Chapter 167 The Key to Unlocking the Secret

Shen Mo stared at the pattern on the scroll that suddenly caught his attention, and an inexplicable excitement surged in his heart. This pattern seemed different from what he had seen before, with more complex lines and containing an indescribable mysterious power.

He gently pushed Lin Yuwei who was sleeping beside him, "Yuwei, wake up, I think I found something."

Lin Yuwei rubbed her eyes and asked sleepily, "What's wrong, Shen Mo?"

Shen Mo pointed at the pattern on the scroll and said, "Look at this, I think it may be the key to unlocking the secret."

Lin Yuwei leaned in to observe it carefully, frowning and thinking, "This pattern does look different, but how should we interpret it?"

Shen Mo said: "I think we need to study it carefully in combination with the jade pendant and the stone tablet."

The two once again plunged into the exploration of the secret. They placed the jade pendant next to the pattern and compared it with the symbols on the stone tablet.

Time passed by unknowingly, and the sky outside the cave gradually brightened.

"Shen Mo, I think I have some ideas." Lin Yuwei suddenly said, "Look at the direction of the lines of this pattern. Are there any similarities with some of the textures on the jade pendant?"

Shen Mo observed according to Lin Yuwei's instructions, and his eyes lit up, "Yes, maybe there is some kind of corresponding relationship between them."

Just when they thought they were about to make a breakthrough, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Oh no, there might be trouble." Shen Mo stood up vigilantly.

Lin Yuwei also became nervous, "Could it be those people who want to snatch the jade pendant and stone tablet again?"

Shen Mo clenched the sword in his hand, "No matter who it is, we must be careful."

They quietly walked to the cave entrance and looked out. They saw a group of armored soldiers walking towards the cave, led by a stern-looking general.

The general shouted loudly: "Listen, everyone inside, hand over the jade pendant and the stone slab immediately, and I will spare your lives!"

Shen Mo replied: "Don't even think about it! We found this after going through so much trouble. We will never give it to you."

The general snorted coldly, "Then don't blame me for being rude!"

The soldiers raised their weapons and prepared to attack.

Shen Mo and Lin Yuwei retreated back to the depths of the cave, anxiously thinking of countermeasures.

"Yuwei, I'll rush out to attract their attention later, and you can take the opportunity to escape." Shen Mo said.

Lin Yuwei shook her head firmly, "No, I won't leave you alone, let's go together."

Shen Mo looked at her with emotion, "Yuwei, now is not the time to act on impulse. You must stay alive. Only in this way can we hope to solve the secret."

Lin Yuwei wanted to argue, but Shen Mo had already rushed out.

He engaged in a fierce battle with the soldiers, and his sword skills were so sharp that it was difficult for the soldiers to get close to him for a while.

Upon seeing this, the general personally went into battle with Shen Mo. The two fought to a standstill.

Lin Yuwei was extremely anxious in the cave. Suddenly, she saw some strange carvings on the cave wall, which seemed to be related to the pattern they were studying.

"Could this also be a clue?" Lin Yuwei ignored the battle outside and focused on studying these marks.

At the same time, Shen Mo gradually became exhausted and suffered multiple injuries.

"Surrender quickly, you can't escape!" said the general proudly.

Shen Mo gritted his teeth and insisted, "Even if I die, I won't let you succeed!"

At this critical moment, Lin Yuwei shouted excitedly: "Shen Mo, I understand!"

Shen Mo cheered up, struggled to break free from the general's attack, and retreated back into the cave.

"Yuwei, what did you find?" Shen Mo asked anxiously.

Lin Yuwei pointed to the marks on the cave wall and said, "I think these marks combined with the patterns on the scroll are the complete clue to unlocking the secret."

Shen Mo looked at the carvings and patterns and nodded thoughtfully.

At this time, the soldiers outside the cave approached again.

"There's no time, let's try it quickly." Shen Mo said.

According to Lin Yuwei's discovery, they combined and interpreted the jade pendants, stone slabs and the carvings on the cave walls.

Just as the soldiers rushed into the cave, a strange light burst out from the objects in their hands...
