Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me
Chapter 1157 - 1157 117 Disturbance in the Dense Forest

1157: Chapter 117: Disturbance in the Dense Forest 1157: Chapter 117: Disturbance in the Dense Forest “Lu Fu and your Commandery Princess didn’t set out themselves; they only sent a team to search for the Demon Beast, right?”

Lu Chuan looked towards Yan Kai and asked.

“That’s right, they are already on their way.

How do you plan to handle this?”

Lu Chuan looked towards Dongfang Cheng and said, “Let’s set out and see what the situation is.

If they successfully capture the Demon Beast, we’ll need to intervene.”

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “I see no problem with that.

Since that’s the case, let’s depart now to prevent those guys from succeeding.”

Lu Chuan then turned to Jyang Ran and said, “In that case, you three stay here, stay safe, don’t get into any trouble, we will be back soon.”

“No problem, rest assured, we will take good care of ourselves,” Jyang Ran said naturally, with her hands on her hips.

With that, Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng left the room.

Once downstairs, Yan Kai followed them and looked at Lu Chuan earnestly and suggested, “Otherwise, let’s just go straight to the Princess’ Mansion and just kill that bastard Lu Fu!”

“That direct approach would end the chaos at its root and rescue our Commandery Princess.”

Lu Chuan heard this but shook his head slightly, “That method is too blunt, and if successful, it would mean an immediate end to the battle.”

“But Lu Fu isn’t a fool; he knows I’ve come to Bei Wang County and will surely be prepared.

We can’t act rashly; it’s better to take things slowly.”

“If we rush into the Princess’ Mansion now, it will definitely alarm the snake.

Let’s take care of the Demon Beast first; as long as we can get what that bastard wants, we will have the upper hand.”

Hearing this, Yan Kai nodded slightly in agreement, “No problem, I think you’re making sense.

If that’s the case, let’s go find the Demon Beast first.

As long as we get what he wants, we will have the initiative!”

Lu Chuan mounted his horse, and the three set off towards the outskirts of the county.

“Yan Kai, won’t your absence from the ranks arouse suspicion?”

“No need to worry, I’ve already taken leave.

It’s not a big issue; they won’t miss one person.

Do you know how many people they’ve dispatched?”

Lu Chuan turned his head and asked, “A thousand or so?”

“At least five thousand; the number is massive.

They can search several hilltops at the same time, but the surroundings are mostly plains, so they can easily cover the area if they spread out.”

“That’s why we can’t afford to be slow; we must hurry to our destination before they find the target and get there first!”

Soon after, the three left the territory of Bei Wang County.

Upon reaching an open plain outside, Lu Chuan scanned the area and saw a marching troop in the distance.

“Indeed, they have a large number of people.

Sending so many out to search, it’s clear that Lu Fu can’t wait to get his hands on that thing,” Lu Chuan remarked.

“What puzzles me is, since they’ve all come out, why do they still maintain a group instead of splitting up?” Lu Chuan turned to Yan Kai and asked, “If they were searching for something, they should be splitting up, not gathering together.”

“You’re right about that, but as to why…

I also don’t know.

Let’s just follow and continue to observe.”

Powerless, Lu Chuan could only continue to follow them from afar.

Moving forward, the distant troop reached the depths of a dense forest.

Inside the forest, their march slowed, and Lu Chuan’s group also dismounted the horses, stealthily following behind.

Lu Chuan saw from afar that they stopped in front of a cave and halted.

“Wait here; I’m going to scout ahead,” Lu Chuan said.

“By yourself?

That’s too risky; let’s go together!”

“No, I mean I’m going to release my Divine Soul to scout their situation.”

Upon hearing this, Yan Kai was taken aback in confusion.

“Divine Soul out of the body?

You have that ability?”

“Of course.”

“These people are fairly weak; they probably won’t sense me.”

Lu Chuan sat down with his legs crossed, closed his eyes, and entered a meditative state.

Gradually, his soul body appeared, separating from the physical body, and floated in mid-air.

Then, Lu Chuan flew towards the front.

Passing through layers of trees, Lu Chuan arrived at the center of the troop and saw the leading General.

He drew his machete, pointing towards the front cave.

“All men, on the Commandery Princess’s orders, slay the Demon Beast!

The Demon Beast is right before our eyes; we must fight to the death to protect the safety of Bei Wang County!”

It was then that Lu Chuan noticed that the General had an additional Compass in his hand.

It seemed that this guy had relied on the Compass to get here.

He briskly walked towards the cave and took out an elixir pill from his chest, then threw it into the cave.

Boom!

Suddenly, a gust of wind roared out, carrying a stench that covered everyone.

Its disgusting odor caused many to vomit.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

A huge figure slowly emerged from the cave.

Upon seeing it, the leading general nervously swallowed his saliva; his legs trembled but didn’t falter, and he stood resolutely in place.

Gradually, an enormous tiger emerged.

Its body was massive, like the size of a hippopotamus, and the presence of thousands of people now seemed utterly terrified.

They had no confidence in defeating this ferocious creature.

“Such a huge tiger!”

“We weren’t told this before setting off.

Wasn’t it just a normal Mountain Lord Tiger?

About the size of a cow but difficult to deal with due to its aggressive nature.”

“This size is too huge; we’re nothing but ants to it!”

“General, are we still going to fight?

Can we win?”

The General in the lead was even more at a loss, uncertain whether to flee or confront the enemy.

Upon seeing this, Lu Chuan couldn’t help but shake his head, “It seems they’ve been deceived.

I doubt they’ll be a match.”

“That bastard Lu Fu disregards these people’s lives, sending them to their deaths.”

“This vicious tiger would probably only be killed by a Martial Saint Mirror level powerhouse.

How could such a small county have such a warrior?”

Roar!!!

The golden-haired tiger let out a furious roar, one that shook the mountains and scattered all birds and beasts.

“Charge!!!

To protect our homeland, we must slay this bastard, even at the cost of our lives!”

The General suddenly roared as if to boost his own courage and charged forward.

However, the Golden Tiger pounced, opened its maw wide, and bit the General cleanly in half!

“Argh!!!”

The Golden Tiger swallowed him whole as effortlessly as it would swallow air, and seeing this, the remaining people stood dumbstruck, their morale shattered with the death of their leader.
