Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 679 - 599: Misu Lahe, Entering the Dungeon

Misu Lahe is a city located in the west, yet not situated in the border areas.

This city lies on a plateau where people believe in traditions, although they also use some very convenient creations from the Mechanical Association. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Even though the people here follow traditions, they are not rigid; the Magic Power Express, street lamps, and convenient furniture can be seen here as well.

The adherence to tradition is evident in that almost all the buildings are wooden structures made from a unique type of plateau timber found here.

With a gray-black appearance, it is moisture-proof and fire-resistant, and the city hasn't experienced a fire in over a decade.

Kane and his companions walked out from the Teleportation Station located on the city's outskirts.

"There are quite a lot of people here," Longbei said as he looked at the somewhat crowded crowd around.

The teammates didn't answer but instead focused on following the flow of people to first leave this slightly crowded area.

Just as they stepped out of the crowd, they were greeted by a fragrant natural scent, but due to the climate, it naturally had a cold feeling.

The cold wind blew through, causing some who couldn't resist the chill to shiver slightly.

The Teleportation Station is adjacent to the city's edge region, roughly located at the entrance.

Looking up, in front of them, the city didn't have any structure resembling city walls but was an open modern town.

No traces of similar ruins or architectural remnants of city walls could be seen around.

This indicates that the city doesn't have a very ancient history, being built after the beginning of the era.

Having learned about the World Ring, Kane now has a certain understanding of the structure of most cities.

Each new era heralds the opening of the World Ring.

During the World Ring, nearly all cities located within it must have the structure of city walls, as it can be considered a wartime period.

Only after the beginning of the era when the city is built, it has already merged into the Mist World, indicating a peaceful and stable era.

Thus, whether a city has city walls can be used to identify the history of the city. However, this must be combined with the regional area you are in.

But this method of identification is not necessarily completely correct; it can only be said to be applicable to most cases.

Kane and his companions walked towards the city.

The buildings throughout the city are constructed with gray wood, having a style different from other places, an exotic charm.

Most buildings are diamond-shaped structures, formed by wooden cylinders intersected and embedded with wood.

On each building, there are long colored ribbons, and bells of various sizes hang under every house eaves.

As the plateau's breeze blows, these bells jingle, producing different pleasant sounds depending on their size.

The sounds produced by these bells are crisp and pleasant, not making people feel vexed; instead, they calm the mind.

It seems these bells have special crafting techniques, and not just any bell can be hung.

Surrounded by a large number of buildings, one can even hear these sounds from different bells, creating a beautiful melody.

"It should be winter now, right?" Longbei asked after feeling a chill wind blow by.

Hearing Longbei's question, Kane nodded, "That's right, it should count as winter now."

"But look."

Upon hearing Longbei's words, Kane looked and found something amiss; the regular citizens here were wearing thin cloth garments.

The people of the Three-Eyed tribe were wearing plain clothes in various shades, with long strips of ribbon around the waist and cuffs.

No matter the style, they all looked very thin. If it were Explorers, it might be understandable, but most of the residents here are ordinary people.

When the cold wind blew, they seemed to feel no chill.

"They are the Three-Eyed tribe of Misu Lahe. I've heard they have high cold resistance and an unparalleled high constitution among all races," Kreya said.

The residents here resemble humans, the only difference being a small seam on their forehead, which hides a single eye.

The Three-Eyed tribe is considered a rare race in the Mist World.

They are distributed very sparsely, with only two known cities: one is this Misu Lahe, and the other is in the distant north.

But it's said that the Three-Eyed tribe in the north has high heat resistance.

It's unsure if this information is accurate.

"What is this?" Lilu asked an elderly three-eyed woman selling items at a stall.

This stall sells delicious food.

Upon hearing Lilu's question, the elderly three-eyed woman kindly smiled and said, "This is a cloud ball, a delicious food of our race."

Curious, Kane and his companions came over and each bought a portion.

It was a pale yellow clustered fritter, with a crispy bite enclosing chunks of meat.

"The taste is quite good," Kreya praised after taking a few bites.

There were many other specialty foods around, and Kane and his companions ate their way along.

Experiencing the local lifestyle must start with local delicacies.

At this time, one could inexplicably experience the joy of being an Explorer, a career walking around the world.

During exploration, one travels to cities of various races, tasting the food there and admiring the scenery.

"Right, where is this dungeon again?"

Upon hearing Kane's question, Kreya looked around: "It should be over there; I see several golden Explorers heading in that direction."

Following Kreya's direction, Kane and his companions continued snacking as they walked that way.

Soon enough, they saw the Mist Council's flag and slightly scanned the area with Eagle Eye, discovering many Explorers reflecting golden light.

It seems the destination is indeed here.

Kane discovered that the buildings surrounding the dungeon's entrance were all various types of martial arts schools.

Passing by the martial arts schools' entrances and looking inside, one could see many large and small figures training in the training grounds.

The figures were wearing distinctive uniforms, which varied depending on the martial arts schools.

Seeing these uniforms reminded Kane that the clothes the residents wore here seemed like modified versions of martial arts uniforms.

Looking at these martial arts schools of various sizes, it indicated that the Three-Eyed Tribe was into martial arts.

"The Three-Eyed Tribe is a race that loves fist and foot skills, close combat. Their high constitution makes the tribe prone to produce various martial artists, and their Origin Skills are mostly related to fist and foot skills.

This can be considered a characteristic of their race.

I've heard that the Martial Refining Monarch has a disciple from the Three-Eyed Tribe."

Kreya introduced from the side.

Kane inexplicably felt a bit of affinity towards this race, and the eyes of Meizike beside him also lit up with interest.

After all, Meizike's profession includes being a boxer.

"Alright, let's head into the dungeon first."

Kane said as he walked towards the building that hung the flag of the Mist Council.

At the entrance of the building were two guards wearing council uniforms, who upon seeing Kane and his group, noticed the badge Kane held in his hand and nodded, making way for them.

They were now at the entrance of the golden-level dungeon, and there were no record-keepers, only two guards here just in case.

This was primarily to prevent some daring ordinary people or some ignorant kids from accidentally entering.

There was no need for record-keeping staff because every gold-level person was accounted for.

If a gold-level person died in a certain dungeon, it would be very easy to find out.

After all, Kane and his team had logged into the Explorer's House after their promotion to gold.

Many of the privileges associated with the gold level can only be used after logging in, which is quite convenient.

For instance, Kane and his team directly reached this city through the Teleportation Station of Lion City, without any intermediate transfers.

The distance wasn't considered a long-distance sea teleportation, so Kane and his team weren't overly disoriented, just slightly dizzy.

Afterwards, Kane and his team climbed to the second floor of the wooden building, where in the center, they saw the teleportation gateway to the dungeon.

Looking at the location of this entrance, Kane couldn't help but complain: "The position of this is too strange, being on the second floor of a residence."

This wooden building appeared to be at least fifty or sixty years old, with details showing the marks of time.

Yet the dungeon had only appeared a little over a year ago.

Though it appeared in a residence, fortunately, it was a gold-level dungeon and wouldn't attract ordinary residents to enter.

"Wasn't there news before about a dungeon entrance appearing in the branches of a tree," Kreya mentioned with a laugh next to him.

Kane chuckled, then led his teammates onto the Teleportation Array Disc.

With a flash of light, everyone vanished.

When their vision returned to light, they found themselves on a floating platform in the starry sky.

Looking at the gigantic and distant Star River, the floating platform beneath them felt like a grain of sand on the edge of the Star River.

Kane admired the beautiful sight of the Star River before him: "It feels like it's been quite some time since I've seen this scenery."

Hearing Kane's sigh, Lilu rolled her eyes.

"Alright, enough sighing, let's get going, aren't you pressed for time?" Kreya urged from the side.

"Let's go, let's go."

Kane said, then looked at the Mist Gate ahead, and headed straight in.

Kreya and the others followed closely behind.

As the sensation of passing through a thin membrane came, Kane found himself in a new space.

He surveyed the surroundings.

"It really is a straight path, you can see the endpoint at a glance."

Kreya and the others who had just squeezed in heard Kane's remark.

Looking around.

They could directly see the white Wall of Mist on both sides, although it was distant, it was visible, indicating the map's narrowness.

The area also lacked hills or woods, just a plain, with some low shrubs and grass spreading at their feet.

Kane activated Eagle Eye, looking far into the distance directly ahead.

He could faintly see the tail end of the Wall of Mist far away.

The dungeon was definitely not more than 30 kilometers in length.

Its width was no more than three or four kilometers.

Such dimensions truly qualify as a narrow map.

"You shouldn't be complaining, the enemy is right in front of you, isn't it?"

Kreya pointed ahead towards a large wooden arena a few hundred meters away.

This dungeon, despite having minimal randomness, still featured random elements, namely the varying distances between the three leaders.

Kane's group happened to encounter the first leader right after entering.

However, according to the dungeon's information, the enemy had no intention of stepping off the arena, as they sat in the middle of the large arena, staring at Kane and his team.

They extended a hand, beckoning Kane and his team with their fingers.

"Entering directly into combat? I haven't had my body in motion for a while; it's getting rusty." Longbei said excitedly.

Kane looked at the enemy not far away.

"Get ready for battle!"
