Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 713 - 629 Comet Dragon

At this moment, the sprawling forest mountain area stretching over thousands of kilometers finally revealed its edge.

The densely packed trees near the edge began to become sparse, and the ground gradually turned from uneven to smooth.

Meanwhile, the sky had completely entered darkness, with only a crescent moon and scattered stars adorning it.

The faint light from these celestial bodies extended a certain range of visibility into the pitch-black night.

The silence at the forest edge was suddenly shattered by a loud and piercing noise.

With the sound, a white conical flying vehicle slowly stopped in mid-air, then floated down from the sky.

This was the flying vehicle constructed by Kane.

After that, the hatch opened, and people gradually walked out from inside.

Adoma was the first to rush out of the hatch, then leaned against the base of a nearby tree and began to vomit.

The others who walked out afterward also appeared a little pale, their limbs seeming a bit weak.

Besides the members at the golden level of the Explorer crew, the rest were having some kind of reaction.

It seems this flight didn't sit well with them.

Kane, who was the last one to come out of the hatch, also had a pale face and weak limbs.

He was completely leaning against Kreya's horse's back.

This was the result of Kane expending too much magic power at once.

Seeing Kane's condition, Kreya shook her head helplessly: "Why do you have to race with that dragon?"

"He issued a challenge, how could I avoid it?" Kane said, clenching his fist.

Ever since encountering that silver metal dragon, they had been competing for speed, until Kane furiously accelerated and left it far behind, disappearing from view.

But the intense speed also caused a considerable drain on Kane's magic power.

Moreover, the guild's silver members didn't seem to fare much better, judging by their somewhat pale faces.

Especially Adoma, who was only at the copper level.

The strong pushback and impact from the speed left their bodies somewhat uncomfortable, the weaker ones felt it more intensely.

Then Adoma, having finished vomiting with a pale face, angrily walked over and punched Kane in the stomach.

"Ouch, that hurts," Kane said, clutching his stomach and pretending to be injured.

Looking at Kane like that? Adoma rolled his eyes in disbelief: "You liar, as if my punch could hurt you like that."

Kane showed his big teeth and chuckled dubiously.

At this moment, a swoosh sounded again, and everyone looked up to the sky as a blood-red figure quickly approached from above.

The creature that had been racing them was flying over.

Everyone immediately became alert, a variety of weapons appeared in their hands.

Although the creature had not attacked them previously, who knows now.

The figure swooped down at incredible speed, then crashed into the woodland nearby, knocking down a large swath of trees.

Its limbs stretched out claws toward the ground, carving a curved trench before stabilizing and coming to a stop.

Kane watched the scene, thinking that this was indeed a rather crude way to brake.

After stopping, the dragon-like creature walked over.

It was covered in matte metallic scales, with powerful hind legs but lacked the typical dragon-like front claws. Instead, its forelimbs were fused with unusual wings, somewhat resembling a bat's.

The wings were huge, sharply tapered, with two rows of holes in between, seemingly the jets of flames previously erupted from these hollow spots.

Instead of wings, they felt more like propulsion engines.

Nevertheless, this creature could definitely be considered quite handsome.

Then the giant dragon spoke.

"Are you explorers from the outside?"

Apparently, it was an intelligent creature, possessing at least human-equivalent wisdom, able to communicate.

And it was unclear how it figured out Kane and his team were explorers.

Upon hearing it speak, Kane nodded, having nothing to hide and said, "Yes, we are explorers from the outside."

Explorers entering the World Ring was widely known, and Mist had not kept them secret.

The dragon nodded, then extended its forelimb and pointed at the flying vehicle that Kane had yet to wave away.

"Did you build this thing? It's really fast, reminding me of the thrill of speeding."

"Haha, where, where, you flatter us, your speed is indeed very swift."

The person and the dragon exchanged compliments for a while.

"I am Israel, the Comet Dragon."

"Kane, a human explorer."

And thus, the person and the dragon were acquainted.

Kane roughly assessed the dragon's power as golden level, similar to Kreya's team.

Though threatening, it wasn't lethal.

Moreover, through secret communication with Lilulu, the present Comet Dragon hadn't shown any malice.

This allowed Kane to talk to it calmly without being overly alert or defensive.

Everyone quickly set up a camp around there, preparing to rest for the night and continue the journey tomorrow, as they had been on the road for nearly four consecutive days. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Now it was time for a proper night's rest; even explorers were still flesh and blood.

Of course, at Kane's invitation, the Comet Dragon joined them.

"Oh! This is such delicious food!" exclaimed the Comet Dragon upon biting into the roast beef Kane and the others had prepared for him.

Mind you, Kreya and Longbei collaborated on today's culinary showcase, and with these two masters, the food was bound to be good!

Seeing the Comet Dragon's reaction, Kane laughed heartily.

This creature was quite interesting.

Then it noticed the glasses Kane and the others were holding: "What are you drinking? Is it good?"

"If you want to know, why don't you try it yourself." With that, Kane used Origin Skills to create a large wine glass.

Then he took out a few wine barrels and poured about half a cup for him.

Curious, the Comet Dragon picked up the glass, ready to take a sip. But was immediately interrupted by Longbei nearby.

"Hey! You can't drink alone, let's drink together."

As he spoke, Longbei enlarged his size, matching the 11-meter height of the Comet Dragon.

The Comet Dragon was somewhat surprised at Longbei's sudden increase in size.

The wine glass in Longbei's hand also grew bigger along with his size.

Seeing this, Kane couldn't help but comment inwardly; this guy actually had Steel Armor make him a piece of equipment in the form of a wine glass.

Longbei's Origin Skills allow the equipment he carries to enlarge according to his size, truly impressive.

Why does this guy always have interesting ideas in peculiar areas?

Then Longbei also took out several wine barrels to fill his gigantic wine glass, finally raising it high.

"Cheers!"

Hearing this, Kane smiled and raised his glass.

"Cheers!"

The others immediately followed suit.

Watching the actions of the creatures in front of him, the Comet Dragon imitated them.

"Cheers!"

Then he guzzled the beer.

"This tastes weird."

Longbei patted the Comet Dragon: "Haha, it's supposed to be weird, you get the feel when you eat and drink together, come on, continue."

As he spoke, he took out another wine barrel from the Space Equipment to fill the Comet Dragon's glass, determined not to stop until they were both drunk.

Several new huge fire pits were added around, and more food was presented.

...

Early the next morning, Kane teleported out from the Guild Hall.

He had just organized some matters inside there.

This camp area had a huge wooden shed built by Kane using Origin Skills.

The wooden shed covered a large area and was transformed into reality by Kane; for Kane now, this amount of consumption was negligible.

After all, it's just normal wooden materials.

This wooden shed can effectively enhance everyone's resting comfort and can also shield against wind and rain.

Inside the wooden shed, male Explorers laid a carpet on the ground with no regard for appearance and just slept.

Female Explorers rested in the tents nearby.

Last night, they partied hard, and a faint scent of alcohol still lingered in the air.

However, Kane didn't stop them; although they seemed drunk, they had deliberately loosened the restrictions on their bodies.

If there was any danger, they could immediately sense it.

Most notably, there was a giant Silver creature curled up asleep beside them under the wooden shed.

Even more absurdly, Longbei, Kafka, and the Berserker Card were directly lying on the Comet Dragon asleep.

After last night's communication, Kane and them roughly understood the world information of this dragon.

The dragon was somewhat unlucky, not to mention Kane and his data.

About this dragon's dungeon, it once appeared in the Lion City, about six or seven hundred years ago.

This dungeon was quite famous. Although it was a Golden Dungeon, there was only one monster, and that was the Comet Dragon.

According to last night's exchange, they could roughly reconstruct his unlucky situation.

As the world shattered, he was the only intelligent being in that fragment, surrounded by all sorts of Beasts.

Moreover, reaching Golden Power purely through racial talent caused him to miss becoming the dungeon's will.

When the fragment was captured by the Mist, he was sealed by the dungeon's will until the dungeon was completed, and then he regained freedom.

He is very grateful to the Mist; during the time drifting with the World Fragment, he resisted loneliness by sleeping.

The Mist can totally be considered to have saved him.

So, he quite adheres to the rules set by the Mist, especially knowing Kane and others are Explorers, he refrained from attacking intentionally.

Though the truth of the information is uncertain, the substantial amount confirmed through records reveals that most of it is indeed true.

Also, Lilu was able to sense he had no malice, allowing normal interaction with him.

As Kane appeared, the others gradually woke up. After a simple meal, they brought out their respective vehicles.

Because after leaving this forest, although it wasn't a plain, at least vehicles could drive normally.

The Comet Dragon was also awake, sitting nearby watching the creatures busy themselves.

His slender tail swayed back and forth, contemplating something.

Watching him, Kane pondered and approached.

"Israel, would you like to travel with us for a while? We're heading to the border of this region."

Upon hearing Kane's suggestion, the Comet Dragon's eyes brightened, sitting up from the ground, and nodded at Kane below him: "Of course, traveling with friends sounds delightful."

Then, a new and extremely noticeable presence joined Kane's convoy.

The convoy moved along the ground, accompanied by a giant Silver creature in the sky.

In the sky, the Comet Dragon and Cotton Candy stared at each other with big curious eyes.

Cotton Candy then floated familiarly onto the Comet Dragon's back, landing atop.

"Fascinating creature, this world is truly too interesting."

The Comet Dragon remarked, looking at Cotton Candy.
