Chapter 312 Burial Complex

what's the situation?
This scene not only aroused doubt in Shen Bai's heart, but also made the million soldiers behind him look puzzled.

The middle-aged woman stared at the scene before her in disbelief.

She knew the terror of the Ten Forbidden Zones, especially this Giant Stone Forbidden Zone.

Although it cannot compare to the Desolate Forbidden Land in terms of fame, it still cannot overshadow the prestige of the Ten Forbidden Lands.

She knew she would be petrified, but what she didn't know was that even her own attacks would be completely petrified.

"I'll launch another attack, and I refuse to believe we can't kill him," the middle-aged woman said through gritted teeth.

Then, she gathered the power of her army once again and attacked Shen Bai again.

Shen Bai immediately became wary and prepared to retaliate.

But then that scene happened again.

Before the terrifying attack could even reach Shen Bai, it completely transformed into a giant boulder, crashing to the ground and shattering into pieces.

Shen Bai was slightly taken aback. He suddenly sensed something unusual about the stone tablet behind him. When he turned around, he saw that the stone tablet was flashing with light, which was gradually fading.

Then, Shen Bai felt something.

"It seems to be because of this stone tablet that the closer you get to it, the faster you petrify."

He took a moment to assess the situation and discovered that the rate at which his body was petrifying had doubled.

Especially the hands, which were covered with a thin layer of stone armor.

This stone armor did not appear out of thin air, but was formed from his skin.

Looking up, Shen Bai realized that not only him, but also the middle-aged woman and the feudal lords behind him, including the soldiers and generals, were all like him.

Regardless of their strength, at this moment, everyone is equal, equally petrified by the aura of this forbidden boulder.

After two unsuccessful attacks, the middle-aged woman and the million-strong army fell to the ground, staring at Shen Bai with cold and murderous eyes.

Shen Bai shrugged and said, "Looking at me like this won't do any good. You can't attack me, so how could you possibly kill me?"

The middle-aged woman gave a cold smile.

She knew that even the strongest attack would be useless at this moment, so she simply refrained from attacking for the time being and instead turned her gaze to the stone tablet next to her as she walked towards Shen Bai.

But before she could get close, Shen Bai used his Divine Speed ​​to travel thousands of miles, then lifted Han Yue and stabbed at the middle-aged woman.

The middle-aged woman was slightly taken aback. Just as she was about to retaliate, she discovered that the Cold Moon Thorn had no effect on her body.

Shen Bai sheathed his longsword and said, "Just as I thought, even pure physical attacks have no effect whatsoever."

When Han Yue stabbed the middle-aged woman, he felt a peculiar resistance.

This obstacle is inexplicable and inexplicable; it is simply due to the rules of this forbidden area of ​​giant rocks, rendering any attack ineffective.

Moreover, when Shen Bai launched his attack, he felt that the petrification process within his body seemed to accelerate slightly.

He had an idea in his mind.

Perhaps in this place, the less one circulates the Qi within the body, the less likely one is to be petrified.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai released all his defenses and then walked back to the stone tablet.

Sure enough, after he did this, he found that the rate at which his body petrified was reduced to an extreme.

Although it is still petrifying, it is much better than before.

The stone tablet was covered with dense text, but when Shen Bai looked up, he couldn't understand a single word.

The middle-aged woman and the hundreds of feudal lords had already walked up to the stone tablet and were examining the inscriptions with Shen Bai.

The scene was quite comical.

Originally, they were mortal enemies, but now that attacks were useless, they still had the leisure to gather together and observe the anomaly on the stone tablet.

After glancing at it briefly, Shen Bai looked at the middle-aged woman beside him and asked, "Can you read?"

The middle-aged woman snorted coldly: "The writing on this does not belong to any dynasty we know. It would be strange if I recognized it."

Often, you can't believe a single word the enemy says, and that's still true now.

Shen Bai, of course, did not believe what the middle-aged woman said.

Of course, he didn't care whether he recognized it or not, and began to examine the stone tablet.

Not only him, but all the other lords waved their hands, instructing their soldiers to search for clues everywhere.

One reason was to find a way to leave the forbidden area of ​​the giant rock, and the other was to find clues, break through the special circumstances of this place, and kill Shen Bai here.

After giving his instructions, the group of feudal lords followed Shen Bai's example and looked around the stone tablet.

After scanning it several times, Shen Bai still found nothing, but he stared at the unidentified characters on it and fell into deep thought.

The middle-aged woman asked, "What did you find?"

Shen Bai gave him a strange look and said, "What did I find out? Should I tell you? We're enemies, why should I tell you?"

These words left the middle-aged woman speechless.

But upon closer examination, what Shen Bai said actually makes sense.

We're all enemies, so why should we share intelligence with each other?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman ignored Shen Bai and continued her search.

The place is made up of piled-up stones, and it's easy to see at a glance.

Finding something couldn't be easier.

Since nothing has been found, it proves that there is nothing here.

Especially under the protection of Shen Bai's Void-Breaking Golden Eye, he did not detect anything unusual.

However, as Shen Bai stared at the stone tablet, a thought began to form in his mind.

Although he couldn't understand the characters on the stone tablet, there was a blank space every two or three characters.

Looking at it this way, Shen Pai felt as if names were engraved on the stone tablet.

Only the name can fully explain it, since these fonts with spaces are just too much like names.

An idea suddenly popped into Shen Bai's mind.

"The names are engraved on the stone tablet. Could this be a huge tomb?"

Thinking this way, Shen Bai became more and more certain of his guess.

But now that the tombstone is there, where is the grave?

Shen Bai turned his gaze to the ground.

If it were underground, perhaps that's possible.

Although Shen Bai possessed the Golden Eye of Breaking Void, which allowed him to cover the surrounding area, the underground depths were not covered very deeply.

Knowing he couldn't make any big movements to avoid attracting attention, he quietly and gradually reduced the range of his Void-Breaking Golden Eye.

First he searched the surrounding area, then the area above, and then he covered the entire searched area underground.

This greatly enhances the coverage area of ​​the Void-Breaking Golden Eye.

Under Shen Bai's gaze, Shen Bai then witnessed a scene that made his heart pound.

Far away from the stone tablet, there is a vast, empty underground space.

And within this underground space were terrifying tombs.

In front of each grave stands a stone tablet inscribed with characters that are difficult to decipher.

But generally speaking, it might just be the name.

In addition, each tomb exudes an ancient and desolate atmosphere.

Even though Shen Bai only glanced at it through the Void-Breaking Golden Eye, he felt an immense pressure coming at him.

Moreover, the combined pressure was even more terrifying than the pressure exerted on Shen Bai by the million-strong army behind him.

“It is truly a tomb; the entire Stone Forbidden Land is a giant tomb.”

Shen Bai immediately had an idea.

Then, he sensed something was wrong.

The underground tomb seemed to sense that Shen Bai was watching, and a force followed the Void-Breaking Golden Eye and locked onto Shen Bai.

Shen Bai took two steps back, his face turning pale.

He felt part of his internal organs petrifying, and all of this was because he had scanned the group of tombs below with his Void-Breaking Golden Eye.

At this moment, Shen Bai's unusual behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The middle-aged woman began to look her up and down.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Bai suddenly had an idea. Pointing to the area below the tombstone, he said, "There should be a burial site below this, since the name on this stone tablet looks too much like a name."

He decided to speak out.

Just now, after sensing the tomb through the Golden Eye of Breaking Void, I was almost completely petrified.

And this was just a glance.

What changes would occur if we approached in person?
Shen Bai didn't know, but he felt he could give it a try, because it was the only way he could escape.

While Shen Bai was speaking, he also used the Hunyuan Gua Technique to begin his calculations.

A golden expanse before your eyes signifies great fortune.

If Shen Bai continues with this plan, he can reap the benefits.

After hearing Shen Bai's words, the middle-aged woman frowned and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Since Shen Bai spoke first, she naturally took the opportunity to ask him the same question.

Although she knew that Shen Bai was hiding a lot of bad things, she thought that communicating with him now might yield some useful information.

It could also be information that they killed Shen Bai and escaped from the Giant Stone Forbidden Land.

Shen Bai glanced at the middle-aged woman and said, "What else can we do? Go down and take a look. Staying here means certain death."

The middle-aged woman sneered, "You want to lure us down there so you can use that opportunity to escape, right?"

Shen Bai said speechlessly, "What do you mean I should lead you down? There's only one way now. Otherwise, you should leave this stone tablet and find another way."

"If we don't want to leave, we'll have to go down there."

The middle-aged woman pointed to the stone tablet: "Okay, you go down first, and then we'll follow you down."

Shen Bai gave him a speechless look: "You seem to have misunderstood something. It's not about who goes down first. I can choose not to go down; we can all die together. Do you want to die together too?"

The room fell silent immediately after these words were spoken.

The middle-aged woman sensed the silence, looked at the surrounding lords, and her expression changed slightly.

She knew that Shen Bai seemed to have gained control at this moment. Because Shen Bai was alone, he could make any decision he wanted.

There are a lot of people here, and it's possible that some of them might actually be considering going down there.

This is the uncontrollability that arises when the number of people increases, and it's a helpless measure that has no other choice.

If even one person develops an abnormal mindset, then they will face unpredictable dangers when dealing with Shen Bai.

As a local lord, the middle-aged woman understood very well that such a small mistake could lead to a huge mess, so after seeing the looks in the eyes of the other lords, she made a decision.

"Go down and have a look."

Several feudal lords showed a hint of solemnity in their eyes.

Everyone here has risen to the position of a regional ruler, but in reality, each of them harbors extremely deep cunning.

They all knew that the middle-aged woman had no other choice but to make this decision.

This was the only path they had to take; otherwise, if they stayed here and wasted their time with Shen Bai, they would all die.

Otherwise, leave this stone tablet and seek other hopes of survival.

However, if they really leave this stone tablet, Shen Bai will be let go by them again.

They had planned for so long, even swore an oath before the Blood Eater Bead, but now they had let Shen Bai escape. They were filled with resentment.

Shen Bai must die, and they must find a way out.

Therefore, there is only one way: explore this stone tablet and see what is inside it.

However, Shen Bai is a big problem.

One of the feudal lords stepped forward, coldly glancing at Shen Bai, and said, "If we go down, and you don't follow, wouldn't we be letting you escape for nothing?"

Shen Bai smiled slightly: "Then there's nothing I can do. I'll go down if I want to, and if I don't, it's just waiting to die. Anyway, I've never been afraid of death since I came from Shengyun County. If you don't believe me, you can wait here with me."

Every word Shen Bai uttered was venomous, but the feudal lord who spoke revealed a cold smile upon hearing Shen Bai's words.

"If we all die, you won't survive either, so let's go down together."

As soon as he finished speaking, the lord raised his right hand and pressed it onto the pile of rocks on the ground.

At this moment, the power of the military formation suddenly erupted, and with the right hand of the feudal lord as the center, it quickly blasted the pile of rocks into pieces.

However, its power was far, far less than one ten-thousandth of the light pillar that had just been formed.

After all, this is a forbidden area of ​​giant rocks, where any attack will turn the target to stone.

He placed it so close to the ground that even though it was practically touching the ground, it was still quite petrified.

The ground was blasted apart, and a huge crater gradually spread out.

Shen Bai frowned. He felt his feet sink into the air and used his Divine Travel ability to hover in the sky.

The other feudal lords also did the same thing as Shen Bai.

Below was a vast space that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Besides this vast space, there is also a bottomless hole.

Shen Bai had previously used his Void-Breaking Golden Eye to sense that the bottomless hole contained the burial complex he had just explored.

As soon as the large hole appeared, a terrifying suction force immediately emerged.

Everyone present was unable to resist and was quickly sucked into the huge pit.

Shen Bai finally understood what the feudal lords were thinking, and he also realized that those who could become feudal lords in this world were not fools.

The feudal lords wanted to exploit the rules of this forbidden area of ​​giant stones to drag themselves into trouble.

That move just now was clearly meant to test if anything unusual would happen after blasting open this place.

This has indeed fulfilled the feudal lords' wishes, because even Shen Bai could not resist this terrifying suction force.

Soon, everyone disappeared into the pitch-black hole, and there was no one left on the stone tablet.

……

Shen Bai felt a sudden darkness before his eyes and immediately activated his Void-Piercing Golden Eye, taking in everything around him.

The sharp sound of the wind reached his ears, indicating that he was falling steadily, heading towards the burial grounds below.

At this moment, that desolate and terrifying aura was gradually building up.

At the same time, his million-strong army also fell with him.

The feudal lords, led by the middle-aged woman, rallied their forces and formed a defensive formation on the surface, making a show of resistance.

Shen Bai and the feudal lords' actions are accelerating the petrification process.

Shen Bai felt his joints gradually becoming stiff.

Fortunately, the burial grounds descended from here without taking much time to descend.

Once everyone landed safely, they immediately removed their protective gear to slow down the petrification process.

Ahead stood rows of tombs, each with a stone tablet in front of it, bearing inscriptions incomprehensible to the general public, recording the life of each deceased person.

As soon as everyone came down, a terrifying shadow immediately enveloped them all.

This terrifying aura made even Shen Bai and the other nobles present feel as if they were being pricked by needles when it swept over them.

"That's the feeling I just had."

Shen Bai felt something.

He knew that when he had scanned this place with his Golden Eye of Breaking Void before, he had the same feeling, as if these tombs were targeting them.

However, as soon as Shen Bai withdrew his full defense, he immediately found that the so-called sense of being targeted had disappeared.

Seeing this strange phenomenon, Shen Bai already knew the answer in his heart.

"It's targeting people who want to destroy tombs."

After careful comparison, Shen Bai felt that this answer was reliable.

There seems to be some kind of rule here. If you try to unleash your strength, the aura in the tomb will judge that you want to cause damage here, and you will be immediately locked onto by that aura.

If they really make a move, it will probably turn everything into ruins in an instant.

Several feudal lords reacted a little slower than Shen Bai, and suddenly screams rang out.

Everyone quickly turned their gazes over and saw that the feudal lords were rapidly turning to stone from the soles of their feet.

In the blink of an eye, they turned into several stone sculptures, standing on the tomb, devoid of any life.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman shouted, "Don't reveal your strength, or you'll be targeted!"

Upon hearing this, the other feudal lords quickly realized what was happening.

But they were a little too late; half of their bodies had been completely petrified.

Fortunately, everyone involved was a top-notch expert, so even so, it did not affect the operation.

Shen Bai wished they were all dead, but he was quite happy that a few of them had died first.

But his attention was not on the group of people; instead, he focused his gaze on the stone tablet in front of him.

The various tombs may appear extremely simple, but their eerie atmosphere should not be ignored.

Adding to the incomprehensible writing on the stone tablet, Shen Bai wondered who had buried them all here.

Without using his own power, Shen Bai would not be attacked by these auras, so he wandered around inside the stone tablet.

He carefully examined each grave.

He didn't use his Void-Breaking Golden Eye to look again, because he had almost been petrified when he tried to look earlier.

This time, he can distinguish things with the naked eye and will not be threatened.

After a moment's thought, the middle-aged woman waved her hand and said, "Don't use your own abilities. Carefully check for any clues."

This is a forbidden area of ​​giant rocks, so mysterious and enigmatic that we can only use the most primitive methods.

But the middle-aged woman was also confident, because when they used the most primitive method, there were many people here, while there was only one Shen Bai.

She was confident that she could find clues here before Shen Bai discovered it.

If they could break through this point, and even launch their own attack, then Shen Bai would die first.

Even with a million soldiers, the tomb didn't feel crowded at all.

This shows that the sheer number of graves here is astonishing.

Shen Bai couldn't finish reading it all by himself, but he wasn't in a hurry because the Wuji Gua Technique before him told him that he was perfectly safe at the moment.

Under the guidance of the feudal lords, the soldiers began to inspect each tomb one by one.

They were also very cautious and did not attempt to dig up the grave, but instead carefully examined its exterior.

After about half an hour, nothing was found.

At this moment, whether it was Shen Bai or the other feudal lords, although the petrification process within their bodies was slow, one-third of their bodies had already completely turned into stone.

Shen Bai tried it and found that even when he circulated the Qi in his body, it became quite stagnant.

"Don't give up yet. Otherwise, leave this place quickly. There might still be a chance to survive," Shen Bai said, looking at the middle-aged woman.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman sneered, "As long as you don't leave, we won't leave either. Otherwise, if we can't kill you, and we end up burying you here, wouldn't that be a complete waste?"

Shen Bai smiled slightly: "Then I can't control you guys. But if you can control yourself, are you sure you can control the others?"

The middle-aged woman was slightly taken aback, then her expression changed drastically as she turned her gaze to the other feudal lords.

Most of the feudal lords appeared normal, though their eyes showed anxiety, they made no move.

However, more than ten of the feudal lords exhibited unusual behavior.

At this moment, a hint of madness appeared in his eyes.

The middle-aged woman knew that under the pressure of death, someone was about to give out.

In addition, there are many people here, and it's impossible to control everyone's mentality. Something bad is probably going to happen soon.

At this moment, one of the feudal lords, as if possessed, spread his arms wide and lunged at one of the tombs, shouting, "I can't take it anymore! Rather than sit and wait to die, I'd rather fight to the death and let me see what's in this forbidden area!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the feudal lords plunged their hands into the tomb, wanting to throw it away completely.

At this moment, something unusual suddenly occurred.

A withered hand emerged from the tomb and gripped the lord's neck.

In an instant, before anyone could react, the feudal lord was dragged into the grave.

A sudden sound rang out, mixed with the screams of the feudal lords, which was terrifying.

In just a few breaths, the screams of the feudal lords gradually faded away.
