Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 974 - 845: New Elements with a Different Art Style

The dark black sky, the blackened, cracked earth.

A very typical, fragment of a death world.

In this silent world, the faint sound of horse hooves emerged.

The crisp sound of horse hooves was so conspicuous in the silence, echoing far and wide.

Kreya, clad in golden armor and wearing a yellow cloak, was slowly walking through this silent world.

Lying on the horse’s back was a small figure exuding a faint colorful glow, none other than Lilulu.

Though both were moving forward, their attention was focused on the mechanical devices in their hands.

Apart from the two, Longbei and the others were quite leisurely, also exploring a fragment of a death world.

Kane was even walking beyond the mist, heading toward the next world fragment.

Since everyone had time at the moment, they were communicating via the mist-enhanced beep device.

Although there was a certain delay, they weren’t too far apart, at least not worlds apart.

A delay of a few seconds was still acceptable.

At the moment, Kane was relaying his theorized deductions to everyone on the BB machine.

He warned everyone to start paying close attention to their surroundings and not to relax their vigilance due to experience from previous explorations.

Having received this information, Kreya and others wore serious expressions.

Both Kreya and Meizike, though traversing a lifeless fragment of the world, remained more vigilant than usual.

Through Kane’s information, they concluded it was best to relax vigilance within the mist.

After all, the world outside the mist was chaotic, and synesthesia, a special "new organ" of these mist explorers, was theirs alone.

Potential invaders would get lost in the chaotic space even if they entered.

Not to mention, the mist was vast enough.

Hence, it was relatively easy to relax here.

Kane suggested resting not in the world fragments but within the mist.

Resting in the mist’s only drawback was that even during rest, synesthesia needed to be kept engaged, wasting time outside exploring the mist.

But since they had divine bodies now, they wouldn’t risk danger just to save a bit of time.

While sending her thoughts, Kreya verbally reminded Lilulu on her back:

"Lilulu, did you see Kane’s message? Don’t wander off alone afterwards. We two must always stick together and be more vigilant. Got it?"

"Okay, Sister Kreya, Lilulu will definitely stick close to you, hehe."

Lilulu replied with a laugh, then stood up and flew to Kreya’s shoulder, whispering in her ear:

"Lilulu is the Fairy Tale Queen, and the Fairy Tale Queen isn’t afraid of attacks."

Hearing Lilulu’s words, Kreya turned her head puzzled, tilting her head full of question marks.

Does being a Fairy Tale Queen have anything to do with not being attacked?

Seeing Kreya’s confusion, Lilulu acted a bit smug, fluttering her butterfly wings and floating in front of Kreya with arms akimbo.

"Humph!"

Then in her hand appeared the scepter symbolizing the Fairy Tale Queen’s authority, along with a plush fairy tale dress, and a luxurious Queen’s Crown on her head.

Brandishing the scepter, she tapped it mid-air.

"Guardian Warriors!"

As Lilulu’s slightly authoritative words transmitted out.

Tears appeared in the air around her.

The colors and distorted light revealed by the tears were colorful.

Shadow figures crawled out one by one.

Seeing the shadows emerge, Kreya finally glimpsed their full form.

Those emerging from the spatial tears resembled cloud-like white wolves, whose distinct upper bodies faded into ink-cloud-like trails.

Then, a space tear behind Lilulu opened, releasing a dragon-like entity akin to jade stone.

The dragon’s appearance wasn’t intimidating; instead, it gave off a chibi-style vibe.

Its body made of jade stone, trailing colorful shadows, coiled and circled behind Lilulu, its style clearly differing from reality.

Kreya, observing these strangely styled white wolves and the even more absurd jade dragon behind Lilulu, opened her mouth to speak but closed it upon considering Lilulu’s fairy tale nature was inherently outlandish.

She should be accustomed to it by now.

Lilulu pointed at the white wolves and said, "These are Cloud Wolves, birthed from the fairy tale elements within Lilulu’s fairy tale world clouds. They can hide within space layers."

"So Lilulu isn’t afraid of attacks penetrating through space."

With that, her expression grew even more smug.

Hearing Lilulu’s words, Kreya furrowed her brows in thought before asking, "So, do the Cloud Wolves guarding space detect intrusions earlier, like the ones Longbei and the others faced?"

Lilulu nodded her head.

Monitor the surrounding spaces with fairy tale elements?

Thinking about this, Kreya pointed at the jade dragon behind Lilulu.

"What is this thing?"

Lilulu had been waiting for Kreya’s question, turning to stroke the jade dragon’s head.

"This is Jade Dragon, the strongest element in Lilulu’s fairy tale world, whose power is about to reach tri-color. Its arrival brought new elements to the fairy tale world.

The Cloud Wolves were born due to the arrival of Jade Dragon."

Hearing Lilulu’s words, Kreya nodded, no wonder the two styles were somewhat similar.

So, Lilulu’s fairy tale world adopted a new style.

Lilulu, even among the so-called water-and-ink design.

Of course, this was Kane’s naming; Lilulu didn’t know why but felt it fitting.

Suddenly, Kreya recalled something, looking at the jade dragon behind Lilulu said, "This thing couldn’t be the few years ago equipment..."

She involuntarily recalled the first dungeon they cleared when they were in the gold stage, where Lilulu obtained a peculiar piece of equipment.

It was something Lilu intentionally requested from Kane, so Kreya had some impression of it, especially since that equipment seemed to be Jade as well.

At that time, Kane identified the attributes and mentioned that there was life inside.

Seeing Kreya guessed it, Lilu nodded vigorously: "That’s right, it was only after Lilu reached the true power of Tri-color and became the master of the Fairy Tale Elemental Interface that he hatched."

Looking at the Jade Dragon behind Lilu, Kreya shook her head helplessly.

It seems Lilu’s power will increase another level, especially since she now has a Tri-color level Summoned Creature.

At this time, their beepers rang again, and Kane sent the identified equipment attributes to everyone, allowing everyone to decide together the ownership of the equipment.

Hearing the equipment had been identified, everyone showed enough interest, even though they were in different places.

Both Lilu and Kreya looked at the information on their machines.

Looking at the specific attributes of the identified equipment.

The attributes of this equipment are too perfect.

The attributes were so perfect that Kreya was a little shocked.

On the other side, Longbei, seeing the attributes of this equipment, couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

He said to Meizike beside him, "Indeed, our luck is not bad at all."

Meizike also nodded in agreement to this.

Not only not bad, but overwhelmingly good.

Of course, it had to be that they were strong enough to counterattack, otherwise, being weak would be the unluckiest thing.

Thinking this way, Meizike suddenly felt that it seemed like the luck was offset, and quickly shook his head to shake off that thought.

Luck is luck, there’s no such saying.

Yes, that’s it.

After some discussion.

Nobody wanted the Tri-color level weapon [Bone of the Polluter] Kane got first, so it was sealed in the warehouse.

Then they would decide how to handle it later, mainly to see if the side effects could be sealed or removed.

They didn’t need the [Slaughterer’s Ladder] either, so it was also put into the warehouse, temporarily kept by Kane for research.

The [Assault Hand] was almost decided without much discussion to give to Kreya, as only Kreya among them could perfectly bring out the effect of this perfect equipment.

The [Eye of the Explorer] put them in a dilemma since almost everyone was suitable for it, even giving it to Meizike would be fine.

So they had to figure out who the equipment was most suitable for.

After layers of communication and discussion, the equipment finally ended up with Kane.

Compared to others, Kane could better utilize the advantages of this equipment.

After the communication, Kreya opened the guild warehouse and took out the [Assault Hand] from it.

"This equipment is so strange."

Looking at the equipment Kreya took out, Lilu couldn’t help but say.

According to the information Kane sent, Kreya strapped these two peculiar gloves onto her hands, then put on the Hand Armor again.

Squeezing and shaking it completely unaffected.

The attributes on the Hand Armor were not negated either.

"Though this equipment is strange, it suits me quite well." Kreya said as weapons appeared in her hands.

When the weapon was held, the Jade shards in her palms slightly turned into a membrane, adhering to her palms.

Kreya could feel that holding a weapon felt more skillful and she grasped it very securely.

Feeling such a special effect, Kreya couldn’t help but smile: "Does it have such a unique effect too."

This equipment perfectly suited her needs at the moment.

Feeling the enhancements brought by the equipment.

Kreya held the double blades in her hands and suddenly assumed an attacking stance.

Staring at the empty ground ahead.

Magic Power surged into her hands, and as she posed, her hind foot suddenly stomped hard.

In an instant, she transformed into a thread of black and white flame, appearing hundreds of meters away.

The double blades that charged over also swung out in the air.

Two massive white Qi Blades shot out.

Scarring the ground with a deep crack, extending far ahead.

Even the air was split open, with two rifts appearing in it.

This strike directly sliced open the space.

Standing in her original place, Kreya nodded extremely satisfied, looking at the attack’s intensity.

"This equipment is amazing."

"Sister Kreya, you are so cool." Lilu flew over to compliment.

Hearing Lilu’s praise, Kreya smiled and pinched her nose.

At that moment, Lilu suddenly picked up the beeper and sent a group message.

"Call me Queen Lilu, and I will give you good things."

Reading the message, Kreya curiously raised her head, then seeing the few Cloud Wolves behind Lilu, she suddenly realized something and smiled with a nod.

Three message responses appeared on the beeper without hesitation.

"Queen Lilu!"

"Your Majesty!"

"..."

Seeing these messages, Lilu nodded in satisfaction.

Then sent another message.

"Using the Fairy Tale Elemental Summoning Array, Lilu will give you powerful Guards."

After sending the message, the three Cloud Wolves behind Lilu broke through space and disappeared on the spot.
