minecraft: top of the last hope

Chapter 12 Entering the Prairie

We waited anxiously for dawn.On the one hand, we were in a bad mood because of the "ghost hitting the wall" before; on the other hand, it was not good for us to stay in the Black Forest. It is rugged, overgrown with trees, dim light, and narrow vision. Not only is it not conducive to building houses and farming, It is also easy to get lost, and there is no benefit except good concealment.But when it comes to concealment, Nassir's small stone house is so hidden that it was eventually discovered.What's more, Jason and his gang are still entrenched here, which makes us all feel like we have thorns in our backs, and we wish we could get out of here as soon as possible.

It was finally dawn.We rushed out of the small mound at once, took out stones and put them under our feet, then jumped up, reached out and grabbed the leaf square of an oak tree, and slowly climbed up with strength.The leaves are cool and soft, with a refreshing and sweet resinous smell. When people step on them, they are light and light, like stepping on the air, and they are still wobbly, with a feeling of sinking, which makes me On tenterhooks.Falling from such a height will cause bloodshed!
Bu Xin and Nasir also stood on the leaves, but they didn't dare to take a step forward just like me. They fixed their eyes on the leaf block under their feet, fearing that it would not be able to bear its own weight, "poof" exploded with a bang.

"Yi Ouyi, are you sure this can be used to leave people?" Bu Xin stood on the top, not daring to move, and asked me.

"It's definitely okay. Didn't it explode when we stood on it?" Although I didn't know what to do, I still asked him, "What are you afraid of? Even if you fall, it will only take a little blood. Let's go!"

I bit the bullet and took a step forward, and then took another step, walking with fear.After I cautiously advanced a certain distance on the tree, I felt that there was no problem, so I dared to run boldly.Bu Xin followed behind me, and after feeling all right like me, he also started running on the leaves.Seeing that Bu Xin and I were fine, Nasir caught up from behind and ran with us.

The feeling of running on the leaves is really like a dream. Every time you step on it, you sink in deeply and press down all the leaves under your feet, but people will not fall down anyway; The leaves will bounce back one by one by themselves, and gently lift your feet up, which is very fun, and it feels like stepping on an air cushion.

Facing the rising sun, we galloped forward.The sky in the east is a piece of gold, with a bit of red and a hint of the newborn purple air, this is "the purple air coming from the east"!The morning glow shines, surrounds the sun, and is coated with a layer of gold by the sun, scattering thousands of rays of brilliance. This is the "many rays of light"!The dense tree canopy below spreads infinitely from the feet to the front, and is sprinkled with a thick layer of gold powder by the rising sun, reflecting each other with the morning glow in the sky, until they meet at the horizon.

"It's cool!" I laughed loudly, "It's so beautiful, if you have a mobile phone, send a WeChat message before leaving!"

"Look, we've arrived at Dahe!" Bu Xin shouted.

A rushing river suddenly appeared in front of him.The dark blue river water is in sharp contrast with the surrounding gold, just like a long blue machete splitting the golden world with one knife, which made me amazed.The surface of the river was sparkling with sparkling light, and a round of rising sun was dazzling in the water, together with the rising sun in the sky, it constituted a spectacle of two suns with the same brilliance.

"It's great! How come it's so fast!" Nasir also smiled happily, "We walked so long yesterday, we really walked a lot of wrong roads!"

"Go, go!" I ran harder.

"Go forward!" Bu Xin sang, running forward without stopping.

The big river is getting closer and closer... Finally, we are here!

I jumped on the tree and "plopped" into the river, scaring away a lot of squid swimming in the river. "Minecraft" generally only has squid in the water, and it is the oversized one, but they will not tie you up with their long tentacles like those sea monsters in the movie, they will only run and be attacked Sometimes a pile of ink will be sprayed out symbolically.

There were two sounds of "plop" and "plop", and Bu Xin and Nasir also jumped into the water.The three of us got out of the water and swam towards the grassland.The water in this game is very strange, it will not get wet, so the hair, clothes and skin of the three of us are all dry. Swimming in the water is like covering the whole body with a waterproof film, and we can only feel cool. Can't feel wet, pretty amazing.

We swam forward for a certain distance, swam to the river beach, climbed ashore, and stepped on the grassland we had "hardly pursued".Grassland biome, unlike the Black Forest biome, has almost no trees, flat terrain, grass everywhere, and occasional lakes and creeks.There are many animals here, and there is also a special animal that will be generated here, that is the horse.In addition, the probability of a village appearing here is very high. If we can find it, it means that we can trade with NPC villagers!
The vast and boundless prairie is like a huge green carpet woven by nature. When we walk on it, the waist-high grass around us "swishes".In front, the grass was tall and dense, and a gust of wind blew past, and the grass lands bent down one after another, rolling like waves, and spreading like ripples on the lake.In the distance, a group of cattle and sheep loomed in the grass.

"The wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep..." When I saw this scene, I couldn't help but chant.The scent of green grass drilled into my nose with the breeze, which made me feel a little intoxicated.

Bu Xin took a deep breath and said, "Here we are, well, it's time for us to think about settling down. It's morning, and we have a lot of time to build a luxurious villa!"

"Don't, don't, don't, don't." I quickly waved my hand, "Shoot the bird with a gun, and pretend to be struck by lightning. If you really build a luxurious villa, it will probably be gone within three days."

"I'm joking." Bu Xin raised his mouth, "We need to find a hidden place now. But the view here is so wide, and there is no place to hide. If you build something on it, you can see it clearly from a few kilometers away. The burrows are good, but we can't always live in burrows, can we?"

"I have an idea." Nassir interjected, "How about we live underwater?"

When Bu Xin and I heard this idea, we looked at each other in blank dismay.What is the difference between living underwater and living in a burrow?Swimming in and out is too troublesome, so we decisively veto it.

"How about going to Baihua?" Nasir suggested again.

"Forget it..." I shook my head helplessly, "They don't necessarily want us, and we don't know where to find them."

Before, because of the influence of "Bai Birch", I thought the situation here would be better, and I wouldn't be set on fire by a crazy person like Jason for no reason; and the grassland is an ideal place to live, so I came here with hope to the prairie.It turned out that after we arrived, we didn't even know where we were going to live, and we were always scruples about this and that.

Alas, we are still too weak.It would be great if it could be like "Birch". It doesn't matter where you build a house or what kind of house you build.

"Forget it." I sighed, spread my hands and said, "Let's live in a cave. For safety's sake, we have to do this!"

They had no choice but to agree.

We dug a hole in a random place nearby to live in. This is the third time that Bu Xin and I lived in a hole.The first time I dug a burrow at the birth point to survive the first night, the second time was in a small mound, it was considered a burrow, and now it is the third time, I am afraid I have to live longer.I just hope this is the last time we stay in a burrow.The burrows are all illuminated by torches, there is no natural light source, and the inside is cold and damp, making it very uncomfortable to live in.

Although the privacy of the burrow is very good, it should be taken just in case to avoid being discovered by others.I took out the bones I picked up after beating the skeletons at the entrance of the cave, broke them into a pile of bone powder with my hand.Skeletons have a high chance of dropping bones after death, and the bones can be disassembled into bone meal, which can be used as dyes and fertilizers.Bone meal is called "Golden Carat" by players, and its bug-like ripening effect has exploded. Now there are various hormones and ripening agents on the market, as long as you sprinkle it on the plant, it will grow up all at once.

I sprinkled the bone meal on the grass near the entrance of the cave, and green flashes appeared one after another, dancing like fireflies, and then disappeared.After absorbing the bone meal, the grass on the meadow grows taller and denser, covering the opening of the hole. If you don't observe carefully, it is difficult to find it.

I put the rest of the bone meal in my backpack, clapped my hands and walked into the burrow.

Bu Xin took a pickaxe and a shovel and dug a big hole in the ground.According to him, even if you can't live in a luxurious villa, you must at least live in an underground palace.But the burrow is big, there is nothing, it looks empty, just like an underground parking lot without cars.

"Let's farm here," Nasir said.He made two iron pails on the workbench in the cave, and carried them in his hand to fetch water from the great river.I think it’s a good idea, because we actually don’t have enough food now, and we don’t have much left to eat the meat that “Bai Hua” gave us before, so we have to farm to support ourselves.Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing.

I also do take the shovel out and shovel some soil, spread them on a small piece of ground inside the hole, leaving a square-sized hole in the middle.When Nasir came back from fetching water, he poured the water from the bucket into the hole, then took out his hoe and began to plow the field. The planting system of "Minecraft" is as wonderful as its breeding system - to grow crops, you must first have soil and seeds, and then you can knock a hoe on the soil and it will become arable land, but the arable land at this time is dry. Yes, if no crops are planted, it will disappear after a while and turn back to dirt.

And if there is water near the arable land, it will become a wet arable land, and it will no longer disappear by itself, and the crops planted on it will grow faster.

Then there is sowing, the seeds are scattered on the cultivated land, and the seeds will germinate immediately (迷のspeed) and begin to grow.If it's dark, the crop will stop growing, so let it bask in the sun, or stick a torch next to it to provide light.

The last thing is to wait for the crops to mature.I remember that Wikipedia said that if crops are planted in rows, they can achieve the fastest growth rate, and it only takes about a day and a half to mature.This speed is believed to be tens of thousands of times faster than Yuan Longping's "Super Rice".

Soon the rows of wheat were planted by us and began to thrive.The three of us made some interiors in the cave, put some furniture, and made it more beautiful to comfort our depressed mood that we couldn't even live in a log cabin.

After all the finishing work was done, we sat on the "chairs" made of wooden stairs and started talking about what to do next.

"The logistics are relatively in place. Only when we have food, drink and shelter can we go to the task." I leaned on the back of the chair and said, "The problem now is that we will go to the abandoned mine to open the box immediately after we settle here. Or do you want to wait a while longer?"

Bu Xin patted the armrest of the chair with his right hand, and said, "Of course we go now! Don't forget what our original purpose is. If Nasir can't quit the game, it's useless for us to hoard more things here."

"You don't say that I have forgotten to do the task." Nassir twisted his body shyly on the chair and said, "Let me check my current ranking first."

He reached out and took out the crystal ball from his backpack, and Bu Xin and I also went over to look at it.The four rows of numbers above are:
"98.100.6.69"

"Six places have dropped." Nassir put away the crystal ball and looked up.

"No, it's down by 8." I shook my head and said, "You forgot the two players from the 101st device that were added."

However, the first row of numbers representing the total number of players seems normal, but it is horrifying to think about.There were 124 players when the game was originally added, but now there are 98 left.I calculated back and forth, and now there are a total of 27 dead players. They don't know where they were resurrected, and they don't know if they can wake up.Or they will sleep forever, lost in this game world, never to return to reality.

I thought back to those thrilling experiences before, secretly glad that we survived safely.The sea of ​​zombies, the forest fire, Jason, and ghosts hitting the wall... Maybe if we are a little careless, we will turn into dust like those 27 players.

"I plan to go over here as soon as I'm done, because that place is not well hidden, and I'm afraid that someone will get there first." Bu Xin looked serious and frowned slightly.Whenever discussing some important matters, or encountering some urgent situations, he would always put away his usual cynical and carefree demeanor and become calm and mature. "Because it is the birth point, the passageway was not blocked when we came out, so it is easy to have problems!"

"That makes sense." I nodded. "Let's go now. Nasir, do you still know the way?"

"No problem!" Nasir stood up and patted his chest. "From here to the small mound, walk on the tree to prevent getting lost. When I get to the small mound, I can find my small stone house, and then go to the birth point .”

Although the distance from the small stone house to the birth point is relatively far, it is nothing compared to the distance from the grassland to the small mound.So when we returned to the small stone house from the birth point, we did not encounter "ghosts hitting the wall".

We used bone meal to ripen the wheat, made a large pile of bread to take with us, packed up our things and set off.Following Nasir's route, we managed to reach the entrance to the passage leading to the abandoned mineshaft at the birth point before sunset.It still looks familiar here, and nothing abnormal was found at the entrance of the passage.

We drilled into the passage, and after a long walk, we arrived at the abandoned mine.

When we first entered the abandoned mine and saw everything in front of us, we were all stunned, and our mood suddenly fell to the bottom!

There are torches everywhere in the mine!This is the case with several mine tunnels!

"Damn it, it was discovered here." I was suddenly upset.
