Honkai, why do you only play high-end games?

The Snow Lotus Team's base was still bustling after Anna and the others left, or perhaps it was because Anna and the others left that it became bustling.

"Captain, the deputy captain..."

Jier was distributing the cakes that Anna had just baked that morning. A Valkyrie said hesitantly,

"Isn't it a bad thing for us to be like this?"

In recent days, because of Yuno's arrival, Anna felt that she had less communication with the team members, so she baked some snacks of different flavors every morning as an apology to her companions.

In fact, no one blamed her, and they even felt a little apologetic.

"You know it's not good, right?"

Jie Er was happy and stuffed a piece of dessert into her mouth, causing the Valkyrie team member's face to turn red. She said unhappily,

"If you weren't all so frightened by the sight of that friend from headquarters, would Anna have to carry her around everywhere by herself every day? Don't you think it would be more lively if all of us were together?"

"Why are your legs shaking?"

The team member finally managed to scrape out half of the cake and swallowed the other half with difficulty.

"I know, it's our fault... Will the deputy captain feel that we are isolating her?"

The Valkyrie team members felt a little uneasy.

"How could that be? We've been together for so long, and you still don't know what kind of person Vice Captain Anna is?"

Jie Er smiled and comforted his teammates.

"Miss Yuno, isn't it a good thing to have a powerful companion?"

"We know that, but... it's really scary!"

The team member was almost crying.

As a Valkyrie of the elite team, she could be considered a veteran and had seen a lot of the world; but she still felt that Yuno's aura was dangerous and terrifying, a feeling stronger than any Honkai beast she had ever seen.

Eating and sleeping with such a scary creature is really a huge challenge to one's nerves.

You must be kidding, this is a Valkyrie?

Jier smiled helplessly, she actually had the same feeling.

She had no choice. She knew by instinct that she was no match for Yuno.

"Perhaps only Lord Yulandel can control her?"

Jier thought to himself,

"And Anna is such a naive fool..."

the other side.

"Hello!"

Anna couldn't help sneezing, dropped the oar with one hand, rubbed her nose and muttered,

"Strange... a cold? That shouldn't be the case. This is the tropics."

"Caught a cold? We were in the river after all."

Yuno also held a paddle in her arms. She reached out and pulled Anna's slightly wet clothes as evidence of her words.

"Nonsense, I'm a Valkyrie! How could I catch a cold so easily?"

Anna couldn't stand it anymore and started yelling.

"Keep your voice down..."

Yuno originally wanted to remind Anna not to be so ostentatious, but after looking around, she found that there was no boat around this section of the river and only hers was tossing up and down in the rapids.

This is a mountain canyon nearly 100 kilometers away from downtown Manila. A river with considerable water volume flows down from the top of the mountain, forming a fast or slow water flow among the canyon rocks with dense bends.

Logically speaking, the rafting experience here would be extremely exciting and would make any tourist scream for it;

But they are Valkyries, and for them...

That's it.

Even a little boring...

"Wow... If I had known that so-called 'rafting' would be so boring, I wouldn't have brought you here..."

Anna said a little frustrated.

“…It’s okay. I’m very happy.”

As Yuno spoke, she paddled the boat twice in the turbulent water, which did not do anything. She just wanted to comfort Anna in this way. She also calmly lowered her head to avoid a branch that was sticking out of the water.

"Woo..."

Anna was still very depressed.

She had searched online for the most fun activities, and rafting was near the top of the list. She arrived excitedly, only to be completely disappointed.

"Yuno, the Undying Blade hasn't urged you to go back recently, right?"

Bored, Anna started chatting.

"No."

Yuno shook her head, her words succinct.

"Oh……"

Anna was racking her brains over where to take her next. From a tourist's perspective, she felt that there wasn't much worth seeing near Manila.

At the same time, I was secretly complaining that the headquarters had been doing nothing and had simply left Yuno to our Xuelian team to take care of.

“Wow…Ahhh!!”

As they were talking, their boat was overtaken by another group of tourists. Seeing them soaking wet and shouting with excitement, Anna and Yuno, who were also soaking wet but looked frustrated, couldn't help but look at each other and laughed out loud.

“It looks like it’s quite fun!”

Yuno nodded in agreement.

"How come they are so much faster than us?"

Yuno shook her head, not knowing.

"How about we catch up?"

Yuno nodded in agreement.

So, the two oars began to paddle desperately but in vain. A moment later, the group of tourists who had just passed them had turned another corner and disappeared from sight. Even their excited shouts could no longer be heard.

"Ahhhhh this game is too difficult!"

Anna slapped the water with her oars and shouted, saying that she had never suffered such injustice since she was a child!

Yuno nodded, agreeing very much.

So, talking and laughing, they continued to go with the flow, flying up and down.

"Two more bends and we should be at the finish line."

After the boat entered a gentle river again, Anna estimated the distance. The canyon was only about ten kilometers long, and it was almost the end. She excitedly asked Yuno for advice.

"Once we get to the destination, let's change into some comfortable, dry clothes, and then I'll take you to find some good food nearby. How about that?"

Yuno nodded. She never insisted on these issues.

At this moment, she suddenly felt some subtle changes in the originally comfortable mountain breeze. After all, Anna was a well-trained soldier and was quite sensitive to subtle changes in various environments.

Just as she was lamenting the ever-changing wind direction in the mountains, her eyes suddenly moved and she saw strange movements in the bushes by the river, as if there were some small animals hiding there.

"What could it be?"

Anna looked over there curiously.

Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared in the grass, and then a gust of air like a cannonball exploded and swept across, shaking the surrounding dense vegetation violently. The birds that were temporarily resting in it were startled and flew away, fluttering away in a panic.

"what happened?"

The change happened too quickly. Before Anna could react, the low bush seemed to explode, and out of it leaped a ferocious and enormous beast—a strange beast that was completely out of place in the low bush.

Its outline resembled a tiger, but it had purple-red claws, and its head, limbs, and chest were covered with white armor. Its scarlet eyes stared at Anna, and it pounced on her like a tiger pouncing on its prey.

"This is... Honkai Beast?!"

Anna was horrified and pushed Yuno away, who had her back to it.

"careful!"

Chapter 86: Accident!

"It seems like it has to be a weekday so that idle 'tourists' like me can have a better experience here..."

Lin Wei, dressed in mountaineering clothes like a backpacker, pushed the brim of his mountaineering hat on his head, looked up at the ridge covered with dense forests on both sides, half leaned on a protruding rock by the roadside to rest, and watched one fellow tourist after another pass by him and fall to the end of the group.

Lin Wei smiled nonchalantly, then put away an inconspicuous black feather between his fingers, gently pushed up the decorative glasses on his face, and followed.

After all, this is a famous scenic spot located dozens of kilometers south of the city in the Philippines, and there are usually many tourists; Lin Wei also deliberately "blended" himself into a tour group of moderate size, so that he would be less likely to be discovered.

Since Anna and the others were "playing in the water", Lin Wei chose to "hike in the mountains". In the name of enjoying the scenery, he could naturally overlook every move of the river valley and take in everything from a high vantage point.

The strange peaks stand steeply and tower into the clouds, with deep forests and dense vines in between. It is vast and boundless. Living among them, one feels like being in another world.

"The scenery is so beautiful, but it's a pity..."

Yaezakura sighed.

When I think about the beautiful scenery and people here, which will eventually turn into a nightmare, my tone is filled with regret and reluctance.

"Ying, do you really have to spoil the mood at this time?"

Lin Wei felt helpless about this.

As a shrine maiden from the Far East, "mono no aware" and the like are perfectly reasonable, and he doesn't dislike this kind of personality that often reveals true feelings.

However, if the sentiment becomes the truth, it will make people feel uncomfortable.

“There is no point in thinking about things that cannot be changed by human power. Rather than wasting energy in vain, it is better to see more while you can still see; and to do more while you can still do something.”

Yaezakura shook her head apologetically and stopped talking.

She was indeed just expressing her feelings for the moment. She had plenty of time to communicate with Lin Wei, and at this moment she didn't want to waste Lin Wei's energy and physical strength, which had already been consumed in the past few days.

High-intensity thinking, coupled with the frequent and continuous use of the Key of God, consumes quite a lot of energy.

There are so many people in Manila, and the ones he can meet are just a drop in the ocean. But since he has met and seen them, Lin Wei always has to try to help them.

Therefore, during this period of time, Lin Wei often lay on the sofa in the hotel when no one was around, watching the surveillance footage hijacked by the Corrosion Key on the screen, playing with the feather that he almost never let go of, and complaining to Yae Sakura, "It feels like I have two divine keys..."

In response, Yaezakura always responded with a gentle yet helpless smile.

Lin Wei looked down at the small boat drifting in the valley below the mountain. He felt that although he was on land, he seemed to be just a small boat drifting with the current, drifting with the wind and going with the flow.

Then he laughed at himself,

"Tsk, you're still talking about others, how good are you?"

Maybe that kind of meaningless persistence is just a way to move yourself?

After all, when people live in this world, they always have to find some meaning for their existence.

"Girl at the back, don't fall behind!"

The tour guide in front turned around and called out. Lin Wei came to his senses, withdrew his gaze from the valley, and waved to the tour guide. Just as he was about to follow, he was stopped by Yae Sakura's somewhat anxious voice.

"Lin Weijun, a dangerous aura has appeared!"

Before Lin Wei could ask carefully, he heard a terrified cry from the tour guide.

"What it is!?"

Lin Wei turned his head and looked in the direction of the river valley, following the guide's terrified gaze.

"This is... Honkaimon?"

Seeing the giant cat-shaped beast that seemed to appear out of nowhere, Lin Wei's expression changed.

"No, this shape is..."
