To the Black Swamp

Another day pass before Mada and Sol reach the Black Swamp, not far from them Mada could make out the image of the Black Swamp that span in the horizon.

Looking at the vastness of the place and excitement of finding something for the first time filled his mind to the point that it was almost unbearable for him to keep still "Big bro, come out look at this scene come on look at this!"

With the calls of Mada Rayious came out of nowhere, his eyes was still half close as it looked like he was just woken from a nap. Looking at the vast forest in front of him he was also surprise, but then he notice that someone was missing in their group.

Looking around he checked for Sol after looking for a while he saw a woman with black clothes with a veil covering her face running five hundred meters away from where Mada and him were standing. He looked at Mada that was still acting like a kid by his side "Is that Sol?"

Mada did even looked at him when he said with all honesty "Yes, she is."

"Why is she looking like she was running for all her life without, she even looked like she is about to fall any moment you know?" Rayious wasn't that kind to Mada and in fact he found pleasure in seeing him suffer, but he was rather kind to others… well to some degree, so he was still worried about Sol.

"It happened when she said that I had a breakthrough yesterday…" Mada started to explain what happened yesterday when his energy suddenly run like amok inside him then making the impurities inside his body be flushed out.

'After that she was became like this, when we were about to set out she requested for me to run with all my might and she will try to keep up with me, she was doing well compared to other days. But three hours ago I felt that her energy was almost drained so I tried to make her rest but she refuse."

Rayious suddenly understood the situation about what was happening, he wanted to say something to Mada but he felt that he didn't need t because when he saw his eyes that was looking at Sol from afar he felt it unnecessary.

After ten more minutes Sol finally reached where he and Mada was standing, after reaching them Sol immediately dropped into the ground exhausted from all that running. The energy inside her body was drained by her from that crazy style of so called "travelling" slashed "training".

But from where Mada stood she somehow felt the happiness that was coming from Sol, and he was right about this behind the veil of Sol a smile was forming. She was feeling happiness from the sense of accomplishment that was inside her heart.

"Are you happy little Sol? Seems like you like this kind of training huh." Mada's voice travelled to her ears as she continued to lie down on the ground.

Turning her head she saw the face of Mada which was smiling at her, his face was close to her and for some reason that made her heart feel beat a little faster. This sudden change of heartbeat took Sol by surprise as she thought [I must be tired more than I thought.]

Making the energy that she had gathered from resting suppress the feeling that her heart was making she answered him "I kinda like it actually… oh yeah don't add that 'little' when you call my name."

Mada only gave a playful laughed as he looked towards the Black Swamp that was in front of him, Sol didn't bother with him anymore mustering the strength that she currently had, she sat down on the ground in a cross-legged position in order for her to start her meditation.

The energy of the heaven and earth rushed to Sol's body like a tide as it replenish the energy that was used up by her earlier. Her meridians directed the energy to the various places of her body until it reach her dantian.

Sol thoroughly checked her body if there were any kind of improvement that happened, the reserve of her body was now increased by another amount and although it was almost just like before there were still changes making her happy.

But this was not the only thing that improved, the cultivation that was only at the early stage of the Earthen realm was also now at the peak of the early stage she felt that she was only one step away from the middle stage of the Earthen realm.

The whole process of her recuperation took about three hours, after that three hours she stood from where she sat down. She then saw the young man and the little dragon which was just standing by her side gazing at the distant Black Swamp.

"Come on, I am already finished lets end this already." Sol dashed forward into the Black Swamp as she didn't even wait for the respond of Mada.

**

The Black Swamp was a place full of dangers like the Mist Valley and this was also the only place that the blood Ginseng could be found. Mada knew this point but he was currently facing the problem of where exactly the Blood Ginseng is located.

But as this problem was about to make him go pass his limits Sol grabbed him by the shoulders taking his attention, he saw the map that was in Sol's hand and asked "Is that the map of this place?"

"Yes, this is the map." Nodding her head Sol honestly gave a look of.

"Then why did you keep it away from us this whole time we have been, in here all this afternoon why didn't you let me know that you had the map?"

"You didn't ask me."
