Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 346 - 341 End
CHAPTER 346: CHAPTER 341 END
With the total death of the justice squad, all the prying eyes around disappeared.
"Oh dear, how did these people run so fast? They don’t even wait for us." Kane opened his eagle eye to scan the area, but saw no magic power reaction.
These people all fled from Kane and his companions, fearing that Kane and his team would take them out once they had their hands free.
Upon hearing Kane’s words, Kreya rolled her eyes and then asked, "So how are we going to plan our journey now?"
After listening to Kreya’s words, Kane thought for a moment and then told Yu to project the map. After studying it for a while, he said.
"There should only be a few dozen explorers left now, but the remaining map is still too large. After the next wave of map collapse, we’ll be able to hunt across the entire map and quickly end this exploration."
"As for the next few days, let’s find a place to rest for a while. To be honest, the expansion of the Holy Grail enhancement output has made my whole body ache."
Upon hearing this from Kane, Kreya and Lilulu both nodded in agreement, however, Longbei and Meizike didn’t share this feeling.
Apparently, it’s because only the three of them exceeded the originally capable output level of magic power.
While everyone was chatting, snow suddenly floated down from the sky, with cold winds blowing over them, causing Kane to shiver uncontrollably.
It seems even the dungeon knows that certain major matters have been completed, and it is time to restore the weather to its original state.
Kane adjusted his skills nearby, then quickly constructed a vehicle, and everyone filed into it.
The vehicle started slowly under Yu’s control, heading towards the location they chose, and inside the car Kane and his team, tired from the battle, entrusted Yu with the instructions before each went to sleep.
A few days later...
It was nighttime, and the crescent moon was just rising over the black curtain of the sky.
Inside a small cabin amidst the mountain forest.
After dinner, Kane and his companions were each engaged in their own activities, with Kane sitting by the window, continuing to design mechanical devices.
Suddenly, a light appeared in the sky, and Kane looked up.
Another squad was annihilated. In the past few days, as the terrain shrinks, encounters with squads have become more frequent, and the image of teams being killed appears daily in the sky.
"Why are these people so bloodthirsty? Can’t they stay quietly for a while? Can’t they just wait for the map to collapse before killing?" Kane said, looking at the assassination marks in the sky, his heart bleeding sorrowfully.
But soon, soon, the map will collapse, and the journey Kane and his team have planned will begin tonight.
Not long after, a deafening sound echoed again from afar.
"Boom!"
The molten giant snake that had been wandering around the outskirts moved towards the center again, smashing the ground blocking its path into lava one by one.
Seeing such disturbance, they immediately made preparations, scattered the cabin away, and then moved to the periphery of the forest, waiting for the molten giant snake to sink all the marked ground.
At this moment, a squad icon in the sky was slashed by a fire snake and shattered.
"Why are there still people dying at the map collapse location at this time? Where on earth does Silver Peak get its strength?"
Watching the movements in the sky, couldn’t help but grumble, lamenting all the lost magic stone energy.
From now on, every fog squad killed by someone else, not by Kane and his team, would make Kane feel like losing a fortune.
Such that it could make him heartbroken to the point of breathlessness.
Finally, the action of the molten giant snake stopped its body, returning to its previous wandering state, swimming slowly at the edges.
This signified the discovery of the map was finally completed.
"Quick, quick, quick, let’s get going, start now." Kane eagerly turned to his teammates and said, then began to construct the vehicle beside him.
Kreya and the others were already prepared and entered the interior of the vehicle.
Tonight, their task is to start ending this exploration.
After entering the vehicle interior, Kane said to Yu, "Yu, project the remaining explorer information."
Since every squad death would reveal an icon in the sky, Yu would record the death of each squad and eliminate them.
Looking at the explorers projected in front of him, Kane calculated that there were less than 40 explorers left.
Among them, 5 people were Amis and his team.
Totaling up, it meant there were only 30 explorers left, and they were all complete 5-person squads. As for whether there were any reductions within these 6 teams, it was unknown. Because the icon wouldn’t appear in the sky until the entire squad was dead.
Kane randomly chose a team, then gathered a silver compass in his hand.
Input the characteristic of the squad captain he chose into the compass.
However, the compass needle spun wildly, indicating that he couldn’t detect this person.
"Their captain already died." Kane remarked regretfully.
Then he proceeded to choose another teammate from their squad.
This time the compass finally reacted, pointing in one direction.
The vehicle’s interior immediately raised a frame with a circular recess at the top, where Kane placed the compass.
"Alright, Yoyo, let’s follow the pointer and move out, full speed ahead."
As Kane’s words fell, the vehicle shot out like an arrow, and everyone immediately grabbed onto nearby objects to steady themselves.
The vehicle revved up to full power, racing around the dungeon.
Within less than an hour, Meizike spotted that squad.
"I see them, but there are only three people."
Upon hearing Meizike’s words, Kane sighed regretfully and then said, "Get ready, take your positions, and slam right into them."
The resting three-member squad instantly became alert as they sensed something charging towards them and quickly dodged around the incoming object.
During the charge, the vehicle dissolved, leaving Kane and his team landing on the ground.
"The Mist Squad!" The man’s voice was somewhat terrified; he instantly recognized the team that suddenly appeared before them.
Kane and his team, in this dungeon, among the last remaining people, had become the stuff of horror stories.
The three of them didn’t say a word and each chose a direction to desperately flee, with no intention of stopping, wishing they had more legs.
And Kane’s team had long anticipated this situation, rushing towards them the moment they landed.
Since these people focused solely on escaping and didn’t have defensive intentions, Kane’s team easily caught up and turned them into gravestones.
The pursuit was so short that they could still see the positions of the remaining others, finally regrouping together.
Kane’s image appeared in the sky once again, alongside another squad’s image, next to the team Kane just encountered.
After many days, Kane’s image reappeared in the sky.
"So only five teams are left, let’s keep going."
Kane reformed the vehicle, and once everyone was seated, they continued rushing to the next location.
Meanwhile, inside the viewing area.
The observers below the screen watched the screen where Kane’s battle footage reappeared after many days.
"So their squad really has a way to track other teams, why didn’t they use it before? Seeing them leisurely waiting for others to attack, I thought they didn’t have a tracking method."
"Perhaps their tracking skills are specific to individuals, and they previously found the map too big for tracking?" This person accidentally hit the nail on the head with the correct answer.
"Who cares, anyway, within a day’s time, this exploration competition will be over, and we can finally get out of here."
A lot of news reporters below had already filled several books with dungeon information, waiting to publish as soon as they got out.
Meanwhile, in the dungeon, Kane and his team’s kill records kept appearing in the sky, leaving the remaining squads alarmed and even the dullest individuals could see that Kane’s team was clearing the dungeon.
Having moved to a new hiding place, Amis’s team sighed as they watched the sky’s activity.
"Ah, finally we’re getting out of this dungeon? It’s been really tough during this time, always hiding; never again will I come to a dungeon that far exceeds my strength."
Listening to their captain, all the team members nodded in agreement.
Indeed, during this period, they were constantly alert; as the weakest squad among all explorers in the dungeon, they were doomed to retreat against anyone they encountered.
And they knew this well, so they kept trying to hide, even specially preparing random teleportation and fixed-point teleportation tools for this dungeon exploration, all for survival.
Now, Kane’s actions in the sky signaled their intention to end the dungeon exploration.
And they could finally be freed.
Just like that, time moved to the next day’s midday, and no one cared about the next safe zone notification in the morning.
Kane and his team were chasing after the last explorer squad.
This high-intensity drive had consumed a lot of Kane’s magic power, whereas confrontation with explorers consumed far less of his magic power.
"They’re just ahead, I can see them now."
Following Meizike’s words, the vehicle accelerated again, charging towards the direction Meizike mentioned.
The explorers heard the commotion behind them and stopped running, opting to stand and attempt to battle Kane’s team one last time.
The vehicle swooped over their heads, with Kane’s team landing directly in front of them.
Without any delay, the two teams clashed instantly.
In a flash, two members of their squad fell dead, turning into gravestones.
The others couldn’t hold their ground for three moves before following their teammates’ fate.
Thus, apart from Kane’s and Amis’s squad, all remaining teams were eliminated.
