Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 301: "Defense" of the shrine, folded space, and the treasure left behind by the senior wizard
“You’re getting meaner.”

Alazan snorted coldly.

Ronan exhaled lightly, looked at the vast and bright distance, shook his head and said: "For a small person like me who is struggling at the bottom, it is natural that I need more means than others to do things.
By the way, Alazan."

Ronan suddenly said seriously: "What you taught me these two times really helped me a lot. I owe you one."

Both [Soul Simulation] and [Soul Nail] are not complicated and have many limitations, but they are extremely useful in certain specific situations.

Without Alazan, he would have encountered many restrictions and troubles after entering the Spirit Lake.

Facing Ronan's seriousness, Alazan behaved exceptionally calmly.

"Is there anything we owe each other?"

Ronan hummed softly.

The more Alazan did this, the more he felt like he had something heavy in his heart.

He went from being wary of Alazan in the beginning to gradually developing some trust in him.

Just like how I first met Benigo.

But it is still unknown whether he can eventually reach the same state as Beniggo now.

Ronan found that he could always get along well with people with strange personalities. Perhaps without realizing it, he had already become a "freak" in the eyes of others.

“We are approaching the end of the black line.”

Ronan saw a transparent black line extending infinitely in the void in front of him, and it began to extend downward, and his eyes moved slightly.

His luck was pretty good, as the shrine he found through the secret technique was not too far away from him.

Perhaps the number of shrines remaining in the world is not as rare as he imagined, but their locations are too hidden and difficult to discover.

He cut off the connection with Alazan and chose to keep the secret of [Austerity Body Training] as secret as possible.

The black line continued to move downwards, and Ronan lowered his body and landed lightly on a relatively flat piece of land.

There are bare steep mountains all around with little vegetation, and it is as desolate as a desert.

Following the guidance of the black line, Ronan quickly arrived at a valley.

The valley was unfathomable, with bursts of cold air constantly rising out.

Ronan released the mental force field and slowly descended along the mountain wall from the valley entrance. Unexpectedly, the black line ended at a position not too deep from the valley entrance.

It was an inward-facing cave with several dried dove carcasses hanging in front of the cave.

Pushing aside the layers of dry vines tangled at the entrance of the cave, Ronan covered his mouth and nose lightly and walked a few steps inside.

Soon he saw a strangely shaped black altar appear before him.

The cave was shallower than he had expected, and the process of finding the second shrine was unusually smooth.

Ronan narrowed his eyes and looked carefully at the unopened shrine in front of him with the faint light of magic.

Just like the shrine he saw in the Cold Spirit Python's lair last time, it looked like a black stone pillar.

At the top of the stone pillar there is a statue of a girl with her face slightly facing upwards and her hands raised upwards.

The girl clasped her hands together, and a faint blue light seeped out between her delicate fingers.

"The shrine was made by ancient wizards in imitation of the shrine."

"The power sealed in the shrine is of many kinds."

"I wonder if the power sealed in this shrine is what I want."

Ronan took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

Then he reached out and gently pressed the girl's palms on the top of the stone pillar.

After just a few fiddlings, the girl's clasped hands made a "click" and opened to the sides like a pair of small wings.

Immediately afterwards, a ball of blue light leaped out, like a wave or a flame, instantly illuminating the entire cave in a deep blue.

"Om-"

Ronan's mental power immediately covered it, wrapping up the power flowing out of the shrine layer by layer.

A trace of strange power quickly penetrated into his body through his mental power, and in an instant, Ronan felt his whole body tighten.
"collapse!"

The next second, "click, click, click--"

There was a series of dense sounds of flesh and bones popping, the blue snail in Ronan's body started to move, and his [Pure Body] was automatically activated, and he naturally entered into the state of "Ancient Demon Body"!

Ronan tore off his dark blue robe, covered his body with titanium, and rose higher and higher.

The vitality and blood surging like the ocean flowed and washed through the bones, flesh and blood vessels. With a "boom", the invisible air waves spread in all directions and directly collapsed the narrow cave.

Ronan broke through the collapsed rubble with his bare hands, and he found that there was a layer of light blue transparent film around him, which was extremely tough. The black aura belonging to the [Ancient Power] was compressed by this film, forming a black flame that flowed like mercury directly on his body surface.

The ancient and barbaric battle axe appeared in his hand, clearer and heavier than ever before.

Ronan felt as if all the pores in his body were blocked, and the great power inherited from ancient times had nowhere to vent.

The runes representing the [Ancient Power] grew wildly on his body like vines and flames. They were also bound by the light blue film and could not break free. Then they gradually twisted into another pattern. In an instant, it seemed as if countless dragons were colliding in Ronan's body.
The quiet valley, shrouded in gray mist, was as calm as a pool of rotten stagnant water.

suddenly.

Invisible waves spread out from the valley, expanding rapidly visibly to the naked eye, instantly clearing away all the miasma and gray fog in the valley.

Immediately afterwards, silently, a huge axe light as black as ink broke through layers of obstacles and flew out rapidly from the bottom of the valley.

"Boom——"

The mouth of the valley, which was not very wide to begin with, was immediately cut into a large gap like a piece of butter being cut by a hot knife when the axe flashed past it.

The terrifying axe light wrapped in countless black lightning was still rising, but a figure was faster than it.

After just a few flashes, he appeared above the axe light, then opened his arms and took the initiative to meet the axe light that was coming up from below.

"Swish--" The terrifying axe light hit the figure head-on. Compared with the huge and majestic axe light, the figure with dancing black hair was as small as an insignificant ant.

However, just as the axe light touched a layer of light blue transparent film in front of the figure, the terrifying power was strangely and rapidly eliminated.

Circles of black ripples spread out, and finally, the two forces offset each other until they were completely exhausted, and all movement subsided.

Ronan stood quietly in the air, feeling the power of the holy shrine in his body which had not yet completely dissipated.

"It did have a certain effect on my [Innocent Body], compressing the power of the [Ancient Runes] and strengthening the [Ancient Demon Body]. It can be regarded as a disguised way of enhancing my combat power in this state."

"But [Ascetic Body Building] shows no signs of a breakthrough. This is not what I'm looking for."

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "The power sealed in this shrine should be the main defense effect."

Although the thin layer of light blue film is inconspicuous, its defensive power is incredibly amazing. It can even block Ronan's full-strength attack of the advanced [Ancient Power] without any effort.

There is no need to cast spells, and it does not consume any energy to oneself. The only drawback is that it cannot last long.

The power of the holy shrine only stayed in Ronan's body for less than five minutes before it naturally dissipated.

And within these five minutes, even if Ronan does not use this power, it will automatically disappear when the time is up.

"It can only be used as a trump card at a critical moment and a one-time consumable item."

Ronan flipped his palm, and a black sphere appeared in his hand. There was a very tiny crack on the surface of the sphere, and a faint blue light shone from inside.

This was the remaining power of the shrine that he had preserved using the secret method recorded in his notes. It would probably be enough for him to use it once more.

“It’s not like there was no gain at all.”

Ronan exhaled lightly and exited the state of [Ancient Demon Body].

The fact that the power of the holy shrine could work on [Immaculate Body] further solidified his guess - the key ingredient for [Austerity Body Tempering] to break through to the next level of the master level is the power of the holy shrine.

It's just that he didn't find the right power of the shrine.

"Perhaps the power contained in the holy shrine that caused the Cold Spirit Python bloodline to evolve and return to its ancestral form is exactly what I want."

Ronan guessed in his heart.

Ronan took out the robe of the Spirit Lake Deep Sea Sect and put it on again, then released the restrictions on Alazan, intending to try to get more knowledge about the power of the shrine from him indirectly.

Unexpectedly, before Ronan could talk to Alazan about the power of the shrine, Alazan's tone suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "Damien, look to the southwest on your right!"

"Um?!"

Ronan was slightly startled and looked in the direction indicated by Alazan.

He saw a bare and haphazardly stacked mountain range of rocks. He used his mental power to scan the area but did not find anything unusual.

"See the semi-circular shape?"

Alazan continued to speak.

Ronan shifted his gaze, quickly locked onto a position, and nodded.

"Ah."

The semicircular things that Alazan mentioned were two black stone peaks.

They have all been eroded by wind and sand into an arc shape with a curved top, which is quite symmetrical, so from a certain angle, it looks like a hollow semicircle.

"past."

Alazan whispered, "Remember not to use any mental power or magic to cover yourself, just pass through the center of the circle naturally."

Ronan's eyes flickered, but he said nothing.

He just followed Alazan's instructions, and when he was almost close to the semicircle of the stone peak, he withdrew the push of his mental power and let his body fall naturally through the center of the semicircle.

Everything seemed normal.

However, just as Ronan's body was about to pass through the center of the semicircle, a strange spatial fluctuation suddenly occurred.

Ronan's pupils shrank slightly, and he had no time to be shocked. The next second, he inexplicably entered a mysterious space.

"Space entrance?!"

Ronan landed steadily with both feet, as if he had crushed something, making some crisp cracking sounds.

But he didn't care about this, and immediately asked Alazan in his mind.

"How could there be a space entrance here? Why can't my mental power detect it?"

"An ordinary space entrance is like tearing a piece of paper in two directions, but this space entrance is more complicated. It is like tearing a piece of paper and then overlapping it.

From the outside, the surface is still a complete piece of paper, but in fact, there is a torn hole in the gap between the papers.

Alazan calmly explained to Ronan: "This kind of space entrance is not only secretive, but also the slightest fluctuation of mental power or magic will cause the entrance position to shift, so it is extremely difficult to be discovered...
This method is not difficult to do, but the wizard who opened up this space is very clever in that all of this is formed naturally by utilizing the terrain and environment."

"Boy, you're lucky.

Generally, this method of folding space is only used when a wizard wants to actively send something away and leave it to someone who comes later."

“Look around carefully.

Look at what good things this generous creator of the secret space has left for you."

Alazan's calm voice made Ronan's breathing quicken.

He tried to calm his agitated mood and began to look around carefully.

He was now standing on a cliff-like place, with densely packed bird skeletons beneath his feet.

Some have already decayed, while others are in the process of rotting. They must be the unlucky birds that accidentally broke into this secret space, were unable to get out, and died of starvation and thirst here.

Please give me a monthly ticket~thank you!
