I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

The morning mist hadn't yet dissipated when two figures appeared at the edge of the forest. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, one in front and one behind, stepped into this deep sea of ​​green with familiarity. Sunlight filtered through the layers of branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the ground, but it couldn't dispel the chilling air of the forest.

"Be careful, the beasts here are more ferocious than usual." Lei Yi warned in a low voice, the sword in his hand glowing coldly, and he was always alert to the movements around him.

Dongfang Liuli nodded gently, her beautiful eyes scanning the surroundings. Ever since the last attack, she had become wary of this seemingly peaceful forest. The long whip in her hand emanated a faint spiritual aura, ready to respond to any sudden danger.

The two of them continued along the path they had taken last time. The air was filled with the damp scent of rotting leaves and mud. After walking for about half an hour, Lei Yi suddenly stopped, staring sharply ahead.

"What's wrong?" Dongfang Liuli asked in a low voice, while tightening the whip in his hand.

"There's movement." Lei Yi said in a low voice, signaling Dongfang Liuli to be alert.

As soon as he finished speaking, several deep roars echoed from the front, accompanied by waves of ground shaking. Several massive beasts darted out from the bushes, their blood-red eyes fixed on Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, growling menacingly.

"It's those beasts from last time!" Dongfang Liuli recognized these beasts at a glance. It was here that they were attacked by these beasts last time.

"There are more of them, and..." Lei Yi narrowed his eyes and found that the aura of these beasts was more ferocious than last time, with bloodthirsty light flashing in their eyes. "They seem to be controlled by someone."

"Roar!"

The leading beast roared and lunged at Lei Yi. Despite its massive size, it was incredibly agile, its sharp claws flashing with a cold light, as if it was about to tear Lei Yi to pieces.

Lei Yi was well prepared. He dodged the beast's attack with a flash of his body. The sword in his hand turned into a silver light and pierced the beast's throat.

"when!"

With a crisp sound, the sharp sword collided with the beast's tough fur, leaving only a shallow white mark. The beast, in pain, attacked Lei Yi even more frantically, and the other beasts also swarmed over, surrounding the two.

A fierce battle was about to break out. Swords flashed, whips flew, and the forest echoed with the roars of wild beasts and the clash of weapons. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli stood back to back, working in perfect harmony as they withstood wave after wave of attacks.

"These beasts are too strange, let's end this quickly!" Dongfang Liuli shouted, and the long whip in her hand danced like a spirit snake, whipping a beast away.

Lei Yi nodded, and the momentum of his sword changed. A sharp sword energy pierced the air and forced several beasts back. He seized the opportunity and pulled Dongfang Liuli up. The two of them leaped onto a towering tree, temporarily avoiding the siege of the beasts.

"Huh...huh..."

Standing on the tree branch, the two men looked down at the crazy beast below, both panting.

"These beasts seem to have been deliberately lured here," Dongfang Liuli frowned, feeling uneasy. "We might have walked into a trap..."

Lei Yi didn't say anything, but scanned the surroundings fiercely. Suddenly, his eyes fell on a bush not far away. There seemed to be something there...

“No!” Lei Yi’s pupils shrank, and he shouted in a low voice, “Be careful…” “No!” Lei Yi’s pupils shrank, and he shouted in a low voice, “Be careful…”

Dongfang Liuli followed Lei Yi's gaze and saw a bush not far away. Although it looked ordinary, the arrangement of the branches and leaves revealed a trace of deliberate intention. The last time they fell into the trap, it was because they ignored these seemingly ordinary details.

"Another trap?" Dongfang Liuli's heart trembled, and she couldn't help but admire Lei Yi's keen observation. If Lei Yi hadn't discovered it in time, they might have made the same mistake again.

Lei Yi said nothing, simply leaping from the tree and landing lightly in front of a bush. He carefully parted the branches, revealing a dark, deep pit. The bottom of the pit was filled with sharp bamboo thorns, gleaming coldly, clearly a deadly trap.

"Sure enough..." Lei Yi's eyes darkened. These traps were more hidden and more vicious than the last time they encountered. If he hadn't been prepared, it would have been difficult for him to detect them.

"It seems our guess was right. Someone is secretly causing trouble in this forest." Dongfang Liuli also jumped down from the tree, a cold glint flashing in her beautiful eyes. "That hunter from last time was probably involved as well."

Lei Yi nodded slightly. He also felt that the hunter's behavior was suspicious and very likely related to the mastermind. However, they did not have any solid evidence and could not expose the other party's true identity.

"Let's go, let's be careful, I want to see who is playing tricks behind this!" Lei Yi said, put away his sword, took out a dagger from his arms, and cleared the way ahead.

The two men carefully avoided the traps and continued to go deeper into the forest. Along the way, they found several more traps, some set on tree branches, and some hidden in the grass. If Lei Yi hadn't been alert, he would have fallen into them long ago.

"These traps seem to be set up specifically for us." Dongfang Liuli observed the layout of the traps, feeling increasingly uneasy. "It seems the other party had this planned long ago."

"Hmph, no matter who he is, as long as he dares to come out, I will make sure he never comes back!" Lei Yi snorted coldly and tightened the dagger in his hand.

After walking for about half an hour, the two arrived at a valley. A strange fog filled the valley, obscuring the view and making it impossible to see what was inside.

"Be careful, there's something strange here." Lei Yi warned in a low voice, slowed down his pace, and looked around vigilantly.

"Yeah." Dongfang Liuli also tightened the whip in his hand and prepared for battle.

The two stepped cautiously into the valley, and thick fog immediately enveloped them. At this moment, several low growls of wild beasts came from the depths of the fog, accompanied by a series of creepy footsteps.

"Here it comes!" Lei Yi shouted softly, and the dagger in his hand flashed with a cold light.

The next moment, several huge beasts rushed out from the fog and pounced on the two...

Lei Yi's body moved like lightning, the dagger in his hand morphing into a trail of afterimages as he engaged several beasts in a fierce battle. However, just as he took a step forward, preparing to evade the beast's attack, a strange force suddenly surged from beneath his feet, binding him tightly... "Damn it!" Lei Yi cursed softly, realizing that a black swamp had appeared beneath him, emitting a foul odor. This seemingly ordinary swamp possessed a powerful suction force, dragging him downward.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli exclaimed upon seeing this, waving the long whip in her hand, forcing back several beasts that were pouncing on Lei Yi, and shouted anxiously, "How are you? Hold on!"

Lei Yi gritted his teeth and tried to circulate his Qi to break free from the swamp. However, the swamp seemed to have a strange power that continuously devoured his Qi, leaving him powerless to resist.

"Don't worry about me, deal with these beasts first!" Lei Yi shouted at Dongfang Liuli, enduring the pain of his body being torn apart.

Dongfang Liuli refused to listen. While fending off the beasts' attacks, she anxiously searched for a way to break the trap. However, the beasts seemed to be controlled by some force and rushed towards her fearlessly, leaving her unable to split her attention.

"No, if this goes on, we'll all be trapped here!" Dongfang Liuli was extremely anxious, but she knew she couldn't lose her composure at this moment. She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and observed her surroundings, hoping to find a glimmer of hope.

Lei Yi watched Dongfang Liuli being surrounded by more and more beasts, his heart burning with anxiety, but he was powerless to do anything. He struggled desperately, trying to get out of the swamp, but it was all in vain.

"Liuli, be careful!" Lei Yi suddenly saw a huge beast circling behind Dongfang Liuli, opening its bloody mouth and biting towards her back.

Dongfang Liuli was currently engaged in a fight with several other beasts, completely unaware of the danger behind her. Seeing the beast's sharp teeth about to bite her body, Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot and he let out a roar of rage.

A powerful force suddenly erupted from Lei Yi's body, shaking the air around him. The black swamp, like ice and snow meeting the blazing sun, quickly melted and disintegrated before this force.

"What's going on?" Dongfang Liuli felt that the crisis behind her was over, turned around and looked at Lei Yi in surprise.

Lei Yi's eyes were now red, and he exuded a violent aura, as if he had become a completely different person. He took a step forward, his body moving like lightning, and instantly rushed to Dongfang Liuli's side. He punched out, sending the attacking beast flying.

"Are you... okay?" Dongfang Liuli looked at the unfamiliar Lei Yi in front of her, her heart full of confusion and worry.

Lei Yi didn't answer. He grabbed Dongfang Liuli's wrist and pulled her behind him. His voice was low and hoarse: "I'm fine. Leave it to me next..."

Lei Yi seemed to be enveloped in a blood-red mist. His attacks were brutal and deadly, and he quickly dispatched all the attacking beasts. Dongfang Liuli looked at the completely different Lei Yi before her, feeling a mixture of emotions, yet also a vague sense of familiarity.

"Who are you?" Dongfang Liuli couldn't help but ask, but Lei Yi just shook his head, the bloodshot in his eyes gradually fading, and he collapsed to the ground exhausted. When he woke up again, he had returned to his usual cynical self.

"What just happened?" Lei Yi asked, feigning confusion. Dongfang Liuli simply gave him a long look without uttering a single word. The two continued deeper into the forest, with the hunter leading the way. He seemed to be very familiar with the area, always skillfully avoiding dangerous areas.

"It's just ahead," Hunter Lin said, pointing to an open space. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli exchanged a glance, then lightened their steps and slowly approached. Pushing aside the dense branches, they saw a clearing filled with crude wooden huts. Dozens of men in black were training, a chilling atmosphere emanating from them.

"These people should be the private soldiers raised by Young Master Murong." Dongfang Liuli said in a low voice, "It seems that our guess is correct, he is indeed plotting something." Lei Yi nodded slightly, his eyes swept over the men in black, secretly thinking about how to break through this line of defense.

"Master Lei, Miss Dongfang, what should we do next?" asked Hunter Lin. Lei Yi pondered for a moment and his eyes fell on a high platform not far away. It seemed to be the sentry post of this group of men in black. As long as they could control that place, they would be able to seize the initiative.

"Liuli, follow me," Lei Yi whispered, then vanished in a flash. Dongfang Liuli followed closely behind him. Like ghosts, the two of them weaved through the dense forest, heading towards the platform...

"Wait, something seems to be coming..." Hunter Lin's expression suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli exchanged a glance, a trace of solemnity flashing in their eyes. They held their breath and listened carefully to the movements around them.
