The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"It's noon, would you like to stop and eat something?"

Around 12 o'clock, Liu Fudi mentioned it over the radio.

"keep going!"

Dugu Feiying's indifferent voice came from the second car, and the car's speed did not decrease at all.

"whispering sound."

Liu Fudi gave a soft hum, though the sound was not loud, it was clearly heard by everyone in the cars.

Dugu Feiying didn't say anything more.

Even the arrogant Dugu Feiying knew that he couldn't argue with a woman.

Inside the truck, Lu Yuan munched on compressed biscuits, glancing at the navigation every now and then.

In reality, most driving in the wilderness involves setting a destination and then using autopilot. Unless there are special circumstances, the driver only needs to keep an eye on the vehicle.

According to the navigation, it normally takes five days to arrive.

They only had seven days in total, which was a bit of a tight schedule.

Parking should indeed be avoided unless absolutely necessary.

In reality, Liu Fudi couldn't possibly be unaware of this principle. The reason she said that was simply because she disliked Dugu Feiying and the others.

To put it bluntly, they're deliberately picking a fight.

Women and petty men are the most difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but glance at Zhu Qiaoqian in the passenger seat.

"Qiaoxiao Qianxi" is indeed a very beautiful name.

That's fairly accurate. Although we didn't see Zhu Qiaoqian smile, compared to the arrogant Dugu Feiying and the wooden-like Song Hui, she was relatively mild-mannered.

She has a pair of dimples on her cheeks; she must look quite pretty when she smiles.

"What are you looking at?"

Seeing Lu Yuan looking at her, Zhu Qiaoqian frowned and asked a question.

"Oh, it's nothing, you just have a little cookie crumb on your lips."

Lu Yuan, without batting an eye, casually made up a random statement.

Zhu Qiaoqian pulled a small mirror out of her pocket, looked at herself, and gave Lu Yuan a disdainful look.

"That's a lie."

"Ahem, you dropped it just now because you moved."

Lu Yuan coughed lightly, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Old-fashioned."

Zhu Qiaoqian put away the small mirror and let out another soft hum.

As the plot unfolds, she fumbles on her face for a while but can't find it. Lu Yuan pretends to reach out and help her remove it, so he can take the opportunity to grope her.

It was indeed a cliché, but Lu Yuan didn't really mean it that way; he was just making something up on the spot.

Although Zhu Qiaoqian was somewhat attractive, Lu Yuan had eaten fine food before and wasn't that desperate.

puff puff!

Just then, a burst of gunfire suddenly rang out from ahead.

It was car number one, but neither Liu Wuji nor Feng Qi spoke on the radio.

Immediately afterward, as the car behind drove by, a pool of blood could be seen in front, which belonged to a medium-sized monster.

We've already traveled some distance from the base city, and since we're in the north, without the protection of a garrison town and no wilderness areas, encountering monsters here is perfectly normal.

However, it's unusual that there's no communication within the monster caravan.

Lu Yuan frowned inwardly. This was no longer just a superficial harmony; the team was completely disorganized and each member was doing their own thing.

In this way, if we really encounter trouble, it will be difficult to rely on these so-called teammates.

Lu Yuan was in an especially awkward position.

Dugu Feiying and his two companions ignored him. On the other hand, as members of the Nandou team, they were actually a layer apart from Liu Wuji and his group.

"snort."

After a moment's hesitation, Lu Yuan let out a soft hum.

Being alone has its advantages; if things go wrong, he can simply slip away without having to worry about anyone else.

Zhu Qiaoqian glanced at Lu Yuan, but then looked away and continued to stare ahead.

The convoy continued to move forward, with gunshots coming from ahead from time to time. Occasionally, they encountered some rather troublesome monsters, and they could even see Feng Qi gathering aura on the roof of the vehicle.

Fortunately, they were not too far from the base city, and everyone was quite lucky, so they only encountered low-level monsters and none of them were lord-level.

It wasn't until 6 p.m., when it was already getting dark, that the convoy finally came to a slow stop.

It is a consensus that nights in the wilderness are more dangerous.

Even if the team is not of one mind, there is still no disagreement on this point.

Immediately afterwards, everyone gathered their vehicles together to form a makeshift campsite.

Next came the issue of night watch. Due to mutual distrust, it was impossible to completely entrust the task to the other party. Feng Qi was assigned to one side, while Song Hui was assigned to the other.

"Be careful over there."

After eating, before going to bed, Liu Wuji patted Feng Qi and pointed to the west.

Only a few miles away, a faint light could be seen; it was another group camping in the wilderness.

Moreover, they should be heading to Secret Realm D137, just like the others.

In other words, it's their competitors!

"Um."

Feng Qi nodded, his gaze serious.

In fact, most of the martial artists at the Opening Meridian Realm heading to the D137 Secret Realm departed from the North Gate around the same time. Given that they were all going to the same destination, although they tried their best to avoid each other, they inevitably ended up traveling together.

Sometimes, the distance between the two teams is less than a few hundred meters.

As competitors, they were both quite wary of each other.

If that's the case, why not avoid this time or change the city gate?

Some people do this, but it doesn't necessarily make it safer.

As the saying goes, "cattle and sheep roam in herds, while tigers and wolves roam alone." In this wilderness outside the city, these minor martial artists at the Qi Opening Realm are not much different from cattle and sheep.

When acting together, although they need to be wary of each other, if they encounter a major crisis, such as the rat swarm that Lu Yuan encountered before, they can look out for each other as fellow humans.

At least, in this wilderness teeming with monsters and fraught with danger, one can feel somewhat at ease.

Inside the truck, Lu Yuan sat in the driver's seat, glancing out the window before falling asleep.

Feng Qi and Song Hui were positioned at opposite ends of the camp, one on the left and one on the right, both facing west. Clearly, Song Hui was also aware of and wary of the small team to the west.

Although he didn't know Song Hui, Feng Qi, as the second-in-command of the Beidou team, should still be trustworthy. Lu Yuan sighed and closed his eyes.

With his mental strength, he could go without sleep for days and nights without any problems.

However, in order to cope with various emergencies, he needs to keep his body in optimal condition when conditions permit.

On the other side, in the passenger seat, Zhu Qiaoqian applied a face mask, then reclined the seat slightly before lying down.

Clearly, Zhu Qiaoqian was much more relaxed than Lu Yuan. It was unclear whether this was due to her naturally thick skin or her confidence in her own abilities and those of her teammates.

Awooo~!

In the dead of night, a wolf's howl suddenly rang out, and Lu Yuan abruptly opened his eyes.

Zhu Qiaoqian, who was next to her, had also sat up, showing good alertness.

The wolf howls were very close, indicating that there was likely a pack of wolves. Lu Yuan didn't dare to be careless and quickly got out of the car.

In the other cars, Liu Wuji, Dugu Feiying, and the others had also gotten out and walked towards Feng Qi and Song Hui respectively.

"What happened?"

"Damn it, I got tricked."

Feng Qi stood on the roof of the car and shone his flashlight on the ground about a hundred meters away, where there was a dark patch of something.

It was a sheep-like monster that had just been slaughtered.

"Was it thrown from the other side?"

"Who else could it be but them? Despicable!"

Feng Qi snorted disdainfully, but his eyes held a hint of wariness.

To be able to get so close despite his vigilance, the opponent's skills should not be underestimated.

"He does have some skill."

Lu Yuan glanced at the camp to the west, where the lights had been extinguished and the area was almost completely hidden in the night, and nodded slightly.

Even he didn't notice.
