Superbase Evolution

Chapter 374: Undersea Ancient City
Lin Shen searched around again, but found nothing useful except the Nirvana skeleton.

The life foundation of the Nirvana is probably destroyed or has run away, but for some reason, the properties of that man-made whip seem to be somewhat similar to that of the Ashes of Samsara.

Wei Wufu wanted to return the purple-red whip to Lin Shen who found it, but Lin Shen refused to take it because he had too many things in his package.

With the several spiritual bases given by Tianxun, plus the mace and the sword of the archangel, Lin Shen is now very careful when flying, for fear that they might collide with each other.

Fortunately, they had been processed before coming here. They were wrapped with something that would not collide or explode. As long as the wrapping is not rotten, there will be no problem.

"How about we dig up the coral turtle and see if there is any spiritual base inside?" Lin Shen said as he looked at the coral turtle under his feet.

These coral-like plants themselves will not explode, but the turtle corpses underneath will explode. If they really want to dig them up, I am afraid that the shockwaves of the explosion may very likely attract Freyra and the others.

"If we dig from above, there will definitely be a huge explosion. Besides, if we dig too quickly for such a large corpse, the explosion will be too severe. If we dig too slowly, we don't know how long it will take to dig. We can only dig from underwater, so that we can dig in quickly and avoid an explosion." Ouyang Yudu suggested.

"Then let's start digging underwater. However, Lao Wei and I are not very good at swimming, so we can only trouble you to go down and find a suitable place to dig." Lin Shen said helplessly.

"Okay, hold it for me first." Ouyang Yudu handed the Jade Bone Demon Umbrella to Lin Shen. When he was about to go into the water, he was stopped by Lin Shen.

"Take this. In case you encounter anything down there, you'll have a weapon to use." Lin Shen handed the Sword of Archangel to Ouyang Yudu.

Ouyang Yudu did not refuse. Among the three of them, only Lin Shen had various spiritual foundations. Ouyang Yudu and Lao Wei were relatively poor.

Ouyang Yudu bit the Archangel's sword and plunged directly into the water. He disappeared for a long time and there was no movement.

Lin Shen and Wei Wufu were watching from above, but they hated that they couldn't get in touch with Ouyang Yudu who was underwater, so they could only stare blankly.

Ouyang Yudu is pretty good at swimming, but Lin Shen and Wei Wufu are really not that good.

Although you won't drown in the water, it's really impossible to do any technical work in the water.

After a while, Ouyang Yudu emerged from the water with the Archangel's sword in his mouth.

"How is it?" Lin Shen asked hurriedly.

"I guess it has no spiritual base. There is a big hole in the turtle's abdomen, and the inside is almost hollowed out." Ouyang Yudu shook off the flames on his body and took out the Archangel's Sword from his mouth.

"Someone had discovered this coral turtle before us, so why didn't they take the purple whip and Nirvana skeleton away?" Lin Shen was a little disappointed, but also felt a little strange.

Theoretically speaking, the people who came before even hollowed out the inside of the coral turtle, so how could they not take a look at the purple whip and the skeleton?

Ouyang Yudu said: "I guess that the person who dug out the coral turtle's body was the person who died on the turtle's back."

"Isn't this possible? If he dug out the coral turtle's body, how could he die on its back? Who killed him?" Lin Shen felt that Ouyang Yudu's guess was a little unreasonable. "I don't know, but I found that the coral turtle's body was locked by several chains, and the chains extended deep into the seabed. I dived nearly a thousand meters and didn't find the end of the chain, so I came up first." Ouyang Yudu said: "I suspect that this Nirvana did not die because of the battle with the coral turtle. There may be something wrong down there."

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Shen and Wei Wufu were both very curious.

Unfortunately, Wei Wufu’s swimming ability is too poor. Although he can hold his breath, the time he can hold his breath is limited. He is not like Lin Shen who can hold his breath forever without breathing.

Finally, they decided that Wei Wufu would wait there first, while Lin Shen and Ouyang Yu went into the water to see what was locking up the coral turtle.

After entering the water, Lin Shen discovered that the water below was clearer than it looked from the outside. The turbidity on the water surface was most likely caused by the reddish-brown soil on Mars that fell into the sea of fire but could not sink and dissolved in the liquid near the water surface.

Lin Shen took out a luminous flower and illuminated the underwater area directly. Under the colorful light, he immediately saw huge chains running through the coral turtle's shell in its belly. All the chains led to the deep seabed, and the bottom was completely invisible.

After all, the light of the luminous flower has a limited irradiation distance. Coupled with the obstruction of the fire liquid, the range that can be seen is probably only about ten meters.

Lin Shen climbed down grabbing a chain, while Ouyang Yudu swam down beside Lin Shen, holding the Archangel's Sword in his mouth.

Although Lin Shen was not good at swimming, he was still strong enough. He grabbed the chain with both hands and climbed down quickly, and his speed was quite fast.

The further he climbed, the clearer the flame liquid became, and the farther the light of the luminous flower could shine.

After diving for three or four thousand meters, the chain still did not reach the end.

However, at this time, the sea of fire had become so clear that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, and they could see very far away in the fire liquid.

Under the illumination of the luminous flowers, Lin Shen and Ouyang Yu both saw an astonishing sight.

Deeper under the sea, there is actually an ancient city. The chain that locks the coral turtle extends all the way into the ancient city.

The ancient city is not large, it is square, with a side length of about two to three kilometers. However, in the ancient city, there are all kinds of pavilions and towers, and it looks like it should have been an extremely prosperous city.

But now the ancient city is all covered with gray things. It looks gray and gloomy, as if it is covered by volcanic ash, or covered with dark gray moss.

The ancient city is located on the seabed, but next to the seabed, there is a deeper trench. It is better to say that the ancient city is on a cliff on the seabed than to say that it is on the seabed. It is unknown how deep it is below the cliff.

Lin Shen and Ouyang Yu looked at each other, and Ouyang Yu nodded. He took the Archangel's Sword in his mouth and activated it. Then he let the Archangel's Sword fly towards the ancient city nearly a thousand meters below.

The Sword of the Archangel flew close to the ancient city and circled over it several times, but did not find anything unusual. The two then continued to swim towards the ancient city on the underwater cliff.

As we got closer to the ancient city, the light of the luminous flowers made the ancient city clearer and clearer. We could see the chains on the coral turtle connecting the eight corners of the ancient city. There was a statue of an ancient beast on the wall of each corner, and the other end of the chain was tied to the neck of the ancient beast statue.
