Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 147: Encounter
CHAPTER 147: CHAPTER 147: ENCOUNTER
The chainsaw sword in Kane’s hand was created, and just as he wanted to stand up, his foot gave way, and he couldn’t help but fall to the ground.
Four magic palms appeared instantly around Kane, steadily supporting him and helping him sit slowly on the ground.
Kane casually took out another bottle of magic potion from his waist pouch and gulped it down.
Waiting for his magic power to recover a bit, Kane picked up his chainsaw sword, and magic began to disperse from his hand, flooding into the magic circuits of the healthy sword body.
The chains on both sides of the chainsaw sword started spinning with a swishing sound. As the chains spun faster and faster, the white substance constructing the sword body began to destabilize.
Boom!
The chainsaw sword exploded, breaking into white fragments scattered on the ground.
Kane picked up the fragments from the ground, looked at the pieces in his hand, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
Although it requires a tremendous amount of magic power to turn creations made of transparent rubber into permanent constructs, even with the most basic hardness of clay, it completely drained Kane’s current magic power.
But this didn’t affect Kane’s excited mood because he saw a bright future ahead.
I’m just copper now; once I become silver, the origin skills will receive even greater enhancement. By then, I’ll find a way to upgrade the "Golden Cauldron" to silver skill too.
The prospect of combining these two skills, how could it not excite Kane.
"Can you create objects with magic power now?"
Upon hearing Kreya’s words, Kane collected his excited emotions and replied, "I can now, but the magic consumption is extremely high and not very practical yet."
They had just witnessed Kane’s display, which somewhat rationalized Kane’s skills.
If one could freely create magic items with low consumption, then there wouldn’t be any justice.
But the descendants of the Mist have already been engraved on Kane’s forehead.
Since Kane’s skills had already been tested, it was about time to rest now.
After checking Yoyo’s battery, which was still very sufficient, they entrusted the task of night watch to Yoyo, and everyone entered the tents to rest.
...
They rested for nearly 12 hours that night.
After packing up the camping items, everyone returned to the spot where they landed before.
Kane started checking around, and apart from their own traces, Kane didn’t find any new marks.
This means they, while resting last night, no other explorers came to the third layer. Or someone did come, but with extremely high vigilance, covered up their own traces.
Because they were right on the edge of this layer of the dungeon, they just needed to move forward.
This layer, compared to the surface, seemed more alive, although saying there’s vitality in a dungeon themed around the undead seemed strange, but it was true.
For example, Lilu holding a flower emitting faint white fluorescent light, with light blue illusory butterflies flying around it.
This kind of scene could be seen next to the fluorescent plants around, and also ghostly flames floating around in the sky, as if possessing life, with faces visible in the flames.
The expressions of these faces weren’t painful, just infinitely tranquil.
From time to time, thick stone pillars still hung down from the ceiling of the space.
Of course, the skeletons crawling up from the ground occasionally were also characteristic of the entire dungeon. But luckily, the monsters on this layer seemed to be various types of skeleton creatures, without decomposing dead corpses and zombies, making the air easier to accept than above.
Kane and the others hadn’t walked for long.
Suddenly, a wave of soul energy came from afar, and when the wave passed through Kane and others, they heard a giant roar in the distance.
This soul wave wasn’t just received by them, but also by the surrounding bones.
The various scattered bones on the ground began to tremble gently, linking together and fitting with each other.
Diverse bizarre skeletal undead were created, some even visible in their original appearance.
Others were simply various body parts from different races randomly combined, making even moving seem difficult.
Seeing this scene, Kane and the others instantly became alert. But these bones completely ignored Kane and the others, rushing rapidly towards the direction of the soul wave.
Seeing this scene, Kane thought for a moment and said, "Let’s follow up and take a look, stay cautious of the surroundings."
After speaking, everyone formed a formation and followed the skeletons, running forward.
As Kane and the others rushed towards the direction the wave came from, soul waves occasionally continued to spread over.
Following the skeletons, they didn’t run far.
Finally, they saw the monster emitting the soul waves, a giant skeleton towering about 8 meters tall, with a head resembling a human skull. Its spine slightly curved, holding a massive bone staff, and occasionally roared at the sky.
Its roars didn’t make any sounds but emitted waves instead, which allowed Kane and others to hear its roar when passing through the waves.
It seemed these waves weren’t meant to cause harm but were some kind of undead summoning technique.
This skeletal giant seemed to be engaged in a battle with someone, the boulders before it obscured some of the scenes beneath the skeletal giant, only countless skeletons surrounded under it were visible.
Only Kane, relying on Eagle Eye, saw dense magic reactions beneath the skeletal giant, with four magic reactions extremely obvious.
Those were copper explorers, reaching a bottleneck in magic reaction.
Only to see the skeletal giant raise its bone staff, instantly igniting blue soul fire on it, suddenly swinging down.
The speed of this strike was incredibly fast, Kane, with Eagle Eye active, almost couldn’t see its movement trajectory.
As this strike landed, Kane could see one of the obvious magic reactions disappear directly.
Waving his hand, everyone swiftly crossed the boulders in front, the scene beneath the skeletal giant finally unfolded before Kane and the others.
Countless skeletal monsters piled under it, three explorers were being surrounded and attacked by them, with a three-meter-tall red-haired gorilla beside them, waving its arms to help clear skeleton soldiers attacking.
From their attire, they were from the "Treasure Chest" exploration group, these people were the ones who had a conflict with Kane and others on the ship.
Not far away, a corpse was visible, face unclear, but judging from the clothing, it was one of those explorers.
If there are only these two groups in this layer of the dungeon now, then they’re the ones who set this trap.
Based on their exploration group’s notorious "Treasure Chest" style, it’s highly possible they set the trap.
While Kane and the others were still observing, the skeletal giant raised its staff again for a long time before swinging down.
A mournful scream echoed.
With Eagle Eye, Kane could clearly see two nearby explorers directly knocked flying by this strike, their armor and magic shield shattered instantly, and their magic reactions consequently vanished.
With the death of these two explorers, the giant gorilla also disappeared into the air.
Now only the burly drunk man from the ship remained, struggling to withstand, his mouth shouting something.
