Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 632 - 555: Piled-Up Information

Inside the hollowed majestic peaks, Kane and the others stood at the entrance, observing all around.

Looking at such a large space, Kane thought for a moment and said to the group, "Let's spread out and investigate, see if there are any clues or leftover items, but be careful."

Everyone nodded at Kane's suggestion.

At this moment, Meizike took out several vials of potion from the space equipment and distributed them to everyone present.

"Magic Sensitivity Potion, it can help your senses better perceive items with magic energy around you."

This was the latest potion created by Meizike, inspired by Eagle Eye, assisted by Kane's new skills.

The group took the potion and swallowed it directly.

Afterward, both their perception and vision were enhanced, and what they could see became much more.

Faint magical particles floating in the air were clearly visible, even various buildings and magical patterns etched on the surrounding stone walls could be seen.

These magical patterns were densely spread across the entire mountainside, especially the closed top simulating the black night sky.

These magical patterns were mostly hidden, yet now they were so clearly reflected in everyone's eyes.

What does this mean? Drinking this potion essentially grants a certain level of detection means, and it's energy vision.

Kane couldn't help but give Meizike a thumbs up, while Longbei went further: "Strong indeed, good brother."

With the effects brought by this potion, the crew could better search for items that might otherwise be overlooked. Then everyone dispersed, each heading in the direction they were interested in.

Kane casually picked a direction where no one had gone.

The architecture of the Moon's Children was linked together by some stairs and ramps, each building or cluster of buildings located on a stone platform on the mountainside.

He first arrived at the only intact building in his chosen direction.

The door at the entrance was long broken, with only one intact doorframe remaining.

Kane bent slightly to squeeze through from outside.

Looking at the size of the doorframe, it seemed that the childlike size of the Moon's Children was not due to degradation in bloodline, but their original size.

Entering the building, energy vision allows him to see various magical patterns etched on the surrounding stone walls, some of which Kane could discern were for warmth and insulation.

This indicates that the magical patterns inside the house were conducive to living, suggesting this was just a regular residence.

Besides these, the only things visible in the room were stone furniture connected with the house walls.

Apart from these, the space inside this room was empty, with only scattered grains of ash stone underfoot, indicating most furniture had turned to ashes with time.

Thousands of years is too long a time, ordinary items can't withstand such a test of time. The preserved stone buildings owe most of their endurance to the magical patterns on them.

The whole house, aside from those magical patterns, holds no other valuable objects.

Kane walked out, strolling through various types of not fully collapsed buildings and some intact parts, searching for possible existing items.

However, just like the intact building, everything was just as empty, while some stone furniture still remained, but nothing special other than functional patterns on them.

This ruin's existence was simply too ancient, with thousands of years having passed by.

A millennium can erase too much of anything.

Even the surrounding magical patterns show large areas of absence in many places. Though most magical patterns can be seen with energy vision, they've long ceased to function.

Kane studied the substantial patterns, noting that they are still capable of absorbing magic mainly due to their high level of magic mastery, and partly due to the carving technology.

This indicates that besides magic, the Moon's Children possessed remarkable carving skills, evident from the sculptures and intricate carvings left behind on various buildings.

Considering the racial physique of the Moon's Children, could they have such a hobby?

As Kane wandered around, he ended up walking alongside Kreya.

"How's it going, Kreya, have you found anything?"

Kreya shook her head in response to Kane's question, "Too much time has passed, except for some stone objects, almost everything has turned to ashes."

After several rounds with no gains, the two headed back to the center, preparing to wait for the others' search results there.

Before long, the others arrived, but judging from their looks, they seemed to have found nothing.

As they exchanged information, they realized no one had discovered anything of value, or rather, what was found was similar.

It did not align with the goals Kane and the crew were searching for.

Giant Wood Elder said, "Too much time has passed here, no Moon's Children have stayed here, and there's been no maintenance of anything, making it nearly impossible to find anything of value."

These words were indeed true, both Kreya and Lilulu had used their authorities to scan the surroundings, without seeing anything akin to a soul body or similar entity.

Kane thought for a moment, then looked at Mo Yi and asked, "Mo Yi, is there any useful information in your memory inheritance, or any kind of hidden or unlocking magic, preferably one that only the Moon's Children can use?"

Since specific hidden information does exist in the ruins, the best way to unlock them would be a magic exclusive to the Moon's Children, serving as the optimal key.

Hearing Kane's words, Mo Yi closed his eyes and meticulously searched through his inheritance.

"Yes, Your Majesty, let me learn a bit."

With this, Mo Yi closed his eyes again, maintaining his floating form, with silver-gray particles around him slowly swirling and twisting.

Meanwhile, Kane and the others waited quietly beside him.

Not long after, Mo Yi opened his eyes again.

The silver-gray particles surrounding him glimmered, following the movements of her hands, and converged in the sky into the shape of a crescent moon.

The crescent moon began to emit a glow resembling that of moonlight, a cool and elegant light illuminating the surroundings.

Kane and the others could feel that this moonlight provided them with a mental state recovery, but besides that, it had no other functions.

It should be a very basic spell.

As the light illuminated the surroundings. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Some patterns that were only visible with energy vision before, began to shine and quickly connected and transmitted to each other.

These glowing energy lights continuously followed the magic network around them, reaching into the night sky at the top of the space, and then gathered into the false crescent moon.

The light of the crescent moon intensified.

A shiny treasure bead floated down from the crescent and gently landed in Mo Yi's hand.

Then all the special effects vanished, returning to the most normal state.

The treasure bead also lost its glow, revealing a densely packed center, which turned out to be a piece of space equipment.

Mo Yi slowly reached his hand into the bead, gently took out its contents, and soon had everything piled up beside him.

They were books made from various ancient papers, varying in size and thickness.

Kane picked up a book to examine it, noticing the paper-making technique bore little difference from now.

The reason these survived until now might be because they were stored in space equipment.

That means thousands of years have passed without any progress in paper-making technology.

Has the entire Platinum Country fallen into a stagnant state?

These tiny details can restore and reflect that the rule of the King of Platinum was not as good as the poems say.

"Can't understand it." Longbei looked at a book and said.

It's not that the content inside was obscure, but rather in a literal sense; Kane and the others couldn't recognize the script at all.

Actually, it's not just these books, but many places in this dungeon that have written records they didn't understand.

There's no way, after all, this dungeon hasn't truly been controlled by mist, turning into a real dungeon.

Only if truly controlled by mist, turning into a real dungeon, can they use the exploratory privileges of the mist to get some textual translations inside the dungeon.

The dungeon they've entered now only has voice translations, not written ones, allowing them to at least communicate without a language barrier.

However, just by looking at Mo Yi and the expressions of the two plant people, it could be deduced that they understood the script.

No choice, Kane and the others could only sit idly by and continue to wait.

Waiting for the three to roughly go through the pile of books to see if there's any information they need.

...

About a day passed.

Now, only Kane and Kreya remained waiting outside.

As for Longbei, Lilu, and Lulu, they had entered the Guild Hall to rest; Kane and Kreya had already rested.

Kane lay with his head on Kreya's lap, sound asleep, covered by a blanket Kreya put over him.

Meanwhile, Kreya was fully concentrated on an object in her hand, the latest version of a gaming device Kane had reconstructed.

From the previous black and white pixels, it turned into colored pixels, capable of constructing more complex games.

At this time, there was a flicker beside her, and Lilu appeared on the spot, initially a little drowsy, having just woken up, but immediately noticed the object in Kreya's hand.

Instantly appearing on Kreya's shoulder with a flash, Lilu, eyes wide open, watched Kreya play.

"Sister Kreya has already reached this level, how did you pass that point just now? Lilu couldn't find a way out."

Lilu pleaded with Kreya to tell her the strategy; Kreya actually didn't quite understand it either—it was Kane who secretly taught her.

At this moment, Longbei and Meizike's figures appeared beside them, having also come out of the Guild Hall.

Meizike handed the drinks in his hand to the newly awakened Kane and Kreya.

"Thank you." Kane got up and took one.

Longbei looked at the other three, still flipping through books, and asked, "Haven't they finished reading yet?"

"Almost, they're nearly done." Kane said.

Although the storage space within the treasure bead wasn't large, it was filled with books, a large pile of books the three had to skim through for almost an entire day.

After all, some important information needed to be thoroughly read.

Mo Yi had complained more than once about his ancestors' strange recording methods.

Clearly writing about a piece of information, it would suddenly drift off for various reasons.

For example, while writing about a certain magic requires the core of a particular fruit tree, it would suddenly shift to how delicious the fruit of that tree is, then transition to how to make delicious food with it.

Such situations were numerous, causing great difficulty for the three in their reading.
