Chapter 335: Lost Ancient City—R'lyeh

"Your... Your Highness, our ship, is grounded!"

The 'Golden King' trembled violently and finally leaned crookedly against an abandoned megalithic palace and went on strike.

"What? Actually at such a time!"

Karl frowned. Didn't expect the ship to be grounded at such a critical moment.

"Shipwright, immediately check the damage of the 'Golden King'. Guards and mercenaries get off the ship to guard!"

The so-called mercenaries are naturally the Travelers who joined the fleet. As a prince who often goes to sea for adventure, Karl immediately made a corresponding decision, but the strange environment around him really made him worry about the current situation.

"Miss Vivian, the situation is unclear now, please help to guard, I will discuss our future itinerary with the teacher and Miss Agasha."

As the first master of the fleet now, Vivian following to guard the ship can indeed play a great role in stabilizing people's hearts. In fact, this guy was eager to get off the ship and turn around just now.

"Alright!"

Vivian turned and ran without hesitation. She didn't take the rope ladder and jumped off the ship, and then unexpectedly stepped on the wet and slippery megalithic ground and fell a big horse-face.

She didn't care, patted her knees, stood up, and walked excitedly toward a half-human, half-fish skeleton not far away.

After arranging the guards, Karl looked at the old astrologer with a serious face.

"Teacher, the situation here should be different from what you imagined! Are you sure you didn't find the wrong place?"

The old face of Aertaluosi didn't have the certainty at the beginning, leaving only a full face of entanglement.

"The location sh... should be correct! But... how could this place be like this? It should have been a sacred and solemn temple!"

"If it's a temple, are you talking about that place?"

Agasha, who was listening quietly, pointed to the depths of the huge city, where some cyan-green light was faintly emitted in the mist.

Following Agasha's finger, Karl and Aertaluosi looked up.

Karl was full of seriousness with caution and confusion about the unknown, while Aertaluosi's turbid eyes lost focus the moment he saw the cyan light.

"The sea... the sea is breathing! No... it's R'lyeh's breathing... the Storm Sea is gills! The gills are twitching!"

Karl was full of confusion. Sure enough, the old guy was crazy. He was actually stupid enough to find a lunatic to discuss things.

And Agasha beside him changed her face greatly. She, who had already been suspicious, was completely awakened after hearing the 'R'lyeh' in Aertaluosi's mutterings.

"Bad, this is the lost ancient city of R'lyeh, C... C... how is it possible? Isn't this the Fairytale World? No, the ancient gods recorded in the Elf race... Ancient God invasion! It turns out that wasn't a boring background story!"

Although he couldn't understand Agasha's words, Karl could clearly see that Agasha seemed to know about this city.

"Miss Agasha, do you know something? Is this huge lost city called R'lyeh City?"

Agasha's face was ugly. Knowing this truth was worse than not knowing it!

"Your Highness, this should be the legendary R'lyeh City. However, this is not good news. The owner of this city is a crazy ancient god, or to put it another way—Great Old One!"

"Ancient God... Great Old One!" Strange terms, but if it can be called an Ancient God, then... "Miss Agasha, that is to say, is it really possible that there is a 'Fountain of Youth' in the temple in this city?"

"Eh?!"

Has this guy always been so brave?

Take the initiative to find Cthulhu for sugar?

Don't want your SAN value?

Take the initiative to seek madness?

"Fountain of Youth... maybe there will be, but I can be sure that it is definitely not what you want. Ancient gods are all blind, foolish, and indescribable monsters. Besides making you completely crazy, they can't bring you any actual things you want, or you will feel happy and beautiful after you are crazy!"

Cthulhu wishes you eternal life with a cup of mucus, but please don't take me with you!

Agasha's words made the originally lucky Prince calm down. The subjects of the Lisi Kingdom would definitely not accept a crazy Prince.

"Go, we have to leave here!"

Agasha was gratified that the Prince's mind was still mature. Encountering things related to ancient gods, leaving immediately is the best choice.

"The stars have returned to their places... we followed the will of the ancient gods to come here... Star-spawn... prepare to welcome the great Cthulhu's awakening..."

"Thud!"

The longbow hit the back of Aertaluosi's head fiercely, and the old astrologer fainted with his eyes rolled back instantly, his body twitching twice involuntarily.

"Miss Agasha, you are..."

"This is necessary caution. Aertaluosi's spirit has been polluted by the ancient gods, otherwise he wouldn't have brought us here!" Agasha sighed and continued: "I now understand a little why we have been experiencing storms along the way. Perhaps, the world will is also trying its best to stop us from coming here, unfortunately..."

"Don't talk about it for now, let's arrange preparations to leave here! I have an ominous..."

Before Agasha finished speaking, a terrified shout came from the lookout overhead.

"Bad! There are monsters, there are monsters in the sea!"

"What?"

The change came so fast!

Following the direction pointed by the lookout, countless monsters surged from the seabed and swarmed toward the grounded 'Golden King' on the collapsed megalithic walls and broken streets.

These monsters have frog-shaped slimy heads and bulging goldfish eyes, hunched trunks covered with oozing gill holes, and serrated dorsal fins hanging with rotten algae. The long webbed claws hang below the knees, the fish-tail-like lower limbs scrape the reef, and the cyan-gray scales ooze fluorescent mucus.

"Fishmen! It's fishmen! Everyone be careful!"

Compared to the mermaid with a human body and fish tail, the existence of fishmen is another existence that makes people dislike. Their intelligence is low, and it is better to say that they are beasts than humans.

And here, they have another name—Deep Ones! Obviously, this kind of semi-submerged city in the water is the home field of these amphibious monsters.

"Everyone, prepare to fight! Shipwright! Shipwright! How long will it take to repair the 'Golden King'?"

Prince Karl immediately entered the commander role, but the commander didn't get the answer he wanted.

"Your Highness! A big hole was scraped in the bottom of the ship. It will take at least half a day to fully repair it!"

"What?" Looking at the monster group that can be described as covering the mountains and plains, Karl understood that his side could not fight for half a day no matter what. "Temporarily abandon the 'Golden King'! Retreat, everyone retreat with me!" ===== CHAPTER 336 =====
