Superbase Evolution

Chapter 372 Turtle Skeleton
The three of them were already prepared for a fight, but despite the loud noise, the coral turtle didn't react at all. It was probably really dead.

After the weapon was pulled out, it was directly taken to the sky by the black-armored centipede. No liquid flowed out of the hole where the weapon was originally inserted.

Many of the coral-like mutant plants around were blown to pieces, and the area looked a bit bare.

"What kind of weapon is this?" Lin Shen looked at the purple-red weapon being dragged by the black-armored centipede, and he couldn't recognize what kind of weapon it was.

I originally thought it was a weapon like a sword, but it turned out not to be. Instead, it looked a bit like a mace, but mace bodies are usually square in shape, while this thing looked like a thin stick made of bamboo joints, pointed at the front and thick at the back.

The thick part at the back is a little thinner than an egg, and the front end is as thin as the tip of a gun. It is about four feet long and purple-red all over, like jade or crystal.

"Whip." said Wei Wufu.

"You said this is a whip? Does a whip look like this?" Lin Shen reached out and grabbed the handle. It felt hefty, but not particularly heavy. It was lighter than he had imagined.

"Hard whip." Wei Wufu said again.

Ouyang Yudu explained: "Whips can be hard or soft. Horse whips and nine-section whips are soft whips, and this is a hard whip. In mythology, Jiang Ziya's magic whip is a hard whip that can be used to hit people directly."

After a pause, Ouyang Yudu continued, "I didn't see any spirit inside. This doesn't seem to be a spirit base. It should be a man-made weapon. I don't know what material it is made of."

Lin Shen handed the weapon in his hand to Ouyang Yudu, while he himself looked at the coral turtle below.

The coral turtle has not reacted at all so far, it must be dead.

Lin Shen's eyes swept across the place where he had just pulled out the weapon, and he was slightly startled. Among those mutated plants that were blown up, a skeleton was revealed.

"There is a skeleton down there. I'll go down and take a look." Lin Shen retracted the shell on his body to avoid causing an explosion and damaging the skeleton.

He landed next to the skeleton and found many coral-like plants growing in the middle of the skeleton. It was estimated that these coral-like plants had originally wrapped the skeleton. If the explosion had not blown up the corals, the skeleton would have been completely absorbed by the plants in some time.

The broken plants on the skeleton were pushed aside, but the collision between the plant fragments did not cause an explosion.

It was a little different from what Lin Shen thought. The skeleton did not seem to be decayed and was very complete. The bones were all connected and did not appear to be falling apart.

After removing the fragments and debris, the entire skeleton looked like white jade, and the joints were crystal clear, like beef tendons.

"This is the corpse of a person who has attained Nirvana." Ouyang Yudu and Wei Wufu also came down, and Ouyang Yudu said while looking at the corpse.

"You said that this dead guy is a Nirvana?" Lin Shen was a little surprised.

Ouyang Yudu reached out and touched the white jade-like bones, nodded and said: "This situation will not happen to carbon-based life after death. Even for those who ascend, their bodies will decay after death, but the decay will be slower. Only after the Nirvana has gone through the process of Nirvana rebirth, the body is already between carbon-based life and base-mutated life, and has both characteristics. Only then will such Nirvana bones be left after death."

"Is this thing useful?" Lin Shen's eyes lit up.

The remains of those who have attained Nirvana might themselves be good things.

"It can be used as a material. Generally speaking, the hardness of Nirvana's skeleton is quite high, but its toughness is not good. It can't be used for casting. It can only be polished and carved. It's not very useful." Ouyang Yudu said, pointing to the head of Nirvana's skeleton and said: "You can take a look inside his skull. There may be Nirvana embers. That thing is very useful." Lin Shen looked into the skull from the eye sockets, and asked as he looked: "What is the use of Nirvana embers? What does it look like?"

"Nirvana embers can be considered the life essence of the Nirvana. Generally, after death, the Nirvana power in the body will be naturally released and return to the universe. However, there are some special cases where the Nirvana power cannot be fully released and will condense into ashes in a certain part of the body. These ashes contain the Nirvana power, which is the so-called Nirvana embers. Generally speaking, the shape of Nirvana ashes is irregular. But it is relatively easy to distinguish. If you see a substance that looks like sand grains stuck together and emits a faint light, it is usually Nirvana ashes."

Ouyang Yudu continued: "For carbon-based creatures who have achieved nirvana, if there are any nirvana ashes, most of them will be in their heads."

After hearing what Ouyang Yu said, Lin Shen was suddenly disappointed. The skull of this Nirvana was dark inside, with some black ash like coal ash, and there was nothing glowing.

"Nirvana ashes are only found after the death of a few creatures that have achieved Nirvana. It's normal if they don't have any." Ouyang Yudu smiled and said, "Compared to this, the corpse of the coral turtle is the real treasure. If it was killed before achieving Nirvana, then it might still have spiritual foundations left in its body."

“Will the spiritual base of those who have attained Nirvana not remain?” Lin Shen picked up a petrified coral branch and inserted it into his eye socket, trying to push away the black death and see if there were any ashes of Nirvana hidden underneath.

"The life base of a Nirvana already possesses intelligence. If it does not die in battle with its master, it may leave on its own, or guard its master's body and become a guardian spirit. In this situation, his life base was either destroyed in the battle or he has already left." Ouyang Yudu handed the weapon in his hand to Wei Wufu.

After Lin Shen poked it a few times, he suddenly found a faint light in the black ash, as if there was really something there.

"There is something!" Lin Shen was overjoyed and worked even harder to push away the black ash. He felt the coral branch in his hand touched something round and slightly slippery.

Soon, a black coal-like thing was pulled out by Lin Shen.

This thing is about the size of a glass marble, covered in black ash on the outside, with a hint of purple-red fluorescence occasionally showing through the exposed parts.

Lin Shen took out a water bag and poured water on the coal balls to wash away the black ash on them.

After the black ash was washed away, the glass bead-like thing suddenly revealed its true appearance.

It was a purple-red bead with a honeycomb-like structure inside. Each honeycomb was filled with purple-red fluorescence, like a mini reactor.

"Ashes of Reincarnation..." Seeing this thing, Wei Wufu and Ouyang Yu were both shocked and shouted in unison.

Wei Wufu even spoke fluently, uttering four words in one breath without any pause.

　Title: The Great Emperor
　　Introduction: Mountain and sea world, primitive tribe.

　　Once Feng Wuji awakened to the memory of his past life, a mysterious turtle shell appeared in his consciousness.

　　The treasures of bone inscriptions, collected through turtle shells, can condense the true inscriptions of the great avenue.

　　From then on, he had the capital to navigate this vast wilderness.
