182: Chapter 212 The Underwater Dragon Palace

Once they reached the ground, the Griffin still wanted to take off, but Alicia and Medusa had already caught up to hunt it down.

Medusa immediately transformed into her giant python form and coiled her body around the Griffin.

The Griffin struggled continuously, but being coiled by Medusa, all its efforts were in vain.

At this moment, Medusa began to tame the Griffin using a special language!

The Griffin was still struggling at first, but as Medusa tightened her grip, its struggles grew weaker and weaker.

As the Griffin let out a howl, a look of joy appeared on Medusa's face, and she released the Griffin.

"It is done!"

"It has submitted and is willing to become our mount."

The Griffin shook off its singed hair, hopped on the ground a few times, and then prostrated itself on the ground, assuming the proper posture of a mount.

Jiang Ling was very excited and jumped onto the Griffin's back in one swift motion.

With such a Tier 7 beast as a mount, his strength had increased significantly.

"Alright, let us head toward that city now."

The three of them sat on the Griffin's back together, and there was still plenty of room.

The Griffin stomped its feet violently against the ground, flapped its wings, and flew into the sky.

The flying speed was indeed much faster; before long, Jiang Ling and the others arrived above the ancient city.

To avoid attracting the attention of other powerful experts, Jiang Ling and his companions landed outside the ancient city.

This ancient city was surrounded by ancient walls built from massive stones; despite enduring thousands of years of wind and rain erosion, they remained incredibly sturdy.

The walls were covered in emerald green ivy, adding a touch of vitality and softness to the ancient structure.

Jiang Ling and the others arrived at the main gate of the ancient city and stepped inside.

There were not many adventurers who could reach this ancient city now; only Tier 7 or Tier 8 experts.

The ancient city was very large, and they were scattered everywhere!

Therefore, the entire interior of the ancient city was quiet.

Jiang Ling looked at the ancient city and found that although it was dilapidated, it was magnificent and imposing, with every part displaying its past prosperity and extraordinary nature.

This was definitely not a city that could be built by the ordinary Human Race.

Inside the city, some high-rise buildings were hundreds of meters tall, much taller and more magnificent than modern architecture.

Moreover, the buildings here always seemed to have a strange style, completely different from any architecture Jiang Ling had seen before.

Jiang Ling entered some of the rooms to inspect them and found that the various facilities inside did not look like a place where humans lived.

Those who lived here were likely from other races.

"Medusa, do you know what place this is?"

Jiang Ling asked.

"I do not know!"

Medusa shook her head, "But I can be certain that this is an architectural creation of underwater creatures, not land creatures!"

"Underwater creatures' architecture?" Jiang Ling was slightly surprised.

"Can there be buildings on the seabed too?"

"Of course there can!" Medusa said, "Poseidon once built a massive underwater Empire!"

"This does not look like Poseidon's underwater city, but rather more like an Eastern underwater city."

"An Eastern underwater city?" Jiang Ling raised an eyebrow, "Could it be the legendary Dragon Palace?"

"Let's look further inside."

Jiang Ling, Medusa, and Alicia continued to move forward, feeling more and more that the city was strange.

Many of the traces here were not the work of the Human Race.

Jiang Ling clicked his tongue in wonder, not knowing what good things might be inside.

However, Tier 7 and Tier 8 Martial Artists had already gone in, so he was afraid there would not be many good things left by the time he arrived.

It was a pity.

Jiang Ling and the others traveled all the way until they finally arrived in front of the palace of this massive ancient city.

This palace was absurdly large; the gate seemed not to have been prepared for humans, standing dozens of zhang high.

The palace gate was already pushed open. When Jiang Ling and the others arrived at the gate, they discovered various golden Dragon patterns depicted on it, looking vivid and lifelike.

"Good heavens, could it really be a Dragon Palace?"

Jiang Ling and the others stepped into the palace and found that the interior was filled with Treasure Artifacts and pearls.

Upon entering the main hall, the first thing that caught their eyes was a path paved with pure blue crystal, which refracted dreamlike blue light in the seawater.

On both sides of the path stood pillars carved from thousand-year-old coral; the coral's texture was delicate and magnificent, inlaid with brilliant diamonds and various gemstones, shining brightly.

The dome of the main hall was extremely high, as if it were leading to the endless abyss of the seabed.

Above the dome was a star map composed of natural pearls and luminous shells; the twinkling lights resembled a real night sky, making one feel as if they were situated in the Universe.

In the very center of the main hall was a massive throne. The throne was carved from a single piece of deep-sea cold jade; the jade was crystal clear and emitted threads of chill.

The armrests of the throne were two lifelike Flood Dragons, their bodies inlaid with countless golden scales, each one shining with dazzling light.

Behind the throne was a huge crystal screen, carved with a magnificent underwater world, featuring playful dolphins, elegant mermaids, and swimming whales, with every detail depicted vividly.

The floor of the main hall was covered with soft shark-silk carpets, embroidered with exquisite underwater flowers and mysterious runes, making it feel like stepping on clouds.

On the surrounding walls hung scrolls woven from golden underwater silk, depicting the glorious history of the Dragon Palace and the great achievements of the successive Dragon Kings.

"Holy crap!"

"It really is a Dragon Palace!"

Jiang Ling was stunned.

He felt that all of this was somewhat unreal.

Those powerful experts should have also visited this palace, but for some reason, they did not take the treasures here.

Perhaps these treasures were just decorations, and the experts wanted resources useful for Cultivate.

Therefore, these ornaments were not valued.

Jiang Ling observed the lifelike murals, which depicted many battle scenes, scenes of Dragons fighting against other creatures.

Countless Dragons breathed fire or water jets, fighting those creatures until the sky and earth turned dark.

Jiang Ling even felt his Divine Sense being pulled in, participating in this great battle.

"Comprehending this Dragon Clan's great battle seems to be able to help me understand this Dragon Clan's fighting style!"

Jiang Ling's eyes suddenly lit up.

These murals were not of much use to others, but to him, it was completely different.

He possessed Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability; looking at the murals of the ancient Dragon Clan, he could comprehend some of the essence of the Dragon Clan's combat.

Medusa and Alicia were both stunned when they saw Jiang Ling like this.

They did not expect that Jiang Ling could actually comprehend things from this.

That was too monstrous!

They stood on either side of Jiang Ling, protecting him.

This comprehension process took Jiang Ling a day and a night.

During this time, no one else came into this Dragon Palace hall.
