Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 987 - 857: Responsible Defensive Line

Upon entering, it was discovered that more than half of the members of the Secret Council were inside this building.

However, there were also a few people Kane didn’t recognize, but these unfamiliar faces were standing with the members of the Secret Council.

It seemed they were brought in by a member just like Kreya’s group.

Although it’s rare for a squad of 5 members to rise to the level of tricolor like Kane’s group has achieved.

But for two or three people to ascend to tricolor together is not quite uncommon.

The companions along the way have become the closest friends.

Upon entering, Kreya paused, as if she sensed something, her eyes scanning the room before stopping on Lily.

Upon seeing Lily’s succubus-like appearance, she seemed to understand.

But Kreya didn’t do much, just nodded politely at Lily.

Lily also nodded back with a smile.

At this point, Bedalin, standing next to Lily, couldn’t help but speak.

"That lady must be Kane’s fiancée, right? Why don’t you go over, you whore? The flames last time hurt, didn’t they?"

Lily glanced at her without saying anything.

However, Bedalin glanced at Kreya and said, "So, you’re the genius who can ascend to tricolor alongside Kane? Even though you’ve just been promoted to color, your strength doesn’t seem inferior to hers."

"It definitely won’t be inferior to you," Lily retorted.

At this moment, Orochi said, "Miraste, Archie, and Lorrochi are currently a group and have just arrived; their number is not yet three, so they haven’t finished forming. Do you want to team up with them?"

Miraste glanced at Archie and nodded, "No problem."

Even in the patrol team, they are organized into teams.

This is to maximize combat power and ensure the safety of team members.

Usually composed of 3 to 5 people.

And the people of the Secret Council generally team up since they are more familiar with each other.

They often team up to resolve some difficult crisis events.

After Miraste’s allocation, Orochi turned to Kane’s group.

"You don’t need to be assigned. I believe your group of five will definitely be the most coordinated, so you can form a team directly, no problem, right?"

Kane smiled and said, "Of course, no problem at all, it’s exactly what we want."

Orochi nodded, then waved his hand toward the sky.

A light screen appeared before them.

A small ring appeared in the air.

Under Orochi’s manipulation, it quickly divided into four parts: southeast, northwest, leaving the east.

The enlarged east began to distribute into uneven small squares.

Each small square had its own number.

Divided into more than 50 parts, each small square had more or fewer names.

Orochi pointed to one piece and said, "East-26 District, this area is patrolled by the people next door, now it’s assigned to you, Miraste."

Then he pointed to another area and said to Kane’s group, "East-41 District, this area is for you to patrol. Since there aren’t enough people, no one is patrolling 42 District, so temporarily it’s assigned to you, too."

After hearing Orochi’s allocation, both teams nodded in agreement without any objection.

At this point, Orochi reached into his space equipment, pulling out several whistle-like silver objects and handed them over.

"Rescue whistle. If you find the number of enemies is too large or the enemies are too powerful to be resisted, blow the whistle immediately and people nearby will come to support."

"Remember, once you find it’s impossible to resist, blow the whistle immediately, don’t force it, it’s meaningless."

At this time, he seemed to remember something else and continued, "Oh right, in each contiguous region, there will be a five-color level expert who will assist in defense, and in emergencies, he will temporarily become the region’s leader."

"Each region has a fortress for resting, with sufficient supplies and some standby equipment and gear.

If you feel fatigued through synesthesia, immediately send a message, and another team will take over."

Then some detailed exchanges followed.

After almost finishing, Orochi left the building, being quite busy as the leader of the entire area.

And Kane’s group only needed to head to the designated area within 24 hours.

Just after Orochi left, a broadcast-like voice was suddenly heard inside the room.

"East-11 District, request for handover. Please proceed for handover immediately.

East-11 District..."

The broadcast repeated several times.

At this moment, Bedalin stood up, turned to Lily, and said, "It’s calling us, let’s go."

Saying that, she got up and walked out, with Lily and two other unknown women following her.

It seems their team of four is responsible for patrolling East-11 District.

Watching them leave, Kane turned to Kreya’s group and said, "Let’s head over too."

Meanwhile, Archie’s group decided to head out directly.

Having arrived a few days earlier, Archie said directly, "I’ll take you there, I know the place."

With that, he led them out of the building and incidentally to the location of the three teleportation gates previously mentioned by Orochi.

Not far from the three teleportation gates, there was an entire wall of white mist forming in a vortex shape.

Upon arrival, Archie said, "You can head to the desired area directly from here."

With that, he rushed in directly.

"Hey, wait up!"

Miraste exclaimed, and Lorrochi immediately followed him in.

However, Lorrochi was very calm, seemingly immune to such situations from previous actions with Archie.

The group watched this scene, Longbei asked Kane, "Is that child-like guy really okay?"

"Rest assured, although his ideas differ from the norm, his strength and experience are flawless."

Although the so-called experience is imprinted in his mind with personal blood and tears.

Then, Kane added, "Rogue Camp is his place."

With that, everyone instantly understood.

This famous dungeon is known for its stable supply of teleportation scrolls.

The earliest tool most explorers could use to escape from the dungeon might be this thing.

"Alright, let’s go in too."

As he spoke, Kane was the first to rush into the teleportation gate.

At this time, a voice sounded beside his ear.

"Destination."

Destination? Kane immediately replied: "East-41 District."

Then, he felt the resistance in front of him disappear and stepped out directly.

After emerging, he arrived directly at a platform.

Kreya and the others appeared beside him right after.

The scenery here was no different from the fortress, except that there was a small three-story stone castle at the rear of the platform.

It was marked with the East-41 sign, indicating Kane and the others were at the right place.

At this time, Kane sensed the traces of someone’s presence and immediately became alert.

Following Kane’s change, Kreya and the others instantly grew vigilant as well.

At this time, a team walked over from not far away, their pace neither hurried nor slow.

Their voices came from afar.

"Don’t be excited, we are responsible for East-40 District."

As they spoke, they raised the round emblems in their hands.

These emblems bore the markings of the area they were responsible for, as Orochi had just told them not long ago.

There was a very obvious mist aura on it, easily distinguishing authenticity.

Kane and the others slightly relaxed their vigilance, realizing there was a group of five people from different races in front of them.

This is still a five-person team.

Moreover, Kane could sense that the strength of these five individuals wasn’t weak.

At least three people had condensed their skills to the second level, with another stronger than himself.

A very powerful small team.

Leading them was a wolf-like half-beastman who, after approaching Kane, took out two badges from his waist and handed them to him.

Kane took them and saw the round badges were marked with East-41 and East-42.

Precisely the areas they were meant to patrol.

"Finally, someone, you have no idea how tiring it is for a squad to patrol 4 areas."

Perhaps because of their squad’s strong abilities, before Kane’s arrival, they were responsible for patrolling from East-39 to East-42, a whole stretch of four connected areas.

After venting some complaints, the half-beastman directly left, turning around and saying to Kane and the others before leaving: "If there’s any problem, you can directly find us in Area 40."

The entire operation was smooth and avoided any misunderstandings with Kane and the others.

He seemed to have realized that Kane’s group was newly arrived.

If they were acquaintances, they naturally wouldn’t have been vigilant seeing them.

The ones willing to join the patrol team, everyone was already familiar.

Staying longer often led to unnecessary misunderstandings since they were still unacquainted, especially at such urgent times.

Kane looked at the badges in his hand.

Following Orochi’s earlier instructions, he infused a thread of magic power into the badge and then pulled it sharply.

This badge seemed to recognize his magic power.

In total, they could draw out four additional badges based on their team.

He handed two badges to Kreya and the others.

With the badge for Area 41, Kane could clearly sense the rough scope of the area.

The same applied to Area 42.

This way, they could easily know the areas they needed to patrol.

"Quite interesting."

Kane said with a smile, then walked towards the three-story castle behind him.

The entire first floor was unobstructed without any room separations, with stone steps leading to the upper floors.

In the center of the floor was a circular platform, densely covered with magic runes and suspended with an array.

He walked to the array and carefully examined it.

"This should be a reconnaissance array."

At this moment, the floating pattern on the array was of the entire East District.

And both Area 41 and 42 were already marked with their names.

Longbei and several others curiously headed upstairs.

After a short period of observation and exploration.

They easily figured out all the functions of the castle and the badges in their hands.

The badge was equivalent to their duty and identity, with a certain sense of the entire area.

If there were enemy invasions, they could easily detect it without needing to patrol the entire area continuously.

Using the badges, they could quickly teleport across the area.

These badges seem to have certain rule privileges in this region.

And stored in the ground floor of the central castle were supplies, along with many spare pieces of equipment, medicine, and repair tools.

Though they were standard, Kane and the others didn’t need such things.

But these items placed in the outside world would be extremely valuable.

The second and third floors were various functional areas.

Including five rooms for rest, which could be modified individually using the badge.

It seemed to take into account the different body sizes among races.

It must be said that the entire defense area was very thoughtfully designed.

Kane and his team were extremely satisfied.
