Chapter 315: Chapter 315: The Protection of the Valkyrie
Yun felt that she would never have such an opportunity again in her life, being able to follow someone like this might be her only chance.
The Innate Skill of perceiving the Spirit Base seemed very impressive.
But apart from being slightly useful in places like the Giant God Cemetery, it was virtually useless in normal times.
It could neither be used for combat, nor was there a Spirit Base for her to seek out ordinarily.
Places like the Giant God Cemetery were, after all, exceedingly rare and also extremely dangerous; Yun would not have come to Giant God Star, much less Giant God Mountain had she not been pushed into a corner with no other options.
Yun, who no longer had a home to return to, had decided to firmly seize this opportunity.
Watching Yun, who was loading items onto her mount's back, Lin Shen wore a complex expression.
Even though he had said that it was fine to just throw the junk away, Yun insisted on taking the things with her.
Lin Shen had no choice but to let her take out a cargo-carrying Pet from the seized Pet Guns, and load all the items onto it.
Yun insisted on addressing Lin Shen as her master, which Lin Shen found uncomfortable, so he asked her to call him Lin Shen.
In Lin Shen's memory, only the eldest sister was addressed as master in the Lin Family; the words "master" were exclusively for the eldest sister.
The Lin parents liked children and treated both sons and daughters equally, which is why they ranked their girls and boys together, resulting in the Lin Family having an eldest sister but no eldest brother.
Yun no longer called Lin Shen master, but did not completely follow his wishes by calling him Lin Shen; instead, she called him Mr. Lin Shen.
Lin Shen smiled and didn't correct her.
He then asked Yun about more of her circumstances, and this time Yun held nothing back, telling Lin Shen her detailed situation.
Like the Celestial Race, the Moon Rabbit Clan was generally born at the Crystal Base level.
But Yun was born at the Steel Level because she had half of the Spirit Treasure Clan's bloodline.
The Spirit Treasure Clan was a very small race, with a situation roughly similar to that of humans, having just stepped into the Cosmic Era a few hundred years ago and having developed to this day, they were even less advanced than humans.
Typically, babies born from the Spirit Treasure Clan were not even at the Steel Level, but Yun was born at the Steel Level, which was already considered as a special talent within the Spirit Treasure Clan.
However, the Spirit Treasure Clan had a particular talent, they had very special noses.
In fact, the Spirit Treasure Clan's ability to perceive smells was not particularly high. They were definitely stronger than humans, but compared to some species with particularly sensitive olfaction, they lagged far behind.
Their noses were special because they could smell scents that normal creatures could not.
As if naturally so, after advancing to the Steel Level, most members of the Spirit Treasure Clan could awaken an Innate Skill called "Spiritual Sense Smelling," allowing them to detect fluctuations from certain special items.
Yun was born at the Steel Level, but her talent was not "Spiritual Sense Smelling," it was "Spiritual Sense Perception," which, although differently named, had the same effect as Spiritual Sense Smelling but was even more acute.
Speaking of Yun, her situation is also quite tragic. Her parents vanished along with Moon Rabbit Star, and the Spirit Treasure Clan was nearly exterminated by a powerful clan due to the offense caused by their psychic sense of smell.
It can only be said that humans are lucky. So far, only teleporters that send people from the Human Mother Planet have been found, and no teleporters leading directly to the Human Mother Planet have been discovered on other planets.
Therefore, only humans who have been teleported from the Human Mother Planet can return there; others cannot travel to the Human Mother Planet.
Had it not been for this, humans might have encountered a fate similar to that of the Spirit Treasure Clan.
Yun is fortunate in another respect: despite the calamities that befell both the Moon Rabbit Clan and the Spirit Treasure Clan, somehow, she survived.
Yun is still at the Alloy Level, not because she doesn't want to ascend further, but because she needs to use a mutated Base Mutation Fluid to enhance her level, which is why her progression is slower.
She ascended to Alloy by using a mutated Alloy Egg, and unexpectedly awakened the Moon Rabbit Clan's innate skill "Valkyrie's Protection," which happens to be a mutated talent. Therefore, she can only continue ascending by using mutated Base Mutation Fluid.
After hearing about Valkyrie's Protection, Lin Shen couldn't help but feel surprised.
He had only heard Red Heart A mention the Moon Rabbit Clan before, but he didn't know much about them. It was only after Yun's explanation that he learned the Moon Rabbit Clan had a very small number of individuals born with this talent called "Valkyrie's Protection," which might be considered a racial trait.
Valkyrie's Protection sounds quite powerful, but regrettably, it is not a combat skill. Instead, it is a talent that benefits others, akin to making wedding clothes for someone else.
Valkyrie's Protection is not for protecting oneself but allows another person to receive a protective aura.
With the enhancement of the protective aura, the possessor of Valkyrie's Protection can easily teach martial and spiritual skills to those under their protection.
In other words, this talent is only beneficial for others and offers no advantages to oneself.
Actually, it's not completely without benefit. Those with Valkyrie's Protection are exceedingly rare in the Moon Rabbit Clan; although the skill has no use to the individual, Moon Rabbit Clan members with this talent typically have strong learning abilities, such as photographic memory, and are generally exceptional in comprehension, learning any skill quickly.
After hearing all this, Lin Shen was secretly delighted: "No wonder Yun is doing so poorly—both of her skills lack any combat capability, and without any elders to care for her, surviving up to this point is incredibly lucky."
Lin Shen didn't care whether Yun had any combat capabilities; in fact, he valued her two abilities highly.
"Martial training is incredibly tedious and troublesome. In the future, if I want to learn any martial or spiritual skill, I'll have Yun learn it first. Once she has mastered it, she can use the protective aura to teach me.
This way, I can save a lot of time and learn those skills that I wouldn't be able to master on my own due to my innate talent and comprehension..." Lin pondered and planned to find a skill that he couldn't learn himself and have Yun try learning it first.
The Evolution Skill Yun practiced was the "Moon God Skill" of the Moon Rabbit Clan, also a very fine skill, no less superior than the secret Evolution Skills of the Celestial Race.
With Yun in tow, he continued searching for Spirit Bases in the valley. This time, no one dared to disturb them again.
The news of a fierce Mutator killing a Golden-Haired Ascender with a single punch had already spread in the Giant God Cemetery, and no one was foolish enough to trouble them anymore.
Unfortunately, even with no disturbances, their search for Spirit Bases didn't yield good results. The Giant God Clansfolk buried in the Giant God Cemetery were indeed of lesser significance. The initial discovery of that mutated Spirit Base was akin to winning the lottery—a stroke of sheer luck.
After searching for more than ten additional hours, they still couldn't find any other Spirit Bases.
Yun's nose was nearly cramped from the effort, yet she still did not give up on her quest to find Spirit Bases.
Her thinking was simple: She had to be useful to Lin Shen for him to keep protecting her and wanting her by his side.
