My father is the main character, but the female leads want to kill me.

"Golden-eyed White-spreading Ape!"

The same word echoed in Lin Ran's ears and mind at the same time. He was stunned. He didn't expect that Mu Shishuang and Shangguan Mengqing already knew what kind of creature it was, even though he had only just seen the appearance of the monster.

"Lin Ran, you're in trouble!"

Mu Shishuang continued, "These are ancient demonic beasts. Their ability to survive to this day is due to the ancient bloodline that remains in their bloodline. Once they are angered and their bloodline is activated, they can even unleash strength that surpasses their own!"

Let's see how things go first!

After saying that, Lin Ran turned around and reminded those behind her, "Don't make any rash moves, lest you anger those demonic beasts!"

On the Sword Sect's side, when they heard Lin Ran's words, they were about to ask Shangguan Mengqing, but Shangguan Mengqing preemptively said, "Let's listen to Vice Dean Lin!"

Huang Shishi, who was following behind Shangguan Mengqing, felt a little annoyed, but he didn't say much. He couldn't possibly lie and say that the instruction was wrong, could he?

However, seeing the ambiguous relationship between Shangguan Mengqing and the vice dean of Linghua Academy made him very concerned. Even though he knew there was nothing between them, he couldn't help but wonder what if there really was something?

The team remained silent, leaning against the mountain wall, their eyes fixed on the golden-eyed white apes that darted and moved through the forest on the opposite bank. Fortunately, the apes did not seem to be targeting them. Amidst their roars, the monkeys gradually disappeared into the other direction.

This relieved Lin Ran. Just as he was about to say that he should continue forward, the ground beneath his feet began to shake, and some loose stones started rolling down from the mountaintop.

"what happened?"

Lin Ran looked around, but still couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from.

"Lin Ran, get out of there quickly!"

Shangguan Mengqing's cold shout suddenly exploded in Lin Ran's mind. He subconsciously pulled Mulan in front of him and his apprentice behind him and jumped into the river below.

Just as they left the cliff face, a deafening explosion suddenly rang out. The cliff face where Lin Ran and the others had just been standing suddenly exploded, sending debris flying. A huge, dark, hairy fist, resembling that of a giant, emerged from the rock face.

"What the hell is this?!"

Lin Ran felt that she must have forgotten to check the almanac before going out today, otherwise how could she have been so unlucky?

He transformed into a golden light and transported Mulan to the forest on the other side. Then he and Yuemei went to rescue people. Just now, some students had fallen into the river below without warning.

The group suddenly became somewhat chaotic, with many people falling into the river and shouting for help.

Shangguan Mengqing's side was relatively safe. Their team was at the back of the group, and their average strength was also high, so there was no scene of them falling into the river due to panic.

Shangguan Mengqing stared intently at the outstretched fist. After it suddenly extended, it seemed to be stuck there and never retracted, giving the impression of being a mechanism.

Is there something in here?

Shangguan Mengqing quickly realized that something might be hidden behind the cliff. She looked at Huang Shishi and Elder Heng behind her and said, "Let's go to the other side too!"

She didn't rush to act; she wanted to take another look, thinking that perhaps she could see more clearly from the other side.

In the forest on the opposite bank, Lin Ran asked Fu Yuemei to look after the injured students. He stood on the edge of the cliff, looking at the very abrupt fist, and frowned, trying to figure out what it was. He even pulled Fan Hua over to take a look, but unfortunately, even Fan Hua didn't know what it was.

However, Fan Hua suggested, "With Meng Qing around, you don't need to use your brain. Just leave the things that require thinking to her. She probably knows more than I do!"

Lin Ran: "..."

That makes it sound like he has no brains. Is it really that insulting? Disgusting!

"Mr. Lin, I have to thank you for saving me just now, otherwise that punch might have turned me into mincemeat in an instant!" Mulan, who was slumped on the ground leaning against a big tree not far away, said with some lingering fear.

Only Mulan herself knew how terrifying that scene had been. The dark shadow of the fist was probably only a fist's distance away from her. At that moment, she was so scared that she lost control of her bladder. But she never expected to be saved by Mr. Lin. If she could return to her teenage years, she would definitely repay Mr. Lin with her body.

Lin Ran smiled and said, "You're our guide!"

He wasn't so heartless as to watch an innocent life slip away before his eyes. If it were someone like the Qin family, the outcome would probably be quite different!

Lin Ran stared at the enormous fist for a while, but found nothing. Just as he was about to check on the students in his team, Shangguan Mengqing walked towards him.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced at Mu Shishuang behind Lin Ran. When Mu Shishuang saw her looking over, she didn't back down either. A deep blue light flashed in her eyes. Her insignificant mental attack was nothing more than a tickle to Shangguan Mengqing.

Ignoring Mu Shishuang's gaze, Shangguan Mengqing pointed to the enormous fist and said, "Investigate it; there might be something inside!"

"Oh, aren't we continuing on our way?"

Lin Ran was not very willing to take risks. In his opinion, it was better to stay far away from such strange things to avoid any unforeseen complications.

Shangguan Mengqing glanced coldly at Lin Ran, and the next moment, she transformed into a deep blue light without uttering a sound and headed towards the fist.

This scene left Lin Ran speechless. He quickly untied Mu Shishuang and threw her over to Fu Yuemei, shouting, "Yuemei, take care of Shishuang!"

"what?"

Before Fu Yuemei could react, Mu Shishuang was shoved into her arms. She glanced down at the expressionless Mu Shishuang, then quickly looked away.

Sister Mu's eyes are filled with a chilling murderous intent right now!

……

139. The Giant in the Mountain Wall

"Junior sister, it's dangerous over there!"

Huang Shishi shouted at the top of his lungs when he didn't expect Shangguan Mengqing to rashly make contact with that huge black fist.

Lin Ran, who was flying in mid-air, also turned around and looked at Huang Shishi, asking telepathically, "Meng Qing, your senior brother is very concerned about you. Doesn't he know that you have the strength of the Dragon Transformation Realm?"

Lin Ran couldn't believe that her senior brother, who was at the peak of the Nirvana Realm, had been caring about her junior sister, who was at the Dragon Transformation Realm. Anyone with eyes could see it!

After giving Huang Shishi a hand gesture, Shangguan Mengqing answered Lin Ran's question: "Senior brother doesn't know my strength. I haven't shown my strength since I returned to the Sword Sect."

"Oh!"

Lin Ran casually responded, focusing his attention on the furry black giant fist, wondering what might be inside the mountain wall, and whether a giant might be hiding inside it.

Hearing Lin Ran's response, a hint of panic flashed in Shangguan Mengqing's eyes. After a moment of silence, she suddenly said, "I've always considered him my senior brother, and I always will..."

"Um?!"

Lin Ran turned to look at Shangguan Mengqing, and before she could react, she saw that Shangguan Mengqing had already gone to the mountain wall near the giant fist to investigate.

Lin Ran, who had been standing still, carefully pondering the meaning of the words, connected the dots and a bright smile appeared on his face. He followed Shangguan Mengqing and said with a smile, "I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you, Fairy Shangguan? I would do anything for you!"

"Then let's go for a stroll over the sea of ​​fire?" Shangguan Mengqing said without turning her head.

Lin Ran: "..."

This fairy really doesn't know how to talk. If he goes into the sea of ​​fire like this, the sea of ​​fire will become his crematorium.

Shangguan Mengqing focused intently on examining the surrounding mountain walls. She would release her soul power to try to explore the inside of the walls, and when she encountered any problems, she would subconsciously furrow her brows. Then she would take out the Autumn Rain Sword and mark several places.

On the opposite bank of the forest, a group of people watched Lin Ran and Shangguan Mengqing fiddling with something in front of the cliff. Xiao Qian, from the Linghua Academy group, leaned close to her best friend Fu Yuemei and whispered, "What exactly are Mr. Lin and that powerful woman from the Sword Sect doing?"

Fu Yuemei shook her head vigorously, clearly finding this very puzzling. Mu Shishuang, who was resting next to Fu Yuemei, stared intently at the mountain wall and whispered, "They think there might be something behind that mountain wall and are thinking of breaking through it!"

"Break through?"

The students of Linghua Academy were somewhat surprised, and they began to wonder what might be inside.

After roughly surveying the mountain walls surrounding the giant fist, Shangguan Mengqing slowly retreated. She pointed to the mountain walls and transmitted her voice, "You hit the three points I marked on the left. I'll handle the rest. Be careful to control your strength and don't flatten this mountain!"

"Don't worry, I'll be fine!" Lin Ran said confidently, patting her chest.

After assigning tasks, the two went to their respective areas. Lin Ran did not use the Autumn Rain Sword. If he took out the Autumn Rain Sword at this time, wouldn't he attract the attention of the Mengqing Sect?

Lin Ran wasn't naive, so he decided to use his signature Dragon Fist to smash the stone wall in front of him.

Both of them were gathering their strength. Shangguan Mengqing's dress was fluttering without wind, and deep blue spiritual energy surrounded her, even dyeing the Autumn Rain Sword a deep blue.

"boom!"

Without exchanging any words, the two, relying on their tacit understanding, simultaneously launched an attack on the mountain wall in front of them. The golden dragon and the sharp, light blue sword energy pointed straight at the mountain wall, and an explosion soared into the sky.

The powerful impact sent rubble and dust flying outwards, and even some boulders the size of millstones rolled down from the mountaintop, crashing one after another into the river below, splashing water everywhere.

On the opposite bank in the forest, some of the people erected spiritual energy shields to protect themselves from the sharp rocks, while Fu Yuemei also erected a shield to protect the group from Linghua Academy.

Soon after the dust and rolling stones gradually subsided, everyone's eyes were fixed on the mountain wall, and they were all very curious about what was inside.

"What is that!"

Suddenly, a girl let out a high-pitched scream.

This incredibly penetrating high-pitched sound was even more powerful than the monkey's earlier shout. There was no time to investigate who had made it; people even went so far as to crowd around the edge of the cliff to get a glimpse of what was inside the rock face.

But when the drifting smoke and dust completely dissipated, revealing the interior of the shattered mountain wall, everyone present couldn't help but show a strange expression.

There was indeed something hidden inside the mountain wall—a giant was hidden there, almost embedded in the mountain wall. But what made the girl scream was something attached to the giant.

The giant's body was covered with dense, dark red mud that resembled fibrous roots. In some places, there were even disc-sized eyeballs with deep yellow vertical pupils. When someone looked over, they would even deform and bend strangely, as if mocking them.

Only the area above the giant's abdomen, including his protruding right arm, was unaffected by the dark red mud; the rest of the body was severely affected.

Lin Ran looked at the giant with its eyes tightly closed. On its uninfected upper body, one could see some dark red patterns. Its head also resembled that of a human. A heavy aura emanated from the giant.

For some reason, when Lin Ran saw the giant, his blood seemed to boil, as if he was cheering and jumping for joy.

"How is this going?"

Lin Ran was secretly alarmed.

He subconsciously touched his right heart, and he vaguely felt that there seemed to be some kind of connection between the two.

Shangguan Mengqing stared at the giant not far ahead, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said with displeasure, "Another Void Evil Clan..."

She snorted coldly, and a deep blue flame immediately rose in her left hand. She infused the flame into the Autumn Rain Sword in her right hand. If one had excellent eyesight, one could even catch the black and white runes dancing in the flame. A mysterious and unpredictable aura emanated from the Autumn Rain Sword.

"Junior sister's move is..."

Huang Shishi, who had been watching Shangguan Mengqing closely, felt a sudden pang of unease upon seeing her movements. This was something he had never experienced before, even when he and his junior sister were competing in the Sword Sect.

"Could it be that my junior sister intentionally went easy on me back then? Has the gap between us become that big?" Huang Shishi began to doubt himself.

Just then, the giant embedded in the mountain wall opened its eyes, which were as big as lanterns and were purple-gold. When the giant opened its eyes, an ancient and heavy aura pressed down like a mountain.

"Fuck!"

Lin Ran's expression turned to horror. He felt as if a dozen mountains were suddenly pressing down on him. Even the pressure he felt when facing Jin Qiusheng hadn't exerted such pressure on him. But today, this strange giant had slammed him into the river with a single wave of pressure.

"Lin Ran!"

Shangguan Mengqing exclaimed in surprise. Her figure transformed into a deep blue stream of light, grabbing Lin Ran's hand just as she was about to fall into the river. She then channeled her spiritual power into Lin Ran's body, helping her resist the giant's oppressive aura.

Shangguan Mengqing looked at Lin Ran with concern and asked, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine!"
