Minecraft players are invading the worlds.

"We could even create a dedicated architecture section in the future, allowing everyone to share blueprints and insights."

Feng Xue's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he nodded repeatedly.

"That's true. I'll go dig up some materials first, and I'll ask Sister Hei when she comes online."

Having resolved the minor annoyance of the snowstorm, the two didn't exchange any more pleasantries.

Xu Tian bid farewell to the wind and snow and headed towards the wilderness on the outskirts of the territory.

"Now that everyone has developed to a similar level, it's time to prepare for the next stage."

Xu Tian was running through the map while making calculations.

"Let's go for a stroll in Hell, and while we're at it, grab some Blaze Rods and Pearls. Let's take down the Ender Dragon first."

Actually, fighting the Ender Dragon itself wasn't very appealing to him, just for the experience points. What he really cared about was the elytra, the equipment in the End City.

"That's the magic weapon that changes the gaming experience."

However, Xu Tian immediately thought of another problem.

"If we take these elytra to the continent of Eisheria, will the physics engine still be compatible? Can a firework rocket really carry a grown man in iron armor into the sky?"

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore. Practice makes perfect, let's get our hands on it first."

Xu Tian put aside his distractions and began searching for lava pools on the map.

He was very familiar with the traditional speedrun techniques, and before long, he discovered an open-air lava pool at the edge of a forest.

Xu Tian skillfully took out a bucket, stood by the lava pool, and began his smooth and efficient operation.

Water is drawn, poured out, and used to cool the lava, forming obsidian...

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

As the water collided with the magma, large amounts of white steam rose into the air.

In less than twenty seconds, a standard Hellgate frame was formed.

"The craftsmanship hasn't been lost; it's still as silky smooth as ever."

Xu Tian clapped his hands in satisfaction and used a flint to ignite the inside of the door frame.

"Buzz".

The purple teleportation screen lit up instantly, emitting an unsettling low hum.

Xu Tian took a deep breath and stepped inside.

As my vision blurred, the world around me instantly changed from blue sky and white clouds to a dark, oppressive red hue.

[Entering the lower realm...]

A wave of scorching heat hit him, Xu Tian thought.

"The visual effects are amazing."

Beneath their feet lay dark red Netherworld Rock, surrounded by flowing red lava waterfalls, and in the distance, the eerie cries of evil spirits, like the wailing of an infant, echoed from time to time.

"That's right."

Xu Tian determined his direction and began running and traversing the intricate terrain, searching for traces of the Lower Realm Fortress.

After a long trek and crossing a lava lake, he finally saw the familiar dark red brick structure at the end of the mist—the Nether Fortress.

"Luckily, it's not too far."

Most of the fortress's structure is suspended above the lava lake.

Xu Tian carefully built a block bridge, then violently dug through the wall and crawled into the fortress.

Next comes the tedious but necessary scavenging phase.

He moved quickly through the fortress's corridors, clearing away a few troublesome withered skeletons along the way, and opening each chest he came across with great anticipation.

"Click".

The first chest contained two gold ingots and a saddle.

"Rubbish".

The second box contained several iron ingots and a golden sword.

"Still garbage."

Xu Tian kept cursing and swearing until he opened the third box, where a bright blue color caught his eye.

Diamond Horse Armor

Xu Tian took it out and looked thoughtfully at the diamond-studded armor in his hand.

"Okay, this thing has decent defensive capabilities."

An image flashed through his mind: what if he raised a horse in Minecraft, dressed it in this diamond horse armor, and then transported it to the continent of Eisheria through a portal?

"I wonder if those knights can withstand my heavy cavalry charge?"

Chapter 27 The Art of Coffins

Xu Tian put away the horse armor, and his mood improved considerably.

After exploring further and collecting some scattered gold and iron ingots, he finally heard that familiar voice.

"Huff, huff."

On a small platform ahead, a Blaze spawner is spinning rapidly, and three Blazes engulfed in flames have already spawned around it.

"We've got a job."

Xu Tian drew his longsword, built himself some cover, and began skillfully killing monsters.

As the Blazing Men fell one by one, golden Blazing Rods fell to the ground and were collected by him.

"With these, and some pearls, the Eye of Ender will be complete."

After collecting enough Flame Rods, Xu Tian continued to wander around the land of the lower realm.

On the edge of a forest shrouded in morning mist on the continent of Eshilia.

A young man dressed in full suits of iron armor was walking briskly along a forest path.

He held an iron shield in his left hand and a sharp steel rapier in his right. With the ID "Peak" above his head, he looked dashing and had the air of a medieval knight.

As a newcomer who had only recently joined the game, although his equipment was already complete, he completely missed last night's highly profitable wolf pack defense battle, which still bothers him to this day.

"Since the quest is triggered by killing monsters all over the world, it means that the quest mechanism of this game can be actively induced."

As he walked, he wielded his rapier, cutting through the thorns along the roadside.

"I'll try my luck too. Maybe I can be like those protagonists in online novels, stumbling upon a hidden BOSS or discovering a dragon's lair while just wandering around. Then I'll be rich."

With this simple wish in mind, he went deeper and deeper.

After an unknown amount of time, the peak suddenly stopped.

He stood there, his brows slightly furrowed, and unconsciously tightened his grip on the slender sword in his hand.

"That's strange, something feels off about this place."

The woods, which were just moments ago filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers, are now eerily quiet; even the chirping of insects has vanished.

Even more strangely, the surrounding air was cooling down rapidly at a rate that could be felt by the body.

Peak looked up at the sky, which was still clear and blue, with no signs of snow or weather change.

"Why is it getting colder as we walk?"

He exhaled a puff of white breath and rubbed the iron armor on his arm.

"Could there be some special area missions ahead? Like the Frozen Forbidden Zone or something?"

Thinking of this, he was not surprised but delighted, and quickened his pace.

Just as he turned past a giant tree.

"call out!"

A beam of eerie blue light shot out from the bushes ahead without warning, its chilling rays aimed directly at his face.

"Holy crap!"

Although Peak is a newcomer, he is still a seasoned pro player.

In that critical moment, his reaction speed was astonishing.

He didn't foolishly raise his shield to take the hit, because his intuition told him that this thing was spell damage.

In an instant, his left hand switched, and a shield transformed into a set of round stones.

"Bang! Bang!"

He slammed two two-meter-high round stones in front of him, creating a temporary shelter.

"Click".

The blue chill slammed hard against the round stone.

There was no explosion or shockwave; the rough stone surface was instantly covered with a thick layer of frost, and the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Before the peak could even catch his breath, several more blue lights lit up in the woods behind them.

"Shhhhhh!"

Several more gusts of cold air followed, striking the round stone shelter precisely and producing a series of freezing sounds.

Peak, hiding behind the rock, listened to the commotion outside and couldn't help but complain.

"What the hell is this thing? Did someone's ice machine come to life and escape? This firepower is a bit too strong."

In that brief moment of his daze, the surrounding air suddenly became even colder.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of air being torn apart rang out from all directions.

This time, not only from the front, but also from the flanks and rear, a chilling aura was shooting out, clearly indicating that he had been surrounded.

"not good".
