Chapter 262 - 22: Extraordinary Fire Fox! New Module! Hero Enhancement
As for the other Divine Chosen Team,
Qin Feng, who had previously been worried about a potential defeat in his southern campaign, had transferred them all to the main battlefield in the Northern Territory of the Gulad Empire.
The Undead Soldiers that Arthas had later summoned through killing had also been completely wiped out during this period of high-intensity combat.
After all,
they were only cannon fodder to begin with.
And the Void Creatures in the Death Zone were all powerful creatures that spawned randomly.
Without Qin Feng personally commanding them while disguised as Arthas, and without the constant reinforcements of skeleton brothers created by the Book of the Dead and Nagash’s Gaze skills, these Undead Creatures were finite. For every one that died, there was one less, making it impossible to build up their numbers.
"You’ve worked hard,"
"Valkyrie."
Walking up to Valkyrie, Qin Feng gently stroked her massive bear head, his tone tinged with apology.
Previously, to continuously gain Bloodthirsty Layers, he had made Valkyrie work overtime day and night, hunting weak Void Creatures throughout this cold, evil-tainted region.
However,
even with all the overtime, at least she had Arthas (Qin Feng), who was also working overtime, to keep her company.
They could talk from time to time.
And play little games of fetch-the-stick, a favorite of all wild animals.
So it wasn’t too boring.
But when Qin Feng had needed to take the Great Wall with minimal losses,
he had suddenly conscripted Arthas.
Valkyrie was then left all alone in this godforsaken shithole, a solitary working bear.
There was no one to grind monsters and level up with her.
Nor was there a warm environment where she could rest properly.
She also had to constantly deal with Void Creatures "spawning" right in her face.
So,
Qin Feng figured,
if it weren’t for the 100% Loyalty from the Riding and Cutting system keeping her in line,
Valkyrie would have long since fled this boring dump.
However, his guess was completely wrong. At this moment, not only was there not the slightest trace of fatigue on Valkyrie’s face, but she was positively glowing, as if immersed in something extremely pleasant.
"GROWL (Not hard at all!)"
"GROWL GROWL (My babies are about to be born! At first, I was worried their fragile bodies wouldn’t be able to adapt to this dangerous world!)"
"GROWL GROWL GROWL (But the Divine Power you gave me, my Lord! It granted me unparalleled strength! It also lets me get stronger every day by fighting these dangerous Void Creatures! Even the Life Force of the babies in my belly is growing stronger!)"
"GROWL (Now I don’t have to worry about them dying at birth!)"
Qin Feng: "..."
’What?’
’Manifested Life Force?’
’Growing stronger?’
’So the bear cubs still in her belly can also get the Life Value Bonus from the Bloodthirsty Talent?’
’Badass!’
’No wonder Valkyrie is so happy "working" here alone every day!’
’After all, it’s like getting a minimum of 100,000 in overtime pay from your boss every day!’
’The more you work, the more you earn, in the truest sense!’
’How could she not be happy?’
With that thought, Qin Feng replied in a gentle voice:
"Alright."
"As long as you’re okay with it."
"If you ever start to feel uncomfortable here, just tell me, and I’ll take you back."
"Our current Bloodthirsty Layers are high enough."
"We don’t need to be in such a hurry to keep stacking more Bloodthirsty Layers."
Hearing this, Valkyrie immediately shook her head and let out a low growl:
"GROWL (No need! I want to keep grinding! This way, my bear cubs will have a head start in life! I won’t have to worry about attacks from powerful enemies anymore!)"
Qin Feng nodded:
"Fine."
"Then you keep grinding."
"I have to go to the center of the Death Zone and kill a few Void Bosses."
"You don’t have to come with me."
With that, he rode the Desert Demon Wolf he had brought with him and headed straight north. Valkyrie was very obedient and didn’t leave the Gate of War with Qin Feng. Instead, she remained where she was, focused on hunting the low-level Void Creatures that wouldn’t target the Gate of War.
Afterward, Qin Feng continued on his way. He encountered a low-level Void Boss along the path, and without wasting any words, he immediately opened with his Legendary Level Archery Skill, sending it to the afterlife at the speed of light.
[You have killed a hostile Heroic Creature. Influenced by the "Hero Enhancement" Talent, you have obtained the enemy’s Boss Talent "Strong Body"!]
’Holy crap!’
’Badass!’
’It really works!’
As he marveled, Qin Feng suddenly realized that ever since the Evil God Players and Void Creatures had faded from the public eye, he hadn’t said that one word, "badass," in a long time.
He never thought he would say it three times in one go today.
Indeed.
The Riding and Cutting system was still the one to bring him pleasant surprises.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng immediately quickened his pace and continued north. Along the way, he specifically targeted Void Bosses that had Talents, not wasting any time clearing out the smaller Void mobs, so as not to delay his journey.
After a full day of searching and killing,
his character panel transformed once again.

[Level Suppression: When facing a creature with lower combat power, it will cause fear in the opponent’s heart and temporarily lower their Four-dimensional Attributes until they disengage from combat. The greater the power gap between the two sides, the more terrifying the attribute reduction effect of this Talent becomes.]
Strong Body.
A common Talent that every Boss creature has.
Increasing attribute points was useless to Qin Feng at his current stage, but since it increased the overall efficiency of converting attribute points into ability values, it was equivalent to directly increasing his attack, defense, and life values.
So it wasn’t a useless Talent at all.
On the contrary, it was extremely rare and precious.
Great Mage.
Doubles his Magic Power.
Combined with the Necromancer skill "Kadang’s Secret Technique" and the "Hymn of Hope" mastered by the Sigmar Priest, Qin Feng no longer lacked the mana to cast spells.
Moving Shot.
This Talent was equivalent to the "mounted archery skill" that Qin Feng had been desperately searching for at the beginning.
He never expected that he wouldn’t manage to learn it himself, but instead got this high-end technique for free thanks to the Personal Talent of a deceased member of the Elf Kingdom.
He could pair it with his newly acquired Winged Dragon Beast and become a "Dragon Rider Shooter," giving his enemies a little Ranger-style shock.
Armor Enhancement.
A simple and unadorned equipment-based Talent.
But the Initial Lord Set Qin Feng was wearing didn’t provide any armor, so he couldn’t benefit from this Talent’s 20% bonus for now.
Finally.
Level Suppression.
Powerful and Invincible—not because of its specific effect, but because of the meaning it represented. An Emperor who could instill fear in his enemies was a truly powerful Emperor in every sense of the word.
