Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 719 - 635 Massive Spoils of War

The sun fell from the sky.

The sky plunged into darkness, only the stars and the full moon still illuminated this world.

The entire sea was pitch-black, only the occasional reflection of moonlight on the surface could light up some tiny areas.

A cluster of lights was swiftly sailing across the sea.

Zooming in to take a closer look, it turned out to be a steel ship, and the light source was the illumination from the deck lamps.

After the daytime battle, they were already far away from that sea area, and they were now circling a larger loop towards the destination.

No more sea beasts attacked along the way, indicating that only that group of sea beasts was sent for the attack.

The surrounding environment had finally become safe.

At this time, Kane said to Kreya beside him, "Let's head to the Guild Hall first."

After speaking, Kane disappeared from the deck, and Kreya followed closely behind.

The reason why Kane dared to leave boldly was because this ship had already been transformed into reality by him using magic power.

After all, to sail for such a long time, this ship was made of ordinary materials, turning it into reality was not a burden for Kane.

So Kane turned the ship into reality without any psychological pressure, and didn't need to maintain it constantly.

The two entered the Guild Hall, which was now approaching midnight and was mostly empty.

Only Steel Armor and Burton were chatting at the bar, seemingly waiting for Kane and the others.

However, they could see Meizike in the shadows nearby, recording something.

Seeing Kane and the others enter, the two waved.

Kane walked over to the two and said, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

After speaking, he accepted the drink Burton handed over.

After a few conversations, everyone headed to Steel Armor's Forging Workshop.

Entering the main doorway, turning the corner into the innermost workspace, which was quite spacious.

Various forging equipment was placed around, yet there was a large open area in the center.

Several people waited on the side, while Kane walked to the middle of the open area.

He touched the Lamp Mark with his hand, a large array appeared, then he reached inside, a scent of blood and ocean wafted out.

Kane displayed a giant sea beast corpse.

It was a sea beast resembling an electric eel, with a body length of over 160 meters and an average width of three meters.

This sea beast's fatal wound was at its waist, pierced by a huge hole, presumably hit by Kane's 30-meter sniper launcher at the time.

The original strength of this sea beast was ordinary golden level, neither one of the three leaders nor a silver level sea beast, just right.

The reason for displaying it here was that several people needed to check which parts of the sea beast were good materials and their functions.

Kane, Steel Armor, Burton, Kreya, Meizike.

Everyone had rather high creative skills, correspondingly better at distinguishing useful materials.

Their strength had also reached golden level, wielding weapons to better dismantle these sea beast bodies and prevent unexpected occurrences.

So, it's these few who identified and analyzed the materials, extracting every ounce of value from the sea beasts.

"Alright, now let's see which parts of this sea beast are useful, these are invaluable," Kane said.

Beside them, an intelligent assistant shot out blue scanning rays, analyzing the sea beasts' body structure and internal conditions.

This helped them differentiate the components better, avoiding missing anything.

Everyone started inspecting the sea beast corpse, wielding various tools for dissection and analysis.

...

When morning came, in Steel Armor's Forging Workshop, besides Kane and the others, more people arrived.

The newcomers included Longbei, Funa, and Star Symbol, each had decent identification skills.

By afternoon, they finally finished dissecting all the sea beasts from yesterday.

No choice, there were too many sea beast corpses, and they were too large. Completely dissecting them took quite some time.

Most major parts of the sea beasts' bodies were primarily useful for being edible.

Except for one sea beast, due to mishandling its poison sac broke, poisoning the flesh, rendering it inedible.

All others provided Kane and the others with a large amount of quality magic ingredients.

Ultimately, they extracted hundreds of tons of magic ingredients, mostly meat, and all of silver and golden quality.

Of course, you can't expect this sea beast meat to be exceptionally delicious, but cooking it to have enhancing effects and reaching delicious levels is absolutely possible.

Secondly, there were various poison sacs, electric organs, elemental energy organs in the bodies.

These are all very high-quality materials, separated by Meizike, and among them, the blood of several sea beasts also has potion material effects.

These can provide considerable assistance to Meizike's potion crafting.

Afterward, the majority consisted of various bones, and the external armor and skin of sea beasts.

Many sea beasts have a biological shell on their outer body, and more have skin similar to that of fish or snakes.

These are all very good forging materials.

In summary, these sea beasts brought Kane and the others a substantial harvest.

The reason for such an exaggerated harvest is because these sea beasts are huge, even the smallest with a length of a hundred meters.

The longest one swam like a sea serpent, and it reached 200 meters, bringing out a huge poison sac.

All these materials were categorized and stored in the warehouse for future needs.

Then Kane returned to the ship and gathered all the members of each small team on board.

Looking at the guild members in front of her, and some with bandages and casts on their hands and legs.

Clearing her throat, Kane spoke.

"Firstly, thank you all for your valiant combat; during yesterday's battle, you demonstrated outstanding combat skills.

Now, it's the moment to earn the spoils of yesterday's battle."

After Kane finished speaking, the guild members below cheered a few times, as it was about dividing the spoils.

For the explorers, this is a delightful phase, and a chance for them to enhance their power.

Kane smiled: "Now I have two options here.

The first option is to forgo the materials on the sea beasts, but I will distribute corresponding contributions to you based on your performance and achievements.

The second option is to divide the materials we dismantled, and how to use these materials is entirely up to you."

"So, do you wish to obtain the spoils, or would you prefer to acquire contributions equivalent to some spoils?"

The result was unsurprising; nearly all members chose to convert the spoils, all the materials exchanged with the guild for contribution points.

For the silver explorers, these materials are not very useful; instead, they prefer to use the contribution points to exchange for the guild's silver equipment.

It should be known the guild has a lot of equipment—copper and silver, superb and ordinary ones—all tailored to most explorers' needs.

Of course, there were some guild members in need of materials who chose some materials and then converted the rest into points.

Like Funa and the others, since they were all chefs passionate about culinary skills, they traded for plenty of meat.

Then these members entered the guild hall, proceeding to Bonona's front desk for contribution point calculation.

Kane allowed Lamp to perform the calculation fairly; let alone the monitoring machines yesterday, capturing the battle scenes, there was no chance of unfairness.

Apart from the spoils dismantled from the sea beasts this time, the real highlight was the magic stones obtained by various members.

Outside dungeons, guild members who kill creatures also have a chance to absorb them into their transparent magic stones.

This probability is equal to the chance of extracting the magic materials, no difference; it mainly depends on luck.

Previously, when entering the World Ring, Kane and the others had already experimented with this.

And each guild member had exchanged a handful of blank magic stones, as these things are not valuable.

Moreover, when the World Ring first opened, during the territorial battles, Bonona and the others had verified that this method is feasible.

The biggest harvest this time remained with Kane's group, who eliminated a total of 8 golden-level sea beasts, obtaining 4 golden magic stones.

Among them, Kane and Kreya each took down one of the leaders; such leaders directly filled one golden magic stone.

As for the remaining normal golden-level beasts, three needed to be killed to fill one magic stone, mainly because these beasts did not quite resemble bona fide golden-level powerhouses.

Apart from Kane and the others, there was Raphael's group, who finally obtained golden materials, killing 8 beasts in total and acquiring one and a half golden magic stones.

This implies a few of these golden sea beasts were too weak, needing four to fill one golden magic stone.

Moreover, except for Kane's squad, other guild members only had a chance to obtain materials through their kills.

Raphael's squad was notoriously unlucky, leading to only one golden magic stone being filled from 8 golden-level beasts, with the remaining half not yet filled.

Another who obtained a golden magic stone was the Dragon-kin squad, whose battle damage, although not matching Raphael's, was larger than other members.

This allowed them to eliminate two or three, letting them also acquire a golden magic stone.

However, the Comet Dragon was not quite lucky, only taking down one leader-level golden sea beast overall, not achieving full charging.

On the other hand, they acquired multiple silver magic stones, perhaps now happily exchanging these for a bunch of copper magic stones, adorning their lair in their personal space.

As for non-golden-level sea beasts, nearly all were at the pinnacle and bottleneck of silver level, meaning if fortune favored during the kill, they could achieve charging and directly obtain a silver magic stone.

These magic beasts severely lack power even at golden levels, relying only on body and energy, without rules; but silver levels hold genuine strength.

Even Gnate and his group obtained a silver magic stone.
