The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

With a mental strength of 490, Lu Yuan's perception has become increasingly acute, in addition to his growing psychic power.

He not only realized that the employer was a woman, but also knew that she was actually a warrior-level expert!

However, she seems to have been injured, and her body is extremely weak now.

Otherwise, why would a general like her need to hire a group of cultivators at the Opening Meridian Realm to protect her on her journey to Dongzhen Guard City?

But if you're just traveling, it shouldn't be a problem.

"Can."

The employer gave a curt reply and then headed east.

After all, he was a master warrior. Even if he was unwell and unable to fight, his speed of traveling was no slower than Lu Yuan's.

Lu Yuan breathed a slight sigh of relief and then followed.

Although the car navigation system was gone, Lu Yuan still had a locator he carried with him, which could indicate the direction of Dongzhenwei City.

At their current speed, if all goes well, they should arrive in three or four hours.

After all, as a fortified city, East Zhen and the base city are not far apart.

However, how could the journey be smooth?

Although the three warriors did not catch up, there were still many demonic beasts along the way, and it seemed that there were more and more of them.

Swish!

With a flash of light, a wolf-like monster was slain.

Lu Yuan looked around at the corpses scattered on the ground, his expression grave. There were simply too many berserk monsters.

Fortunately, most of the monsters were still able to maintain their rationality, or rather, their survival instincts, and they simply kept fleeing.

Otherwise, with that number, Lu Yuan and his men would have been devoured long ago, leaving not even scraps.

"What exactly happened?"

Looking ahead, Lu Yuan couldn't help but frown again.

These monsters were clearly afraid of something, and they were fleeing from the east.

At first, Lu Yuan and his group thought it was the Dongzhenwei City garrison clearing out and driving them away, but later they found out that it was not; the threat must have come from deep in the wilderness.

It is highly likely that some powerful being in the wilderness suddenly acted strangely, causing these weak monsters to be frightened and flee frantically, eventually rushing into the outskirts of Dongzhen.

What kind of powerful and terrifying being is it?

This alarmed such a large group, and it should be noted that in addition to a large number of ordinary monsters, there were also lord-level monsters among them.

Could it be a king-level monster...?

The so-called King-level monster is a level above the Lord-level, and can be compared to a human Grandmaster!

It is said that there are only a little over a hundred Grandmasters in the entire Dragon Kingdom, including all seven major base cities.

Of course, this is the information released to the public. In reality, the country, various base cities, the military, and major martial arts groups all have hidden strengths.

Therefore, the true number of innate grandmasters must be far higher than this figure.

Even so, compared to the hundreds of millions of people in China, they are still a very small fraction at the very top of the pyramid.

In comparison, the rarity of King-level monsters is evident.

Logically speaking, king-level monsters should be deep in the wilderness or in some secret realms. How could they possibly come to the vicinity of the base city and go berserk?

If it were a king-level monster, it would have gone berserk and slaughtered nearby, causing this situation where all the beasts fled in terror.

"Never mind!"

Actually, Lu Yuan wasn't particularly curious about what had happened.

The key point is that the direction the monster fled from was the same direction they were heading.

After all, compared to the base city, Dongzhen City is located in the direction of the wilderness; otherwise, how could it serve as a barrier and protective barrier?

In this way, not only will the number of monsters likely increase, but Lu Yuan's biggest worry is whether he will encounter that so-called "King-level Monster"!

If they were to encounter each other, neither he nor this weakened warlord employer would be able to put up a fight!

Continuing forward is extremely dangerous.

However, Lu Yuan couldn't bring himself to give up the mission.

After all, the entire Nandou team has already sacrificed so much for this mission.

He was determined to bring his employer to Dongzhenwei City no matter what.

Encountering a king-level monster is a very rare occurrence, and as a professional martial artist, one must sometimes take risks.

Furthermore, the unrest has been going on for so long that both Dongzhen City and the base city must have already taken measures.

Even if there really is a king-level demon beast, we can just send out a master of innate level.

It is even quite possible that somewhere, a Grandmaster-level expert has already engaged in a great battle with a King-level monster.

In that case, as long as they don't get too close to avoid being affected, Lu Yuan and the others should be safe.

"Walk!"

With a thought flashing through his mind, Lu Yuan gave a low shout, sheathed his battle sword, and continued on his way with his employer.

As expected, they encountered more and more monsters, suffered more attacks, and their progress slowed down accordingly.

Fortunately, we can manage it for now.

Before we knew it, it was already sunset.

At this point, it was still two hours' journey to Dongzhenwei City.

Judging from this situation, it seems that these two hours will take two days to complete.

Fortunately, there are still about ten days left until the end of the season, which is enough time.

They kept traveling and fighting. Lu Yuan was doing well, but his employer was starting to struggle.

After all, she has physical limitations.

Lu Yuan decided to stop and rest for a while, eat something, and catch his breath.

Exhausted from running around, they even lost their car. Apart from some personal equipment, they didn't bring any other supplies, including food and water.

Fortunately, they had killed quite a few monsters, so they were not short of meat.

As for water, they came across a small puddle along the way. Lu Yuan used a canned food container he found on the ground to collect some water, which he then boiled and drank.

Actually, with a martial artist's physique, drinking this kind of raw water directly wouldn't be a big problem; the main concern was taking care of the employer's weak body.

"Almost done."

Beside the campfire, hearing the rumbling of his employer's stomach, Lu Yuan flipped over some roasted meat and said something.

Under normal circumstances, it is best not to light fires outside the city at night, lest you attract monsters.

But in the current situation, none of that matters anymore.

Roar~!

Before the meat was even cooked, a low growl sounded from not far away, and a bear-like monster with bloodshot eyes looked in their direction.

"I'll go take care of it."

Lu Yuan was already mentally prepared. He said something casually, picked up his sword, and walked over.

As a bear-like demon beast, it is strong and powerful, and its strength and vitality have reached the level of a human martial artist with eight meridians.

But for Lu Yuan, there was absolutely no pressure.

In less than a minute, he killed the monster and also brought back its two front paws.

"Um?"

When I got back, I found that half of the roast meat on the rack was gone.

The food wasn't even fully cooked before the employer couldn't resist eating it all himself.

Why are you in such a hurry?

However, I do remember to leave half for Lu Yuan.

"If you're still not full, have some more."

The rest were already eight or nine parts cooked, Lu Yuan said casually. Then he threw the two bear paws, their butts torn off, into the fire.

The employer did not respond and turned his back to Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan frowned slightly, wondering when he had offended his employer, as this woman seemed to have some reservations about him.

However, Lu Yuan was too lazy to think too much about it; he just needed to deliver the person whole to Dongzhenwei City.

"Um?"

Just as Lu Yuan was about to reach for the bear paw in the reactionary bonfire, his brows furrowed instantly.

He stood up and looked eastward, his hand already gripping the sword at his waist.

A moment later, as darkness fell over the wilderness, a gorilla-like monster walked over.

It stands over two meters tall with all four paws on the ground. Its thick forelimbs are like two pillars, and its two front paws are particularly large and gleam with a dark metallic luster.

Iron Fist Explodes Ape!

Moreover, judging from its size, it is clearly a lord-level monster!

"This is troublesome."

Lu Yuan frowned deeply. His intuition told him that this was a lord-level monster comparable to a mid-level warrior!
