minecraft: top of the last hope

Chapter 6 Corpse Sea
The lower reaches of the small dark river are very dark, and even with a torch, there is no way to fully illuminate the surrounding area, only a small area can be seen.The three of us walked tremblingly. Facing the invisible road ahead, we always felt like we would fall into the abyss at the next step.

Along the way, I didn't encounter any monsters. Instead, I saw a lot of bats looking for food in the cave.They flapped their black wings and walked through the cave, making a "squeaky" sound.The sound of flapping wings, chirping, and the sound of running water in the dark river, the three sounds mixed together, echoed everywhere in the cave, making people wonder how many bats are wandering around and how many rivers are flowing nearby. It seems that everywhere the river is, it is full of bats.

The three of us stayed close together, never leaving each other, and we left torches along the way as markers.Exploring in natural caves must be well marked, especially in places with complicated road conditions. Can only starve to death in the cave.So some masters said that it is easy to dig diamonds, but difficult to bring them out.

We brought down 3 sets of torches before, dug some coal mines along the way, and made a lot of them, not afraid of not having enough torches.It's just that half of the food has been eaten now. If we can't find the abandoned mine shaft before the third of the food is gone, then we have to go back to the ground and find a way.

Soon we came to the most downstream of the dark river, the dark river disappeared here, so we had to find a relatively flat place nearby to sit and rest.I don't know how many meters underground this place is, but it's very deep anyway, and even the air is icy cold, especially freezing.The surrounding cave walls are all wet, even the air here is wet, and it is very uncomfortable to breathe, as if the entire trachea is also stained with water.It is said that people who stay in such an environment for a long time are prone to pulmonary edema.

We sat on the frozen stone and ate bread together, discussing whether we should continue walking while eating.Nasir wanted to give up. He felt that there was no need to continue exploring. He planned to go back to the ground and find out if there were any other caves that he could enter to find the abandoned mine shaft.

"After all, we have traveled so much. Our original plan was to go back when there was only one-third of the food left. Now we only eat half of it, and we can continue to explore." Bu Xin thinks that we should continue to look down.

Although I feel a little tired, I still have the idea of ​​not wanting to give up.

"Look at the crystal ball first." I said.

Nasir and I took the black crystal ball out of the backpack.The four rows of numbers on my crystal ball are: "114.99.1.114" and Nasir's are: "114.99.5.92"

"I'm down to the 92nd place..." Nasir frowned, his eyelids drooped, a little sad, "No, I have to find the abandoned mine soon!"

"Okay, let's go."

The three got up and moved on.

The road ahead is getting darker and darker, as if a layer of fog is shrouded around us. I always feel that the distance that the torch can see becomes shorter, which makes me wonder if I have reached the bedrock layer and encountered the bedrock fog. The bottom layer of the world of "Minecraft" is covered with a kind of rock called "bedrock". This kind of rock block cannot be mined or destroyed in non-creative mode. It is one of the hardest blocks in the entire game.If we encounter bedrock, we are at the bottom of the world.

"It's so dark, how deep is it here? Will it reach the bedrock?" Bu Xin was also doubtful.

"It shouldn't be that fast," Nassir said. "We didn't even see a drop of magma. It's impossible to go deep enough to get close to the bedrock."

Also, when the underground depth of this world reaches a certain range, there will be some magma springs and magma pools.And once you reach this depth, you have a good chance of encountering diamonds.In "Minecraft", the distribution depth of each mineral is different. Coal mines can be found everywhere, while iron ore can only be encountered underground. In rare cases, it will also appear on the surface. Lapis mine, emerald Mines and gold mines go deeper, and then there are redstone mines and diamond mines, which are buried the deepest.

We have only encountered gold mines and iron mines now, and naturally we haven't been able to reach the layer where diamond mines are distributed.Therefore, it is impossible for bedrock fog to appear at this time. The surrounding darkness should be caused by the wide cave here, and the torches cannot be illuminated, so it created an illusion of "black fog" surrounding us.

There was a narrow and sharp turn in the cave ahead. After we got in, we came to a super huge cave.This cave is bigger than any one we have encountered before. We held up the torches high, and we couldn't see the top of the cave.If the cave is too large, the lighting effect of the torch will be greatly weakened. If you want to see everything in the cave clearly, you must fill the entire cave with torches.

"Be careful, walk along the cave wall and stick the torches one by one. This place is prone to monsters." I reminded the two of them.

Bu Xin held the iron sword to open the way ahead, and was responsible for observing the surrounding situation. Once he encountered any unexpected situation, he could respond immediately and would not be distracted by being busy planting torches.Nasir and I held the iron sword in one hand and the torch in the other, and followed him to insert the torch all the way to ensure the lighting.

The front went very smoothly, but just at this moment, something happened!
I didn't pay attention to my feet when I inserted the torch. I accidentally tripped over a block and fell to the ground. I yelled "ah".

"Ah" "ah" "ah"... My voice echoed in the cave.It was an echo, reverberating throughout the cave.At this time, we suddenly felt that there seemed to be an ancient beast in the dark that "swiped" and opened its eyes, staring straight at us with icy eyes!

"Oops, I have an ominous premonition..." Bu Xin held the iron sword tightly, with a serious expression, and focused on the front.This feeling is like hitting the last level of the game and seeing the animation of the BOSS's appearance, but it is more real and more terrifying!
"Hey..." There was a low growl, which frightened the three of us and made our hair stand on end!
I hurriedly got up, took the iron sword in my hand and placed it in front of my body, and scanned my eyes around, guarding against monsters that might emerge from the darkness at any time.

"What kind of boss is it? I haven't heard that there are other bosses in this game besides Wither and the Ender Dragon!" Cold sweat broke out on Bu Xin's forehead. The "Real Mode" version is very different from other game versions. If Microsoft adds some other BOSS in it, if we encounter them in such a situation without knowing it, we will definitely die!
The low roar sounded one after another, one after another, and after being blessed by the echo effect of the cave, it turned into a "rumbling" thunder, constantly vibrating in the entire cave, giving people a terrifying feeling of shaking the earth and mountains.There seemed to be countless feet walking towards us in the darkness. The three of us leaned our backs tightly against the stone wall. Facing the darkness was like facing thousands of troops!

Bu Xin raised his hand and took out a torch, looked to the side, and saw the face of a zombie, with a ferocious face, slowly approaching us.He flicked the torch again, and saw another pile of zombie faces.We were surrounded by a large row of zombies, and one of them was holding an iron sword.Bu Xin then raised the torch and threw it into the darkness. The torch drew a bright flame in the air. With this flash of flame, the three of us could see clearly...

There are hundreds of zombies in this cave, and the heads of the corpses are surging, all of them are walking towards us swaying, it looks like a sea of ​​turquoise fluffy, the waves are rolling, one after another, stretching endlessly.They are pushing each other, densely packed, with some skeletons, creepers, spiders, etc. mixed in the middle, it is simply the scene of annihilation in an American zombie movie!

Zombie sea!A veritable sea of ​​zombies!

I looked at the place where we had planted the torch before, that was the escape route, but now it was occupied by a large group of zombies.

"We were made dumplings!" I yelled.

Nasir was very nervous, and even his voice trembled: "There are so many... Is it...a zombie king commanding them?"

"Xiangxi Corpse King!" Bu Xin said.At this time, he still talks about these things.

Seeing the zombies getting closer and closer, I also panicked, so I quickly asked them:

"Fight or flee? How to fight? How to escape? Hurry up and decide, time is running out!"

"Fight! Let's break through and fight back the way we came!" Bu Xin roared.

"Escape! Dig the wall to escape, don't force yourself!" Nasir yelled.

"Let's fight and retreat! Nasir digs the wall, and Bu Xin and I will cover you!" I made a decision immediately.The zombie has already rushed up, I desperately blocked it with my sword, a few strange hands stretched out, and I swung my sword away again.

Bu Xin took Nasir's iron sword, held two swords, and fought hard.The two iron swords were extremely sharp, sweeping across thousands of troops, and the swords saw blood, unstoppable. Every time they slashed, black blood splattered and pieces of flesh flew across, killing zombies so that they couldn't get close.He danced the two shining swords, the swords were so fast that he actually brought out the sword flowers, weaving a light curtain of sword light around him, blocking the zombie's progress.He can kill like a whirlwind into the sea of ​​zombies, fighting with a large group of zombies like a bloody warrior, repelling row after row of zombies...

I followed closely behind, and continued to use my sword to kill some zombies and help him relieve some pressure.The black blood splattered all over my body, it felt like I had just been fished out of a pool of black blood, the smell was unbearable.

"Nasir! Are you alright? I'm about to lose it!" Bu Xin roared, the sword in his hand didn't stop for a moment, and swept away a few more zombies.But helplessly, there are too many zombies, and they push forward and back, forming a zombie wall to push forward, and it becomes more and more difficult to repel.The strength of the zombies is so great that it takes a lot of strength to repel them. We have no way of holding on for long.

At this time, a skeleton shot Bu Xin in the back with an arrow, making him scream.I hurried forward to help him block the zombies, but was pushed back by the zombie wall and almost fell down.I don't know where a skeleton shot an arrow, brushed my face, and shot a zombie next to me with a "poof".

Just as Bu Xin and I were struggling to support each other, Nasir's voice came:

"The hole is dug, come in!"

"Withdraw!" Bu Xin's hands were no longer as strong as before.Holding the sword in his right hand, he slashed, and the iron sword lost its durability. It broke into two pieces with a "ding", and dissipated in a white smoke.I pulled him hastily, backed away desperately, and hid in the hole that Nassir had just dug.

"Zombies are coming in too! Block the hole!" Nassir yelled anxiously, and then stabbed the zombies following behind with his stone sword.

Bu Xin and I also quickly repelled the zombies who squeezed to the entrance of the cave.At this time, a figure got into the hole, scaring us out of our wits!

Creeper!
One of the worst things in the game "Minecraft" is being stuck in a dead end by creepers!

We have no armor, no water, nothing, no retreat.It's a dead end!

"Allahhu Akbar!" Nasir was about to cry, "God help me!"

"Fuck... I'm drunk now..." Bu Xin looked at the creeper bitterly.

what to do?what to do?My brain went blank, and I couldn't think of any good way to do it.Creepers, attacking with self-detonation, can cause up to 49 points of damage, which is about two and a half health. When approaching the player, it will ignite itself, and it will explode after 1.5 seconds. Once the player is far away, it will not explode.But players can use flint and steel to force ignition to make it explode...

Flintstones!
I immediately said to Nasir and Bu Xin: "I will light it with a flint and steel, and then the three of us will kick him out together!"

"You're crazy!" The two of them quit.

The creeper has already come in, I can't help but take out the flint and iron that I dug in the cave before from my backpack, press my hands together to form a flint and steel, and hit the creeper's strange face!
Sparks fly.The creeper was ignited "hissing", white smoke came out of his mouth and eyes, and the whole cave was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder.

"Three, two, one, kick!" I yelled.

Seeing this, the two of them had no choice but to follow suit.The three of us joined forces and kicked up at the same time, and kicked the creeper all at once. The strength was so great that we actually kicked him out!The creeper flew out of the hole with billowing smoke, and fell into the crowd of zombies that followed.

"Lie down!"

The three of us fell to the ground at once.There was a deafeningly loud "boom" outside the cave, and the whole ground shook like an earthquake of magnitude [-]. It was shaking up, down, left, and right, and it made me dizzy.Gravel and gravel fell from the top of the cave, covering my body with a thick layer of sand.The flames from the explosion outside were terribly bright, blinding the stone walls inside the cave like huge searchlights, and made me cry.My ears were also buzzing from the explosion, and I was in a panic.

After a while, we struggled desperately, took out stone cubes to seal the hole, and then fell to the ground panting heavily.

"I have one drop of blood left, I'm going to die..." Bu Xin said weakly.

"Me too, two drops...hehe..." I looked at the flickering light of the torches on the wall of the cave, and smiled miserably.
