Chapter 272: Earthstone Heart

After leaving the tunnel, Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin dashed straight toward the ancestral temple next to them. While charging, Liang Zhuangmin pushed his senses to the maximum, trying to sense any dangers around them.

He found with astonishment that there really wasn't anyone here at all. The only things he could hear were the sounds of chaos and the fire all around the place. Evidently, the cannibals were in internal disorder.

Is something big happening among the cannibals? But how did Xiang Shaoyun know about it?

Wondered Liang Zhuangmin inwardly.

But since his current focus should be the earthstone heart, he did not bother wasting too much time thinking about his doubts. After entering the ancestral temple, they saw piles of bones on both sides of the temple.

There were beast bones and human bones, and crimson blood could be seen dripping to the ground. Right in front of them was an altar where numerous skulls were arranged, exhibiting a sinister sight. Both Xiang Shaoyun and Liang Zhuangmin were bold, but even they felt their legs go somewhat weak upon seeing this sight.

"The earthstone heart is on the altar!" Xiang Shaoyun quickly recovered and pointed at a fist-sized yellow rock on the altar.

The yellow rock was emanating a faint radiance that made the entire altar look yellow. As for the power of earth emanating from the yellow rock, it flooded the entire temple. The moment Xiang Shaoyun pointed at where the earthstone heart was, Liang Zhuangmin charged forth impatiently.

Right as Liang Zhuangmin's hand was about to reach the earthstone heart, Xiang Shaoyun's pupils shrunk as he cried out, "Brother Liang, retreat! There is danger!"

As he said that, he drew his saber and slashed. But he was still too slow as a few disgusting massive worms had charged out of a certain section of the altar. These worms, with thick brutal energy around them, opened their mouths and bit down at Liang Zhuangmin.

Fortunately, Liang Zhuangmin was able to react in time. A brown energy barrier immediately formed around him. The worms were only able to bite Liang Zhuangmin's barrier and failed to harm him. It was at this time that Xiang Shaoyun's saber energy arrived.

Cling! Clank!

These worms looked extremely disgusting, but they still had terrific defensive power. Xiang Shaoyun wasn't even holding back, yet he could only send them flying instead of killing them directly. As the worms were sent flying, Liang Zhuangmin reached out and grabbed the earthstone heart before stowing it away.

"Go!" Liang Zhuangmin shouted and dashed away.
