I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Lei Yi, grasping at straws, dove headfirst into the woods. Dense branches and leaves obscured the sun, and the light inside was dim, a world apart from the outside. He had no idea where the woods led, but at this moment, he couldn't care less. He could only run desperately, hoping to escape the pursuers.

"Hoo...Hoo..." Lei Yi leaned against a tree, bent over and breathing heavily, his clothes soaked with sweat. He looked back and saw that the alley was empty. No one was chasing him. It seemed that he was safe for the time being.

He finally had time to take in his surroundings. The forest was eerie, with towering ancient trees and tangled vines. The ground was covered with thick fallen leaves, which made a rustling sound when stepped on, adding to the eerie atmosphere.

"Where have I been running to?" Lei Yi couldn't help but feel a little regretful. He should not have been so impulsive. Now, he has escaped from the wolf and fallen into the tiger's den.

"Boy, do you think you are safe hiding here?" A cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Lei Yi was suddenly horrified and turned around suddenly, only to see a dark shadow standing not far away with a playful smile on his face. It was one of the people who had chased him in the alley before.

"How could you..." Lei Yi asked in astonishment, his heart full of confusion and fear.

"Hehe, you think you can get rid of us just like that? How naive!" The man in black sneered, "Just follow us back obediently, and maybe you can suffer less."

Lei Yi knew he was doomed today, but he was unwilling to surrender. So he took a deep breath and said calmly, "Who are you? Why are you arresting me?"

"Humph, you're about to die, and you still want to know so much?" The man in black said, slowly approaching Lei Yi, "However, I can mercifully tell you that you have offended someone you shouldn't have offended, so..."

Before the man in black could finish his words, he suddenly seemed to step on something. With a "crack", the ground collapsed and he fell down.

"Ah..." A scream echoed in the silent woods.

Lei Yi was startled by this sudden change. He hurried forward to check, only to see a big hole on the ground and the man in black had disappeared.

Lei Yi secretly felt lucky, but at the same time, he became more cautious. This forest was full of strange things, and he had to be extremely alert to...

"Ah!" Lei Yi suddenly cried out in surprise, because he felt something wrapped around his ankle...

A sharp pain came from his ankle. Lei Yi looked down and saw that a vine as thick as his wrist had wrapped around his foot and was hanging him upside down.

"Damn it!" Lei Yi cursed inwardly. This sudden change caught him off guard. He struggled a few times, but found that the vines were extremely resilient and he couldn't break free at all.

"Why are there so many strange things in this woods?" Lei Yi groaned in his heart. Only then did he realize that he seemed to have mistakenly entered an extremely dangerous place.

Only then did he notice a few words carved on a tree trunk not far away - "Trespassers will die!"

"It seems that this is really a dangerous place!" Lei Yi's heart sank, and he became more cautious. He tried hard to recall the description of this world he had seen in the novel, hoping to find a way to solve the current dilemma.

He held his breath and carefully observed his surroundings, hoping to find some clues. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he found a tiny node on the vine that was wrapped around him, which seemed to be its weak point.

Lei Yi was delighted. He concentrated his mental strength, mobilized the little true energy in his body, and attacked the node fiercely.

"boom!"

With a slight sound, the vine broke and Lei Yi fell from mid-air, landing heavily on the ground.

"Hiss..." Lei Yi took a breath of cold air, and regardless of the pain in his body, he quickly got up and looked around vigilantly.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar suddenly came from the front, and then a huge beast rushed out from the depths of the woods.

This beast looks like a tiger, but is several times larger than a tiger. Its body is covered with black scales, and its eyes emit a faint green light, making it look extremely ferocious.

"What kind of monster is this?" Lei Yi was horrified. He had never seen such a ferocious beast and he stood there in a daze for a moment.

When the beast saw Lei Yi, it roared excitedly, opened its bloody mouth, and pounced towards him.

Lei Yi came to his senses and quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the beast's attack.

"No, this guy is too strong, I am no match for him!" Lei Yi thought to himself. He didn't dare to fight and turned around and ran away.

The beast was chasing relentlessly. Every step it took was like an earthquake on the ground. The trees shook violently and leaves fell.

Lei Yi fled around in the woods in a panic, while the beast chased him relentlessly, as if it would not stop until it tore him into pieces.

"Damn it, what the hell is this place!" Lei Yi's heart was filled with despair. He didn't know how much longer he could hold on...

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from not far away: "Lei Yi, what are you doing?"

When Lei Yi heard this voice, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in his heart. He looked up and saw a woman in white standing not far away, looking at him with a playful look on her face...

"Miss Dongfang, save me!" Lei Yi saw Dongfang Liuli as if he had seen a savior. He didn't care about anything else and shouted at the top of his voice.

Dongfang Liuli folded her arms and calmly looked at the beleaguered Lei Yi, a playful smile on her lips. "Why? The eldest young master of the Lei family has fallen on hard times like this?"

Lei Yi was choked by her sarcastic tone, but he didn't have time to argue with her at the moment, so he could only explain anxiously: "Miss Dongfang, I'm really in danger this time, look!" He pointed to the huge black beast behind him that was approaching step by step.

Dongfang Liuli followed his gaze, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said calmly, "Oh? This beast does seem a bit troublesome, but what does this have to do with me?"

"Miss Dongfang, please stop teasing me," Lei Yi said with a bitter face. "I admit that I was wrong before and deceived you time and time again, but I swear, I really have no ill intentions this time. I simply strayed into these woods. Who knew I would encounter such a monster!"

Dongfang Liuli chuckled, clearly not believing his words. "Master Lei, do you think I'm a three-year-old? You think I'd believe such a clumsy lie?"

"I..." Lei Yi opened his mouth, but he didn't know how to explain. Dongfang Liuli was right. He had indeed deceived her many times before. Now that he said he was wronged, it was no wonder she didn't believe him.

"Forget it, I have something else to do, so I won't keep you company." Dongfang Liuli shook his head and turned to leave.

"Don't go! Miss Dongfang, please save me!" Lei Yi panicked when he saw her about to leave. He didn't care about the pain in his body and rolled over to hug Dongfang Liuli's legs.

Dongfang Liuli was startled by his sudden action. She looked down at Lei Yi, who was hugging her thigh tightly, and frowned slightly. "Lei Yi, how dare you!"

"I won't let go! Unless you promise to save me!" Lei Yi raised his head, his eyes full of pleading and despair.

Dongfang Liuli looked at the man before her, a completely different person from her previous cynical demeanor, and she couldn't help but feel a little shaken. But she never liked being threatened, especially when this man was the type she hated the most.

"Do you think I will compromise like this?" Dongfang Liuli said coldly, with a hint of anger in his tone.

Lei Yi was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand something. He slowly loosened his grip and slumped to the ground, a wry smile on his face. "I understand. I was forcing you. Go away."

Dongfang Liuli looked at his dejected figure, feeling a mixture of emotions. She wanted to turn around and leave, but for some reason, her steps felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

"Roar!" The roar of the black beast behind him grew closer, and Lei Yi's heart sank deeper and deeper. He didn't know if Dongfang Liuli would come to his aid, but he knew that if she didn't, he would probably die here today.

Dongfang Liuli took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision. She turned around abruptly, but did not draw her sword. She just looked coldly at the approaching black beast.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Do you want to collect my body?" Dongfang Liuli said to Lei Yi without turning her head, and there was no emotion in her tone.

Lei Yi was stunned at first, then he understood what Dongfang Liuli meant. She was going to face this beast alone! He suddenly became anxious and didn't care about anything else. He struggled to stand up, "Miss Dongfang, why are you doing this? Go away, my life is worthless!"

"Shut up!" Dongfang Liuli shouted, interrupting Lei Yi. Her gaze was as sharp as a torch, fixed on the black beast, a fierce aura gradually emanating from her.

The beast seemed to have sensed Dongfang Liuli's power. It stopped and let out a low roar. Its scarlet eyes stared at Dongfang Liuli, and the muscles in its limbs were tense, ready to attack at any time.

"Roar!" The black beast could no longer hold back. It opened its bloody mouth and pounced towards Dongfang Liuli.

Dongfang Liuli dodged the beast's attack with a flick of her body. She didn't rush to counterattack, but instead circled the beast, seemingly searching for its weakness.

Lei Yi was terrified watching from the side. Although he didn't know martial arts, he could see that this black beast was no ordinary creature. Although Dongfang Liuli was powerful, he must not take it lightly.

"Miss Dongfang, be careful!" Lei Yi couldn't help but remind her.

Dongfang Liuli ignored him. Her eyes were always fixed on the black beast, and her mind was quickly analyzing its attack methods and weaknesses.

The black beast launched attacks again and again, but each time Dongfang Liuli cleverly dodged them. It seemed to realize that this was not a solution, so it changed its strategy, no longer blindly attacking, but began to use its own speed and strength to continuously reduce Dongfang Liuli's movement space.

Dongfang Liuli gradually felt a sense of pressure. This black beast was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined. However, she did not panic, but instead responded more calmly.

At this moment, the black beast seized a flaw of Dongfang Liuli, jumped up suddenly, and pounced towards her fiercely.

"Be careful!" Lei Yi exclaimed, his heart almost jumping out of his throat.

At the critical moment, Dongfang Liuli's figure suddenly disappeared...

"boom!"

The black beast missed its target and fell heavily to the ground with a loud noise, causing dust to fly up.

Lei Yi watched this scene in shock. He didn't know where Dongfang Liuli had gone, nor did he know whether she was safe.

The black beast got up from the ground and let out an angry roar. It looked around, as if looking for Dongfang Liuli.

At this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind the black beast: "Beast, your opponent is me!"

Lei Yi turned his head sharply and saw Dongfang Liuli had appeared behind the black beast without him noticing. She had unsheathed her longsword, and the blade was flashing with a cold light...

"Come on!"
