Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 2518  A Flood Dragon

”Eight gates… half as before.” Lin Mu took note thinking there might be some significance to it.

~CREAK~

Opening the nearest gate, they arrived in a larger hall that had a better condition than before. ”Whoa… Thatʼs a lot of murals.” In there they could see entire walls covered with ancient murals.

These were also weathered but were in a much better condition than the rest in the city. Lin Mu approached one and observed it.

They showed the Atlanteans finding an mountain that was covered in corals. But hidden within the corals a faint figure could be made out.

The next mural showed the Atlanteans discovering that the figure was that of a large beast!

”A Flood Dragon?” Lin Mu recognized its form.

Flood Dragons were beasts who had evolved from a lower ranked beast that had Dragonic bloodline within them. This was usually fishes or serpents who had managed to strengthen and purify the bloodline eventually reaching the point of becoming Flood Dragons.

They had four claws, with three on front and one on the back along with a singular horn that rose from their forehead. They had great control over water and depending on the body of water they lived in, their strength could vary. A Flood Dragon that lived in a river was incomparable to one that lived in a Sea or Ocean. A sea might only have one or two of them, but an Ocean could have tens or even hundreds of them. And the one showed in the mural was massive when Lin Mu compared the size of the city.

ʼItʼs body must have been at least two kilometers long.ʼ Lin Mu estimated.

The mural after that showed a great fight that had broken out between the large beast which easily wiped out half the Atlanteans in one go. It took a lot of effort and deaths before the Atlanteans used a golden cage that seemingly restrained the Flood Dragon.

With the Flood Dragon gone, the mountain had been damage a lot, with its peak having been broken off. The Atlanteans then construction their city here, turning the mountain into a Plateau.

Several murals after that showed the growth of city from a small town to what they were seeing now.

The murals on the other walls showed the daily life that the people must have had here. Lin Mu saw people going about their daily lives, buying groceries, farming and even cultivating.

The people in the group watched for a few minutes before they finally decided to move to the next hall.

This time there were only four gates and they led to a stairwell.

”Four… theyʼre decreasing by half each time.” Lin Mu wondered why.

They descended down the stairwell which was illuminate by Glowing Sea Pearls.

”Damn! How big are these pearls!?” A few among the group were shocked by the fist sized glowing sea pearls. ”Each of these can easily be sold for hundred or two hundred High Grade Immortal Stones each.” They estimated.

They felt quite enticed to pry the pearls away, but decided to focus on the mission for now. After all, they didnʼt know what would happen if they tried something like this. Places like these often had traps hidden that might get one when they tried to tamper with it.

”This is going quite deep.” Daoist Chu said looking down and being unable to see the end. ”Weʼre already about five hundred meters down.” He added.

”Seems like this might be going straight down the depths of the broken mountain.” Lin Mu replied. ”If there is a prison to contain a celestialʼs Soul Fragment, Iʼd also hide it in a place like that.” He added.

”True.” Daoist Chu nodded.

After a while they reached the bottom of the Stairwell which only had two gates.

”Exactly half of before.” Ziran said. ”The next hall should only have a single one if the logic is correct.” ”Maybe.” Lin Mu said as he opened the gate and walked out.

”What the…” but once they did, they saw something they had not expected at all.

Lying in front of them was a huge dark abyss instead of a well constructed hall like before. It was pitch black and the bottom of it could not be seen. The place they were standing at also seemed to be a balcony that was attached to the ceiling.

”I suppose this does give a prison vibe.” Crown Prince Feng Shun said, furrowing his brows. ”It is also blocking our immortal sense this time.” He added.

”Yeah, thereʼs an array blocking it.” Lin Mu could sense it clearly this time. ”Iʼll go down first.” He said before jumping down.

He sank down rather quickly and passed through the limits of the array which was only blocking immortal sense and wasnʼt actually a barrier. ”You can come down too.” Lin Mu sent a message, calling the rest seeing that there was no restraint.

”That array probably stops any Qi fluctuations from going in and out.” Daoist Chu analyzed.

”Yeah…” Lin Mu said having a bad feeling. ”Can you light up the place?” he asked.

”Sure.” Daoist Chu threw another pearl which brightly illuminated the abyssal area.

~SHUA~

The bright light revealed a rather horrifying figure below them. It towered for at least six hundred meters and was coiled up, on the floor.

”Is that…” A few members of the group took a step back in shock.

”The Flood Dragon…” Lin Mu muttered knowing his hunch was correct. ”Is it alive?” Crown Princess Shang questioned.

Lin Mu observed closely but felt no energy fluctuations coming from it.

”Xiao Yin, Xiao Yang, can you feel anything?” Lin Mu asked them too.

”Thereʼs a vague feeling of Bloodline pressure from it but nothing more.” Xiao Yin replied.

”It doesnʼt seem to be fully alive.” Xiao Yang replied.

”Perhaps it might be in a dormant sleep. Dragons are known to do that after all.” Ziran said. ”Unfortunately for us our target is down there…” he frowned.
