Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 711 - 627: Action!

At this moment, Kane and their caravan were traveling through a wilderness.

Once they left the small peaks and woodland surrounding the World Wall, they immediately entered a barren wasteland.

Moreover, this wilderness was exceptionally vast, with no end in sight.

Perhaps this was truly the place where the World Ring and the Mist World merged.

The land here was exceedingly barren, let alone trees, only a few hardy weeds could be seen.

Upon entering this wasteland, they almost never saw any other forces' teams again.

Previously, in the forest and woodland, they could still spot some teams far away around them.

As the distance grew, the World Ring was so vast that even if thousands of forces spread across this area, it wouldn't stir any ripple.

After entering this wilderness, everyone got past their initial excitement and turned their vehicles from personal vehicles into motorhomes for each of the teams.

"Pair of twos! In such a large World Ring, who knows how long it will take to reach the destination," Amis said with several sticky notes on his horns, then played a card from his hand.

Elf Chis lifted the sticky note covering his eyes: "No way. How could we give up such an advantage? The time on the journey is totally worth it."

"King bomb, I win," Mage Rock played his last card, then picked up the sticky notes next to him and stuck them on the other two's faces again.

"Compared to other explorer forces, we can say we've staked a territory within the World Ring, which is quite an advantage. Let's hope the journey will be safe so we can reach sooner."

Hearing Rock's words, the two nodded in agreement. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

At this time, the Berserker driving ahead suddenly turned his head and shouted, "The caravan has stopped."

Kane himself also began to slow down, gradually bringing the motorhome to a stop.

"Why did we stop suddenly? Did something happen outside?" Amis, accompanied by a few others, got off the motorhome.

As the leading Kane stopped, the other vehicles behind followed suit.

However, they didn't know why, so they all got off their vehicles.

Seeing Kane seemingly waiting for something, they walked over.

Kane looked at the gathering crowd and said, "Let's wait here for a bit. Our guiding comrades are about to arrive."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dozen Black Mist entities flew out from behind a small hill, rapidly charging toward them.

Seeing this, the people behind Kane immediately became alert, going into combat stance.

Seeing the situation, Kane quickly reassured, "Don't get excited, everyone. They are also members of the Guild, just a bit shy usually."

Upon hearing Kane's words, everyone finally lowered their weapons.

There was no other way; the Dark Servants were known to be the most reclusive among all of Kane's subordinates.

They only took orders from Kane, and no other commands worked on them.

During leisure time, you would barely see their figures, and they had never been seen showing up in the Guild Hall.

Therefore, it was very normal that these explorer members had never seen them before.

A dozen Black Mist entities landed in front of Kane, then condensed into a group of girls wearing white masks.

"My lord!"

Kane nodded, "Since we've gathered, then let's start leading the way and reach the territory as quickly as possible."

The leading Dark Servant nodded, then stood still.

The remaining dozen Dark Servants all transformed into Black Mist, striking into Kane's body.

The people behind widened their eyes at this scene.

Though surprised, they kept silent and refrained from asking too much.

Kane turned around and said to everyone, "Alright, let's go back, everyone. We need to continue our journey."

Hearing Kane's words, everyone immediately dispersed and returned to their vehicles.

As Kane's motorhome set off, everyone quickly started their vehicles to follow behind.

Inside the vehicle, besides Kane and Kreya, there was one more member.

Kane looked at the Dark Servant in front of him and asked, "Come on, mark the safer routes here, and by the way, explain the situation along the way. Let's make some preparations."

The map he held was precisely the one granted by Mist. Due to the actions of the Dark Servants facing him, a white line had appeared on it, showing a detailed route extending from the territory's edge.

When zoomed in, these white lines showed numerous forks, though they were cut off midway. In the end, only one extended all the way to their current region.

It seemed that along the way, the Dark Servants had taken quite a few wrong paths.

Not to mention the line wasn't straight at all; it was twisted and even looped a large arc somewhere to pass through.

Upon hearing Kane's words, the Dark Servant pointed at their current area, then began narrating from the route they had taken in reverse.

"Leaving the wasteland, we would enter a region where many forces intersect. While passing through here, we encountered scouts from at least six different forces.

Due to these circumstances, we didn't explore much."

"So we better hurry through here, or we might get caught up in their conflict."

Kane looked at the area the Dark Servant mentioned. Honestly, this region was so close to the wilderness that once you left the wilderness, you would almost immediately enter their respective territories.

In other words, they are probably the first native force to come into contact with the Explorer.

They are so close to the boundary, they will basically be the first to have conflicts with the Explorer.

Kane felt that it was unlikely they would get involved in battles between local forces because these forces probably couldn't sustain a fight.

The Explorers who first entered their territories would be enough trouble for these forces.

Forget about warring with each other or causing trouble for Kane and his group, without a gold-level force to defend themselves, they might as well be praying for good luck.

The Dark Servant continued, "After passing through this area, we will reach a relatively safe region where no intelligent life forces have been seen.

But there are many Magic Beasts, some of which give us a very dangerous feeling. Due to the vastness of this forest, going around it would take a considerable amount of time. So we came straight through, luckily we didn't encounter too powerful Magic Beasts on the way."

"Further ahead is an ocean that practically divides this area vertically. We successfully crossed this ocean using vessels granted by His Majesty."

This massive arc exists because a large area in the middle feels extremely dangerous, and the sea conditions are perilous, so we went around it from the side."

Looking at the map with its gray haziness, this entire arc-shaped area is filled with ocean waters.

Without any surrounding reference points, just a narrow visible area, it's hard to imagine what shape this ocean might take.

If the range is extensive, from here, this sea area may divide the upper and lower regions of this area.

It can be seen that, no matter what, the lower area is far more chaotic than the upper area.

This ocean barrier naturally hinders some of the chaos from extending upwards; even if it does extend, the chaos would be slowed.

Though there will surely be explorers like Kane and his group who cross the ocean to seek better development on the other side.

But in the end, they are a minority. Most explorers will adhere to proximity, fighting it out in this region.

Not all explorer forces can fill their logistical supplies in one go. If they can't sustain themselves through battle, they have to find a way to retreat.

After crossing this ocean, it's a straight path, directly reaching Kane and his group's destination.

"This straight line is because this large area is snow-covered, the environment is extremely harsh and unsuitable for intelligent life to survive."

"So we went straight through this area, and almost didn't see any intelligent life along the way. Except for the terrain being unsafe, there were no other downsides."

Kane looked at the final straight line, this snowy expanse was excessively large, unknown in what shape it existed.

Without knowing other ranges, this straight line could just be considered the width, this snowy area's width is comparable to that of the ocean.

If this snowfield is large enough, it becomes another natural barrier.

Then perhaps the final region where they are located would be less likely to be disturbed by other explorers.

However, conclusions can't be drawn hastily, as their understanding of this area is minimal at present.

The clues known now can't support any hypothesis.

Better not to think about these things, reaching the Knight Territory as quickly as possible is the most important task.

Only with a safe territory can development proceed rapidly, not to mention that the Knight Territory has long been well cultivated.

With the Platinum Country as the supply base, Kane has prepared so much there, waiting for them to settle in.

After learning the route information, Kane nodded to the Dark Servant.

The Dark Messenger then turned into Black Mist and entered Kane's body.

"Yoyo, notify everyone, start moving at full speed now."

After Kane finished speaking, Yoyo's voice came from the back of the RV, relaying the message for full speed ahead, which immediately began accelerating forward.

"It seems the route target has been set, the President is certainly reliable." Kafka said, sitting in Raphael's hovering sports car.

"Of course, I said at the time that joining the President's force would surely achieve something, you didn't believe me then. Now you see my foresight, don't you?"

Hearing Raphael's words, Kafka disdainfully waved his hand, "Alright, alright, I know you're great, your foresight is far-reaching, okay? No need to keep bringing it up after so long."

It was Raphael who suggested joining Kane and his group's force and elaborated on the reasons for doing so.

But Kafka and the others didn't understand and weren't too agreeable, as Kane and his group only seemed powerful to them at the time.

However, since Raphael was their captain and the one who came up with ideas, they eventually agreed.

Though this captain of theirs had all sorts of odd quirks, he was reliable when it came to major decisions.

Later they were grateful, glad they agreed. If they had missed the opportunity to join Kane's force, knowing later would have made them regret deeply.

Suddenly Raphael said, "Didn't you learn to drive already? Why are you still sitting in my car? I saw you went to the President for a custom one."

"You mean you're kicking your teammate out? You're kicking your childhood brother out?"

"Don't say it, don't say it, enough already."

Hearing Kafka's words, Raphael helplessly waved his hand.

Definitely lacking confidence in himself, afraid of embarrassing himself under so many watching eyes and slowing down the team's progress, that would be disgraceful.
