Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 100: Spider Meat and Dinosaur Meat
In the living room
After Kane finished reading the information about the two dungeons, he handed the documents to Longbei and the others.
At this time, Kreya had also finished reading the information about the [Gobi Ruins]. ๐๐ง๐๐ฎ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฃ๐ธ๐๐๐.๐๐๐
Seeing that Kreya had finished reading, Kane asked, "Do you know anything about the area where this dungeon is located?"
Hearing Kaneโs question, she nodded and said, "I do have some understanding; the Heteris Kingdom is a kingdom primarily composed of humans, established 400 years ago."
At this point, Kreya started to ponder, carefully recalling other information about this kingdom.
"This kingdom should still be a monarchy now. As for the local culture and level of civilization, Iโm not too sure, but the Kant Harbor, where the dungeon is located, should be connected to the Casco Sea."
After listening to Kreyaโs brief introduction, Kane nodded understandingly.
Longbei also finished reading the materials on the [Royal Soul Tomb Group], and after putting down the information in his hand, he said.
"The monsters in this dungeon are all of the Undead System, and since we currently possess strong Holy Light Attribute attacks, it could indeed be a place for us to break through our bottleneck.
Also, only one team has cleared it so far; clearing it early might increase the loot rate."
Kane agreed with Longbeiโs earlier points, but as for the last part about the loot rate being higher if cleared sooner,
it mostly comes from the teasing words passed among explorers.
The only known factor that increases loot rate at this stage is the first time a new dungeon is cleared.
If the people at that time gave up or died inside, then the increased loot rate would permanently disappear.
For later clears, there is no special significance.
Kane looked at the two and asked, "So the two of you have no problems with the upcoming plan, right?"
Seeing them both shake their heads, Kane felt relieved.
As for Meizike, Kane didnโt dare to go find him right now; heโd wait until he came out later.
Before long
Meizike finally came out of his room.
Seeing him, Kane immediately waved him over, signaling him to come quickly.
After Meizike came over and sat down, Kane handed him the dungeon information he was holding.
After taking the information, Meizike began to carefully look it over, and soon he put it down, nodding at Kane.
"So do you have any comments on the dungeon weโre about to clear?"
In response to Kaneโs question, Meizike simply shook his head and said, "No, I will prepare potions tailored to the dungeonโs conditions."
After hearing Meizikeโs words, Kane nodded.
Then he took out the team funds from the shared space equipment.
Taking out over a dozen Mist Coins from it, Kane handed them to Meizike and said, "In the future, deduct the materials for team-shared potions from this. Come to me if itโs not enough."
Since they had already discussed this before, Meizike did not delay. Kreya and the others beside him also felt this was right.
Looking out from the living roomโs floor-to-ceiling window, the night had already shrouded the outside, the cityโs lights subtly embellishing it.
"Then letโs eat first. Iโve prepared some local specialties today."
Hearing Kreyaโs words, everyone gathered at the dining table.
As soon as they sat down, Longbei couldnโt wait to take out a few bottles of hometown beer โLava Mountainโ from his space equipment and then distributed them to everyone.
Of course, Kane did not refuse, as he found this beer quite tasty, very fine and smooth.
Kreya began to bring out various dishes from the kitchen one after another, dishes that Kane had never seen before.
However, there was one dish he had tasted before; back at Uncle Gemuโs place, Auntie Amisha had made it for him.
Looking at this array of dishes, Kaneโs appetite increased.
Even though Kane couldnโt understand some of the ingredients used in the dishes, since he had a red soul, he wouldnโt be picky about eating.
"So, my friends, letโs have a toast first, for Kreyaโs culinary skill."
Longbei started again with his routine toast that he had every meal.
"Alright, then, for Kreya, cheers!"
"Cheers"
After drinking a large glass of beer, Kane couldnโt wait to try the spider legs. For this dish, he felt both hesitant and curious.
Using utensils, he peeled off the tough shell of the spider legs, revealing white flesh inside with an indescribable aroma.
Tearing off a piece, he put it in his mouth.
Chewing carefully, the texture of the spider legโs meat was somewhat similar to fish or crab meat he had eaten before, and after chewing, there was a sweet aftertaste.
Kane didnโt know what kind of spider this was.
However, its meat was quite delicious.
Suddenly, a piece of meat was placed into Kaneโs bowl.
"This is something I carefully prepared today, give it a try quickly."
Hearing Kreyaโs words, Kane began to examine the piece of meat on his plate.
He couldnโt tell what kind of ingredient it was from todayโs purchases, so he cut off a slice and put it in his mouth.
It was very chewy, and Kane kept chewing on the piece of meat, with each chew releasing a rich aroma.
When he finally finished the piece of meat, Kane felt his cheeks were a bit sore.
"What kind of meat is this?"
Hearing Kaneโs question, Kreya smiled and said, "Hammer Dragon tail meat."
Kane had read about Hammer Dragons; they were a beast often tamed by a certain alien race, used to repel external threats as well.
The illustrations of this dragon resembled the dinosaurs Kane had known before.
Except this dinosaur had an extremely long tail with a mass resembling a hammer at the end.
Judging by the name, one can tell what this dragon uses to attack.
So this is dinosaur meat?
It did have a unique flavor when eaten.
"How is it?"
"Itโs pretty good, just a bit tough to chew."
Receiving Kaneโs feedback, Kreya nodded happily.
After eating and drinking their fill, the day gradually came to a close.
After helping Kreya tidy up the table, Kane returned to his room.
Sitting at his desk, he picked up an envelope he had bought on the way today.
He began writing about his situation, words that needed to be placed in the envelope and sent to Uncle Gemuโs house.
Actually, if he used a teleportation array now, he could return to the old town without much hassle.
However, Kane still thought to clear the red label dungeon, advance to Silver, and then make a trip back.
Kane began writing fervently on the desk, and while doing so, he couldnโt help but think of his previous home.
Shaking his head, he cast those thoughts away.
After sealing the words he had written into the envelope,
Kane walked to the window, looking up at the moon in the sky.
Sigh
Tonightโs sky was somewhat dim, and the full moon, too, seemed rather cold.
