“Is this how this thing came about?”

Mulan, who was standing aside, looked as if she had suddenly understood something. This was the first time she knew about it. It should be said that those who come from the academy are the ones with a lot of knowledge!

Fu Yuemei and the others also understood this and kept it in mind silently. At the same time, they became more admiring and curious about Sister Mu.

Since Sister Mu knows everything no matter what you ask about cultivation knowledge, medicinal herbs, or spiritual treasures and objects, why doesn't she become a teacher in the academy?

"You stole my limelight!"

Lin Ran used his spiritual power to transmit a message to Mu Shishuang, teasing him. He just wanted to show off because he also knew the answer to this question and had been influenced by many top students. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't remember some things.

"Next time I'll let you come and tell you the answer!"

Mu Shishuang took Lin Ran's hand and wrote on it. She had fallen in love with this feeling, as if it was the mysterious feeling of whispering.

"It's a deal!" Lin Ran said with a smile.

The convoys of the five major academies stopped at the entrance and were not in a hurry to move forward. The three academies in front were analyzing with the guide from the Qin family how to pass through this ancient battlefield.

Lin Ran got off the carriage and went over to listen curiously. He naturally ran into Jin Qiusheng, the leader of Shengqiong Academy. When the old man saw Lin Ran coming, he suddenly pointed at Lin Ran and said to the leader of the Qin family, "Come on, tell this kid how to go later. I'm afraid they will lose their way and disappear!"

"That's great! I knew Dean Jin was very generous!"

Lin Ran was not afraid either. With a smile on his face, he squeezed into the small discussion circle and asked the guide from the Qin family to tell him the route according to the map.

When Jin Qiu Sheng saw Lin Ran like this, his face couldn't help but turn red. He was angry with Lin Ran. He threw his sleeves and didn't want to stay here any longer.

Wen Ling patted Lin Ran on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Lin Ran, listen carefully, so you won't go the wrong way later!"

"Hey, good!"

Lin Ran nodded and listened carefully to the route described by the Qin family.

When we arrived at the ancient battlefield, the carriage could not be used, because there were some places where the carriage could not go at all and it was easy to trigger traps. However, it was not easy to lead a group of students from the academy through the ancient battlefield safely.

After running back from there, Lin Ran looked at Mulan who was still studying the map and couldn't help but said, "Mulan, this is the route that the Qin family plans to take, take a look..."

After Lin Ran told Mulan the Qin family's route, Mulan's expression became a little strange. She looked at Lin Ran and couldn't help but confirm it again, saying, "Mr. Lin, is this really the route they are going to take?"

"Yes, their guide told me personally!" Lin Ran said.

"That's weird!"

Mulan grabbed her hair, looked at the map in her hand, then gazed at the ancient battlefield, frowning in thought.

Lin Ran did not bother Mulan. He sat back next to Mu Shishuang and took out a ring from his space ring and placed it in Mu Shishuang's palm. Seeing Mu Shishuang looking at him, he explained, "This is a ring that can withstand a Nirvana attack. I don't have much money, so this was given to me by someone else."

This thing was taken out of the warehouse by Li Yuhan when they first set out. Lin Ran has never been able to use it, but now he can give it to Mu Shishuang.

"Thank you!"

Mu Shishuang was not being pretentious. She knew that the journey ahead would be dangerous, and Lin Ran probably gave this because he was worried about her safety.

She remembered that her sister had also worn a ring, and she couldn't help but follow her sister and put the ring on the ring finger of her left hand.

Seeing how Mu Shishuang wore it, Lin Ran's eyelids twitched, but he didn't know what to say for the moment. He thought that Mu Shishuang was probably just wearing it casually. After all, people from Kyushu Continent didn't care much about where they wore the ring.

While they were resting, Lin Chong also ran over.

"Father!"

Lin Chong, dressed in black, looked particularly energetic and looked at Lin Ran with a bright smile on his face.

"I see you're not looking for me, you're looking for Yuemei!"

Lin Ran still remembered the scene of greeting each other in the carriage when they set out, and he brought it up to joke about it.

"master!"

Fu Yuemei immediately popped her head out of the carriage and looked at Lin Ran with a pouty face, but soon a smile spread across her face, and she looked at Lin Chong and shouted, "Brother Lin Chong!"

"Hello, Brother Lin Chong!"

All the young ladies in the carriage stuck their heads out and shouted in unison.

This made Lin Chong and Fu Yuemei blush. Lin Chong scratched his head and stood there grinning. Fu Yuemei also shyly waved her pink fist and punched her good sisters: "You are so annoying!"

After some playfulness, the atmosphere became more harmonious and joyful. After chatting with Fu Yuemei for a while, Lin Chong mentioned the ancient battlefield that was about to start. Lin Chong also looked solemn. He came to Lin Ran and said in a low voice: "Father, the dean told me that you must not fall behind later. They want to get rid of you, but we will mark you along the way!"

"Please say thank you to Dean Wenling for me!" Lin Ran rubbed Lin Chong's head and said with a smile.

Coincidentally, people from Tianli Academy also came over to call Lin Chong. Lin Chong could only say goodbye to Lin Ran and Fu Yuemei and hurried back to his team.

After Lin Chong returned, Lin Ran shook his head, pinched Mu Shishuang's cheek, and said with a smile: "It's really interesting that you are so powerful and still play such tricks."

Mu Shishuang glanced at Lin Ran, rubbed her face with her hand, then took Lin Ran's hand and wrote:

"You old man, you still like to pinch little girls' faces even at this age!"

Lin Ran: "..."

What you said makes me sound like a pervert. Besides, you are just a little ghost girl, and your age in the spirit race is probably even older than him!

……

129. Mu Shishuang’s method

The team that had hesitated for a long time at the entrance of this ancient battlefield finally set off. The five major academies all parked their carriages and horses in this place and crossed the ancient battlefield on foot.

The Qin family's guide was leading the way in front, and Lin Ran and the others followed behind Tianli Academy. Of course, Lin Ran also told Songling Academy that he might follow Mulan's route and not completely follow the Qin family's route.

The result was somewhat unexpected. Brother Yue Lei from Songling Academy chose to follow them.

When asked about Yue Lei, the boy said: "Following you, a thief, will definitely be safe. If I follow that side, I'm afraid I'll fall into a pit and no one will save me!"

Although Yue Lei looks big and strong, like a fat man, he is very smart and clever. This may be the reason why Songling Academy let him lead the team.

The route they took before was the same as that taken by Mulan and the Qin family's guide. Perhaps this was already a recognized safe route.

Walking on this land, your feet are stepping on the pitch-black scorched earth that has long lost its vitality and where even weeds cannot survive. Your eyes can see the swords, spears, and halberds stuck in the scorched earth around you. They are already rotten, and you can even witness with your own eyes a gust of wind and sand blowing by, and the rotten swords and spears turn into dust and merge into the dust.

The invisible sense of oppression also increased sharply as they entered the ancient battlefield. Those above the Nirvana Realm were still fine, but the younger ones in the Lingdan Realm and Hualing Realm suffered. Mulan, who led the way, dealt with it more calmly than those younger ones.

"Mulan, you can do this!"

Lin Ran walked beside Mulan and couldn't help but praise her: "My students are not as good as you in this aspect!"

"Hey, Mr. Lin is always making fun of me. They just can't adapt to the environment here!"

Mulan wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and continued, "Mr. Lin, the team will stop for a while. I may need to re-evaluate the route!"

"Of course that's no problem!"

Lin Ran gestured to stop, and the teams from the two academies stopped.

Mulan wiped her sweaty hands on her pants, took out a map, then took out a strange disc, and squatted on the ground to determine the location.

Lin Ran was not in a hurry to move forward, the safety of the team was still the first priority.

He asked Fu Yuemei and the other kids to take a short rest. After hearing what Lin Ran said, Fu Yuemei and the others sat down on the ground without any image, took out the energy-recovering pills and started eating them.

Looking at the look on these guys' faces, Lin Ran couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and teased, "If you guys are like this, what are you going to do in the secret realm when the time comes?"

The thin and dark Xiao Zhuang took a big gulp of water from the kettle, pointed at the scorching sun in the sky, and complained: "Mr. Lin, the sun in Qianzhou is too strong. I feel like walking around a volcano. I'm going to get even darker!"

"Hahaha!"

Xiao Zhuang's words caused everyone to laugh.

Xiao Qian ruthlessly complained: "You are already as black as charcoal, it won't make any difference if you get any darker!"

Xiao Zhuang's brothers were also holding his shoulders and laughing. Xiao Zhuang's face turned red, and he stood up and said angrily: "If I were white, I would be absolutely stunningly handsome. Just wait and see!"

But Xiao Zhuang's words attracted more laughter. Even Mu Shishuang couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene.

Lin Ran, who was standing by, saw Mu Shishuang smile and couldn't help but say, "That's it. You look so good when you smile. Why do you keep a straight face every day?"

Mu Shishuang immediately put away the smile on her face, pulled Lin Ran's hand over, and wrote: "Mind your own business!"

"If I hadn't meddled in your business, you would have died of the heat or been crushed to death by the spiritual pressure!" Lin Ran said while rubbing Mu Shishuang's head hard.

Before entering this ancient battlefield, Lin Ran asked Mu Shishuang to stay beside him. He could constantly mobilize his spiritual power to help Mu Shishuang resist the spiritual pressure and the abnormal temperature like a furnace.

Mu Shishuang thought about it, then took Lin Ran's hand and continued writing: "Unblock me, and I will help you get revenge!"

"do not want!"

After Lin Ran whispered something in Mu Shishuang's ear, he pulled Mu Shishuang to Mulan's side.

Looking at Mulan, who was squatting on the ground and sweating profusely, Lin Ran handed her some spiritual energy-recovering pills and said, "Are there any results? Mulan, if we don't leave now, I'm afraid we will be left behind by the people ahead!"

Lin Ran glanced at the three academies in front of him. They were already quite far away, so he could only look at the black shadow from afar.

"Give me a little more time. I am confirming the changes in the ancient battlefield!"

Mulan said in a deep voice. She stood up from time to time and touched the soil on the ground, then walked around with the strange disc.

Lin Ran didn't bother him when he saw this. When he was about to take a rest, he saw Yue Lei coming over and couldn't help but said, "Brother Yue Lei, are you getting anxious waiting?"

"No, I just came over here to see what's going on!"

Yue Lei said that he wanted to chat with Lin Ran, but when he saw the beautiful woman standing next to Lin Ran, his eyes looked a little strange.

Speaking of which, he didn't quite understand why Lin Ran led the team and brought a weak woman along. Although she was a little more knowledgeable, she was no match for the sixth-rank alchemist, Dean Wen's sister, Wen Qianyi?

Lin Ran noticed Yue Lei's eyes and couldn't help but hit Yue Lei and said, "Yue Lei, you kid, just say what you want to say. You're dithering like a woman."

"You have really strong hands!"

Yue Lei rubbed his arm. Lin Ran didn't use any spiritual power, nor did he exert any strength, but this hammer still hurt him. No wonder his body could withstand the pressure from Jin Qiusheng.

Yue Lei glanced at the group of people who had become small black dots in the distance and said, "Do you think they will run into something?"

"What?" Lin Ran asked back.

Yue Lei stroked his chin, looked at Lin Ran in surprise and said, "Don't you know? The space of this ancient battlefield is very unstable. If you take an unsafe path, you may accidentally bump into another space. There are unexpected dangers in those spaces, and almost no one can come back alive."

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Ran was shocked.

He couldn't help but look at Mulan who was walking back with the disc, and asked, "Mulan, is there really such a thing in the ancient battlefield?"

Mulan naturally heard what Yue Lei and Lin Ran said. The two did not hold back their voices. Mulan said with a bitter look on her face, "This is what I'm worried about. Not long ago, a mercenary team from our side was heading to Qianlong Mountain, and almost all of them were wiped out in the ancient battlefield. Only one person was lucky enough not to be involved in the mysterious space."

"What's giving me a headache now is that if I go a few hundred meters further, there will be a fork in the road. The people ahead of me are choosing the northwest direction."

"But that road is from the last cycle. But now the ancient battlefield has changed. The northeast and southwest directions seem to be possible again. So I am a little unsure..."

Mulan's tone was a little discouraged. She had been doing this job for many years and could say that she had always completed the mission safely. But this time, she was stumped by this ancient battlefield. If she took the wrong turn at the fork ahead, then every step that followed would be wrong.

Hearing Mulan's words, Lin Ran and Yue Lei were silent. Just when Lin Ran wanted to say something, his hand was held up and Mu Shishuang wrote on it: "I can help you judge, trust me, okay?"

At the same time, Lin Ran remembered what Fanhua said: "Hey, Lin Ran, have you forgotten me? If I am here, even if you are involved in those spaces, I can get you out.

And I can also help you determine which space is dangerous, you just need to use the ability of the Tassel Palace!"

"Thank you!"

After Lin Ran thanked Fanhua, he whispered in Mu Shishuang's ear: "Thank you!"

After saying that, Lin Ran rubbed Mu Shishuang's head, then made a decisive decision and said, "Mulan, keep going. When you reach the fork in the road, I will be able to tell which road will be safer."

"I understand, Mr. Lin!"

Mulan nodded and continued to walk ahead to lead the way.

After resting for a while, the group set out again and came to the fork in the road that Mulan mentioned. There were several craters surrounding the place, and there was a small road in the northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast directions.

Of course, if you accidentally slide into the hole, who knows what will happen.

Although those pits seem harmless, many people have fallen into them, and in the end they all turned into white bones.

When they got to the center, Mulan pointed to the northwest, looked at Lin Ran and said, "Mr. Lin, if you want to be safe, you can actually follow the northwest direction. Now we have entered a new cycle of the ancient battlefield. Although the northwest direction may not be safe, it is definitely safer than other roads."

"Let me think about it!" Lin Ran said.

He looked down at Mu Shishuang beside him. Mu Shishuang moved away from Lin Ran for a while. Suddenly, a purple light appeared on her body and her expression became extremely painful. Many runes twisting like insects emerged from Mu Shishuang's body.

“Shi Shuang, stop!”

Lin Ran was shocked. He didn't expect that the method Mu Shishuang mentioned was to forcibly mobilize his own strength. Didn't she know that this would bring great pain to herself?

Such a scene happened suddenly, and everyone in the team couldn't help but be stunned.
