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

Some disciples who were slightly weaker in strength fainted due to exhaustion of their spiritual energy and fell to the ground with a plop.

Lin Ran couldn't bear to watch this, so he turned around and looked at Chang Wei and the others who were whispering against the rock wall, and said, "You guys go help them!"

"Yes!"

Chang Wei and others responded. They were originally hesitant, but when they saw the fallen disciples, they rushed to help the fallen disciples of Xuanfu Sect.

Lin Ran was curious about how these guys changed their attitudes so quickly. He looked carefully and found that there were some pretty female disciples among the fallen disciples. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and thought to himself, "You little perverts, you pounce on meat like hungry wolves."

But if it were Lin Ran himself, he would probably be the first to run over and save the beauty when he saw his sister in his arms. Who wouldn't love a sister looking at you with pitiful eyes and saying, "Did you save me? Thank you~"

Shangguan Mengqing inadvertently glanced at Lin Ran's sight, then looked at the beautiful female disciples of Xuanfu Sect. Seeing that no one was paying attention, she couldn't help but bumped Lin Ran's arm and said, "I like it very much. Why don't you go over and help?"

"what?"

Lin Ran was hit by Shangguan Mengqing and was unable to react for a moment.

Wen Qianyi, who was still recovering her spiritual power, heard Shangguan Mengqing's words, looked at the female disciples of Xuanfu Sect, then looked at Lin Ran, puffed up her cheeks in anger, looked at Lin Ran with resentment, and said in a long tone:

"senior!"

Lin Ran: "..."

How come he suddenly became so wrong? He looked at the culprit Shangguan Mengqing, but this guy looked as if it had nothing to do with him and walked away with his hands folded in front of his chest.

Lin Ran looked at Wen Qianyi who was a little sulky. He had been busy recently and had neglected to pay attention to Qianyi. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Ran took Wen Qianyi and the other person to the back, where there happened to be a few trees where they could lean against and have a rest.

Holding Wen Qianyi's fair and soft little hand, Lin Ran moved closer to Wen Qianyi and said softly, "Are you tired?"

Wen Qianyi's ears were red. She looked up at Lin Ran who was so close to her, then quickly lowered her head and whispered, "No, although I pulled the power of the Yin-Yang chessboard to a very high level at the beginning, I found that it had no effect against the spatial barrier, so I didn't cast the spell with all my strength..."

Lin Ran kneaded Wen Qianyi's soft little hands, listened to what Wen Qianyi said, and couldn't help asking: "Then Qianyi, do you think that spatial barrier can be broken if we call on all the people in the secret realm who are proficient in formations and prohibitions?"

"Everyone in the entire secret realm?"

Wen Qianyi thought seriously for a while before whispering, "It shouldn't be possible... I feel that this spatial barrier gives me a feeling that is very similar to the strength of the seal at the entrance to the secret realm. Perhaps we need to recreate a lineup of that level to be able to..."

Wen Qianyi and Shangguan Mengqing had surprisingly consistent ideas, that is, this spatial barrier, as far as the current situation allows, is an unsolvable problem for everyone in this secret realm.

Lin Ran also understood what Wen Qianyi meant, but in the original novel, there was indeed a mythical spiritual weapon inside, and it was later obtained by Lin Chong. What does that mean? It means that there is a way to crack it. What is that method?

Lin Ran fell into deep thought for a moment. He felt that he had grasped a very crucial point, but what was it?

Seeing Lin Ran frowning and thinking, Wen Qianyi did not disturb him by saying anything. Instead, she turned her face slightly to the side and looked at Lin Ran quietly.

It felt like she had returned to the time when she was in the academy. Lin Ran was sitting at his desk handling academy matters, while she was in Lin Ran's office, watching him. Occasionally, her eyes would quietly shift from the ancient books to Lin Ran. That quiet and serious senior was really very attractive to her, and she would never get tired of looking at him for the rest of her life!

"My hand is still held by my senior..."

Wen Qianyi looked down at the little hand that Lin Ran was holding in her palm. She was a little scared because her palm was sweating due to nervousness, so she moved carefully...

Although the two chose a place where there were no people and it was difficult to be seen, they were still seen by Shangguan Mengqing who deliberately walked to the diagonal opposite corner.

When she saw Wen Qianyi's pair of affectionate eyes tightly wrapped around Lin Ran, she actually felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She didn't like this feeling...

"He is not my person, why should I care about him? We are from two different worlds, we can never...never be together..."

Shangguan Mengqing said this in her heart, but she also knew that if it was really as she said, perhaps her mood would not be the same as it is now.

Chen Zixuan finally gave up on attacking the space barrier. He sat there for a long time like a defeated rooster, staring blankly at the space barrier.

After a while, Chen Zixuan came to Shangguan Mengqing dejectedly and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Shangguan, it seems that this space barrier is indeed indestructible with our abilities. Perhaps this is not the method to open it at all?"

Chen Zixuan was really devastated. The opportunity to obtain the legendary mythical weapon was right in front of him, but he could only sigh in despair at the invisible thick barrier...

"Well, as long as we try our best!"

Shangguan Mengqing nodded and said, "It's getting late now, and it's not far to go down the mountain. You should quickly find a safe place to camp!"

After hearing Shangguan Mengqing's words, Chen Zixuan looked up and noticed the sky. Seeing the particularly bright colors of dusk in the sky, he felt something was wrong and suddenly said, "Miss Shangguan, did you also randomly find a cave near your camp to set up the formation and then rest inside?"

"Is there any problem with this?" Shangguan Mengqing asked.

Chen Zixuan stared at the sky, shook his head slowly, and said: "Under normal circumstances, there might be no problem, but today..."

Chen Zixuan obviously knew something, but after a pause, he said, "Anyway, be extremely careful. We're leaving first, everyone!"

The disciples of Xuanfu Sect, including the female disciples who fainted and were rescued by Chang Wei and others, thanked Chang Wei and others, and hurriedly followed the team and left. The Xuanfu Sect left in a hurry, and coupled with Chen Zixuan's hesitant behavior just now, Shangguan Mengqing felt that something was wrong.

Although Lin Ran felt that Chen Zixuan was a bit strange, he paid more attention to the invisible space barrier in front of him. He wondered if the bronze cube that he had never taken out since arriving in the secret realm was the key to open this invisible space barrier.

"Perhaps in the original book, Xiao Chong relied on that block to open the space barrier..." Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart.

He really wanted to try it now, but there were so many people around that Lin Ran didn't dare to try it easily, but maybe he could try it tonight...

In the end, Shangguan Mengqing didn't figure out the reason. When he saw the sky gradually darkening, he hurriedly led the entire team back to the camp, and set up many attack formations or prohibitions around them, and set up a stronger protective formation at the entrance of the cave. Only then did he feel relieved.

Night fell upon the land once again, but what was different this time was that the bright red full moon in the sky was gradually swallowed by the black color and turned into a crescent moon. This desolate land became even darker.

In the desert Gobi where Lin Ran and his companions had been before, some of the ground was actually cracked, and dark red fog gushed out from it. It was so thick that it seemed substantial. The dark red fog gushed out from the surface and dispersed in all directions.

The huge body of the rock monster that was once killed by Lin Ran was still lying quietly in the desert. A lot of black and red mist was pouring out from the surface nearby, and the mist kept pouring into the dead rock monster.

Under the treatment of the black and red mist, the huge grooves on the body of the rock beast were completely repaired by the black and red mist. The pair of tightly closed eyes on the head suddenly opened, and a dark red light lit up.

The giant rock beast, which was already dead, stood up again in the desert with its huge body, and its deafening roar resounded through the sky. However, this time, thick black and red fog lingered on the beast's body, and it was moving towards the mountains.

Such a scene not only happened in the desert, but also under the water of the lake in the basin. The Taishui Scaled Dragon that was originally killed by the Lingjing Holy Land, its huge water snake-like body was lying at the bottom of the lake, but a large amount of black and red mist suddenly surged out of the mud at the bottom of the lake, and the mist rushed out and tightly wrapped the Taishui Scaled Dragon.

Not long after, the Taishui Scaled Dragon's eyes turned dark red, and it actually rushed out of the lake, making shrill screams and hisses in the sky in the center of the lake. The black and red mist lingering around its body made the Taishui Scaled Dragon's body transform into a pair of huge dark red wings. The pair of coral-like dragon horns were surrounded by dark red mist, and a dark red energy ball condensed in the center of the dragon horns, turning into a dark red beam of light that swept towards the lush forest.

As a dark red light swept across, a series of explosions resounded through the sky the next moment, the flames ignited the forest and also completely ignited the night...

……

Chapter 147 Escape

"It's really lively outside tonight!"

Lin Ran leaned against the rock wall and took a sip of tea. He listened to the noise outside and couldn't help but sigh.

Unfortunately, no one responded to Lin Ran's sigh. Sitting at the entrance of the cave, he turned around and looked around in surprise.

Only then did he remember that Shangguan Mengqing had specially opened up a small cave and practiced in it, so no one was seen. Wen Qianyi also went into the cave to refine medicine. The other people in the team were sitting in the cave in groups of three or four, chatting in low voices, while some were resting with their eyes closed.

Lin Ran turned around and looked down at the teacup in his hand. The tea in the cup was calm and still. He shook his head and was about to raise his head to take a sip.

Suddenly, there was a series of "boom" explosions outside. Lin Ran was so scared by the noise that he subconsciously loosened his right hand. The warm tea poured onto his clothes. The ceramic teacup hit the hard ground, making a crisp "click" sound and broke into several pieces.

Lin Ran ignored the water on his chest and hurried out of the cave. The forest was darker than usual tonight. He looked up subconsciously and saw that the moon was a bright red full moon with the other half swallowed by darkness.

But this was not the most terrifying thing. Lin Ran looked in the direction of the lake and saw a dragon-like creature in the sky with black and red mist all over its body and huge dark red wings on its back. It was making a shrill scream, and dark red energy beams condensed from the dragon's horns again, ravaging the land.

"what is this!"

Lin Ran couldn't recognize what kind of monster it was, and then turned his gaze to the vicinity of the garrison. He saw that the formations set up near the garrison were all activated, and monsters of various shapes kept attacking the defense line they had set up. A hole had already been torn, and more than a dozen monsters let out low roars and rushed towards Lin Ran.

"court death!"

Lin Ran let out a low shout and was about to take out the Qiuyu Sword when he keenly noticed that something was wrong with the aura of these monsters. The yin energy of these monsters was very strong, and there was dark red mist lingering around their bodies. They gave off a smell like a rotting corpse, without any life fluctuations, and felt lifeless all over.

He couldn't help but think of the final big boss in the Secret Realm of the Holy Emperor Jingyue, the female evil god Feng Lian. She did have the means to use the dark red mist to control the corpses.

According to the original novel, these corroded monsters have no souls, do not feel pain, do not know life or death, and possess even more terrifying power than when they were alive. Unless you completely destroy them, the remaining half of their bodies will run towards you.

"Could it be that the chain reaction was caused when I killed Jemodo?" Lin Ran was secretly shocked. If this was true, the survival pressure of the entire secret realm at night would increase dramatically.

But those attacking monsters did not give Lin Ran any time to think. He quickly took out the Qiuyu Sword and slashed out dozens of sword energies in an instant. With the help of the powerful spiritual power of heaven and earth, the sharp sword energy smashed the monsters that rushed in from the gap into pieces of meat, and a rotten smell also spread.

“This is really stinky!”

Lin Ran couldn't help but cover his nose with his sleeve. Looking at the pieces of meat still wriggling on the ground, he felt that this was truly top-level mental pollution. He casually released a sword energy barrier to block the gap, and then Lin Ran returned to the cave.

At this time in the cave, those who had been gathering in groups of three or four to chat and eat stood up, looking at Lin Ran, waiting for Lin Ran's instructions. Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi also came out of their respective small rooms.

Shangguan Mengqing came to Lin Ran and asked, "What happened outside?"

Lin Ran explained the situation outside in a serious manner and then offered his opinion: "I think we may have to evacuate here. This time we are not facing an ordinary monster tide.

It is a wave of monsters controlled by the Void Evil Clan. From the fact that these monsters keep attacking our station, we can see that the controlled monsters should be more sensitive in searching for humans. If we stick to this place, we will only end up dead. "

"Then where to retreat to?" someone asked.

"Where to retreat to..."

Lin Ran couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He actually already had an idea in his mind, but he wasn't quite sure where the place was. But it was a city-state.

In the original novel, when the exploration of the secret realm entered the middle and late stages, such an extreme tide of monsters appeared. Someone discovered an ancient city-state, which was able to block the vast tide of monsters.

Later, everyone retreated into the city-state. However, no matter how strong and ancient the city-state was, it was still in danger when facing the continuous attacks of the monster tide. The manpower in the secret realm was also reduced in these rounds of consumption. Finally, the outer city was lost and they were forced to retreat to the inner city.

Afterwards, he seemed to have escaped to another place for some unknown reason. He forgot the specific reason, but as far as he could see, that place should be considered safe for the time being.

"That city should be in one of these continuous mountain ranges, right?" Lin Ran thought secretly.

He was trying hard to recall, and if he remembered correctly, the location of the city seemed to be in a canyon in the mountains. The other side of the city seemed to be the place where the inheritance of Saint Emperor Jingyue was opened.

However, time did not allow Lin Ran to think too much. Another series of explosions sounded, and the formation they had set up outside was broken by the endless stream of monsters, which rushed straight towards the cave. A light blue light of the formation instantly lit up in front of the cave. A powerful force crushed all the monsters that rushed over with sword energy and blocked them outside.

The piercing roars continued. Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Lin Ran who was still thinking and said in a cold voice: "While the formation has not been broken yet, everyone quickly prepare for battle and follow us to break out and find a safe place!"

"Yes!"

Chang Wei and others also took out various weapons and equipment as well as emergency elixirs. Each of them was like a soldier about to go to the battlefield, checking the equipment and weapons they were carrying.

Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran and asked calmly, "You should have some ideas, right?"

Lin Ran shook his head and said helplessly: "Let's take it one step at a time. If it really doesn't work..."

Lin Ran has already thought about it. If the team really cannot go deep into the mountains, he might try the ancient city wall to see if he can use the bronze cube to open the space barrier there. Although he doesn't know what dangers there are, with this key plot token, he may be able to avoid danger.

Shangguan Mengqing didn't ask any more questions. She knew Lin Ran must have his own ideas. She wouldn't ask any more questions. Everyone has their own secrets, and she is also...

The power of the formation guarding the entrance of the cave had become very weak, and the original bright green color had become very dim, indicating that the formation was about to break. At this time in the cave, Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing stood in front, followed by Wen Qianyi, Chang Wei and other people from the Tianli Academy of the Sword Sect.

Lin Ran turned his head and glanced at everyone, and couldn't help but say, "Follow my pace. If anyone falls behind, the others must catch him quickly and don't let him lead the team. Do you understand?"

"Yes!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Lin Ran nodded, and his right hand condensed with surging golden spiritual power. A dragon head faintly appeared on his fist. He couldn't help but look at Shangguan Mengqing next to him, and asked with his soul transmission: "Are you scared?"

"I should be the one asking you this. I'm afraid you'll pee your pants out of fear!" Shangguan Mengqing retorted.

"I hope so too!" Lin Ran smiled.

The formation in front of him shattered with a crisp sound, and the monster in front of the cave entrance rushed in with a ferocious face and bared fangs and claws.

The next moment, a dazzling golden light appeared in the pitch-black night, becoming a beam of light that pierced through the darkness. The loud dragon roar covered up the roars of all the monsters at that moment. The ferocious dragon head opened its fangs and bit the monsters. When the golden spiritual power came into contact with the dark red mist, it was instantly dispersed and turned into dark red spots of light.

This dazzling light immediately attracted the Taishui Scaled Dragon in the air. Its dark red eyes seemed to reveal consciousness and locked onto that direction. A dark red energy ball condensed at the dragon's horns again. In a moment, a dark red ray of light streaked across the sky like a meteor.

As Lin Ran led the team and rushed out, he suddenly felt a sense of danger in his heart. He looked up to the sky and saw that the flying monster was attacking him.

"Moonlight Waterfall!"

Lin Ran let out a low shout, and swept the Qiuyu Sword in his left hand violently. The golden veil fluttered in the sky, and the dark red energy beam hit the defense cast by Lin Ran. The dark red energy beam and the golden sword energy were intertwined together, and the energy of the two was compressed, causing the space to distort.

The next moment, the two balls of energy that were stirring together exploded.

"Boom!"

A loud noise suddenly rang out, dust flew everywhere, and the thick trees were torn in half by the powerful impact force. Lin Ran and others were also knocked to the ground by the impact force.

Lin Ran got up from the ground, shook off the dirt on his body, and quickly pulled up the disciples who had fallen around him, urging them, "Hurry up and get up! You can't faint here!"

Everyone in the team was soon gathered together, even Shangguan Mengqing, Wen Qianyi and others became dusty and dusty. It was obvious that they had suffered a little loss in the explosion just now.

"Let's hurry..."

When Lin Ran was urging the team to leave, he discovered that the monster was actually flying towards them.

"Damn it, they're really keeping an eye on this place..."

Lin Ran couldn't help but curse, and said to Shangguan Mengqing and Wen Qianyi, "You take the team and flee from here as soon as possible. Remember, try to escape to the depths of the mountains. There are dangers in there, but the most dangerous place is also the safest. It is better to face the mysterious forbidden formation than to face these monsters that have been controlled by the Void Evil Clan."

"Senior, do you want to..."

Wen Qianyi thought of something and covered her mouth in surprise.

Shangguan Mengqing also looked at Lin Ran quietly, while Lin Ran looked at everyone in the team, rubbed his nose, and said with a smile: "This monster is already staring at us. I must go to fight it, and it can also buy time for you to escape. Hurry up and run!"
