Along with the violent spasms and twitches of my body, I felt that the last trace of air in my lungs was occupied by the cold liquid. Only the air was coming in and no air was coming out... There was a sense of blank chaos spreading from the center of my eyebrows. Come on, after the extreme pain, I now felt a sense of relief and relief... In the last few seconds, I carefully felt the numbness spreading to my limbs and to my fingertips.
I am dead? Drowned in a fishbowl-like helmet?
I couldn't feel my body. I couldn't move my fingers even if I tried hard, but my consciousness didn't disappear. Instead, it became clearer. I saw the high priest squatting down in front of me.
"It seems that this Yuanchu man still has a long way to go before he is fully awakened..."
Everyone surrounded me, motionless, and they were all observing my condition. At this time, I was in a very strange situation. I couldn't feel my breathing. My body felt like it weighed a thousand kilograms and I couldn't move even an inch. It was full of water and I couldn't say a word.
"It's almost time, Yuanchu people, can you move?"
After looking at the high priest for a long time, he spoke again. I tried to move my body. Although it was still very difficult, my fingers could move! I concentrated on the movable finger and gradually expanded the range of movement... Those numb feelings finally faded away little by little, and I could move again!
"What kind of liquid is this?" I couldn't speak, so I used my consciousness to diffuse the sound.
"Fortunately, I asked, otherwise I would have been in big trouble if I just took the Yuanchu people into the pressure pool. The Yuanchu people don't know how to use water at all! The transformation process also looks very painful... Could it be that... In that dimension, wouldn’t the viviparous humanoids know how to drink water?”
"Humanoid..." I thought about it secretly, and then I understood what the high priest meant. Humanoid should be people similar to the people in the early Yuan Dynasty, what we call in that dimension - human beings.
"There are people who can swim, but I can't..."
"I don't understand... People from the early Yuan Dynasty, don't the viviparous humanoids have water in their wombs? Why is there such a difference?"
Regarding this issue, I, a high school science student, know the reason! "You should be talking about the amniotic fluid in the mother's body. When the fetus is in the womb, they don't breathe through the nose and mouth, so they won't choke.
They develop and grow surrounded by amniotic fluid, but their lungs are not fully developed.
Unlike adult lungs, fetal lungs are filled with amniotic fluid and do not expand, nor do they contract and expand like normal people do when breathing.
Breathing during the fetal period depends entirely on oxygen obtained from the placenta through the blood.
"
I think my high school biology teacher would be very pleased to know that I haven’t forgotten the knowledge he gave me in this other world... If there weren’t so many messy things, maybe I would be sitting in the university class now. , blow the air conditioner, and play games instead of experiencing so many inhuman tortures in this other world...
"Humanoids have actually degraded to this extent..." the high priest muttered to himself, walked to the entrance of the passage, and urged the pilots to jump into the pressure pool under the slide.
"You guys go down first. I'm worried that the Yuanchu people won't be able to regulate the pressure. I'll go down with him."
"People from the early Yuan Dynasty, if you go into the water for a while, you don't have to worry about breathing at all. These liquids wrap around your entire respiratory system and will circulate by themselves. You only need to do one thing, which is to follow me closely. There is no difference between the sea and the land. Likewise, if you don't pay attention, you may be swept away by the undercurrent, making it difficult to find it."
I nodded, and then slid down with the high priest. This was a very long rotating pipe. We kept paddling down, and finally stopped in the air and fell into the water.
There were green light pillars around the pool for lighting. I grabbed the cane handed to me by the high priest, and he dragged me forward in the water. The structure inside the pool was very special, with each link interlocking with each other. I seemed to understand this pool. The structure is up! I secretly praised the people of Atlan for using such a simple principle to solve the complex pressure problem.
We walked around and around the pressure pool. As soon as we got out, a force kept sucking me up. I didn't expect the sudden suction. I almost lost my hand holding the cane. Next to me, A driver saw this and hugged me quickly, so that I didn't get too far away from the team.
A pilot quickly took off his equipment, put it on me, and pressed a button. In an instant, the spacesuit-like equipment was filled with liquid, and the buoyancy that pushed me upward was much smaller. .
I was looking at the pilot next to me who was giving me his equipment. The top of his head was covered with fins that stood up all the way to his tailbone! The five slender fingers also have transparent webs glowing with mica in the middle! The ears were very similar to those of the high priest, like two clam shells opening and closing. I looked down, but I didn’t see the huge and beautiful mermaid tail I imagined. I couldn’t help but feel a little disappointed. His legs were not long and there was no flash. The tail with glowing scales looked like two eels, rolling in the water... He swam to the front, and I saw that where his big arms were connected to his torso, there were also folded fins. Similarly, his eyes It is also very small, with almost no bridge of the nose and only two holes, which proves that among the facial features, the nose exists.
I suppressed the surprise in my heart, tried my best to restrain my curious eyes when looking at others, and held on to the high priest's cane, never daring to let go. This cane lit up a guiding light in this dark sea. The surrounding drivers were all swimming along according to the guidance of the light, not knowing whether they were going up or to the deeper seabed...
We didn't stop swimming until another light spot appeared in front of us and came up to us. I am now very disappointed with the legendary Atlantis. Not only are there no mermaids, but it is also pitch black everywhere. Out of sight! Could this light spot be the person coming to pick us up with another staff? I wonder if the technology of the Atlan people is quite advanced. Why don't they build an undersea vehicle? Do they have to travel by themselves all the way? Until the light is right in front of me, I want to take back all my previous complaints about Atlan!
This is more amazing than underwater submarines or underwater motorcycles!
There was a small spot of light in front of him, a huge and ugly deep-sea beast! The light spot is completely out of proportion to its huge body, just like King Kong holding a flashlight. The light spot is born from the middle of the giant beast's eyebrows. There is no light in the deep sea, but if you see light in the deep sea, millions of people will see it. Don't come near! When you get close to the light source, you will find that behind the small light spot are densely packed jagged teeth! This behemoth of the deep sea must have eaten so many small animals in the deep sea with this deceptive little spot of light... Seeing his huge size, I felt that I couldn't even squeeze enough holes in his teeth... .
The old priest took the first step, grabbed the pigtail on the top of the giant beast's head and stepped on its back. Although I had an irresistible fear of the giant beast, I was pulled up by the high priest and sat down. We sat on his back. It is very stable in the gaps between those huge spikes. After everyone sat on it, the giant beast swung its tail and began to continue taking us through the deep sea...
Gradually, my eyes adapted to the liquid and the dim light in the deep sea. The deep sea was not a void. Just like on the ground, there were hills, peaks, and ores. I saw giant beasts swimming across a path. In the ravine, there are many shining ores, which are extremely bright.
"Can you control all the animals on the seabed?" I asked the old priest.
"We are not manipulating, but communicating. Even though their appearances are very different, they are all the people of Atlan."
"Then you have already started living in the sea while you are on earth?"
"It's not that... we used to live on land, but we were surrounded by the sea. When the great flood came, all the land in Atlan was swallowed up by the sea in one day and one night. Those who followed the advice of the early Yuan Dynasty people , built a boat in advance and escaped, and the rest followed the magnificent palace and soaked in the sea water."
"Noah's Ark?!"
The high priest shook his head in confusion, "I don't know what happened behind those Atlan people who got on the boat... We don't record the names of those boats in the history of Atlan."
"Those ships? More than one?"
"certainly!"
At this time, the giant beast began to climb a mountain on the seabed. We all hugged the spikes on its dorsal fin to ensure that we did not leave its body. If such a mountain were on land, it would be very difficult to climb to the top. But in the sea, with the help of water, the speed is much faster.
Seeing that they were about to reach the top, the speed of the giant beast gradually slowed down.
"People from the early Yuan Dynasty, welcome to Atlan."
Behind the mountain is a completely different scene!
In the hills that appeared now, there was a circular square in the middle, with a 100-meter-high spar standing on it. This spar had countless cut surfaces, facing in all directions, reflecting its own light to every corner here! In the square, there are all kinds of creatures of different shapes walking around. With the garden as the center, directly behind it is a magnificent palace. The front corridor of the palace is supported by a row of stone pillars. There are purple and gold colors in the palace. The light radiates out, appearing sacred and majestic.
With the crystal in the middle as the central axis, and symmetrical on the left and right, there are various statues, fountains, and even flower beds and lawns! The lawn should be paved with some kind of moss, and the colorful flowers are the large corals I once saw in the spiritual realm!
Is this the mysterious underwater world of Atlan? !
"Enter Yuanchu people, come down quickly, the sea beast can only send us here."
If the high priest hadn't patted me gently, I would still be holding on to the dorsal fin of the sea beast in a daze! The scene in front of me was so dreamy, it made me feel like I was in a dream. There really is such a glorious underwater palace in the world!
