Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

It was half a day later when this hellish expedition team returned.

The return journey was much faster than the initial digging and slow searching of ancient remains. Moreover, the chicken replenished their energy, and with their eagerness to return home, they naturally came back quickly.

Bai Li didn't rush them to do anything. After letting everyone rest for a few days, he found Mao Yi.

"Come on, take me there."

"Yes."

This time, however, their routes were quite different.

Mao Yi and the previously dispersed teams were responsible for searching for the ancient remains that had been marked.

Bai Li walked on the upper level of Hell, following behind and above Mao Yi.

He wore a pair of golden boots, held a rope in his hand, and was dragging two wooden boats behind him.

Two pig spirits sat in the boat, and two chicks sat in the other.

The pig spirit looked bewildered, not understanding why it was being dragged around all over Hell.

Bai Li, on the other hand, seemed quite relaxed.

Every now and then, I would switch to observer mode and take a look at Mao Yi's location.

As soon as he glimpsed in the chat window that the team had arrived at the previously marked location, he would attach himself to a teammate, take out a diamond pickaxe from his backpack, dig out the ancient remains, put them in his backpack, and then continue on his way.

After walking and stopping intermittently, the group returned to the lower realm fortress they had visited a few days earlier.

Bai Li hadn't taken two steps when she noticed that the particles floating in front of her had changed, turning from red to a dark blue.

"We're really lucky. This Nether fortress is right next to Soul Sand Canyon, which will definitely increase our efficiency!"

Previously, Mao Yi and his group had only seen the outline of the fortress from afar, and Bai Li, even after teleporting over, did not get close enough to take a look, so they naturally did not notice the change in environment.

Bai Li untied the rope, placed the wooden boat and the piglins aside, built a tower in the air to create Upper Hell Gate No. 1, then ran a hundred meters away to build Upper Hell Gate No. 2 before entering the main world.

He immediately entered observer mode, returned to the lower realm, and possessed Mao Yi's body.

"Go that way."

Although Mao Yi didn't understand why, he still followed Bai Li's instructions and went to a location far away from the original Hell Gate to build another Hell Gate.

If the distance between the two portals is far enough, there is no need to worry about accidentally crossing portals on the return trip.

After making these preparations, Bai Li returned to her physical body and entered the lower level of hell.

He drew his weapon and fought his way along the fortress, planting torches as he went.

Wither skeletons, ghasts, blazes, zombie piglins—he wiped out every monster he could see nearby.

Bai Li found the Blaze monster spawner in the fortress and sealed it away.

After confirming that there were no monsters around, Bai Li found the area where the two fortress roads intersected.

With wool locked onto the center of the Erlian intersection, Bai Li dug up the entire fortress.

A large area of ​​open space was dug out of the Nether Fortress.

He started with wool and built up the surrounding dirt blocks, while placing buttons to prevent monsters from spawning during the construction process.

Bai Li returned to the piece of wool and began measuring the distance around her.

"One, two...fourteen, fifteen!"

He stopped and began laying soil along the boundary, building the platform square by square.

To prevent monsters from suddenly spawning during construction, he filled the corresponding locations with buttons.

After laying the soil, Bai Li laid several layers of lower-level bricks around it, and of course, buttons were also added.

Bai Li then erected two Hell Gates in the center of the Erlian platform.

He pulled the boat over and carried the piglins inside, boat and all, to the top of the Gates of Hell.

Then surround the two sides with trapdoors to ensure the piglins don't run around, and then throw a golden helmet to each piglin.

After doing all this, Bai Li returned to the Overworld through the Nether portal below the Piglins.

The boat was placed inside the Gates of Hell, and the surrounding area was sealed with glass. A deep pit, tens of meters deep, was dug down, and then construction began to move upwards.

A 100-meter-high column of glass water rose from the ground.

Bai Li then erected a gate to hell at the top.

This Hell Gate is used to connect to the number one Hell Gate in the upper level of Hell.

Bai Li stepped inside.

"Yes, the connection is working, it's functional."

He appeared at Hellgate One and nodded in satisfaction.

This will be where the Butcher deals with the Wither Skeletons from now on.

After confirming that the Nether Portal could be connected normally, Bai Li returned to the mob farm and removed the button at lightning speed.

Only the outermost few rings of bricks at the lower boundary were left unremoved.

On the soil, Bai Li placed withered roses.

This was obtained in exchange for a lot of chickens when he killed the Wither.

Bai Li felt it was about time, so she returned to the main world and found Mao Yi through the observer mode.

"Mao Yi, go upstairs and wait."

Mao Yi followed the instructions and went to the upper level of hell.

Bai Li stayed near the monster-spawning tower, waiting quietly.

The platform's withered roses sprouted shadows.

To Bai Li's surprise, no other monsters spawned besides the Wither Skeletons.

In Java Edition, only Wither Skeletons can naturally spawn in Wither Roses. In Bedrock Edition, both Wither Skeletons and Zombie Piglins can spawn in Wither Roses without snow.

"It's done," he murmured.

As soon as the Wither Skeleton appeared, it noticed the Piglin in the center, its aggro was instantly drawn to it, and it went straight for the Piglin. Then it entered the Nether portal and was teleported to the Overworld.

Except for the first two wither skeletons, the rest were squeezed into a deep pit by the small boat inside the Nether portal, and then carried by the water flow to the upper Nether portal.

Since they are outside the border, these withering skeletons will start losing health as soon as they enter the Overworld, and by the time they return to the Upper Nether, they will only have a sliver of health left.

Mao Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, drew his sword to trim his feet.

One second!

Seeing this, Bai Li stretched and said, "Great, the monster-farming tower is now cleared."

He didn't rest for a moment, setting up a collection device below, connecting the funnel, and then attaching the box below.

The Wither Skeleton drops coal, bones, and Wither Skeleton Skulls.

Bai Li was satisfied as she watched the items keep increasing in the box.

"Now we won't be short of coal."

Previously, coal was extracted from mines, but now, coal doesn't need to be mined anymore.

The two returned to the main world.

Mao Yi glanced at the Gate of Hell.

This place is too conspicuous. I'm a little worried if no one is watching over it. I'll probably have to send someone to guard it from now on.

Moreover, how will those coals be transported back?

He glanced at Bai Li, not daring to ask any questions, but only thinking that he had to go back and explain the matter to Lord Miao.

Bai Li, of course, had already made plans.

Along the way, he collected eleven ancient remains.

Ancient remains were smelted in a furnace to create Nether alloys, which were then used to create magnets.

With the aid of a compass, one can accurately pinpoint locations throughout hell.

"Mark the locations of all the counties, and build the road according to the compass direction. The direct road to the upper level of hell was previously put on hold because we couldn't locate it due to the lack of magnets. Now we can finally continue building it!"
