So what do we do next?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen pointed to a section of text on the scroll: “It says that by touching the runes on the stone table in a specific sequence, we can dispel the poison gas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen’s understanding of the runes far exceeded her own, she left it to Luo Chen to operate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Carefully following the scroll’s instructions, Luo Chen touched the runes on the stone table. As he did so, the poison gas in the Stone Chamber began to gradually dissipate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two held their breath, waiting for the poison gas to completely vanish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the poison gas completely cleared away, restoring tranquility to the Stone Chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, knowing this was just a small test in their exploration of the ruins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deeper within, more unknown dangers and treasures awaited them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They continued forward, passing through the Stone Chamber, arriving at an even grander hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the hall stood a giant statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue seemed to be made from a special metal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Around its exterior, faint golden glows shimmered now and then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue exuded a unique aura, constantly emanating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this thing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood in the middle of the hall, their gaze captured by the enormous statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue appeared to be an ancient warrior, holding a longsword, majestic and solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the statue’s facial expression was indistinct, it still exuded an imposing aura without being angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This statue seems somewhat unusual.” Luo Chen said in a low voice, his eyes lingering on every detail of the statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, answering softly: “Yes, I’ve never seen this kind of material before, and the aura it emits makes me a little uneasy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two circled the statue slowly, trying to find any possible clues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen noticed what seemed to be some text engraved at the statue’s feet; he crouched down, carefully discerning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“These letters seem to be some sort of ancient curse, perhaps related to the statue’s function.” Luo Chen said, his fingers lightly brushing the text.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang also leaned in, attempting to decipher it: “If I’m not mistaken, this text should be a curse for controlling the statue; perhaps we can use it to activate the statue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up: “Let’s try it, but be careful; such ancient curses might have unexpected effects.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began reciting the curse in low tones, following the text’s instructions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the curse progressed, the statue started emitting slight tremors, and the golden glow grew increasingly bright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like our guess was right.” Excitement flickered in Luo Chen’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang remained vigilant, knowing anything could happen: “Keep going, Luo Chen, we need to see what function this statue serves.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the curse continued, the tremors from the statue grew more intense, and the golden light almost illuminated the entire hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, the eyes of the statue lit up with two beams of red light, as if it had come to life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Watch out!” Luo Chen shouted, quickly pulling Qing Shuang back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue’s arm slowly raised, the longsword pointing at Luo Chen and Qing Shuang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the statue began to move, heavy footsteps echoing in the hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The statue has been activated; it seems to see us as enemies.” Qing Shuang gripped her Ice Sword tightly, ready for combat at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen quickly assessed the situation: “We can’t confront it head-on; the statue’s strength is immense. We must find its weakness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, acknowledging Luo Chen’s judgment as correct.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two began maneuvering in the hall, looking for a chance to attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although powerful, the statue’s movements were relatively slow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took advantage of this, constantly dodging the statue’s attacks while searching for its vulnerabilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a fierce chase and skirmish, Luo Chen finally discovered a weak point on the statue’s chest, seemingly its core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qing Shuang, attack its chest!” Luo Chen shouted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang immediately understood Luo Chen’s intention, harnessing her mana to cast her strongest Ice Element spell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ice Sealing Thousand Blades!” At Qing Shuang’s call, countless ice blades flew towards the statue’s chest like torrential rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ice blades struck the statue’s core, causing the flickering light to become unstable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The statue’s movements suddenly became stiff, eventually ceasing altogether.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the motionless statue, finally sighing in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They exchanged a glance, their eyes reflecting exhaustion and relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew that the statue’s halt meant they had overcome yet another challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they also understood that the trials within the ruins were far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s take a break.” Luo Chen suggested, his voice carrying a note of weariness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They needed to regain their strength and spirit to face whatever might come next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finding a relatively safe corner, they sat down. Luo Chen retrieved some elixirs from his pouch and handed them to Qing Shuang: “These can help restore some of our strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang took the elixirs, looking at Luo Chen with gratitude, then she consumed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elixirs melted in the mouth, a warm flow coursing through her body, quickly alleviating her fatigue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Luo Chen, you really know a lot about these ancient mechanisms and runes.” Qing Shuang said softly, her tone carrying a hint of admiration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen smiled faintly, answering: “I’ve been interested in these things since I was young, and the elders in my family taught me a lot. However, this time, the ruins indeed exceeded my imagination. The knowledge and power within are far more complex than what we know.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang nodded, knowing that Luo Chen, despite his modesty, had undeniable talent and knowledge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt secretly fortunate to have a companion like Luo Chen on this journey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a short rest, Luo Chen and Qing Shuang stood up, ready to continue their exploration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew the depths of the ruins might conceal even more astonishing secrets.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s go.” Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, the two set on their journey, traversing through the hall, arriving at a dimly-lit corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls on both sides of the corridor were carved with various strange patterns and symbols, seemingly recounting an ancient story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen observed these patterns closely, trying to decipher some information from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qing Shuang remained on guard, her instincts telling her that unknown dangers might lurk within this corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a faint light appeared at the end of the corridor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen and Qing Shuang exchanged glances, knowing that the light might herald a new discovery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cautiously, they approached the source of the light, discovering it was a half-open Stone Gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the Stone Gate, there seemed to be an even more mysterious space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Chen gently pushed the door open, revealing a spacious room behind it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1400,"2026-06-03T12:44:57.024Z","2026-06-03T12:44:57.054Z",1,"novelbin.me","235c3f8b0e28f7eacb882ebbad38d2a684480790bae1b2df4adfa1406a9c42ab","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1675","immortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--chapter-1673",2094,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimmortality-cultivation-i-can-increase-my-stats--cover.jpg"]
