Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 738 - 650: The Angry Fisherman’s Gain
A hundred-strong Lantern Knight Order is lying in ambush in a section of the forest.
The captain of this order casts a magic spell on his eyes to observe the battlefield a kilometer away.
This knight order is one of the six sent ahead to the frontline.
They are reconnoitering the movements of their target, watching the battlefield, and waiting for the opportune moment to intervene.
It means reaping the most outcomes at the least cost, these knights were born for war. Once on the battlefield, they are skillful in strategy and timing.
On the other side, slightly closer to the battlefield behind a small hillside, Funa and three others are using invisibility magic to observe the enemy.
"To be honest, these Cannibal Ghosts really have an unappealing appearance," Xi flutters her wings, hovering in the air, and can't help but say as she looks at the Cannibal Ghosts in the distance.
These Cannibal Ghosts are like furless creatures, with slender limbs, sharp claws, dry gray skin, and mouths full of sharp teeth, as well as a varying number of odd-shaped eyes.
Funa said beside her, "Don't pay too much attention, after all, they'll disappear from this world soon, trying to defy the rules set by the Mist, truly an arrogant race."
The rules set by the Mist are very fair and achievable, if they don't even want to comply, then indeed there's no reason for their existence.
They can basically be called the public enemy.
Not far away, a humanoid race with light blue skin is at war with the Cannibal Ghosts.
Aside from the skin color, their appearance and body features are identical to humans.
Upon closer examination, even their height is not very different.
Their settlement is at the back of a mountain valley.
They rely on a wooden wall in the center of the valley to fend off the Cannibal Ghosts' attack.
And it is this natural terrain that allows them to maintain their defenses.
But they have too few soldiers, and most are of Copper grade, with Silver ones being the team captains or leader-like roles.
And half of the opposing Cannibal Ghost troops are Silver grade, even though this Cannibal Ghost force has only five to six hundred troops.
But five to six hundred is more than enough to annihilate them.
The blue-skinned race's fighting members number just over 300, retreating steadily under the Cannibal Ghost attack.
Below, the Cannibal Ghosts roar at them, and then a humanoid Cannibal Ghost tears off an arm of a blue-skinned race and starts gnawing on it.
This bloody scene makes the defending blue-skinned race shudder in fear.
Such scenarios are not limited to one location but are happening all over the battlefield.
Those large beast-like Cannibal Ghosts, like mounts, directly grab entire corpses, toss them into the air, and gulp them down.
Funa, watching this scene from afar, couldn't help but rub her neck with a look of disgust: "This race really gets more annoying the more you look at them."
Compared to the other three, Finaris remained calm; such scenes left no trace of disturbance in her heart.
Funa turned and looked at Finaris's expression, couldn't help but ask, "Doesn't this scene make you uncomfortable?"
Upon hearing Funa's question, Finaris shook her head lightly.
"Scenes like this are nothing compared to the dungeons I once lived in; they're not even gory."
Upon hearing Finaris's response, the group glanced at her, then silently turned their heads back.
So, to her, this scene is just child's play?
Whether to consider this good or bad remains uncertain.
For Finaris, indeed, such scenes can only be considered child's play, knowing that her former dungeon had wars with the Abyss's demons.
Moreover, Finaris had awakened, repeatedly experiencing similar battles.
Those demons are indiscriminately chaotic and inherently violent, eating enemies' corpses is a mere routine; they commit far more malicious and cruel deeds.
Not to mention those cultist's sacrificial rituals, the first time Finaris witnessed such scenes, she couldn't eat for a week.
The cruelty among the same race can be more terrifying than that between alien races.
Sometimes it's hard to tell who the real demon is.
Comparing what she has seen before, the current scene now seems rather mundane.
She couldn't help but think of the devils in the Mist World.
Those who can't drive and those who deliver packages.
Funa and the others did not actively attack, instead waiting for the knight order to make the first strike.
Their task is to coordinate with the knights to attack; each Explorer Squad acts as an independent raid force along with the knight order, delivering the deadliest blow to the enemy.
As for when to launch the attack, it's up to the Explorers themselves to judge.
After all, each Explorer has been battling in the dungeon for some time, so they have the judgment.
But at least they must wait for the knight order to initiate the attack.
At this time, the Cannibal Ghost troops had already broken through the city gates, slaughtering the living forces of the enemy.
They quickly set fire to the enemy's settlement, then pulled out all the blue-skinned women and children, concentrating them in the center.
As for the so-called treasures, assets, and food, they are not interested and throw them all into the fire.
What they want is these people.
