Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

More than a thousand people on the wasteland walked on the edge of a death cliff like this.

The sudden arrival of heavenly troops destroyed the demons that were about to claim their lives.

A few quickly gathered up the spoils on the ground.

At this moment, the knight in gray heavy armor, who had fought the Heavy Hammer Demon alone, rode his armored warhorse towards Kane and his crew.

He placed the giant lance on the rack beside his horse, dismounted, and removed his heavy helmet.

The face under the helmet was surprisingly that of a mature woman with delicate features. The heavy armor wrapped around her body had misled Kane and the others into mistaking her gender. Her short golden hair was somewhat messy, perhaps from long neglect.

"Thank you for your rescue. I'm Trish, Deputy Commander of the Ranger Corps."

She extended her armored arm, thumped her chest, and saluted Kane and the others.

"No need to thank us. We are mercenaries who have just arrived in this region to participate in the Holy War. We have now taken on the task of rescuing the civilians or soldiers still trapped in this fallen area."

Trish nodded after listening: "All the surviving civilians around Tick Town are here. I have important tasks to attend to, so I will take my leave for now. The next time we meet, I will surely express my gratitude properly for saving my life."

Having said this, she nodded to Kane and his companions, mounted her warhorse, and led the team of a thousand towards the second line of defense.

After watching the team leave, Kane and the others regrouped, having gained a total of three magic items. They decided not to rush the identification and placed them in space equipment to identify them all at once during their rest.

After all, they were in the middle of a rescue mission, and time could not be wasted. Saving one more person means more strength for the ultimate showdown against them.

"Yoyo, did you hear what she said earlier? Now, let's replan the rescue route."

Kane reminded the Yoyo at his feet.

Yoyo shook its body to indicate understanding.

Kane mounted his horse, looked at his companions, and said, "Now, let's move on. Time waits for no man."

At this point, Yoyo had also recalculated the rescue route and changed direction ahead, leading the group.

Along the way, Kane and the others passed through many villages, which were almost all littered with various fragmented corpses.

They could still see many red flesh monsters wandering by the roadside and some skinless hounds.

At this moment, a few skinless blood-red hounds ran out from the side of the road again, blocking Kane and the others' path and barking wildly at them.

By Kane's side, two floating cannons were always maintained, firing a few bullets at the distant hounds.

The bullets pierced through the air and precisely hit the hounds' skulls.

The hounds whimpered a few times, then fell to the ground, subsequently transforming into piles of ash, a breeze blowing the ash away, revealing a magic item.

As Kane and his group passed by, they didn't stop. A spider silk simply stuck to the magic item and pulled it over.

Almost all the monsters along the way were dealt with in this manner, finding and claiming the spoils without wasting a moment.

At this time, Meizike's Demon Eye seemed to discover something new, as he directly pointed in a direction with his finger.

"Over there, two soldiers are being chased by a demon, and that demon can fly."

Upon hearing Meizike's words, the group quickly changed direction, hurrying to the place he pointed out.

The two fleeing soldiers were heading in the same direction as Kane and his group and met them within a few steps.

The two soldiers appeared flustered, their armor was full of all sorts of dents, and they were weaponless. Their mounts were not armored warhorses but merely unburdened swift horses.

Upon seeing Kane and the others, the two soldiers displayed expressions of ecstatic joy, immediately halting their horses.

The demon chasing behind them was about the same height as a normal person, with dark red skin, two goat-like horns on its head, and wide bat wings.

It closely resembled the demons in the film works that Kane had in mind.

The two floating cannons by his side aimed at the demon, which was gliding over and making strange cries.

The two shells emitted piercing screams as they sped towards the target.

Boom!

The twin bursts enveloped it, after which a charred figure could be seen falling from the sky.

Then a few more bullets were fired, hitting the demon that was trying to get up from the ground. However, this attack did not blow its head apart but merely broke its two horns.

It stood up, roaring towards Kane and the others: "Damn reptiles! How dare you treat Lord Chax like this! I will shred you and consume you whole!"

Its tattered bat wings did not hinder its flight speed, as it rapidly flew towards Kane and the others, dodging bullets by barrel-rolling several times.

"It's over, the demon's enraged. You all go quickly, Kas, you too, go now, I'll hold it off."

One of the fleeing soldiers shouted towards Kane and his group.

Just then, a rainbow-colored transparent bubble appeared in front of the demon, enveloping it completely.

While still within the bubble, Lirulu's playful face with her tongue sticking out could be seen.

However, the bubble didn't appear to be very strong, as the demon violently struck it several times, about to tear it apart.

Yet, just a slight delay, a brief control, was enough.

A giant shadow appeared beneath the demon, which glanced around in the abruptly darkened surroundings, unable to resist looking up.

Longbei had already transformed into a 5-meter-tall gray Titan, jumping down from Cotton Candy with an enlarged shield pressing towards the demon.

As the shield was about to collide with the demon, the bubble suddenly vanished.

Bang! A loud crash resounded as the demon was slammed into the ground by Longbei using the shield, creating a deep pit with the surroundings filled with dust stirred up by the impact.

Even after such a blow, the demon didn't perish, its angry howls and roars still audible.

A gold and white giant hammer swung down powerfully by Longbei smashed onto the demon's head, with Holy Light piercing through into its skull.

The demon's head was smashed into a bloody mess, yet it still resisted.

"Still not dead? Looks like I'll need to exert more force."

Longbei pressed a foot firmly onto the demon while picking up the giant hammer and pounding it down crazily.

Over and over again.

The dust surged around, with countless magma-like blood splattered everywhere.

In a short while, only a pile of ashes remained beneath Longbei's feet.
