Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 714 - 630: Maritime Navigation and Territorial Status

The endless blue ocean.

With the gentle breeze blowing, the waves continuously crash against the nearby black cliffs.

The cliffs drop vertically, with sharp and jagged rocks, long worn by the waves into unknown shapes.

The roaring of the huge waves echoes in the surroundings, and just hearing it, one can feel the breath of the sea.

On the cliffs.

A convoy is stationed here.

Kane and his team disembark from their vehicle, gazing at the scene before them.

The azure ocean stretches far beyond the eye, glimmering with golden ripples under the sunlight from the sky.

It seems no different from the oceans outside.

All around are various cliffs with no suitable places to build a port.

"Looks like we'll be spending some time at sea," Finaris said with a bit of excitement as he looked at the sea before him.

Finaris had never seen the ocean in his life, let alone sailed on it.

The Comet Dragon in the sky descended, looking at the turbulent sea below, then turned its head to Kane and asked, "How do you intend to cross this ocean?"

"I guess I'll have to show you a little trick," Kane joked.

Then he jumped directly down, landing steadily above the sea.

Magic Power surged from his hands, and a massive ship was quickly constructed before him.

The Comet Dragon looked on in shock and curiosity, "What an interesting ability."

"The President's ability is indeed strong, especially since he is a Master of the Mechanical Association. Combining the two makes it even stronger," Raphael couldn't help but say as he looked at the scene below.

This skill in most people's hands is actually quite limited.

However, in Kane's hands, it became a versatile skill, a jack of all trades.

Thanks to the mechanical knowledge in his mind and various inventions and designs, these allowed Kane to adapt to various scenarios.

Hearing Raphael's words, Sriyan, whose head bore a unicorn horn, couldn't help rolling his eyes as he said, "If not strong, would he have been able to beat us like that?"

He was speaking of the first time they fought against Kane and his team, and the later scene where a bunch of people were gathered to gang up on Kane.

"The Star Symbol has already deleted that unpleasant memory."

"Deleted it, then how do you know what I'm talking about?"

"Perhaps it set a conditioned response for itself, who knows."

Not far away, Mona, looking at Raphael's team bickering, couldn't help but smile and say, "Their relationship is really good, isn't it?"

Then she looked at Si and Rui, the siblings who had started fighting each other again, and shook her head helplessly.

Beside her, Finaris, watching this scene, smiled and said, "This is also a way to show good relations, isn't it?"

Regarding this, perhaps the Longbei Brothers could have a say.

While everyone was chatting, Kane finally constructed a one-hundred-meter-long cruise ship below.

He shouted to everyone above from afar, "Come down."

Those with strong power or floating Skills leaped down without hesitation, landing on the ship on the sea below.

Meanwhile, Cotton Candy flew over to carry those who didn't have flight or floating abilities down.

After everyone gathered, the ship set sail along its predetermined course.

"I have some things to attend to, so I'll head inside first. Stay safe," Kane said to Kreya and the others, then flashed into the Guild Hall.

The guild members began exploring this cruise ship.

This ship, although not much different in area compared to the one Kane had built when they reached the Golden stage, had a considerably larger internal space and height compared to before.

It could easily accommodate all guild members.

Kane even made a resting area for the Comet Dragon on the deck.

When Kane entered the Guild Hall, it was no longer as lifeless as before.

A few Knight Order members were taking a simple rest.

Although Burton hadn't shown up lately, several Ghost Maids had temporarily taken over the bar job, with Lamp assisting in operations.

Kane headed to the second floor and walked into a conference room.

At this moment, inside the conference room, some important members of the territory were already waiting here.

"Your Majesty." Upon seeing Kane, everyone saluted.

Kane nodded and sat in the main seat.

"Let's proceed with the intelligence report. How is the current situation in the territory?"

The first to report was Bonona.

"After the restrictions were lifted, the first to attack us were the Cannibal Ghosts, but they only sent an advance party at the time—a hundred-member unit composed of 90 Copper and 10 Silver.

At that time, it was Ironhoof leading the 500-member Knight Order to face them, easily annihilating all of them without letting a single one escape."

"It seems this battle made a significant impression, causing the Cannibal Ghosts not to launch any more attacks in our area. However, they have launched various large and small attacks against all surrounding forces.

They are currently focusing their attack on the purple troops not far from us."

In Bonona's native Dungeon, all military forces were differentiated by color, even now it remained so.

"Judging from the forces attacking the purple troops, they have not yet exposed their Golden-level power. The highest Commander is a Cannibal Ghost with Silver Peak power.

We had some Knight Order members switch some equipment to support the purple troops, causing a stalemate between both sides. They are now engaging in some localized battles."

After hearing Bonona's report, Kane nodded. As expected, the Ogre Race had indeed launched attacks around.

The Ogre Race is considered the biggest threat next to them.

Kane has also collected dungeon information about the Ogres.

After all, being in the same region as Kane means that their dungeon has vanished within the past two years.

Not to mention that the Ogre Race has at least 30 members with golden-level strength.

Recently, the disappearance of golden-level dungeons in their region made it very easy to find specific information.

From the dungeon information, it's quite easy to deduce the general information about the Ogres.

Logically, with so many members at the golden level, the Ogre Race's former dungeon would have been quite powerful among the golden level.

The reason for its disappearance was the Explorers discovered the monsters' weaknesses within the dungeon.

Only difficult dungeons in the Golden Dungeon would be cleared.

This is also why Kane and his group, even while neighboring such a powerful force, are not overly worried.

Next is the report from the Minotaur Shaman Whitehorn.

"I have contacted the Beastman Race at our border and have temporarily maintained a certain peace with them."

Kane hasn't collected specific dungeon information about the Beastman Race from outside, so he doesn't know much.

All he knows is that, so far, there hasn't been any golden-level strength seen in this race.

The Dark Servant discussed for a long time in the Beastman Territory, and the strongest should be a Beastman Sword Saint who reached Silver Peak power.

In the entire force, there are not even over 500 at the silver level; most of the race is at the copper level, and there are even more ordinary Beastmen.

However, to prevent accidents, Bonona still had Whitehorn, who has golden-level strength, to deal with them.

Then came the report from the Dark Servant.

"The Ogre Race has already annihilated another adjacent force, capturing all the ordinary people to their 'farm'.

The number of ordinary people in that force was quite large, and there wasn't any golden-level strength; even silver-level members were rare.

For the other forces around our territory, the Ogres only used vanguard forces in their attacks, while they launched stronger attacks against the weaker forces on the other side."

Hearing the Dark Servant's words, Kane furrowed his brow.

The Ogre Race is too aggressive, and coincidentally, the majority of the forces adjoining them are not very strong.

They are now crazily expanding territories and capturing populations of various other intelligent races.

The good news is that digesting these conquered results will take considerable time.

Bonona, on their side, will surely support Kane and the others' arrival.

Within this known circle, strong forces include only the Ogres and Kane and his group.

Some other military forces have members at the golden level, but mostly only one or two, and there is no sign of them merging on another level yet.

It's unknown whether these soldiers have shed the essential impact the dungeon had on them in the past.

After some thought, Kane chatted a bit with Bonona and the others and then ended the meeting.

For now, they can only try to maintain the status quo.

Kane then left the Guild Hall and appeared on the ship.

Most guild members haven't gone on a sea voyage, so they're running around on the deck.

Everything on the ship and sailing on the sea excite them.

From a distance, a figure mingling silver and red quickly plunged into the sea.

It then leaped from the water, flying towards the ship.

Upon getting closer, Kane saw it clutching a massive 3-4 meter ocean fish in its hind claws.

It then flung it onto the deck.

"It looked pretty strong, so I caught it."

While speaking, the sea fish wasn't dead and was thrashing wildly across the deck, emanating a cold aura that frosted the surrounding deck.

It's still a Magic Beast.

Kreya walked forward to observe for a moment, and a long, lance-like piece of silver equipment appeared in her hand.

She stabbed it fiercely into the spine of the sea fish.

The sea fish quickly died, and the blank Magic Stone on Kreya's neck was swiftly half-filled with silver energy.

"This sea fish has silver power; it should be possible to use it as silver-grade ingredients. Let me study it."

Saying this, Kreya carried the sea fish towards the cabin.

Burton also followed, as new ingredients always excite a chef.

Watching this scene, Kane laughed, "If that thing is edible, we'll be in for a treat today."

"Better than yesterday?" The Comet Dragon poked its head over with anticipation.

"If it's edible, then it will definitely taste ten times better than yesterday," Kane replied seriously.

He wasn't wrong, considering yesterday's ingredients were ordinary, not even reaching the copper level.

If this ingredient reaches the silver level and is edible, today would definitely qualify as a delicacy.

Hearing Kane's words, the Comet Dragon soared into the sky again, heading towards the sea.

Its voice drifted over from afar.

"I'll see if there are other sea fish."

The prospect of delicious food greatly motivated him.
