The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

"Finally, I've managed to get out. Any later, and the effects of the drug would have worn off."

Standing on the outer edge, Lu Yuan let out a long sigh and deliberately said something.

The effects of the medicine?

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.

"I knew it! How could a piece of trash like him have such strength? He used a drug!"

Lin Hao looked as if he had just realized something, and excitedly pointed at Lu Yuan and shouted.

Everyone realized what was happening and nodded in agreement.

Indeed, some drugs can allow a person to exert several times or even ten times their strength in a short period of time.

That makes sense.

The others also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, it was beyond their comprehension that a novice martial artist could be on par with an advanced martial artist. Where did this leave these so-called geniuses?

Immediately afterwards, everyone looked at Lu Yuan and couldn't help but sneer.

While the potion can temporarily enhance one's strength, it comes at a price; there's no such thing as a free lunch. And the stronger the potion, the greater the cost!

Judging from Lu Yuan's performance just now, one can imagine how potent this potion is. The price to pay is probably not just post-battle weakness.

Now that I failed to get the Meridian Opening Pill, and its effects are almost worn off, it's truly a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.

"It's about to collapse! I have to get out of here right now!"

Seeing that he had been fooled, Lu Yuan smiled inwardly.

Then he shouted again and plunged into the jungle, chasing after Sun Baoyu in the direction he had left.

What Lu Yuan held in his hand wasn't a Meridian Opening Pill. Although the equipment was quite valuable, the effects of the medicine hadn't worn off yet. Judging from his behavior just now, who would dare to mess with him?

Therefore, everyone stood still and did not chase after Lu Yuan.

"Where did you go...?"

Two or three hundred meters away, Lu Yuan suddenly stopped, looking around with a furrowed brow.

Although he asked Sun Baoyu to follow, time was of the essence, and he did not arrange a way to contact Sun Baoyu.

Moreover, the other person, having obtained the Meridian Opening Pill, will surely try to escape desperately, and Sun Baoyu may not be able to catch up, so how can he contact Lu Yuan?

"Let's look for it."

With no other option, Lu Yuan could only search around, hoping to find footprints or other traces of where Sun Baoyu and the others had been.

We can use these traces to track things down.

Unfortunately, Lu Yuan had not learned tracking, and the environment in the jungle was complex, making it difficult to make a judgment in a short time.

After searching for a few minutes, they found some fallen leaves that looked like they had been trampled or weeds that looked like they had been scraped, but they were scattered here and there, and it was impossible to tell which place was where Sun Baoyu and his group had passed by, or even whether it was their trace.

"I wish I had a dog."

Lu Yuan sighed, tossed the box aside, and put on the glove.

Holding one in your hand is a bit of a hassle.

The gloves fit Lu Yuan's palm instantly upon being put on, without any foreign body sensation.

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly; it was indeed equipment for martial artists.

"Dragon-Capturing Gloves..."

Lu Yuan glanced at the instruction manual and nodded slightly.

It's not an offensive item, nor is it defensive; it's more of a support item.

Its function is simple: it can generate a vortex-like suction force to pull things from a distance.

The strength of the suction is determined by the internal energy within the body.

"That's interesting."

Lu Yuan smiled and aimed at a rock a dozen meters away.

This glove is also very easy to use; simply channel your inner energy into your palm.

Pa~!

The next moment, a suction force enveloped the stone, which weighed more than ten kilograms, and it suddenly flew up and landed directly in Lu Yuan's palm.

"It's fun."

Lu Yuan smiled again and casually tossed the stone aside.

"Um?"

The next moment, Lu Yuan was taken aback when his gaze swept over the area.

On the big tree where the stone landed, there seemed to be a scratch.

I rushed over and saw that the scratches were indeed quite bad!

I don't know what kind of object scratched it, but it's very new, probably only a few minutes ago.

Could it be... Sun Baoyu!

Lu Yuan's eyes widened instantly. He hadn't had time to arrange a way to contact Sun Baoyu, so Sun Baoyu left marks along the way to make it easier for him to track her.

This is highly likely!

"Never mind!"

Whether it is true or not, Lu Yuan has no other choice but to take a gamble.

Without further delay, they immediately followed the direction indicated by the scratches.

Sun Baoyu was in a hurry when he left the scratch, so for now we'll assume it was left by him. It was just a random scratch, and there was no arrow pointing to it.

However, based on the depth, it is still possible to determine which side the boat is going from and which side it is going to, and thus determine the direction.

As Lu Yuan chased after them, he kept an eye on the trees along the way.

"Got it!"

Sure enough, after running forty or fifty meters, I saw another scratch.

Lu Yuan was overjoyed and continued to follow the scratches.

Next, scratches could be seen every few tens of meters, or even hundreds of meters.

Lu Yuan became increasingly certain that this was a mark left to him by Sun Baoyu.

They chased each other for over an hour and reached the edge of the jungle.

As a testing ground, it naturally has a defined area, surrounded by a huge barbed wire fence. Apart from helicopter drops, there are only fixed gates for entry and exit.

Of course, for martial artists, jumping over or forcibly destroying barbed wire is not a problem, but once they leave the area, it means they have to exit the test.

This barbed wire fence is not an obstacle, but a boundary marker!

"Over there!"

They had reached the edge, and just as Lu Yuan was getting anxious, he suddenly heard the sounds of fighting coming from the west.

His eyes lit up, and he rushed over.

After walking forty or fifty meters, as you round a large tree, you see two people fighting in the jungle.

It was Sun Baoyu and the person who snatched the small box.

"Holy crap! You're finally here!"

Upon seeing Lu Yuan appear, Sun Baoyu was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although both were Six Meridian Martial Artists, in a real fight, he was no match for Liu Jingfeng. This was not only due to the difference in their combat awareness, but also to the difference in their combat skills and equipment choices.

Sun Baoyu is a smooth talker, and his combat skills are mostly about mobility and self-preservation, with relatively few offensive combat skills, while Liu Jingfeng is the opposite.

Seeing that Sun Baoyu had come to help, Liu Jingfeng frowned instantly. Although he had the upper hand at the moment, everyone had opened six martial meridians, so the difference in strength couldn't be too great.

If someone helps Sun Baoyu, the outcome will be uncertain.

"snort."

But then, upon seeing Lu Yuan, the worry on Liu Jingfeng's face vanished instantly, replaced by a disdainful snort.

A newcomer.

"They're here!"

Lu Yuan didn't think much of it, and with a soft shout, he charged forward.

Explosive steps!

With a swift movement, he appeared in front of Liu Jingfeng and threw a punch.

"!!!"

Liu Jingfeng, who had been disdainful just moments before, was startled when he saw Lu Yuan suddenly appear before him. His eyes widened, and without thinking, he instinctively used his inner energy to protect himself.

Boom!

With a loud bang, the protective aura shattered, and Liu Jingfeng was sent flying.

"Hey, well done."

Sun Baoyu stood to the side with his arms crossed, watching Liu Jingfeng being knocked away, and clapped his hands with a smile.

Not only him, Liu Jingfeng was also knocked away by Lu Yuan, which made him feel better.

And it really felt so satisfying.
