A couple of days in the past, when Nieusel gave the gamers the home, he gave them a “key” into the native nightmare at Nefertari’s instruction.
The gamers needed to lock the door earlier than mattress and tie a strip of material across the left ankle. This was the important thing to the “Sporeggar Mill” nightmare.
Sure.
The native nightmare of this underground metropolis was known as Sporeggar Mill.
It was a nightmare on a distorted degree, and its content material leaned towards horror and puzzle. The puzzle on this horror recreation had many traps laid in it. Think about the sport that abruptly made the participant fall into the crypt to loss of life whereas strolling or investigating one thing, or the video games that killed the participant when their consideration was captured elsewhere for some time.
Worse nonetheless, the gamers weren’t kicked out of the nightmare instantly after dying thrice in it.
It had a novel exit level, and the dungeon challenger should go to that location to exit. Suuankou solely discovered concerning the exit level on the second day.
Lin Yiyi’s group spent eight hours in a row on the primary day of adventuring, and they didn’t get up till six within the morning.
Though they have been within the underground world the place the solar couldn’t attain, Mr. Ray dutifully woke them up.
On this dungeon occasion, which elevated the erosion fee by 1% each time the challenger died, Lin Yiyi’s erosion fee had risen by 17% earlier than getting into a chase or encountering an enemy with an HP bar.
Jiu Er’s erosion fee had elevated by 15%. She was at present the quickest progressing challenger. On the similar time, she even advised the remainder of the group concerning the map.
That was as a result of Jiu Er was a participant who relied on intuition. She had averted many pitfalls subconsciously. This additionally triggered her to skip many traps with out noticing them.
Nonetheless, Suuankou’s erosion fee rose by 31%.
This was not as a result of Suuankou was extra silly than the opposite two. Quite the opposite, he is perhaps the very best participant at deciphering the horror puzzle among the many gamers. In the identical eight hours, he didn’t die twice on the similar place regardless of the excessive loss of life rely. It meant one thing that was sufficient to show his power.
However, he had a foul behavior which was his curiosity.
Even with out the blessing of the talent [Skillful Hands] and [Eagle Eye], his eyes have been sharp. Coupled with being accustomed to this space, Suuankou may all the time detect one thing that is perhaps harmful if he investigated it on the first second.
But, he couldn’t resist his curiosity.
So, he went to check his limits anyway.
The end result was his loss of life.
25 of his 31 deaths occurred on this method.
He wouldn’t step on the mushrooms he detected. Nonetheless, if he guessed that “Teemo [1] might need buried a mushroom someplace”, however he was not 100% positive, he needed to step on it with out scanning. If he didn’t discover it, he would all the time really feel that the environment have been harmful and uncomfortable.
Nonetheless, it was nonetheless uncomfortable after stepping on them.
Thus, Suuankou’s progress didn’t advance a lot, however he nearly tried out all of the loss of life traps.
This was additionally why Lin Yiyi and Jiu Er didn’t wish to progress but. Anyway, Suuankou liked the landmines a lot. They would favor Suuankou to progress for some time first.
With the technique he summed up, the 2 may keep away from some erosion.
In spite of everything, it value Annan’s affection ranking to scrub the erosion fee to zero.
Though they’d been saving their affection ranking, they felt just like the premium foreign money of the sport.
If the Mist Continent have been a cell recreation, then Lin Yiyi would pay to get these affection rankings instantly.
Nonetheless, the issue was that they may not deposit their cash for this recreation!
To keep away from a meaningless improve in erosion fee, they uniformly organized Suuankou to discover the nightmare first. He was tasked to establish the nightmare’s mechanism after which come again and inform the remainder of the gamers later.
Nonetheless, they stated that the youthful brother was meant to be sacrificed.
It was nonetheless a bit of distressing to have the youthful brother to comb the landmines.
It simply so occurs that Nieusel is so enthusiastic. Why don’t I ask him, an area, if there’s any technique for reference?
“…For instance, the place are the traps? The place are the extra handy gadgets?”
Lin Yiyi requested with a smile, “You might have been right here for therefore lengthy, so it’s best to have some suggestions, proper?”
“It appears that you’ve actually entered the nightmare.” Nieusel touched his face, a bit of shocked.
Do you even suspect that we received’t enter the nightmare in any respect?
Lin Yiyi resisted her want to complain.
The place is essentially the most primary belief between individuals?
—I’ve advised you clearly. We got here right here to sort out the dungeon occasion! So that you didn’t imagine us in any respect!
“Don’t be mad,” Nieusel noticed Lin Yiyi’s face flip bitter and apologized instantly, “I’m just a bit shocked…
“In spite of everything, Sporeggar Mill has a fame for being a ‘huge nightmare with nearly no answer’. Many monks got here right here to beat it however couldn’t work out a manner.
“Though the nightmare was solely on the degree of Silver Rank at first, this nightmare had a hard attribute. It’s unimaginable to give up even after dying many occasions within the nightmare, which instantly makes those that come to unravel the nightmare die within the nightmare as a substitute. In the long run, the nightmare vary expands and has superior to the Distorted degree. Initially, the nightmare solely encompasses the Black Mushroom Mill, however now it has expanded to greater than half of town.”
Up to now, nobody had cleared the nightmare.
Though it was not really easy to set off the important thing to getting into this nightmare, it was nonetheless doable to set off it.
A nightmare that the challenger would respawn instantly after loss of life and wouldn’t be kicked out regardless of what number of occasions the challenger died. For irrational mortals, it meant loss of life as soon as they entered it by mistake. Though the individual may escape if he simply stayed nonetheless and waited till daybreak or he may escape at a particular location, mortals who couldn’t keep rationality of their desires should not give you the chance to take action.
“So, we don’t maintain information right here.” When Nieusel stated this, he couldn’t assist however smile, “In spite of everything, we don’t have our personal monks right here.”
“…Oh, proper.” Lin Yiyi reacted.
This was the deityless Underground Federation.
Whether or not it was the Mysterious Woman or the Silent Woman, there was no shrine for them right here. This meant that there could be no monks within the underground world who “see the purification of nightmares as an honor and responsibility”.
Those that got here right here to purify the nightmare will need to have sought power from the nightmare.
When a nightmare problem was overly severe, nobody would trouble to unravel it.
It was as a result of it was “not price it.”
“Haven’t you ever entered this nightmare earlier than?” Lin Yiyi requested.
Nieusel shrugged, “Will you cost in opposition to the artillery?
“I don’t assume I’m extra competent or skilled than these seniors who died on this nightmare. They’ve already verified for us with their lives that this nightmare is unsolvable. Then, I’ll naturally not make any try.
“That is the results of respecting them. As an alternative of instantly purifying nightmares, controlling the unfold of the ‘key’ will likely be more practical. If you go to different underground cities, you’ll step by step perceive this. There will likely be a number of tough nightmares in every metropolis, and even some cities are named after nightmares… akin to us.”
This good-looking and tall man with a mild persona waved his palms. Then, he stated these merciless phrases casually, “With out the priest going ahead to purify the nightmare, we will solely select to compromise and coexist with the tough nightmare. The excellent news is that our Sporeggar Mill’s [key] shouldn’t be really easy to set off.
“These younger people who find themselves stuffed with ardour however can’t see actuality clearly and dream of turning into a transcender… Solely they may attempt to enter essentially the most harmful nightmare the place the ‘key’ is instantly disclosed to the general public. That’s as a result of they can not get keys to the nightmare that may be purified extra simply. Thus, that is their solely alternative left.
“—Every metropolis has distinctive guidelines. That is our life and the explanation why many townspeople relocate.
“In fact, that is additionally the life we select.” The person paused and smiled wryly.
