I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Lei Yi followed Zhou Tong through the deep cave, and suddenly, the view opened up to a lush forest. Warm sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled spots of light on the ground. Birdsong filled the air, and a gentle breeze caressed the air, making it feel like a paradise.

"Where is this..." Lei Yi looked around, his heart full of doubts.

"This is the back mountain of the holy land, and it's also the only path leading to the outside world." Zhou Tong stroked his beard and said with a smile, "My child, the answer you want to find is in this forest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Yi felt dizzy and his vision went dark. When he woke up again, he found himself in the forest.

"Lei Yi! You finally woke up!" Dongfang Liuli's anxious voice came from the side.

Lei Yi turned his head and saw Dongfang Liuli standing beside him, her pretty face full of worry.

"Liuli, why are you here?" Lei Yi struggled to sit up and looked around, but there was no sign of Zhou Tong.

"I don't know either. I just remember that we were swept away by the quicksand, and when we woke up, we found ourselves here." Dongfang Liuli shook her head, a hint of confusion in her tone. "By the way, do you still remember the clue that Master Murong mentioned? What should we do now?"

Lei Yi pondered for a moment and looked up at the sky. The sun was setting and the light in the forest was gradually dimming.

"Looks like we need to find a place to rest first and make plans tomorrow."

As the two were talking, they heard footsteps not far away. They looked in the direction of the sound and saw a burly, dark-skinned man walking towards them.

"Big brother, where is this place?" Lei Yi stepped forward and asked.

The man looked Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli up and down, a hint of vigilance flashing in his eyes: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"We are lost and came here by mistake. Could you please give us some directions, brother?" Dongfang Liuli saw this and hurried forward to explain.

The man paused for a moment, then said, "This is deep in the Misty Forest, and few people come here. I don't think you're bad people. So, I'm Lin Chong, a hunter from nearby. You can come back to my cabin and rest for the night. I'll take you out tomorrow morning."

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli looked at each other. Although they were a little confused, they had no better solution at the moment, so they nodded and agreed.

Lin Chong led them through many twists and turns until they arrived at a secluded valley, where there was a simple wooden house surrounded by a wooden fence.

"You guys just rest here, I'll go get something to eat." After saying this, Lin Chong turned and went into the wooden house.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli walked into the wooden house and found that there was only a bed and a table in the house, which looked very simple.

"Lei Yi, do you think this hunter is a little strange?" Dongfang Liuli said in a low voice, "He seems to be deliberately leading us deep into the forest."

Lei Yi nodded. He also sensed Lin Chong's strangeness, but he couldn't be sure of his purpose yet.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Lei Yi said in a low voice, "Let's be careful and see what he wants to do."

As night fell, the forest was completely silent, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects. Lin Chong walked in with two bowls of steaming broth and invited Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli to eat.

"You two, try my cooking." Lin Chong said, putting the broth on the table.

Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli took the broth, but did not pick up their chopsticks immediately. Instead, they looked at Lin Chong warily.

"What's wrong? Do you two dislike my cooking skills?" Seeing this, Lin Chong showed a hint of displeasure on his face.

"No, it's just that we're not hungry yet." Lei Yi said with a smile, "Brother Lin, why don't you tell us about this Misty Forest? We know nothing about it and we're a little scared."

After hearing this, Lin Chong hesitated for a moment, sighed, and said, "Well, since you want to know, I'll tell you..."

He put down his bowl and chopsticks and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly, looked out the window, and shouted, "Who is it?!"

Before Lin Chong finished speaking, a dark shadow broke through the window and flew in. Lei Yi took a closer look and saw that it was a huge black panther with bared fangs and a fierce look in its eyes.

"Be careful!" Lei Yi pushed Dongfang Liuli away, drew the long sword from his waist, and rushed towards the black panther.

The black panther's movements were so swift that Lei Yi didn't dare to confront it head-on, relying on his agility to dodge. However, the cabin was small, and Lei Yi had limited room to dodge, and he quickly fell behind.

Seeing this, Dongfang Liuli drew the whip from her waist and joined the fray. The whip danced like a snake, lashing at the black panther with muffled sounds.

The black panther roared in pain, attacking even more fiercely. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli joined forces to barely hold back its attacks.

"Roar!"

With another roar, an even larger bear broke through the door and joined the battle.

"Damn it! How can there be so many wild beasts?!" Lei Yi cursed in his heart, and danced the sword in his hand more rapidly.

The giant bear was incredibly powerful, and a single blow from its palm could rock the wooden house to the point of collapse. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli were overwhelmed by the danger, and the situation was extremely dangerous.

At this moment, Lei Yi's feet suddenly slipped and he stepped into a trap, and his body suddenly lost balance.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and quickly swung out the whip, trying to grab Lei Yi.

However, the giant bear took the opportunity to pounce on Dongfang Liuli, and its huge paw slammed into her chest with the force of a tidal wave.

At the critical moment, Lei Yi suddenly swung his palm and pushed Dongfang Liuli away.

"boom!"

The giant bear slapped the air with its palm, smashing a large hole in the wall of the wooden house. Dongfang Liuli was still in shock and before she could stand still, she saw Lei Yi being slapped away by the giant bear's palm and falling heavily on the open space outside the wooden house.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli rushed out desperately, but saw Lei Yi struggling to stand up, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Are you okay?" Dongfang Liuli asked anxiously.

Lei Yi shook his head and was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed. He suddenly pulled Dongfang Liuli behind him and shouted, "Be careful!"

Before Dongfang Liuli could react, she felt a strong wind whistling past her ears. She turned around and saw that the black panther had circled behind her and was pouncing at her with its bloody mouth wide open.

"Beast, seeking death!"

Lei Yi roared angrily, and the internal energy in his body suddenly circulated, and he slapped the black panther with one palm.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the black panther was slapped away by Lei Yi's palm, and hit a big tree heavily, letting out a shrill scream.

"Lei Yi, you..."

Dongfang Liuli looked at Lei Yi with shock in her eyes. She knew Lei Yi was powerful, but she had never expected him to be able to repel the black panther with just one palm strike.

"Now is not the time to talk about this, let's leave here first!" Lei Yi said, pulled Dongfang Liuli up, turned around and ran.

However, before they could run far, they were blocked by Lin Chong.

"Where do you want to go?" Lin Chong looked at them coldly, with a dangerous glint in his eyes.

"Lin Chong, what do you mean?!" Lei Yi asked angrily, "Why did you lead us here?"

"Hmph, don't you want to know the secret of Master Murong? I'll take you to see him right now!" Lin Chong said, taking out a flare from his arms, lighting it and throwing it into the air.

"Whoosh!"

The flare took off, exploding into a dazzling red spark in the night sky.

"you……"

Lei Yi was shocked. He knew that Lin Chong was informing Master Murong.

"Lei Yi, what should we do now?" Dongfang Liuli asked anxiously.

Lei Yi looked at Lin Chong, a cold glint in his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Get rid of him first!"

Before he finished speaking, Lei Yi attacked like lightning and punched Lin Chong in the face.

Lin Chong was prepared and dodged Lei Yi's attack by leaning sideways while punching back.

The two fists collided with a dull thud. Lei Yi and Lin Chong each took a step back, a flicker of surprise in their eyes.

"I didn't expect you to have some skills!" Lin Chong sneered, "But do you think you can defeat me like this?"

"We'll know if I can defeat you after trying!" Lei Yi said, rushing towards Lin Chong again.

The two men fought in a group, punching and kicking each other, each move was fierce, and it was difficult to tell the winner for a while.

Dongfang Liuli watched the battle from the side, feeling extremely anxious. She knew that with Lei Yi's current strength, it would not be easy to defeat Lin Chong.

Sure enough, at this moment, Lei Yi suddenly groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed and hurried forward to check.

"I'm fine." Lei Yi shook his head, signaling Dongfang Liuli not to worry.

"Hmph, the last gasp of a dying horse!" Lin Chong sneered and attacked Lei Yi again.

Seeing this, Dongfang Liuli hurriedly waved her whip to try to block Lin Chong's attack.

However, Lin Chong's strength was superior to hers after all, and Dongfang Liuli's attacks could not pose any threat to him at all.

"Go away!"

Lin Chong slapped out with his palm, knocking Dongfang Liuli back several steps, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Liuli!" Seeing this, Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he roared angrily, rushing towards Lin Chong regardless of everything.

"Lei Yi, don't!" Dongfang Liuli wanted to stop him, but it was too late.

"Go to hell!" Lin Chong sneered and slapped Lei Yi on the chest.

At the critical moment, a powerful force suddenly surged out of Lei Yi's body, and he swung a punch to meet Lin Chong's attack.

The two forces collided with a deafening roar. Lin Chong screamed, his body flying backwards, and fell heavily to the ground, his life or death unknown.

"Lei Yi, you..." Dongfang Liuli looked at Lei Yi, his eyes full of shock and worry.

Lei Yi didn't say anything. He felt the strength in his body was fading and his body was becoming weaker and weaker.

"Liuli, be careful..." Lei Yi's voice became lower and lower. Finally, his eyes went dark and he fainted on the ground.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli hurriedly supported Lei Yi, but found that he was pale and breathing weakly, obviously suffering from serious internal injuries.

"What should I do? What should I do?" Dongfang Liuli was so anxious that tears were about to come out. She didn't know what to do.

Just then, footsteps could be heard from afar. Dongfang Liuli looked up and saw… A flurry of hurried footsteps approached. Her heart tightened, thinking it was Young Master Murong's reinforcements arriving. She suppressed her grief, shielding Lei Yi behind her, and taking a defensive stance, ready for a desperate fight.

However, the one who appeared before him was not a ferocious enemy, but a slender woman in a tight-fitting outfit, looking very heroic. Behind her were several nimble guards, each with a vigilant expression and holding a sharp blade.

"Miss, are you okay?" The guards immediately stepped forward to ask when they saw Dongfang Liuli.

Dongfang Liuli finally breathed a sigh of relief. The person who came was none other than the guard she had secretly arranged. It seemed the flare had worked. "I'm fine, it's just..." She glanced at the unconscious Lei Yi, and hesitated to speak.

"Is this young master injured?" The leader of the guards was experienced and could tell at a glance that Lei Yi was in critical condition.

Dongfang Liuli nodded, briefly recounted what had just happened, and asked anxiously, "Do you have any way to save him?"
