The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"A bunch of wolf cubs."

Liang Hongyun glanced at it, gave a disdainful snort, and continued eating.

Lu Yuan was somewhat worried and kept glancing over there. After a while, he suddenly noticed that below the hillside where the giant wolf had stood, the figures of giant wolves were moving around one after another.

Just as Liang Hongyun said, it was a group, not just one.

Lu Yuan looked at Liang Hongyun with some surprise. How did she know in advance?

"These wasteland wolves always appear in packs, and it's rare to see one alone. Especially that one, which looks like the alpha wolf, is definitely leading a pack."

Liang Hongyun handed the bread spread with butter to Lu Yuan, saying it casually.

"Don't worry, these wolf cubs are very timid. They usually feed on carcasses, so they won't dare to attack us. Even if they are blind, our firearms alone can handle them."

"Um."

Lu Yuan nodded, relieved.

It was my first time leaving the city, and while I was curious about everything, I was also inevitably nervous and apprehensive.

Fortunately, Liang Hongyun was there. Liang Hongyun was not only powerful but also experienced. While protecting Lu Yuan, she could also teach him a lot of practical knowledge.

Just as Liang Hongyun had said, the pack of corpse wolves left after lingering for a while, not daring to attack or even get close.

Clearly, they also know a lot about humans, knowing who they can attack and who they shouldn't mess with.

"Let's go!"

Lu Yuan and the others finished their meal, and with a shout from Liang Hongyun, everyone got into the car and continued their journey towards Black Pine Mountain.

With less than 100 kilometers to go, or half an hour to go, the convoy arrived at the front of a small hill.

The mountain wasn't particularly high or large, and as expected, it was covered with many pine trees. The only difference was that the branches of these pine trees were severely twisted, giving them an eerie appearance.

Moreover, it's not that the pine trees are black, but rather that the soil of the entire mountain is black, like oil, making the whole mountain look dark.

"We'll wait in the car."

After the SUV stopped, Liang Hongyun said something to Lu Yuan, without rushing to get out of the car.

The cars behind also stopped, and several people got out, launching several drones and a few robot dogs into Black Pine Mountain.

The group operated the machine to explore while carefully observing the screen.

"so……"

Lu Yuan saw this in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but nod again.

Drones conduct aerial searches, while robotic dogs assist on the ground, exploring caves, tree hollows, and the like.

Compared to searching bit by bit in the mountains, using drones and robotic dogs to search is indeed much more convenient and faster.

"Found it!"

About half an hour later, an excited shout rang out.

Hongjie's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Good luck."

Then I got out of the car and went to the front of the machine screen.

Lu Yuan followed closely behind, and on the screen, he saw an armored bear roaming in the mountains and forests.

Compared to the Armored Bear simulated in the final test of the training camp, this one is significantly larger, with a more lustrous and translucent coat. In particular, its armor is not only thicker but also has subtle flowing patterns.

That's right, this is a Lord-level Armored Berserker Bear!

"It looks like it's only four-star quality. You wait here, I'll go take care of it!"

Liang Hongyun smiled again, said something to Lu Yuan, and then headed into the mountains.

"I'll be with you."

Lu Yuan did not stay where he was instructed, but followed closely behind.

"...Alright."

Liang Hongyun hesitated slightly, then nodded.

The Black Pine Forest is relatively close to the city, and according to the basic principle that the deeper you go into the wilderness, the stronger the monsters become, the monsters inside are not very strong.

The armored bear they were about to deal with was basically at the pinnacle.

This armored bear was only around a four-star warrior, not a problem for Liang Hongyun. Lu Yuan, being with her, should be safe.

In contrast, this is the wilderness outside the city, where unexpected situations could occur at any time, and the fact that Lu Yuan is not by her side is the most dangerous thing.

After making the decision, the two did not hesitate and immediately went into the mountains.

The others stayed down the mountain. Besides guarding the vehicles and supplies, their most important task was to monitor and investigate the surrounding situation while tracking the armored bear, thus providing early warnings for Liang Hongyun and Lu Yuan.

"interesting."

In the mountains, Lu Yuan followed closely behind Liang Hongyun, who was moving quickly. He watched as she communicated with her assistant down the mountain via radio to determine the direction of travel, and couldn't help but smile.

He originally thought that hunting monsters outside the city was simply a matter of using his fists and legs to fight any monsters he encountered.

Now that I'm working with Liang Hongyun, I know what professionalism really means!

For him, a complete novice, everything was new and exciting; calling it "interesting" would be a fitting description.

"Captain, there is a saber-toothed leopard 200 meters ahead. It is also at the lord level. Should we go around it?"

Just as I was pondering this, a voice came through the radio from down the mountain.

Liang Hongyun didn't stop walking and asked a question directly.

"How long will it take to bypass it?"

"At your current pace, Captain, we'll be wasting an extra half hour."

"I don't have time for that!"

Liang Hongyun's face darkened, and instead of stopping, she sped up.

Two hundred meters, and you'll be there in the blink of an eye.

There was a crooked old pine tree, nearly two meters long, with a leopard bearing two sharp fangs, lying on it resting.

Upon seeing Liang Hongyun suddenly appear, the saber-toothed leopard, which had been languid just moments before, instantly sprang up from the tree.

At that moment, Liang Hongyun rushed up and, without hesitation, threw a punch.

……

In about ten minutes, amidst the chaos, the saber-toothed leopard's carcass lay there.

Although he had also reached the Lord level, he had only recently broken through and was only at the level of a one-star general, while Liang Hongyun was a seven-star general!

Lu Yuan watched the whole thing and couldn't help but be secretly amazed; the difference between warriors was indeed so vast.

Looking at the almost shattered tree next to him and the large craters in the ground, Lu Yuan had his first direct understanding of Liang Hongyun's strength.

Although he knew that Liang Hongyun was a Seven-Star Warrior, she was usually like a little woman in front of him, so much so that Lu Yuan gradually overlooked her strength.

"Walk!"

Just as he was pondering this, Liang Hongyun called out and they continued on their way.

Lu Yuan didn't dare to delay and quickly followed.

As for the carcass of the saber-toothed leopard, the teammates down the mountain will use a drone to retrieve it.

Of course, there was a risk of being intercepted by other monsters during this process, but Liang Hongyun was in a hurry to get on her way, so she had no choice but to do this instead of personally sending the corpse back.

As for why she was in such a hurry, it was of course because of Lu Yuan.

Lu Yuan needs to return to the city by the end of the month, leaving only a few days. Searching for and hunting three Lord-level Armored Berserker Bears is indeed a very tight timeframe.

"This kid can actually keep up with the captain's speed."

Down the mountain, the team members operated the machine, watching the two figures moving rapidly forward on the screen, and couldn't help but smile and say something.

Liang Hongyun is a Seven-Star General. Although she deliberately slowed down, Lu Yuan was still able to keep up, which is quite remarkable for someone at the Opening Meridian Realm.

Sure enough, the man the captain had his eye on was more than just a pretty boy.

"Captain! The Armored Bear is 300 meters ahead of you!"

As they moved forward, the distance rapidly closed, and they were about to meet, so they quickly issued a warning.
