Chapter 270: Scholar’s Heart

Although the five of them had their own flying magic treasures, Mo Wuji was the slowest.

Barely two hours later, the group of five arrived in an area full of weeds. In the midst of the weeds were broken walls everywhere, and also some remains of ancient buildings.

Mo Wuji had been here before, and back then he spent days to reach it, but now they only took less than two hours.

”This place is full of disgusting worms. When we return, let’s wipe these things out,” As their flying ships passed over this patch of weeds, Mo Wuji spoke.

Feng Zhenqiu quickly replied, ”No, definitely not. These worms must not be disturbed, as once they are provoked, even a True God Stage cultivator might not be able to escape.”

Puzzled, Mo Wuji asked, ”I don’t think so. Previously I passed through this area before, and killed quite a number of worms.”

What cultivation was Mo Wuji at then, and what level was he at now? On top of that, there were four True God Stage cultivators present, so how could they fear the worms?

As Feng Zhenqiu stared at Mo Wuji, he shook his head. The ignorant really had no fear. ”Alliance Head, this only means that you have good luck, otherwise you passed through an area of the young worms. Perhaps you didn’t stay for long, and did not anger any of the grown worms. Once the grown worms get angry, they can start flying, and they don’t stop until they die. Regardless who provoked them, they will continue to stick onto the person, until his flesh and blood has been sucked dry.”

Upon hearing this, a cold shiver ran down Mo Wuji’s spine. This was simply too scary. Luckily he had left the area of weeds immediately after crossing it. Otherwise if he was surrounded by the worms… He dared not imagine the scenario any further.

”There was a True God Stage cultivator that passed through here once. He had crossed the area, but because he suddenly felt unhappy, he started torching the worms here, which eventually angered the worm king. In the end, the True God Stage expert was devoured alive by countless worms,” Feng Zhenqiu was afraid that Mo Wuji did not understand the severity of the situation completely, so he took the initiative to quote an example.

Xing Huang also added on, ”Dean Feng is right, the worms here are also called Tarsal Bone Worms. Whoever is marked by them will never escape. On top of that, these worms can tunnel through a person’s skin into their bone marrow, and even a True God Stage expert can't block that.”

”Does this mean that no one can subdue these worms?” Mo Wuji asked in shock.

”Not exactly, these worms can be exterminated with fire…” Feng Zhenqiu explained.

However, Mo Wuji did not completely understand it, ”Dean Feng, didn’t you just say that the True God Stage expert used fire, but still got eaten by the Tarsal Bone Worms?”

Nodding his head, Feng Zhenqiu replied, ”That’s right, fire is indeed the weakness of these worms, but it depends on what type of fire you use. Not all types of fire can kill these worms. For example, Defender Xing also has a type of fire, but his fire is meant for smithing. This fire can still kill the worms here, however, as soon as a whole swarm of them engulfs you, his fire would still be insufficient.”

Xing Huang added on, ”Dean Feng is right, there are many types of fires out there. Mine is mainly for smithing, not for attacking enemies.”

”Actually, if you really want to kill those Tarsal Bone Worms, there’s someone among us that can do it,” Great Evolution Sect’s True God Stage Elder Feng Zhe turned to look at Heaven Demon Sect’s Fang Zhentian.

Feng Zhenqiu also agreed, ”Indeed, if it’s Sect Head Fang, we might really be able to exterminate those worms.”

However, Fang Zhentian just shook his head, ”I can indeed kill some of these worms, or escape from them. But to kill all of these Tarsal Bone Worms, even I am incapable of it.”

In his mind, Mo Wuji was extremely surprised. Four True God Stage experts all said that they could not do it, so how strong were these Tarsal Bone Worms?

”Actually what Dean Feng said was right, there is a type of fire that can burn these worms to death,” As Fang Zhentian spoke, he pointed in the direction of the cock star, ”Previously, the guy outside of the Lost Sky Ruins named Lu Mang did say that there was a green fire that burst into the sky a few days ago. I suspect that it could be the Scholar’s Heart…”

When they heard the words ”Scholar’s Heart”, the remaining people looked at Fang Zhentian in shock.

Other than Mo Wuji, all the True God Stage experts here knew of the Scholar’s Heart. On the surface, this fire looks like it’s gentle and beautiful, but in reality, it is wild and explosive. Once you disturbed this type of fire, your only end state would be a pile of ashes.

Continuing on, Fang Zhentian explained, ”Alliance Head Mo might not know how scary the Scholar’s Heart is. This fire looks like a beautiful green robe, calm and tranquil. But once this fire rages up, the frightening scene that ensues would be far worse than what Lu Mang described. The sort of temperature would make you lose any fighting spirit, then you’ll disappear without a trace.”

At this point, Fang Zhentian chuckled, ”If you can refine this fire, and throw out the Scholar’s Heart with your hands, not only those worms, but also those people hiding behind the worms, he he…”
