Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 788 687: Racing Against Time

Inside the spacecraft currently landing.

Yoyo is reporting the recent situation, letting everyone present know through broadcast.

"Our flight just passed over a certain faction, that faction detected us and has been locking onto us for reconnaissance."

"Even now we are still within their information detection range, should interference be applied, Master?"

"Apply interference, make sure the enemy does not know our movements."

As Kane's voice fell, Yoyo began to spread an energy ripple through the spacecraft to the surroundings.

The factions around Koboke that could detect them this way were only the Magic Mechanical Faction he mentioned, which had malicious intent to capture them.

In other words, Kane's group had flown right over the enemy, completely exposing their arrival information.

Without considering the enemy's territory being on the inevitable path to the coordinate location.

But it doesn't matter now, based on the detection range earlier, even if they circled around from another place, they would also be detected by the enemy upon landing.

The crucial attention needed now is that the enemy likely already knows their movements, and can deduce they are here to rescue Koboke.

If he were the enemy, he would definitely dispatch an interception team immediately to prevent Kane and his group from taking away Koboke.

As these thoughts pass by, the spacecraft successfully lands.

Kane immediately says to the members behind him, "Once we get down, stay alert; the enemy knows we're here and might obstruct our rescue."

After speaking, Kane immediately disperses the vehicle.

Cotton Candy also emerges from his body and flies straight to the sky, carrying Meizike's Eye of Magic Power.

Comet Long takes Cotton Candy towards the sky, then begins to circle in the air, scanning the route they came with blood-red eyes like searchlights.

He knows the situation above the spacecraft.

When Kane and his group land, Koboke and others have already noticed and are waiting beside them.

Upon getting down, Kane sees the mechanical head he once encountered at the Gobi Ruins, now not just a head.

Below the head, there are humanoid mechanical limbs, with an overall height of around three meters, but the physique appears rather slender.

The body also shows signs of rust and wear, seemingly modified from those broken-down machines in the Dungeon.

The most conspicuous is the hollow of its body emitting a faint red glow.

The source of the red light must be the power source wrapped within it, recalling that Koboke's race was the red Mechanical Race.

They must be identified by their core inside.

Next to Koboke, there are three similar mechanical races, differing only in the style of their mechanical bodies and heads.

Around them, mechanical creatures of various sizes, like eight-legged mechanical spiders and mechanical scorpions with biological appearances.

Suspended entirely spherical machines in the air, extending an unmistakable gun muzzle.

"Kane, long time no see." Koboke said with his unique mechanical hoarse voice to Kane.

"The situation is urgent now, not a time for pleasantries; our landing has already been detected by your enemies, they should be dispatching interception troops now."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Koboke nods, "When you came from that direction, I anticipated this issue, so preparations for evacuation are underway."

However, he paused before saying, "The central machine that created our race requires a certain amount of time to dismantle, so we need to wait a bit longer."

Upon hearing his words, Kane nods, "Alright, I hope you speed up; time waits for no one."

Then, except for Koboke who remains nearby, the other mechanical races proceed to the dome-exposed mechanical building at the back.

Kane's Explorer team members behind him have already prepared for battle, remaining vigilant.

To prepare for potential battles, Kane immediately constructs mechanical spheres in the air and spreads them out.

...

Back on the other side.

When the Commander picks up the phone, the voice from the other end comes through.

"Deploy, given this situation there's no point in waiting; capture those mechanical life forms directly, be careful not to harm them, each one is a very precious asset."

"Yes!"

After hanging up the phone, the Commander immediately picks up another communicator.

However, before he can speak, his subordinate begins to report again.

"The enemy discovered our reconnaissance and emitted interference waves, rendering our detection waves ineffective."

The Commander paused, then picked up the communicator and said, "Number 4, have your frontline troops launch a full attack; besides ensuring the safety of those mechanical life forms, do as you please, but make sure to capture them."

"Oh, Captain, you've finally made up your mind, finally able to have a proper battle, I've had enough of these scrap metals. Leave it to me."

The person on the other end of the call sat on a seven-meter-high six-legged machine, a robust man.

He was dressed in a black and gray camouflage uniform, with prominent scars on his face.

After hanging up the communication, he immediately used the communicator on the machinery to address the entire camp.

"Everyone, all commanders bring your troops and charge for me. Remember, do not harm those mechanical entities.

Otherwise, you'll face severe punishment, maybe even lose your lives, do you understand?"

The response to him was the shouts from the entire camp.

In the camp, multiple large weapons with huge barrels rose up, tilting diagonally, aimed directly at Kane's area.

With the order given, the barrels emitted a huge roar, and cone-shaped shells were launched.

Meizike was the first to notice the situation here.

"Enemy attack, it's similar to artillery shells."

Meizike's words instantly alerted everyone.

Longbei immediately expanded his size to the maximum, raised his shield, and protected everyone behind him.

Kane even created a steel barrier in the air.

Then, he constructed two energy mechanical entities over five meters tall beside him.

Shrill sounds pierced the sky.

Kane saw several objects descending towards them.

However, these objects fell without causing a massive explosion, instead dispersing a wave resembling sound waves upon exploding.

They caused no damage to the barrier in the sky, but the waves penetrated the barrier and even passed through Longbei and the others.

Without causing them any harm.

Nevertheless, Yoyo immediately projected a blue barrier with golden stripes for herself.

Watching the barrier projected by Yoyo, Kane quickly turned to look behind him.

He saw his assistant Cobo collapsed directly on the ground, with a red glow flashing from the holes in his body.

Some parts of the connection structure even sparked.

And the mechanical spheres that Kane had just spread in the sky were impacted directly by the waves as each shell exploded on the barrier, causing them to fall to the ground.

Kane didn't care about these mechanical spheres, but hurried to Cobo's side, quickly opened his palm, and released his Origin Skills to start examining Cobo's condition.

After spending a few seconds on a quick examination, he determined that the body's connection structure affected by the wave wouldn't impact life.

Cobo's blue eyes flickered, seemingly trying to communicate, but the rigidity and paralysis left him entirely unable to express.

Kane directly said, "Don't worry, I will safely get you all out, including your mother machine."

Hearing Kane's words, Cobo's flickering eyes finally dimmed, not due to life danger, but allowing the machinery to shut down akin to sleeping.

Kane gathered a mechanical device in his hand and then attached it to Cobo's chest, launching a blue shield with golden stripes.

This was the same shield installed on Yoyo, a defense shield specifically set up by Kane to guard against various impacts on mechanical operations.

When Kane conceived this shield, he intended it for defending in case of encounters with any Mechanical Dungeon or against people from the Mechanical Association.

He never used it before, but unexpectedly, it was employed now.

With this shield, they could temporarily ensure their safety.

After finishing everything, Kane immediately turned to Klaya and the others and said, "The enemy's attacks are specifically targeted at mechanical entities. Quickly hide around, and if the enemy arrives, then launch a raid."

"Yoyo will provide you with an information shield to ensure you're not discovered by the enemy. I will go inside that building and rescue them before coming back out, hope you all can hold on for a while."

Hearing Kane's words, Klaya nodded: "Leave it to me without worry."

After hearing this, Kane immediately turned and started walking toward the nearby half-round mechanical building.

The interference waves from the shells exploding in the air must have affected the operations inside.

Meanwhile, Klaya and the others quickly concealed themselves with Lilu's magic.

To outsiders, they turned into surrounding large trees.

Yoyo also provided energy interference to obstruct enemy information detection.

Without knowing the enemy's detection strength, this thing was most useful.

Kane entered the mechanical building, where it was already dark and sparking here and there.

It was clearly not lightly affected by the interference wave earlier.

Kane could only hurry deeper inside.

Time was pressing.
