The process of traversing the deep layers is naturally not as easy as the title of the post suggests.

Although it was only a descent process overall, Edward suffered an accident when he tried to fly directly through the entire tunnel with the Black Flame Dragon.

The first is the attack of those nine-headed birds and the monsters that also live on this level, although the intensity of the attack is not large, and it is within the range that Edward can handle, but it is still quite energy-consuming to deal with the attack.

And then after the attack of these things is solved, the bigger problem becomes.

He wanted to descend directly through the entire deep layer of the tunnel in one go.

After all, the Black Flame Dragon is essentially an existence composed of his skills, not a real creature, and the rapid descent in the case of riding the Black Flame Dragon is equivalent to a shield composed of almost material flames under Edward, even if he hits something on the way, he can resist most of the damage, and if it hits a monster such as a nine-headed bird, it can directly cause a critical hit of physical impact and fire damage!

However, it was in this super-high-speed descent, which was faster than free fall, that Edward noticed that something was wrong.

Obviously he didn't take any attack, but his health bar was decreasing at a fairly fast rate!

If you look closely, you will notice that there is a status called [Deep Curse III] on your status bar.

After many experiments, Edward was able to determine the cause of the curse, although he was unable to understand where the curse came from.

To put it simply, when the speed of descent exceeds a certain limit, this curse will appear, and this curse is divided into several levels:

Grade I is a feeling of dizziness and nausea, but does not have any substantial adverse effects.

Level II will cause a loss of balance and the body will enter a vertigo-like state of control, but a legal rank with a higher mental attribute like Edward can be exempted from the vertigo state to a certain extent.

Level III is the level that Edward first felt, and from here on, it will cause damage to people, and this level is manifested by blood beads on the skin on the surface of the body, but thanks to the player's constitution, these blood beads will disappear directly when they leave the body, and will not cause a lot of blood loss.

Edward then tried to speed up again, and rediscovered that there were two levels of cursed status after level III.

Curse level IV will make people feel as if there is a fire burning in their body (doubtfully, Edward thinks it may also be a state unique to the profession of Skyfire Courier), their HP will drop much faster than that of Curse Level III, and there will be signs of debuffs in mental attributes.

Level V is the highest level of curse tested by Edward, or Black Flame Dragon's acceleration ability, in this state, the player's mental attributes are greatly reduced, and the physical attributes will be disordered, not a strong decrease, but occasionally increased, in addition to [Deep Curse V], there will be another strange state of [melting].

There is a percentage count behind the [Melt] state, but the two times Edward experimented with burned all his health before the percentage ran to 100%, so I don't know what will happen, Edward guesses that he may die directly into a pool of blood or something.

"So to put it simply, the existence of [Deep Curse] is that we can't quickly pass through this tunnel and reach the third layer."

It was only after the experiment that Edward concluded.

He and the members of the strategy team were in a cave in the wall of a tunnel, eating compressed biscuits and drinking fat house water for a short rest.

The others were fine, but Edward had already died twice after testing the curse, and he looked a little kidney-deficient.

"Then you've already passed through the deep walls and reached the darkness of the sky, right?" Mufasa asked curiously, "What's down there?" ”

"It's pitch black, but the air is buoyant, and it feels like you're in a dark sea, and you can see a little bit of light." Edward recalled what he had seen and heard, and was a little distressed: "It's not easy to say, anyway, I'll take you down first." ”

"Isn't there a boss or anything like that on the second floor?" Joe was a little dissatisfied with this: "It's so easy to get through the second layer, should it be said that it's too easy, or is it disappointing......"

"I'm afraid that this tunnel itself is the most difficult test of the second layer, and the reason why we feel that the second layer is simple is purely based on the player's immortal body and the laws that Edward has figured out!" Doug couldn't help but preach to Joe, "Think about it, what would happen if we weren't players and didn't know anything about the news of this tunnel?" ”

"Isn't it the same as the current one?" Joe scratched his head, not quite understanding what he meant by being small.

"Human patience is actually very limited. At first, you can climb down normally, but once you climb for hours and look down and still feel that the tunnel is bottomless, you will feel anxious. At that point, whether it's material or otherwise, I'm afraid you'll try a faster way to descend, such as rappelling by rope. ”

However, Mufasha understood what Doug meant, and explained to Joe and the other players in the team who were confused: "And once the level II [Deep Curse] is triggered, you will fall into a dizzy state and lose control, so it will be ......."

"You'll fall off the rope!" Joe understood what they meant.

"That's right, and the speed of the fall will continue to trigger the curse of the next few levels, killing people quickly." Edward nodded and added, "With such difficulty, do you still think it's easy to attack the deep wall layer?" ”

"Wow, so insidious! If it weren't for us, no matter who came to explore, the first time we encountered this kind of thing, it would have been dead! Joe frowned and scolded, "The person who designed this thing is definitely not a good thing!" ”

"Not really." Edward shook his head, "Although this is indeed a kind of 'first-sight killing', the High Elves who built this still left a hint. ”

"Grade I curse?" Dogan hammered his palm.

"That's right, the first level curse, it doesn't do any real damage, it just makes people dizzy and sick, and that's the biggest hint for the explorer to honestly and slowly climb down. If you ignore this prompt and continue to accelerate the descent, the following curse will be triggered. Edward nodded, and ate his dry food in three or two bites: "But it's not necessary for us, the priesthood is ready to replenish the blood, the others take Coca-Cola, let's dive directly and pay attention to the health of the blood line!" ”
