Chapter 215 The River of Anger

The barber narrowed his eyes slightly and looked up at the sky where the pain was burning.

... He has never seen a world where the "sky" is so low.

The steaming white mist with the smell of sulfur has completely obscured the true color of the sky, just like thick clouds.

The lowest edge is no more than four or five meters from the ground.

The space between heaven and earth is so small that it gives people an oppressive feeling of being out of breath.

And because the sky is too close to the ground, it also restricts the barber's field of vision. It's hard to see clearly from a little further away... Compared to an open-air crater, it looks more like a cave with a "cloud layer" as the top layer.

Strangler was extremely skilled and led the barber in a certain direction.

The white lion said casually: "This is a safe zone, so you can rest assured."

"Why, won't there be shadows here?"

"Of course not. The rules of shadow and the rules of change are eternal and iron laws. But because there is a mentor stationed here...if there is a shadow anywhere, he will kill it directly."

Strangler's deep voice gave people a sense of reassurance: "His power can radiate to the entire area. It is like a god in the dream world. Because of this, this can become the residence of the 'Melting Pot School'."

"Since the changing rules are still in effect," the barber asked as he followed Strangler, "What if we accidentally walk into other areas?"

"Just come back again. After consuming those eight certifications, the permission to 'open the door to the furnace of pain' obtained is permanent."

"That is not bad."

The barber breathed out: "I only have nine spells in total now. Although the power is very weak and not much different from the magic... But using eight to knock on the door is still a bit hurt. If you accidentally fall out, If it does, I won’t be able to obtain the resources to open the door again.”

Except for the "Aura of Despair" spell that can inject "despair" into other people's hearts, the barber turned all his remaining "spells", that is, the "certifications" obtained in the clearance area, into keys and injected them into into the door leading to the furnace of pain.

"The spells obtained in ordinary areas are just like that. If you really want to, you can go back and go through it again to recall the spells you want."

Strangler shook his head: "This kind of door that requires authentication before it can be opened is at least a rare area.

"The 'territory' occupied by mages is guaranteed to be a rare area. Although ordinary areas can also be occupied, they are really of no use.

"And when you get to the rare areas, you can get really useful spells."

"What if I answered the question wrong?"

The barber asked back: "I handed over four keys first, but I did not enter [Mountains of Madness] and [Sea of ​​Despair], and handed over four more keys to move forward.

"If I didn't answer correctly, would I have been kicked to the Mountains of Crazy and the Sea of ​​Despair?"

"[Crazy Mountains] and [Sea of ​​Despair] are also rare areas, but there are no mages stationed there. It's not a loss if you go there... you can also get powerful spells."

"So, what's the difference?"

"The difference is that in areas where the 'mentor' is... the spells will be more systematic."

Strangler looked back at the barber: "Just take me for example."

It can turn itself into flames and move at high speed, and can also release strange flames that ignore some physical parameters and burn heat-resistant metals to ashes. It can even be attached to the body to complete "enchantment".

"Although I can use many special powers, this is actually just 'a' spell. I don't have such a strong mind, so I don't plan to move forward until I have tempered my heart... My mentor taught me The power is enough for me to dig for a long time."

They walked from the "shore" around the thick liquid flowing on the ground, which was as bright red as blood and lava.

Although he was very close to them, the barber did not feel any inaccessible heat coming from his ankles.

Seeing his curious look, Zhuo Zhu immediately grabbed him and pulled him back two steps.

"Be careful...if you are in the furnace of pain, although you don't have to worry about the existence of shadows, you must be careful not to fall into the 'river of anger'. There is no hammer of pain to knock out the anger that has been contaminated on you. If you drop it, you’ll go crazy.”

Strangulation turned his attention to the bright red rivers on the ground: "This is very close to the essence of 'anger'... Although it seems to be very close to the entrance, it is at least halfway on the road to anger.

"The Road of Wrath is not a road that can reach the final tower. Its end is the 'Source of Wrath'. These liquids gush out from there, forming a 'River of Blood'. It washes down from the 'Cliff of Frustration', Falling into the 'furnace of pain'.

"As it continues to flow downstream, it gradually loses its bright red color...and eventually turns into a boiling soup. If you fall into it and are lucky enough not to go crazy, you will be washed back into the boiling soup area. "

"It turns out that these two areas are connected together..."

The barber was stunned.

He still remembered that area, which was already closer to the entrance.

It was an area that looked like a huge hot spring.

The water level is not high... In other words, no matter who comes down, they will be submerged up to their chest.

Yes, the barber who is 1.76 meters tall and the strangler who is 1.96 meters tall are both submerged exactly to the chest level...

The barber can only say that things in the dream world don't seem to be so clear...it's not that logical.

If you keep your mind calm, it is just ordinary "slightly hot" hot water, and can even be used as a hot spring.

But just soaking in it will gradually make you feel anxious. Over time, annoying hallucinations may occur.

But once you really get angry, the temperature of the water you feel will quickly increase, and eventually it will even turn into boiling water. Even if it calms down again, the water temperature will not drop.

You can achieve a stew of cat soup.

Oh, it's bird soup now, that's okay.

And in that area, if you stay for a long time, shadows will still appear.

The barber couldn't even imagine how to fight the shadows in that environment.

...Fortunately, they ran fast enough. Before they were cooked, before the shadow appeared, they ran into the next area.

"Further down from the boiling soup, the water temperature drops further and turns into a furious tide. Although we don't come all the way in a straight line, the areas along this line are logically connected to each other in the dream world."

"I don't come here directly because I want to get the keys to other paths."

The barber nodded: "There are also countermeasure spells... I understand."

After all, if you want to enter the Tornado of Pain, you need four other spells that are not part of the Path of Wrath.

And without the experience of self-control and the protection of magic, it would be very difficult for him to survive the boiling soup alive:

The "certification" obtained from the "Heart Lake" is a meditation spell that can keep oneself calm and free from random thoughts without taking violent actions.

This spell is really useless. It seems that its biggest effect is to make you fall asleep faster and stop you from lying in bed thinking about it.

But in fact, this spell can be used specifically to deal with "boiling soup".

Among the areas you will encounter in the early stage, Boiling Soup can also be regarded as the most difficult one. The main difficulty is that once the temperature rises, it doesn't fall.

But in the dream world, there is no such thing as turning back. After entering the boiling soup, it is difficult to leave.

But once the mood becomes anxious, it is easier to get angry in the illusion.

Without a mentor to guide you, it would be extremely difficult to survive the nearly infinite dream world.

"If you plan to continue on the path of anger, you can collect certifications from the path of 'pain', the path of 'despair' and the path of 'madness', and then you can open the door to the [Cliff of Frustration]."

Strangler said in a deep voice: "Among them, 'madness' and 'despair' are relatively rare areas in the first half of the dream world, but they are right at the door of the painful furnace. You just need to find the location of the painful path."

"After you handed over the certification of the first four 'wrath' paths, you have already opened the permissions of [Mountains of Madness] and [Sea of ​​Despair]. As long as you want to go, you can go directly from the Tornado of Pain."

"That's why they are connected together..."

The barber nodded thoughtfully.

Just like the green onion duck comes with its own green onions?
