When Han Sen was in the Alliance, he was a very good swimmer. After spending a few months in Dream Lake, his swimming skills had improved. Even if he was tied up, he could still swim with his tongue.
The turtles had all entered the Dragon Pool, and Han Sen was the first to jump in.
Dragon Fifteen invited Xius to jump in after Han Sen. Dragon Fifteen's maid, Long Ying, followed.
Han Sen did not show off his swimming skills, though. He pretended to use his godlight to cut through the waves.
Dragon Fifteen and Long Ying were very good at swimming. They were no different in the water than they were on land. It was no wonder they were Dragon.
Xius was a good swimmer, too. She was able to keep up with Dragon Fifteen without any difficulty.
Han Sen thought to himself, "Dragon Fifteen and Xius might be Marquises, but Long Ying is stronger. She should be a Duke. Pure Dragons are strong, and Dragon Fifteen is no weaker than Dragon Thirteen. Xius is not easy to deal with, either, and Long Ying is even more troublesome. I don't think I'll be able to win."
The Dragon Pool did not look very big from the outside, but it was like an upside-down bowl. The deeper they went, the wider the pool became. Han Sen could see a group of Spiky Turtles swimming deeper into the pool. The Duke class Spiky Turtles did not look so big underwater.
The Dragon Pool was very deep, and his vision was limited. He couldn't see what was down there, so he had no choice but to follow the Spiky Turtles.
Dragon Fifteen and Xius were not in a rush, either. They followed Han Sen, and they were able to speak freely underwater.
The deeper they went, the darker it became. But when they reached a depth of ten thousand meters, there was a light in front of them. It was like the light at the entrance of a dark cave.
Han Sen had never been down there before, so he did not know much about the place. He thought to himself, "Is there a tunnel to another place at the bottom of the Dragon Pool?
Does it lead to the Ancient God Space? "
Soon, Han Sen realized that his guess was wrong. The light below them was not an exit or a tunnel. As they dived deeper, the light became clearer. Through the shadows of the Spiky Turtles, they could see that at the bottom of the Dragon Pool, there was a giant underwater palace.
He didn't know what material those palaces were made of, but they emitted a blue light that illuminated the bottom of the water, making it look like a fantasy world.
However, many of those fairytale-like palaces had already collapsed. There were ruins everywhere. The Spiky Turtles had already sped up and swam towards the palace ruins.
Han Sen looked around, but he didn't see the xenogeneic known as the Dragon God. That made him feel a lot safer. He followed the Spiky Turtles to the palace.
After getting closer to the palaces, Han Sen realized that the palaces were much bigger than he had imagined. Any random stone pillar was dozens of meters tall.
The stone tables and chairs were huge, too. A few adult humans could fit on a plate. Clearly, this underwater civilization did not belong to humans or Dragons.
Dragons were about the same size as humans, so they couldn't have built such a giant ruin. It wouldn't have been practical for them.
"What are these palaces?" Dragon Fifteen asked Han Sen from behind.
Han Sen shook his head. He pretended to be a bad swimmer, so he used his godlight to break through the water. After that, he said, "I don't know. I told you that the Dragon God brought me here by accident. I don't know much about this place, so there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me."
Dragon Fifteen didn't ask any more questions. The reason he had forced Han Sen to come down was not because he wanted Han Sen to lead the way. Han Sen's background was too suspicious, and he couldn't just leave him be. Keeping Han Sen under surveillance was the safest thing to do.
Xius looked at the palaces and said, "Mister Fifteen, I have heard that Return Ruin Sea was a xenogeneic space that belonged to the Sea Gods. Is that true?"
Dragon Fifteen coldly said, "When we Dragons took over Return Ruin Sea, we didn't see the Sea Gods. I don't know if the rumors are true, and I haven't seen any Sea God ruins.
Xius, you are very knowledgeable. Can you tell if these palaces have anything to do with the Sea Gods? "
Xius smiled and said, "The Sea Gods are a legendary higher race.
Because they died so early, no one has ever seen them before.
We've only been able to find bits and pieces of the Sea Gods' ruins.
But those ruins are small, and they can't compare to this place.
Judging from the architectural style of this place, it seems to be similar to the architecture of the Sea Gods.
I don't know much about it, so I can't be sure."
While they were talking, the Spiky Turtles reached the palaces. Their target was clear. They didn't linger around the palaces or the ruins. They swam straight for one of the ruins.
Many Spiky Turtles stopped around the ruins that looked like a small mountain. They floated in the water until the giant Spiky Turtle brought the Spiky Turtle King to the ruins. The Spiky Turtle King screamed, and the Spiky Turtles rushed to the ruins. They started digging through the rubble.
They didn't know what the blue stones were made of, but they looked very hard. Not even the Duke class Spiky Turtles were able to break them. They had to move them.
Numerous Spiky Turtles of various sizes busied themselves as they moved the gravel away one by one.
Han Sen and the others stopped and watched the Spiky Turtles dig. They didn't plan on doing anything right now.
There were many Spiky Turtles, and with the help of the Duke class Spiky Turtles, they were able to dig through the rubble quickly. Something started to emerge from the rubble.
As more and more rubble was removed, Han Sen was able to see what it was.
Under the hill-like ruins, there was a turtle statue. However, the turtle statue was a little strange. It was standing upright and wearing strange armor. The turtle wore a circular helmet on its head. In each of its two front claws, there was a huge stone hammer.
The turtle statue was over ten meters tall. No matter how one looked at it, it had a domineering aura that ordinary turtles didn't have. Just the two huge octagonal stone hammers were enough to make people gasp in amazement.
While Han Sen was looking at the turtle statue, the Spiky Turtles stopped moving. When the Spiky Turtle King screamed, the Spiky Turtles all crouched in the water. It looked as if they were worshipping the turtle statue.
The Spiky Turtle King swam down from the giant turtle's head. It swam over to the turtle statue.
"Do the Spiky Turtles have something to do with the turtle statue?
Could they be related to him by blood? "Long Ying asked in surprise.
"That might be possible." Xius looked at the turtle statue and the Spiky Turtle King.
Long Ying wished to say something, but the Spiky Turtle King swam in front of the turtle statue. Its black body was the size of a plate, and it landed on the turtle's helmet.
