"A King's Tomb?"
Gray was quite surprised. It had only been a little over a year, and yet another King's Tomb had appeared. This was a very rare occurrence in the Purple Moon Kingdom's history. However, when he thought about the various changes that had occurred recently, he did not find this strange.
"Well done!"
Gray nodded with satisfaction. The King's Tomb was indeed something he was very interested in.
After asking about the location, Gray left the caravan's station. He used the power of blood to form a pair of black wings and rushed towards the King's Tomb.
The caravan was not the only one who had heard the news. Many other forces had also received the news. He had to hurry over as soon as possible to avoid being beaten to it.
After flying for an hour, Gray flew into a forest. The King's Tomb was in this forest.
It was not a very large forest, only covering an area of two or three miles. The reason why the King's Tomb had not been discovered before seemed to be because of the rune mechanism's camouflage effect. However, this effect had disappeared for some reason.
"Someone has arrived before me!"
Because it was winter, the road and ground were covered in snow. Along the way, Gray found many footprints, all of which were heading towards this forest. Obviously, someone had arrived before him.
Sure enough, when he arrived at the forest where the King's Tomb was suspected to be, he immediately saw many people. These people were scattered, confronting each other and guarding against each other. They were obviously from different forces.
Fortunately, these people were not able to enter the King's Tomb. The reason for this was that he had already seen the King's Tomb, and he had already seen that there were no signs of the tomb being broken.
In the middle of an open space, a huge tomb stood a few meters tall, like a small hill.
The huge tomb and the surrounding ground were all green. It looked like it was piled up and paved with green stones, but in fact, it was not. There was a jade-like luster on the green stone. This was not ordinary green stone, but wind jade.
This was a type of gemstone that had a strong affinity with wind-attribute runes. It was a precious rune material, and its value was no less than magic coins of the same size. The tomb and even the surrounding ground were paved with this kind of wind jade. The owner of the tomb was extraordinarily rich.
Based on this alone, Gray could already be sure that this was the tomb of a king-level powerhouse. Only a king-level powerhouse could be so rich to build a tomb with wind jade.
"Someone else is coming, but this time it's only one person!"
Gray's arrival immediately attracted the attention of the other forces that had arrived first. They could not help but look at Gray.
"He flew here. Looks like he's not weak!"
The way Gray descended from the sky with wings on his back made the other forces understand that Gray's strength was definitely not weak. Out of caution, the few forces that arrived first all watched.
For a moment, the scene was silent. No one actually made a sound.
Since these forces didn't provoke him, Gray naturally wouldn't provoke them either. He walked straight towards the tomb.
"This guy is going to suffer!"
"There's going to be a good show!"
Some factions discussed in low voices, but they didn't step forward to stop them. The mechanisms of the Tomb of the Kings weren't that easy to break.
Since they were the first to arrive, it was naturally impossible for them to not test the waters. Their forces had sent an elder of the Barbarian Blood Warriors to test the waters, but he had suffered a great loss. If he had not reacted quickly, it was very likely that he would have died under the runic mechanisms in the tomb.
"Is it him …?"
There were also some factions that stared at Gray's back with a grave expression.
They had never seen Gray before, but they had heard of Gray's appearance and characteristics. They had already guessed Gray's identity.
Pa, pa, pa!
Gray stepped into the area paved with wind jade.
In an instant, it was as if something had come alive. On the ground and on the tomb, numerous black lines appeared. They were densely packed, like countless moving ants. It made one's scalp tingle.
Swish!
A green wind blade appeared, tearing through the air and slashing towards Gray. Gray punched out, instantly shattering the green wind blade. However, this was just the beginning.
Swish, swish, swish!
More wind blades appeared, all of them slashing towards Gray.
Clang, clang, clang!
Having judged that these wind blades were not a threat, Gray simply didn't bother to block them and allowed them to slash his body.
The sound of metal clashing continued. Other than his clothes being torn, Gray didn't have any injuries on his body.
Just like that, he braved the wind blades. His speed wasn't fast, but he slowly and firmly walked towards the tomb.
"It's really him!"
Seeing this scene, the factions that were still guessing about Gray's identity immediately confirmed it.
There was no other person with black hair and blue eyes who had such powerful strength in the entire Purple Moon Kingdom.
"He actually withstood the wind blades' attack with just his physical body?"
"How strong is his physical body?"
Some powers were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. His appearance was so young, yet he possessed such powerful strength. Could it be that the other party was an expert of the older generation who appeared young?
"Gray Fergus, he's Gray Fergus!"
Some factions suddenly remembered Gray's identity and couldn't help but feel lucky that they didn't intercept him and clash with him. Otherwise, they would be in trouble.
Moving forward against the wind blades, Gray soon approached the tomb. At this time, the wind blades attacking him became stronger.
Whoosh!
A wind blade that was only a meter long but extremely solid as if it was polished from wind jade slashed towards Gray.
Clang!
This was an attack that had reached the third level of the desolate level. Fortunately, Gray's metalized defense had reached the peak of the first level of the King level, so he was able to block this attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
More and more wind blades like this attacked. Each of them was only one to two meters long, but they were extremely solid, as if they were made of wind jade.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Gray braved these wind blades that were enough to make the Desolate Blood warriors' hair stand on end and walked towards the huge tomb.
Even if a King was already dead, they couldn't be disturbed. Therefore, their tombs were usually built in secret places with extremely powerful rune mechanisms.
If there was no one who knew how to break the rune mechanisms in this tomb, even a third level desolate level expert would have a hard time, unless they had a silver weapon.
Now that he thought about it, it was fortunate that the Addison family had invited a rune master to enter the tomb. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to enter.
Thump, thump, thump!
Braving the wind blades, Gray knocked on the huge bluestone wall of the tomb, searching for the entrance by the sound. Soon, he found the location of the entrance.
With his hand wrapped in black mist, Gray punched towards the location.
Boom!
The tomb and its surroundings shook violently. The strong wind from the explosion even caused people from the nearby factions to tumble out like gourds.
Under Gray's punch, a clear fist imprint appeared on the wall of the tomb. Traces of cracks spread out, but the tomb did not break. There were black lines on the wall. It was these black lines that reinforced the wall.
"Quite sturdy!"
Gray didn't care. He waved his left and right hands, smashing the wall.
Boom, boom, boom!
After smashing more than ten times, with a cracking sound, the wall shattered and collapsed. An entrance large enough for one person to pass through appeared, and Gray strode in.
"He's successfully entered!"
Seeing Gray disappear into the tomb, the people from the other factions were full of envy. They wanted to follow him, but they did not dare.
One reason was that they were afraid of provoking Gray. Another reason was that the wind blades outside blocked their path. They could not get close at all. They did not have a defense as strong as Gray's.
Peng, peng, peng!
At this moment, they suddenly saw a figure quickly descend from the sky.
"A King level powerhouse!"
Everyone was shocked. The way the other party rushed through the air was using the void as a staircase. This was clearly the mark of a King level powerhouse.
There was a staircase at the entrance. Following the staircase, Gray entered the tomb. With his night vision, he could clearly see the situation around him.
He was at the beginning of a passage. The passage curved downwards. Obviously, the tomb was deep underground.
Rumble, rumble, rumble!
Grey followed the passageway forward. Along the way, all kinds of rune mechanisms attacked him one after another.
Crimson flames, blue lightning, and hazy ice ….
However, Gray relied on his strong defense to block them all. He easily passed through.
After going down a few dozen meters, Gray appeared in a room. The path here had been cut off. This should be the final tomb.
Rather than calling it a tomb, it was better to call it a reception room. The furnishings in the room were completely in the style of a noble's reception room.
There was no coffin, but Gray was sure this was a tomb. He had already seen what a tomb should have.
A purple flame appeared and floated in front of Gray. The entire tomb became clearer in front of Gray. Although he could see with his infrared perception, it was not as clear as with his eyes.
In front of him, facing the direction Gray had come from, there was a skeleton sitting on a metal throne. Although the skeleton's clothes had decayed, they did not fall off.
The skeleton's head and hands were exposed. They were jade-like and emitted a faint pressure.
"The skeleton of a king-level powerhouse!"
Through the pressure, Gray determined that it was the ribs of a king-level powerhouse.
He walked forward and quickly noticed a pouch with golden patterns on the man's waist.
"A rune space bag!"
Gray, who was very familiar with these patterns, immediately determined that it was a rune space bag.
He took the rune space bag and checked the skeleton's body. After confirming that there was nothing else, Gray sent a trace of blood energy into the golden patterns. He was ready to check the contents of the rune space bag.
Whoosh!
At that moment, he suddenly heard the sound of a mechanism being activated. He turned around and saw a figure rushing into the room with the rune mechanism.
