Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 742 - 653: Surround the Enemy, Fierce Battle

Late night.

The entire world was plunged into darkness, with only the cold crescent moon in the sky, and the twinkling stars, providing the only light to the world.

In the moonlight, the cloud in the sky was still drifting slowly.

Kane and the others kept their position, resting on Cotton Candy, awaiting the enemy's arrival.

The only difference now was that Cotton Candy had completely leveled with the other clouds, reaching high in the sky.

Covered by the night, not a trace of its flaw could be seen with the naked eye; detecting it by sensing was almost impossible due to its height.

Below them was the valley where the temporary command center had been stationed.

Whether it was the members of the Knight Order or Raphael's squad, they were all resting inside, while members of the Knight Order organized themselves for simple patrols around.

After enduring a full day of battle, the members of the Knight Order were somewhat tired. For some reason, the Cannibal Ghosts were unusually excited during the day.

This caused varying degrees of harm to many members of the Knight Order.

This is why tonight, they had to rest well, instead of launching an offensive against those Cannibal Ghosts.

Though it was a period of rest, every captain of the Knight Order and every member of the Explorer Squad held a sphere made by the Intelligent Core.

On the map projected by the sphere, seven golden dots and a large number of silver dots were swiftly surrounding them.

A circular silver encirclement was closing towards the valley, with seven golden dots charging head-on.

The prophecy from that Cannibal Ghost had already accurately locked onto the location of the temporary command center.

Although Kane and the others had detected it, they did not move the position of the temporary command center.

They deliberately let go of a few scouts for information gathering, eliminating the rest.

This made it seem more real.

Knowing that Kane and the others only had five golden-level forces, the enemies felt confident, not worried at all. The inexplicable arrogance inherent in Cannibal Ghosts was on full display.

They needed to know that this time, with the Generals of the Cannibal Ghosts, they deployed seven Elders.

Alongside the seven Elders, all elite troops and veterans were gathered, aiming to annihilate these mortal members of the Knight Order in one fell swoop.

To eliminate the heart trouble that plagued them during this period.

Through the prior prophecy and the sky's surveillance, Kane and the others had a clear grasp of the enemy's movements.

Only seven golden-level forces had come, indicating that the prophecy of Kane and their rules being eliminated earlier was not noticed by the Prophet.

Now, Kane and their existence were still in the dark.

The reason for staying in this valley was to ambush them, to capture these seven Elders in one net.

To leave these thousands of silver soldiers here.

Such a loss would be enough to shake the entire Cannibal Ghost race, forcing them to retract their defenses.

"Attention everyone! The enemy is coming, fall back to defense!"

Hearing Raphael's voice, all Knights patrolling outside galloped back into the valley, utilizing the defensive advantage of the valley entrance for defensive combat.

Under Kane's Origin Skills, a towering stone wall had been constructed at the entrance of the valley, complete with several simple city defense machines.

"Did the raid get noticed? Really perceptive." A golden-level Cannibal Ghost murmured, sensing the enemy's movements.

"Have they already discovered us? Well, there's nothing to hide then. Full attack! I'll clear the way for you."

The one speaking was a gigantic beast-shaped Cannibal Ghost, appearing incongruous among the surrounding humanoid Cannibal Ghosts.

On its massive body, it wore sharp and menacing Metal Armor, which alone suggested tremendous attack power.

Afterwards, several Cannibal Elders and the elite troops behind them no longer concealed themselves and directly charged forward.

The number of elite troops reached 4,000, four times more compared to Kane's Knight Order.

As they were about to storm the valley entrance, a volley of arrows rained down.

The arrowheads of these arrows were mixed with silver metal, and aside from the Elders, the elite troops behind them fell in waves under this assault.

"It's that damned silver poison again, truly deceitful humans." The Cannibal Ghost General slashed down all arrows aimed at him.

He didn't know the silver was metal, believing it was a poison created by Kane and the others targeting their race.

Though thinking so was understandable.

But that had nothing to do with Kane, since he wasn't the one who found the restraining metal. These restraining metals were discovered by previous Explorers, who happened upon them.

Watching enemy arrows fly one after another, he knew continuing forward would result in too heavy casualties for the troops behind.

That beast-shaped Cannibal Elder transformed into an object resembling a meteor, instantly reaching the stone wall at the valley entrance.

The massive impact and towering physique shattered the wall that Kane had constructed with a single blow.

Kane and their side's city defense advantage vanished in an instant.

And his speed seemed to be endowed upon everyone behind him, visibly a red light wrapped around soldiers' feet, instantly boosting their speed a notch.
