Chapter 244 Clues and Dilemmas
After Shen Mo and his companions escaped from the cave that was about to collapse, they found a relatively safe place nearby to rest. Everyone looked exhausted, with more or less battle scars on their bodies.
"Although we defeated the Dark Lord's clone this time, I feel the road ahead will be more difficult." Qingfeng said as he sat on the ground and treated his wounds.
The female general looked into the distance, thoughtfully: "But at least we have gained something. Maybe we can find more clues about the dark forces."
Lin Yuwei held the magic weapon and tried to sense whether there was any residual dark aura around.
Su Yao was busy distributing food and water to everyone, while asking about everyone's condition with concern.
Shen Mo stood aside, brows furrowed, thinking about the next plan of action.
"Everyone should have a good rest and recover your strength. We will discuss what to do next later." Shen Mo said.
Everyone nodded and began to take a rest.
After a while, Shen Mo gathered everyone together.
"The magic circle we found in the cave should be one of the important sources of dark power. This shows that they are carrying out a bigger conspiracy in secret." Shen Mo said seriously.
The magician continued, "Moreover, judging from the appearance of the Dark Lord's clone, their strength is far beyond our imagination."
"Then what should we do?" Su Yao asked worriedly.
Shen Mo pondered for a moment and then said, "We have to look for more clues to understand the true purpose of the dark forces and their core."
"But where do we start looking?" Qingfeng asked.
At this time, Lin Yuwei suddenly said: "When I was fighting with the Dark Lord's clone, I seemed to feel a special magical fluctuation. Maybe we can find something in this direction."
Shen Mo's eyes lit up: "Well, let's follow Lin Yuwei's perception."
So, everyone set out on the journey again.
Along the way, they passed through dense forests and crossed steep mountains. The weather was also changeable, sometimes scorching sun and sometimes heavy rain.
"This horrible weather is so uncomfortable." Qingfeng complained.
The female general encouraged: "Everyone hold on, we can't be defeated by this little difficulty."
After a difficult journey, they came to a remote village. The village was silent and no one was seen.
"This place feels weird." Su Yao said with some fear.
Shen Mo walked into the village cautiously, only to see that the houses were dilapidated and covered with dust and cobwebs everywhere.
"Is anyone there?" Shen Mo shouted loudly, but only his voice echoed in the empty village.
Just as they were about to leave, an old man suddenly walked out of a room.
"Who are you?" The old man looked at them warily.
Shen Mo quickly explained: "Old man, we are warriors fighting against the dark forces and are passing by here."
When the old man heard about the dark forces, his face became even gloomier: "Dark forces? They destroyed our village and stole our food and property."
Shen Mo said: "Old man, can you tell us more about the dark power?"
The old man sighed and began to tell the story. It turned out that this village had been attacked by dark forces and many people were captured and their whereabouts are still unknown.
"They went east, and I heard they have a base there," said the old man.
Shen Mo and others thanked the old man and continued to move eastward.
After walking for a few days, they finally found a castle that seemed to be the base of dark forces.
There are heavy guards outside the castle and the security is very strict.
"How do we get in?" Qingfeng asked.
Shen Mo thought for a while and said, "Let's observe and see if there are any flaws."
They hid in the woods outside the castle and observed the movements of the castle.
Lin Yuwei discovered that the defense on one side of the castle was relatively weak.
"Maybe we can break through from there." Lin Yuwei said.
Shen Mo nodded: "Okay, everyone get ready and take action tonight."
When night fell, Shen Mo and others quietly approached the weak point of the castle.
However, just as they were about to get closer, they were suddenly discovered by patrolling guards.
"Enemy!" the guard shouted.
Suddenly, alarms rang out in the castle, and countless soldiers rushed out...
