The atmosphere in the open space near the king's cemetery was extremely tense. Both Gray and the two old men of the Warren family had a faint chill on their bodies.
The sun was shining brightly, but people nearby couldn't help but feel the chill seeping into their bodies, and waves of coldness came from them.
All the big and small forces looked here, with different expressions in their eyes. This was a confrontation between two big forces.
One is the Marquis family, the Wallen family, and it is a family that ranks at the forefront even among the Marquis families.
One is a force that most of them have only heard of for the first time today, but from the fact that this force can make the Warren family fearful, it is enough to see that this force is quite powerful.
The faces of the two old men of the Wallen family were gloomy. If they retreated here, the prestige of the Wallen family would be seriously damaged, and they might not be able to suppress other small families anymore.
But if it is blocked forcefully, it will definitely be a tough battle.
They knew the opponent's strength very well. Their own strength was not strong. Either one of them could kill him, but the weapon in his opponent's hand was extremely powerful.
Although they also brought powerful magic weapons, they fought with each other before the treasure in the King's Cemetery appeared. If there was damage, it would only be an advantage to other forces.
"Let them pass!"
The skinny old man had a gloomy look on his face and finally said softly.
Edgar, who blocked Gray's group's path, quickly retreated with a group of guards without any hesitation.
In fact, he had long wanted to retreat. He was very aware of Gray Fergus's fighting power. With his strength, he couldn't stop him. Now that he was given the order, he naturally wouldn't hesitate at all.
"The Warren family gave in!"
"They can actually force the Warren family to give in. What kind of power is this Fergus family?"
"None of the major families in the kingdom has the surname Fergus. Could it be that the Fergus family is a hidden family?"
…
All the families, big and small, were slightly surprised. The Fergus family was not simple to be able to make the Warren family take the initiative to give in.
Many of them looked at the Warren family with some mockery in their eyes. The family was powerful and domineering. Now they have finally hit the wall, right
"It's him… "
Next to a huge tent, there was a group of people. Among them was a brother and sister with green hair. They were the brother and sister that Gray had seen in the Mercenary City.
"Although I had long thought that he was something special, I didn't expect that he was Gray Fergus!"
The green-haired young man Elijah said slightly surprised.
"He is the one who suppressed the young master of the Flame Kingdom at the banquet?"
Samantha, a young woman with green hair, also had some surprise on her face.
"The same name and surname, and the same grievances with the Warren family, they should be the same person!"
The green-haired young man Elijah nodded.
Although what happened at that banquet was not allowed to be told outside the family, there was no such scruple within the families. Both of them had heard about it from within the family.
"The Warren family was really forced back by him!"
Several noble children who came with Gray were in a daze. Unexpectedly, Gray actually forced the Warren family back, allowing a Marquis family to take the initiative to give in.
"Let's go, don't you want to see the King's Cemetery?"
After greeting several aristocratic children who were still in a daze, Gray stepped towards the King's Cemetery. Several aristocratic children reacted and suddenly became excited and followed him one after another.
As we approached, the appearance of the King's Cemetery came into view.
This is a stone forest, covering an area of a hundred meters, with huge rocks standing one after another.
The surface of these rocks is covered with dense rune patterns. At this time, the light is restrained and there is no danger at all.
But the news they heard about this cemetery all showed that this stone forest was extremely dangerous.
So far, even one of the Barbarian Blood Warriors has died in it, and an unknown number of Berserker Blood Warriors and below have died.
"Look, that's..."
Several nobles also knew that it was extremely dangerous and did not dare to get too close. They just stood and looked at it from a distance. Suddenly, one of the noble girls exclaimed and pointed in a direction.
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger, and immediately saw a scorched black mark on the ground in that direction, which was clearly a human-shaped mark.
"Not even the bones were left!"
Several people couldn't help but look solemn and their eyes were horrified.
What kind of powerful force can cause such a degree of destructive power
Even the bones of the corpse were completely destroyed, leaving only a scorched black mark.
"There is also... "
"And there..."
…
Finally, several people discovered many charred humanoid traces one after another, the total number of which amounted to hundreds.
Each line represents a once living person, which means that at least hundreds of people have died inside.
Several nobles were awestruck and couldn't help but take a few steps back. They really felt the danger of the king's cemetery.
Gray also took a few steps back, and then an ordinary fine iron weapon suddenly appeared in his hand and was thrown towards the stone forest.
Crackling!
As soon as the iron weapon was thrown into the stone forest, the rune patterns on the boulders in the stone forest all lit up, emitting a coquettish purple light.
Then, a huge thunderbolt that was more than ten meters long appeared, roared, and hit the iron weapon.
Then there was a roar of the iron weapon, and it exploded into pieces, turning into pieces of iron filings and splattering everywhere.
"Even the weapons can't withstand it..."
Several noble disciples were even more surprised. Although it was just an extremely ordinary weapon, it was made of fine iron after all, so its hardness was needless to say.
But such a weapon was completely shattered by just one blast of lightning, and this was only the rune mechanism on the outermost edge of the King's Cemetery.
According to previous news, the deeper you go into the King's Tomb, the stronger the power of the rune mechanism will be. It is so powerful on the outside. It is simply unimaginable how destructive the King's Tomb can be deep inside.
Several noble children looked at the king's cemetery in front of them with horrified expressions, and even Gray looked solemn.
"There's a stone tablet there!"
Everyone looked into the depths of the stone forest and saw a huge stone tablet with a height of more than ten meters erected among numerous rocks.
There is no written record on the stone tablet, there is just a symbol that is as winding as a branch, like a tree and like lightning.
"Which king-level powerhouse is this sign?"
Gray carefully recalled the records about some king-level powerhouses he had read in the book, but he was unable to find the king-level powerhouses corresponding to this mark.
King-level experts are extremely mysterious and powerful, and there are very few books recorded about them.
And for this kind of existence, few people dare to write them into books. After all, if they cause dissatisfaction to the other party, it may lead to death or even genocide.
"With my current defense, it should be difficult to break through these rune puppets, but I can give it a try!"
As Gray thought, a huge blood beast with a body length of 6 meters appeared on the sand.
The blood beast was covered in purple scales, with slender limbs and a pointed head. It was the Barbarian Blood Beast Purple Flame Beast that Gray had hunted when he returned from the royal capital.
Without the ability of the blood beast, the combat power of this blood beast is much weaker than that of the physical type barbarian blood beast, so it is not suitable as a corpse control target.
However, Gray still controlled it. The purpose was to test the power of the rune mechanism in the King's Cemetery and see if he could pass the rune mechanism with metalization.
"Blood beast..."
"What a big blood beast. Is this a barbarian blood beast?"
The sudden appearance of the huge blood beast shocked several nobles, guards, and mercenaries. After Gray explained a few words to a few people, he directed the barbarian blood beast to march towards the stone forest.
Crackling!
As soon as the Purple Flame Beast stepped into the stone forest, a thick bolt of lightning struck him.
Boom!
There was an explosion, and violent thunder and lightning raged, completely surrounding the Purple Flame Beast.
However, there were no wounds on the purple flame beast that was revealed after it dissipated. After all, it was a barbarian blood beast, so it was naturally not something that could be injured by the outermost thunder and lightning.
Crackling!
Another bolt of lightning struck down, but the Purple Flame Beast was still unharmed.
Boom, boom!
Gray commanded the Purple Flame Beast to move inward. Suddenly, thunder and lightning continued to strike down on the Purple Flame Beast. Before the first one completely dissipated, the latter one had already come down again. In the end, the Purple Flame Beast was completely covered with thunder and lightning. Forward.
10 m.
20 meters.
The edge of the stone forest is about 50 meters away from the center. When it reaches 20 meters deep, the thunder and lightning attacking the purple flame beast becomes extremely violent. Each one is extremely thick, like a spear of thunder falling from the sky. .
Boom!
As thunder and lightning struck like this, the huge body of the Purple Flame Beast staggered suddenly. The scales on the surface of its body were damaged, and the flesh and blood at the location hit by the lightning was scorched black.
Obviously at this depth, even the defense of the purple flame beast, a barbarian blood beast, has reached its limit. If it continues to move forward, it will probably be destroyed in a short time.
"What a powerful force!"
Gray also gasped.
This depth alone can already destroy the barbarian-level defense. So how powerful the deepest part will be, I am afraid that as the rumors say, even the wild blood warriors will have difficulty withstanding it.
Gray quickly used his metallization ability to strengthen the Purple Flame Beast's defense.
Suddenly, a layer of bronze metallic luster appeared on the surface of the Purple Flame Beast. In a very short period of time, it was magically transformed from a body of flesh and blood into a body of metal.
It's just that the Purple Flame Beast was surrounded by thunder and lightning at this time. The noble disciples and other people paying attention were not able to notice this change.
