Chapter 23: Liu Chengchao's Three Hypotheses

Liu Chengchao frowned.

"How does Elder Qin think the Wolf Guard died?"

Liu Chengchao had his own guesses, but he did not say them directly.

Doing so would make him seem unprofessional and lacking in standard.

Sometimes, providing a few clues and letting people deduce it themselves is more convincing.

"According to the data I have obtained so far, it is nothing more than the most popular theory on the internet.

Heize was not an ordinary general; he had a battle-hardened army under his command.

Relying on the right timing, favorable terrain, and the support of the people, Heize ambushed the Wolf Guard in the Dahuang Mountain Range and ultimately wiped them out."

Qin Jiawei gave a very simple answer that appeared to have no issues.

This answer was also easier for people to accept.

However, in the next second, his tone shifted.

"However, an ordinary battle-hardened army would certainly not be an unknown force in Dafeng.

An ordinary battle-hardened army also could not cause these Wolf Tribe corpses to undergo this kind of mutation.

If I remember correctly..."

Qin Jiawei stared at Liu Chengchao: "Up until now, not a single skeleton of a Dafeng border soldier, or rather, a soldier with the bloodline of our Daxia Clan, has been discovered."

Liu Chengchao nodded.

The main battlefield had already been found.

Currently, their team had to perform tens of thousands of tests every day.

What had been tested so far was merely the tip of the iceberg.

Yet, based on the current test results, there were many suspicious aspects.

In that valley, almost no items related to Dafeng had been found.

Regarding the Wolf Tribe, there were many.

Armor, Gold Totems, Stone Wolf Swords, and so on.

However, based on the positions of the skeletons, one could infer something.

Many of these Wolf Tribe members had indeed died while fighting against people.

"Why do you think no Dafeng soldier skeletons have appeared?" Qin Jiawei looked at Liu Chengchao.

The testing was not yet complete.

However, based on the current results, it could almost be inferred that there were no Dafeng soldier skeletons.

"I have three hypotheses.

The first one: someone retrieved the Dafeng soldiers' skeletons.

This one is highly unlikely to be true."

In the Dahuang Mountain Range, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked; that valley was sealed by dust, and no one could enter it at all.

If not for a chance accident, it would not have been discovered by everyone now, a thousand years later.

Qin Jiawei could naturally think of this point; he nodded, agreeing with Liu Chengchao's statement.

"The second one: actually, Heize had another identity.

He was a spy, undercover in the Wolf Tribe, becoming a leader within the Wolf Guard.

While marching, he fought with the leader of the Wolf Guard; through infighting, the Wolf Guard was wiped out."

Liu Chengchao said calmly.

This guess was equally shocking and melodramatic, but it was more plausible than the previous one.

"A very good idea.

But... the Daxia Clan people and the Wolf Tribe not only have a large difference in appearance.

A Dafeng person who could become a student of Liu Xiu could not possibly join the Wolf Guard and become a high-ranking member of the Wolf Guard.

The Wolf Tribe is not like other tribes that like to employ Daxia officials.

What is the third hypothesis? I am looking forward to it."

"The third one..."

Mentioning this, Liu Chengchao took a deep breath.

"Elder Qin should know about the Life and Death Shrine?"

"The Life and Death Shrine in the Dahuang Mountain Range?" Qin Jiawei smiled, "I know it, and I even finished reading it carefully."

"What are Elder Qin's thoughts after finishing it?"

"Are you trying to say that the third possibility is that the content in the Life and Death Shrine is true, and it was Heize alone who slew the ten thousand Wolf Guard?"

Liu Chengchao nodded.

After reading the Life and Death Shrine, this thought had been lingering in his mind, unable to dissipate for a long time.

Of course, this kind of speculation was too shocking.

"A very imaginative idea." Qin Jiawei gave his own evaluation, "But I feel it is not as good as the second one."

As an expert in the field of bioengineering and gene editing, Qin Jiawei knew the fragility of the human body.

Although his current research was also bizarre, it was all within his range of cognition.

Humans are carbon-based organisms; even if their physical bodies were stronger, they could not compare to objects made of steel.

Therefore, he would not believe that Heize alone slew the Wolf Guard.

This was not something a human, not something a carbon-based organism, could achieve.

Even if genetic engineering were to advance another level or two to create a Super Soldier.

Relying on physical body alone, it is impossible for one person to Slay tens of thousands of Wolf Guard, especially Wolf Guard that also have Giant Wolf.

Liu Chengchao revealed a smile, masking his embarrassment: "Indeed, at present, the second possibility is still more likely.

Of course, as our subsequent excavation work progresses and we obtain more and more information, perhaps we will discover other useful information."

"Indeed." Qin Jiawei also smiled, "What if Heize is a transmigrator, possessing an Iron Forest Gun with infinite ammunition, and wiped out the Wolf Tribe directly."

Liu Chengchao also smiled.

He knew that what Qin Jiawei said was a meme.

This is a theory that has been circulating on the internet recently.

Of course, it is fine to just look at it as a joke.

Spacetime travel, this is even more exaggerated than Superman, and even harder to explain.
