"I must get closer to the stone statue!" Jiang Qiong said in his heart. Although the skeletons were still attacking, he no longer retreated. With the long sword in hand, he rushed straight towards the stone statue.

As he got closer, the surrounding skeletons seemed to sense his intention and pounced on him frantically, trying to stop him from getting closer.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong roared and swung his sword. The sword light was like a rainbow, and he cut off several skeletons in an instant. However, the skeletons still kept pouring in, as if endless. Jiang Qiong was secretly anxious. Time waits for no one, and he must find a way to break the deadlock as soon as possible.

"Since you are so persistent, I will let you see my true strength!" Jiang Qiong was ruthless and mobilized all his spiritual power. The long sword in his hand flashed with dazzling light, as if to tear this space apart. He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and launched a final attack on the skeleton formation in front of him.

"Break the formation and kill!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and the long sword drew a bright arc. The sword light passed like a meteor, instantly splitting the skeleton formation in front of him into two. The skeletons turned into pieces in the sword light, let out miserable screams, and fell down one after another.

As the skeleton formation collapsed, the surrounding space also became quiet. Jiang Qiong finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "I should be able to get closer to the statue now."

Jiang Qiong walked slowly towards the stone statue in the center, her heart filled with anticipation and nervousness.

However, just as he was about to approach, the eyes of the stone statue suddenly burst into an even brighter light, and the atmosphere in the entire hall instantly became more depressing, as if an invisible force was quietly gathering.

"What is this?" Jiang Qiong's heart tightened. The air around him began to distort, and a huge figure gradually condensed behind the stone statue.

It was a skeleton king that was three meters tall. His skeleton gleamed with a cold luster in the light, and an eternal flame burned in his empty eye sockets, emitting a suffocating pressure.

The skeleton of the Skeleton King is thicker than that of ordinary skeletons. He holds a huge black sword in his hand. The sword is engraved with ancient runes, which seem to contain powerful power.

"How dare you trespass into my territory!" The voice of the Skeleton King was like a whisper in the abyss, carrying endless anger and resentment, shaking every corner of the hall.

It slowly raised its sword, the blade flashing in the light, as if ready to deliver a fatal blow to Jiang Qiong at any time.

"It seems I have to go all out!" Jiang Qiong thought to himself, and quickly took out a few talismans from the storage bag, preparing to set up the formation.

He knew that facing a powerful enemy like the Skeleton King, he could not win by brute force alone, and he had to use formations to increase his strength.

He threw out the talismans one by one, and the talismans drew graceful arcs in the air and instantly turned into rays of light, quickly forming a complex formation in the hall.

The light of the formation intertwined, emitting a dazzling brilliance, as if summoning the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. Jiang Qiong closed his eyes, silently chanted a spell in his heart, mobilized the surrounding spiritual energy, and condensed it towards the center of the formation.

"Spirit sword, appear!" As he shouted softly, a spirit sword flashing with blue light began to condense in the center of the formation. The sword body rotated in the air, as if sensing Jiang Qiong's intention, and instantly turned into a stream of light and flew towards the Skeleton King.

Seeing this, the Skeleton King roared and swung the sword in his hand, trying to knock down the spirit sword.

Unexpectedly, the spirit sword was extremely fast, flashing a dazzling light, and instantly pierced into the chest of the Skeleton King, making a deafening roar.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong's heart was shocked and he quickly mobilized his spiritual power. The spiritual sword kept moving in the Skeleton King's body, as if tearing apart its soul.

The Skeleton King roared in pain, and his skeleton kept twisting in the light, as if trying to break free from the restraints of the spirit sword.

"This is not enough!" Jiang Qiong thought to himself, and continued to increase the output of spiritual power. The spiritual sword's attack on the Skeleton King became more and more fierce.

The Skeleton King's body shook violently, as if it could no longer withstand such an attack. However, it did not intend to give up. It swung its sword violently and headed straight for Jiang Qiong.

"Hurry!" Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, and the spirit sword was forced to retreat under the attack of the Skeleton King, but he did not give up. Instead, he became more determined.

He quickly took out more talismans from his storage bag and threw them at the Skeleton King.

The talismans drew arcs in the air and exploded one after another, emitting radiant light, instantly disrupting the Skeleton King's attack.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to mobilize his spiritual power again. The spiritual sword gathered in his hand and turned into a bright light, heading straight for the Skeleton King.

"Break!" Jiang Qiong roared, and the spirit sword pierced the Skeleton King's heart with unparalleled power.

The Skeleton King let out a shrill roar, and an intense light enveloped it. Its skeletons kept collapsing in the light, as if resisting something.

"I will never let you escape!" Jiang Qiong roared in his heart and mobilized all the spiritual power in his body. The spiritual sword in his hand flashed a dazzling light, as if it was going to tear apart this space.

He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, and launched a final attack on the Skeleton King.

"Go to hell!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and the magic sword drew a bright arc. The sword light passed like a meteor, instantly splitting the Skeleton King into two. The Skeleton King let out a shrill scream in the sword light, and his skeleton collapsed and turned into piles of white bone powder.

As the Skeleton King collapsed, the surrounding space also became quiet. Jiang Qiong finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "I should be able to get closer to the statue now."

Same as before.

Just as he was about to approach the statue, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the bone powder of the Skeleton King floated in the air, as if summoning something.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened. Could there be other enemies?
"I have to hurry!" Jiang Qiong felt anxious and ran quickly towards the stone statue.

He knew that only by activating the power of the stone statue could he end all this completely.

Just as he was about to touch the statue, the air around him twisted again, as if foreshadowing the approaching new challenge.

Jiang Qiong's heart was churning like a violent storm, and the light emitted by the stone statue in front of him became more and more dazzling. He took a deep breath, quickened his pace, and rushed towards the stone statue.

The air around him seemed to tremble slightly with his footsteps, as if warning him of the danger he was about to face.

"Hurry! We must close the formation before it revives!" Jiang Qiong muttered in his heart, the talisman in his hand glowing, his eyes fixed on the stone statue, secretly calculating the time in his heart.

Just as he was about to touch the stone statue, Jiang Qiong felt a strong sense of oppression and the space around him began to distort, as if an invisible force was blocking him.

He secretly thought that something was not good and quickly threw out the talismans one by one. The talismans drew graceful arcs in the air and instantly turned into a beam of light, covering the surrounding space.

"Formation, close it!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and the light of the talismans instantly intertwined to form a huge halo, rushing towards the direction of the stone statue.

As the formation was closed, the light in the hall suddenly dimmed, and the Skeleton King's bone powder floated in the air and turned into fine dust, as if bidding a final farewell to the upcoming changes.

At this moment, the eyes of the stone statue suddenly burst into dazzling light, and the entire hall was illuminated again.

Jiang Qiong only felt a powerful force released from the stone statue, surrounding him in an instant.

The body of the stone statue began to twist and gradually revived, and the creaking sound seemed to tell of its anger and unwillingness.

"How dare you hinder my revival!" The voice of the stone statue was as shocking as thunder, carrying endless pressure, and it came straight to Jiang Qiong.

It was tall and exuded a suffocating aura, as if the entire hall was trembling at its existence. "I will never back down!" Jiang Qiong's heart was shaken, and he quickly summoned the spirit puppet from his storage bag.

The spirit puppet flickered a faint light in the air, and instantly transformed into a fully armed warrior, holding a long sword flashing with cold light, and rushed towards the stone statue.

"Go!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and the spirit puppet rushed towards the stone statue like an arrow.

Seeing this, the stone statue roared, swung its huge fist and attacked the spirit puppet.

The two collided in mid-air, making a deafening sound, and the air was filled with strong vibrations.

Jiang Qiong took the opportunity to mobilize his spiritual power. The spirit puppet was like an invisible thread in his heart, flexibly avoiding the stone statue's attacks and quickly counterattacking.

The spirit puppet's sword flashed, drawing graceful arcs and heading straight for the stone statue's vital points.

The stone statue's bones kept trembling under the attack of the spirit puppet, but it did not intend to retreat. Instead, it became more and more angry, waving its fists, trying to knock the spirit puppet away.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, knowing that he couldn't let the spirit puppet face the stone statue's attack alone, and he had to give it more support.

"Spiritual power blessing!" Jiang Qiong shouted, and quickly poured spiritual power into the spirit puppet.

In an instant, the sword light of the spirit puppet became brighter and brighter, as if it was summoning the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, and its power doubled.

"Go!" The spirit puppet attacked again, the sword light was like a rainbow, piercing straight into the heart of the stone statue.

Seeing this, the stone statue roared and tried to resist with its huge fist, but the speed of the spirit puppet far exceeded its reaction, and the sword light instantly pierced into the stone statue's chest.

"Ah!" The stone statue let out a shrill roar, and its skeleton kept twisting in the light, as if resisting the attack of the spirit puppet.

Jiang Qiong felt excited, knowing that this was the best time to defeat it.

"Attack with all your strength!" Jiang Qiong roared, and the spiritual power in his body was like a raging torrent, continuously flowing towards the spirit puppet.

The sword light of the spirit puppet became more and more dazzling, as if it was going to tear the space apart.

"Go to hell!" The spirit puppet let out a roar, and the sword light with unparalleled power rushed straight towards the stone statue.

The skeleton of the stone statue shook violently in the sword light, as if it could no longer withstand such an attack. It swung its long sword suddenly, heading straight for the spirit puppet.

Jiang Qiong's heart tightened, knowing that the spirit puppet must end all this as soon as possible.

He mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and the spirit puppet seemed to sense his intention in his heart. The sword light instantly turned into a stream of light and pierced straight into the heart of the stone statue.

"Break!" Jiang Qiong roared, and the sword light of the spirit puppet drew a brilliant arc, instantly splitting the heart of the stone statue into two.

The stone statues screamed miserably in the sword light, and their skeletons collapsed and turned into piles of white bone powder.

As the stone statue collapsed, the light in the hall gradually dimmed, and the surrounding space returned to calm.

Jiang Qiong finally breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, "It's finally over."

He slowly walked towards the remains of the statue, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
Although he had experienced countless challenges and dangers, he knew that it was all worth it.

Jiang Qiong walked slowly into the hall. Torches were embedded on the walls around him, emitting a faint light that illuminated the way forward for him.

The space of the hall was spacious and empty. The ground was paved with old stone bricks. Moss grew between the cracks of the bricks, making it look a bit damp.

The top of the hall soars into the clouds, and the arched ceiling is carved with intricate patterns.

Walking deeper into the hall, Jiang Qiong's eyes were attracted by a half-open wooden door.

There seemed to be bursts of hot air coming from behind the door, mixed with a faint scent of medicine.

Driven by curiosity, Jiang Qiong gently pushed open the door, and what came into view was an alchemy room.

The space in the alchemy room is not large, but it is full of a mysterious atmosphere.

The room was filled with all kinds of medicinal herbs, some were neatly arranged on wooden shelves, and some were scattered on the ground, as if they had just gone through a chaotic alchemy process.

There are several ancient scrolls hanging on the wall, depicting the focused expression of alchemists in front of the alchemy furnace, as if reminding Jiang Qiong of the endless wisdom contained in this space.

In the center of the room stands an ancient alchemy furnace. The furnace is completely black, and the surface is covered with traces of time, emitting a faint luster.

Above the alchemy furnace, flames were burning fiercely. The red flames were tumbling in the furnace like living things, emitting waves of heat.

The light of the flame reflected on Jiang Qiong's face, as if bringing him warmth and strength.

On the table next to the stove, various alchemy tools are placed, and exquisite medicine knives, porcelain bottles, medicine jars and other items are neatly arranged, showing that this was once the workplace of an alchemy master.

Jiang Qiong approached the alchemy furnace and could clearly feel the scorching breath, as if calling him to come closer.

In the furnace, several pills being refined were flickering with faint light as the flames danced, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance that was intoxicating.

"It seems that the pills here are still being refined." Jiang Qiong thought to himself, his eyes involuntarily attracted to the pill furnace.

He looked around and found a small bookshelf in the corner, which was filled with ancient books and scrolls. The covers were painted with various talismans and elixirs.

Jiang Qiong walked forward, gently took down a thick ancient book, and opened it. It recorded in detail the recipes and refining methods of various elixirs. The handwriting was neat, as if it was the painstaking work of an alchemist.

"This book may help me improve my alchemy skills." Jiang Qiong thought to himself and decided to keep this ancient book.

He carefully put the ancient book into the storage bag and turned around to continue observing other details of the alchemy room.

At this moment, the flame in the alchemy furnace suddenly jumped violently, as if sensing Jiang Qiong's arrival. A low voice faintly came from the flame, as if calling him.

"Is this... a spiritual fire?" Jiang Qiong was shocked and realized that the alchemy environment here was unusual. (End of this chapter)
