unthinkable.

Wang Zhan stayed by the little girl’s side all night. She was the only clue they had. If they could heal her, they could find out where they were and how they should proceed. Perhaps all this was arranged by heaven.

Xiang Zhanfei and the others tried to sleep quietly in their military tents, but a sense of unease kept everyone on tenterhooks. This was destined to be a sleepless night.

After a night of treatment, the little girl gradually regained her spirits. It wasn’t so much that she was injured, but rather that she had gone a long time without eating and had fainted from hunger. After a night of rest and some food, she had recovered quite a bit.

As dawn broke, the little girl was already standing beside Wang Zhan. She looked at him curiously and asked, "I remember someone brought me here yesterday. So, the one who saved me was you?"

Wang Zhan smiled. Stirring the bonfire with a stick in his hand, he said lightly, "Who else do you think it could be?"

The little girl looked at Wang Zhan curiously, studying him for a while before slowly asking, "So, why are you all here?"

Wang Zhan responded with a smile, "On the contrary, I’d like to ask you: why is a young child like you in a war zone on the Star War Battlefield? Don’t you know there are many beasts here that could take your life at any moment?"

The little girl didn’t look much older than ten, but there was a hint of courage in her eyes. After recovering, she became much more lively. Despite their limited interaction, Wang Zhan liked the little girl before him very much.

The little girl adopted an air of indifference. She looked at Wang Zhan and, with a self-deprecating laugh, said, "Anyway, I was born an orphan, with no mother or father and no friends. So it doesn’t matter where I go or where I die; no one would care. So what is the Star War Battlefield to me?"

Wang Zhan never expected a girl so young to say such things.

What had she experienced to make her think like this?

Wang Zhan walked over to the little girl. After tossing aside the wooden stick, he patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, let’s not be so negative. After all, you never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first. So, it’s better to live in the present and cherish every day."

Upon hearing Wang Zhan’s words, the little girl turned around, smiling. She glanced at Wang Zhan and said, "I didn’t expect you to be so optimistic."

"Yeah, well, life is full of difficulties. If we’re not optimistic, what else can we do? Should we just give in to despair?"

The little girl then laughed, "You’re right, there’s some truth to that. But when you’ve been on the Star War Battlefield as long as I have, you’ll realize how ridiculous your current thoughts are."
