Chapter 137: Chapter 97: New Modules! Survival of the Fittest! More Wild Monsters

The Desert Giant Wolf King’s formidable combat power and its nature as a cavalry unit perfectly matched Qin Feng’s expectations for the optimal unit at this stage.

Therefore, even though promoting each Desert Giant Wolf cost 100 Gold Coins, he would still unhesitatingly invest the majority of his gold into strengthening the Wolf Pack.

Next up were the Mage units.

The upgraded version of the Awakened Fire Fox—the Flame Fox.

[Unit Name: Flame Fox]

[Life Value: 111/111]

[Mastered Skills: Fireball Technique (High Damage + Small-Area AOE + Ignite), Self-Destructive Fire (Suicide + Ultra-High Damage + Extra-Large-Area AOE + Ignite), Baptism of Fire (After death, the fox’s corpse will burn continuously in flames for 7 days and be reborn as a regular “Fire Fox”)]

[Assessment of Normal State Power: Zero-star (Blue)]

[Power Assessment under the influence of King of War: Zero-star (Purple)]

[Fast Acquisition Method: Promote an Awakened Fire Fox with sufficient Combat Experience for 50 Gold Coins.]

[Fast Promotion Conditions: Promote with sufficient Combat Experience for 250 Gold Coins.]

[Natural Acquisition Method: Unknown]

[Natural Promotion Method: Unknown]

[Description: Explosions are art! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!]

To be honest, Qin Feng had imagined countless skills for these Mages.

But he had never imagined that the new Magic these promoted Awakened Fire Foxes would master would be “self-destruction” and “rebirth”—and that after being reborn, they would revert to powerless, ordinary Fire Foxes.

’This…?’

’What the hell?’

’Did your Demon Beast ancestors go extinct because they all accidentally self-destructed, and no one was there to help resurrect them?’

’That would be too absurd, right?’

However, setting aside these two new Heaven-defying Skills, the increase in the Flame Fox’s combat power from this promotion was still quite significant.

With their Zero-star (Purple) combat strength, a Fireball Technique that could one-shot higher-level creatures with low Magic Resistance, and enough extra Magic Power for two more spell casts, they could now be considered passable Fire Mages.

Crucially, the cost to train the Fire Foxes was incredibly low.

For just 10 Gold Coins, a Fire Fox could be evolved into an Awakened Fire Fox.

Investing another 50 Gold Coins would advance an Awakened Fire Fox into a Flame Fox.

Nothing was cheaper.

So, if the Fire Foxes weren’t so slow, unable to perform the highly efficient rotational support and kiting tactics of the Desert Giant Wolves, Qin Feng would have been tempted to go all-in and spend all his gold on them.

’Noble Mage units.’

’They could fire five high-damage Fireballs in a row.’

’They even had decent close-combat abilities.’

’They could even handle fishing to gather Food for the territory.’

Although Qin Feng now had no shortage of food resources, during the initial development phase, the Awakened Fire Foxes and Flame Foxes had been top-tier, all-purpose Black Slave Soldiers that could be plugged in almost anywhere.

’It would be a crime not to develop them as a main force!’

’Fortunately.’

’It’s not a big deal.’

’The gold mine designated by the Seed of Fertility has already been planted.’

’Next, Long Zhongyi’s gold mining team, plus my own, will be enough to promote all of my Divine Chosen Soldiers to their highest tier.’

’Then, when next month arrives, my territory will generate a new gold mine, and so will Long Zhongyi’s.’

’I’ll be able to achieve total freedom with my Gold Coins…’

As he thought this, Qin Feng glanced at the Violent Bear Squad and the Steel Ant Squad on the “Village Guard Team” panel.

The bad news was that neither of these two Demon Beast units had met the conditions for promotion yet.

He figured it was because their inherent strength was already quite formidable, so the experience required for each promotion was also higher.

Plus, with their slower movement speed, they couldn’t compete with the Desert Giant Wolves and Forest Wolves at grinding mobs and kill-stealing, so they hadn’t managed to accumulate enough Experience during the “Void Tide” to get promoted.

However, there was also some good news.

The Sielo Knights had gone on an absolute rampage during the Void Tide.

Their average level had now reached around Level -3, and their base power had risen to the Zero-star (Red) tier.

Although they still couldn’t reach the One-star Extraordinary tier even with the “War Blessing” skill, they had become super soldiers capable of easily solo-killing “Gluttony’s Chosen” King Rado.

In fact, it was no exaggeration to describe them with the phrase: “A one-for-one trade against One-stars, and invincible below them.”

’Alright.’

’After going through a major battle, the Divine Chosen Army’s strength has actually increased.’

’I’m probably the only one who could pull this off, with my Riding and Cutting cheat.’

At this thought, Qin Feng reached out his right hand with considerable effort, took out the 697 Dragon Crystals from his backpack, and fused them directly into his “Recruit Prisoners” and “Middle-earth Warhammer” Talents, which were still at Level 2.

[You have upgraded the Hidden Talents “Recruit Prisoners” and “Middle-earth Warhammer”!]
