The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

On the last day of July, a convoy consisting of three off-road vehicles, one truck, and four large refrigerated trucks departed from the North Gate and slowly drove away from Chongming Base City.

"Gentlemen, we have left the base city. The sky is high and the sea is wide and the birds can fly freely."

Inside the No. 1 off-road vehicle, Lu Yuan smiled and said something over the walkie-talkie.

He was already used to leaving the city, but this time the feeling was different. Although it was a punishment, he felt an indescribable sense of ease and joy, as if a dragon had returned to the sea!

"receive."

"receive."

"The boss is right!"

"Keep an eye on the situation."

In response to the other vehicles, Lu Yuan stated that he only brought eight people with him when he left the city this time.

As punishment, the Starry Sky Club will not provide Lu Yuan with any support, but the Shen family will.

Shen Fuyue specially dispatched Xia Banzhu to assist Lu Yuan.

As for the other manpower and resources, they will be transported gradually after Lu Yuan and his team arrive at their destination and settle in.

Sun Baoyu and Liu Jingfeng, who were in the third off-road vehicle, had already left the Starry Sky Club because the club would not provide Lu Yuan with any support. Now they were just Lu Yuan's followers.

Lei Tieming, the driver of truck number four, had become Lu Yuan's follower after the gambling match at the birthday banquet. Like Sun and Liu, he had also left his original martial arts group to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Finally, there were four large refrigerated trucks, carrying the four assassins Lu Yuan had obtained from Shen Fengxing. As assassins, they didn't have names, only code names: A, B, C, and D—simple enough.

Squeak!

The passenger cabin beeped twice, as if responding to Lu Yuan.

Having absorbed the power of the kiwi fruit, Hollow has awakened from its slumber. Compared to before, it has grown larger, now about the size of a small dog. Other than that, there are few changes; its fur is still dark, but with a faint metallic sheen.

Lu Yuan seriously doubted that the so-called kiwi fruit was an exaggeration.

But it didn't matter anyway, since he never intended for Dongdong to be a battle beast.

Although Lu Yuan was full of ambition for this trip out of the city, it was still very dangerous, so he hadn't originally planned to bring Dongdong along. But unexpectedly, the little guy seemed to know that Lu Yuan would be gone for a long time, so he jumped into the car and refused to get off no matter what.

There was no other way but to take it with me.

Fortunately, the tunnel is very fast, so escaping should not be a problem under normal circumstances.

"The vast world offers boundless opportunities."

Reaching out to gently stroke the perforated, satin-like fur, Lu Yuan gazed ahead, a slight smile appearing on his lips, his eyes gradually deepening.

rattttt!

The peaceful journey was soon shattered by the sudden gunfire from Sun Baoyu and Liu Jingfeng in vehicle number three.

Although Lu Yuan was in the lead car and responsible for clearing the way, he was too lazy to deal with some small monsters. He kept the spatial detection on and notified Sun and Liu to deal with any ordinary monsters blocking the way.

Ordinary guns and cannons are enough to deal with these low-level monsters.

"Obstacles have been cleared; you may proceed with confidence."

The gunfire stopped, and Sun Baoyu's slick voice came through the walkie-talkie.

Immediately afterwards, the third off-road vehicle slowed down and rejoined the convoy after the first and second vehicles had passed.

"Seriously, the boss is amazing. He always detects something before the radar even goes off."

The two climbed back into the car from the roof, and Sun Baoyu couldn't help but say something.

Each vehicle is equipped with a radar system, which, in addition to positioning, has another important function: scanning the roadside to detect dangers in advance.

The maximum range can reach 100 kilometers, but because it is located in the wilderness, the accuracy is limited, and this is especially true the farther away from the base city.

Although you can spot monsters, by the time you can distinguish between a rock and a monster, you're already very close.

"Perhaps the boss has a higher-version device in his car than we do."

"Maybe."

Sun Baoyu nodded, unable to think of any other possibility.

As the convoy roared across the wilderness, the sun rose and set, and the day quickly passed.

The convoy stopped, and the vehicles formed a circle to set up camp.

The first day outside the city went smoothly without incident.

"At this rate, we should be able to reach our destination in about two weeks."

Sitting around the campfire, Xia Banzhu lit up his portable GPS device and said something.

Half a month is not a long time.

But it would take half a month just to get there, which shows how far the distance is.

As punishment, Lu Yuan was assigned to establish a base that was not only outside the Starry Sky Club's base cluster, but also extremely far out, making it arguably the outermost point at present.

This means that they will be like an isolated island, helpless and alone.

For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat somber.

This is true of everything; initial ambitions are gradually consumed and worn away by subsequent difficulties.

"Only when the sky is high can the emperor be far away. The farther away, the better. I wish it were farther away already."

Picking up a can of warmed meat, Lu Yuan speared a piece of fatty meat with his fork and stuffed it into his mouth.

"That's right!"

"The boss is right!"

Everyone looked at Lu Yuan, and suddenly felt relieved.

Pick up the heated food and enjoy it with relish. After a long day on the go, this is the only time to sit down and properly enjoy a meal.

Sun Baoyu also picked up a few pieces of monster meat, cut them into small pieces, and placed them on the campfire. Now they are sizzling and dripping with oil.

After a hearty meal, they went to sleep in the car and took turns keeping watch in pairs. Tonight, it was Lu Yuan and Xia Banzhu's turn. Lu Yuan would stay up for the first half of the night, and Xia Banzhu would stay up for the second half.

Sitting on the roof of the refrigerated truck, looking up at the starry sky and then at the dark wilderness in the distance, Lu Yuan let out a long breath.

Although he wasn't as worried as others, it was, after all, a completely new journey, full of unknowns and challenges. After the day's enthusiasm subsided, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little empty inside.

Roar~ Awoo~!

From the darkness in the distance, the roar of a beast resounded.

But it only called out a few times and then left without approaching the camp.

Wild beasts generally possess keen intuition, let alone demonic beasts. Lu Yuan and his group had a full seven warriors; not to mention ordinary demonic beasts, even lord-level beasts wouldn't dare to approach them easily.

The night passed peacefully, accompanied by the crackling of embers from the campfire.

The next morning, after a quick wash and a bite to eat, the convoy set off again.

Just like yesterday, it roared across the boundless wilderness, heading straight for the coordinates.

*Sizzle!*

Around 3 p.m., Lu Yuan suddenly stepped on the brakes.

"Stop for a moment, there's a big one."

As he spoke, Lu Yuan jumped out of the car.

The other vehicles stopped immediately. Since it was described as a large beast, it was at least a lord-level monster. Worried about Lu Yuan's safety, everyone got out of their vehicles without hesitation.

"This is……"

After walking a few hundred meters, we saw a golden eagle, much larger than an elephant, standing on a large black rock, idly preening its feathers.

Only when Lu Yuan and the others walked in did they raise their heads, their golden eagle eyes slightly contracting.

Swish~!

With the battle sword already in his hand, he casually swung it, leaving a mark in mid-air. The next moment, Lu Yuan suddenly leaped out, the blade pointing straight at the golden eagle.

A high-ranking lord, and one that can fly at that—that's a bit of a challenge.
