My brother is Shi Hao

After the blinding light faded, Shi Yi felt his head spin. When he regained consciousness, he found himself and Shi Hao in an unfamiliar space. Surrounding them were towering trees, their lush branches and leaves blotting out the sun. Only a few ray of sunlight filtered through the cracks, casting dappled spots of light on the ground. The air was filled with a damp, ancient aroma, as if spanning countless years.

"Where is this place?" Shi Hao shook his head, struggled to stand up, and looked around.

"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the ancient ruins." Shi Yi looked around and said in a deep voice, with a wise light flashing in his pupils.

"Ancient ruins?" Shi Hao exclaimed, his eyes suddenly filled with curiosity and excitement. "Legend has it that ancient ruins contain countless treasures and secrets. We're really going to make a fortune this time!"

"Don't be too happy yet," Elder Feng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up, "Entering the ruins is not that easy."

He walked to a seemingly ordinary rock wall, reached out and pressed it lightly. Suddenly, strange patterns appeared on the rock wall, emitting a faint golden light.

"This is..." Shi Yi and Shi Hao were both shocked when they saw this. They both felt that there was an extremely powerful force hidden in this rock wall that was absolutely beyond human power to contend with.

"This is an ancient restriction. Without special methods, it's impossible to enter." Elder Feng explained, "However, I have found a way to break it."

After saying this, he pulled out an ancient jade talisman from his bosom, muttered something, and pressed it against the rock wall. Suddenly, the jade talisman burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the entire space. The lines on the rock wall also began to flow rapidly, as if coming alive.

However, just when the ban was about to be broken, something strange happened!

A powerful repulsive force surged from the rock wall, knocking Elder Feng back several steps. At the same time, the lines on the rock wall became chaotic, and the golden light flickered unsteadily, as if it would collapse at any moment.

"What's going on?" Shi Hao's face changed and he asked in surprise and doubt.

"The power of this restriction is even stronger than I imagined," Elder Feng steadied himself, his brow furrowed. "It seems I can't break it alone."

"Let me try!" Shi Hao said, taking a step forward and mobilizing the power of the Supreme Bone. A powerful aura burst out from his body, turning into a golden light and bombarding the rock wall.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the rock wall shook violently, the patterns on it became more chaotic, and the golden light flickered, as if it would go out at any time.

"It works!" Shi Hao was delighted when he saw this. He was about to work harder, but suddenly he felt a strong suction force coming from the rock wall, as if it was going to suck him in.

"Not good!" His face changed drastically and he wanted to retreat, but it was too late.

"Shi Hao!" Seeing this, Shi Yi reached out to grab him, but only grabbed the corner of his clothes.

"Stop! You'll ruin this place!" At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang in their ears. Immediately afterwards, a ghostly figure appeared in front of them, blocking the way between Shi Hao and the rock wall...

"stop!"

Ling Yu's voice was as clear and cool as a mountain spring, yet it carried an undeniable authority. Dressed in a white robe as white as snow, she gracefully landed between Shi Hao and the rock wall, preventing him from moving any further.

"Who are you?" Shi Hao was startled by this sudden change. The power of the Supreme Bone immediately restrained, and he looked at the uninvited guest in front of him with confusion.

"I am the guardian of this ruin, Lingyu." She spoke calmly, her eyes sweeping over Shi Yi, Shi Hao, and Elder Feng. "You have trespassed into the ruins and attempted to forcibly break the restrictions. Do you know your crime?"

Elder Feng quickly bowed and explained, "Miss Lingyu, please calm down. We have no ill intentions. We just want to enter the ruins to explore the remains of our ancestors. We have no intention of destroying them."

Ling Yu frowned slightly, her eyes fell on the jade talisman in Elder Feng's hand, and she said in a deep voice, "Where did you get this jade talisman?"

Elder Feng did not dare to hide anything and told the truth about the origin of the jade talisman. It turned out that this jade talisman was accidentally found in an ancient tomb in his early years. According to ancient records, this jade talisman is the key to unlocking this ancient relic.

After listening to Elder Feng's story, Ling Yu was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "This relic was left behind by a powerful ancient being. It's heavily restricted to prevent anyone from destroying the heritage within. If you wish to enter, you must find the five tokens needed to unlock the restrictions. Otherwise, you could get lost at best, or even trigger the trap, putting your life in jeopardy."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao were both shocked when they heard this. They realized that this exploration of the ruins was far more dangerous than they had imagined.

"Excuse me, Miss Lingyu, what are those five tokens? And how do we find them?" Shi Yi stepped forward and asked respectfully.

Ling Yu glanced at him, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, and he pondered, "The five tokens are: the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant, the White Tiger Token, the Vermillion Bird Feather, the Black Tortoise Shield, and the Kirin Horn. They are scattered throughout the ruins. Only by gathering all five can the final restriction be unlocked."

"Five tokens are scattered throughout the ruins..." Shi Hao scratched his head and said with a bitter face, "When will we find them?"

Ling Yu ignored his complaints and continued, "I can guide you to find the first token, but the subsequent tests will depend on you."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the depths of the ruins, leaving behind a sentence that echoed in the air: "Remember, don't act rashly, otherwise you will bear the consequences."

Shi Yi and Shi Hao exchanged a glance, each seeing the determination in the other's eyes. They followed Ling Yu's figure and cautiously stepped into this ancient ruins full of unknowns and dangers...

In the dark forest, vines intertwined, blocking out the sun. Occasionally, the roars of unknown beasts filled the air, sending chills down one's spine. Just as they passed through a thicket, the ground suddenly shook, and with a deep roar, a massive creature burst forth from the dense forest...

"Roar!"

The ground shook as a massive black bear-like creature, covered in cyan scales, burst out from the bushes, its maw gaping and roaring at Shi Yi and the others. Its single blood-red eye shone with a ferocious light, clearly the overlord of this area.

"Be careful!" Elder Feng's face changed as he warned, "This is a Blue Scaled Bear, its strength is comparable to that of a human Inscription Realm expert!"

Shi Hao's eyes were filled with fighting spirit, and the power of the Supreme Bone surged within him. He shouted, "I'll deal with it!"

He flashed and rushed towards the green-scaled bear like an arrow. The bone spear in his hand condensed and stabbed into the chest of the green-scaled bear with a force of ten thousand pounds.

The green-scaled bear roared angrily, and slapped Shi Hao with its huge paw with strong wind, trying to beat him into a pulp.

With a loud bang, Shi Hao was knocked back several steps, and the Green Scaled Bear also retreated a few steps. Obviously, Shi Hao's attack caused some damage to it.

"What a powerful force!" Shi Yi sighed inwardly. Shi Hao truly possessed the Supreme Bone, his strength far surpassing his peers. But he wasn't idle either. His double pupils opened, perceiving the Blue Scale Bear's weaknesses. Simultaneously, he shifted, searching for the perfect moment to strike.

"Roar!" The Green Scaled Bear roared again and attacked Shi Hao frantically, but Shi Hao dodged it nimbly. Shi Yi seized the opportunity and shot out two golden rays from his double pupils, hitting the Green Scaled Bear's eyes.

"Ouch——"

The Green Scale Bear howled in pain and its movements slowed down.

"Now!" Shi Yi shouted and launched an attack at the same time as Shi Hao. The bone spear and the divine light from the double pupils hit the vital points of the Green Scaled Bear at the same time.

The green-scaled bear fell to the ground with a loud bang, let out an unwilling roar, and eventually died.

"Phew...that was close!" Shi Hao wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the Green Scaled Bear lying on the ground with lingering fear.

Elder Feng also breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shi Yi and Shi Hao with appreciation: "You did a great job! This Green Scale Bear was guarding the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant. Now that it's dead, the jade pendant should be nearby."

After some searching, they finally found the crystal clear green dragon jade pendant in the green-scaled bear's lair.

"With the first token, the following tests should be easier, right?" Shi Hao said excitedly as he looked at the jade pendant in his hand.

However, at this moment, a deep and ancient voice sounded in their ears: "Young people, don't be too happy too soon. Entering these ruins will put you in greater danger, even...death!"

The voice was full of warnings and threats, making people shudder.

Shi Yi and Shi Hao looked at each other, their eyes full of determination.

"No matter what dangers lie ahead, we must face them!" Shi Yi said solemnly, "In order to become stronger, to protect the people we want to protect, we will never retreat!"

Shi Hao also clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with determination: "That's right! We are not afraid of danger, we must go in!"

Without further hesitation, they placed the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant into the barrier. With a flash of light, the barrier slowly opened, and a path leading deep into the ruins appeared before them...

"Let's go!" Shi Yi and Shi Hao looked at each other and stepped into the unknown road without hesitation.
