Chapter 97: Swamp
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the swamp area of the Blue Jade Mystic Realm, countless dangers were hidden. Although some places underground looked like land, when one really stepped on them, one might sink in. It was even very difficult to get out. One had to take a closer look at which places to step on, otherwise, if one took a wrong step, one might be swallowed by the swamp. It was very dangerous, and there was danger even above the ground. The entire swamp area was enveloped by a faint layer of dense fog. At first, Ron did not care about the fog, but after he had inhaled a lot of it, he felt dizzy. He seemed to be having a fever, and he even felt nauseous and vomited. Only then did Ron begin to notice the harmful effects of the fog. He immediately covered several layers of cloth around his mouth and nose, so that he could filter the air. Although he would still inhale some of the poisonous fog, it would not be a problem anymore.
At this moment, he had more or less figured out most of the dangers in the swamp, so he was advancing faster and faster. Now, he was almost flying forward. Just as Ron was flying past a stretch of water, an alligator, the size of a truck, suddenly jumped out of the water and opened its bloody mouth to bite at Ron. When the alligator opened its mouth, it even emitted a suction force. This was also a type of magical beast with the strength of mid-stage level-4, equivalent to a human level-8 or 9 Great Mage. Ron was not afraid at all. He waved the Ice Wand in his hand, and instantly shot out a gust of cold air. It directly froze the alligator which was of the size of a truck into an ice cube. Then, with a loud bang, it fell straight into the water, completely dead.
However, before the alligator could sink into the water, Ron immediately landed on the alligator’s carcass, and then used a wind-based magical power to cut open the alligator’s head like a sharp knife. He was overjoyed to see a crystal clear pearl emitting powerful magical waves inside. This was the alligator’s Magical Beast Core. He took the crystal core and flew out again, stopping on a floating island.
When Ron had flown over earlier, he had already observed this floating island. There were many plants on it, and there were even a few prominent boulders. This was enough to show that this floating island was a real floating island, and not just a layer of silt above it. He put away the alligator’s crystal core and then sized up the floating island. He found that the floating island was more than 20 meters in length and width. In this swamp, it was already a very large floating island. There were also many strange plants growing on it. There were even some plants that were obviously plants but could move like serpents. It was simply magical, and breathtaking to Ron.

It had probably been frightened by Ron’s sudden arrival and was about to run away. But it had just jumped off the rock, and its body was still in the air. The plant, which had been blooming quietly beside it, actually swallowed the frog with its petals like a hunter that had been waiting for his prey. Then the petals closed directly into a flower bud. Ron saw the bud move a few times, and even the cry of a frog could be heard. However, it quickly calmed down, and the croaking of the frog also disappeared. Ron was dumbfounded.
Damn, has the plant become a spirit?
Ron released his mental strength to check the strength of the giant flower. Sure enough, he found that this flower was indeed releasing magical power constantly. Although it was very weak, in Ron’s experience, this flower should be equivalent to one-tenth of the magical power of a level-1 Mage. Ron did not care about it since it was of no threat to Ron.
Ron had also seen many similar strange plants and animals previously. In the beginning, he would kill them off conveniently, but now, he had encountered too many, and he was too lazy to do it. Besides, even if he killed them, there was nothing good. He would only fight when he encountered magical beasts of level-3 and level-4. Firstly, they were of similar strength to him, and could be used to sharpen himself, and secondly, he could obtain the Magical Beast Cores in their bodies. On his way here, the strongest magical beast Ron had encountered was a magical beast at the peak of level-4. However, with the attack of Ron’s gold-tier Ice Wand, he only needed one attack to kill the other party. And in this entire trial space, the magical beasts of the peak of level-4 were the strongest magical beasts. This was because the strongest magical beasts had already been cleaned up by the great experts of the academy. After all, their genius disciples had all been sent here for training, if a few of the magical beasts were level-5 or even level-6, wouldn’t it be letting their genius disciples court death? Nonetheless, this was not absolute, the space here was very huge, there were also many magical beasts here. There was no guarantee that a peak level-4 magical beast would not happen to be promoted to level-5 at this time. If such a situation was encountered, then a large group of people would die.
Apart from magical beasts, there were also natural disasters which were even more dangerous. After all, this space was only a subspace and was not stable, so there would occasionally be some spatial turbulence or even spatial cracks. These two were the most dangerous. Even a Great Archmage would not dare to take the risk easily, let alone a Great Mage. When Romo was alive and coming here to train, he had encountered a spatial turbulence once. He had wanted to pass through the spatial turbulence and obtain the natural treasures behind it. At that time, a genius at the peak of the Great Mage realm had arrived and chased Romo away. He went over himself and ended up dying in the spatial turbulence. His corpse had been torn into pieces, making it a tragic sight. Therefore, before coming, Romo had warned Ron repeatedly to hide as far away as possible if he saw the spatial turbulence. Fortunately, Ron did not encounter any spatial turbulence along the way. At most, he had encountered an upper-space wind which kept attacking him like a knife, but luckily he had the platinum-grade Spirit Turtle Magic Robe, so he was not injured, and that was the most dangerous episode.
The interior area of the Blue Jade Trial Mystic Realm was about a thousand kilometers across. There were a total of five types of terrain. The central region was a desert, which was where the entrance to the mystic realm was. To the north, it was a land of ice and snow. To the south, there was a huge volcano. To the east, there was a dense forest. To the west, there was a large swamp. The route Ron had chosen was the swamp in the west. According to the experience of predecessors, the forest area in the east was the area with the least danger and the most treasures. Therefore, most people had chosen to go east.. For example, the path William and the rest had chosen was to go east.
