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

"It's okay, I'm tough!"

Lin Chong said casually, didn't pick up the sword, and went to help the mercenaries in front of the convoy.

Lin Ran also noticed the situation on Xiao Chong's side, but speaking of it, it seems that it is not necessarily possible to kill him. The amount of fighting spirit that Xiao Chong's Taiqing spirit body can contain is far beyond the same level, and the quality is also very high. Is this the so-called bloodline? He really gave Xiao Chong a good mother.

I don't know what happened to that silly Mu Qiqin. She must have separated her spirit body and gave it to Lin Chong. She must be punished to death in the tribe this time. But where is the spirit tribe? Lin Ran couldn't help but think wildly.

After a hard fight, their convoy finally killed all the dozen or so sharp-clawed white apes, but it also came at a heavy price, with many casualties.

But they couldn't stay in this forest road for too long, and they had to leave it as soon as possible. Before the convoy set off again, Ye Wanxi distributed a lot of healing elixirs to everyone. When giving the elixirs to Lin Ran, Ye Wanxi also talked to Lin Ran for a few more words.

Lin Ran naturally knew that Ye Wanxi wanted to test him, but this girl's skills were still too shallow, so Lin Ran sent her away with a few words. Anyway, he had just put in a lot of effort in the battle. Without his command and the secret attacks on the Daoyuan realm's sharp-clawed white ape, Hong Sen's injuries might be more serious after fighting against the sharp-clawed white ape.

The convoy was attacked by two waves of monsters and the vehicles were damaged to varying degrees, which slowed down its progress a lot. Fortunately, there were not many monster attacks afterwards. The convoy, which had become frightened birds, drove out of this strange forest and did not continue to move towards the Nanshan Pass section at night. Instead, it found a relatively safe place to camp.

There is still a long stretch of desert Gobi before Nanshan Pass. After passing this area, you will reach Nanshan Pass.

But before, not to mention that it was extremely dangerous, it was also said that there was a desert Gobi desert, and that there were often inexplicable sandstorms recently, as well as all kinds of strange monsters, both in the sky and underground. Many people were tricked by these monsters and were brutally killed.

So after knowing this information, Ye Wanxi decided not to take the risk and enter this strange desert in the middle of the night, but instead let the convoy camp in a canyon cave not far from the desert, which can also block the wind and sand.

And after today's painful lesson, the people in the caravan also know that animal repellent powder is very important in the wild, so they deliberately sprinkled the animal repellent powder around the station.

The night enveloped the desert. Above the sky, a bright moon hung high in the night sky, sprinkling its cool moonlight on the desert, making it seem extremely cold and desolate.

There are few people in the desert, but fortunately there are quite a few people in this caravan. They camped inside the cave entrance, lit a bonfire, and the place was filled with bustling voices, which diluted the coldness and silence of the desert.

"Come on, brother, let me toast you. If it weren't for you, I might have died here today!" A thin man with a full beard put his arm around Lin Ran's shoulders and said enthusiastically.

Lin Ran raised the wine jug and clinked his glass with the man's, making a crisp sound. The two of them drank happily. The hot feeling rose from their stomachs and spread throughout their bodies, driving away some of the coldness of the desert.

"Come, I toast to you too. If you hadn't reminded me, I might have ended up dead with that wretched guy today." A shorter and fatter man came over holding a wine jug.

The thin man who said this cursed: "What a wretched man! Watch your words, you little fat man."

"What little fat guy? You want to fight, right? You dirty bastard!" The man called little fat guy also became angry and retorted angrily.

Lin Ran saw the two of them suddenly quarreling with each other, and looked at the man next to them who seemed calm and had a scholarly temperament, and asked, "Do they do this every day?"

"Yeah, we always bicker as soon as we meet, you'll get used to it!" The elegant man raised the wine jar and toasted Lin Ran: "I didn't like you before, but today you saved my life. You are my brother, thank you!"

After saying that, the man raised his head and started to gulp down the wine from the jar. He drank very wildly. It seemed that under his elegant face, he hid an even wilder character.

Because there were two daughters of the Ye family present, there would usually be a lot of people telling dirty jokes, but today no one said much. They were just drinking and bragging, trying to release the life and death pressure they were facing today.

Lin Chong was invited by Ye Wanxi to come here and sit together, drinking wine. The two daughters, who usually didn't drink much, also drank in such an atmosphere today. Their faces turned red after drinking. The elder sister looked more charming and gentle, while the younger sister became more passionate and wild, talking nonsense from time to time, which made her look cute.

Use this test to test the young comrade Lin Chong.

Comrade Lin Chong said that it was indeed a bit unbearable. His heartbeat quickened and he could not help wanting to take a few more glances. Lin Chong immediately thought about focusing on his cultivation and suppressed the love in his heart.

"Mr. Lin Jiang, would you like to eat this roasted lamb?" Ye Wanxi pointed at the fat lamb leaning on the grill in front of her and said with a smile.

The rosy face illuminated by the bonfire raised a beautiful and brilliant smile, and the eyes after drinking seemed somewhat charming.

Lin Chong was distracted for a moment and said quickly, "Let me cut it myself!"

"No, I'll do it!"

Ye Wanxi smiled, picked up the plate, and waved her white and slender hands, as white as jade, with a sharp knife, cut a large piece of lamb leg from the fat sheep and gave it to Lin Chong. After Lin Chong took the plate, he hurriedly lowered his head to eat. He really didn't dare to look at her for a few more times, for fear that he would not be able to resist the beauty of women and delay his cultivation.

Lin Ran, who had been listening to the bragging of the strong men, was also paying attention to his son Lin Chong's movements. He couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart: "Son, don't force yourself. If you can't resist such temptation, then you can't resist it. I tell you, even if the Jade Emperor came, he would be confused and fascinated by this. What's wrong with men being lustful!"

Lin Ran is definitely not making excuses for himself. The famous Brother Long said that I just made a mistake that all men in the world would make. (I don’t mean to provoke a fight, haha~)

Chapter 56: Strange Creatures in the Sandstorm

After eating and drinking, some people were even drunk. However, Ye Wanxi was still a little scared when she thought of what happened today, so she asked Hong Sen to come over. After saying a few words in Hong Sen's ear, Hong Sen went down and ordered: "Come here, let's discuss the candidates for the night watch..."

Finally, the list of people on night watch was finalized, and Lin Ran was assigned to the first one. This was also Ye Wanxi's request, because today's battle showed that the scarred man they recruited was cold and silent.

Although he doesn't look very friendly, he still plays a very important role in the battle. He is not only cautious but also knowledgeable. It is best to let him be the first to keep watch.

Because the cave was very spacious, the carriage and supplies were also pulled in. The two young ladies of the Ye family went back to their own carriage to sleep. As for the carriage that had several large holes smashed by stones today, they also found some wooden boards to patch it up, also to ensure the privacy of the two daughters.

As the first one to keep watch, Lin Ran sat at the entrance of the cave. There were some guys who were not sleepy, so Lin Ran chatted with them about what had happened recently in the desert.

He naturally had no idea what was going to happen in the desert. Although these guys seemed to be very unskilled in surviving and fighting in the wild, they were still able to get information.

The little fat boy who had been arguing before was actually an informant. This time he joined the Ye family's team because they were going to Nanshan Pass together. He knew a lot of strange things in the desert recently.

"Brother, I tell you, if you see a sandstorm tomorrow, just run away. It's better to be blown away by the wind than to be killed by those strange monsters.

It was those strange monsters that caused the team that wanted to go to Nanshan Pass to suffer heavy losses. If it was just an ordinary sandstorm, it would be nothing! "The little fat man lowered his voice and said to Lin Ran seriously.

"Oh, are those monsters very powerful?" Lin Ran asked curiously.

"It's not that they are strong, but they are very strange. Those monsters are not afraid of being cut or hurt. They are like an immortal piece of meat."

Hearing the little fat man's words, Lin Ran was stunned. Isn't this just like a mummy? Could it be that this kind of monster also requires a specific attack to be defeated?

"Have you found any way to deal with it yet?" Lin Ran asked curiously.

The little fat man sighed and said helplessly: "If it had been discovered, this shortcut might not have been abandoned. Now if you want to go to Nanshan Pass, you basically have to go to the royal capital and then go around from the royal capital."

"Then why did you decide to follow this path?" Lin Ran couldn't help but feel a little strange. Now that he knew this information and still insisted on following this path, it would be a bit irrational.

When the little fat man heard that, he shook his head, looked at the man who had quarreled with him tonight and was called "sleazy guy", and said: "I am accompanying this bastard back to Nanshan Pass. I heard that his mother was critically ill, so I wanted to see this bastard get married and fulfill a wish. If I go to the capital, I'm afraid that if I go back, I will be...

"It's okay, we will go back safely tomorrow!" Lin Ran's face was somewhat moved, and he patted the fat boy's shoulder.

The little fat boy thought that Lin Ran was just comforting him. Having to walk in this desert for such a long time, who knows if something might suddenly happen.

Nothing unusual happened that night.

The next morning, the convoy set off towards Nanshan Pass.

With the arrival of noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the scorching temperature continued to burn the desert Gobi. Even the vision in front seemed to become blurred and distorted. The occasional sandstorm made people feel irritated.

The floor is like a heated iron plate. It feels like it will burn your feet when you step on it. Every time you walk on it, you can't help but grimace.

From a geographical point of view, a desert is actually an arid area with scarce rainfall and sparse vegetation, which limits human survival.

There are also desert areas covered with sand in the desert, but the direction their convoy is heading does not pass through the desert areas. Nanshan Pass is a large oasis at the end of the desert, and it is also the place with the most concentrated human activities in this desert area.

The convoy was walking in the desert, everyone was sweating profusely, and they had to use their internal fighting spirit to resist the occasional sandstorm and the scorching temperature that could make people faint.

Inside the carriage, the two young ladies of the Ye family, who usually seldom opened the curtains, felt a little uncomfortable with the hot temperature and opened all the curtains. Although hot air blew in, it was still much better than being stuffy inside the carriage.

Ye Wanxi wiped the sweat from her forehead with a handkerchief, gently stroked her wet hair, picked up the water bag, raised her head and drank a few sips gracefully, then gave the water bag to her sister Ye Qingyi. Ye Wanxi took out another water bag, walked a little forward, leaned against the curtain, looked at the sweaty Lin Chong and said, "Master Lin Jiang, drink some water!

"it is good!"

Lin Chong was indeed very thirsty, so he picked up the water bag and took a few big gulps. When a person is thirsty, even the plain water that one usually looks down upon seems like nectar, sweet and delicious.

Ye Wanxi looked at Hun Sen who was driving and asked, "Hun Sen, how far are we from Nanshan Pass?"

"It should take a few more days of driving. The weather now is a bit extreme. It has never been this strange before. I wonder if it has something to do with the recent rumors of changes." Hong Sen said curiously. When they were on their way to Linshan City before, they had never encountered such strange weather. Now the temperature here is higher than before. It is difficult to withstand it without cultivation.

Lin Ran, who was at the end of the convoy, heard their conversation because he was always paying attention to the front. He felt that this was a bad sign. There were still many restricted areas in this desert that had never been touched by anyone in the Li Dynasty. Would a great treasure suddenly appear in this desert as soon as his son, the son of destiny, arrived?

Lin Ran thought so, and then, sometimes whatever he thought would come true...

Not long after, the sky suddenly darkened without any warning, and the originally gentle hot wind suddenly turned into a strong gale mixed with sand, which caused pain on people's skin.

Far away on their right hand side, they could see a yellow tornado of dust rising up in the distance. The horrible gale was blowing the carriage all around, and the frightened horses were screaming and looking a little out of control.

Hun Sen, who was in the middle of the convoy, immediately shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and stabilize the carriages and supplies. Stay where you are and lean against those heavy objects to avoid being swept away."

At this time, the fat man who had a long talk with Lin Ran last night hurriedly said: "We can't use this method. There are some strange monsters in the sandstorm. If we stay here, the monsters and insects in the sandstorm will come to attack us. They will shoot horrible and burning mucus!"

"Are there any monsters?" Ye Wanxi poked her head out of the middle carriage and asked the fat man.

"It's in that sandstorm, run quickly!"

The fat boy pointed at the inside of the sandstorm. After he saw what was inside the sandstorm, he quickly ordered the "sleazy guy" and the temperamental guy to run away. He even took chubby steps and came behind to pull Lin Ran and said, "Hurry up and run, brother!"

"You guys run first, I'll cover you!"

Lin Ran pushed the fat boy, and a stream of spiritual power gently sent the fat boy several meters away, allowing him and his brothers to quickly exert their full strength to escape.

This surprised the little fat boy a little. His little eyes widened and he was still thinking about saying something. When he saw Lin Ran waving at him, he quickly ran away with the other two brothers.

When Lin Ran saw that the little fat man had tried his best and no trace of the monster was seen for a while, he couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't help but look at the thing in the sandstorm that the little fat man had just mentioned. His eyes suddenly turned light gold, which allowed him to clearly see the thing in the sandstorm. He looked closely and saw a group of strange monsters with rotten flesh all over their bodies and wings on their heads like flies.

"Fuck, what kind of weird creature is this?" A big question mark popped up in Lin Ran's head. It was the first time he saw such a disgusting and abstract monster.

And in the sand, there seemed to be monsters wandering in the sand, which made Lin Ran shudder. This kind of unknown thing was quite scary.

He also pretended to run away, but his attention was focused on his son and the others. He was afraid that his good son would be swept into the sandstorm.

After the fat man reminded the convoy, Ye Wanxi decisively decided to abandon the car and escape, which did win a chance of survival. However, the two daughters of the Ye family, Lin Chong, Hong Sen and others who ran later were still swept into the sandstorm. The horrible sandstorm blew them into the sky.

Lin Chong was alert. In order to prevent the Ye sisters from being blown away, he had to hold their hands tightly with both hands, for fear that if he let go, they would disappear in the sandstorm.

"Lin Chong!"

Ye Wanxi looked at the strange bug behind Lin Chong that was growing bigger and bigger, and shouted loudly: "Watch out behind you!"

"what?"

Lin Chong couldn't hear what Ye Wanxi said at all, and as soon as he opened his mouth his mouth was filled with sand.

"I said be careful behind you!"

"What did you say?" Lin Chong couldn't hear clearly and couldn't help asking again, but it was too late. The strange insect had already come behind them, spewing purple mucus from its mouth.

At this time, Ye Wanxi actually gritted her teeth, and used all her strength and fighting spirit to make Lin Chong switch positions with herself.

If it had been done the same way as before, Lin Chong and his sister would have been attacked by the purple mucus. But if it was done this way now, all of the purple mucus was caught by Ye Wanxi. The clothes on her back were immediately corroded as soon as they came into contact with the mucus. The burning and stinging sensation spread from her back to her nerves, causing Ye Wanxi to scream in pain and almost faint.

"Miss Ye!"

"elder sister!"

The two of them couldn't help but scream, but the wind blew violently, and the three of them were swept into the sand and dust by this horrible natural disaster and disappeared. After Lin Ran sensed Lin Chong's breath, he also followed the direction where Lin Chong disappeared and rushed into the sand and dust...

……

Chapter 57 Dungeon

Lin Chong and the other two fainted after being swept into the dust. The three of them were only at the Daoist level, and one of them, Ye Wanxi, was even poisoned by the strange insect's mucus, and his life might be in danger. It was strange that the three of them fainted but their hands were still tightly clasped.

Lin Ran, who was following behind, noticed that Lin Chong and the other two seemed to be sucked into a strange airflow, which was actually inhalation-like. In the end, the three of them were sucked into a vortex of quicksand and disappeared.

"Why is there a vortex of quicksand here?"

Lin Ran looked at the yellow sand flowing below with his golden eyes, and sensed a powerful energy contained in it. Fearing that Xiao Chong and the others would be in danger of their lives, he also rushed into the vortex of quicksand. There turned out to be a deep, dark corridor leading to an unknown place.

"Could this be another strange relic?" Lin Ran thought to himself, because he felt that something was wrong here. It was such a long corridor, and it felt like he had been inside for several minutes, but he still hadn't reached the end. This was too exaggerated.

"Pfft!"

The long corridor finally came to an end. When Lin Ran just came out of the corridor, he saw a vast sand river below. He quickly turned into a stream of light to catch the three people who were about to crash into the sand river. With their strength at the Taoist level, if they crashed into the sand river, they would lose half their lives even if they didn't die.

Before they fell into the sand river, Lin Ran finally caught up. He reached out and picked up the three people like sandbags, and then he had time to look at this strange place.

"There is such a huge sand river under the ground. Where is the end of this sand river?" Lin Ran couldn't find a place to rest, so he could only carry the three little guys and fly towards the end of the river of yellow quicksand.

As he went deeper, Lin Ran felt more and more that this place was strange. There was a long river of quicksand here, and from time to time there were some abandoned items floating below, including corpses, wood, discarded weapons, and some forks in the road, but Lin Ran still chose to go straight. It would be better to anchor on one road and go straight at this time. The air here was surprisingly not stuffy.

It was also very cold. As he went deeper, there seemed to be a strange sound ringing in his ears, but he didn't know where the sound came from. It felt like an illusion or a ghost, which made Lin Ran feel a little numb.

After flying for a while, Lin Ran finally saw a place to rest in front of him. He sped up and flew over, threw Lin Chong and the other two on the ground nearby, and then observed the place.

This seemed to be the end of the sand river. Even Lin Ran himself did not expect that there was a square at the end. In the center of the square stood a stone statue with half of its body broken off. The other half was nowhere to be found. The base of the statue was hollowed out, and Lin Ran could see yellow sand surging inside.

Walking up a long staircase above the square, one can reach a stone gate, but the stone gate has been opened to create a passage for several people to walk through.

"Has anyone been here?" Lin Ran frowned.

He didn't think too much about it, but looked at the three little guys he threw on the ground. The vital signs of the three were still relatively stable, except for Ye Wanxi who was a little weak.

But at this time, the three little guys were covered in sand. Lin Ran took out several water bags and gave them all a cold shower.

"Cough cough!"
