The walls, floor, and ceiling of the huge room are all paved with white jade stone, and are full of exquisite patterns. Even after hundreds of years, it is still extremely gorgeous.
There are many rooms on the left and right sides, and there are many daily necessities in them that are already full of dust.
On the innermost side, there is a long passage with no end as far as the eye can see.
This place doesn't look like a residence for the dead at all, but rather like a place for the living to live.
"Sure enough, just like the rumors, a king-level strongman will build a cemetery when he has a premonition that he is about to die, and then live in the cemetery. Until the moment of death, he will enter the depths of the cemetery and bury himself!"
Said a middle-aged man who had read many related books.
Gray and others looked towards the passage, and they seemed to see a king-level strongman who was once a hero but was now aging. He was full of loneliness, staggering step by step, walked into the passage, and finally buried himself deep in the tomb.
The most ruthless thing in the world is not the human heart, but the years.
Even those who are as strong as kings cannot escape the ravages of time. Like ordinary people, they will eventually come to the end of their lives and turn into decaying loess.
"This teacup is made of moon wood. I heard that using this kind of wood to hold tea and drinking it for a long time can help with cultivation..."
"This stone table is polished with purple sandstone, a precious rune material..."
Even if it is just a "simple residence" for a king-level expert before his death, it is not simple.
The teacups, stone tables, beds, and even the decorations were all extraordinary. Everyone was frantically grabbing them, grabbing everything they could see.
Gray was no exception. He collected a stone table and five stone chairs, all made of a stone called thunderstone, which is an excellent material for drawing rune mechanisms, and sold them to some people. The needed Rune Master can definitely be sold for a sky-high price.
In the end, everything in the entire hall and even other rooms was swept away and became bare.
The 90 people, including Gray, looked at the room and saw the endless passage, and many of them had extremely eager eyes.
Just a residence where Purple Thunder King once lived has such a huge harvest, so how precious will the funerary objects in Purple Thunder King's tomb be
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Many people ducked and rushed into the passage, and Gray followed after a little hesitation.
Although I knew there would be danger inside, how could I back down now that I was here
The huge passage can accommodate more than a dozen people walking side by side. Even with 90 people running in it, it doesn't seem crowded, but rather empty.
puff!
Suddenly, a middle-aged man from the Kenneth family who was rushing forward suddenly fell down while rushing forward, and then could not get up again.
The people nearby looked around and were horrified. They saw a pool of bright red blood emerging from under the opponent's body. Turning his body over, he saw that the opponent's body was covered with densely packed sharp blades.
With wide eyes, at that moment, the other party obviously discovered the crisis, but it was too late to avoid it.
Being selected as one of the ten people by the Duke Kenneth family, the opponent's strength will naturally not be weak, but even so, the opponent still died before he could even dodge. One can imagine how powerful this mechanism is. big.
After searching carefully, I found that next to his body, a stone slab sank slightly, and on the stone slab in front, there were dense holes. Obviously, the sharp blades just shot out from this hole.
"ah-"
Not only this middle-aged man, but at the same time as the middle-aged man fell, others fell one after another. Some people died before they even had time to scream, and the screams of some people became their last words in this time. sound.
Hearing the screams one after another, Gray's heart suddenly trembled. It was obvious that there was a mechanism in the passage.
Click!
At this moment, he suddenly felt that the stone slab under his feet was loose and sinking.
Then, a stone slab above the head suddenly slid open, and a hole appeared.
Swish, swish, swish!
From the hole, a large number of metal blades shot out, and the cold light flashed directly towards his head.
Jingle, jingle, jingle!
Just when these metal blades were about to hit Gray, they suddenly lost their power and slid down weakly, falling to the ground.
At the critical moment, Gray used his ability to control metal and forcibly stopped the attacking metal blades, resolving the crisis.
Whoosh!
A figure passed by Gray and rushed deep into the passage. It was the green-haired young man Elijah.
His sister Samantha did not follow, but he did.
He rushed forward regardless of the mechanism, not because he knew how not to trigger the mechanism, but every time he triggered the mechanism, a bolt of lightning would strike out, blowing away all the incoming metal blades.
At the same time, no less than a dozen people made the same choice as him. They also used various means to rush forward quickly against the trap.
The mechanism in the passage is obviously not as powerful as the rune mechanism outside, so it poses little threat to the Barbarian Blood Warriors.
Whoosh!
Gray quickly followed.
There are many mechanisms in the passage. Every ten meters forward, a mechanism will be triggered. However, every time the mechanism is about to hit Gray, it suddenly stops and falls straight to the ground.
After rushing forward for a hundred meters, my eyes suddenly opened up, and a huge space like before appeared.
"This is the rune room!"
In the room, there are many long tables, a large number of rune tools, and a lot of rune materials.
If nothing else, this should be the place where King Purple Thunder usually makes rune items.
Gray was not the first person to arrive. Several people had arrived before him. Each of these people had a rune space bag in hand and quickly swept the good things they saw into the rune space bag.
Gray joined in. Unlike others who only sweep away good things when they see them, he sweeps them up as soon as he sees them, stuffing them all into the purple ring. Anyway, the purple ring has a huge space, so there is no need to worry about not being able to fit it in.
"This is… ?"
Suddenly, Gray saw a weapon similar to a crossbow and three things that looked like matching arrows on a stone platform in a room.
This crossbow-like thing and the three matching arrows are full of complex and complicated rune patterns, which look extremely extraordinary.
Although I don’t know what kind of powerful weapon it is, the weapon that appears in the Purple Thunder King’s rune room must be very powerful.
Whoosh!
Gray quickly rushed towards the crossbow and the three arrows, reaching out to grab these two things.
At this moment, a dry palm stretched out and grabbed these two things.
Uh-huh!
Gray got closer to the two things. He quickly grabbed the two things in his hands and ducked to the side to keep the distance away. The dry palm was empty.
"Grey Fergus, hand it over, I discovered it first..."
The person fighting for things with Gray was a skinny old man, who turned out to be one of the two wild-blooded warriors of the Warren family. Seeing Gray snatching away the two things, he said with a sullen face.
"Did you discover it first? Is there a first-come, first-served basis for things without owners?"
Gray chuckled disdainfully.
Not to mention that he had doubts about the other party's "discovered it first", even if it was really discovered by the other party first, he would not be able to hand it over.
Not to mention the conflict between him and the Warren family, let's just say that in this king's cemetery, everything is ownerless, and there is no priority at all, and it is impossible for him to hand over the things.
At this time, other members of the Warren family also arrived, but including the skinny old man, there were only eight people, and two of them probably died in the previous mechanism.
"Grey Fergus..."
The eight people faced off against Gray, vaguely blocking Gray's retreat, with cold murderous intent radiating from their bodies.
"If you want to take action, just do it!"
Looking coldly at the skinny old man, Gray directly released the two barbarian-level blood beasts, blocking him like two huge walls.
This time, the Valen family sent a total of two wild-blood warriors. However, when they broke the rune mechanism before, one of them was seriously injured, so the only one who entered the cemetery was the skinny old man and one wild-blood warrior.
With this kind of strength, with his current strength, he can still suppress even the immobile barbarian-level blood beasts.
However, he noticed that there was a weapon on the waist of the thin old man. The handle was forged from a precious metal and inlaid with colored gems. It was obvious that this magic weapon was not simple.
This was probably a weapon that could be called a treasure of the Warren family. It was unknown how powerful it was, so he released two barbarian-level blood beasts so that they could be used as human shields at critical moments.
After taking a deep look at Gray, the skinny old man finally endured it and left the room on his own initiative without attacking Gray.
Gray put away the two barbarian-level blood beasts and quickly left the room he had searched for, searching for other rooms.
The Warren family has concerns, and he also has concerns.
The power of the magic weapon in the hand of the skinny old man is unknown, and even if he wants to kill the Warren family, he cannot do it here. After all, there are many families present, and he does not have the ability to kill all the family members.
One after another, people from various families who were left behind arrived one after another, but the number was less than eighty. Under the mechanism just now, more than ten people died.
But in contrast, the harvests of each family are also huge. The king's cemetery is full of treasures, and everything is of great value to everyone present.
After searching all the rooms and finding nothing, Gray followed the inner passage without hesitation and continued deeper inside. Others also made the same choice.
Crackling!
Suddenly, rune patterns flickered on the wall in the tunnel, and a ball of flame suddenly descended. A young man who was rushing forward was hit by the flames and turned into ashes.
And this was not the only flame, as if a mechanism had been triggered, large groups of flames were continuously attacking Gray and the others.
