In the outskirts of Jiangdu, the earth slowly bulged, and a stone gate rose. Hundreds of meters of blood-red smoke billowed up, unscrupulously emitting an invisible oppressive force that enveloped a thousand-meter radius.
Such a clear anomaly immediately attracted the attention of many people. They quickly recalled the strange sights when the Wu Ming Ruins first appeared, and their expressions instantly became excited as they eagerly headed towards the ruins.
Some people uploaded videos they had taken online, which immediately caused a storm, attracting countless netizens to watch. Comments and messages followed one after another.
"Holy crap! The second Wu Ming Ruins has finally appeared! Brothers, hurry up and rush in!!"
"I missed the last time, I must go in and explore this time! To boost my luck! If I can just pick one or two rare herbs, I'll be rich!!"
"The one above, add me! The most common danger in the Wu Ming Ruins is those qi and blood puppets. Besides that, there's only the remnant body of the Great Yuan Imperial Advisor Basiba, which appears at the very end, sealed in the deepest part of the ruins. If you're careful, you won't encounter much danger."
"Haha... Brothers! I'm already at the scene! Wait for me to broadcast live for everyone!!"
"..."
Netizens in nearby locations were restless and quickly drove over. The explorers who had entered the Wu Ming Ruins last time became even more active. Whether it was the rare herbs inside or the hidden Human Immortal Martial Dao cultivation methods, these were all opportunities that could directly enhance one's strength. They had already tasted the benefits.
Even the folk Manifesting Strength explorers who regretted not entering last time were now holding their breath, ready to try their luck and increase their strength.
Coupled with the continuously growing number of Manifesting Strength level pugilists, many of whom had broken through to the Hidden Strength level with the help of 'Peiyuan Pills', the number of people attracted by the second Wu Ming Ruins had increased severalfold. The quality was also much higher than last time, with the leaders almost all being at the Hidden Strength level.
Of course, the fastest to react were the Central Continent officials. It was precisely because the officials' reaction speed was slow last time that they allowed a group of folk Manifesting Strength pugilists to seize the initiative. The number of explorers was more than half that of the officials, resulting in the folk picking most of the rare herbs from the Wu Ming Ruins. In the end, the officials had to rely on the 'Peiyuan Pills' they developed to exchange for the rare herbs.
Upon learning that a new Wu Ming Ruins had appeared, the Central Continent officials immediately reacted. Without any hesitation, they decisively ordered the deployment of ten armed helicopters, carrying carefully selected special forces. The squad leaders were all at the Hidden Strength level, and their equipment was superior, making them extremely combat-effective.
In addition, considering that the remnant body of the Great Yuan Imperial Advisor Basiba was sealed beneath the Wu Ming Ruins, and recalling the terrifying combat power displayed by the demonized remnant body last time.
The Central Continent officials simply mobilized relevant regular troops to the ground, including armored vehicles, large-caliber anti-materiel sniper rifles, portable rocket launchers, and various other heavy weapons.
They arrived near the Wu Ming Ruins in a mighty procession and systematically established a blockade. The firepower coverage could completely cover three hundred meters in front, and the bombing accuracy could be precise to within one meter.
Of course, the biggest reaction came from the folk explorers. Seeing the Central Continent officials' terrifying firepower lineup, their faces changed. They were shocked by the officials' actions. Was this just a Wu Ming Ruins that warranted such exaggerated firepower? One might think foreign enemies were invading!!
With such a powerful level of firepower, it was almost enough for a small-scale war. Even if the demonized remnant body of the Great Yuan Imperial Advisor Basiba sealed within the ruins grew three heads and six arms, it probably couldn't withstand the powerful firepower net laid out by the Central Continent officials.
Not only that, but they also dispatched a more resolute colonel to command the scene, adopting a rather aggressive stance. This made the folk explorers who had come unable to help but worry. What if the Central Continent officials directly sealed off the ruins and prevented them from entering?!
While waiting for the blood-red smoke pillar to contract and the Wu Ming Ruins to open, under the pressure from the Central Continent officials, the folk explorers subconsciously gathered together, preparing to share the pressure.
Of course, besides the folk and official factions, there were also some streamers who came specifically to gain traffic and attention, holding their live-streaming equipment, ready to broadcast the scene in real-time.
Such a conspicuous anomaly also excited spies secretly dispatched by countries like America, Britain, and other Western European nations. They finally had the opportunity to access a brand-new mysterious ancient ruin in the Central Continent. They were almost all mixed within the folk faction, preparing to fish in troubled waters and, ideally, obtain some precious materials from the ruins.
