I, Stone Golem, only want to forge.

Chapter 80 Giant Beast Corpse

Murphy, on the other hand, was a cheerful stone man; after all, he had already done it, and he hadn't lost anything.

As for data collection, it only requires adding one more step: changing the data collection from the water core to the data collection from the movement of the entire ship, and then recalculating it slightly.

Adding one or two more formulas at most wouldn't be a big deal.

Murphy is now primarily interested in another issue.

This is what Diaz just mentioned about hand exercises.

Although this thing is simple, it can be divided into many aspects in practice, such as the most basic control of sails, or more advanced control of elements and magic.

It originally thought this operation was done through methods such as manipulating elements via a water core.

But now it seems that it's probably not that advanced.

So it still needs to confirm which method of control is used on the ship.

How is the boat controlled?

Diaz hesitated for a long time when Murphy asked him this question, but his gaze finally fell on the small model. In the end, he gritted his teeth and decided to tell the truth.

"Well, how should I put it... just follow me, you'll see when we get there."

After he finished speaking, he took another step forward.

Murphy and Siri followed closely behind, and then the two of them came to a wall.

"Is this a hidden door?" Sri asked.

Diaz nodded, then gently placed his hand on the wall.

Then, a hole suddenly appeared in the previously smooth wall.

It appeared out of nowhere, like a wound inflicted by a long sword.

"It's right here, come in with me."

Diaz took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it with two quick clicks, and then, holding the lighter, went into the dark room first.

Although it's called a dark room, it's more like a passageway used for maintenance and repair on this ship.

You can even see magic circles made of runes, and all sorts of parts and components.

However, before he had taken two steps, Sri suddenly sensed something, abruptly turned around, and quickly took two steps into the distance.

Then he reached into the darkness and groped around, then said with a hint of surprise:

"Is this a bone? Is it the carcass of some kind of sea monster?"

Diaz walked over, and the distant firelight gradually drew closer, illuminating the bone on which Siri's hand was resting.

This single bone segment is over 3 meters wide.

"Several ships near us are basically made from the bones of sea monsters, and these sea monsters' consciousnesses are attached to these bones."

By resonating with this consciousness, one can control the ship to a certain extent.

As Diaz spoke, he reached out and tapped the bone, then crouched down slightly and placed the firelight in the gap between the bone and the wooden board.

He pointed with his finger and then explained.

"Underneath this wooden board are some runes and magic arrays, used to connect the water core and some kind of power system and weapon system."

"What are the remains of sea monsters?"

Murphy found the thing both strange and familiar.

In some ways, the spider system it created seems similar to this thing.

They all involve modifying a corpse and turning it into something else.

However, since it killed itself, they don't know where the remains were dug up from.

"When we talk about marine mammals here, we specifically refer to those marine creatures that are at least 20 meters long and have a relatively docile temperament."

"Isn't there a mountain range next to the Kulun River? That mountain range seems to have been a sea before, and there are many skeletons of these sea monsters in it."

"This layer of paint must be a magic-suppressing stone."

Siri examined the bone again and indeed discovered something unusual about it.

No wonder he said he didn't find the bone when he was sweeping the ship.

Something was definitely not right.

"Yes, because the carcasses of sea monsters emit an aura that constantly attracts other marine life, which can affect navigation."

We can only paint most areas with anti-magic stone paint, leaving only a small portion for connecting systems of different purposes.

Diaz nodded and explained again.

However, while they were explaining and answering questions, Murphy had already started chatting with the owner of the remains.

"Hello there."

"Not very good." The giant beast's corpse actually responded to it.

The requirements for using Murphy's telepathy are actually not many.

But it's not that it doesn't exist.

One of the rather strange requirements is that Murphy can only communicate with living things, but what constitutes a living thing is up to Murphy to decide.

In other words, if Murphy believes a creature is alive and intelligent, then Murphy can communicate with it.

Conversely, if a creature can speak, but Murphy believes that thing is dead, then Murphy also cannot communicate with it.

Just like this giant beast's corpse.

Murphy didn't know the thing was alive, nor did he know it could talk, so they couldn't communicate.

And what Diaz just said.

Murphy suddenly realized that the thing wasn't completely dead, so he asked it a question, and they were actually able to have a conversation.

"Are you dead?" Murphy asked.

The giant beast's corpse remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a very helpless sentence.

"Are you here to cause trouble?"

"So why is there still consciousness in your bones even after you're dead?"

Murphy ignored him and continued to press for an answer.

"A remnant soul! We beings who primarily cultivate our bodies have already integrated our souls into our bodies, so even after death, our souls will remain attached to our bodies, especially within our bones."

This thing can make you live a little longer, but it's meaningless. If you're just a remnant soul, you can't grow flesh and blood back. I don't know who came up with this despicable method. If you're going to die, just die properly.

Now I'm half-dead, wanting to die but unable to, wanting to live but unable to, all I can do is watch a few idiots babbling at me every day, telling me to drive left or right.

The giant beast was also bored, and since it was so rare to have someone to listen to it, it started babbling on and on at a rapid pace.

After he finished speaking, the giant beast realized why this person could communicate with it so smoothly.

Even before it died, few people could communicate with it.

When you die, no one will say anything to your bones.

"How can you talk to me? Are you human? Or an elf or something?"

In its memory, these two adorable little creatures, although some of them were mischievous and would breathe on it or poke it occasionally, were quite intelligent, and some of them could understand what it was saying.

"I am a stone man."

"The Stone Man..."

The giant beast said with a sudden realization, then added with some confusion.

"What is a stone man?"

"A creature made of stone."

The behemoth finally understood: "Oh, I see! I've seen those cute little creatures at the bottom of the sea too!"

There are also mountain cores in the seabed, so there are naturally stone people there as well.

To be precise, these stone golems are like stray dogs on the roadside; they're everywhere.

Or rather, they are actually more widely distributed than stray dogs.

Wherever life can arise, there is a high probability that there will be mountain cores and stone people.

"Um...aren't stone golems all dumb? Why can you talk to me?"

The sea creature asked bluntly.
