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

Soon, Xiaoying, who was leading the way, turned into a house.

Lin Ran lifted the white cloth in front of the door and as soon as he walked in, he smelled a pungent smell of medicine mixed with some fishy smell.

"Please put this on, sir!"

Mueller handed over a white mask-like object. After Lin Ran put it on, he felt much better.

Xiaoying had already put on a mask and lifted the white cloth in the inner room. Muller followed her in, followed by Lin Ran.

When Lin Ran came in, he saw several beds in the room, with people lying on them. The fishy and medicinal smells came from these people.

He walked forward and saw the person lying there. There were many dark red lines on his face, and the person had lost his arm. He also smelled the scent of demonic energy.

He went to check on several other people. Without exception, they all had either broken hands or broken feet, and were severely corroded by the demonic energy. They exuded a fishy smell all over their bodies, and even their wounds began to deteriorate.

"How come everyone has been eroded by the evil spirit?" Lin Ran looked at Muller curiously and asked.

"Mr. Lin, do you know what this is?" Mueller asked eagerly.

Xiaoying, who was standing by, also stared at Lin Ran, wanting to hear hope from him.

"This is a bit troublesome to explain. How about this? I'll see if I can save them first, okay?" Lin Ran said.

"Okay, okay, Xiaoying, please help Mr. Lin. If Mr. Lin needs anything, just let me know. I, Muller, will risk my life to get it back for you!" Muller held Lin Ran's hand and said very seriously.

Lin Ran said: "It doesn't have to be so serious, let me see if I can help!"

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore, Mr. Lin!"

Mueller knew that his staying here would be a hindrance, so he told Xiaoying to stay and help Lin Ran, and then he left.

Xiaoying looked at Lin Ran with her sparkling eyes and said awkwardly, "Mr. Lin, how can I help you?"

"Who is the most seriously ill?" Lin Ran asked.

After hearing this, Xiaoying immediately pointed to the guy in the corner and said, "That guy is the worst. He was closest to the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower at the beginning, and then the others tried their best to pull him back, and then something went wrong too."

Although Lin Ran didn't know why the Ghostly Face Flower had evil spirits, his most urgent task was to save people. He hurried to the bed in the corner and looked at the young man. His entire face was covered with black and red lines, and his skin color was also beginning to turn darker. He also had a strong fishy smell on his body.

He covered his hands with spiritual power, then held the young man's left hand, and the golden spiritual power rushed into the young man's body. When he saw the meridians that were already dark red and black, Lin Ran's face changed, and he secretly said in his heart: "This invasion of demonic energy is really serious!"

Lin Ran began to try whether his spiritual power could dispel the evil spirit. He mobilized his spiritual power carefully, fearing that he might accidentally kill the young man.

When his spiritual power touched the dark meridians, it seemed to make a "sizzling" sound, and the young man couldn't help but began to tremble, and a hoarse wail came from his throat.

"Mr. Lin!"

Xiaoying couldn't help but shout out.

Lin Ran closed his eyes and ordered, "I'm trying to dispel the evil spirit in his body, tell him not to move!"

"Yes!"

Xiaoying stretched out her hand and used her spiritual power to hold down the young man, preventing him from moving.

After Lin Ran discovered that he could dispel the evil spirit, he increased his strength. His spiritual power was like an eraser, slowly wiping away the dirt in the young man's body.

As the cleaning efforts intensified, the young man's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the dark red lines that had crawled all over his body like spider webs slowly dissipated, and the fishy smell on his body also faded.

This change seemed like a miracle to Xiaoying. She did not dare to disturb Lin Ran. After Lin Ran was completely cleaned up, Xiaoying hugged Lin Ran excitedly and shouted, "Mr. Lin, you succeeded, you actually succeeded!"

……

54. Entering the Ghost Forest

"Mr. Lin, you are really a miracle doctor. With just one touch of your hand, those reckless guys are healed!"

Cato's rough voice rang out in the yard, and he stuffed the fragrant kebabs of grilled meat in Lin Ran's hands. On the other side, a gentle woman handed warm wine to Lin Ran.

Lin Ran had just sat down when he saw food in front of him. He said helplessly, "Everyone, I know you guys are grateful, but you're stuffing so much at once, won't you eat it?"

"Hey, we've already eaten our fill, we're just sitting here chatting!"

Cato responded, showing off his round belly, which made everyone laugh.

Lin Ran didn't hold back. He ate the barbecue in big mouthfuls, feeling the fat mixed with seasonings bursting in his mouth and the feeling of bouncing on the tip of his tongue. It was truly wonderful.

"Why don't you leave a few strings for our good helpers Xiaoying?" Muller's hearty voice rang out.

Muller and Xiaoying came out and came to the yard. Muller took Xiaoying to sit next to Lin Ran. He saw the big pot of barbecue in front of Lin Ran and said exaggeratedly: "Do you want to make Mr. Lin die of his hunger? Let me and Xiaoying help Mr. Lin solve it!"

"Just take it!"

Lin Ran moved the basin a little bit and took two strings. He took one string for himself and handed one string to Xiaoying. He smiled and said, "Little girl, you are very brave and careful. I will reward you!"

"Thank you Mr. Lin!"

Xiaoying nodded, took the barbecue and started eating it without any ladylike manner. She was so hungry that her stomach was sticking to her back.

When the women on the other side saw this, they couldn't help but tease, "Xiaoying, Mr. Lin is still here. Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?"

"Ah, what's embarrassing?" Xiaoying raised her head stupidly, with oil and seasonings all over the corners of her mouth, making her look like a little cat. Everyone who saw her couldn't help laughing. Xiaoying realized the situation belatedly, and with a red face, she took out the handkerchief handed to her by the woman and wiped her mouth.

Everyone was eating and chatting, and the topic naturally extended to the ghostly resentful face flower.

Only then did Lin Ran realize that it was Cato who recognized the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower in the first place, despite Cato's potbellied appearance.

It was from Muller that Lin Ran learned that Cato was knowledgeable, had traveled to many states when he was young, and was an expert in finding medicinal materials.

At this time, everyone was talking about the reason why the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower failed this time. It was not only because of the obstruction of the Demonic Weapon Sect, but also because of the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower.

Cato said angrily, "Those sneaky guys must have done something to the Ghostly Face Flower. When we went there before, the Ghostly Face Flower would not emit the magic sound unless we got very close to activate it."

"Devil's voice?"

Lin Ran couldn't help but wonder, what other purpose does the sound of this ghostly face flower have?

This time, it was Xiaoying who explained on behalf of Lin Ran: "Mr. Lin, the devil sound is just a name we give to the voice of the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower. The voice of the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower is too sharp and harsh, and it will affect our souls. The closer we get, the more affected we will be, and we will fall into a chaotic and complicated illusion."

"Is it so powerful?"

Lin Ran frowned and thought. All he knew about the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower was what it looked like, but he didn't know it had such abilities.

"Yes, no matter what we do, we can only reduce the impact of its magic sound on us. We were fully prepared last time, but we didn't expect those sneaky guys to cause trouble!" Muller sighed.

Cato also said with great regret: "Originally, Pan Ze had a chance to pick it, but those evil guys used some unknown method in the dark. With a "whoosh" sound, a beam of light stimulated the flower. The ghost flower suddenly released a dark red miasma, and the guys who went to rescue Pan Ze were in trouble."

"So this is how the problem occurred..." Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart.

If he has Fanhua with him, he should be able to ignore the evil sound of the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower. As for the dark red miasma, it is probably the evil energy of the Void Evil Clan, which is not a problem for him. In this case, can he just pick the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower directly?

"When are you planning to go into the Ghost Forest again? Find some people to take me in!" Lin Ran asked.

"When?"

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and only Cato spoke up and said, "Mr. Lin, do you want to go in and give it a try? But the interior of the forest is full of dark red miasma, it's really dangerous!"

Others also echoed:

"That's right, Mr. Lin, why don't we wait until the miasma disappears before going in?"

"Pan Ze and the others are a warning to us!"

Everyone advised Lin Ran, mainly because the Ghostly Resentful Face Flower was too weird, and there were also people doing things secretly. Under such circumstances, it would be too dangerous for Lin Ran to go in.

Lin Ran didn't expect that everyone would persuade him, which made him feel warm inside. He smiled and explained, "Don't worry, everyone. I won't do anything I'm not sure of. I have another mission this time, which is to investigate the recent disappearances in Chunshui City. It is likely related to those evil sects. I must eliminate them all!"

"It's okay even if no one goes in with me. Just give me the detailed map and route, and I can go in by myself!" Lin Ran knew what these herb-picking teams were worried about. He also understood that it would be like walking into a tiger's mouth to let a group of people who were not too strong go in with him in such a dangerous place. But he needed the Ghost Face Flower, so he had to try it himself.

"Mr. Lin, what you said is too disloyal to us!"

Cato suddenly stood up tremblingly, threw the wine bottle to the side, and shouted angrily: "We are not cowards at all, Mr. Lin, I will take you in right now!"

People often say that drinking alcohol can make one braver. Even Muller, the leader of the herb-collecting team, didn't expect Cato to be so tough. He asked someone to hold Cato back, and he hurriedly explained to Lin Ran, "Mr. Lin, Cato just has a bad temper. He really means no harm to you!"

"It's okay, I'm not an unreasonable person!"

Lin Ran waved his hand. He actually admired Cato's kind-hearted personality.

Since Lin Ran proposed to go to the Ghost Face Flower again, the herb-picking team was willing to accompany him. They had already received orders from Xin Zhiqing that if Lin Ran needed anything, they would obey Lin Ran's words.

What's more, to a certain extent, they are also part of the Linghua Academy department, so there is no problem at all in listening to the words of Vice President Lin Ran.

While everyone was preparing vigorously, Lin Ran went to the Jinling Chamber of Commerce in Chunshui City to inquire about the current situation of missing people in Chunshui City.

Now the entire Northwest region is in Li Yuhan's hands. It is difficult for Li Yuhan to manage the entire territory into his own in just one month, but Li Yuhan is also smart. He has spread the Jinling Chamber of Commerce throughout the Northwest region. Almost every city has a Jinling Chamber of Commerce, which is equivalent to an intelligence department.

After Lin Ran arrived at the Jinling Chamber of Commerce, he showed his token and was soon met by the highest local official. They had a long private conversation, and Lin Ran got a lot of useful information. At the same time, he admired Li Yuhan's intelligence efforts.

Three days later, the entire herb-collecting team was ready. Lin Ran followed the group and chose to enter the Ghost Forest around noon in the morning.

There is a reason for this particularity. According to Cato, "The Yang energy is strong at noon, which can balance the Yin energy of this place to a considerable extent!"

The Ghost Forest was a place that made Lin Ran feel weird, because this forest was different from other forests in that the branches of the trees were all bare, and there was a faint miasma at the entrance.

"This place is really weird!" Lin Ran thought secretly in his heart.

But he changed his mind and couldn't help but feel that he was joking. If it wasn't a weird place, how could the ghostly face flower be born?

"Mr. Lin, although you may not need it given your strength, please still take this!"

Muller took out a specially made white cotton mask. After Lin Ran took it and put it on, he could smell a very fresh medicinal scent, which surprised him a little.

Perhaps noticing the expression on Lin Ran's face, Mueller said proudly: "Mr. Lin, this is a new invention of our team. In this way, even if you encounter the poisonous miasma or strange smell inside, you will not feel uncomfortable!"

"This is a good thing!" Lin Ran exclaimed.

As expected, the wisdom of the people is outstanding. If this thing is modified again, it will become a gas mask as small as a "fly head".

Muller was organizing the supplies and team members of the herb-picking team. Those who came with Lin Ran this time were almost all the strongest men in the entire herb-picking team, about six or seven people in total.

As for women, he didn't bring any with him. Lin Ran asked the reason. It's not that he looked down on women, but mainly because the magic sound of the Ghostly Face Flower seemed to have a miraculous effect on women.

The first time the herb-picking team dealt with the ghostly resentful face flower, the female comrades in the team were in so much pain when they heard the evil sound that some even became crazy and mad. They died soon after, and until their death, they had a terrified expression on their faces, as if they were frightened to death. Compared with the male comrades who only felt the noise and a certain degree of illusion, they were much more miserable.

After the team was organized, Mueller came to Lin Ran, bowed and said, "Mr. Lin, we can set off!"

"Then go in!"

Lin Ran waved his hand, and the group entered the bare ghost forest and disappeared in the faint miasma.

I don’t know how long it took, but another group of people came near the entrance of the Ghost Forest.

This group of people were all wearing black robes. One of them bowed to the black robed person in the middle and said respectfully: "Sir, this group of reckless herb-picking team just entered not long ago, and their target is our altar!"

"Let's go. We can't let them destroy our great emperor and come to this world!"

This group of black-robed people also followed into the ghost forest. Suddenly, the forest was filled with strange wind sounds, as if wailing...

……

55. Attacking Soul

Gloomy places are always the places that Lin Ran dislikes going to the most, especially this kind of white world. When he looked up, he could not see any sunlight. There was only seemingly endless white fog and bare trees in front of him. He could not hear many sounds. There was no sense of vitality and it was frighteningly quiet.

Lin Ran walked in front, with Muller beside him. They were very close to each other, and there were special long rope lock holes on their waists, connecting them to each other to avoid any signs of getting lost.

Cato was the navigator of the team. Every time he walked a certain distance, he would check the marks he had made previously to make sure he was not going in the wrong direction. The group moved forward steadily.

Soon the fog in front began to gradually turn into dark red demonic energy. After seeing the floating demonic energy, everyone immediately stuck behind Lin Ran. Lin Ran held up a golden shield to protect everyone as they drilled into the dark red demonic energy.

When the golden shield collided with the dark red demonic energy, a sizzling sound was made, like hot oil boiling, which made people feel a little irritated.

"Cato, is the direction I'm going all right?"

Lin Ran looked at the dark red in front of him and couldn't help but ask.

"Mr. Lin, there is no problem. I have made marks on the trees and some hidden places on the ground along the way. Look on the left, I can still see my marks, which means there is no problem!" Cato said.

Lin Ran followed where Cato pointed and saw obvious traces of digging the soil and a few stones under the big tree on the left.

"Cato is awesome!" Lin Ran couldn't help but sigh.

Cato scratched his sparse head, wrinkles on his face wrinkled with laughter, and said: "Hey, I'm not as powerful as you say, Mr. Lin. Without Mr. Lin, we can't even get in here!"

Muller patted Cato on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile: "You old man, don't you know that you look ugly when you laugh? Pay attention. We still have to be careful of those sneaky guys. Logically, they should be active near the Ghost Forest, but we didn't encounter them all the way here. There must be something fishy!"

Muller's awareness of vigilance is quite good. Lin Ran also learned from chatting with Muller that Muller used to run a large mercenary team, but later because of some things, he switched to the current herbal medicine team.

As he went deeper into the Ghost Forest, Lin Ran felt the soil under his feet become moist. Just as he was about to ask Cato, Cato spoke first: "Mr. Lin, we are deep in the forest. This is where the Ghost Face Flower grows!"

"right here?"
