Has there been new progress in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range?
Lin Chao remained calm inside.
In truth, he was not overly concerned about matters in the Great Wilderness Mountain Range.
Those were all things of the past.
Still, he opened the livestream.
At that moment, the excavation site was brightly lit.
"Old Liu, we dug it open, and inside was a huge hollow valley.
"It was filled with bones, a vast sea of white, like a pit of ten thousand corpses!"
The worker at the front was trembling, and even his voice shook as he spoke.
Wang Jiao immediately became interested. They had found the main battlefield.
They had been excavating for a long time and had uncovered thousands of skeletons.
But what they had unearthed was not the core, nor the true battlefield.
Now that the real battlefield was about to appear before them, how could Liu Chengchao not be shocked and excited?
"Old Liu, shall we go in now?" Wang Jiao's voice was somewhat excited as well. "The viewers in front of their screens should all witness a scene like this!"
"Alright." Liu Chengchao drew a deep breath.
The main battlefield should contain even more information.
They might even find the truth behind the destruction of this Wolf Guard unit.
Perhaps they could also see the remains of Dafeng soldiers.
Or perhaps that mysterious Heize might truly make an appearance.
Of course, what would appear before them would surely be bones.
The group continued onward, their hearts stirred by a faint shock.
The camera remained trained ahead, while hundreds of thousands watched in the livestream.
That number was still steadily increasing.
Ahead was an entrance that had been excavated.
Passing through it led into the belly of the mountain.
The terrain inside was extraordinarily strange, dark as a world without daylight.
Yet beneath the illumination of countless powerful lamps, it was bright as day.
Liu Chengchao walked in and swept his gaze across the area.
Before his eyes stretched a vast sea of white!
Bones were everywhere!
Human bones and Giant Wolf bones!
The remains lay scattered in disorder. By a rough estimate, there were at least several thousand skeletons.
This scene struck Liu Chengchao and the others, as well as everyone in the livestream, with tremendous force.
The livestream chat exploded.
"I've never seen so many bones in my life!"
"How fierce must that battle have been back then?!"
"This Wolf Guard was completely wiped out, right?
"This battle was to the death, without either side stopping until the other was dead. Too terrifying!"
"Which army exactly took part in this battle?"
"There has never been any record of it. Could both sides have perished together?"
"Impossible. Those feudal armies in ancient times would collapse and retreat once casualties in a battle exceeded 5%.
"Even if the army led by Heize and the Wolf Guard were both the best among elite forces, they would definitely collapse once the death rate exceeded 30%.
"It's impossible for both sides to have been completely annihilated."
"The guy above is right. A backward system simply could not forge an army comparable to a modern military.
"Even certain extremely fanatical religious armies could not keep fighting once casualties exceeded half."
"Could it be that this army regarded death as returning home and had already resolved to die?"
"The human heart can least withstand a test.
"You speak so passionately now, but if you were placed on the battlefield, you might be the first one to run."
"Rather than saying this army regarded death as returning home, why not say the Demon God Heize descended and wiped out tens of thousands of Wolf Guards alone?
"After Heize died, his demonic soul refused to disperse and cursed the Wolf Clan's Giant Wolves.
"The Wolf Clan declined from that point onward.
"It was also because of the curse of Heize's demonic soul that these bones did not decay for a thousand years, could not fall into reincarnation, and endured a millennium of wind and rain."
"I think that makes a lot of sense!"
"Youya, if the bookstore doesn't have your book, I'll definitely go smash it up."
Though the viewers were shocked, quite a few were still making memes.
Naturally, the fact that the bones had not decayed for a thousand years remained an unsolved mystery.
Although experts had refuted the rumors, saying the unique geographical environment and various factors had caused it.
Those words could completely fool outsiders.
But those who knew their trade were not so easily fooled.
The historical disappearance of the Wolf Guard was definitely not so simple.
It carried an air of mystery, or perhaps an air of suspense.
"Old Liu, can we now fully confirm that this was the Wolf Clan unit from history?" Wang Jiao asked from the side.
"Almost certainly." Liu Chengchao looked ahead.
With the main battlefield uncovered, an investigation could reveal plenty of useful information.
Perhaps the truth of history could now be laid bare before them.
"Now, we...?" Wang Jiao asked what they would do next.
"We go back," Liu Chengchao said. "These remains need to be counted and examined.
"I'll also return over the next few days to organize and investigate them."
Inside a building in Cangxi City.
Liu Chengchao hurried over, covered in the dust of travel.
Qin Jiawei's face lit up with delight. "Chengchao, you're here. Sit down quickly. We need you now."
"Alright, Dean Qin." Liu Chengchao looked respectful as he sat down in a chair.
He drew a deep breath.
Sure enough, the matter of the Great Wilderness Mountain Range had drawn the attention of the highest levels.
After all, in the public's eyes, this was merely a historical event to pass the time, one that might alter the history books.
But the higher-ups saw something different.
They did not care how the Wolf Guard had been destroyed. They only cared how these bones had been preserved for a thousand years without decaying.
After all, bones left exposed in the open had remained intact for a thousand years.
This had an enormous impact on biology, chemistry, and other fields.
Qin Jiawei was the dean of the Great Xia Top 2 University School of Biology. The research institute he had established possessed an exceptionally capable research team and had achieved many results and patents in gene editing.
Last year, Qin Jiawei had also received Great Xia's highest science and technology award. He was an undisputed giant in the field.
At this moment, he had led his team to Cangxi City.
"Chengchao, take a look at this material first." Qin Jiawei placed a thick stack of documents before Liu Chengchao.
Liu Chengchao looked over the contents and carefully began flipping through them.
