Just as everyone let out a sigh of relief, an even more violent tremor erupted from deep within the cave. The entire cavern felt unstable, and rocks began to rain down from the ceiling. Lin Feng shouted anxiously, "No good! We must have triggered some mechanism. Let's get out of here!"
Everyone bolted down the cave passage for their lives, only to find their way blocked by a massive stone gate at the end of the tunnel. The door was carved with strange patterns and radiated a mysterious aura, as if waiting for someone to unravel its secrets.
Faced with the sudden appearance of the stone gate, everyone was frantic with worry. The tremors grew increasingly violent, and boulders continued to crash down, making the situation critical. Without even wiping the sweat from his brow, the Elder rushed up to the stone gate and closely examined the carvings upon it. Though the patterns looked chaotic at first glance, they faintly hinted at a certain underlying order, seemingly bound by a thousand threads to the ancient scripts on the scales and the previous stone gate.
