Chapter 15: Could the Life and Death Shrine be real?

With the support of Miss Jia, the excavation work at Dahuang Mountain is proceeding faster and faster.

The number of live-streaming channels has also increased.

Not only is there the main channel like Wang Jiao's, but there are also many secondary channels.

However, Wang Jiao's channel still has the highest popularity.

After all, Wang Jiao's channel has an expert like Liu Chengchao presiding over it.

Its professionalism and the cutting-edge nature of its information are both ahead of other channels.

At this moment, Liu Chengchao is standing at the excavation site, frowning.

"How is the progress now?"

"There are already three thousand Wolf Tribe skeletons and two thousand Giant Wolf skeletons.

But..."

"But there is still no discovery of Dafeng soldier skeletons, right?" Liu Chengchao knit his brows.

This matter is very important.

Currently, with the start of the excavation, Wolf Tribe skeletons and some armor accessories have been discovered in this buried area.

However, these accessories are all from the Wolf Tribe.

There is not a single skeleton of a Dafeng soldier.

In fact, not even a single weapon or combat tool from Dafeng has been discovered, not even a fragment.

This is very Ghost.

Two armies at war.

Especially when one side is the world-renowned Wolf Guard.

Yet, on the battlefield, there are no Dafeng soldier skeletons, and not even any weapons have been discovered.

This is simply unimaginable; what kind of war was it?

"None discovered," the researchers replied. "The skeletons tested so far all come from the Wolf Tribe."

"Could it be that the Dafeng soldiers did not engage in close-quarters combat with the Wolf Guard, but instead used bows and arrows, or catapults?" Wang Jiao offered her own speculation from the side.

"Bows and arrows are strong, but their lethality is limited.

In this terrain, there are too many places to dodge arrows."

Liu Chengchao frowned, pondering something.

"Catapults and the like could not possibly be moved up the mountain."

The battle here is truly Ghost.

Liu Chengchao has already discovered several suspicious points.

The Wolf Tribe skeletons seem to have gone through a millennium without decaying.

There are no Dafeng soldier skeletons appearing in the battle here.

It is as if, just like in the Life and Death Shrine, only Heize participated in the battle on the Dafeng side.

Thinking of these things, Liu Chengchao's expression changed slightly.

"We are going to the Life and Death Shrine."

A new speculation suddenly arose in his heart.

What if everything inside the Life and Death Shrine is true?

Is it true that only Heize was on the Dafeng side, and he used his own strength to Slay the Wolf Guard?

It is just... is this possible?

Is this something a carbon-based lifeform could do?

Looking at the images on the Life and Death Shrine, Liu Chengchao's heart fell into a trace of confusion.

Exaggeration, overstatement—he knows about that.

Many Life and Death Shrines have exaggerations.

However, this "one against ten thousand" is no longer an exaggeration; it is a Mythical feat.

Is it necessary to go straight to Mythical?

Or could it be that all of this is true?

Immediately, Liu Chengchao shook his head.

This is impossible.

Where could one person Slay ten thousand Wolf Guards?

Even if there were ten thousand pigs standing in a row, not moving, letting someone kill them would be exhausting.

For now, he will wait for further excavation to see if more clues can be found.

At this moment, Liu Chengchao's phone screen lit up, and a call came in.

"Hello, Wang Lao, are the results out?"

"Yes, the era is too distant; current testing cannot necessarily guarantee accuracy.

These skeletons, according to the thirty-four tested so far, are estimated to have suffered external blunt force trauma, causing bone fractures and eventually death from internal bleeding."

"Thank you, Wang Lao."

Having received this answer, Liu Chengchao took a deep breath.

He turned his gaze toward the Life and Death Shrine.

On the Life and Death Shrine, Heize sweeps with his Spear, sending people flying.

If it were truly one against ten thousand, using a Spear to stab people would be slower; it would be better to sweep directly, clearing a whole area with one stroke.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengchao shuddered.

What was he letting his imagination run wild for?

How could one possibly hold off ten thousand?

"Old Liu, did you find anything else?" Wang Jiao asked from the side, not forgetting to livestream.

She changed her outfit every day; today she wore a short skirt and silk stockings, radiating a youthful and sexy aura.

"No." Liu Chengchao naturally would not speak of the guesses in his heart.

If he were to say those things, his career as an expert would likely be over.

"Mom, I've been doing very well at school.

I recently found a part-time job and earned some money."

Lin Chao sat on a chair and spoke slowly.

Having earned one million, he had moved out of his single room and now lived in a two-bedroom apartment.

Now, he occasionally tried to exercise his body, or rather, practice martial arts.

He also bought some supplements for his parents and helped them get a physical examination.

Lin Chao's family situation was not very good.

Both his parents were Ordinary people with low educational backgrounds, and the work they did was quite strenuous.

Yesterday, Lin Chao had even booked a physical examination for his parents, giving them a comprehensive check-up.

Fortunately, they were generally fine, just having a few minor ailments.

These were fine and not major issues, which made Lin Chao heave a sigh of relief.

"Mm-hmm, I'm doing great, I'm not tired."

Lin Chao replied.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Lin Chao froze.

On the phone, his mother had asked him for a favor.

"A distant cousin? To look after her?"

Listening to the phone, he had a distant cousin named Zhao Xiaoyi who had been admitted to a university in Tianhai.

She hoped Lin Chao would look after her.

Tomorrow, Zhao Xiaoyi would arrive in Tianhai City, and Lin Chao would go to help her get settled.

Regarding Zhao Xiaoyi, Lin Chao did not have many memories, only remembering that she was quite cute.

If Lin Chao remembered correctly, when his father was sick and needed surgery years ago, Zhao Xiaoyi's parents had lent them a lot of money, helping Lin Chao's family get through the crisis.

Zhao Xiaoyi would be coming to Tianhai City and staying for a period of time.

Lin Chao would help look after her; this was a favor he could not refuse.

"Alright, no problem." Lin Chao agreed.

It was a good thing he had switched to a two-bedroom apartment.

Otherwise, it would have been quite inconvenient.

However, he also guessed that Zhao Xiaoyi might not necessarily stay at his place.

If he remembered correctly, Zhao Xiaoyi's family situation was quite good.

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chao was just about to put down his phone.

Just then, a friend request came through WeChat.

Lin Chao took a look; it was his distant cousin Zhao Xiaoyi.

This distant cousin was indeed very distant, beyond the five degrees of mourning.

"Brother Lin Chao, I am Zhao Xiaoyi, sorry to trouble you."

Following it was a bowing emoji.

"No problem."

Lin Chao replied.

"I'll pick you up at the train station tomorrow."

"Thank you, Brother Lin Chao!"

Lin Chao put down his phone, his gaze turning toward the Simulator.

There was only a little over a day left until the next simulation.

"I wonder what will be simulated this time."

Lin Chao thought, feeling expectant inside.

After the first and second simulations today, he discovered that the Simulator was becoming increasingly advanced.

The third simulation might be completely different from the second.

"I hope to gain more benefits this time."

This time, Lin Chao intended to simulate seriously.

The last time he simulated Heize, he had originally thought it was just a game with strange colors.

He had not expected that the excavation in the Dahuang Mountain Range might truly involve the existence of Heize.

Then, would this simulation also be a real world?
