Chapter 212 Crisis in the Plaza
This time it wasn't just Fang Bie who gasped; the other two drew in sharp breaths as well. Just imagine, under this blood-red moonlight, the terrifying experience of so many monsters crowding onto the mountain path.
Fang Bie didn't even know where these fellows had come from. Just a second ago, there were only a few scattered monsters on the mountain road, and the next, the entire area was surrounded by all of them. If the number of monsters wasn't so bloated, their advance speed would probably be even faster.
Howls of different tones and sounds rose and fell in this space. The gloomy and terrifying atmosphere began to intensify under the shroud of moonlight, making the feeling of fear even more unbearable.
This moonlight itself wasn't ordinary moonlight, otherwise it wouldn't have so easily driven these monsters directly mad, nor would it have made the monster respawn rate so much faster, even spawning in some areas that were fundamentally impossible to reach.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." Afterimages began to flash wildly past them, followed by strange musical notes that were somewhat hoarse and grating. Several monsters over three meters tall frequently appeared and disappeared around them.
Fang Bie immediately recognized them. These monsters had large heads, limbs somewhat like wooden sticks, and a body as thin as a reed. Their body proportions were extremely uncoordinated, with their legs accounting for half of their body length.
It was a monster composed of black blocks, called an Enderman, commonly known as Xiao Hei (Little Black).
Fang Bie wasn't too surprised by their arrival. After all, even neutral creatures had been turned against them. These black monsters, who were already unfriendly to players, appearing here didn't feel particularly strange to him.
It was just that the extent to which these monsters teleported back and forth was indeed very annoying. Fang Bie gave a detailed explanation to the two people beside him.
"They are Xiao Hei, they usually won't attack you. Be careful not to look them in the eyes!" Fang Bie said. This was also a small skill to deal with Endermen.
"Once they are preparing to attack you, you can lower your head. Their hands can't reach you, so they won't be able to cause you damage!"
This was a simple method of avoiding attacks that Fang Bie had explored himself. Their bodies were just too strangely shaped. With this structure, they might be able to teleport quickly, but they couldn't attack people shorter than their hands.
"If you want to attack them, hit their feet, and don't stop, don't pause!" Fang Bie spoke very carefully, "Once you pause, they will teleport away instantly and then appear in the next place."
The three of them finally reached the courtyard in a few steps. The defense measures they had taken before were excellent. So far, they hadn't seen even a single monster appear in the courtyard.
"Not right!" Fang Bie's temples suddenly tightened, feeling a burst of stinging pain.
In front of the three teleportation portals not far away, two green monsters were making a hissing sound like snake monsters. Despite all their precautions, these fellows had still come!
Creepers, commonly known as JJ monsters because they looked somewhat like an enlarged indescribable object, were a type of monster that Fang Bie never wanted to encounter in the MC World, no matter the period.
Creepers possessed the terrifying explosive power to shatter a dozen blocks in their surroundings. Fang Bie often encountered situations where houses, caves, treehouses, and farms that he had painstakingly built were directly pulverized overnight by these terrifying monsters.
Could it be that even if he planted torches all over the plaza, he still couldn't prevent these monsters from coming?
Fang Bie raised his head and finally understood the reason for the appearance of these two Creepers. He suddenly realized that this was still his own problem.
People who often play MC know that monsters will definitely spawn in dark places, and even if you put torches in every place in the room, it's still easy to miss a spot.
That spot was the top of the teleportation portal. It was also a complete block, and monsters would inevitably spawn there. Fang Bie forgot that Xiao Yan wasn't a player like him and wouldn't pay attention to the situation there.
He could only instruct the two of them, "There are bows and arrows in the box. Take the bows and arrows and try to shoot and kill those monsters. Don't move the group of monsters blocking in front. Go directly to move those behind!"
Fang Bie pointed to the monsters behind, "Did you see that green Creeper? Did you see those white Skeletons? Did you see those witches wearing purple clothes? Yes! Take them down!"
Fang Bie watched as the two of them took out bows and arrows from the box. Only then did he raise his knife and slowly approach the two green figures.
He didn't even dare to use bows and arrows to shoot at these two monsters. After all, Creepers in close combat were known for being unstable. If they exploded now, a large area in this plaza would be exposed, and this was the Teleportation Portal Area, the most important area of the entire plaza!
There were four teleportation portals here. If an explosion really occurred here, he would have no tears to shed.
So when Fang Bie determined that the situation in front seemed to be stable, he took advantage of the moonlight and slowly moved to the vicinity of these teleportation portals. He didn't act rashly, but carefully observed the surrounding situation.
Fang Bie was confirming whether there were other monsters respawning around. After all, with 4 teleportation portals, it wouldn't be strange for a dozen monsters to spawn in theory. Under this blood-red moon, anything strange could happen.
He really did see the existence of other things. It was a Blaze that looked seemingly snow-white. It didn't have flames wrapped around it, but was instead held in the air by white wind and snow.
After seeing this monster, the expression on Fang Bie's face finally recovered a little. He didn't expect that even monsters had been updated. There was no Role of Gale in the initial monsters.
He casually swung out two cherry blossom-like blade lights, strike down/cut down this monster, and picked up the Gale Rod it dropped.
The Gale Rod could be ground into Gale Powder, which could be used to make potions that made people float, a good supply item.
Fang Bie finally confirmed the surrounding situation. After consistently not finding any other monsters, he then prepared to attack these two green and gloomy Creepers.
Fang Bie's mood was extremely tense, just like what happened when he first touched this monster. He slowly walked up to these two Creepers, watching as the two of them slowly turned around, and then made an even more jumpy sound, like a snake spitting out its tongue.
The moment the two monsters saw him and approached him, white light had already flashed on their bodies, and then their entire bodies began to expand rapidly.
This was the alarm signal when they were about to explode.
Fang Bie immediately took a step back, forcibly stopping their hatred range, forcing the two monsters to continue forward, wanting to track him for an explosion.
Fang Bie suddenly swung his knife, hitting the two monsters backward, and then took another step back, continuing to stay in the stage where they were about to explode but hadn't yet.
"Zzzzzz..." The two Creepers seemed impatient. Under the scarlet moonlight, their movement speed suddenly increased, and they suddenly dart/dash to his front!
Fang Bie's eyes flashed, and he swung his knife again, and then his body suddenly disappeared from the spot, appearing two meters behind. A cherry blossom-like radiance shone!
