I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Lei Yi pulled Dongfang Liuli along, and as the loud noise grew closer, they finally reached the corner of the rock face. There, a cave entrance, about a meter tall, suddenly appeared before their eyes. Surrounded by jagged rocks and tangled vines, it resembled the mouth of a giant beast hidden in the darkness.

"Go in!" Lei Yi didn't have time to explain. He pushed Dongfang Liuli and slipped in.

Almost immediately after they entered the cave, the earth-shaking roar reached the valley. Elder Qin watched as Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli disappeared into the cave, a sinister glint in his eyes.

"Want to escape? Not that easy!" He shouted angrily, and was about to chase in with his sword.

However, before he could take a step, a creepy roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave!

"Roar--!"

The sound was deafening, as if it came from an ancient ferocious beast, carrying boundless pressure and anger, making people tremble with fear. Elder Qin stopped in his tracks, his face turning extremely grim.

"What's that sound?" The Xuantian Sect disciples behind him were so frightened by the sudden roar that their faces turned pale and they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Elder Qin stared intently at the dark cave entrance, his eyes filled with fear. Though ruthless, he was no reckless man. This cave was so secluded, and coupled with that terrifying roar, it was clearly not a benign place.

"Elder, should we continue to chase?" a disciple asked bravely.

Elder Qin hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said in a deep voice, "No rush, let's see what happens first."

He just didn't believe that this kid could hide in the cave for his entire life! Elder Qin glanced coldly at the cave entrance, turned around and walked to a large rock nearby to sit down, his face gloomy, waiting for the opportunity.

Inside the cave, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, guided by the dim light, inched deeper. The deeper they went, the thicker the mysterious aura grew, seemingly accompanied by a hint of danger...

"What is this place?" Dongfang Liuli's voice echoed in the empty cave, with a barely perceptible tremor.

Lei Yi shook his head, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful here..." Before he could finish his words, two faint green lights suddenly lit up in the darkness ahead, like will-o'-the-wisp fire from hell, making him shudder...

The cave twisted and turned, growing darker the deeper they went. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli could only grope along the rock walls, cautiously moving forward. The air was filled with the scent of damp earth, mixed with the fragrance of some unknown flower, eerily unsettling.

"Watch your step." Lei Yi reminded softly, holding the hilt of the sword tightly in his hand, not daring to relax at all.

Dongfang Liuli nodded slightly, a wary glint in her beautiful eyes. She gently tugged at Lei Yi's sleeve, her fingertips cold, clearly sensing the unusual aura within the cave.

Suddenly, two faint green lights appeared in the darkness ahead, flickering like ghost lights in the darkness, which was creepy.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli stopped immediately, held their breath, and stared at the two green lights.

The next moment, the green light suddenly rushed forward, accompanied by heavy footsteps and heavy breathing, and a huge monster appeared in front of them.

It was a massive white ape, its hair standing on end like snow-white steel needles, its muscles wiry and muscular, as if brimming with explosive power. Its eyes were wide open, flashing a ferocious green light, its bloody mouth gaping with sharp fangs, and its deep roar echoed through the cave, jarring the eardrums.

The white ape was obviously very angry about the arrival of the two intruders. It pounded its chest hard and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves echoed back and forth in the narrow cave, as if to shatter people's eardrums.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli leaned against the cold rock wall, their hearts sinking when faced with this sudden behemoth.

"Is this... a guardian beast?" Lei Yi whispered, sweat oozing from his palms as he gripped the hilt of the sword.

Dongfang Liuli didn't answer, but simply shook her head slightly, signaling Lei Yi not to act rashly. She slowly raised her hands, palms facing outward, to indicate that she meant no harm.

"We mean no harm..." Dongfang Liuli tried to soothe the white ape with a gentle voice. However, before she could finish her words, the white ape suddenly roared and pounced towards them...

The white ape was incredibly fast, its massive form like a ball of white lightning, and in the blink of an eye, it was in front of Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli. It swung its fist, the size of a clay pot, and with a whistling sound, it smashed fiercely at Lei Yi.

Lei Yi was startled, and at the critical moment, he suddenly dodged to the side, barely avoiding the white ape's fatal blow. With a loud "bang", the white ape's fist slammed heavily into the rock wall, sending rocks flying and dust billowing.

"Let's go!" Lei Yi shouted, and before the white ape could react, he pulled Dongfang Liuli up and ran deep into the cave.

The white ape's attack missed, and it became even more angry. It roared to the sky, stretched out its strong limbs, and rushed through the narrow cave like a heavy chariot, chasing Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli madly.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli ran desperately in the rugged cave. The roar of the white ape was chasing them closely behind them, like a devil's voice urging them to die, making them dare not stop for a moment.

"This is not a solution. Sooner or later, it will catch up with us!" Dongfang Liuli said anxiously while running.

"I know!" Lei Yi said gritting his teeth, his eyes quickly scanning the surrounding environment, trying to find a place to hide.

However, the cave seemed to have no end. They had run a long way but still did not see any exit or fork in the road.

The roar of the white ape was getting closer and closer. It had caught up with them, and its huge body blocked the way ahead. Its pair of fierce green eyes stared at them, as if it wanted to tear them into pieces.

Lei Yi knew that there was no way to escape, so he protected Dongfang Liuli behind him, looked at the white ape with a firm gaze, and drew the long sword in his hand, shining with a cold light.

"Don't worry about me, I'll hold it back, and you find a chance to escape!" Lei Yi said in a deep voice. He knew that with his own strength, it was impossible for him to defeat this giant beast with infinite power, but he had to fight for a chance to escape for Dongfang Liuli.

"No, let's go together!" Dongfang Liuli flatly refused, with a determined light flashing in her beautiful eyes. She drew a silver whip from her waist and stood side by side with Lei Yi, ready to face this life-and-death test together.

Before Lei Yi could say anything else, the white ape attacked again. It swung its huge fist and rushed towards the two of them with overwhelming force.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli didn't dare to confront the ape head-on, and could only dodge the ape's attacks while looking for opportunities to counterattack. However, the ape's power was too great, and each attack carried a devastating force, leaving them exhausted and unable to find any chance to counterattack.

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from outside the cave, accompanied by several low voices:

"Elder, are we really going in? There seems to be something terrifying in this cave..."

"What are you afraid of? The elder is here, are you still afraid of those monsters and demons?"

Hearing these voices, Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Elder Qin is catching up!

…The footsteps outside the cave were getting closer and closer, and Elder Qin's cold voice echoed in the cave: "Search them! They must be in there, dead or alive!"

Obviously, Elder Qin had no intention of venturing into the cave, instead choosing to have his men lead the way. The cave was dark and full of dangers, so rather than risking his own life, it was better to let his men explore the way first.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli leaned against the cold rock wall, their breathing becoming rapid. The white ape's attack was ferocious, and they were already on the verge of collapse. Now, they had to face the threat from outside the cave, and their situation was extremely precarious.

"What should we do?" Dongfang Liuli asked in a low voice, her beautiful eyes full of worry.

Lei Yi didn't say anything, but just held the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes scanning back and forth between the white ape and the cave entrance, thinking quickly about countermeasures in his mind.

The white ape roared and pounced on them again. Lei Yi pulled Dongfang Liuli along and dodged as the ape's massive body brushed past them, stirring up a gust of wind.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

There were sounds of fighting and screams coming from the cave entrance. It was obvious that Elder Qin's men had already engaged in a fight with other creatures in the cave.

Lei Yi was delighted, thinking this might be an opportunity for him. He dodged the white ape's attack while observing the situation at the cave entrance.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, flames shot up into the sky from the cave entrance. Accompanied by a shrill scream, a figure flew out and fell heavily to the ground not far from Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli. It was unknown whether he was alive or dead.

"Waste!" Elder Qin roared from the cave entrance. "A bunch of waste! You can't even get into a cave!"

Immediately afterwards, Elder Qin appeared at the entrance of the cave. He scanned the cave with a cold gaze, but found no trace of Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli.

"Go in and search. If you can't find them, don't come out alive!" Elder Qin roared at the few remaining men behind him.

Although several men were afraid, they had no choice but to walk into the cave under the pressure of Elder Qin's power.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli hid in the dark, and their hearts tightened as they watched those men walk into the cave.

Now, they are attacked from all sides and their situation is even more dangerous...

Lei Yi's toes seemed to touch something hard and cold.
