My brother is Shi Hao

Shi Yi pushed open the heavy stone door, and an ancient and mysterious atmosphere filled him. The stone chamber was dimly lit, and a stone platform could be vaguely seen in the center. On the platform sat a golden box, its surface engraved with intricate patterns, shimmering with color, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary object.

"Brother, what is that?" Shi Hao pointed at the golden box on the stone platform, his eyes full of curiosity.

"Perhaps this is the most important treasure in this ruin." Shi Yi said in a low voice, looking around cautiously. His double pupils shone with a faint golden light, and he observed every corner of the stone chamber, but he did not detect any dangerous aura.

The two of them walked cautiously to the stone platform. Shi Yi reached out and gently opened the golden box. Inside the box lay a crystal clear jade pendant in the shape of a dragon, lifelike and emitting a soft light.

"Such a powerful energy fluctuation!" Shi Hao exclaimed. He could feel that this jade pendant contained extremely powerful energy, which was far beyond their current ability to control.

Shi Yi picked up the jade pendant and examined it carefully. It felt warm to the touch, and a warmth flowed down his arm and throughout his body, making him feel extremely comfortable. He knew that this jade pendant was definitely a rare treasure.

At this moment, the temperature inside the stone chamber suddenly dropped, and a chilling aura surged in from all directions. Shi Yi and Shi Hao were startled and suddenly looked up at the door of the stone chamber, only to see a figure in a blood-red robe slowly walking in.

The man was tall, his face hidden beneath a wide hood, revealing only a pair of blood-red eyes that flashed with a cold light. He exuded a strong smell of blood, as if he had walked out of a sea of blood and corpses.

"Who are you? How dare you trespass into my territory!" The Blood Demon said in a cold tone with unquestionable majesty.

"Your territory?" Shi Yi frowned slightly and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

The Blood Demon sneered and slowly took off his hood, revealing a pale and handsome face. However, this face was covered with evil patterns, which made people shudder.

"I am the Blood Demon, the guardian of this relic." The Blood Demon spoke proudly, as if declaring his identity and status.

"Guardian?" Shi Hao snorted coldly, "You look more like a robber to me! We were the first to discover this ruin, so the things inside should naturally belong to us!"

"How dare you!" A trace of anger flashed in the Blood Demon's eyes. "Just two little brats like you dare to act so presumptuous in front of me!"

Shi Yi protected Shi Hao behind him, staring at the Blood Demon with vigilance, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you want?"

The Blood Demon didn't say anything. He just stretched out a hand and pointed at the jade pendant in Shi Yi's hand. He said in a cold voice, "Leave that jade pendant and I can spare your lives!"

"Want the jade pendant? Then it depends on whether you have the ability!" A hint of determination flashed in Shi Yi's eyes. He held the jade pendant tightly in his hand, ready to fight.

Seeing this, the Blood Demon curled up a cruel smile and slowly raised his hand. A powerful pressure instantly enveloped the entire stone chamber...

Before the Blood Demon finished speaking, a blood-red storm suddenly arose in the stone chamber. Shi Yi felt an overwhelming force rushing towards him, the golden light in his pupils trembled violently, and his body involuntarily retreated.

"Brother!" Shi Hao exclaimed and wanted to go forward to help, but was suppressed by the Blood Demon's pressure and could not move.

"Untouchable!" The Blood Demon snorted coldly, his eyes full of contempt. He just waved his hand lightly, and repelled Shi Yi and Shi Hao, showing that his strength was far beyond their ability to contend with.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao leaned against the cold wall, their faces pale and their breathing disordered. They realized that the gap between them and the Blood Demon was like a firefly and the bright moon, they were not on the same level at all.

"You self-righteous ants, do you think you can obtain treasures with just passion?" The Blood Demon looked down at them, his tone filled with mockery and disdain. "Power, only great power, is the eternal truth of this world!"

Shi Yi took a deep breath, suppressing the surging blood in his body, and said in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

The Blood Demon raised a playful smile and said, "I've changed my mind. I can give you this treasure, but you must pass my test."

Upon hearing this, Shi Hao's eyes lit up with hope, and he quickly asked, "What test?"

The Blood Demon didn't answer directly, but instead snapped his fingers. Suddenly, the ground in the center of the stone chamber cracked, revealing a pitch-black hole before the two. A cold, eerie aura emanated from the depths of the hole, sending shivers down their spines.

"This is the road to the illusion. As long as you can walk out of it alive, this treasure will be yours." The Blood Demon's voice echoed in the stone chamber, with a hint of coldness and mockery. "Of course, if you don't have this ability, then you will stay there forever!"

Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, each seeing a hint of solemnity in the other's eyes. They knew that this was by no means a simple test, and that if they were not careful, they could be doomed.

"Brother, we..." Shi Hao hesitated and wanted to seek Shi Yi's opinion.

"Are you scared?" Shi Yi asked back in a calm tone.

"No!" Shi Hao puffed out his chest, his eyes determined. "In order to become stronger and to protect my people, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"Okay!" Shi Yi nodded, a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes. Then he took Shi Hao's hand and stepped into the dark cave.

"I hope you won't let me down..." The Blood Demon said in a low voice, looking at the two people's disappearing backs, with a hint of inexplicable meaning in his tone...

Darkness swallowed everything, and a cold, damp atmosphere instantly enveloped Shi Yi and Shi Hao. They fell to the ground and struggled to get up, only to find themselves in a completely unfamiliar space.

It was a vast room, its walls inlaid with countless night-shining pearls, emitting a faint glow that illuminated every corner. However, this light also carried a strange, icy chill that sent chills down one's spine. The room was completely empty, devoid of any living creatures besides the two brothers.

"Brother, where is this place?" Shi Hao's voice trembled slightly as he grasped Shi Yi's arm tightly.

"I don't know," Shi Yi frowned, golden light flickering in his pupils as he tried to see through the illusion before him, "This should be the illusion that the Blood Demon mentioned."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding scene began to distort and change. In the previously empty room, countless monsters suddenly appeared, their fangs bared and claws snarling, charging towards them.

"Be careful!" Shi Yi protected Shi Hao behind him, and golden light shone brightly in his pupils. Two golden lightning bolts shot out and blasted the monsters in the front into pieces.

"Don't be afraid, these are all illusions!" Shi Yi said in a deep voice. His voice echoed in the empty room, but it carried a reassuring power.

Shi Hao nodded, gripping the bone spear tightly, his eyes gradually becoming firmer. He knew that fear would only put him in more danger. Only by facing it bravely could he find a way out.

The illusion was ever-changing, sometimes a sea of fire and swords, sometimes a bottomless abyss, and sometimes the temptation of countless treasures and beauties. Shi Yi and Shi Hao fought side by side, supporting each other. They withstood wave after wave of attacks, overcame the fear and greed deep in their hearts, and never lost themselves.

After an unknown amount of time, the surrounding scene finally stopped changing and the room returned to peace.

"Did we succeed?" Shi Hao asked breathlessly, with sweat on his forehead.

Shi Yi didn't answer. He looked around warily, a golden light flickering in his pupils. He had a feeling that things weren't that simple.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in the room: "Congratulations, you have passed my test."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao turned around suddenly, only to see the Blood Demon appear in the center of the room at some point, with a strange smile on his face...

"But..." The Blood Demon paused, a cold glint in his eyes. "The game has only just begun." In the dim light, the Blood Demon's figure appeared eerie and terrifying. His crimson tongue licked his lips, a cruel smile playing across his face. "Little ones, you're quite impressive. You managed to withstand my illusionary test." His voice was hoarse and low, like the cry of a night owl, chilling and unsettling.

Shi Yi took a step forward and protected Shi Hao behind him. Golden light flashed in his pupils and his tone was icy: "What do you want?"

"What do I want?" The Blood Demon laughed heartily, as if he had heard something hilarious. His laughter was filled with contempt and disdain. "This ruin is a place I protect. Anyone who dares to trespass here will die!"

Before he finished speaking, the Blood Demon flashed and transformed into a streak of blood-red lightning, charging straight at Shi Yi. His five fingers formed into claws, his blade-like nails flashing with a cold light, aiming directly at Shi Yi's throat.

"Brother, be careful!" Shi Hao exclaimed and instinctively stabbed out with the bone spear in his hand, but was easily slapped away by the Blood Demon.

Shi Yi was prepared. Golden light shone brightly in his pupils, and two golden lightning bolts roared out like angry dragons, colliding with the blood demon's attack.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the whole room shook violently, the luminous pearls inlaid on the wall shattered one after another, and the room suddenly fell into darkness.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao were knocked back several steps by the huge shock wave, and their blood surged.

"What a powerful force!" Shi Yi was secretly shocked. The strength of this blood demon was far beyond his imagination.

"Hehehe, little one, do you feel the fear?" The Blood Demon's voice echoed in the darkness like a ghost. "It's not too late to regret now. Kneel down and beg for mercy. I may consider leaving your body intact!"

"Don't even think about it!" Shi Hao roared angrily, the power of the Supreme Bone boiling in his body, and a powerful momentum burst out from him.

"You don't know your own limitations!" The Blood Demon sneered and disappeared into the darkness again.

Shi Yi's heart trembled. He knew that the real battle had just begun...
