Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

In the arena

Countless goblin corpses covered the ground, and as the main gate shattered, these bodies transformed into blue particles, pouring into the crystal hourglass in the center.

Meanwhile, everyone sat on the ground drinking yellow physical potions, quickly recovering.

Fighting this kind of dungeon monsters, weak in power but large in number, was really a bit tough for them.

All four of them could be considered single-target attackers, lacking good area-of-effect abilities.

So they could only kill these group monsters one by one, even though they could kill quickly, it was still less efficient than wiping them all out with a large-area skill.

After resting for a while, Kane suddenly sensed something was off.

"Why are there no treasure chests and battle rewards this time?"

It was only after Kane spoke that everyone suddenly realized.

"What's going on?"

Everyone gathered in front of the hourglass, observing the floating hourglass carefully.

This hourglass had 4 halos now, only one of which was lit, while the other three were dim.

Kane pointed at the halos and said, "Could it be that all the halos need to be lit to reveal the rewards?"

Everyone leaned in closer to examine it.

"Possibly," Longbei scratched his head.

Kreya suddenly said, "Perhaps it's the final stage where all the rewards are combined and will only appear after defeating the boss."

No one could deny the possibility of this.

"Forget it, let's rest for a while first, recover our strength, and then proceed to the next wave."

After all, they weren't injured, only their physical strength was significantly depleted, and they just needed to rest in place for a while to recover their strength, which wouldn't affect their combat efficiency.

Hearing Kane's words, everyone nodded in agreement.

Kreya immediately pulled out a large carpet from her space equipment and laid it on the ground.

With the disappearance of the bodies, even the blood disappeared, making the field quite clean at this moment.

After laying the carpet, Kreya continually took out various foods from her space equipment and placed them on it.

The others didn't hold back and started eating the food.

While eating, Kane suddenly pulled out a newspaper from his space equipment and laid it in front of everyone.

"I've decided the next dungeon will be here, what do you think?"

Kreya had long known, and continued to eliminate the food in her hand.

Longbei and Meizike leaned in to look at the information on it.

Longbei, somewhat puzzled, said, "A dungeon that only drops magical materials? Isn't this a garbage dungeon?"

"It's fine," Meizike didn't mind, as he was a newcomer; any dungeon was alright with him.

"Going to pick up trash?"

Just after speaking, Longbei patted his own head, suddenly remembering that Kane had a need for magical materials, and they had to be materials dropped by his own team, he wouldn't buy them.

Realizing this, he also said, "It's fine."

Kane, seeing that everyone knew his thoughts but didn't call him out, couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, it's decided then."

After eating, everyone took out their own carpets, laid them on the ground, and agreed on the nap time before resting separately.

As explorers, they couldn't afford to have insomnia issues.

They had to be able to close their eyes and rest anytime, anywhere, to quickly recover.

Not long after, they were awakened by Yu You, refreshed themselves, and tidied up their things.

Kane asked his teammates, "Are you ready?"

Receiving their affirmative replies, he quickly confirmed and proceeded to the next step.

The four surrounding doors started flickering again, finally stopping with a light at the puppet's door.

"Rush over and block the door."

Following Kane's words, everyone quickly charged over.

Learning from the last time, Kane prepared to squeeze out several walls to block the door, leaving only one exit.

With the experience once again, Kreya quickly realized Kane's intention.

And explained it to the others.

After hearing it, Longbei couldn't help but shout, "You're really a genius, this skill is really useful."

Approaching the door, Kane quickly squeezed out two walls to block both sides of the door.

Fortunately, the door wasn't very large, so Kane's skill range could still maintain it.

Then he pointed to the gap he left open, signaling everyone to be ready.

The door slowly opened.

Only Kane was familiar with the puppet that emerged.

As it moved, slow, with the noise of joints creaking, rendering it somewhat piercing to hear.

They proceeded straight, hitting Kane's wall.

Then they began groping around, looking for an exit. When they eventually found it, Kreya and Longbei were already waiting.

They dragged it out and killed it with two hits, then kicked its remains aside to make way for the next one.

Thus, they engaged in mechanical actions, swinging weapons, kicking the remains aside, and preparing for the next one.

Meizike, after applying enhancements to everyone, just watched their actions idly.

At this point, throwing a burning potion inside might injure their own people, so he could only watch from the side as his companions dealt with the assembly line of kills.

These puppets re-confirmed their intelligence level, as even the crossbow-wielding remote puppets intended to walk out and attack.

The pile of remains around them kept growing, and Kane only needed to maintain his walls, which his inner magic power could sustain.

Finally, the heavy-armored puppets they'd encountered before appeared.

Seeing these, Kreya directly swapped out her Wolf Fang Club.

And Kane molded a transparent heavy hammer and handed it to Longbei.

Longbei was using something made by Kane for the first time, swinging it curiously in his hand.

As these heavy-armored puppets approached the entrance, Kane directly shot out spider silk, pulling them out.

Kreya and another immediately attacked from the side, avoiding their shields, and knocked them to the ground.

Then they focused all their attacks on its head.

With this cooperation, the heavy-armored puppets that once gave Kane trouble were easily eradicated by them.

After they had roughly defeated about a dozen heavy-armored puppets, the door finally closed.

With the shattering of the door, the remains on the ground disappeared along with it.

These fragments turned into blue magic particles, drifting towards the crystal hourglass in the center.

Everyone hurried to the center hourglass to observe whether the central ring had been lit.

As the magic particles flowed into the hourglass, they indeed began to gather on the central halo.

Once all the light particles had flowed into the hourglass, a new ring was lit again.

Moreover, since the reward did not appear this time, it can be mostly confirmed that they need to complete the final stage to get these rewards.

After clearing two levels, they needed to rest for a day, which Kane and his team considered the best exploration pattern.

So, once everyone was ready, Kane issued the return message.

Everyone vanished from the spot, leaving only the crystal hourglass in the center continuing to emit its glow.
