Chapter 106: Deep in the Swamp

Romo looked at the gift bag casually. It was different from before; four items had appeared which he had not seen previously.
[Lost Descendant Search Magical Power: A random lost descendant could be found.]
[Ancestral Spirit Protection Magical Power: Appoint a descendant for the manifestation of the ancestral spirit to protect him. This will last for a minute.]
Romo read the details of the two items carefully and was very happy. These two items were very useful to him. Not only could he find his descendants, he could also protect them when they were in danger. These were equivalent to the enhanced version of ancestral protection magical power.
Romo looked at the price again. For all the current faith reserves, even the special price was not especially cheap. However, these two items were very useful. If he were to buy them, they would definitely be worth the price.
Hence, Romo did not consider too much. He immediately bought the two new tools and the Hundredfold Cultivation Speed magical power. As for the secret manual, he planned to consider it when he had enough Faith Points.
After buying these few tools, the System showed that the Faith Points immediately went from a five-digit figure to a four-digit figure.
Romo looked at the four-digit number of Faith Points. He planned that when everything was over, he would quickly visit his descendant, Ron, in his dream and ask him to continue to search for the descendants of the Nicholas family that had been lost outside.
However, the matter at hand was more urgent. Romo quickly shut down the System and continued to concentrate on his formation.
Ron had not let Romo down. Although he was in the trial every day, he had not forgotten to pay his respects to his Old Ancestor.
After all, the Old Ancestor had once said that as long as one paid his respect every day, the Old Ancestor would be able to sense it, regardless of whether there were any offerings or not.
Therefore, Ron treated worship as his daily task. Only after he had completed the worship ritual would he be able to concentrate on his own work. He had not forgotten it for so many years.
After Ron had paid his respect today, he walked out of the cave to see if there was anything worth exploring outside today; he was now in the deepest part of the swamp, and according to the information left behind by his Old Ancestor, Ron’s location was not far from the treasure location.
The whole journey of treasure-finding had not been very smooth either. From time to time, he would encounter more powerful monsters, but for Ron, this was a piece of cake. Everything had been settled successfully, and he had also found many valuable treasures along the way.
After another half a day of traveling, Ron finally stopped in front of the valley in the swamp.
The path ahead was filled with gray fog, making it impossible for Ron to see clearly. The wind, mixed with the thick fog, was blowing. Looking closer, Ron saw that the ground of the valley was a swamp.
Ron had to get down carefully and walk slowly forward. He found that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was like a knife cutting into his face. If it had not been for the magical protection around Ron, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Chaotic Wind!
That’s right, this was the most dangerous place Romo had ever been in since he participated in the trial. According to the information Ron had obtained, it had taken Romo ten days to arrive here.
Furthermore, he had encountered many obstacles here. On the way back to the exit, he had nearly been trapped here permanently because of time constraints.
However, Ron was much stronger than Romo back then. It only took Ron three days.
Furthermore, when Romo passed through the Chaotic Wind previously, he only had a fifth of his strength left. Unexpectedly, he failed. Because of the failure, he had lost several precious treasures here.
Very few people knew about this place, and the number of people who came here for the trial was even fewer. Hardly anyone really knew what was inside.
The Blue Jade Mystic Realm had a history of more than a thousand years. In Blue Jade City, one could buy a trial guide easily. Most of the places here were open to the public.
However, the secret place where Ron was currently located was usually circulated as secret information among various factions.
Naturally, even fewer people knew about this valley in the swamp, so Ron should be the first person to come here to train.
However, the wind Ron was facing now was much stronger in energy than what Romo had experienced more than 500 years ago.
“I’ve already practiced this in my dream so many times, it’s time to test the results.” Ron looked at the strong wind in front of him and cheered himself on.
After making up his mind, Ron took the first step and entered the Chaotic Wind.
Ron did not take any external auxiliary measures but went directly in.
Ron was not afraid at all in the face of the strong Chaotic Wind, which was full of energy. The wind from all directions seemed about to tear Ron apart. Ron’s movements were also very swift, dodging back and forth as fast as lightning. After all, this was a trial Ron had taken the initiative to seek, and also a danger he had taken the initiative to come to.
The reason why Ron had not chosen external auxiliary measures was that he wanted to rely on himself to resist the Chaotic Wind this time. If he relied on external magical equipment to deal with the danger each time, it would be very difficult for him to grow.
After about two hours, Ron’s body flew out of the gray fog like a parabola and landed on a large rock to the right of the mountain.
After a turbulent battle with the Chaotic Wind, Ron was very exhausted. His hair was disheveled, his face pale, and his forehead full of sweat. He forced himself to sit up.
Even though he was exhausted, there was a hint of excitement in Ron’s eyes. He slowly stood up. Although the process was a close call, the outcome was good—Ron had succeeded and he did not use any external magical equipment.
Just as Ron was feeling smug inwardly, he suddenly discovered that two shadows had appeared in the swamp below, and were heading directly for Ron.
Ron panicked a little and randomly summoned a piece of magical equipment. Instantly, a semicircular barrier was built around him.
Then, Ron took the opportunity to change places. Fortunately, the black shadows that had appeared from the swamp did not hurt him.
Before long, Ron found another loud bang beneath him, followed by two more shadows running toward him.
This time Ron was prepared. With a wave of his right hand, he formed a beam of light and chopped off one of the shadows. Ron was agile and quickly switched places. He shot out another beam of light, ready to chop off the other shadow.
However, he did not expect the other party to be prepared and hide.
When Ron looked down, he saw a black monster in the swamp, which looked like an octopus.
It might be the peak of level-4!
Just as Ron was surprised, he discovered that another demon beast in the form of a chameleon had appeared above his head and was flying toward him, making it impossible for him to dodge.
