Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 744 - 654 Victory in the Battle

The sky faintly brightened as the pitch-black curtain was lifted, and the entire sky once again emitted a soft light.

In the valley where the temporary command post was located, a strong smell of blood wafted through the air.

This bloody smell made the beasts of the surrounding forest howl uncontrollably, but they did not dare to advance due to the pressure there, instead pacing back and forth.

Blood flowed freely throughout the valley, everywhere one stepped was on a pool of blood, leaving behind drop after drop of viscous liquid.

This blood soaked into the soil, seeping into mud pits.

Perhaps it won't be long before the plants in this valley thrive.

Beside the valley, Kane dug a gigantic mud pit, and some uninjured Knight Order members dragged the corpses of these Cannibal Ghosts into the pit.

The Cannibal Ghosts were bare, stripped of both armor and weapons.

Not long after, the pit was filled with Cannibal Ghost corpses.

Many members of the Knight Order in the surrounding camp were receiving treatment from the Healers.

In front of him, the corpses of the Cannibal Elders were burned to ashes by Kreya with black-and-white flames.

These Cannibal Elders were indeed too impoverished.

Except for a few elders, the others didn't even have golden-level equipment, excessively shabby.

The only value they provided to Kane was the charging of the Magic Stones to a golden level of energy.

Meizike was treating the members of Raphael's squad and Longbei.

After all, the enemies were of a golden level, even though they fought with superior numbers and the enemies were not strong, they still suffered some injuries.

Especially Longbei, who was struck several times by a Cannibal Elder, with green foul-smelling blood already seeping from his wounds.

The Cannibal Elder used some sort of rule-level poison, and once hit, Longbei's physical condition was continuously weakened.

But fortunately, Meizike's rule was purification. He was able to break this poison rule well, especially with its user already dead, making it easier to eliminate.

Just looking at Longbei's furrowed brow, it was evident that this feeling was unpleasant.

The other injured individuals did not suffer as severely as Longbei, not reaching a level of bone and muscle injury.

But there was no alternative. Longbei's tactics involved large-scale combat, making him more susceptible to enemy attacks.

Kane waved his hand, and a floating stone slab carried over the petrified Cannibal Ghost.

Seeing the floating statue, Anrule pointed at it, and green light spread out. The gray that resembled stone on the surface of the Cannibal Ghost began to fade, returning to normal.

The revived Cannibal Ghost in the black robe immediately sat up, gasping for air.

He quickly cast a shield on himself, checked the surrounding situation, and realized that his fellow tribe members were all dead, piled in a pit, while he was surrounded by ten golden-level individuals.

Judging by the look of these enemies, they seemed quite intact without severe injuries.

The situation was now self-evident, with a bad premonition realized in his heart.

Despair quickly filled his heart, so he could only silently lower his head, quietly awaiting his fate.

Kane was unconcerned with the man's emotions and directly asked, "Tell me, how much elder-level combat strength do you have?"

Faced with Kane's question, the black-robed Cannibal Ghost remained silent, showing no intention of answering.

It seemed using normal methods to make him speak would indeed be a fool's dream, but Kane didn't expect him to answer directly anyway.

After some thought, Kane took off the golden arm guard on his arm and handed it to Kreya beside him.

Kreya picked up the arm guard, inspected it, and directly wore it on her wrist.

Then she activated the equipment's skills, with mystical runes and golden light accompanied by strands of Buddhist chanting.

It then transmitted into Kreya's hand.

Observing the light in her hand, Kreya maliciously smiled. Then a mass of black-and-white flames burst out towards the Cannibal Ghost before her, burning his body.

Screams rang out, and enveloped by black-and-white flames, he rolled on the ground screaming in agony, trying to extinguish the flames, but to no avail.

The burning flames penetrated his soul, the intense pain made the Cannibal Ghost scream and struggle madly, but any action proved useless.

The scent of death constantly circled his mind, impacting his soul, torturing him.

He should have already been dead, but he wasn't dead, instead continuously subjected to the torment of death.

Once things appeared sufficient, Kreya withdrew the flames.

After withdrawing the flames, the Cannibal Ghost could finally breathe again, sweat pouring from his body like water.

"Now, are you willing to answer my question?"

The Cannibal Ghost weakly nodded, the soul-burning pain driving him mad, his mind nearly unclear now.

"There are a total of 31 members in the Elder Council."

After hearing his answer, Kane turned to look at Lilu.

Lilu shook her head.

Immediately, Kreya released the black-and-white flames again, continuing the burning.

"Ah!… It's 36 people, in total—ah! Ah! 36 people! Please stop."

After hearing this answer, Lilu nodded, and only then did Kreya withdraw the flames.

"Lying is wrong, remember the pain deep within your soul. Now, continue answering my question."

"Just now, the Cannibal Ghost capable of releasing blood-red swords, where does his strength rank?"

Among the 7 cannibal ghosts just now, only two reached the level of two rules.

Among them, the one that could release blood-red blades, which he killed, was somewhat stronger.

"He is the ninth seat of the council, aside from the first three seats. The rest of the top 10 are more or less like him, with not much difference."

After hearing his answer, Lilulu nodded again.

"Now tell me about the characteristics and abilities of these council members, I hope you won't hide anything, you know the consequences."

Then this cannibal ghost in front began to narrate, while Yoyo recorded at the side.

He would then compile these materials and distribute them to everyone, so they know the characteristics and abilities of the enemies they are about to face.

Especially the extent of the power of the top three cannibal ghosts and their ability characteristics; these are the points of focus.

The cannibal ghost in front of them told them everything truthfully, without any concealment.

The torture of being half-dead was worse than death for him, and he didn't have such an exaggerated iron will to resist this torture.

After Kane asked all the questions he wanted to know, he nodded in satisfaction.

Then he said to Kreya, "Go ahead."

Black and white flames surged forth once again, this time without a merciful glow, burning fiercely on the cannibal ghost's body.

In his painful screams was a sense of release, as if this true burning finally allowed him to embrace death.

Then Kreya went to the pit of corpses and released black and white flames, incinerating all the bodies into ashes.

The burning of the black and white flames did not emit a nauseating stench from these bodies, it merely turned them into ashes at a very fast pace.

After completing this series of actions, they quickly gathered their belongings and returned through the teleportation gate to their territory.

This time their mission was perfectly accomplished.

They rescued tens of thousands of refugees of different races, killed countless enemy soldiers, and most importantly, eliminated 7 golden-level forces of the enemy.

Including those previously defeated, 29 golden-level forces remained.

However, apart from the first 10, the others were insignificant to Kane and his team.

Not to mention that one of the first 10 has been eliminated, now leaving only 9 golden-level enemies posing a limited threat to them.

Moreover, they obtained most of the ability characteristics of the golden-level enemies, allowing better targeting against them.

After returning to the territory, they promptly held a banquet to celebrate their perfect victory in the first battle.

Before that, Kane still had to visit the Spring of Rebirth to revive members of the Lantern Knight Order who died in one battle.

After all, the enemy had 4000 people, all of silver level, and Kane's knight order inevitably suffered some casualties.

A total of 13 knight order members were revived, and the only consolation was that none of these deceased knight order members died again.

After all, the Spring of Rebirth only works once, and once dead again there would be no chance for revival.

Everyone was eating and drinking to their heart's content at the banquet.

"How many silver magic stones did you get this time? My luck was not so good, killed 24 enemies and got only 5 silver magic stones."

"Only 5? That's indeed a bit unlucky. I killed 25 enemies, and most importantly, got 6 silver magic stones."

The Explorers chatted casually at the banquet, asking each other how many silver magic stones they obtained.

This is a symbol of power in the Guild as well as of luck.

Everyone hopes their luck is a bit better than others'.

"Raphael, did you see? Do you see what this is in my hand?" Kafka put his arm around Raphael's shoulder, waving a golden magic stone in front of him with the other hand.

Raphael's veins bulged, swatting Kafka's hand away: "Can you get lost? Damn it."

After saying that, he walked away, hiding in a corner drinking alone.

This time, Raphael and his squad managed to jointly defeat two golden cannibal ghosts.

Coincidentally, these two cannibal ghosts were put down by the final blow of Raphael and Kafka respectively.

The issue arose here, the one Kafka finished off successfully gained energy, charging a golden magic stone.

But the one Raphael finished off didn't charge.

Although this is a normal probability, and the teammates were used to it, they couldn't help but tease his luck.

Although Raphael didn't like others teasing his luck, he had to admit his luck was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory.

"Damn it, I must find a way to become a Mist Warrior, otherwise, this luck will continue to be bad like this forever." Raphael muttered to himself, drinking sulkily.

Longbei walked by and patted his shoulder.

Giving heartfelt advice, he said, "Listen to me, don't become a Mist Warrior and wear that badge."

With Raphael's luck, he might not enjoy the thrill of gear drop before suffering from the increased difficulty of the dungeon.

Longbei and his team had experienced the difference firsthand.

This time, everyone who participated in the battle reaped abundant rewards.

Kane and his team eliminated 5 golden-level enemies, as a few were not strong. Together with the previously uncharged golden magic stone, they obtained three in total.

Plus, Kafka was to redeem one later, gaining 4 golden magic stones.

Moreover, the other Explorer squads had practically everyone obtaining a handful of silver magic stones.

There was no other way, after all, with 4000 silver-level enemies, even with bad luck, many could still be obtained.
