    The satellite imagery showed that the rivers around the entire ruins had been stained red with blood.


    “Conventional weapons are useless against them, and if we use advanced weapons, the aftermath might be something that we as human beings could not bear. Moreover–”


    Doctor Zhao sighed deeply, “On the Non-Serengeti prairie, the Empire once used a nuclear weapon to strike at Ogu, but the result was… it’s still alive.”


    Pei Jinye pondered, “How many people did we sacrifice?”


    “During the retreat, we lost more than twenty elites,” Doctor Zhao said somewhat sorrowfully. “The werewolves’ perception of the ruins far surpasses our expectations. I even suspect that the appearance of the ruins is related to them.”


    It did sound rather eerie.


    Yet considering that even nuclear weapons could not inflict substantial damage on quasi-first-level werewolves like Ogu.


    Some eerie matters also seemed reasonable.


    “At present, headquarters is still sending masters here, but there might be some difficulties on the surface… So for the time being, we will have to figure out our own solutions.”


    Pei Jinye asked upon seeing this, “How many masters do we have here?”


    ” Including myself, only four warriors are above second-level.”


    “…So few?”


    Standing with Doctor Zhao, Jinye could feel the different aura emanating from him.


    He was definitely a master.


    Hearing him admit it himself, Jinye wasn’t surprised.


    What he thought more about right now…


    More and more masters were heading this way.


    Wild Gold Country itself had first and second-level martial arts strongmen… Given the current level of difficulty, conquering Tianzang Ruins would be incredibly difficult.


    “Currently, the Werewolf Tribe holds the greatest advantage. After the major human organizations withdrew, other Beast Clans took the lead, hoping that these clans would wear down the Werewolf Tribe more.”


    Doctor Zhao motioned for Jinye to look at the seventh report.


    “We have reliable information now that ‘Tianzang Ruins’ have a large number of traps. Even without the werewolves clearing the way, we would not be able to enter anytime soon.”


    “Traps?”


    Jinye looked over.


    Doctor Zhao nodded, “These traps are formidable. We’ve already encountered them on the outskirts. If it weren’t for our timely dodging, even I might have been left behind.”


    “I’m curious, what exactly is ‘Tianzang Ruins’?” Jinye inquired.


    Doctor Zhao pondered and said, “Twenty years ago, before Master Tianzang passed away, he declared that he had left all his knowledge in a secret place, waiting for the destined to unlock. You might have heard of Master Tianzang; he invented a very powerful Breathing Method… De Si was probably also coming for this method.”


    After finishing the explanation,


    Doctor Zhao took out another scroll.


    “This is a list of masters we’ve compiled. These people have already arrived, and more will be added to the list later.”


    Jinye unrolled the scroll.


    Doctor Zhao explained beside him, “This is a first-level warrior from Wild Gold Country, named Wild Nufu. He is now eighty-seven years old and rarely emerges from seclusion, but he still appeared near the ruins today.”


    “Eighty-seven years old… that’s not young. Is he still at his peak?” Jinye looked over.


    Doctor Zhao shook his head, “I checked him out today, and he seems to have begun declining. But a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and this is his turf, so not many dare to disrespect him.”


    “Wild Gold Country only has him as a first-level strongman. The other eighteen claiming to be his ‘Eighteen Forbidden Guards’ are all proclaimed second-level strongmen, but according to our intelligence, half of them are only quasi-second level…”


    “These people are members of the ‘Fire God Cannon’, so far only one quasi-second level warrior has arrived, codename ‘Thunderbolt Cannon’…”


    “Besides these human warriors, some beasts have also shown quasi-second-level strength and above, like this Black Big Bird, and a leopard… even Serpent Species.”


    Doctor Zhao had been doing intelligence work abroad for years, so he knew a lot of things.


    Through him, Jinye learned a great deal.


    “It’s strange to say, it’s like many Beast Species suddenly evolved… But can their bodies really grow three to five times bigger overnight? And before this, our satellites couldn’t even track them, which is absurd.”


    Jinye caught his meaning, “You think these fierce beasts have actually existed for a long time, but now that the environment has changed, they have emerged?”


    “Yes, that’s indeed my suspicion.”


    Doctor Zhao revealed another fact that Jinye didn’t know.


    “The real ‘Tianzang Ruins’ is not on that island but under the sea. We made a rough estimate at the time. The space is vast, and the grand temple above has many secret passages. We’ve tried to search with drones, but the magnetic field there is strange, making all electronic equipment ineffective.”


    “Such a magical place, could all this be the work of Master Tianzang?”


    “We can’t be sure. After all, the master was too mysterious…”


    “I’m curious, have our people made contact?”


    Jinye used “our” instead of “your,” a phrasing that easily deepens the relationship between them.


    Doctor Zhao nodded, “They have made contact. Master Tianzang’s life was unpredictable, no one knows his real details; he looked more Asian and was proficient in languages and customs around the world…


    “Twenty-five years ago, I had the fortune to meet this senior.”


    “You met him in person?” Jinye asked in surprise.


    Doctor Zhao nodded and smiled, “I’m 48 years old this year, surprising right?”


    Jinye shook his head, “I thought you were about the same age as Master Zhao, at most thirty.”


    “Hahaha.” Doctor Zhao laughed heartily for once, “He was born when I was already in college. It was a coincidence to meet Master Tianzang back then. We were trapped in the Arctic, and it was Master Tianzang who rescued us, breaking through the sea… That ability was truly unforgettable.”


    Jinye listened to his description and suddenly thought of Master Technique.


    But this world knew too little about Master Technique. When Jinye admitted his own status, he thought he could meet a few from the Summer Country, but he was told he was the only one.


    “So was Master Tianzang a Technique Master?”


    “No, he was a swordsman, but perhaps he studied Technique as well? However, it seemed different from how Technique Masters operate. I didn’t see him make hand symbols. When he dashed across the waves and swung his sword, the environment around him changed.”


    Jinye’s interest was piqued upon hearing this.


    …

    Soon, night fell.


    Lightning slashed across the night sky, illuminating the whole island of ruins.


    “Did you see that?”


    Doctor Zhao asked quietly.


    Jinye nodded, his gaze intense.
