Chapter 2517 The Scared Aquatic Beasts

~SHUA~

Once the Illusory figures of the Atlanteans had disappeared, the large ice 'tomb' that Mei Nienzhen had created was also dispersed. The ice melted away and the water started to glow in the area again.

But the water was now incomparably colder than before. The aftermath of their battle had also scared away a lot of the Aquatic beasts that were living in the ruins of the Atlantean City. A few might have been caught in its crossfire but the rest that were far away retreated to the outer rim of the city.

Though a few intelligent ones among them were still hiding and watching everything that was happening. After all, to them the new 'creatures' that had come to the the city weren't exactly seen by them before. Thus they were quite curious about them.

"Who are those beasts?" A Red Snapper fish beast asked the other fish beast that was hiding nearby in beast tongue. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"How would I know? I've never even gone out of the area before." A Sardine fish beast replied.

"Hmm... Two upper limbs and two lower limbs. Those strange scales of theirs that are loose and flop around along with those 'weapons' those must be humans." An Octopus beast that looked rather old stated.

"Humans? Those are really humans?" a small crab asked as bubbles blew out of its mouth.

"They should be." The Octopus confirmed. "They do look like the old masters of the city but don't have the same kind of scales." He said pointing to the large statue of the Atlantean.

"But how did they defeat those protectors? The last time a the Swordfish King tried it, he was killed in seconds." A large lobster wondered.

"They're clearly very strong. Some of them are even stronger than the beast kings here." A blue squid beast said spreading its tentacles and using it to sense the energy in water. "Those two in particular are very strong." The squid said pointing at Crown Prince Feng Shun and Mei Nienzhen.

"We've finished, there's no more offensive arrays left here." Daoist Chu stated.

"That's good... Though I would've expected there to be more of them." Lin Mu replied. "The illusory Atlanteans were strong but just them alone wouldn't have been enough for a place this size." He added.

The illusory Atlanteans would regenerate nonstop such that even if they had found out about the pearls being the nodes, they would have been unable to reach them in time. It was Mei Nienzhen holding them in place that allowed them to destroy the array finally.

But this still left some flaw in the security as it meant that large scale restrictive skills were effective against them. Lin Mu didn't think that the strong Atlanteans would keep a flaw like this.

"There were probably more formations, and offensive arrays but they seem to have weathered away after all this time." Ziran said seeing some of the writing on the walls. "I can barely read some of these and they were definitely runes but they're written in their native script." He added.

"You can actually read them?" Lin Mu was surprised.

"Barely. Some of their script shares similarities with the script of the Merpeople so they can be read. These are definitely the runes for it." Ziran confirmed.

"Looks like time has made some things easier for us." Crown Prince Feng Shun said with relief.

"Not yet, we still need to enter it. Xiao Yin and Xiao Yang weren't able to go in before so we have no idea what's hiding in there." Lin Mu stated.

"Yes, we should be careful." Lady Kang agreed.

"Let's go in." Lin Mu said and finally entered through the large archway.

This was actually one of the sixteen entrances that were present around the building, but only handful of them were still intact with the rest having collapsed long ago.

Upon entering Lin Mu and the group saw a ring shaped hall with several collapsed pillars. There were another set of gates there spread in an equal distance.
