Wei Huo and the others continued diving. After passing through the clouds formed by mercury, they saw a scorching red dot below them. At the same time, the surrounding temperature started rising.

Upon looking at the red dot, everyone seemed to understand why these mercury clouds existed. The red dot was obviously a huge active volcano!

Xiao Liang said, “According to the rumors, the reason Atlantis sank was because of water and fire. Firstly, the sea level rose, and secondly, there was a volcano eruption. It seems like the rumors were right.”

As they continued diving, they finally saw the bottom of the sea. There was a group of volcanoes at the bottom. There was not just a single volcanic crater below, but thousands of volcanic craters. At the center of each volcano was a scarlet line that should be flowing magma.

From this height, one could see huge red dots and curved red lines. The red lines were very dense near the red dots, but the further away a red dot was, the thinner the red lines became.

Xiao Liang said, “A long time ago, when every household on Earth was brightly lit, the Earth looked just as bright from space.”

This was a scene that only Wei Huo and Xiao Liang had seen. Before the time halt, every household would switch on its electric lights at night. The street lamps along the street would also light up. At that moment, if one looked down from space, one would see countless lights densely covering the Earth. Urban areas were densely lit, and rural areas had scarce lights.

The golden armor understood and said, “I see. Is this the country of Atlantis? They live at the bottom of the sea, draw energy from the magma, and build cities near every volcano. Towns are near the volcanic craters, but villages are far away from the volcanic craters. They are also the ones to develop the magma flow.”

At that moment, Wei Huo and the others were still 10,000 meters away from the surface of the sea. However, they still needed to continue diving. There was a group of active volcanoes under their feet, and there was a large city around each volcano. They did not know where the capital of Atlantis was, so they could only find a random city and land there.

Wei Huo said, “According to Xiao Liang, the Atlanteans are no different from us. We can land in a village first to understand the situation. At the very least, we have to understand how they communicate.”

Everyone nodded. The bottom of the sea was different from land. Humans could not speak underwater. At the same time, there was magma everywhere. The bottom of the sea was definitely filled with all sorts of water vapor and bubbles. In such an environment, human eyes should not be able to see anything.

However, when they landed in a village dozens of kilometers away from a volcano, they realized that the truth was different than they’d thought.

Wei Huo and the others searched for a red line on the edge and descended. As they got lower, the temperature kept rising. At the same time, the amount of mercury steam increased. The temperature exceeded 100 degrees, and the water was filled with steam and bubbles. It was impossible to see anything with the naked eye.

The group of people closed their eyes and used their Divine Sense to look at things. However, when they landed below 1,000 meters, the situation suddenly changed. The water vapor disappeared, and air appeared. It was as if a huge bubble had covered the world around the magma.
