Skill extraction from Dragon Clan

Chapter 611 Transition
"These guys are as endless as flies."

Taking advantage of the short break after the battle, K.K quickly checked his equipment, replaced the ammunition, and then walked to Stephen's side.

"What's wrong? You've been standing here motionless since a while ago. Have you discovered something?"

“Kind of…” Stephen nodded, his brows furrowed.

Looking at the hideous head at his feet, Stephen squatted down and examined it carefully.

"Do you think there's something wrong with these guys?"

"What's wrong? If I have to say something, it's probably that his fighting spirit is extremely strong. He doesn't seem like an ordinary criminal at all. Even the armies of big countries rarely have such a will." K.K raised his eyebrows.

As a fighter who is good at using hot weapons, K.K is also particularly good at harvesting the lives of large numbers of miscellaneous soldiers in a large battlefield, so she can easily tell the differences between the enemies in front of her and the miscellaneous soldiers she has encountered before.

"That's it, look at that guy..." Stephen stood up and pointed to a human ice sculpture in the distance which luckily was not broken because it was far away.

"That guy was originally at the back of the team. Because he was far away, my moves shouldn't have affected him. But even after seeing the people in front of him freezing to death, he still charged forward."

K.K carefully examined the human ice sculpture that Stephen pointed out. After seeing the guy's extremely fanatical expression until the last moment before his death, his expression became serious.

There are many crazy people in Hersharemz who are not afraid of death, or in other words, basically those who dare to live in this city are not afraid of death.

But the act of "not being afraid of death" itself also has different levels.

Although most of the residents of Hersharemz can be said to be fearless compared to ordinary people, if you think about it carefully, they are only the type who "can bear greater risks in order to gain more benefits."

Some aliens with strong vitality also like to get close when they encounter things, but that is just to experience the thrill of being on the verge of life and death.

But it’s different on the battlefield. Although reinforcements will always arrive because the strength of the invaders is unclear, the criminals who have come into contact with Stephen and his men will definitely be able to deeply understand the gap in strength between the two sides.

If you continue to move forward in this situation, it means you are willing to fight even though you know you will die.

Such fighting spirit is extremely rare, let alone in criminal gangs or underworld organizations, even in the military.

So K.K naturally thought of a special group he had come into contact with before: "Death squad? And there are so many of them? Are we facing those old monsters from another world?!"

"No, not really. If they are death warriors, then their combat skills are too poor. No one would train such death warriors."

K.K thought about Stephen's words and nodded.

She couldn't help but recall the horrific way these criminals fired their weapons. During the battle, she even found many of them staying behind cover and firing their weapons above their heads in a faith-based manner.

In addition, these guys also showed that they had no knowledge of any tactics during the battle, let alone techniques such as alternating cover shooting. Sometimes some unlucky guys would even be killed by bullets flying from behind.

His combat proficiency is almost zero, and he relies entirely on ferocity to support his fighting power. He certainly doesn't look like someone who has received rigorous training.

While thinking, Stephen continued to explain to K.K.:

"Since they are not artificially trained warriors, then the source of this inexplicable fighting spirit is very suspicious. There are basically only two reasons I can think of."

"Magic and drugs." K.K. followed Stephen's train of thought and continued, "If these two things are the cause of the effect, it shouldn't be that rare, right? Spells like berserk should be quite common."

"No, on the contrary, it's very rare!" Stephen shook his head. "You usually deal with tough guys, so you rarely come into contact with related matters."

"Hmph! Guess why I always deal with tough guys?! Fan! Head!" K.K glanced at Stephen unhappily.

Stephen also reacted, smiled awkwardly, and could only quickly change the subject.

"Although people often think that sorcerers are omnipotent, and all kinds of special magic have strange effects, in fact, even magic must follow basic rules."

Stephen couldn't help but look back at the special operations team following him:

"Controlling the human mind is the most difficult technique in magic. If it is just to increase encouragement or fear awakening, it is relatively simple. For example, to make them ignore life and death and step into the battlefield while retaining a relatively clear consciousness... It is very difficult!
Even if one casts mind control magic on an ordinary person, if what one is asked to do touches upon the creature's instinct, the spell may easily become ineffective.

Moreover, it is quite complicated to perform. Most of the known mind control magic needs to be performed one-on-one. Even if the spells that can be performed on a group have any effect, the effect is very weak and the coverage area is very small. It is rare to see such a large scale.

Therefore, if there is a sorcerer in this underground base who can exert such a large-scale and powerful mind control, then the person behind it is definitely not a simple person. "

As he spoke, Stephen casually kicked towards a passage in the distance. A surging ice crystal storm swept through the space, freezing several enemies who had just appeared into ice sculptures.

K.K also raised his hand and fired a few shots casually, accurately killing all the enemies that emerged from the passage.

The task of the special operations teams has completely become to open up the way forward, confirm whether there are any traps, and increase the speed of advancement as much as possible.

"It is possible that it is related to drugs, but the specific situation is not clear at the moment, so it is impossible to define it.

In short, even if this is the reason, such a large amount of shipments means that there is a dangerous person in Hersharemz. Let's investigate it carefully after the matter is over."

As he spoke, Stephen glanced at the corpse on the ground intentionally or unintentionally.

Because the physical fitness of many races in the other world is far superior to that of humans, most of the poisons (harmony) circulating underground in Hersharemz at this stage are of the type that are too potent.

After taking that kind of thing, it's okay for the physically strong races in the other world, but for humans, the side effect is not just "mild" like becoming violent.

If something like this were to leak out from Hersharemz, it would definitely cause great chaos.

But the most important thing now is to solve the problem at hand.

"arrive!"

Seeing the prompt coming from the tactical helmet, Stephen stopped immediately.

Everyone stood there and looked around, but K.K was the fastest to find their target with his eyes.

"There!"

Stephen took the lead and walked to a small iron door next to the passage that looked like a warehouse.

Such iron doors are everywhere in the underground base. They are basically used to store various ammunition or necessary supplies. When Stephen and his team attacked the underground base, there would occasionally be thugs hiding inside and trying to sneak attack the special operations team.

After calling up his personal terminal and comparing the locations, Stephen nodded with satisfaction:
"According to the map provided by the intelligence, this should be the place."

Bang!

As he spoke, Stephen had already kicked the iron door. The seemingly rusty iron door suddenly showed an unusually strong resistance to damage. The outermost layer of rust was shaken off, revealing the shiny new metal layer inside.

Stephen was not surprised to see this scene:
"As the intelligence said, in order to better hide it, no magic was used. The gate was made of pure composite metal materials."

This passage seemed a bit narrow compared to other main roads, and in order to cope with the fierce battle, the members of the special operations team did not carry any suitable tools.

In fact, even if you really bring something like a small cutting machine, whether it will be useful against this special metal door is another matter.

If someone else wanted to break through this door, it would probably take a lot of effort, but for Stephen it was quite easy.

Stephen lifted his foot and stepped lightly on the metal door. The sudden drop in temperature caused visible mist to appear around his feet, and fine white frost quickly spread to the entire metal door.

Esmeralda's blood-freezing way...

Without even using any specific moves, Stephen simply used his own strength to lower the temperature of the metal door to a dangerous point.

Bang!
Stephen and K.K. kicked the metal door, which had lost its ductility and become extremely brittle due to the extreme low temperature, and rushed into the space behind the door.

The space behind the door was unexpectedly large. It didn't even look like a man-made underground passage, but more like a natural cave.

The first thing that caught their eyes upon entering the door was a device that looked like a submarine floating in the air.

A magic circle carved below the "submarine" was now slowly lighting up, and when Stephen and the others rushed in, more than 90% of the area had already been lit up.

On the other side of the "submarine", a group of strange-looking aliens were scrambling to board the machine.

The dress of these aliens seemed more "elegant", and many of them even wore suits like humans. They were completely different from the thugs that Stephen and his team had dealt with before.

With Stephen's memory, he could tell at a glance that these people were the leaders of various underground parties or illegal organizations, and now they were all gathered here.

"Submarine? That's a big deal. Fortunately, we arrived early enough." Stephen was a little emotional. He felt that he had said "big deal" several times today.

Looking at the aliens who were a little stunned by the two people's sudden rush out, Stephen and K.K launched the attack without hesitation.

The first to attack was K.K. Relying on her extraordinary skills in using thermal weapons, her speed of attack was beyond everyone's imagination. She opened fire almost the moment she saw the submarine.

However, this time the target was not the aliens crowded together at the door, but the magic circle under the submarine that was about to be fully lit up.

The bullet drew a trail of lightning and accurately hit the most vulnerable part in the center of the magic circle.

A transparent barrier lit up, trying to block the attack.

boom!
Violent blue thunder exploded from the bullet, and bright lightning ran everywhere on the ground, cutting the ground supporting the magic circle into pieces.

A smug smile appeared on K.K's lips. It was obvious that when the other party focused on the core of the formation, he fell into her trap.

The land that supports the magic circle is quite hard, and under normal circumstances it is difficult to be destroyed with the protective barrier that comes with the magic circle. However, when the protection is concentrated on the core, the originally solid carrier becomes a weakness.

"Roar!"

"Kill them!"

"die!!"

The aliens present also knew this, and seeing their hopes of escape destroyed, these seemingly elegant, well-dressed aliens turned back into the brutal appearance of a criminal group.

Some leaders tore their clothes and transformed into giants and pounced towards the special operations team. Some deployed the biochemical transformation machinery hidden in their arms to provide remote support. A few leaders began to chant spells and prepared to cast spells.

It can be said that compared with the thugs Stephen and his team had encountered before, the combat effectiveness of this group of leaders has been significantly improved by more than one level.

With such strength, they achieved what their subordinates had tried their best but failed to do - they lasted for three minutes.

"He's really tough. Isn't the biochemical transformation on this guy the latest model that was recently released?"

K.K looked at the alien who was stepped on by him, whose body was beaten to half and was still struggling. He calmly changed the magazine of the gun in his hand, fired several shots at the opponent's exposed transformation core, shattering it and killing the enemy.

At the same time, Stephen kicked the frozen enemy in front of him into pieces.

After taking a quick look at the battlefield, I found that the interior of the cave had become a mess, with smoking explosion craters and broken rocks everywhere.

Except for the special operations team led by Stephen, there was no one else standing on the field.

However, this battle was indeed difficult. Several members of the special operations team were injured, and supplies such as ammunition and grenades had been used up.

Watching several members of the special operations team tie up several aliens whose limbs were broken and unable to resist, Stephen turned to look at K.K.

"Almost over."

"Well, just get rid of that last troublesome guy."

K.K nodded, and together with Stephen, he looked at the submarine that had been motionless since a while ago.
