Chapter 105: Entering the Holy Land Trial, Facing Unknown Dangers
The illusion of the holy fruit dissipated, and Shi Yi and Shi Hao stepped into the real holy land.
Thick fog filled the air, blocking the view. A cold aura flowed in the air, like a lurking beast, making people shudder.
The two men moved forward cautiously. Shi Hao followed closely behind Shi Yi, his little hand clutching the corner of Shi Yi's clothes.
“Brother, this place... is so scary.” Shi Hao’s voice trembled slightly.
Shi Yi patted his hands gently, and golden light flashed in his pupils, trying to penetrate the thick fog.
"Don't be afraid, just follow me." His words were simple, yet they carried a reassuring power.
Suddenly, a burst of ridicule came from the fog.
"Look, who are these? Aren't these two little brats from the Wasteland? How dare they come to participate in the Holy Land Trial? They really don't know their place!"
The fog dispersed a little, and several young men in gorgeous clothes appeared in front of them. Leading them was a young man wearing a brocade robe and with an arrogant face - Young Master Lingfeng.
Behind him was a group of fawning followers, all of them arrogant and looking at Shi Yi and Shi Hao with contempt.
"I heard you were very powerful in the Desolate Territory? Haha, here, you are nothing!" Young Master Lingfeng played with a crystal clear jade pendant in his hand and said in a frivolous tone, "I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, so as not to embarrass yourself here."
The followers also joined in the booing, and the sarcastic laughter rose one after another like a group of noisy crows.
Shi Hao's face flushed red, he clenched his fists, and was about to rush forward to argue.
However, Shi Yi grabbed him.
He just glanced coldly at Master Ling Feng and the others, his eyes as cold as ten thousand years of ice, without the slightest ripple.
That look seemed to contain endless pressure, which made Master Ling Feng's heart tremble and he unconsciously took half a step back.
The followers behind him also fell silent, feeling an inexplicable pressure.
"Don't be impulsive." Shi Yi's voice was low and powerful, but with a majesty that could not be ignored.
Shi Yi's gaze swept over Young Master Ling Feng and others, and finally fell on the entrance of the Misty Forest.
There, a holy land elder was reading out the rules of the trial.
"The first level is to enter the Misty Forest and find three spirit beads. The time limit is three hours. Now, begin!"
As soon as the elder finished speaking, Master Lingfeng and his followers rushed into the misty forest like an arrow.
Others followed closely behind, fearing that they would be left behind.
Only Shi Yi and Shi Hao remained standing where they were, as if they had not heard the elders' orders.
"Brother, let's go in too. It will be too late if we're any later!" Shi Hao was a little anxious. He was eager to try and wanted to prove himself.
Young Master Ling Feng and his group deliberately slowed down their pace and stood in front of Shi Yi and Shi Hao with contemptuous smiles on their faces.
"What's going on? The two young geniuses from the Wasteland don't dare to go in?"
Shi Hao clenched his fists, anger burning in his chest. "You..."
"Don't be impulsive." Shi Yi remained calm. He held Shi Hao, and golden light flowed in his pupils, as if he could see through all illusions.
In his eyes, the misty forest was no longer an insurmountable barrier, but a maze full of possibilities.
Suddenly, Shi Yi's mouth corners curled up in an imperceptible arc.
He saw a hidden path at the edge of the misty forest, covered by dense vines. It could not be found without careful observation.
"Follow me." Shi Yi pulled Shi Hao and walked towards the path.
Shi Hao looked at Shi Yi in surprise. He didn't know how his brother found this trail, but his heart was full of trust and expectations for his brother.
Young Master Lingfeng and the others couldn't help but burst into laughter as they watched Shi Yi and Shi Hao walk towards the edge of the forest. "Where are they going? Are they lost? Hahaha..."
However, before the laughter died down, Shi Yi and Shi Hao disappeared behind the dense vines.
The smiles on the faces of Master Lingfeng and the others gradually froze as they realized that they seemed to have missed something...
"Let's go!" Shi Yi's voice came from behind the vines, with an inexplicable chill in his tone.
The road behind the vines is not smooth.
As soon as Shi Yi and Shi Hao stepped in, they were surrounded by a group of evil spirits.
These evil spirits were like smoke, floating around, their sharp claws flashing with cold light, and they emitted creepy hissing sounds.
"Be careful!" Shi Yi warned, golden light flashing in his pupils, observing the movements of the evil spirit.
Shi Hao was eager to fight, and the power of the Supreme Bone was surging in his body.
"Come on!" He shouted, waving his little fists, and rushed into the group of demons first.
The wind from the fists whistled, and each punch contained powerful force, knocking away the approaching demons.
However, the demons were numerous, and they fought bravely and fearlessly. Although Shi Hao was brave, he gradually felt exhausted.
Seeing this, Shi Yi stopped standing by and watched.
He moved his body and shuttled among the demons like a ghost.
The double pupils can see through everything, and every attack is extremely precise, hitting the weaknesses of the demon spirit directly.
Amidst the flashing golden light, the demons let out shrill screams and dissipated in wisps of black smoke.
The trial participants around them, who had originally looked down on Shi Yi and Shi Hao, now showed expressions of surprise.
They didn't expect that these two young men from the wilderness would possess such powerful strength.
At this moment, a cold figure passed by not far away.
It was the Holy Lady Mingyue Fairy.
She watched Shi Yi and Shi Hao fighting fiercely with the evil spirits, with a hint of curiosity and admiration in her eyes.
Shi Yi noticed the gaze of Fairy Mingyue and nodded slightly.
Shi Hao scratched his head embarrassedly and attacked even harder, wanting to show his bravery in front of the fairy.
After a fierce battle, the demons were finally wiped out. Shi Yi and Shi Hao were both a little out of breath, but their eyes were shining with excitement.
"Brother, let's keep going!" Shi Hao couldn't wait to find the spirit pearl.
Shi Yi nodded, and scanned the surroundings with his double pupils, looking for traces of the spirit pearl.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a huge rock.
On the rock, there is a mysterious rune engraved, emitting a faint golden light.
"What is this?" Shi Hao also noticed the runes on the rock and asked curiously.
Shi Yi slowly stretched out his hand and touched the rune. A powerful force came from the rune, which shocked him.
"It seems... to be a seal." Shi Yi withdrew his hand, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes, "Moreover, it is a very powerful seal." He looked at Shi Hao, "Be careful..."
The residual warmth from Shi Yi's fingertips had not yet dissipated, and the strong fluctuations of power were still echoing in his heart.
He stared at the runes on the rock, golden light flowing in his pupils, trying to see through the secret behind the seal.
The runes were complex and ancient, emitting a faint golden light that flickered like breathing.
"Brother, could this be the formation that protects the spirit pearl?" Shi Hao leaned forward and looked at the runes curiously, his little face full of excitement.
He couldn't wait to get the spirit pearl so as to improve his strength.
Shi Yi shook his head. "Not like that. This power... is much stronger than the formation that protects the spirit pearl." He paused, feeling vaguely uneasy.
"Perhaps, beneath this seal, there is something more important hidden, or even... something dangerous."
"Danger?" Shi Hao shrank his neck, a trace of fear flashing across his face, but then he straightened his chest and said, "Brother, we're not afraid! Even if there's danger, we'll face it together!"
Shi Yi looked at Shi Hao's determined eyes, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He reached out and rubbed Shi Hao's hair, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
"Okay, let's face it together."
They circled the giant rock and looked around carefully, trying to find a way to break the seal.
The surface of the rock is rough, with no other markings except that mysterious rune.
The runes have smooth lines, yet are filled with an ancient and mysterious aura, making them difficult to grasp.
"This rune... I seem to have seen it somewhere." Shi Yi frowned and tried hard to recall.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind and he remembered an ancient book.
"I remember now! This is a rune used in ancient times to seal powerful beasts!"
Shi Hao's expression turned serious upon hearing this. "A vicious beast? Isn't that very dangerous?"
Shi Yi nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"If this is really a rune that seals a ferocious beast, then we must be careful. The power of this seal has weakened somewhat. If it is touched rashly, the consequences will be disastrous." He paused, his eyes falling on a tiny crack in the center of the rune.
"look……"
