Old Ancestor: Thrown Out By The Nanny From The Start - Chapter 519 - Chapter 519: Test

Chapter 519: Test

Leela didn’t try to hide their appreciation for Himmel Soan.

They didn’t waste any time. Since Himmel Soan had made a choice, the test should begin.

“I see you’ve made up your mind. The test will start now.” Leela’s voice resonated in the cave.

The wall at the end of the cave trembled violently. It slowly parted, revealing a path that was wide enough to let one man pass at a time.

“This cave is only the starting point of the multi-space. This path will take you to your first test location.”

Himmel Soan nodded. That was more like it.

The name of the multi-space suggested it should be much more than an underground cave.

“Firey, let’s go!”

“Master, I’m sure we can get through all kinds of tests.” Firey smiled happily, not knowing what the test meant to Himmel Soan.

Life and death. The test could give him the greatest power or turn him into a pile of bones.

It all depended on his performance.

They entered the path one after another. Himmel Soan felt the world spinning around him, making him retch.

It was unlike what he felt before when traveling through time and space.

He didn’t know how much time had passed. It could be an instant or a thousand years. He lost count of time.

It seemed forever before he could see properly again.

He was in front of a fragrant garden. The exuberance washed away the disoriented feeling.

He quickly looked around to find himself in a meadow. Countless trees grew so tall that they touched the sky.

There was a river ahead of him, and on it was a bridge.

“Master, it’s so pretty here!” Firey appeared next to Himmel Soan and was immediately attracted by the view.

This place looked surreal.

If Himmel Soan hadn’t known this was the first test’s location, he would have wanted to live here permanently.

No!

He soon realized what was wrong with this place.

Yes, the view was stunning, but if one looked closely, one would realize there were no signs of life.

To be more precise, there were no animals. There was grass, trees, and a lot of flowers, but no animals.

It was as if they were all extinct.

There were no butterflies on the flowers and no fish in the river. They couldn’t see any birds or running animals, either.

“Firey, be careful,” Himmel Soan said solemnly.

Danger could be hidden in the beautiful scenery.

The place could easily make one lose the motivation to keep fighting. One could get lost here forever.

If they didn’t keep their guard up, they would be killed so soon that they wouldn’t know what hit them.

“Leela, what’s the purpose of this first test?” Himmel Soans asked, but there was no reply.

Leela seemed to have disappeared. There was only silence.

Boom!

The river seemed to have been enraged by his voice.

The current had been quite calm, but angry waves suddenly rose out of the water. They smashed down at Himmel Soan, who immediately jumped away.

Although they were only waves, he could still sense the destructive power.

He was even more certain that great danger was hidden beneath the pretty facade.

The waves smashed onto Himmel Soan’s previous spot. If he hadn’t dodged in time, they would have devoured him.

When the waves receded, the spot where Himmel Soan stood was in a mess. The three-meter deep pit was the demonstration of the waves’ power.

“Master!”

Firey only realized what happened afterward. The waves were so fast that even she didn’t react in time.

Boom!

The waves charged at Himmel again in the shape of an arrow.

The wave before was as fast as a race car, but this time, the wave moved so rapidly that it was almost flying.

Himmel Soan dodged again and narrowly escaped.

“Master…”

“Keep your voice down!” Himmel Soan reminded Firey in a whisper.

He was sure now that the waves were attracted by sounds.

Firey immediately stopped talking.

The river calmed down only after there were no other sounds.

“This first test seems pretty difficult. The river is dealing me a head-on blow at the first encounter.”

Himmel Soan chuckled.

His strength hadn’t recovered yet. Handling the river was proving to be strenuous.

It was only a small part of the first test, and this place was vast. One could only imagine what danger was waiting ahead.

Every step could be a trap, which might be an understatement.

“Master, I’m sorry…” Firey said guiltily.

“There’s no need to apologize. I didn’t notice it either. I don’t blame you.” Himmel Soan rubbed her head and smiled gently.

“I guess that bridge is our only way to cross the river.”

Himmel Soan looked at the river.

The seemingly calm river was full of danger. To cross it, the bridge was the only option. Otherwise, the river could turn into the most lethal killer.

“Yes!” Firey followed Himmel Soan, and they stepped onto the bridge.

The waves rolled violently when they were halfway through. The river surged like boiling water.

The bridge shook with it, throwing Firey and Himmel Soan from side to side. If they lost their balance, they would be thrown off the bridge and devoured by the water.

“The bridge isn’t as safe as I thought.”

Himmel Soan managed to steady himself. With his ability, of course, he wouldn’t be thrown into the river.

He held Firey’s hand and slowly moved forward.

With each step, the bridge shook more violently. By the time they almost reached the other end, the bridge was spinning like a spindle.

Firey and Himmel Soan looked like they were on a roller coaster ride.
