Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 787 - 686 Enemy Forces

The world had completely plunged into darkness, even the soul in the World Ring experienced the same, as this world was flat, there was no such thing as time difference.

How do the sun and moon in the sky operate? Kane wasn't sure, but he knew that they indeed possessed mysterious powers.

In the pitch-black sky, stars twinkled, and the beautiful environment of the World Ring made the night sky's stars form star rivers, adorning the entire sky, while the massive rising spectacle provided the greatest light at night.

An object passed through the plane layer in the night, streaking across the sky.

Zooming in, following this object, you could see it was the new flying machine Kane had created, and a giant silver creature was lying on top of the aircraft.

It was the Comet Dragon, which, after prolonged extreme flight, couldn't endure the fatigue and lay on it for rest.

Originally, it wanted to hold on a bit longer but was persuaded by Kane to stop, as arriving at the destination might quickly lead to combat, requiring good physical strength and condition.

At this time, the seats in the cabin had collapsed, everyone was resting with their eyes closed, recovering their spirit to face tomorrow's battle.

Only Kane, sitting at the foremost, was still working on something, without resting.

For a person of gold level, resting or not wasn't much of a problem, let alone that Kane had already slept enough recently.

In his hand, he was holding a map, examining it carefully.

This map expanded and contracted with Kane's gestures, allowing for a more detailed view of the adventure map's specifics.

This map was the Mist, granting him a real-time map.

As long as he or his forces explored an area, it would illuminate the map with details. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

And Kane and his team were flying swiftly towards the destination, where a long straight line had appeared in the white mist on the map, slowly extending forward like a turtle.

This was Kane's route of action, and Kane had marked the location they were visiting on the map.

Suddenly, he said, "YuYu, have you received any information from Cobok since then?"

"No, Master, after that conversation, no further information from Cobok has been received."

Then YuYu hesitated for a moment, continuing, "According to YuYu's analysis, it's likely to prevent his information from being disrupted or intercepted by the enemy again, to avoid alerting them."

"At intervals, one can still feel the earliest message sent by Cobok, maintaining a facade as before."

After listening to YuYu's explanation, Kane nodded.

This information was maintaining his previous circumstances, deceiving his enemies, and simultaneously informing them that he was still safe.

A very good move indeed.

Thinking about this, Kane began to ponder the enemies they might encounter this time.

Firstly, encountering Explorers was unlikely.

Since even if the Gobi Ruins were passed through and dissipated, it had only been a matter of recent years, and his current target location was in the later part of the World Ring.

Otherwise, there might have been no confidence in reaching it within half a day.

Unless there was a specific purpose, Explorers rarely dashed towards the last position immediately upon entering the World Ring.

Although here, there might be fewer competitors to face.

In the early stage of exploring the World Ring, the hindrance was not from other Explorers, but from the local forces of the World Ring.

Opposition among Explorers usually occurred in the mid to late stages of the World Ring.

By then, numerous forces had stabilized, either allying with Explorers, submitting to them, or maintaining independence, yet becoming aware of almost all external situations.

Only in such conditions would conflict among Explorers arise.

The primary source of death among Explorers stemmed more from local forces in the World Ring.

Cobok's provided intelligence was limited, offering little about the enemies beyond knowing they also used Magic Technology.

But according to their intention of studying the Mechanical Race and their actions.

It suggested that a gold-level enemy wouldn't be taken seriously by them.

Either the enemy had enough gold-level members, or they possessed members above gold level.

Members above gold-level were not within Kane's consideration this time, as he was going for a strike, not invading other forces.

Unless someone actively attacked the colorful power's territory, these native colorful powers were not entitled to make a move, otherwise, it would be a violation.

This was clearly stated in the World Ring magazine's rules.

Even if the enemies made a move, as long as they were in the right, Kane could use his badge to quickly contact the Mist to teach the enemy a lesson.

After contemplating these issues, Kane decided the action this time was to swiftly rescue the Mechanical Race.

If they could conduct the action covertly, that would be best; even if forced into battle, it had to be quick and decisive.

During his musings, the night outside the window gradually began to brighten, the sky's black curtain slowly tinted with faint light.

As the sky brightened slightly, the resting guild members gradually sat up.

Kreya also took out the food she had prepared in advance from her golden pocket and distributed it to everyone.

Kane looked at the breakfast on his plate, a meat pie, and it was a silver cuisine.

He ate contentedly.

While everyone was having their breakfast, YuYu's voice came through the broadcast.

"We will arrive at our destination in 10 minutes, please make your preparations."

Upon hearing the announcement, everyone had no choice but to abandon their enjoyment of the delicious food, quickly swallowing a few bites, wiping their mouths, and preparing themselves.

At this moment, the flying object was gliding over a city dotted with steel structures.

A huge tower in the city suddenly sounded an alarm.

The personnel inside were frantically talking about something.

"Attention, attention, above the city, 1,000 meters in the sky, a large flying object has just passed by. Scouting and image analysis suggest it is a steel creation.

Its speed is extremely fast, having already broken the sound barrier.

The creation is about 21 meters long, 6 meters wide, conical in shape, with wings on the sides."

"Through image, data, and energy trajectory analysis, the creation likely uses a combination of Magic Rune and mechanical structures. The object's shape conforms to the design of flying objects, reducing pressure created during flight."

"It is inferred to be an unknown magic technology force, their technological capabilities are strong, posing a high threat."

At this time, a woman wearing a white, tight-fitting uniform was looking at her round glasses, saying, "On top of the flying object, there is also a creature roughly the same size as it, which, based on shape analysis, appears to be a dragon species."

"The dragon species is stable, not emitting energy, its power unknown."

A tall man, similarly dressed in a white tight-fit uniform, seemed to be in a role akin to that of a commander, stood on a platform in the middle.

Listening to reports from subordinates around him, he immediately said, "Analyze where the enemy originated from, track them until they completely leave our scouting range."

"Yes!"

The previously leisurely environment suddenly became tense, with everyone rapidly taking action.

The commander-like figure stood on the platform, bowing his head in thought.

The other magic technology power passing over the city indicates they are not coming for us.

Could it be the Explorers? According to the external situation described by the god of this world, the Explorers should also have people who use magic technology.

But we should be near the border of the edge area here.

Did these Explorers arrive so quickly?

Or is it another power similar to ours, just far away and not detected, perhaps merely passing through?

The thinking commander was once again interrupted by a subordinate beside him.

"The flying object is decelerating, according to the current deceleration trend, they seem to be landing."

"Quickly calculate their landing point!" the commander suddenly shouted.

Even without his command, the subordinates had already begun calculating on their own.

About half a minute later.

Just as the commander was growing impatient, his subordinates finally calculated it.

"The weak point of the flying object is within the area of the mechanical intelligence life we previously explored."

"What?... I see."

The commander was surprised at first, then suddenly enlightened.

No wonder this magic technology force suddenly appeared above them, as it turns out they were targeting those mechanical life forms.

This means that the distress signals sent by those mechanical life forms were ultimately received by someone.

We can detect their distress signals accurately every time, but due to technical reasons and differences in information coding techniques, we cannot decipher them.

We can only forcefully break them down, turning them into a bunch of gibberish.

Yesterday, there was a period when the enemy did not continue to broadcast signals.

So was it during that time they made contact?

The commander began to think carefully.

If this is really the case, then the force that the flying object represents is indeed their enemy.

And they initiated provocation first.

Thinking of this, he picked up a device similar to a telephone and began communicating with his superiors.

The message was then relayed layer by layer, quickly known by the leader of the power.

While waiting for the leader's response, his subordinates reported again.

"The enemy has completely stopped and is landing, the landing site is the main hub area of those intelligent life forms.

The mechanical monsters and their artillery that previously attacked us, preventing us from getting close, did not fire."

Hearing this, the commander became anxious.

Sending just one flying object, it is obvious their intent is to rescue those intelligent life forms.

It should be known that those intelligent life forms have high research value and are very few in number, only so many, if the enemy rescues them.

Who knows how long it will be until we encounter similar experimental subjects again.

At that moment, the telephone-like device beside him finally started ringing.
