Chapter 268: Chapter 221: Grand Temple (Seeking Monthly Passes)

Watching his sure-kill move being thwarted by two Earthwalker Beasts, that man suddenly felt weak and unable to move. He was gripped by the claw of the Earth Beast Leader. A muffled groan escaped from his mouth. However, he had already regained his composure. With muscles bulging in his green arms, he managed to trap the arms of the Earth Beast Leader in a powerful grip. With a roar, he squeezed and twisted the beast’s arms till a crisp ’crack’ was heard, effectively breaking the beast’s claws.

The Earth Beast Leader was in such agony that it let out a blood-curdling howl and slammed its head down.

With a loud ’thud’, fresh blood spurted from both their foreheads. The Green Giant let out a roar, tightened his waist, gathered his strength, unexpectedly lifted the Earth Beast Leader entirely off the ground, held it high above his head, then using his legs, forcefully thrust the Beast Leader straight out.

With a thunderous crash, he fiercely collided with one huge rock pillar. The rock pillar instantly cracked vertically. The head of the Earth Beast Leader that he was holding experienced an even more terrifying force from the collision with the rock pillar, instantly splattering into a mass of blood and pulp.

Gasping for breath, the man, now transformed into the Green Giant, loosened his arms. The lifeless body of the Earth Beast Leader, its head smashed to pieces, slipped to the ground, leaving a glaring bloody smear on the rock pillar. The man sank against the rock pillar, feeling drained as his special power seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion.

Being a Level 5 Elite Beast, the Earth Beast Leader’s power was no less than that of a Fifth-order Advanced Black Iron Warrior. Although the man transformed into the Green Giant managed to kill the Earth Beast Leader, he too felt depleted.

Su Yu, who had been stealthily hiding at a distance, silently observed everything. With the demise of the Earth Beast Leader, the remaining Earthwalker Beasts began to disperse. The five-member team, already exhausted, didn’t have the energy to give chase. Everyone exchanged looks, all feeling spent.

In the remaining team of four men and one woman, the male who could transform into the Green Giant was the strongest, a true Fifth-order Advanced Black Iron Warrior. Out of the other four, two were Tier 5 Intermediate Warriors and two were Tier 5 Beginner Warriors. Considering the group of Level 5 Elite Beasts they were up against, they had done admirably well to withstand them this long.

"Zheng Jun... Can we take a break?" one of the team members asked, panting heavily.

The man who could transform into the Green Giant, Zheng Jun, nodded, deactivated his Green Giant form, and sat down leaning on a rock pillar, feeling extremely weak.

The rest of the team members also sat down, one by one. The only female in the group approached the corpse of the woman who died earlier, sighed deeply, and then shook her head, remaining silent.

In such a world, death was all too common. No one could assure they would survive the next moment. Hence, though heartbroken, no one was surprised by the death of a comrade.

Su Yu, concealing his presence, stealthily hid behind a rock pillar. Both he and Ada had vividly felt that something was odd about these towering pillars that formed ravine-like landscapes. The five-member team was excellent in guiding them, prompting Su Yu to quietly remain on the sidelines to understand the situation. As for the safety of Meng Ting and the others, he was not particularly concerned.

Firstly, because of Meng Ting’s shrewdness, though the situation was subtle, she would never offend anyone unnecessarily. Secondly, if things did take a turn for the worse, they could always use Dragon Kid’s power to summon the ’Pit’ force and teleport back, leaving this world.

Compared to finding the "Jade Yellow Crystal Mine," he was more curious and interested in what lay ahead.

After a short rest, Zheng Jun’s five-member team started off once again. The deceased teammate was buried in a hole they dug on the spot. Everyone stood silent for a moment in front of the makeshift grave, then resolutely marched deeper along the path formed by two huge columns of stone.

Fearing they would discover his presence, Su Yu kept a good distance and followed them quietly. As the group delved deeper, none of them noticed Su Yu.

As they traveled further deep, the surrounding sights became more amazing and grandiose. The rock pillars turned into gigantic round columns with complex carvings etched into their surfaces. This appeared to have been done by humans and was certainly not a natural occurrence, unlike the earlier rock pillars.

Among these towering cylindrical columns appearing infinite in length, amid these enormous columns reminiscent of colossal pillars, an exceptionally majestic structure that was beyond imagination and nearly miraculous - a Temple - emerged.

When Zheng Jun’s five-member team and the distant hidden Su Yu saw this Temple, they were all so astounded that words failed to describe it.

The feeling was akin to a tiny ant standing before a grand human-made building. At this moment, Su Yu and the others were those tiny ants.

The monumental Temple, surrounded by gigantic round columns, had patterns and contents carved onto it. It seemed to narrate stunning and earth-shattering events from the currents of history, unfortunately submerged beneath the waves of time. Now, these faint traces of the past could only be found on these columns.

"This Temple... My God! You can’t see the top..." Someone from Zheng Jun’s team exclaimed in astonishment.

"Could this really be the dwelling place of a God?" Another person gasped in awe.
