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

Chapter 148 Deep in the Mountains

Lin Ran is not a hero. In fact, he is very afraid of death and trouble. If he were alone facing this monster, the first thing he would think of is running away.

But now they are a team, and he has the means and ability to save his life, but it does not mean that Shangguan Mengqing, Wen Qianyi, Chang Wei and others who are weaker in strength, have enough means to survive when facing the monster in front of them that displays the power of Nirvana Realm.

"You guys should leave quickly!"

Lin Ran said anxiously when he saw the monster preparing to attack again.

Shangguan Mengqing took a deep look at Lin Ran and gave an order: "Let's go!"

"Mr. Kelin..."

Chang Wei in the team or those who had been rescued by Lin Ran all hoped that Lin Ran could leave with them instead of being alone. You know, Lin Ran would have to face the violent monsters and the monster flying in the sky alone. Even if Lin Ran had three heads and six arms, he would have to run out of strength, right? Then wouldn't he have to face the scene of being eaten by monsters until not even a bone was left?

"Everyone, listen to my orders. Follow me now!" Shangguan Mengqing shouted coldly, "If you, the disciples of the Sword Sect, disobey my orders, I will punish you according to the highest punishment for violating the sect's rules and execute you on the spot!"

hiss~

Everyone couldn't help but gasp, frightened by Shangguan Mengqing's cold words.

Shangguan Mengqing was not joking. She had already taken out a steel sword that shone with a cold edge and shouted again: "Are you going or not?"

After repeated scolding, everyone was willing to leave. Lin Ran watched them gradually disappear into the forest, and couldn't help but say through his soul: "Thank you, Meng Qing!"

A cold voice soon responded from the other end: "Be a good cover for us. If you can't come back to see me alive, I will go to your son to collect the debt."

When Lin Ran was about to ask what debt he owed, he felt a gust of fierce wind coming. Looking back, Lin Ran's pupils suddenly shrank and the figure of Tai Shui Scale Dragon in his eyes suddenly magnified. He stomped on the ground and with the help of the impact force of the explosion, his body turned into a cannonball and was ejected, narrowly avoiding the swooping attack of Tai Shui Scale Dragon.

"What a damn beast!"

Lin Ran, who had landed on a big tree, looked at the figure of the Taishui Scaled Dragon returning to the sky, his face grew a little gloomy.

The opponent can fly in the sky, how can he fight? Now the no-fly ban in this secret space is still there, but it should only be for the human race that comes in. There is no restriction on monsters. It can only be said that the Holy Emperor Jingyue knows how to make a secret space.

Thick black and red fog filled the area around the Taishui Scaled Dragon, and a rotten stench gradually spread. Its scarlet eyes were filled with brutality and death. It flapped its huge wings and flew in the air, locking onto Lin Ran's position. A dark red energy ball condensed at the dragon's horns once again, and a beam of light shot towards Lin Ran's position.

"Zi La~"

A dark red beam of energy streaked across the sky, and when it hit the ground, bursts of explosions erupted shortly afterwards. Some unlucky monsters were also caught in the blast, becoming a bloody rain all over the sky.

Lin Ran's figure leaped lightly in the forest, and from time to time he looked up at the Taishui Scaled Dragon in the sky with an astonishingly oppressive aura. This was the first time he encountered such a powerful monster in this secret realm. Coupled with the blessing of the evil spirit of the void, its strength was not inferior to the peak of Nirvana Realm, and it was even slightly close to the level of Dragon Transformation Realm.

He did not intend to fight to the death with the Taishui Scaled Dragon. Even if he could chop the Taishui Scaled Dragon into pieces, he would surely be exhausted. When facing the tide of monsters, he would probably not survive.

So his idea now is to delay the time as much as possible, as long as the Taishui Scale Dragon can't hurt him.

Guan Mengqing and the others just need to delay the game long enough for them to retreat.

The forest was in chaos, with flames everywhere, broken trees, and rotting corpses. The most terrifying thing was that the monsters that had fallen down, with rotten flesh hanging on their bones, stood up staggeringly and rushed towards Lin Ran still madly.

"Damn, do these guys have radars? They all pounced on me when they saw me..."

Lin Ran roared, his hands were numb from waving, his whole body was almost bathed in the smelly and rotten blood rain, even if he bent down and smelled it, it would make people nauseous. Many creatures in the forest, both alive and dead, rushed over, and there was a Taishui Scale Dragon above, which kept attacking the route he was running.

"Boom!"

The dark red beam of light just hit in front of Lin Ran, and the strong impact force dissipated in all directions. Lin Ran was caught off guard and was knocked backwards by the powerful impact force. He finally stopped after crashing into several large trees.

"Shit, it hurts so much..."

Lin Ran took a deep breath, feeling a burning pain in his back. There seemed to be a dull pain in his chest as well. He had not done much defense just now, and he had been relying entirely on his physical strength to get through it.

He took out a few pills from the space ring and swallowed them. Feeling a refreshing medicinal power flowing through his body, Lin Ran also exhaled a breath of turbid air. Looking at the Taishui Scaled Dragon that was still staring at him, he thought to himself: "My previous thoughts were too naive. It seems that I still have to deal with this guy. Otherwise, I will be chased by this guy all the time, and with the obstruction of the monster tide, I will still be exhausted to death here."

The Tai Shui Scale Dragon was always in the sky, and with the no-fly zone buff, many of his attacks could hardly hit the Tai Shui Scale Dragon as it was so agile in the air.

"We have to find a way to make this beast give birth..."

Lin Ran's mind moved, as if he remembered something, and suddenly his body turned into a stream of light and flew away into the distance.

The Taishui Scaled Dragon in the sky, with its pair of dark red eyes, was consciously searching around. When it found the disgusting aura on Lin Ran, it could not help but let out a long howl towards the sky, and its huge wings flapped a strong wind as it chased towards Lin Ran.

At the same time, at the junction of the forest and the desert Gobi, the rock monster dragged its huge body and rushed over, smashing all the trees blocking the way. It was surrounded by thick dark red mist, and its dark red eyes were locked in a certain direction. It rushed forward fearlessly. Some unlucky and weak monsters were smashed into puddles of mud by the rock monster's pressing feet, becoming victims of the rock monster's pursuit.

……

On the other side, Shangguan Mengqing led his team to attack the tide of monsters and advance towards the depths of the mountains.

Although many people in the team were facing a tide of monsters for the first time, they were surprisingly stable under the command of Shangguan Mengqing. The team charged forward in a sharp cone. Shangguan Mengqing, who seldom cast spells at full strength since arriving in the secret realm, was also fearless. His sword energy was so powerful that he turned all the monsters blocking the way into minced meat.

They rushed forward quickly, and the number of monsters blocking the way ahead was actually decreasing. When there was no monster in front of them and the surrounding environment suddenly became strangely quiet, Shangguan Mengqing immediately felt something was wrong and shouted, "Everyone stop!"

The group of people who were originally sprinting quickly were stopped so abruptly by Shangguan Mengqing. Those who were strong managed to stop in time, but some of those who were weak and panicked did not stop at all.

Several people rushed forward, but they stepped on empty air. Unexpectedly, there was a hillside in front of them. The people who missed their step rolled down the hillside.

"Hurry up and save people!"

Shangguan Mengqing tapped her toes and immediately rushed down the hillside to rescue the team members who had rolled down the hillside.

When everyone successfully pulled the reckless few people, some sharp-eyed guys glanced at the distance below the hillside, their pupils suddenly dilated, and exclaimed: "Senior Sister, there seems to be a building at the foot of the mountain!"

"what?"

Shangguan Mengqing was stunned. When she handed the injured disciple over to others, she walked down the hillside a little bit, and a ball of spiritual light condensed in her palm and shot into the air.

When the spiritual light ball exploded and the light blue light briefly illuminated the sky and earth in front of it, everyone used the blue light to see what was happening in front of them.

Below the hillside is a vast plain, and at the end of the plain is a platinum-colored building, similar to the ancient city wall explored today.

But this place looks more glorious and magnificent, with tall platinum-colored city walls carved with exquisite and mysterious patterns. The huge city walls occupy the entire canyon mouth. There seem to be buildings behind the city walls, and there are also buildings on the rock walls above the canyon, but their purpose is unknown. There is a black gate at the entrance of the city that is tightly closed.

"Here... there is actually a place that is not attacked by the monster beasts..."

Shangguan Mengqing murmured in a low voice. She thought that Lin Ran's initial judgment was just an intuition of Lin Ran, but she didn't expect it to be true. There really was such a place deep in the mountains.

"No one is allowed to approach the city at will. Stay nearby. Those who are injured should heal their wounds quickly. Those who have run out of spiritual power should recover quickly to ensure they can deal with danger." Shangguan Mengqing ordered the team to rest on the spot.

She quickly came to Wen Qianyi's side and said, "Qianyi, I'll leave this to you. I'm going to go back and help him!"

"what!"

When everyone heard Shangguan Mengqing's voice, they stood up nervously and looked at Shangguan Mengqing.

In order to lead them into the depths of the mountains, Shangguan Mengqing also suffered a lot of injuries. Some parts of her green dress were torn, and the wounds were so hideous that deep bones could be seen. Even under the suppression of spiritual power, blood still slowly oozed out.

The Sword Sect's fairy, who had always been glamorous and aloof in the eyes of the Sword Sect's disciples, paid a huge price to fight for their lives. Now, she had lost her beauty like a mad woman.

"Mengqing, you can't go. Your condition..."

Wen Qianyi quickly grabbed Shangguan Mengqing's hand and checked it with her soul perception. She found that the spiritual power in Shangguan Mengqing's body was extremely chaotic. Her face was full of horror and she was about to say something.

Shangguan Mengqing actually shook off Wen Qianyi's hand and rushed back regardless.

"Meng Qing!"

"Sister!"

Everyone shouted in unison, but they could only watch Shangguan Mengqing disappear into the dark woods...

.......

Chapter 149 Design

"Why does Senior Sister want to go back? She has already spent a lot of effort to bring us here. Isn't it like going back to die?"

"Will there really be no problems with this, Senior Sister?"

"How about... let's go back too. The worst that can happen is we'll die. We can't let Mr. Lin and Senior Sister fall into danger just to make us retreat!"

Everyone was talking to each other, and they were basically all young people, not to mention the elites specially selected by the academy sect, so they still had some pride in their hearts.

At this time, their blood was boiling. Regardless of their injuries, they picked up their weapons and rushed back.

"Stop everyone!"

At this moment, Wen Qianyi, who had been staring at Shangguan Mengqing's back as she left, came to her senses. Seeing a group of people rushing back with weapons in hand, she could not help but shout, "What do you want to do? Are you dragging your injured bodies to drag down Mengqing and the others?"

"Don't you know your own strength? You are not even at the Spiritual Pill Realm, and it is very difficult for you to face the monster tide outside. And you... Chang Wei, look at your injuries, why don't you take medicine to heal them quickly? And Xiaoye, you..."

Wen Qianyi changed her usual gentle temperament, her eyes were sharp, and she scolded everyone who wanted to rush back to help. It was like a basin of cold water poured over their heads, extinguishing everyone's excited emotions.

When the heated emotions calmed down and rationality returned to the brain, everyone lowered their heads in guilt.

Yes, what can they do when they go back? They might be overwhelmed by the monster tide before they get back. The injury on the eldest sister's body was caused by a dark demon tiger in the spirit elixir realm in the monster tide. In order to protect them, she took a hard blow.

Otherwise, with the strength of the eldest sister, she would not be hurt by the dark demon tiger at all.

Wen Qianyi was relieved when she saw that everyone had calmed down. She was really afraid that these kids would rush back without caring about anything, and all her previous efforts would be in vain.

"We are now recovering from our injuries here, waiting for their return... Those with serious injuries can take the emergency medicine I gave them before, and then wait for me to come and help..."

Wen Qianyi directed the team in an orderly manner and began to treat the seriously injured ones one by one. Those who were only slightly injured also hurried over to lend a hand.

After everyone in the team was treated, Wen Qianyi had time to relax. She casually stretched out her sleeve to wipe the sweat from her face and smelled the fishy and rotten smell on her body.

Wen Qianyi couldn't help but feel a nausea rising in her heart, recalling every scene when facing the tide of monsters. It turned out that this was how her senior felt when facing the tide of monsters yesterday.

She stared blankly in the direction where Shangguan Mengqing left. If she had been more decisive just now, would she have been the one rushing back to help her senior?

"We said we would never be together, but our actions showed that we were together..." Wen Qianyi couldn't help but lower her head and buried it in her knees, using this time to digest the bitterness in her heart.

“They are all liars…”

……

Shangguan Mengqing returned along the same route, and while on the way, she also treated the wound on her arm.

The occasional chest cramps made Shangguan Mengqing frown slightly. He took out a few bottles and swallowed the pills like candy beans. As the cool medicinal power flowed through his chest, the sharp pain eased a little.

After a brief rest, Shangguan Mengqing continued on her way. Along the way, she tried her best to avoid fighting with powerful monsters. Even if she encountered one, she would just run away.

Returning to the outer area of ​​the mountain range, Shangguan Mengqing jumped onto a mountain peak and wanted to look out from the height. When she saw the Taishui Scaled Dragon in the northwest of her direction, attacking the ground from the sky continuously, and occasionally a golden light flashed faintly in the sky, she knew that Lin Ran was in that direction.

Just as Shangguan Mengqing was about to go over, she felt something unusual and couldn't help but look towards the northeast. A huge black shadow was rampaging in the forest, making earth-shaking noises every time it moved forward.

"That's... a rock monster?!"

Shangguan Mengqing's eyes flashed with surprise. When she saw the dark red mist lingering on the rock beast, she understood that the dead rock beast was controlled by the Void Evil Clan to be resurrected and was heading towards Lin Ran. Could it be...

Shangguan Mengqing thought of the Void Evil Clan that Lin Ran dealt with last night. Perhaps it was because Lin Ran killed that Void Evil Clan member and angered the other Void Evil Clan members, so he had to drive the Taishui Scale Dragon and the Rock Beast to create a killing situation?

"How come other monsters can..."

On the mountain, Shangguan Mengqing vaguely saw many monsters, all of which were consciously heading towards Lin Ran's direction.

Originally, these were monsters that flew around like headless flies, but now they were crowding towards the northwest like crazy, as if they were being controlled by someone.

"These monsters are also controlled to go in that direction, why doesn't he try to escape? Or maybe..." Shangguan Mengqing thought calmly. When she saw the golden light passing across the sky, she thought of the martial arts that Lin Ran was practicing. Perhaps it was because Lin Ran was practicing the Qing Emperor's martial arts, which had an aura that the Void Evil Clan hated so much, that caused Lin Ran to have nowhere to hide and could not escape at all.

If that were the case, Lin Ran might really be exhausted to death in this situation...

Shangguan Mengqing did not hesitate. She turned into a streak of light that streaked across the sky and rushed to Lin Ran's position at full speed. When she encountered the monster blocking her way, she swung the Autumn Rain Sword in her hand, and a sharp green sword energy slashed out a bloody rain. She looked in that direction with a firm and persistent look. She didn't know why she did such a reckless act of sending herself to death, but she knew that if she didn't do it, she might regret it for the rest of her life...

……

At this time, the dilapidated wall of the ancient city had long been destroyed by the Taishui Scaled Dragon, leaving only a ruin. A raging fire was burning on the vast grassland. In this open land, Lin Ran casually chopped to death a monster that pounced on him, stared at the Taishui Scaled Dragon in the sky, and spat a mouthful of sticky saliva mixed with a little blood to the side.

"This damn beast, why doesn't it rush down? Has the influence of the female evil god Feng Lian on this secret realm been so great?" Lin Ran cursed in a low voice.

When he looked up and saw that the Taishui Scaled Dragon was about to bombard from high and low again, his body turned into a trail of afterimages and avoided the shooting of the dark red beam.

"No, we must try again!"

Lin Ran dodged the attack in a panic, looked at the Tai Shui Scale Dragon in the sky that was once again accumulating power, and decided to try the method he had thought of before.

Lin Ran strode towards the ancient city wall, his feet bouncing on the rock wall like a light swallow. When he reached the highest point, Lin Ran suddenly bent his legs and pressed his body downward.

The next moment, Lin Ran's figure was like a cannonball compressed to the extreme, and he shot out. Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the Taishui Scaled Dragon in the sky, this time Lin Ran tightly grasped the Autumn Rain Sword in his hand, and once again circulated the spiritual power in his body, drawing the energy of the earth between heaven and earth, and the Autumn Rain Sword in his right hand lit up with a dazzling golden light.

Lin Ran roared: "Under the moon and flowers!"

The Qiuyu Sword in his hand was waving at a speed that was invisible to the naked eye. Hundreds of crescent-shaped sword qi formed a dense sword formation and swept towards the Taishui Scale Dragon. The sharp golden sword qi, with an unstoppable intention to cut through everything, easily cut through the scales on the Taishui Scale Dragon's body. The sword qi cut fiercely into the body, and dark red blood spurted out.

The eroded Taishui Scaled Dragon wanted to escape, but this time the sword formation trapped it inside, and it could only allow the criss-crossed sword energy to cut one wound after another on its body. When the golden spiritual power collided with the dark red mist, a sizzling sound was made. The golden spiritual power fought against the thick dark red mist on the Taishui Scaled Dragon's body, and the dark red light in the Taishui Scaled Dragon's eyes seemed to gradually dim.

The huge dark red wings behind him also turned into dark red light spots and dissipated. When the huge body of the Taishui Scale Dragon fell to the ground in the form of pieces, a dark red blood rain bloomed all over the sky. Lin Ran also fell from the air and hit the Taishui Scale Dragon's flesh hard.

"Finally I got rid of this beast..."

Lin Ran was gasping for breath. He felt that he must have broken a lot of bones in his back. He slid down from the huge piece of flesh of the Taishui Scaled Dragon with difficulty, which aroused the injuries in his body. Lin Ran couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. He wiped the sticky black blood on his face. Lin Ran ignored the monsters rushing towards him, thinking about running into the canyon quickly to see if the bronze cube in his hand could open the space barrier. If he could enter that palace, perhaps he could temporarily breathe a sigh of relief.
