Chapter 303: Underwater City

From afar, the Atlanteans were indeed similar to ordinary humans. They had four limbs, a head, two eyes, a nose, and a mouth. However, upon closer inspection, they realized that certain things were different.

The skin color of the Atlanteans was white. They looked like Europeans, but there were mercury spots on their skin. The mercury spots were like fish scales that appeared on their necks, wrists, ankles, and cheeks.

Soon, everyone realized that the Atlanteans’s fingers were connected by a thin membrane, just like the feet of a duck.

The eyes of these Atlanteans were different from ordinary people’s. There was an eye membrane under their eyelids, just like the eyes of a crocodile.

Soon, one of the Atlanteans spoke. Wei Huo and the others could not hear his language, but they were using their Divine Sense to investigate it. After analyzing the brain waves emitted by the Atlantean, they understood what he was talking about.

The Atlantean said, “You guys head to the provincial city first. I have something to do and I need to leave the bubble.”

The Atlantean was male, but he did not have a beard on his chin. However, his body was very strong. The other adult Atlantean was female. She had long hair and the characteristics of a woman. Between the two of them was a young Atlantean around 12 years old.

The female Atlantean said, “When are you taking us out of the bubble? We can’t let the child stay at home anymore. We have to take him out of the bubble to soak in the fresh seawater.”

The man said, “You can take him there yourself. I’m busy with work. I don’t have time.”

The female Atlantean was unwilling to give up. “After being married for so many years, have you fulfilled your duty as a father? I can take the child out anytime, but he needs a father. Do you understand?”

The two of them started arguing. Wei Huo and the others, who were far away, were speechless. Xiao Liang said, “This is a realistic problem. Men can’t take care of their families if they want to support their families. It seems like both land people and Atlanteans face this problem.”

The few of them had already converged their auras and hidden their bodies. They followed the family forward and realized that the ship the three Atlanteans were sitting on did not have any oars. Yet, for some reason, they could swim freely above the magma.

The golden armor was confused. “This ship’s technology is very advanced, yet it looks like an ordinary ship. We’ve seen the materials as well, but why don’t these people use oars to row?”

At that moment, Xiao Liang said, “The ancients say that one doesn’t need oars to row a boat. One can rely on waves.”

Wei Huo was speechless.

Meanwhile, the others were enlightened. “I see.”

The golden armor said, “Impressive. You got the gist at first glance. They must have used unknown technology to obtain energy from the magma. That’s how the magma drainage device works. Understood.”

Wei Huo and Xiao Liang were speechless.

This was an expression that only the two of them understood. It seemed like as times changed, some expressions were no longer expressions. They became ancient sayings.

Wei Huo and the others continued observing the family. Soon, at a fork of the magma, the male Atlantean disembarked and said, “I’m not arguing with you. I still have to work outside the bubble. Take the child to the provincial city to see a doctor.”

After saying that, the male Atlantean left. The small boat that the female Atlantean and the young Atlantean were on was slowly sailing upstream. Although one did not need oars to row a boat, it was moving upstream. No matter how one looked at it, it did not make sense.

Along the way, Wei Huo and the others finally understood how the underwater world worked. They stopped and mercury spots gradually appeared on their bodies. Their skin started turning white, and flesh membrane appeared between their fingers.

Wei Huo said, “Let’s disguise ourselves as Altanteans. We’ll wait until we enter the provincial city to check the situation. The technology of the Atlanteans is very advanced. This time, we can try to obtain some information on science and technology.”

Wei Huo and the others continued moving forward. However, as they did not know much about the Atlanteans’s shipbuilding technology, they could only walk along the magma shore. As they did, they saw many Atlanteans hurry by. Most of them were traveling on black ships, but these ships were all different.

Although most of the ships were black, some were white, some were blue, and some were green. At the same time, their styles were different. There were small three-man ships, and there were also many larger ones. At the same time, there were also some luxurious ships with beautiful interior decorations. Everyone looked at them for a while before Xiao Liang suddenly said, “Aren’t they… like cars? Is this magma river a road?”

Wei Huo thought so too when he heard Xiao Liang’s words. It was obvious that some Atlanteans who drove luxurious ships were very arrogant. When they cut into a line, ordinary ships did not dare make a fuss.

Xiao Liang could not help but say, “The traffic here is not very nice either!”

The Prime Minister Black Dragon said, “There are many boats, and this is a narrow river. It seems like even an ordinary person can buy a boat here. Perhaps we can buy one too?”

The Prime Minister Black Dragon’s suggestion was approved by everyone. Although they could not understand the scientific principles behind the ships’ movement, this did not stop them from buying one for research.

The relaxed appearance of the five of them was a stark contrast to the busy Atlanteans in the magma stream. After Wei Huo and the others walked for about 10 hours, they finally saw the provincial city mentioned by the Atlanteans.

The first thing he saw was an extremely huge underwater volcano. Endless lava flowed out of the volcano’s mouth, and at the foot of the volcano was an extremely majestic city.

The buildings in the city were all made of special steel. They were all tall buildings, and the tallest one was 500 to 600 meters tall. Magma flowed everywhere in the city and divided it into several parts.

Everyone admired the city. Meanwhile, they were all filled with emotions. It turned out that cities could also be like this.

Xiao Liang said, “The world is always filled with all sorts of magical events. I want to see such magical events my whole life.”

Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi were surprised as well. They admired the unique city carefully. At that moment, the two of them were like a couple traveling overseas. Xiao Liang had become a tour guide, the Prime Minister Black Dragon had become a logistician, and the golden armor was in charge of being the joker.

Wei Huo said, “We might be the first group of land people to travel to the underwater world of Atlantis, right?”

Everyone nodded. Perhaps in the past tens of thousands of years, they were the only land people who had come to this place. After all, humans could not send ordinary people there with their current technology. The protective shield was enough to stop most people. Even if one entered, one would have to adapt to the environment.
