Immortality Cultivation: I can use my clansmen’s energy and blood to add points.

"Is this puppet immortal?" Luo Chen was shocked.

Qingshuang also noticed something was wrong. She knew that she had to find the core of the puppet in order to completely destroy it.

"Luo Chen, attack its head!" Qingshuang shouted loudly.

Luo Chen understood immediately. He quickly adjusted his position and aimed the Blood Blade at the puppet's head.

However, the puppet seemed to be aware of the danger and began to swing its wooden sword in an attempt to stop Luo Chen's attack.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang were once again engaged in a fierce battle.

They must find opportunities among the puppet's attacks while dodging its every swing.

After a fierce confrontation, Luo Chen finally found a gap. He leaped up, and the Blood Blade drew a bloody light in the air, hitting the puppet's head accurately.

With a loud bang, the puppet's head was smashed by the Blood Blade and its movements suddenly stopped.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the puppet lying on the ground and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew this was just one of many challenges in the ruins.

There may be more unknown dangers and opportunities hidden deep in the ruins.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other, with determination flashing in their eyes.

They knew that only by moving forward could they uncover the secrets of this ancient relic.

Luo Chen picked up a piece of broken wood from the ground, which was the remains of the puppet's head.

He carefully observed the runes on the wood chip, trying to find some clues.

Qingshuang was on guard at the side, she knew that there might be other puppets or other forms of guardians in the ruins.

"These runes seem similar to the runes we saw at the entrance to the ruins before." Luo Chen said, with a hint of thought in his voice.

Qing Shuang nodded. She also noticed this: "It seems that we have to be more careful. These runes may be related to the defense mechanism of the ruins."

Luo Chen put the wood chips away and prepared to study them carefully later.

They continued to move forward along the passage, taking every step carefully, for fear of triggering some trap or mechanism.

The passage gradually became wider and the runes on the walls became more complex.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang discovered that they seemed to be approaching the core area of ​​the ruins.

Suddenly, a huge stone gate appeared in front of them, covered with complicated runes and mechanisms.

Luo Chen walked forward and carefully observed the runes on the stone door, trying to find a way to open it.

Qingshuang provided help. Although her understanding of runes was not as profound as Luo Chen's, her intuition could often provide some useful clues.

After some effort, Luo Chen finally found the correct way to open the stone door.

He touched the runes in a specific order, and the stone door slowly opened.

Behind the door is a narrow passage.

There is only one way through the passage, and that is forward.

However, Luo Chen vaguely felt that there seemed to be a lot of crises hidden in this passage.

"Leave or go?"

Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood in front of the stone gate. Their eyes met. They could feel each other's hesitation and determination without words.

Luo Chen took a deep breath and said slowly: "We have come this far. If we give up now, all our previous efforts will be in vain. However, this passage is full of dangers. We must prepare for the worst."

Qingshuang tightly grasped the ice sword and nodded. Her voice was firm and calm: "I understand, Luo Chen, no matter what lies ahead, we must face it together. This is not the first time we have faced such a situation."

Luo Chen smiled slightly, with a hint of warmth in his eyes: “You are right.”

The two of them stepped side by side into the passage behind the stone door. The passage was dark and narrow, only enough for one person to pass through.

The walls were engraved with ancient runes, emitting a faint light, illuminating the way forward.

Luo Chen walked in front, and Qingshuang followed closely behind. The two moved forward cautiously, alert to any danger that might arise.

After walking for a while, the passage suddenly became wider and a huge stone chamber appeared in front.

In the center of the stone chamber stands a huge stone platform, on which is placed an ancient scroll.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at each other and saw a hint of curiosity and vigilance in each other's eyes.

"Be careful, there may be a trap here." Luo Chen warned in a low voice.

Qingshuang nodded and began to cast spells, trying to sense the surrounding environment.

Her magic power spread out like ripples, but it didn't seem to trigger any mechanism.

Luo Chen walked slowly towards the stone platform, and every step he took was extremely cautious.

As he approached the stone platform, the scroll suddenly emitted an extremely dazzling light.

The light and color are extremely strange.

Then a poisonous mist was released.

This poisonous fog is not an ordinary thing.

Even if a cultivator were to touch it, he would be killed in an instant.

"Danger!!!"

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang retreated quickly. They knew how powerful the poisonous fog was and did not dare to be careless.

Luo Chen took out a piece of talisman paper from his arms, quickly drew a talisman on it, and then threw it into the air.

The talisman turned into a golden light in the air, forming a transparent shield that isolated the poisonous fog outside.

"This poisonous fog is serious. We must deal with it carefully." Luo Chen said solemnly.

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen’s talisman could temporarily resist the poisonous fog, but such a talisman could not last long.

She began to recite a spell in her mind, preparing to cast a powerful ice spell to freeze the poisonous fog.

"Ice restriction!" Qingshuang shouted softly, and her magic power condensed into countless ice crystals in the air, covering the poisonous fog.

The moment the ice crystals came into contact with the poisonous fog, a hissing sound was heard and the poisonous fog was quickly frozen into ice cubes and then fell down.

Luo Chen felt a little relieved when he saw the effect of Qingshuang's spell.

He knew that Qingshuang's ice magic was uniquely effective in dealing with this kind of poisonous gas.

"We have to find a way to remove the poisonous fog as soon as possible." Luo Chen said, his eyes once again falling on the ancient scroll on the stone platform.

Qingshuang also understood that the scroll might be the key to controlling the poisonous fog.

She approached the stone platform carefully, gently touching the air around the scroll with her ice sword to make sure there was no other danger.

Luo Chen began to study the words on the scroll. These words were ancient and complex, and seemed to contain some powerful power.

He read it attentively, trying to find a way to control the poisonous fog.

Time passed minute by minute, and Luo Chen finally deciphered part of the contents on the scroll.

He discovered that the scroll was actually an ancient mechanical control console, which recorded how to pass through the stone chamber safely.

"Qingshuang, I found it!" Luo Chen said excitedly.

Qingshuang turned her head, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes: "Really? Then what should we do next?"

Luo Chen pointed to a passage on the scroll: "It says here that as long as you touch the runes on the stone platform in a specific order, you can remove the poisonous fog." Qingshuang nodded. She knew that Luo Chen's understanding of runes far exceeded hers, so she let Luo Chen do it.

Luo Chen carefully followed the instructions on the scroll and touched the runes on the stone platform. As he moved, the poisonous fog in the stone chamber began to slowly dissipate.

The two held their breath, waiting for the poisonous fog to completely disappear.

Finally, the poisonous fog completely dissipated and the stone chamber returned to peace.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that this was just a small test in their exploration of the ruins.

Deep in the ruins, more unknown dangers and treasures are waiting for them.

They continued walking, through the stone chamber, and came to an even more magnificent hall.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge statue.

The statue appears to be made of a special metal.

The surface of the statue was faintly flashing with brilliant golden light.

There is a unique aura constantly emanating from the statue.

"What is this?"

Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood in the middle of the hall, their eyes attracted by the huge statue.

The statue seems to be an ancient warrior, holding a sword, majestic and solemn.

Although the facial expression of the statue is blurred, one can still feel its majestic aura.

"This statue seems a little unusual." Luo Chen whispered, his eyes lingering on every detail of the statue.

Qing Shuang nodded and replied softly, "Yes, I have never seen the material of this statue before, and the aura it exudes makes me feel a little uneasy."

The two walked slowly around the statue, trying to find any possible clues.

Luo Chen noticed that there seemed to be some words engraved at the foot of the statue. He squatted down and identified them carefully.

"These words seem to be some kind of ancient spell, perhaps related to the purpose of the statue." Luo Chen said, his fingers gently brushing over the words.

Qingshuang also came over and tried to decipher the words: "If I'm not mistaken, these words should be the spells that control the statue. Perhaps we can use them to activate the statue."

Luo Chen pondered for a moment, then slowly stood up: "Let's give it a try, but be careful, this ancient spell may have unexpected effects."

The two began to recite the spell in a low voice according to the instructions on the text.

As the spell progressed, the statue began to vibrate slightly and the golden light grew brighter and brighter.

"It seems that our guess is correct." A hint of excitement flashed in Luo Chen's eyes.

Qing Shuang remained alert, knowing that anything could happen: "Go on, Luo Chen, we have to see what this statue does."

As the spell continued, the statue's vibrations became stronger and stronger, and the golden light almost illuminated the entire hall.

Suddenly, two red lights appeared in the eyes of the statue, as if it had come alive.

"Be careful!" Luo Chen shouted and pulled Qingshuang back quickly.

The statue's arm slowly raised, and the sword in its hand pointed at Luo Chen and Qingshuang.

Then the statue began to move, and its heavy footsteps echoed in the hall.

"This statue has been activated, and it seems to regard us as enemies." Qingshuang tightly grasped the ice sword, ready to fight at any time.

Luo Chen quickly analyzed the situation: "We can't fight it head-on. The statue is very powerful. We must find its weakness."

Qingshuang nodded, she knew that Luo Chen's judgment was correct.

The two began to circle the statue in the hall, looking for an opportunity to attack.

Although the statue is powerful, its movements are relatively slow.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang took advantage of this and kept dodging the statue's attacks while looking for its flaws.

After a fierce chase and confrontation, Luo Chen finally discovered a faint light spot on the chest of the statue, which seemed to be its core.

"Qingshuang, attack its chest!" Luo Chen shouted.

Qingshuang immediately understood Luo Chen's intention. She concentrated her magic power and cast the strongest ice spell.

"Thousands of Ice Blades!" As Qingshuang shouted, countless ice blades flew towards the statue's chest like a rainstorm.

The ice blade hit the core of the statue, and the faint light began to flicker.

The statue's movements suddenly became stiff and finally stopped.

Luo Chen and Qing Shuang looked at the motionless statue and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other, their eyes flashing with fatigue and relief.

They knew that the statue's cessation meant they had successfully overcome another hurdle.

However, they also know that the challenges in the ruins are far from over.

"Let's take a break." Luo Chen suggested, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

Qingshuang nodded.

They need to recover their physical and mental strength to face whatever may come next.

The two found a relatively safe corner to sit down. Luo Chen took out some pills from his arms and handed them to Qing Shuang: "These can help us recover some strength."

Qingshuang took the pill, looked at Luo Chen with gratitude, and then swallowed it.

The pill melted in her mouth, and a warm current flowed through her body, quickly relieving her fatigue.

"Luo Chen, you know so much about these ancient mechanisms and runes." Qingshuang said softly, with a hint of admiration in her tone.

Luo Chen smiled slightly and replied, "I have been interested in these things since I was a child, and my elders at home have taught me a lot. However, this time the ruins are indeed beyond my imagination. The knowledge and power contained in them are far more complicated than we know."

Qingshuang nodded. She knew that although Luo Chen was modest, his talent and knowledge were unquestionable.

She secretly felt fortunate to have a companion like Luo Chen.

After resting for a while, Luo Chen and Qingshuang stood up and prepared to continue exploring.

They knew that even more shocking secrets might be hidden deep within the ruins.

"Let's go." Luo Chen said, his voice full of determination.

The two set out on their journey again, walked through the hall, and came to a dark corridor.

On the walls on both sides of the corridor, there are various strange patterns and symbols carved, which seem to be telling an ancient story.

Luo Chen observed these patterns carefully, trying to interpret some information from them.

Qingshuang was on guard at the side. Her intuition told her that there might be unknown dangers lurking in this corridor.

Suddenly, a faint light appeared at the end of the corridor.

Luo Chen and Qingshuang looked at each other. They knew that the light might herald a new discovery.

They walked cautiously towards the source of the light and found that it was a half-open stone door.

Behind the stone gate, there seems to be an even more mysterious space.

Luo Chen gently pushed the door open, and behind it was a spacious room. (End of this chapter)
