Looking out at a glance, under the gloomy sky, rows upon rows of tombstones stood, with at least a thousand aligned in dense succession.

Strangely shaped black trees clustered around, like black wooden guards watching over the tomb.

Su Mu stood still for a long moment, lost in thought, and only then did he come to his senses, the slight intoxication he felt earlier now evaporated.

Subsequently, he treaded upon the soft, charred soil, step by step moving toward the tomb park.

Once he stepped into the tomb park completely, he turned around to look back. Those eerie black mists were cut off at the edge of the graveyard, as if afraid to come in, or perhaps guarding this piece of cemetery.

Su Mu walked up to a tombstone, only to discover that the stone wasn't large, not even taller than himself.

Getting closer, he tried to find any inscription on the tombstone, hoping to find some information, for when people die, they usually leave their names on the surface of tombstones, as well as engravings of their descendants, for the convenience of the living in paying their respects.

However, there was no writing on the face of the tombstone, just some very shallow marks—uncertain whether they were beast scratches or sword marks—overall, very chaotic and disorderly.

Su Mu extended his right hand to touch the surface of the stone, instantly feeling an icy chill spread throughout his whole body and soul, prompting him to hurriedly pull back his hand.

It seemed that the soul-piercing chill he felt earlier outside, originated from here.

He didn't know what material this tombstone was made of; just touching it with his hand, it felt extremely cold.

At this time, Su Mu pulled out a silver dagger, intending to cut a small piece to take back for study.

But he found that he couldn't cut it!

This was the first time Su Mu encountered something that even the silver dagger couldn't cut through.

No matter how hard Su Mu applied force, he could only leave a shallow knife mark, yet couldn't cut it off.

The silver dagger was Su Mu's sharpest weapon, although he obtained quite a few good treasures through plundering and lotteries, in terms of sharpness, his silver dagger was unparalleled, far beyond others.

...

Su Mu walked around the tombstone park, counting, and found precisely about three thousand tombstones.

All these tombstones were the same, with no inscriptions on the tombstone surfaces.

This type of tombstone without inscriptions is called a "nameless tombstone."

There are two kinds of "nameless tombstones."

One is because when a person dies, the burying individuals can't locate any identity information of the deceased, hence, a nameless tombstone is erected.

The other is when the burying individuals know the identity of the deceased, but deliberately don't leave identity information to protect the deceased, to prevent grave robbers; such nameless tombstones are usually used to bury people of very high status.

Here lie three thousand tombstones, surely originating from the same family, or if not from the same family, then from the same source.

Because Su Mu observed that the arrangement of the burials here was meticulously planned, unlike the disorderly burial of a chaotic grave.

Thus, ruling out the first possibility.

It means the three thousand people buried here were all of extremely high status!

This intrigued Su Mu further.

If the tombstones were inscribed, out of respect and politeness, Su Mu might not have considered grave digging.

But without any information on the tombstones, Su Mu was extremely curious.

As everyone knows, people are like this, the more mysterious something is, the more they want to solve the puzzle.

The overwhelming curiosity finally overcame Su Mu's rationality.

Hands freezing, hands freezing!

Su Mu donned gloves and retrieved a pure white ghost face mask from the space ring, putting it on his face.

Although this place was deserted, preparations must be done properly, it was a good professional habit.

Frequent grave-digging friends know, even when digging graves in desolate mountains and barren hills, one needs to be fully armed, exposing only an eye.

After equipping adequately, Su Mu selected a tombstone at random, as they were all identical in appearance.

Before digging, Su Mu first approached the tombstone, placed his hands together, and said to the tombstone, "I apologize, perhaps this is a bit of an offense."

"But rest assured, I only take treasures, I won't disturb anything else."

"Apologies, apologies."

While speaking, Su Mu climbed atop the mound, extracting a Luoyang shovel from the space ring, which he had won from a lottery, it lay unused in a pile of miscellaneous items, little did he expect to use it today!

As he dug, with a shove of the spade, it seemed to hit something hard, and the shovel broke.

The strong recoil almost made Su Mu lose his footing, nearly tumbling off the grave.

With the shovel broken, Su Mu crouched down and began digging by hand.

After digging for about an hour, he finally unearthed a coffin.

The coffin was white, seemingly made of bones into a bone coffin, and extraordinarily large - Su Mu had dug about three meters long and two meters wide, yet only a corner of the bone coffin was revealed, roughly estimating it occupied just one-third of the entirety.

For such a small tombstone, it was a vast coffin.

Is The Hulk buried inside? Such a colossal coffin!

...

Su Mu continued digging, about ten meters long and five meters wide, finally revealing the full appearance of the white bone coffin.

Squatting down, carefully examining the surface of the bone coffin, there were thin, filamentous patterns, the unique bone pattern of humans, which meant the bone coffin was made of human bones!

Moreover, terrifyingly, every bone on it was of the same kind, the cervical vertebra!

One person possesses only one cervical vertebra.

Yet this enormous bone coffin was created from at least thousands of cervical vertebrae, implying that thousands of people were deliberately killed to bury the person inside??

Careful consideration is horrifying, for the burial of the person inside, so many were slaughtered.

.....

Su Mu extended his right hand, touching one by one the cervical vertebrae, his pupils suddenly contracted.

He unexpectedly sensed an immensely vast vital blood force in each cervical vertebra!

Who knows how many years this tomb has been buried here; judging by the decayed scent in the air, it has been absolutely many, many years, be it decades, centuries, or millennia?

Yet after all these years, a cervical vertebra removed from the flesh for countless years still retained such an immense vital blood force.

Judging from this, how powerful were the originals of these cervical vertebrae?!

.....

Su Mu took several deep breaths, only feeling his heart pounding.

The next moment, he reached into his sleeve, pulling out the silver dagger, stabbing down at the surface of the bone coffin, easily penetrating it.

He grasped the hilt, slowly slicing downward.

Just like that, he sliced out a one-meter-long opening.

Su Mu reached out both hands, gripping the gap, snapping it open with force.

Bong——

The bone coffin was instantly forced open, creating a large gap, Su Mu stood atop the bone coffin, gazing into the interior of the coffin.

Whatever he saw, Su Mu froze instantly.

A gust of wind, from an unknown direction, swept through the cemetery, fluttering the hem of Su Mu's clothing.
