The three continued their discussion until late at night.
They decided to set out early the next morning, aiming to reach the ruins by nightfall.
The next day, just as dawn was breaking, Luo Chen, Qing Shuang, and Hong Ling set off towards the ruins.
Along the way, they took turns on watch to guard against unforeseen dangers.
After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the legendary ruins.
The ruins were littered with broken walls and remnants, gigantic stone pillars lay toppled on the ground, inscribed with ancient runes.
Luo Chen carefully examined these runes, trying to uncover some clues from them.
"These runes seem to record some kind of sealing," Luo Chen said in a low voice.
Qing Shuang and Hong Ling also came over to look closely.
Suddenly, Hong Ling pointed at a pattern on one of the steles, "Look, this pattern is exactly the same as the one on the cover of the Ancient Tome mentioned in our mission."
