Revealing the Identity of the Wu Ming Ruins' Qi and Blood Puppet, Yuan Dynasty's Wolf Guards?! (Third Update)

Meanwhile, outside the stone gate of the Wu Ming Ruins, a large crowd had gathered. It included people from official organizations, outsiders at the Manifesting Strength level from civilian factions, and a dense mass of ordinary people.

Fortunately, the terrain resembled a sunken basin, with the ground primarily composed of hard stone and lacking many trees. There was quite a bit of grass, but it had been trampled flat by the thousands of people present, much like a sports field.

The elite official special forces team that had ventured in first emerged from the stone gate in a sorry state, dragging three Blood Qi Puppets bound by ropes. They had all sustained injuries while trying to capture these things, and more than half of them were incapacitated.

This caused gasps from the onlookers. Even the official elite special forces, clad in elite gear and armed with firearms, had returned wounded. It was evident how dangerous it was inside, and everyone immediately took out their phones to start filming.

The Wu Ming Ruins, which Gu Chen had brought to life from falsehood, was situated above an underground river. According to his design, mechanisms connected it to the river, and the cubical maze-like passages inside could utilize the power of the water flow. Periodically, the passages would shift, and the more people there were, and the stronger their power, the greater the magnetic field and radiation they emitted, attracting more powerful Blood Qi Puppets.

Clearly, the Blood Qi Puppets attracted by the official ten-person squad must have been Centurion-level, otherwise, they wouldn't have been in such a state.

The on-site medical team rushed forward to help, bandaging and treating the injured. The squad leader, pale-faced, reported their experience inside the ruins to the current official in charge, Major Chen.

"After we entered, we found the ruins filled with intersecting passages. Moreover, the passages inside shift periodically, returning to their original positions after every four shifts. After considerable effort, we captured these three Blood Qi Puppets. However, we then encountered an extremely powerful Blood Qi Puppet. Its body was incredibly tough, impervious to firearms, and it possessed immense strength, capable of sending someone flying and spitting blood with a single blow. In the end, we had to use a gun to create an opening in its body, insert a grenade into the wound, and only then did we manage to kill it. Its remains have also been collected..."

Upon hearing this perilous account, the official in charge, Major Chen, couldn't help but frown. The dangers within the Wu Ming Ruins were indeed beyond his expectations, especially these bizarre Blood Qi Puppets, which had caused considerable losses.

"Professor Zhang, Professor Sun, you are both renowned experts on the Central Continent. Do you believe you can research these strange Blood Qi Puppets and obtain results?!"

The two professors standing nearby, with their graying hair and receding hairlines, exchanged glances. Looking at the three immobilized Blood Qi Puppets bound by ropes on the ground, as well as the shattered remains of another, they wore expressions of disbelief.

One of them was a renowned expert in biology, and the other, a specialist in the history of the Great Ming. At this moment, they carefully examined the three Blood Qi Puppets and the fragmented remains on the ground.

After a considerable period of observation, the first professor, the biological expert, Professor Zhang, finally spoke in a deep voice.

"These Blood Qi Puppets are truly incredible. They don't breathe, nor do they have heartbeats, yet they can awaken and attack upon sensing the magnetic fields and auras emitted by humans. The wisdom of the ancients is astonishing. This defies current biological laws. It's a pity we don't have specialized experimental research equipment here; otherwise, we could attempt some studies."

Professor Sun, the history expert standing beside him, meticulously examined the physical characteristics of the Blood Qi Puppets, their animal skin armor, and the identification tags worn at their waists. He then spoke softly.

"Judging by the appearance of these Blood Qi Puppets, their braided hairstyles, and the style of their animal skin armor, they were likely soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty in life. The identification tags at their waists are soldier identification tokens, and they appear to be inscribed with 'Phags-pa script.' These are the most elite Wolf Guards of the Yuan Dynasty! And looking at the silver identification tag on the other puppet, which was blasted to pieces, this was a valiant Centurion. No wonder it was so strong..."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but gasp, their curiosity intensifying.

"Then why were these Yuan Dynasty Wolf Guards made into Blood Qi Puppets?!"

"Yes, isn't this place called the 'Wu Ming Ruins'? Why are the guardians of the ruins Yuan Dynasty Wolf Guards?!"

Hearing these questions, Professor Sun pointed to the foreheads of the three Blood Qi Puppets and explained, "From the character '囚' (prisoner) on their foreheads, we can see that these Wolf Guards who were refined into Blood Qi Puppets were prisoners. Connecting this with the name of the ruins, 'Wu Ming,' we can infer that the Yuan army was defeated, captured by the Great Ming, and then refined into Blood Qi Puppets through some incredible means to guard these Wu Ming Ruins..."
