Skill Extraction: Exploring Dungeons

Chapter 925 800: Traversing Through the Mist

In front of them was a stretch of blinding white Mist, the whole world shrouded in it, nothing visible except that white haze.

The Mist wrapped around their bodies, pouring over their shoulders, flowing past their waists, curling around their feet.

Kane and the others stood within the white fog, only able to vaguely sense one another's presence.

"Everyone still okay? Everyone here?" Kane asked.

Even though he could faintly feel them, he still wasn't certain and needed to call out to confirm.

"Here."

"Me too."

......

Only after hearing everyone's responses did Kane relax and nod.

"Good. Let's keep moving forward."

As his words fell, they started walking ahead at a slow pace, pushing their senses to the limit.

But even with their senses stretched to the maximum, it was useless; this white Mist seemed to block their perception of the surroundings.

It always felt as if everything around them was blurry, or rather a complete jumble—clearly close, yet somehow far, always there and not there at the same time.

Even Kane could only make out Kreya and the others as vague silhouettes through the thin fog, and that was only when they were close enough.

So although they were moving forward, they stayed very close to one another.

Yet the farther they walked into the Mist, the more they could perceive, and the clearer those perceptions became.

This wasn't because the Mist had thinned, but because their own senses were expanding.

The newly formed "organ" from before was taking effect, gradually coming online and beginning to show its true capability.

As this "new organ" fully came into use, Kane turned his head to look to the side.

Kreya Longbei and the others beside him were also glancing around at each other.

They exchanged a round of smiles.

Even though the Mist was still thick around them, they finally had a sense of their surroundings.

No longer stumbling around like headless flies.

With this kind of sensing, they no longer just walked straight ahead, but wound left and right through the Mist.

This perception made it feel as if, in this expanse of white Mist, a path had appeared under their feet.

They could walk in other directions too, but it was like the bamboo by the roadside, or the flowers and grass along a street—no point in stepping off the path.

"You feel that? It's like there's something up ahead."

Kreya suddenly spoke.

"What? What did you sense?"

Aside from Longbei, whose perception range was the smallest, everyone could vaguely feel something different in the distance.

It was as if the road beneath their feet was about to reach some kind of station.

Next, they quickened their pace and sped through the Mist.

When they were just about to reach the destination, everyone stopped.

They stared at the layer of white fog in front of them.

It looked no different from the Mist all around them.

"I finally get why you have to have Synesthesia to move through the Mist."

Longbei muttered to himself.

Without Synesthesia, just this one stretch of Mist would be enough to drive someone mad.

In this Mist you'd completely lose all sense of any object around you, without the slightest sense of direction, flailing about blindly inside it.

Just like this veil of white in front of them—no different from the surrounding fog.

Kane slowly raised his hand and pushed it through the Mist.

His hand gradually passed out of the fog; he could feel the part from wrist to palm entering another space.

After sensing for a while, Kane drew his hand back out.

The others turned to look.

"Attacked?" Kreya asked with a frown.

From Kane's wrist to his palm was clad in a layer of metal, and right now that metal clearly showed all sorts of chaotic blade marks, as if hacked at repeatedly.

Kane studied the metal on his hand, then shook his head.

"It wasn't an attack. It's wind."

"Wind?"

Kane nodded firmly. "There's an extremely violent hurricane raging in that space. The gales inside are blasting around like mad, like blades formed from condensed Wind Element."

Hearing Kane's explanation, Longbei couldn't help scratching his head. "That's seriously dangerous."

At his words, Kane chuckled. "Relax. With your physique, that wind won't do a thing to you. Its attack power is about on par with someone just stepping into the Silver stage."

"Then I'll go in and scout first."

As soon as Kane spoke, Longbei braced himself defensively and plunged into the Mist ahead.

Not long after, Longbei's hand stuck back out and waved at Kane and the others.

Kane turned to the group behind him. "Let's go in too."

With that, he slipped through.

Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!

The moment he entered, fierce gales battered against him.

Wind hammered and scraped against the Armor on Kane and Longbei, raising a constant clanging rattle.

Kreya and the others came through behind them.

"Ah! Lilu is gonna get blown away!"

Lilu clung to Kreya's shoulders with both hands, her whole body swaying wildly with the wind.

She looked just like a strip of cloth hanging from Kreya's shoulders.

Kreya helplessly grabbed her, pulled her into her arms, then reached out and tapped her on the forehead.

"Still fooling around at a time like this, honestly."

"Heehee, I got rescued."

Everyone raised their heads to look at this space.

There was no such thing as a sun, nor any luminous celestial bodies.

The sky… wasn't really a sky.

Above their heads was a stretch of shattered, objectless Void.
