Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

"Hurry up! Run!" Ye Li almost shouted, her voice trembling slightly amid the roar of the stone statue.

"I've tried my best!" Zhang Meng panted, his feet moved quickly, but he still held up the amulet, "Why isn't this thing working yet?"

"Don't count on the amulet!" Chu Tian ran back and looked back, "Didn't you say it can increase strength? Now is the time!"

"Yes, but it... may... take time!" Zhang Meng ran while trying to raise the amulet high, as if he could awaken its power by raising it a few more times.

"Time?" Qin Feng panted, "We don't have that much time, the giant stone statue is almost catching up!"

The statue's footsteps were earth-shaking, and each step made the room shake slightly, and rubble fell from the ceiling. The huge stone sword was wielded in its hand, and every time it chopped down, the air seemed to be cut, making a sharp buzzing sound.

"Zhang Meng, you better tell me that the amulet is useless!" Ye Li couldn't help it anymore, "How about we think of another way!"

Zhang Meng looked at the amulet in his hand unwillingly. Suddenly, the amulet flashed slightly.

"Look! See! It's reacting!" Zhang Meng shouted excitedly, "I told you, it just needs to warm up!"

"Warm up?" Chu Tian almost laughed out of anger, "Are you still planning to give the amulet a few yoga lessons?"

"Don't talk nonsense! Let me try again!" Zhang Meng stopped and turned to face the stone statue, his eyes full of determination. "Come on! You stone lump! Let's see who is the real hero!"

"Are you crazy?" Qin Feng was almost frightened by his words, "Don't be stubborn, we can think of a solution together..."

However, Zhang Meng had already raised the amulet, and he rushed towards the stone statue while shouting.

"Oh my God, he's really crazy!" Ye Li couldn't help but cover her face.

"Watch me!" Zhang Meng shouted, and suddenly threw the amulet high into the air.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, the amulet suddenly released a beam of dazzling light, which instantly enveloped the entire room. The stone statue's movement suddenly froze, and then it made a low roar and stopped moving forward.

"Wow! It really stopped!" Chu Tian widened his eyes.

"I told you, the amulet is useful, right?" Zhang Meng said proudly, posing as a winner.

"It seems like your bet was right this time." Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief, "But the power of the amulet seems to have not been fully exerted yet."

"It doesn't matter. I have already mastered its rhythm!" Zhang Meng strode to the stone statue and raised his fist proudly. "I am now like a legendary hero who can defeat any monster!"

Although the stone statue has stopped moving, its eyes are still flashing red, as if it will wake up again at any time.

"Are you sure it has really stopped?" Ye Li asked doubtfully.

Zhang Meng approached the statue and poked its leg gently with his finger. "Look, it's completely motionless. I guess the amulet has completely sealed its power."

"Don't be too confident." Chu Tian walked to the side of the stone statue and looked at the flashing red eyes nervously, "These magical creatures can't be easily sealed."

"I have verified this myself!" Zhang Meng acted like an expert. "I think this amulet can not only seal the monster, but also give me extra strength! I feel full of strength now!"

"Your strength lies in your eloquence." Ye Li rolled her eyes. "Well, now that the statue has stopped, let's go quickly and don't waste time."

"She's right." Qin Feng agreed, "We have to find the exit and keep moving forward."

Just as the few people were about to leave, the stone statue's eyes suddenly flashed again, and then its body began to tremble slightly.

"Uh...is it going to be resurrected?" Zhang Meng was stunned.

"I knew it wasn't that simple!" Chu Tian quickly stepped back, "Get away from it!"

"The amulet is ineffective?" Ye Li looked at Zhang Meng nervously, "Didn't you just say you had it under control?"

"Uh... maybe it has a cooling time?" Zhang Meng touched the back of his head awkwardly, "I'm not sure..."

"You don't know?" Qin Feng was so angry that he almost couldn't speak. "We have to leave quickly, otherwise if we anger it again, we'll be finished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the stone statue suddenly let out a low roar and raised the huge stone sword high again.

"Run!" Ye Li shouted, and several people immediately turned around and ran out.

"I thought it was sealed!" Zhang Meng complained as he ran, "This amulet is really unreliable!"

"You said 'cooling time' yourself! Now is the cooling period!" Chu Tian retorted as he ran, "If we fail again next time, we really have to think of another way!"

"Don't worry about cooling down, just find a way to get out of here!" Qin Feng's voice was filled with tension, "This room is not safe!"

Several people ran wildly all the way, and the huge stone statue behind them followed them with a roar, watching them escape into the passage.

"Quick, close the passage door!" Ye Li shouted anxiously.

Zhang Meng ran to the entrance of the passage, grabbed the door of the passage, and pushed it back with all his strength. With a "boom", the door finally closed, and the roar of the stone statue was isolated outside the door.

Several people gasped and leaned against the wall, their hearts beating wildly.

"Finally... I finally dodged it..." Zhang Meng said while panting, "It was really a life-and-death experience this time..."

"How dare you say that." Ye Li glared at him. "If you hadn't messed around at the beginning, we would have avoided that statue long ago."

"Hey, don't blame me. I didn't expect things to be so complicated." Zhang Meng smiled awkwardly, "But the result is good, isn't it?"

"Don't be so impulsive next time." Qin Feng warned, "We have been involved in too many dangers. We must be more cautious."

"Okay, okay, I'll be more careful next time." Zhang Meng raised his hands in surrender, "But I still think this amulet is the key, I just haven't fully mastered how to use it yet."

"It's better this way." Chu Tian said coldly, "Next time, we may not be so lucky."

"I'm already researching how to make it more efficient!" Zhang Meng said seriously, "Next time, I will definitely control its power completely!"

"Just brag." Ye Li couldn't help laughing, "I hope you don't cause more trouble next time."

Qin Feng shook his head and smiled, "Okay, let's not talk about this for now. The most important thing for us now is to find the exit of this world and leave this weird place."

"Yes, indeed." Ye Li nodded, "We have come so far, there shouldn't be much more to go."

"I hope so." Chu Tian looked at the corridor in the distance and sighed slightly, "No matter what, we must go to the end."

After a short rest, they resumed their steps and continued along the passage.

At the end of the passage, there seemed to be a new light flickering faintly, as if waiting for their arrival. And that light might indicate that a new adventure is about to begin - Zhang Meng's amulet might once again bring them an unexpected reversal.

"I hope we won't encounter any more stone statues ahead." Ye Li said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, my amulet is ready to deal with the next crisis!" Zhang Meng looked confident.

"Well, let's see what other 'surprises' your amulet can bring." Qin Feng smiled and shook his head.

New adventures are waiting for them.
