At the edge of the stone forest where the King's Cemetery is located, an old man appeared here, walking slowly along the edge of the stone forest.
The old man has age spots all over his face, his hair is sparse, his back is severely hunched, and he has a cane in his hand.
No matter how you look at him, he is a very ordinary old man, but at this time he has attracted the attention of everyone, including Gray.
The old man walked along the periphery of the stone forest. He took a few steps and then stopped. His eyes fell on the dense rune patterns on the stones. Sometimes he nodded and sometimes shook his head. Occasionally, there was a flash of light. The old man was only a hundred meters away in the stone forest. It took several hours.
"Grandpa Herman, you have worked hard, please come here to rest!"
Elijah and Samantha personally stepped forward and helped the old man to rest in a tent that had been set up.
Several major forces present sent representatives to follow them in. Gray also got permission to follow in because of his own strength and his acquaintance with the Elijah brothers and sisters.
After resting for a moment, Elijah asked politely.
"Grandpa Herman, how is the situation?"
"It's very troublesome. Just like the rumors, King Purple Thunder's attainments in rune patterns have indeed reached an extremely high level. This rune mechanism is definitely one of the most powerful rune mechanisms I have ever seen. "
Master Herman sighed slightly.
Hearing what the other party said, Gray and several other representatives of the major forces couldn't help but feel their hearts sink. Although they already knew that this rune mechanism was not simple, they did not expect Master Herman to speak so highly of it.
If there is nothing this person can do, they may really have to give up.
"Grandpa Herman, can that be cracked?"
Samantha asked.
"It's very difficult, I'm not very sure, and it requires the cooperation of a lot of people."
Master Herman said without nodding or shaking his head.
"If we need to do anything, Master Herman can give you orders. I believe that all the forces present will not refuse to cooperate."
A middle-aged man with black hair glanced at the representatives of various forces and spoke.
He comes from the Duke Kenneth family, which still has king-level powerful men in charge. In terms of strength, today's Duke Kenneth family is definitely the best among the three duke families.
"Yes, just follow Master Herman's orders."
"As long as we can do it, we will never shirk it."
…
Representatives of various forces spoke out one after another, and even Gray also expressed his position.
If the rune mechanism in the King's Cemetery cannot be cracked, everything will be in vain. Therefore, no force will be unwilling to cooperate in cracking the rune mechanism. After all, this is what they want to see.
Moreover, if you back down and are unwilling to cooperate at this time, when the rune mechanism is cracked, you will definitely be excluded by other forces and will not be allowed to enter the King's Cemetery.
"I need eight brutal blood warriors to cooperate with me, and this process is extremely dangerous."
Master Herman said solemnly.
The representatives of each family were shocked in their hearts, but they still said abnormally.
"The Kenneth family is willing to send someone!"
"The Cumberland family is willing to send one!"
…
The seven major forces and Gray gathered together eight barbaric blood warriors.
Among them, Gray has the most relaxed look and has the ability to control corpses. He obviously does not need to go into battle in person, and there is almost no safety concern.
He didn't start taking action immediately. After confirming that he had gathered eight brutal blood warriors, Master Herman began a long preparation.
He took out piece after piece of purple stone, which was about the thickness of an adult's thigh. After simply cutting it, he began to draw complicated rune patterns one after another on it. Eventually, the entire purple stone was densely covered with rune patterns.
On the second day, outside the stone forest of the King's Cemetery, Gray, who controlled the brute ants, and seven other brutal blood warriors stood in eight directions in the stone forest, ready to take action at any time.
Others from various major and small forces appeared close to the stone forest, and they all paid close attention.
Whether the rune mechanism can be cracked depends on this time. If even Master Herman cannot crack the rune mechanism, then we can only give up, unless we can invite a king-level powerhouse to take action.
But this is very difficult to do. Even the Kenneth family, which has king-level experts, is difficult to mobilize.
The existing king-level experts in the Ziyue Kingdom have been in seclusion for almost many years, in order to break through to a higher realm, enhance their strength, and extend their lifespan. Unless the family encounters an unimaginable crisis, otherwise, under normal circumstances, they will not Take action.
Moreover, as king-level experts, they are very disgusted with this kind of thing. After all, they will inevitably enter the grave and change places in the future. They also do not want their resting place to be disturbed.
"It's time to take action!"
Master Herman held the rune space bag and said solemnly.
Swish, swish, swish!
Upon hearing the order, Gray controlled the Brute Ants and seven Brutal Blood Warriors to rush towards the stone forest.
Crackling!
The moment they rushed into the stone forest, lightning exploded throughout the stone forest, attacking them.
Facing the waves of thunder and lightning that were attacking them, ice balls suddenly appeared around the Kenneth family's brutal warriors, flying out continuously, smashing the thunder and lightning into pieces, and themselves becoming shattered into pieces.
A wall of thunder and lightning appeared in front of the Addison family's wild-blood warrior, blocking all incoming thunder and lightning. Whenever the thunder and lightning wall shattered, it would immediately grow again.
The wild-blood warriors of the Valen family kept dodging and dodging quickly to avoid the thunder and lightning that struck one after another.
The brute ants relied on their own defense and rushed straight into the stone forest without dodge.
…
The seven brute-blood warriors and brute-force ants each relied on their own methods and quickly rushed into the depths of the stone forest.
As they went deeper and deeper, the thunder and lightning triggered by the rune mechanism became more boiling, like a sea of thunder and lightning descending.
After reaching 20 meters, the power of thunder and lightning reached the limit of the seven brute-blood warriors and brute-force ants. If they continue to rush forward, even if they have brute-level combat power, they will be turned into violent thunder and lightning in a short time. coke.
At this point, they stopped, neither moving forward nor retreating, and were deadlocked there.
Endless thunder and lightning was triggered, and struck them violently like a violent storm.
"It's now!"
At this moment, Master Elman's eyes burst into light. His stooped figure seemed to be several decades younger. He kept taking out purple stones full of veins from the rune space bag and placing them accurately. Throw it into the stone forest.
Surprisingly, when facing the purple stones thrown into the stone forest, although thunder and lightning appeared and attacked these purple stones, the power of these thunder and lightning was unusually weak and could not damage these purple stones.
"The power is contained..."
Gray's eyes lit up and he guessed the reason.
Although the rune mechanism is powerful, it must have its limit. When seven barbaric blood warriors and a barbarian-level blood beast rushed into the stone forest from eight directions, they immediately attracted most of the power of the rune mechanism. passed.
That's why these purple stones thrown into the stone forest are so weak against lightning attacks.
Swish, swish, swish!
Master Elman quickly threw purple stones into the stone forest. The throwing of each stone was obviously not random, but followed a certain pattern.
While throwing, he ran quickly around the stone forest. After running around in one circle, he had invested more than three hundred purple stones.
"retreat-"
Suddenly, he reminded loudly.
And the moment he reminded him, the more than 300 purple stones he threw out lit up one after another, forming a more complex array than a six-pointed star.
Boom, boom, boom!
The pattern, which is more complex than the six-pointed star, seems to be embedded in the rune mechanism of the stone forest and becomes part of the rune mechanism.
Then, the already extremely violent thunder and lightning became even more violent, and the thunder roared, connecting the sky and the earth. From a distance, a brilliant purple light descended.
Thunder and lightning burst out wildly, attacking everything they encountered, not just the brute ants and the seven brute-blood warriors, but even the stones in the stone forest that were full of patterns were also attacked.
The attack became chaotic and the target could no longer be distinguished.
boom!
The brute-blooded warrior of the Oka family was unable to dodge and was directly hit by a bolt of lightning. He was immediately scorched and flew backwards. The brute-blooded ant and several other barbaric-blooded warriors also failed to dodge and were all struck by the raging lightning. attack.
Click, click!
Under the attack of powerful and aimless lightning, the stones in the stone forest began to show signs of cracks. Eventually, all the stones cracked.
Boom!
Finally, violent thunder and lightning rolled around like waves.
"Quickly retreat!"
Such a terrifying change caused Gray and the others who were observing from close range to change their expressions and retreat sharply.
Some of the ones that retreated slowly and were not very strong were swept by purple thunder and lightning, and exploded in an instant. They didn't even have time to scream, and then turned into ashes, making people in the distance drip with cold sweat.
After retreating several hundred meters, Gray and others stopped in shock.
In the distance, the stone forest where the king's tomb was located has disappeared. It is hundreds of meters in radius and the ground is scorched black. Only a stone tablet more than ten meters high stands there quietly.
The rune mechanism has been cracked!
