Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons-Chapter 716 - 632: Unknown Dark Sea

After several days of sea voyage, the ship was finally nearing the major turn on the map.

The reason why the Dark Servant had previously taken such a large detour was because the area ahead had overly severe ocean conditions.

Moreover, these waters would give the Dark Servant a sense of danger, forcing them to detour.

And Kane and his team had yet to reach this sea region, but even as they neared the edge, they could very clearly feel its treacherous nature.

On the ship's deck, everyone was gathered there, gazing at the distant sea.

Witnessing the power of nature.

The sea surface not far away was completely dark, covered by thick clouds that blocked out the sunlight.

In contrast, their side was bright and sunny, the difference exceedingly stark.

There was a very clear boundary line as if constantly warning outsiders not to step into this area, or bear the consequences.

And Kane and his team could only see from a distance how black and gloomy that sea area was, a cold, salty sea breeze blowing their way.

Due to the vastness of this sea area, Kane and his team even felt like it was two worlds forcibly merged together.

Perhaps this was two dungeons forcibly combined, and that sea area was very resistant.

Even before sailing in, the ship seemed to already feel the rocking, the waves madly surging, pounding the sides of the vessel.

Quite a bit of seawater had already begun splashing onto the deck, leaving a light sheen of water stains on the upper deck.

The dark clouds in the sky unleashed yellow lightning, crazily striking down, shining brightly in that dark area.

Deafening sounds came one after another, being transmitted over such a distance, showcasing how severe the conditions at the center were.

Before reaching this sea area, Kane wondered whether to cross directly through its center, given the detour was excessively large.

But seeing the current scene, he decided against it.

Their over 100-meter small ship simply couldn't endure such harsh sea conditions and might be capsized just upon entering the edge.

It might even be torn apart, who knows what whirlpools or stranger weather might exist inside.

"Yuyou, change the route, detour along the edge of this sea area, and follow the map's route," Kane ordered.

As Kane's command fell, the ship began to turn and then sailed towards the side.

Since they were always at the edge of this sea area, Kane and his team could clearly see the brutal conditions of the distant sea.

"Indeed, the force of nature is something we cannot contend with right now," Raphael said, sitting on the deck, feeling the rocking of the ship.

Kafka glanced at him and critiqued, "How come you act like it's your first time seeing such a situation? Haven't there been enough natural disasters in the dungeon?"

"I'm just speaking from experience. Do you understand the atmosphere, really a devil, lacking empathy," Raphael waved his hand disdainfully, unwilling to converse with Kafka.

The two began their routine bickering.

"Tch, lunatic," Kafka rolled his eyes, turning his head to find Finaris staring at him.

Her eyes were filled with curiosity and strangeness.

"What's up?"

Finaris, noticed her gaze was spotted, awkwardly turned away and scratched her cheek.

"If you have something to say, say it. Do I really look that strange?" Kafka said discontentedly.

"What's with this woman, dawdling around."

Hearing this, Raphael immediately leaned over, "I didn't expect you to have self-awareness, truly gratifying."

Seizing any opportunity to mock his dear friend.

"Get lost," Kafka kicked Raphael away.

Finaris awkwardly said, "As a Devil, don't you ever sign some weird contracts to deceive others' souls? Like, you know..."

Asking such a question was mainly because Finaris was too curious.

After all, Finaris came from a world with Demons, and she had seen Devils accordingly.

Since coming to the Mist World just a year or two ago, some thought patterns from childhood hadn't completely changed.

Furthermore, she used to be the God's Saintess in the dungeon, inherently antagonistic to these evil beings.

Even now, she was occasionally shocked by this strange world, despite fully preparing herself psychologically.

"Pfft! Hahaha, ahahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Kafka hadn't yet reacted, but Raphael beside him couldn't hold it, laughing crazily.

It attracted his teammates over, asking about the situation.

All the team members couldn't contain themselves, the Snake Woman and Star Symbol knew to turn away and stifle their laughter.

Yet the other two males had no intention of withholding, laughing wildly.

Even rolling on the deck, expressing their exaggeration.

Kafka closed his eyes entirely, veins throbbing, even his head was billowing with a blood-scented aura.

Then he said through gritted teeth, "That's racial discrimination, a stereotype, you know."

"Sorry, sorry." Finaris hurriedly waved her hands in apology.

Mona and Shire quickly led Finaris away and apologized, "Sorry, you know she's not a native of the Mist World."

Kafka and his team knew this, so although Kafka was angry, he didn't mind much, which was why Raphael and they laughed that way.

Watching the scene, Longbei couldn't help but say, "This Saintess looks quite different from when we first met her."

Upon hearing his words, everyone couldn't help but recall the scene when they encountered Finaris in the dungeon.

Cold and manipulative, with an attitude of seeing through everything and being indifferent.

Take a look now, gluttonous, playful, overly curious, and sometimes even mindless.

It must be said, the contrast is quite striking.

It's almost like the Wolf Monarch turning into a husky.

"This sea area is extremely dangerous," Kane kept his eyes on the pitch-black sea area not far away.

Nearby, Kreya and others turned their heads and looked at him strangely.

This sea area is dangerous, everyone knows that, so why emphasize it again?

At this moment, Kane explained, "It's not that the environment inside is dangerous, but there's a deadly threat emanating from it."

This was a premonition brought by Kane's Divine Martial Gaze.

Although this sea area is extremely dangerous, if it's for people like them at the gold level, it's actually not much.

To navigate this sea area and withstand the thunderstorms and waves is really quite easy.

To put it bluntly, as long as they have enough physical strength, they could even physically traverse the ocean.

Logically speaking, this ocean shouldn't give Kane such a strong sense of danger.

Unless there is an even more absurd danger inside, not just this apparent natural disaster.

Kreya and the others know that Kane possesses a skill to foresee danger, so they roughly understood what he meant.

After thinking for a while, Kane asked Youyou, "Youyou, bring out all the dungeons related to the ocean in our direction over the millennium, and compare them to the current situation to see if there's a match."

Upon hearing Kane's words, Youyou nodded, then her blue eyes turned red as she entered a working computation state.

A few seconds later, Youyou projected the information in front of everyone.

There are a total of three dungeons that match the current situation, but two are silver, and only one is a golden-level dungeon.

However, after looking at this golden dungeon's information, everyone's expressions were a bit peculiar because the information was too scarce. Logically, a completed dungeon should have very comprehensive data.

After all, to clear a dungeon, it takes a large amount of explorers to explore and consume its internal energy.

However, the information on this golden dungeon is indeed very scarce.

Because there is no record of completion, one day the dungeon just vanished suddenly.

After inspection, it was indeed manually cleared, just no one knows by whom, which results in the information being too scarce.

"Information so scarce means that practically none of the golden-level explorers attempting this dungeon made it out; they all perished inside," Kreya said.

After all, if they failed, they could still obtain a lot of information upon exiting the dungeon, instead of just having a vague idea like now.

All that's known is that this dungeon is entirely oceanic, with nearly no land, therefore it's hardly recommended for races or explorers not proficient in water.

Hence, this kind of dungeon is more appealing to those Ocean Races. It's known that many of them came specifically to explore this dungeon but ended up staying inside.

The only info brought out was from a team dispatched by the Mist Council, and this team's task was to collect rough information and withdraw without lingering.

"No way, I'm too curious, we have to think of a way to see what's inside," Kane said.

Although Kane said this, he had no intention to explore personally.

Magic Power surged from his hand, followed by the emergence of a massive mechanical construction on the deck, with a thick, long cannon barrel extending out.

Those still on the deck quickly gathered around, curiously watching this scene.

They now knew Kane could always produce some very impressive and distinct mechanical inventions.

Funa and Star Symbol sat nearby, entering a learning state, observing carefully.

First, Kane elevated the barrel and launched a rocket aiming at the sky.

Subsequently, the Intelligent Core detached mid-air, hovering at a great height through another structure.

The most unique feature of the Intelligent Core's external structure was its extremely long antenna used for signal reception.

Then Kane repeated the process, firing a shot towards the sea.

However, this shot launched a torpedo-shaped object akin to a submarine, which also contained an Intelligent Core, and had a very prominent antenna stretching out from the tail continually above the sea surface.

This was specifically designed for exploration.

Then Kane dispersed the massive mechanical construction.

Setting up a base for Youyou to receive signals.

Youyou then projected the underwater probe's exploration footage before everyone.

The group all gathered to watch.

Due to the probe's rapid speed, it soon completely left Kane and the others' visible range.

Fully entered that sea area, beginning to explore deeper.

"The energy interference is severe, and the energy intensity is rather strong."

Kane looked at the data fluctuations beside him and said.

Eventually, an object was detected.

Huge sea beasts appeared in the ocean or partially on the surface, occasionally swimming past the probe; perhaps the probe's size was just too trivial to pique these giant creatures' interest.

These sea beasts are immensely large, with none under a hundred meters; the shortest is bigger than the vessel Kane and them are on.

Finally, the probe continued forward.

"Look quickly, what is that!?" Raphael exclaimed in horror.
