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.
