The stone tree was only a part of the mysterious underwater world. They collected some stone tree seeds and started swimming upstream along the magma flow. As they kept moving forward, the surrounding temperature kept rising.
The group was curious about the mysterious underwater kingdom. Xiao Liang asked, "Do you think the Atlanteans will show us friendliness or malice if they discover us?"
The golden armor said, "I'm more curious about what kind of houses these Atlanteans live in and what level of science they have reached."
Lu Qiqi was confused as well. "What do they eat in such a place?"
As soon as she finished her sentence, there was some movement in the magma flow on one side. Then, a gigantic black bug jumped out of the magma and bit them.
However, everyone present was a Legendary creature. They were not afraid of this small bug at all. The first to attack was the Prime Minister Black Dragon. He stretched out a hand, and his arm turned into a black dragon claw. He grabbed the black bug with one claw. He wanted to crush the bug with all his might, but he had not expected the bug's shell to be so hard that it could not be crushed at all. The Prime Minister Black Dragon was the first to attack.
Information about the black bug appeared in Wei Huo and Lu Qiqi's eyes. Both of them could now connect to the system's big data to search for information.
Wei Huo introduced it. "This is a Magma Bug. It's a creature that lives in magma. Its shell is very hard!"
Everyone observed the Magma Bug curiously. Xiao Liang said, "Such a hard shell might be used to make biological armor."
Whenever they saw something, the first thing they would think about was what it could be used for.
Although the black bug had a hard shell, its spirit was too weak. An Epic-ranked creature could kill it with the imposing aura, let alone a Legendary-ranked creature.
Wei Huo and the others encountered many such bugs along the way. These bugs seemed to have no intelligence as they kept attacking Wei Huo and the others. As a result, they collected many of these bugs' shells.
They continued moving forward and soon saw smoke. This made them curious. Was that smoke produced by the Atlanteans cooking?
The golden armor was confused. "The average temperature here has reached 300 degrees. Is there a need to light a fire to cook at such a temperature?"
As for what was going on, they immediately understood. They sped up and soon, they saw a small village. Seeing this village, they felt quite shocked because this village was simply too strange.
There were some buildings in the village, but these buildings were built with magma. What was more exaggerated was that these buildings were built next to the magma flow, and there was a special device next to each building. This device guided the magma flow to the top of the building, and then the magma flowed along a strange pattern to every corner of the building.
These houses were like big steamed buns, with a dome at the top and a cylinder at the bottom. The magma was guided to the top and poured down, flowing in all directions of the houses before returning to the magma flow.
Wei Huo observed for a while and said, "This shouldn't be a house."
Wei Huo's guess was right. The few of them went forward and checked carefully. They realized that there was no furniture in the houses.
Some of these domed houses had large eggs that were more than 50 centimeters tall. Some of them had strange plants. One of the strangest houses had a few bright red fruits inside. The higher the temperature inside the house, the redder the fruits became.
Everyone had a weird feeling. Is this a warehouse?
Wei Huo said, "These items might need to be stored in a high-temperature environment. Why don't you study the technological content of this magma drainage device? Perhaps you can understand the technological level of the Atlanteans."
Xiao Liang and the golden armor came to a realization. They gathered together and studied the drainage device. The device was very small and looked like a teapot. The mouth of the teapot in front was longer and extended into the magma. The handle at the back extended all the way to the top of the roof. Then, the magma would be sucked into the teapot and flow out of the mouth above.
Everyone observed the drainage device and realized that it was weird.
The golden armor was confused. "That's weird. I didn't find the source of power for this device. How did it suck the magma up without power?"
Xiao Liang was confused as well. "The internal and external pressure of this device is the same. How did it suck the magma up without this pressure? This doesn't make sense. Stay away. "
In the end, the two of them concluded, "The technological content of this device is very high. It's so high that we can't understand its scientific principles."
The others were speechless.
Did the fact that the two of you could not understand mean that the technological content was higher?
Xiao Liang shook his head. "The physical principles I know are not applicable to this device. This is weird."
The golden armor said, "No matter how high-tech a device is, it has to follow basic physics. You have to do work to move something from a low place to a high place. You need to consume energy, but I can't see through this process."
Wei Huo said, "There are things that don't need to follow physical principles. You've ignored them."
The two of them asked, "What?"
Lu Qiqi replied, "It's a nomological creation. Only a nomological creation can violate the currently known scientific principles."
The group of people was shocked. The drainage device that could be seen everywhere was a nomological creation? Were the Atlanteans so luxurious?
The golden armor clicked its tongue. "These Atlanteans are strong. Could they have Rule-level experts?"
Wei Huo said, "Let's continue moving forward."
The group continued to move forward. The further they went upstream, the wider the magma river became. After walking for about four to five hours, the magma river was already seventy to eighty meters wide. At this time, they finally saw a small town.
The buildings in this town were very special. The foundation was directly in the magma, and the houses were no longer made of magma rock. Instead, they were made of a special metal. This metal was very strange. There was no color on the side close to the magma, but the side far away from the magma was red.
This was the opposite of their understanding of metals. Generally speaking, metals should be red at high temperatures and colorless at room temperature.
At that moment, Wei Huo and the others finally saw the three Atlanteans. They walked out of the metal house and boarded a small boat. Wei Huo and the others were familiar with the material of the boat, as it had been made of the shells of black insects.
