Exposing the Identity of the Wu Ming Ruins' Blood Qi Puppets: Wolf Guards of the Yuan Dynasty?!

Meanwhile, just outside the stone gates of the Wu Ming Ruins, a massive crowd had gathered densely, consisting of official personnel, Manifesting Strength-level outsiders from the Civilian Faction, and throngs of ordinary people.

Fortunately, the terrain resembled a depressed basin, and the ground was mainly composed of hard stone with few trees. There were plenty of weeds, but having been trampled by over a thousand people on the scene, the ground had long since flattened out like a sports field.

The official elite special operations forces who had gone in to explore first walked out of the stone gates in a sorry state, dragging three Blood Qi Puppets bound by ropes. To capture these things, every one of them carried injuries, and more than half had lost their combat effectiveness.

This caused a gasp of shock to ripple through the crowd. Seeing that even the heavily armed official elite special operations forces, equipped with firearms, had returned injured, one could imagine the dangers within. They hurriedly pulled out their cell phones and began filming.

The Wu Ming Ruins that Gu Chen Refined Falsehood Into Truth with were located above an underground river. According to his setup, mechanisms inside were connected to the river, and the passages were designed like a Rubik's Cube. Therefore, utilizing the power of the water's movement, the passages would transform every once in a while. The greater the number of people and the stronger their strength, the stronger the magnetic field and radiation they emitted, and the stronger the Blood Qi Puppets it could attract.

Clearly, the Blood Qi Puppets attracted by the official ten-man squad were definitely at the Centurion level; otherwise, they would not have been in such a battered state.

Upon seeing this, the on-site medical team hurriedly went up to help, bandaging and treating the wounded, while the squad leader, with a pale face, reported their experiences inside the ruins to Major Chen, the current official person in charge.

"After we entered, we found that the passages inside this ruin crisscrossed and intertwined. Moreover, the passages inside moved at regular intervals, only returning to their original positions after every four shifts in a repeating cycle. After spending a fair amount of effort to capture these three Blood Qi Puppets, we subsequently encountered a Blood Qi Puppet with terrifyingly formidable strength. Its body was so tough that firearms couldn't penetrate it, and its strength was immense. A single casual strike could send someone flying while coughing up blood. In the end, we had to use a gun to blast a hole in its body and shove a grenade into the wound to blow it to death. Its remains have already been gathered..."

Hearing about this thrilling ordeal, Major Chen, the official person in charge, furrowed his brow slightly. The dangers within the Wu Ming Ruins truly exceeded his expectations, especially these bizarre Blood Qi Puppets, which had caused quite a heavy loss.

"Professor Zhang, Professor Sun, you are both renowned experts in Central Continent. Do you have any confidence in studying results from these bizarre Blood Qi Puppets?!"

The two white-haired, half-bald professors standing nearby exchanged glances at this. Looking at the three Blood Qi Puppets bound by ropes unable to move on the ground, alongside the shattered remains of another Blood Qi Puppet, an expression of disbelief also surfaced on their faces.

Of the two, one was a biology expert and scholar, while the other was an expert and scholar studying the history of the Great Ming. At the moment, they were carefully observing the three Blood Qi Puppets and the shattered remains on the ground.

After watching for a good while, Professor Zhang, the former biology expert and scholar, finally spoke in a deep voice.

"These Blood Qi Puppets are truly a bit inconceivable. They neither breathe nor have a heartbeat, yet they can awaken upon sensing the magnetic field and aura emitted by humans, and then launch attacks. The wisdom of the ancients is truly unimaginable. This already violates modern biological science laws. It is just a pity that there are no specialized experimental research equipment here; otherwise, we could actually try to study them a bit."

As for Professor Sun, the other history expert and scholar standing nearby, he carefully scrutinized the exterior features of these Blood Qi Puppets, the beast hide armor on their bodies, and the tooth tablets tucked into their belts before speaking softly.

"Judging from the appearance of these Blood Qi Puppets, the braided hairstyles they wear, and the cut of their beast hide armor, it is very likely they were soldiers of the Yuan Dynasty during their lifetimes. The tooth tablets at their waist serve as the identification tags of foot soldiers, and what is engraved on them should be 'Phags-pa script'. These are the most elite Wolf Guards of the Yuan Dynasty! As for the silver tooth tablet on the other puppet that was blown to pieces, it indicates that this was a brave and formidable Centurion. No wonder they were so strong..."

Upon hearing these words, everyone standing around could not help drawing a sharp breath, and the curiosity on their faces grew even more intense.

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

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

Hearing this, Professor Sun reached out and pointed at the foreheads of the three Blood Qi Puppets, explaining, "From the character 'Prisoner' on their foreheads, we can tell that these Wolf Guards refined into Blood Qi Puppets were all criminals. If we further connect this with the ruin named 'Wu Ming', we can surmise that the Yuan army must have been defeated and captured by the Great Ming, after which they were refined through unimaginable means into Blood Qi Puppets to guard these Wu Ming Ruins..."

Upon hearing this explanation, a look of sudden realization involuntarily appeared on the faces of everyone present. Otherwise, why would Yuan Dynasty Wolf Guards be refined into Blood Qi Puppets and become the guardians of this 'Wu Ming Ruins'? Deducted this way, it finally sounded logical and made complete sense.

A look of emotional reflection appeared on Professor Sun's face. I wonder just how many secrets are hidden in antiquity, with absolutely no records whatsoever left in history. And these Blood Qi Puppets refined from dead corpses can actually remain undecayed for hundreds of years—it simply violates the laws of biological science...
