Chapter 115 Half a Day Has Passed
According to ancient legends, our ancestors were actually descendants of Atlantis, but because our homeland sank under the waves, our ancestors moved to all over the world. However, they never forgot their homeland, and about five thousand years ago, when the supernatural beings were flourishing, our ancestors finally found their homeland, Atlantis, which was sleeping in the vast ocean. "
"So you choose to return to this silent deep sea area?" Lu Yifang frowned slightly, with a mixture of doubt and amazement.
"This is the right choice." Namor's eyes swept across Lu Yifang, his tone calm but firm: "Although Atlantis has been destroyed, its legacy technology still exists. Thanks to this, my tribe prospered in the abyss and eventually became the master of the sea."
"This is not something that can be easily understood. You are land dwellers, and so were your ancestors. So why did you choose to live under the sea?" Bobby frowned and asked the question that shared the same confusion.
"Atlantis is protected by the dome left by our ancestors. It has been carved over the years, and mortals can be in it without any hindrance. As for the awakened ones, you can create x crystals, and I think you have also gained some insights into the x gene. We Atlanteans are the best manifestation of the x gene characteristics."
"So that's how it is." Lu Yifang nodded. The awakening of the x gene has always been to adapt to the environment and promote the evolution of the body. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Atlanteans living in the abyss have the ability to survive in the sea for many years.
As for what Namor said about his ancestors, based on past revelations, if Lu Yifang’s guess is correct, it is the abnormal civilization that was exterminated by the gods in the past.
"Now that your questions are answered, it's my turn to ask questions. I want to know the benefits of x-crystal and its side effects..." After exchanging information, Lu Yifang also began to introduce the matter of x-crystal to Namor.
In a flash, half a day had passed. Namor created a current to speed up, and the speeding submarine finally reached the area of Atlantis.
This sea area may seem ordinary, but it actually hides a prosperous underwater world. Humans boast of conquering the sea, but in fact they have only scratched the surface. The deep sea has mysteries that humans have never touched. The Atlanteans, who have spent thousands of years and have traveled all over the oceans, are the true masters of the ocean.
"When will we get there?" John asked with a pale face. He was not afraid of diving, but was suffocated in the deep sea. A fireman like him, being at the bottom of the ocean, was in unspeakable pain, not to mention the ridicule of his friend Bobby, who was very unhappy and even whistled. How hateful!
"We are here now, welcome to Atlantis!" Namor said, and the trident shook, and something strange happened in the dark seabed.
Star-like points of light emerged, as if swaying in the Milky Way. In addition to these "tiny stars", there were also moon-like light balls rising from the mud and sand, divided into two rows, illuminating the long road on the seabed and leading straight to the sky.
"The light spots are luminous jellyfish. There are so many of them on the seabed. The big light ball seems to be the light of a lantern fish." Everyone stared at the lantern fish as big as a car, all dumbfounded. Even John temporarily forgot his discomfort.
Wei Namo frowned slightly. Normally, the guards should have come out to greet them. Soon, the abnormality became more obvious. The light of the lantern fish turned red, and the sea water was dyed red with blood. It can be seen that many lantern fish have scars, and there are even more huge corpses on the seabed.
"What happened?" Lu Yifang and his party finally felt something was wrong. There seemed to be traces of recent fighting here.
"The sea beasts in this sea area are ferocious in nature. They occasionally invaded Atlantis and were immediately killed. Now they are gathering on such a large scale, which is really abnormal. They are not of the same kind and should not be like this." Namor's face was heavy.
"Is it controlled by someone? Is Atlantis encountering an enemy?" Lu Yifang asked tentatively.
"It's impossible." Namor flatly denied Lu Yifang's speculation. "My people have lived in the sea for a long time. Apart from the deep-sea monsters, we are the only intelligent creatures in the sea.
After he finished speaking, the leading guard suddenly turned back, carrying a wounded man on his back.
Namor saw this and immediately ordered the submarine's door to be opened. Under the high pressure in the deep sea, opening the door would easily cause seawater to rush in and the submarine might be destroyed. But Namor was the king of the sea, and with the help of the trident, it was easy for him to create a waterless area.
After taking the injured man and seeing that he was still alive, Namo felt relieved and asked anxiously, "I know you, the patrol captain. Tell me what happened?"
"My Lord, you are back..." The seriously injured Atlantean raised his eyes weakly, and a ray of light finally appeared in his terrified eyes. "I met a woman, she..."
"How is she? Did she attack you? What's the current situation of Atlantis?" Namor wanted to ask in detail, but found that the man's eyes were dim, his body shriveled quickly, and instantly turned into lifeless bones.
As we sneaked along the Dragon Palace, we soon saw a bright light ahead. Under the oppression of the deep sea, the light was like a morning star, illuminating the small sea area around it.
This place is the legendary underwater kingdom of Atlantis, Namor's underwater wonderland. As he got closer, Lu Yifang saw a magnificent palace covered by a huge dome, the structure of which was both magnificent and unique.
However, the transparent dome that could block the ocean did not hinder the progress of the Dragon Palace, and it passed through easily.
Once inside, Lu Yifang realized that the dome was actually divided into two layers. The pressure gauge showed that after passing through the first layer, the sea water pressure dropped sharply. In this world, more remains came into view, mostly belonging to sea beasts, and some were the bodies of Atlantis warriors.
Those remains, as seen before, were all turned into dry bones. Namor touched them with his fingertips and they turned into dust in an instant, which undoubtedly showed that Atlantis had been invaded and its glory was gone.
"Boom!" The Dragon Palace broke into the secondary dome, the sea water disappeared without a trace, and the Dragon Palace, which had lost its buoyancy, fell straight to the ground. Everyone walked out and set foot on the land of Atlantis for the first time.
However, at this time, Atlantis did not have a grand welcome, nor did it have the devastation after the war. The entire capital was unusually quiet, and not a single sound could be heard in the vast space, like an empty dead city.
As the group stepped onto the street, they saw many citizens of Atlantis kneeling on the ground with empty eyes, all heading towards the direction of the imperial city.
"Wake up!" Namor walked towards a man and forced him to stand up, wanting to find out what was going on. However, the man seemed to have lost his soul and was unmoved. As soon as Namor let go, the man knelt down again, mumbling.
Namor listened attentively, and then he realized that the man was muttering repeatedly: "My king... has returned!"
"I am the king of Atlantis!" Namor said sternly, but the man was unaware and just looked devoutly in the direction of the imperial city.
"They seem to be controlled by some kind of will." Lu Yifang's expression was solemn. One person could cause the entire city to lose their minds. His ability was self-evident.
Namo heard this and his face became more serious, worrying about the safety of his family. When he rushed into the imperial city, he saw his mother, wife, and sister kneeling on the ground in a daze, their eyes all pointed to the same corner.
"That person's target is not the Imperial City?" Namor was relieved at first, but then he became even more confused. When he followed the direction of his relatives, his face changed drastically.
"Damn it, I get it, the target is Paradise!" Before he finished speaking, Namor had already leaped forward and sped away.
"Paradise, what kind of place is that?" Lu Yifang followed closely after hearing this, feeling heavy in his heart. As a Level 5 mutant, he had sensed the aura of his kind, and the sense of oppression was even beyond the apocalypse. If they had not locked onto each other instantly, he would never have been willing to face an unknown powerful enemy head-on without any preparation.
"That is the resting place of our ancestors." Namor answered briefly while running quickly, his expression anxious. It was obvious that the mausoleum was not ordinary.
After passing through the imperial city and behind the palace, a quiet cemetery appears before your eyes.
"This tomb contains the first generation of ancestors. Only the royal family and those who have made outstanding contributions to Atlantis can accompany the ancestors after death." Namor looked around, as if looking for traces of the invaders.
In a short while, the target appeared - in the center of the cemetery, there was a mysterious figure in a black robe and a hood, looking a bit like a witch.
