Chapter 300: The Clouds Underwater
Wei Huo’s Dao Incantation Formation extended. The moment it touched the protective shield, a violent reaction took place. The formation kept shrinking, and the protective shield was also fluctuating violently.
However, the shield was still too strong. Over the past thousands of years, it had absorbed too much energy. At that moment, it had become extremely hard. Even the formation that could break anything had difficulty breaking it.
The golden armor said, “Come on, we’re almost there!”
This time, Wei Huo took out his trident. The water on both sides automatically separated. He lifted the trident and countless golden runes appeared. This time, the golden runes surrounded the trident, causing it to sparkle.
Wei Huo said, “Come with me.”
Lu Qiqi immediately summoned the black Wings of Death. As soon as the wings appeared, a terrifying aura of death spread out.
Xiao Liang took out his dagger. This dagger was also emitting Rule Power. They wanted to gather three Rule Weapons to attack together in order to break the protective shield.
The surrounding sea was very dark, but at that moment, the light emitted by their three Mythical weapons illuminated the area. A terrifying aura spread out and shocked the surrounding sea creatures. They used their strongest attacks because they were facing a Legendary-level protective shield that had been absorbing all sorts of power for thousands of years.
The three of them joined forces and attacked the protective shield.
The three strong forces collided with the protective shield and a terrifying force tore it apart. Wei Huo’s golden runes carried the power of disintegration and destroyed the small layer of the protective shield.
A hole was finally torn in the barrier, but it started closing immediately. It seemed like the barrier could heal itself.
The group of people no longer hesitated. They immediately drilled in. After dozens of seconds, the protective shield healed itself.
Although they had entered the protective shield, they did not let their guard down. At the moment, their surroundings were still pitch-black. It seemed like they had to continue diving deeper.
Wei Huo asked Xiao Liang, “How did you identify this place as Atlantis when there is a protective shield?”
Xiao Liang said, “When I first arrived in the area, I was not sure whether this was Atlantis. However, after I hid here for over 10 days, I saw two people swim out of the protective shield.”
Everyone hurriedly asked what kind of people they were. Xiao Liang recalled and said, “They looked like humans but they could breathe underwater without any problems. They didn’t have fins, but they swam fast. They were also wearing ancient Egyptian clothes and holding weapons. Their weapons were ordinary tridents.”
Humans in the deep sea that could breathe underwater and swim freely? It was possible that they were in the legendary Atlantis.
Wei Huo said, “Let’s continue.”
The group nodded and continued diving deeper. It was still pitch-black around them, but the water flow was no longer rapid. From time to time, one or two gigantic jellyfish could be seen floating freely in the ocean. Occasionally, the jellyfish would collide with one another and separate again.
However, the jellyfish emitted all sorts of light, so the surroundings were no longer pitch-black. As they dived deeper, their surroundings became brighter. Soon, they saw a colorful world.
All sorts of jellyfish were floating around, emitting all sorts of colors. Most of the light was cold, but under its illumination, the deep sea world was decorated in an extremely colorful fashion.
Everyone was admiring the beautiful scenery. They were amazed. They had not expected to see such beautiful scenery there.
Xiao Liang took out the pressure detector and said, “The water pressure in this protective shield is completely different from the water pressure outside. We’re at least 10,000 meters deep here, but according to the water pressure detector, the pressure here is about the same as water pressure 500 meters deep.”
Wei Huo said, “This might be the function of the protective shield. Its purpose should be to protect the Atlanteans. Although adults can survive under high water pressure, newborns definitely can’t.”
Lu Qiqi asked, “Did the Atlanteans evolve into underwater humans? Or are they too powerful to be afraid of the deep sea?”
This question made everyone think deeply. Based on Xiao Liang’s description, the Atlanteans did not seem to have grown fish tails or gills. How could they survive under the sea? Could they be so powerful that they were Epic-ranked since birth? Was that why they were not afraid of this deep sea environment?
However, everyone continued diving. Soon, they left the group of jellyfish behind. Then, clouds appeared in front of them. Everyone was curious when they saw the clouds. Why were there clouds in the deep sea?
Just like the clouds in the sky, clouds appeared there as well. Large patches of clouds floated around, and the light emitted by various colored jellyfish shone on these clouds. This caused various colors to appear on the clouds, yet they did not seem beautiful. Instead, there was a weird atmosphere around.
After all, the clouds in the sky were formed by steam. What were the clouds in the deep sea made of?
The golden armor stepped forward boldly and stepped into a cloud. Moments later, it retreated. It was now holding a ball of silver-white liquid.
Everyone looked over and found it very familiar.
Xiao Liang frowned and said, “Is this... mercury?”
The golden armor said, “That’s right, it’s mercury. The clouds are not formed by steam but by mercury.”
Wei Huo said, “If the clouds here are formed by mercury, that means that the bottom of the sea is filled with mercury. How do the Atlanteans survive in such an environment? It seems like they have undergone evolution and become a different species of humans.”
Everyone continued diving. Soon, they smelled mercury in the sea. As Legendary creatures, mercury alone could not hurt them.
At that point, Wei Huo put away his trident and entered the bubble. The group was soaked in mercury steam.
They could not speak in the water, so they used telepathy.
The golden armor said, “The density of mercury is higher than the density of water, and it doesn’t dissolve in water either. When it falls into water, it will sink like water in the air and form a mercury pool. Besides, mercury will only boil at over 300 degrees. This means that the temperature below might be above 300 degrees.”
Upon seeing this, everyone was confused. What kind of place was down there?
