Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 546 - 490: 5 Dungeon Disc_2
Kane walked over, carefully examining and touching the trees, and crouched down to inspect the surrounding bushes and woods, then dug the ground to see.
Those following him, including Kreya, also found nothing unusual.
Only then did Kane explain: "Look at these marks on the tree trunk. They seem like animal scratches, but actually they aren’t."
"These marks were cut by someone using a knife when the tree was smaller. The cut was deep enough to be clearly visible even after the tree grew."
He pointed to the nearby trees: "It’s not just this one. All the trees around have them."
"These marks together actually show where a campsite was built, but it’s very ancient, perhaps two to three hundred years old."
It’s not just these marks—even the ground reveals some traces from past details.
Individually, these traces aren’t peculiar, but when combined at one location, it confirms that someone definitely camped here hundreds of years ago.
Finally, Kane clapped his hands and said: "It was so long ago that possibly some explorers passed by and left camping traces here."
He then continued leading Kreya and the others forward. He came to inspect out of curiosity.
However, they hadn’t gone far before they saw another set of camping traces.
Kane examined them closely with Eagle Eye instead of approaching.
He realized that was also an area where people camped, roughly decades ago.
Kane withdrew his gaze and kept moving forward.
Though the traces separated by a century may not signify much, Kane remained vigilant since their destination was nearby.
Before long, they saw more camping traces visible even to Kreya and the others.
Based on the traces, this camping site was roughly from 10 years ago.
This definitely made Kane grow more alert.
"Everyone, stay alert. We’re certainly not the first ones here; many groups have come before us.
Just from the traces, there are three locations already; let alone this vast area, surely there are unknown traces from over hundreds of years."
Kane was forced to suspect since these camping traces were distributed around their destination.
Given their proximity, how could they not connect the dots?
They maintained their cautiousness, continuing forward.
As they approached, the Golden Bridge Ancient Coin in their hands began to glow with a golden light.
They continued, and the light flickered brighter.
Finally, they saw ahead a stone slope, where a circular stone slab on the ground was glowing.
Seeing this, Kane placed the Golden Bridge Ancient Coin inside his Space Equipment.
As the coin entered the Space Equipment, the circular stone slab immediately stopped glowing, becoming ordinary.
Only then did Kane and the others approach carefully to inspect.
They examined around the slab thoroughly.
Yet they found nothing unusual, not even an underground hollow.
If the circular slab hadn’t glowed, Kane and his group might not have noticed anything strange when passing by.
Kane turned to his teammates and said: "Stay alert; I’m going to take out the ancient coin again."
With that, Kane slowly reached into his Space Equipment and retrieved the Golden Bridge Ancient Coin.
As the coin reappeared, the circular stone slab shone again, its light intertwining with that of the coin.
Holding the coin, Kane inspected thoroughly with no detectable oddities.
After examining, Kane cautiously tossed the coin toward the slab.
The coin didn’t fall but instead drifted toward the circular slab with Kane’s motion.
Until the two were perfectly aligned.
The light grew so intense that the slab and coin became indistinguishable.
The light divided into five groups, spreading evenly around.
The light groups turned into circular discs.
Then the light began to weaken until it vanished.
Only then did Kane and the others see the central circular stone disc and the coin had disappeared.
What appeared were five large circular stone discs, identical to those they used to enter the dungeon.
Only they were slightly smaller, seemingly for single-person use.
"Dungeon?" Longbei’s voice carried doubt.
Looking at the situation, Kane slowly shared his thoughts: "If these teleportation discs lead to the dungeon, it might be the dungeon where Qiling and others are."
According to the Golden Bridge Ancient Coin, it requires a Silver level, preferably a powerful one within the Silver tier, to receive guidance.
Hence, this might be a Silver-level dungeon, potentially the highest tier in Silver."
"There are 5 teleportation stone platforms here, are they 5 different dungeons or did they appear because there are 5 of us?" Kreya asked.
Kane shook his head: "Not sure, but one stone slab surely can’t hold 5 people, even two would be cramped."
"Let me try standing on the slab alone first."
Kane had strong survival capabilities, so he decided to try first.
With that, he stood on the slab in front of him.
Nothing happened.
"Does it not work? Maybe we need 5 people standing on the slabs together? You try standing on them one by one."
After Kane spoke, Longbei stood on it first, but nothing happened.
Then Kreya and Lilulu tried.
Still no reaction.
Lastly, it was Meizike’s turn.
When Meizike stood on the slab, it began glowing and started rotating.
However, it didn’t immediately teleport Kane and the others, giving them a chance to reconsider.
"Looks like indeed 5 people are needed. Everyone stay safe, prioritize survival, hold the Furnace Stone tightly," Kane instructed his teammates.
With that, he took a Furnace Stone from his Space Equipment and held it firmly.
The others did the same.
In a flash of light.
Kane and his group vanished.
The teleportation stone discs beneath them disappeared without a trace as well.
A gentle breeze blew. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
As if nothing had ever happened here, as if Kane and his team never came.
