I'm the protagonist's dad, but the heroines want to kill me

"Yes, they took another road in the ancient battlefield, and they should also encounter those 'Void Hunters'!" Lin Ran said.

Isn't Lin Ran worried? In fact, he is also worried about Lin Chong. Even though he knows that Lin Chong is the protagonist and has the protagonist's aura bonus, who knows if this protagonist's aura will suddenly become invalid, or what? He doesn't want to be the old man sending the young away. If Xiao Chong gets into trouble, he and Qi Qin will not be able to explain.

"According to what you said before, with the dean of the inner courtyard of Tianli Academy taking care of you, there shouldn't be any problem!" Shangguan Mengqing noticed that Lin Ran was a little depressed, so she comforted him and quickly asked, "Xiao Chong, have you thought about which super sect you will join after you achieve good results in the secret realm?"

"Of course you should go to the Sword Sect where you are. When he asked me, I strongly recommended it!"

Lin Ran even winked at Shangguan Mengqing and teased her, "Please take good care of my son when the time comes. You will be his mother, too!"

"Find some time and I'll practice with you. You may not have an opponent for a long time!" Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

"Comrade Mengqing, what I said just now was just a joke. Please be magnanimous and forget it!" Lin Ran begged for mercy quickly.

"late!"

……

After all the preparations were completed, Lin Ran and others entered this "surprise jungle" fully armed. Their figures were soon blocked by the weeds that were half a person's height. Soon, they disappeared from sight.

No one knows what kind of dangers they will encounter in this jungle next. After they can safely pass through this jungle, the Qianlong Secret Realm will not be far away.

.....

142. Pink Mist in the Swamp

In the Surprise Jungle, the air is filled with poisonous miasma that is invisible to the naked eye. It clings to the thick humidity and is inhaled into the lungs along with breathing.

If you magnify it infinitely, you will find that as you breathe, small black dots gradually appear in your lungs. If this accumulates over time, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Lin Ran and his group were walking in the jungle. Each of them was wearing a cloak, a special mask on their face, and a sachet with a strange fragrance hanging around their waist. It looked quite strange.

This time, Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing were walking in front to lead the way, while Mulan was directing the way behind them. They had been walking for nearly half an hour, but in this short period of time, they encountered many dangers along the way.

Just now, they encountered many human-like tree monsters, who were very dark in appearance. They originally thought that they were some dead trees that posed no threat, so they led the team to pass by them. However, they never expected that those tree monsters suddenly came alive and swung their overwhelming vine webs towards them.

Fortunately, with the support of Shangguan Mengqing's Heavenly Fire, they easily got rid of the group of tree monsters, but this did serve as a reminder to everyone not to be careless about the seemingly ordinary things in the jungle.

"and many more!"

When the people who were walking forward heard Lin Ran's voice in front of them, they all stopped at once and looked over with puzzled eyes.

Lin Ran frowned and stepped on the ground slightly. The extremely soft ground made him cautious all of a sudden. He looked at Shangguan Mengqing and said, "It seems that there is a swamp ahead..."

The area of ​​Qianlong Mountain is the same as the ancient battlefield. Your soul power cannot be extended at all and can only explore a very small area around it. Even Shangguan Mengqing, who is in the Dragon Transformation Realm, is no exception. As for the Immortal Realm, perhaps this limitation can be ignored.

Without the help of soul power, the ability to perceive the surroundings would be poor. That is why they had to be extra careful when moving forward.

Shangguan Mengqing looked at Mulan, whose cloak was stained with mud. She took out the kettle to wash her hands, took out the map and looked through it carefully, and then explored it with a disc.

She said with certainty: "We are on the right road. We must pass through a swamp. This swamp is very large and is also the place where the most dangers are hidden."

Lin Ran shrugged and glanced at Shangguan Mengqing, and said in his mind: "It seems that there is no way, you are going to become a mud fairy!"

Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran with eyes that revealed an extremely cold murderous intent. Lin Ran suddenly shifted his gaze, which was darting around.

"Childish devil!"

Shangguan Mengqing muttered to herself in her heart. She looked at the team and said, "Everyone, we are going to wade into the swamp next. We need to stay close together and use our spiritual power to protect ourselves. If we encounter danger, we can immediately ask for help from the people around us!"

"it is good!"

Everyone responded in unison.

The team continued to move forward. After walking for about a few dozen meters, Lin Ran felt his feet sinking into the water, and he knew that they had reached their destination.

He couldn't help but look over there, but unfortunately his sight was blocked by the unknown plants. However, he could see quite a few pools of water. Some of the pools were very turbid, while others were still clean with just some broken grass and fallen leaves floating on the surface.

"Be careful of the insects here and the monsters that may appear in the swamp at any time!" Lin Ran reminded.

Shangguan Mengqing nodded. She also agreed with this point very much. The two of them moved forward in the direction pointed by Mulan. Lin Ran deliberately used his spiritual power to protect Mu Shishuang who was on his back.

Shangguan Mengqing took a look but didn't say much. She concentrated on the road ahead. Her premonition told her that they would be very unlucky and encounter a great danger.

“It’s really uncomfortable to walk in a place like this!”

Xiao Qian in the team couldn't help but complain. She shook the mud off her hands and found a relatively clean water place to wash them.

Chi Si Nian on the side also had a look of despair on her face. For a girl like her with obsessive-compulsive disorder, walking in such a place was a torture all the time. The most annoying thing was that there were insects flying around in the air from time to time, which was really annoying.

"Just bear with it for now!"

Fu Yuemei held her weapon, the fan, in her hand to drive away the insects around her. These ugly creatures kept buzzing and were almost annoyed.

The Tianshan Sword Sect also has mostly female disciples, so they have the same feeling as the Linghua Academy and are eager to leave this hellish place.

After all, walking in this swamp that is almost up to the chest, facing the possibility of suffocation at any time and guarding against monsters that may appear at any time, is enough to make people exhausted.

When Shangguan Mengqing casually cut a piece of wildly growing weeds, her eyes suddenly focused and she quickly sent a telepathic message: "Lin Ran, look to the right!"

"what?"

Lin Ran looked in the direction Shangguan Mengqing said, and a layer of pink mist visible to the naked eye began to spread there.

"That mist...could it be that it is sprayed out from some plants?" Lin Ran guessed.

Shangguan Mengqing nodded: "It's very likely. Ask Mulan?"

"it is good!"

The two of them quickly exchanged opinions, but this left Mulan stunned. The two of them suddenly stopped and looked at each other. What was going on?

"Mulan!" Lin Ran shouted.

"Mr. Lin, what's wrong?" Mulan looked at Lin Ran.

Then Lin Ran pointed to that area and pointed out the pink mist. When Mulan saw it, she was confused. She quickly took out her notebook and flipped through it quickly. She said curiously, "When I came here before... there was no such mist!"

"It seems like we have encountered a big gift package!" Lin Ran exclaimed.

"Keep walking!"

Shangguan Mengqing continued to move forward, "When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten itself out!"

Lin Ran turned around to look at Mu Shishuang. Seeing that the latter had put on the mask, he felt relieved and quickly followed Shangguan Mengqing's steps.

As the team went deeper, the pink mist that filled the surroundings became more and more numerous and thicker.

Lin Ran had to stop the team again, and he discussed a method with Shangguan Mengqing.

"Elder Heng, you protect the disciples of Tianshan Sword Sect, you are tied up with ropes... Brother Yue Lei, you too..." Lin Ran gave orders one by one. When it came to his own team, Lin Ran had a headache.

But what surprised Lin Ran was that Huang Shishi actually took the initiative to step forward and take on this task.

Lin Ran looked at this senior brother who liked Shangguan Mengqing and couldn't help but thank him: "Brother Shishi, thank you!"

"no need to thank me!"

Huang Shishi glanced at Shangguan Mengqing and Lin Ran, and said with a smile on his face: "Vice President Lin and my junior sister have been leading the way in front, so naturally I have to do something as well. Let me protect the students of your college!"

A gleam of light flashed in Shangguan Mengqing's eyes, and she said calmly: "Brother, you should also pay attention to safety!"

"I will!"

Huang Shishi rubbed his nose and answered cheerfully.

After a brief adjustment, Lin Ran and his party dared to go deeper into the pink mist. When they went deeper until there was almost only a pink world in front of them, high-rise buildings appeared in front of Lin Ran, and the scene of a modern city appeared before his eyes.

"Lin Ran, something has invaded your spiritual ocean!"

A cold shout from the flowers was like a basin of ice water that instantly woke Lin Ran up.

The tall buildings in front of Lin Ran disappeared, replaced by a swamp filled with pink mist. Lin Ran scooped up the relatively clean water and splashed it on his face. He spat to the side and cursed, "What the hell, how did you bring me into this illusion!"

"You woke up faster than I thought!"

Hearing the voice, Lin Ran couldn't help but look at Shangguan Mengqing next to him. When he turned his head, he saw Shangguan Mengqing's deep blue eyes burning with the Holy Flame of Mirror Moon, and was a little dazed for a moment.

But soon Shangguan Mengqing continued: "I forgot that you had Fanhua's help. Thank Fanhua, otherwise you will become like the girl behind you."

"What happened to Shi Shuang?"

Lin Ran quickly turned around and looked at Mu Shishuang. Mu Shishuang's eyes were actually filled with pink at this moment. She held Lin Ran's back tightly with both hands, her body trembling uncontrollably, and she shouted tremblingly: "Father...sister..."

"this…"

Lin Ran looked at Fu Yuemei and the others behind him, Huang Shishi, Yue Lei, and even Elder Heng who was in the Dragon Transformation Realm, all had pink light flashing in their eyes. They were all trapped in their own illusions, muttering to themselves, and finally they all walked towards a certain direction.

"Yuemei, where are you going?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but exclaimed. He stepped forward to stop Fu Yuemei, but her disciple seemed not to recognize her and actually used her spiritual power to punch him in the abdomen. Lin Ran and Mu Shishuang behind him flew backwards.

Upon seeing this, Shangguan Mengqing swung out a deep blue ball of spiritual light, came behind Lin Ran, removed all the force from Lin Ran's body, and slowly fell back into the swamp with Lin Ran.

"Mengqing, thank you!"

Lin Ran thanked them. He looked at Fu Yuemei and the others who were walking slowly with some worry. Then he looked at the pink mist that enveloped the surroundings. He said helplessly, "We still ignored this strange mist..."

Unexpectedly, this pink mist was infiltrating without anyone noticing. Even Elder Heng, who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm, was controlled. This shows the power of this mist.

If he hadn't had Fanhua's help, he would probably have ended up like that, right?

"Let me go, let me go!"

Behind Lin Ran, Mu Shishuang suddenly yelled like crazy and struggled non-stop.

"Shi Shuang, calm down!" Lin Ran shouted.

But his calling had no effect at all. Mu Shishuang even opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth, and bit Lin Ran hard. Although he didn't even break the skin, he could still show the power of the pink mist.

"bump!"

A dull sound was heard, and Mu Shishuang's head tilted and fell beside Lin Ran's shoulder.

Shangguan Mengqing said calmly, "Be decisive. Let's go. Let's catch up quickly. Maybe we can find the culprit!"

"it is good!"

.....

143. Demonic insects and poisonous creatures, old man

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing were the only two people in the team who were not affected by the pink mist, while Fu Yuemei and even Elder Heng, a powerful Dragon Transformation Realm expert, were affected.

This was the biggest crisis their team had encountered so far. If there was no way to get rid of this pink mist, the team would probably suffer heavy casualties before reaching the Qianlong Secret Realm.

Lin Ran followed beside his disciple and looked at the devout and joyful expression on Fu Yuemei's face. Not only Fu Yuemei, but also Huang Shishi and Elder Heng felt the same way.

He couldn't help but whisper to Meng Qing: "Did you notice the expressions on their faces? They were sad before, but now they are different!"

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at it and nodded, with a flash of thought in his eyes. He guessed, "It seems that the illusion created at present is to make people immersed in joy, first bitter and then sweet? Haha!"

As if she had thought of something, Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran with a smile in her eyes and said, "It's too early for Fanhua to take action. I want to see how you are immersed in the illusion. I guess you have many wives and concubines and are always doing inappropriate things!"

Lin Ran: "..."

Is he really so lustful? Even those who are immersed in the joy of fantasy are like this. Isn't it too insulting to me, Lin?

Lin Ran had a serious face and said in a tone of teaching by an elder: "Meng Qing, you should know when to joke. We are in danger now. Let's think about how to rescue our companions first!"

"Ok!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded obediently, pointed her finger forward, and said, "Old man, there is a problem, find a way to solve it!"

"what?"

Lin Ran looked in the direction Shangguan Mengqing pointed, subconsciously took a step back, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, what the hell is this!"

Following Fu Yuemei and the others, Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing found the source of the pink mist. In front of them stood a dead black old tree in the center.

The big tree was hollow and was parasitic on a large mass of pink flesh. On the top of the flesh there were several very large red petals. The pistil in the center emitted a large pink mist as the flesh squirmed.

Nearby, there were many roots growing in the muddy water, but they were pink in color and looked like water pipes. The roots were transparent, and sometimes emitted red light, which spread all the way to the lump of meat in the center.

Shangguan Mengqing's eyes were sharp. She noticed that the roots were absorbing corpses. The corpses were soaked to a miserable white color, and their expressions were filled with joy and happiness. It seemed that they died in happiness.

"Lin Ran!"

Shangguan Mengqing suddenly shouted, Lin Ran turned around, and then Lin Ran felt his left hand being pulled into the pool by a huge force, and the two of them fell headfirst into the pool.

The water in the swamp happened to be relatively clear. The two of them stared at each other in the water. Lin Ran sent a telepathic message, "Why did you pull me down? No, you also pulled Shi Shuang down!"
