My Lord God of War, your wife is attracting new lovers

The mission that Luo Qingran accepted from the mercenary guild was to find two plants of Sphagnum Splendens in the Soul-Breaking Mountains. This herb only grows in dark and humid jungles where there is no sunlight all year round. The plant has thick and tough fibrous roots that are upright and hard with white pith, but its appearance can easily be confused with ordinary shrubs and is difficult to distinguish.

Luo Qingran looked around and saw that there were few trees here, only rocks and dry ground. It seemed that they had to continue walking inside. At least they had to find a dense forest.

Luo Qingran found the direction on the map, then took Mei Zi's arm and turned to walk in another direction. Xuanyuan Lei saw the direction they were going, frowned, and hurriedly followed.

At this time, Xiao Fu said in her sea of ​​consciousness: "Sister, the stench is getting stronger and stronger. I always have a bad feeling. Sister, be careful!"

"Okay, why do I feel like we're the only ones who can smell the stench?" Luo Qingran was puzzled. She looked at the facial expressions of Mei Zi and Xuanyuan Lei and the other two behind her, and they all looked very normal.

"I also noticed it, but I don't know the reason." Xiao Fu was also very depressed about this. This meant that she and her sister had to keep smelling the stench. She was so angry!

When they were heading towards the woods, they found that not only was there no flying bird to be seen outside, but even the mercenary teams that had entered the mountains to complete missions before were nowhere to be seen.

This alone is enough to raise everyone's high vigilance, but sometimes things happen in unexpected ways.

As everyone was walking, they suddenly felt a vibration coming from under their feet. The vibration came so fast and without warning that even the pebbles on the ground were shaken off the ground by this force.

Luo Qingran spread out his spiritual sense, trying to find the source of this power, but found that the area covered by his spiritual sense was less than half of what it was before, and wherever his spiritual sense went was within the range of this power, making it impossible to judge. Moreover, the vibration was getting more and more intense. If they could not support each other, they would not be able to stand firm.

"Your Highness, has this situation ever happened before?" Luo Qingran asked.

Xuanyuan Lei also noticed the weirdness of the situation at this time, and shook his head and said, "Never." He turned his head and looked at Lei Yu, "Go check around first and see if there is anything unusual around. Go quickly and come back soon."

"Yes." Lei Yu flashed and ran away.

Xuanyuan Lei looked at Luo Qingran and Mei Zi, forced a smile and said, "Qingqing, are you afraid?"

"When enemies come, we will fight them with soldiers; when water comes, we will block it with earth. Many things are unpredictable. There is nothing to be afraid of. Is Your Highness afraid?" Luo Qingran said to Xuanyuan Lei who was smiling ugly.

"Hehe, we've been into the mountains many times, and although this situation has never happened, we've never been afraid. But now we do feel a little scared." Xuanyuan Lei and Lei Feng supported each other, and he stretched out a hand to hold Luo Qingran's arm. After all, in his eyes, Song Qing and Mei Kexuan were just two children.

"Oh? What are you afraid of, Your Highness? Don't forget that you still have two loyal subordinates who are willing to protect you." Mei Zi didn't like Xuanyuan Lei and spoke in a harsh manner.

"Hmph, I'm just afraid that you'll die here and Qingqing will be sad!" Xuanyuan Lei answered proudly, without even looking at Mei Kexuan, but just pretending to observe the changes around him.

"Okay, can you two stop bickering?"

At this time, the ghost vine said to Luo Qingran in his sea of ​​consciousness: "Master, I always feel that this power comes from a strange place. I will go and take a look first. You must be careful."

"Okay, you also need to be careful. If there is any danger, call me and I will use the power of the contract to take you back to the space." As soon as the words fell, Luo Qingran saw the ghost vine that had been wrapped around his wrist quickly sink into the ground.

Luo Qingran also felt that it would be better to look around and see the situation rather than just sit here and wait for death, so he agreed with Gui Teng's suggestion. After all, Gui Teng had lived for ten thousand years and had great knowledge and adaptability.

Moreover, she had a very bad feeling at this moment, but she couldn't remember what it was.

Just when everyone was puzzled, the voice of the ghost vine suddenly came from Luo Qingran's sea of ​​consciousness. The voice was not loud, which showed that the ghost vine was already far away from them.

"Master, this power does not come from underground, but from deep in the mountains. Be careful, there should be a group of magical beasts escaping soon. I will rush back as soon as possible."

Just as Gui Teng finished speaking, they saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, and the screams of various animals rushing towards them.

"Retreat quickly, a tide of monsters is coming. It seems that the problem is inside the mountains." Xuanyuan Lei immediately grabbed Luo Qingran's hand and ran towards the outskirts of the mountains. Lei Feng also grabbed Mei Zi's arm and ran.

Lei Feng's face looked very bad at this time. He was worried about Lei Yu who had entered to investigate. Thinking back to the scale of the monster tide he had just seen, he was afraid that Lei Yu would be in danger this time. He pursed his lips tightly, his face showing pain, but he knew that he could not go back to look for Lei Yu now, because his mission was to protect the safety of his master.

Lei Feng looked up in the direction of Shoushan City, his expression was uglier than ever before, and said, "Master, I'm afraid we can't enter the city now."

A layer of flashing defensive barrier was seen covering the sky above Shoushan City, which meant that they could only fight against the group of monsters behind them.

What Lei Feng couldn't understand was that the guards on duty at the north gate knew that the eldest prince had entered the mountains this morning, but they were unwilling to wait any longer. This situation was very abnormal. After all, the eldest prince and they had been defending Shoushan City for several years. Even if there was no true friendship, there should be comradeship in fighting together through life and death.

This means that the guards must have received an order from their superiors that they could not resist, which is why they activated the barrier when the ground shook.

These people were abandoned by the Shoushan City guards.

The ground beneath my feet was shaking more violently as the group of monsters approached. Now when I looked back, I could see that the large group of monsters no longer looked like the monsters they once were. Their eyes were filled with a strange red color. Even though I was still far away, I could already feel the crazy oppression brought by those monsters.

It seems that the evil spirit not only affects the minds of the monsters, making them violent and irrational, but even their appearance will change as the evil spirit accumulates more and more in their bodies.

In the eyes of Luo Qingran and Mei Zi, the demonic energy was something that could cause organisms to mutate. They just didn't know what else the demonic energy could affect besides animals?

Seeing this, Xuanyuan Lei began to get anxious. He could already foresee what kind of tragedy was about to happen. They now had no way to retreat.

"Lei Feng, take Song Qing and Mei Kexuan and run eastward as fast as you can to see if you can escape this beast tide. I will cover your back."

Xuanyuan Lei stared at the monster that was about to charge over and gave orders to Lei Feng beside him.

"Master, I can't leave you. This is my duty. Moreover, I have to wait here for Lei Yu's return." At this time, Lei Feng's voice was already mixed with a slight tremor.

After he finished speaking, Xuanyuan Lei couldn't help feeling bitter in his heart. He, Lei Feng and Lei Yu grew up together. No matter whether they were in the imperial capital or in this Shoushan City, they had always fought side by side no matter what kind of danger.

However, this time, everything was strange, and many things were hard to figure out for a while. He didn't believe that the city guards would really dare to stop him outside the city. If he died in the mouth of the beast, he believed that all the city guards in Shoushan City would be punished by his father.

Is all this a conspiracy? If so, it will be a disaster for the entire Qianming Continent.

Could it really be that person? How dare he...

If he really died here, what would happen to the little girl he loved so much? The result is imaginable. Just thinking about it makes me feel extremely heartbroken.

Although the time they had just spent together was short, at least she no longer objected to his following her. He thought things were developing in the direction he hoped.

This world is really unpredictable!

But if it was really as he thought, then wouldn’t he have implicated Song Qing?

He didn't dare to believe it, nor did he want to believe it. He didn't even have the courage to look Song Qing in the eye.

But there were still some things that needed to be said, so Xuanyuan Lei turned to face Luo Qingran, put his hands on her shoulders, and said, "Song Qing, you and Mei Kexuan should run eastward immediately. There is a very wide river over there. If you can find a way to go downstream, you may be able to escape. Hurry, run now!"

Luo Qingran shook his head and said in a very serious tone: "I'm afraid it's too late. Let's fight first! Meizi, you stand behind me, Lao He, you follow Meizi and protect her."

"Xuanyuan Lei, thank you. If we can get through this, we will be good friends!" Luo Qingran gave Xuanyuan Lei a big smile.
