Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons
Chapter 923 - 798: Colossus (Part 2)
Upon hearing Amis’s words, Zock could only shrug helplessly and then replied, "There’s no choice, we have to deliver this cargo to the Matelain Empire in Zone 23’s central ring."
Then, a small orb on his shoulder projected a three-dimensional map in front of everyone.
It roughly showed the route they were to travel and the regions they would pass through.
Amis looked at it.
"We’re going to cross the Sea of Blood, no wonder."
Looking at the navigational route on the map, Amis realized why they had issued a guild commission this time.
This time the sea route would pass through a very dangerous area, the Sea of Blood.
The so-called Sea of Blood is a sea located between Zone 24 and Zone 23.
This sea area isn’t large, but it’s very narrow, occupying almost the best maritime route.
If one doesn’t want to pass through this sea, they have to take a long detour, encountering dangerous waters.
The dangers in these waters stem from natural disasters; it’s better to go through the Sea of Blood.
The main issue is that the Sea of Blood is composed of many ocean-related dungeons.
Ranging from Copper to Golden, almost all are present.
This causes the area to be chaotic, with various pirates and deep-sea forces battling there.
The surrounding coastal countries aren’t friendly either.
The forces that can survive in that area have extremely strong maritime power.
So even a large ocean-going vessel like the Giant Whale, equipped with powerful armaments, may not pass safely.
Although no ships from Platinum Country have been plundered or sunk there, many casualties have indeed occurred.
Although Amis has never escorted a ship through the Sea of Blood, many guild members have taken on such commissions.
Almost every ocean-going vessel that passes the Sea of Blood issues a commission to the guild.
Over time, everyone in the guild knows about this place.
And as a member of the guild, Zock knows the main purpose of Amis and others accepting the commission.
So he smilingly said beside them.
"Don’t worry, after passing through the Gate of Passage, we only need to sail for one day; this period is relatively safe, so you can rest during this time."
"In a day or two, we’ll leave the safe area, and then we’ll pass through the dangerous sea; danger will follow, and that’s when we put in effort."
Upon hearing Zock’s words, both nodded with slight excitement.
This meant that in a day or two, they would easily encounter some golden-level opponents.
The easiest to encounter would be those golden-level sea beasts.
The reason these guild members take commission tasks is precisely to eliminate those golden-level enemies.
Accumulate enough golden magic stones to exchange for invitations, and then go to the World Diamond to comprehend more rules.
Moreover, completing such a commission can earn contributions, and enough contributions can also be used to exchange for World Diamond invitations at the front desk.
The World Diamond has now become the most important building in the guild.
Amis and the others only succeeded in obtaining entry qualification a year ago.
Namely three gold contributions.
"Attention! The Gate of Passage is about to open; please all members still on the deck return immediately.
Attention! It’s about to open..."
The mechanical broadcast started sounding throughout the ship.
Upon hearing this, all crew members working on the deck began entering the ship cabin.
Upon hearing this, Zock turned to Amis and the others, saying: "The Gate of Passage is about to open; let’s go inside."
Amis and his companions nodded, and then they entered the captain’s room.
Here they could still see the entire ship’s situation and the surrounding sea view clearly.
The alarm began sounding outside.
"Personnel on the deck have evacuated, begin scanning!"
"Surrounding sea is safe!"
"No personnel in the danger zone!"
Upon hearing this report, Zock nodded and said to the crew in the captain’s room.
"Activate the Magic Power surge device, connect the pathway, and open the Gate of Passage ahead."
"Yes!"
All members began working.
Soon, the ship’s bow started to emit a strong magical brilliance, and these powers flew from the bow, splitting into beams and shooting forward.
They struck the building ahead formed by six orderly giant magic stones.
As the energy of the beams poured in, bright runes appeared on the giant magic stones.
Soon, the six stones flew up, forming a huge circle.
Linked to each other, magic power swirled within, opening the teleportation gate leading far away.
"Full speed ahead!"
Two battleships moved to the bow, first sailing into the teleportation gate.
The ship began accelerating, and the bow slowly entered the gate.
Once the entire ship entered the Transcendence Gate, the two escort ships followed.
The magic brilliance on the six stones flickered before dimming, then reassembled into a giant column shape, standing on the sea.
In Amis and others’ view, they had already entered the teleportation tunnel.
The surrounding scenery transformed into blue light and various unclear, twisted, blurred spaces.
After about a few minutes, they saw dazzling light up ahead.
On the sea in the distance, six stones similarly opened the teleportation gate.
A blade-shaped bow emerged, and soon the entire ship began to slowly exit.
It was the Giant Whale.
Zock in the captain’s room, took out a golden pocket watch from his chest via a chain, opened the lid, looked at it, and then placed it back.
"Just a few simple minutes saved more than half the time."
These gigantic stones forming the Gate of Passage are a large commercial teleportation array.
Just like the ones in the misty world sky, used for letting airships pass through.
Only Kane used them on the sea surface.
Due to some harsh conditions at sea, it cannot reach the destination directly.
The other end of the Gate of Passage can only be placed in a safe area under Kane’s control.
And the reason the teleportation technology could be expanded so quickly is due to the combined efforts of Lilu and Steel Bone.
"Now begin cruising, and we’ll enter a dangerous sea in a day; during this time, you two can have a good rest."
Amis and Roke nodded, then left the captain’s room to return to their cabins.
