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

After saying this, Shangguan Mengqing also left the cave.

Wen Qianyi looked at the two people leaving and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"If I were a little more powerful, I should be the one helping you right now..."

Chapter 135 Mysterious Lake

Darkness became the dominant color of this land. The night in the secret realm was particularly eerie and depressing. Above the sky, a full moon hung high in the night sky.

The color of the full moon was actually bright red, like the color dyed by fresh hot blood, which made people feel their scalp tingling.

The bright red moonlight poured down from the sky, dyeing the earth full of wild atmosphere red. Low and violent roars sounded one after another above the earth.

On the edge of a hilltop, Lin Ran squatted on a tree, holding two tubes connected together, looking around at them. Shangguan Mengqing was a little curious and asked, "What is this?"

"It can see things far away. Now my soul perception cannot be used. This is a great treasure!" Lin Ran explained, but thought it would be better to let Shangguan Mengqing experience it in practice, so he handed the binoculars to Shangguan Mengqing.

Shangguan Mengqing followed Lin Ran's example and brought the telescope close to her eyes. She found that there was actually transparent glass inside. Just as Lin Ran said, she could see things in the distance. On a distant hilltop, two monsters were fighting each other, shaking the earth and many trees were broken in half.

"You did it?" Shangguan Mengqing turned his head and asked.

Speaking of this, Lin Ran couldn't help but straighten his chest and said modestly: "It's just a little toy I made casually, it's just that, not worth mentioning..."

"It might be better if you could use the time you spend reading unhealthy books and making comments to practice, or make more practical and interesting gadgets like this..." Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

Lin Ran: "..."

Stop scolding, stop scolding. He was just bored on the road and found a book to kill time. He only made a comment like that, and the rest were said in the book, not published by him!

But it was difficult for Lin Ran to explain. He had already shown his perversion in the inheritance space of Qingling Sword Saint. It had been deeply rooted in people's minds and could not be washed away.

"Let's go over there and take a look. I see there seems to be a lake over there..."

Shangguan Mengqing looked around with a telescope and suddenly noticed an area with a relatively wide view and a slightly sunken basin-like terrain. Because of the strange night in the secret realm, Shangguan Mengqing himself was not sure whether it was a lake.

"Then go and have a look!"

Lin Ran had no objection. Their ultimate goal in coming here was to obtain the treasures in the lake discovered in the Lingjing Holy Land. They came out now just to survey the surrounding situation to facilitate the implementation of the plan.

The two hit it off and quickly took action.

In such a strange night, the two men were dressed in black robes and moved very quickly in the woods, like a strange wind blowing through the woods, causing the leaves to rustle.

Some monsters hiding in the dense bushes, when they sensed human presence, rushed straight forward based on their hunting instinct. One of them was a giant python as thick as a bucket, with its fangs bared and its pupils flashing a strange scarlet color. Its huge mouth could swallow a person alive.

When Lin Ran saw the giant python rushing towards him, the Qiuyu Sword in his hand had already released a golden sword energy. The sharp sword energy slashed towards the giant python, easily cutting through the thick and tough skin, splitting the giant python in half. Lin Ran held up the protective shield and passed through the giant python's body. When the hot blood touched the protective shield, it made a sizzling sound.

This was already the twentieth monster Lin Ran had killed on his way. As he traveled, the monsters would smell the scent and rush towards him like moths to a flame based on their hunting instinct, full of fighting spirit. After he killed one, another would soon come. Without exception, their eyes were flashing scarlet.

Lin Ran sent a telepathic message to Shangguan Mengqing: "I suspect that the reason these monsters are so violent and crazy is probably related to the moon, and there seem to be more and more monsters!"

When Lin Ran said this, a group of huge spiders appeared in front of him. They all had eight sharp legs like blades and were gray-black in color. It was almost difficult to see such a group of huge spiders in the darkness. Their flat heads had fly-like eyes that flashed scarlet light.

"What the hell is this!" Lin Ran's hair stood on end. It was the first time he saw such a creepy spider.

"The Blade-Eyed Spider is a monster that has already become extinct in the outside world. It is extremely warlike, cruel by nature, and moves swiftly. It can not only spit out poisonous silk, but also venom. There are always five or six of these guys appearing each time. You are very lucky. You have encountered a leader who is at the Lingdan realm." Shangguan Mengqing responded.

"You're quite joking. Am I just unlucky? How can you say I'm lucky?" Lin Ran couldn't help but retort.

"But you are lucky enough to encounter this kind of monster that has already died in the outside world here. Come on, try to keep an intact corpse so that I can take it back for research." Shangguan Mengqing said seriously after getting rid of the monster here.

"Be a human being!" Lin Ran said helplessly.

Although these blade-like multi-eyed spiders are very fast, in the face of absolute power, all their struggles are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

I saw a flash of golden light in the woods, which pierced through the darkness and became the most dazzling light at that moment.

When the golden light dissipated, the forest became a mess. The group of blade-shaped multi-eyed spiders that attacked Lin Ran did not leave even a complete corpse. Broken limbs were everywhere, including some poisonous creatures hidden in the dark, and the monsters on Shangguan Mengqing's side were all wiped out.

"Let's go and continue on our journey!" Lin Ran said.

"Ok!"

As for why he left without looking back, it was mainly because these monsters did not have anything valuable. Lin Ran had killed quite a few monsters along the way. Except for the rock beast that had a mysterious light gray bead in its body, the rest of the monsters had nothing in their bodies, not even any monster crystals.

This makes people even more curious. What on earth do these monsters rely on for energy? Why do they only appear at night, and so densely and frequently? Each monster becomes extremely violent and crazy, with scarlet light in its eyes. Is this related to the bright red moon? This secret realm still has too many unsolved secrets.

After some effort, Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing finally arrived at the sunken basin. They lay on the edge of the basin, looking inside with binoculars. The blood-red moon cast its light on the lake. The lake was calm and the entire lake was as quiet as water. Especially at night, it added a bit of weirdness to the lake.

"It is indeed a lake, but this place... it's a pity that I can't use my soul perception... otherwise I would know what is inside the lake..."

For safety reasons, Lin Ran did not speak, but spoke to Shangguan Mengqing through soul transmission.

This secret realm is very strange. It gives a negative buff to everyone who enters. The soul perception cannot extend beyond half a meter around the body. The impact is really too great. Even with the help of relevant magic tools, it is impossible to break through this limitation. Someone in their team has already tried it.

Without soul perception, everyone can only rely on their naked eyes, or other tricks to avoid being attacked or discovering others, so each family's token is very important. If it is obtained by other forces, then their own people will be exposed to their field of vision.

"This is the only lake near this area. The people from Lingjing Holy Land should be targeting this one. And with such a strange night scene, they should have found a place to hide..." Shangguan Mengqing analyzed.

Hearing Shangguan Mengqing's words, Lin Ran thought of something and said to Shangguan Mengqing excitedly: "We can sneak over there in the dark to see what their station and personnel are like. Anyway, no one can use soul perception.

We should be able to watch them from a distance and they probably won't be able to find us. When they go treasure hunting, we can catch them all after they find the treasure. That would be a fortune!"

"You are so excited to find the Holy Land of Lingjing. Are you looking for the Saint Gao Tianwen? She really doesn't wear shoes. After you capture her, you can do whatever you want. It will prolong your life, right?"

Shangguan Mengqing said calmly.

"Mengqing, Sister Qing, I beg you, please don't whip me anymore, I know I was wrong.

I will be careful with my words and actions in the future. And those words about prolonging life were not said by me, but in the book. I only wrote that one comment about you. And I knew you were Shangguan Mengqing at that time. I was outspoken. Sister Qing, I'm sorry!" Lin Ran was really depressed. He put his hands together and begged for mercy sincerely.

Shangguan Mengqing couldn't help but look at Lin Ran twice more when she heard what he said, and said softly: "I don't know if you still remember what I said before... Forget it... Let's go and take a look nearby. The people from Lingjing Holy Land should be stationed near the lake."

Shangguan Mengqing didn't say much, and was the first to get up and leave. Lin Ran was stunned, and hurriedly followed him. At the same time, he was wondering if he had forgotten something. What did Shangguan Mengqing say before?

"I have to look through my space ring when I have time. I must have forgotten something..."

The two men left the edge of the basin and began to search for any safe place nearby that was suitable for stationing.

Such a place is not difficult to find, because if you want to avoid being attacked by large-scale monsters in such a strange night, only a cave can meet such conditions.

There just happened to be several hills near the lake, which were perfect for digging out a cave.

The two spent some time and finally found the cave where the Lingjing Holy Land was stationed on a mountainside not far from the lake. The vines and branches used to cover the outside of the cave did not seem natural, but more like man-made.

Moreover, after walking around, they found this place to be the most strange, as there was powder nearby that was specifically used to drive away monsters, so the two were even more certain that this was the cave where the Lingjing Holy Land was stationed.

The two hid on a tree, staring at the cave from afar with a telescope. They were lucky as someone from the Lingjing Holy Land just happened to come out of the cave. They replenished various medicinal powders nearby, checked the surrounding situation and went back into the cave.

"The pale white Taoist robe and the badge with a furnace on the chest, this should be the Lingjing Holy Land, right?" Lin Ran asked.

"Well, it seems that Lingjing Holy Land has not taken any action yet, otherwise they would not continue to be stationed here. Let's make a mark and go back. We will come back tomorrow to see if Lingjing Holy Land has taken any action!" Shangguan Mengqing said.

"Okay!" Lin Ran nodded.

The two left some inconspicuous marks nearby and returned along the same route...

Chapter 4 Action (4K)

Wen Qianyi sat not far from the cave entrance. From time to time, her eyes would look towards the entrance, filled with worry. However, this worry was soon replaced by vigilance by the roars of fighting beasts coming from outside the cave.

Everyone in the cave was alarmed. They quickly took out their weapons and stood up, not daring to breathe. Their eyes were fixed on the cave entrance. If anyone rushed in, they believed that there would be a violent attack in the next moment to give that person a hard time.

The noisy sounds outside gradually stopped. Those who were closer saw a figure passing by the cave entrance. When Wen Qianyi was about to fight, a familiar voice rang out: "It's me, Lin Ran. I just dealt with the monster that followed us outside!"

When Wen Qianyi heard the voice, she rushed to the entrance and lifted the vines. When she saw Lin Ran smiling at her, she finally let go of the worry in her heart. She rolled her eyes at Lin Ran and said resentfully, "Senior, you made too much noise outside and scared everyone. If you hadn't said that, I'm afraid we would have taken action!"

"There's nothing we can do. These monsters are too crazy. Let's go in first!" Lin Ran shook his head helplessly and was about to go in, but Wen Qianyi stopped him and asked curiously, "Senior, where is Meng Qing?"

"She!"

Lin Ran pointed to the dark grove in the distance and said, "She's over there in the grove. She said she wanted to check whether the medicinal powder and small formations around here are ready."

"Then I'll wait for Mengqing here. Senior, you should go in and have a rest first. You must be tired after the journey!" Wen Qianyi said softly.

She noticed the blood stains on Lin Ran's cloak and knew that Lin Ran must have been attacked by many monsters during his exploration of the surroundings. Even though she had not experienced it, the continuous roars outside made people understand the danger of this secret realm.

"Okay then, Qianyi, you should also be careful. Come back and tell me immediately if there is any movement!" Lin Ran nodded and did not refuse.

He really wanted to take a short rest and think carefully about how to snatch meat from Lingjing Holy Land. Are the treasures that Lingjing Holy Land mentioned the same as they thought?

After seeing Lin Ran walk in, Wen Qianyi also took a few steps forward, wanting to see what had just happened outside, but now she could only see some traces of fighting and a faint smell of blood in the air.

"It should be that the seniors have cleaned it up!" Wen Qianyi thought secretly.

"Qianyi, come here!"

Suddenly, Wen Qianyi felt a voice coming from her ear. She looked around and found that Shangguan Mengqing had walked out from the small bushes in front of her. She waved at Wen Qianyi and added, "It's me, Mengqing. I have something to ask of you!"

Wen Qianyi subconsciously glanced over to the cave, then trotted over to Shangguan Mengqing's side. Seeing that it was indeed Shangguan Mengqing, she asked curiously, "Mengqing, is there something wrong with you?"

"Well, I would like you to make some pills."

Shangguan Mengqing handed the parchment scroll and a low-level space ring in his hand to Wen Qianyi.

Wen Qianyi also felt very familiar with the parchment when she saw it.

Because many prescriptions are written on this special parchment scroll. After being soaked in the medicinal liquid, these parchment scrolls become very tough and have a faint medicinal fragrance on them.

After taking the parchment, Wen Qianyi opened it and looked at it carefully, muttering to herself: "Qingxin Grass, Bingling Liquid, XX Fruit..."

After looking through them, Wen Qianyi was stunned. She looked at Shangguan Mengqing and asked tentatively, "I see that these herbs seem to be used to stabilize the mind and calm the mind..."

"Well, these are the pills I need for my cultivation. I've almost run out of them recently. I remember that Qianyi, you are a sixth-rank alchemist, so you should be able to refine these!" Shangguan Mengqing said.

"Of course I can refine it. I'll refine it tonight and should be able to give it to you tomorrow!" Wen Qianyi nodded.

This prescription looked quite simple, and many key points such as the temperature, pill-condensing time, etc. were all written on it. If she couldn't even make it, she would be too ashamed to see anyone.

When it comes to alchemy, Wen Qianyi also has her own pride.

"Qianyi, thank you!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded, and even took Wen Qianyi's hand and said, "Let's go back to the cave. I have sprinkled medicine powder around here. It should be a little quiet tonight."

Inside the cave, Lin Ran was chatting with a group of young people. He saw Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi walking in hand in hand, and they seemed to be whispering something. Not only did he feel a little strange, but he also had a century-old question in his mind.

“How are women’s emotions built?”

.....

After a night of madness, as the scorching sun hung in the sky again, the monsters in this stretch of mountains began to rest and lurk. If it were not for the mess everywhere in the mountains and forests, one would probably have thought this was an exceptionally quiet and secluded area of ​​green mountains and clear waters.

Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing brought several of the strongest members of the team. In fact, although they were the strongest, they were only at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm and one step away from the Spirit Pill Realm. That step was enough to hold many people back for life.

He led them out of the cave quietly, while Wen Qianyi stayed inside the cave to protect the remaining members of the team.

Lin Ran is going to do something big today, and he feels that Lingjing Holy Land will definitely choose to take action today.

He understood the principle that the longer the night, the more dreams you will have. The saint must also understand that the longer it drags on, the more likely those who have not been killed by her will come back with a large army, and then it will be their turn to be in trouble.

The figures of Lin Ran and others hurrying on the road were like ghosts, quietly floating through the woods, with only a gust of wind blowing the leaves swaying.

As Lin Ran was on his way, he looked at the handsome young man on his right. It was this young man who was being hunted by the women from the Lingjing Holy Land. He couldn't help but teased, "Chang Wei, if you see someone from the Lingjing Holy Land later, don't get so excited that you want to beat up a dog!"

"Mr. Lin, I will listen to you!" Chang Wei smiled and said very seriously.

He still remembered how he was driven out by the people from Lingjing Holy Land. Although he was very annoyed, he also knew that the more angry he was, the less anxious he should be.

"Young man, you have a good character!"

Lin Ran smiled. He actually wanted to give Chang Wei a heads-up. If Chang Wei got angry, he would learn martial arts in an instant and beat people up everywhere. Haha~ (accidentally entered the set)

The group reached the vicinity of the Lingjing Holy Land's camp. Lin Ran and the others hid in the dense grass. This was an excellent location. Not only could they observe carefully, but it was also difficult for the people from the Lingjing Holy Land to find them.

Lin Ran took out a telescope and observed from afar the vicinity of the entrance to the Lingjing Holy Land cave. He found that the people from the Lingjing Holy Land were coming out of the cave one by one, seemingly laughing and talking, but they were quickly stopped by someone who came out of the cave.

Lin Ran moved his view slightly to the side and saw a blonde woman, emitting a faint glow all over her body. Her face had a somewhat exotic feeling and she was wearing an expensive dress. What was surprising was that this woman was not wearing stockings and was walking barefoot in the air.

Seeing this iconic feature, Lin Ran immediately thought of Gao Tianwen, the saint of Lingjing Holy Land introduced in that miscellaneous book.

"Can't look at it too much, can't look at it too much..."

Lin Ran muttered to himself and continued to observe what the people from Lingjing Holy Land wanted to do. It was a pity that he didn't have anything like a eavesdropping device, otherwise he could have listened to what those people were saying.

The others watched as Lin Ran made a strange thing, then lay down in the bushes, holding the thing to his eyes. They didn't know what they were doing. Everyone was curious, but they didn't dare to disturb Lin Ran. Finally, a woman spoke up and quietly asked Shangguan Mengqing: "Senior sister, what is Mr. Lin doing?"
