Suuankou steadily opened his eyes.
With the additional enchancment in his Agility attribute, the sense of vertigo each time Suuankou entered a nightmare steadily ceased to have an effect on him.
After the dizziness steadily dissipated, Suuankou realized that he had appeared in a forest exterior the town.
The timber within the underground world seemed bizarre. Beneath the sunshine shining down from the dome partitions, the twisted and deformed timber had no leaves however have been coated with damp moss. They mimicked the looks of monsters with wood skins.
Suuankou was in the midst of this “forest”.
There was a path beneath his toes, winding its approach into the forest’s depths.
A younger woman’s delicate voice may very well be heard from the 4 o’clock route in Suuankou’s ears.
“The bystander is not any totally different from the perpetrator. Each needs to be scorned.”
Then, a reminder of the facet mission appeared in entrance of Suuankou.
[Enter Sporeggar Mill.]
Right now, bullet texts flashed in entrance of his eyes.
The gamers gloated and clicked into the stream after they once more noticed somebody difficult [Nightmare: Sporeggar Mill].
The misleading and deceptive dungeon was not pleasant to those that challenged it however was undoubtedly joyful to those that spectated it.
“—Ah! Brother Koutsu, what a uncommon buyer!”
“—Didn’t you say that you simply’re obnoxious with this? Has your child been born now?”
[TN: It’s an analogy to mock someone in Chinese culture, hinting that Brother Koutsu has been stuck with this nightmare so long that his son was born.]
“—I’m open for enterprise. Will Brother Koutsu die 18 occasions right this moment? The wager shall be Chaoshan Beef Scorching Pot! I’m activating the betting desk within the discussion board. Come test it out in case you’re free!”
[TN: Chaosan [1] is a location, presumably referring to a cooking type.]
What the hell! Fuck you!
If it weren’t for my lack of ability to take part within the betting desk, I might maneuver the leads to my favor!
Suuankou murmured in his coronary heart however didn’t cease his advancing tempo.
As an alternative of strolling ahead, he rotated with out trying again.
Anyway, he was considerably acquainted with it after dying so many occasions.
After all, he had memorized the beginning a part of advancing within the dungeon.
*Respiration out* “…ha… ha… ha…”
The sound of heavy respiratory and the clatter of trainers onto the moist mud steadily grew to become clearer in entrance of Suuankou.
Suuankou was unfazed. He simply walked ahead silently.
Earlier than the person got here into Suuankou’s field of regard, he slipped and fell closely on the mud.
Suuankou took two steps ahead and noticed a dark-skinned man in outdated leather-based armor with grey sideburns fall to the bottom. His arms have been soiled when he fell to the bottom.
“Jo… Job?”
After seeing Suuankou, the messenger seemed up in shock with a touch of pleasure on his face, “Come right here, give me a hand. I’m exhausted.”
So Suuankou walked over indifferently.
“—Yeah, our Brother Messenger fell to the bottom once more.”
“—Brother Messenger fell earlier than taking many steps this time.”
“—That is known as respecting the outdated and loving the younger, and let the eldest brother take two steps much less.”
“—He’s most likely the Diving [2] Champion.”
“—It’s okay. Brother Koutsu didn’t stand nonetheless and await the messenger to return.”
“—It could possibly’t be helped. The messenger runs slower than Brother Koutsu strolling.”
The bullet texts mocked in unison.
In spite of everything, Suuankou had died so many occasions, which meant that the spectators additionally witnessed it an equal quantity of occasions.
The gamers have been smug on the primary day as a result of they didn’t understand how difficult the dungeon was and didn’t activate the live-streaming function.
However after the three gamers saved dying all evening lengthy, they realized that this dungeon occasion was advanced. Then, they entered the dungeon with the reside broadcast switched on.
The opposite gamers had additionally watched the method for a very long time and had already memorized the method for the primary section.
They naturally knew that they might not encounter this messenger in the event that they walked straight ahead after they first entered the nightmare.
The challenger needed to stand nonetheless and wait for 3 minutes earlier than the messenger rushed over from behind, panting.
However it doesn’t matter what time or place the dungeon challenger encountered the messenger, the messenger was sure to fall down within the challenger’s sight.
Afterward, the messenger would attain out and ask the participant to drag him up.
There have been even a number of loss of life flags hidden right here.
[Death flag: Sequence that leads to death.]
If the dungeon challenger went straight ahead, he would arrive within the “Maze Forest” with out a clear information of route. The ferocious underground beasts would assault those that strayed within the improper route.
Solely by holding the token of the messenger might the dungeon challenger see by way of the phantasm and discover the precise path.
If the challenger went with the messenger, the challenger would certainly discover the best way. However within the subsequent lure room, each can be worn out as a result of elevated weight.
If the dungeon challenger pulled up the messenger right now, it might even be a loss of life flag.
On this nightmare, the dungeon challenger’s arms have been “sure to be dirtied”.
In line with Suuankou’s present conjecture, the messenger needed to be killed exterior the Maze Forest.
As for the best way to do it…
Suuankou had a dagger in hand, in addition to a gun. However he didn’t have spare gunpowder and bullets readily available.
If the dungeon challenger attacked the messenger with a dagger, the opponent would resist fiercely. Throughout fight, the challenger would simply have their arms stained with blood. Additionally, if the challenger have been pushed to the bottom, that might be a assured loss of life.
At current, there appears to be just one resolution at first.
Suuankou stopped about three or 4 steps away from the messenger and killed the messenger on the spot with a exact gunshot.
After the messenger steadily stopped respiratory, Suuankou turned him over together with his toes. Reaching his hand rigorously, he took a withered yellow leaf sandwiched between two glass plates from the sufferer’s pocket.
It seemed like some sort of specimen.
When he touched the leaf specimen, Suuankou noticed two rows of information:
[Withered Leaf]
[—It is the token of the trees, often leading those who lost.]
Instantly afterward, the world earlier than Suuankou appeared to turn into extra colourful.
To be extra exact, it resembled the vibe of “having the colour distinction rising in a software program”.
A white arrow appeared on the bottom, pointing ahead.
Solely then did Suuankou transfer ahead.
No bullets have been left within the gun, and there gave the impression to be no probability of selecting up bullets afterward. However anyway, Suuankou determined to convey the gun alongside first.
Worse involves worst, it’s higher than an iron baton.
Quickly, Suuankou walked into the darkish forest.
The traces made by human footsteps had additionally disappeared. There was no daylight within the underground world, and it was not possible to find out the route by way of shadows.
Nonetheless, Suuankou might nonetheless see the white arrow seem on the bottom, pointing firmly within the right route.
When Suuankou walked on this route, some timber within the distance steadily light together with his steps. When he walked over, a path revealed whereby it was not there beforehand.
Those that didn’t comply with this route would inevitably die.
The fight energy of these ferocious beasts didn’t matter. So long as the challenger had their arms stained in blood or mud whereas combating the beats or fleeing for his life, it translated to “them nonetheless staying alive, however are already thought of useless.”
—Please kill your self and restart once more.
