Chapter 3: The Cabin in the Woods

After running for more than half an hour, we finally broke away from the pursuit of the creeper group under constant interception. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

After that, we cleared the snow and sat down to rest and regain our strength.

"I'm so tired." As I drank the sweet mana recovery potion, I felt the madness of the creepers. Mana Recovery Potions have a sweet taste due to the presence of cane sugar in the crafting materials, and it tastes like sweet water.

"Maybe it's because we're disturbing their hibernation." Akai opened the cap of the water bottle, which had not yet cooled completely, and poured a few sips of warm water.

A bottle of water in his stomach, Akai felt a lot better, and all the previous dry mouth was expelled.

"Not for sure, but for sure. Forget it, no matter what these coolies are afraid of, although it is a pity that they have dropped a lot of things and have not picked them up. "I think back to the gunpowder that was everywhere at that time, and I feel a sense of pity.

"It doesn't matter, we can come here and get it slowly later, I bet there's a creeper's lair around here."

"Well, that's what I said, so we're almost rested, let's continue to set off." Leaving these trivialities behind, Akai and I set off again on the main quest - the journey to find the pumpkin.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

"Phew, after walking for so long, can't you come to anything other than trees and snowflakes?" Although I am very patient, I have not found anything after walking for so long, and even I am a little irritable.

"I'd love to say stop complaining, but that's what I feel, I don't feel like there's anything but this bunch of bare tree trunks." Akai moved his aching ankles.

Maybe our luck suddenly improved, but we found a stream not far away.

"It's nice to have a creek, we can just follow the stream and see what we can encounter."

"Well, let's go." Akai walked out first, and I followed, watchful of the surroundings.

The surface of the stream was not frozen under the ice and snow, and the water of the stream was slightly turbulent, and I estimated that the creature that accidentally fell into it probably did not end well.

There wasn't much to say along the way, and it was all the way along the creek.

The stream didn't take many detours, it went all the way in one direction, and I didn't find anything of note on the way, but Akai and I weren't too frustrated, just thinking it was an outing.

Although there may be some minor dangers in this tour, such as creepers, creepers, and creepers・・・・・・

"Huh? Axia, what does it look like in front of you? As he walked, Akai's superhuman optic nerve seemed to have discovered something unreasonable, in this area where there were only trees.

"I can't see it, where is it?" I stood on my tiptoes, but I couldn't see anything with limited vision.

"Follow me, I'll take you." With that, Akai quickened his pace.

"Walking so fast? Really, in such a hurry. "I casually gave myself a [Agility], and I quickly followed.

There are only a few of my magic that I can actually use in my life now, and most of the rest are only used in battle.

But of course, if you use [flashing] to walk in your daily life, how painful it would be!

At least I'm not going to do such a thing that is a pure waste of magic.

A short time later, under the guidance of Akai's excellent vision, we came to the front of a house with a unique style.

A house made of pure wood, supported by four pillars, two meters above the ground.

It was a simple house with a simple window made of a wooden fence. Will there be people living in this kind of house?

I complained from the bottom of my heart, and although I was glad to find signs of human life in such a wilderness, it looked like no one had lived in it for a long time.

"Would you like to go in and have a look?" Akai suggested at my side.

I hesitated, "Is that okay, trespassing on someone's home?" ”

Akai walked around the hut, but couldn't find a staircase to go up to.

"What's the situation, there's not even a ladder? How do the people who live in this house go in and out of the house every day! ”

Akai and I came to the side facing the door, and the two-meter height difference made it impossible for us to climb up, but that's it, would we be bothered by such a little thing? How can it be!

However, since we only carried food, weapons and some torches with us when we went out, and left everything else at home, we did not have any wood to use as a foot pad.

"Local materials, local materials!" With that, a fireball was raised in my hand.

Rumble!!!

A nearby tree innocently became my target and burst into flames from its roots.

Boom...

After a period of burning and a few more fireball spells, I finally collapsed reluctantly, turning into a pile of wood that could be collected and scattered on the ground.

"Look~ Isn't this okay?"

Seeing that I skillfully made a tool table, and then made a few wooden stairs with ease, Akai said helplessly: "Sure enough, the fireball technique is the best magic." In every sense of the word. ”

"It's natural!" Summoning a fireball casually, I looked at the fireball in my hand and said proudly: "This is the signature magic of my big FFF group, whether it is a very comprehensive magic in life or combat." ”

"Hi Hi Hi~" Akai spread his hands.

As I had set the stairs in place, Akai and I made our way up the stairs to the door of the hut.

"Hungry, let's knock on the door." After all, we are outsiders.

"Seconded." Akai then reached out and knocked on the door a few times.

"Anyone?" With a shout, we were expecting someone to come out to meet us.

・・・・・・

I waited for a while, but there was no sound in the room.

"It's like there's no one." Akai and I looked at each other, but I decided to shout again.

"Anyone!!" I shouted a little louder.

After waiting a little longer, Akai and I finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"It looks like no one lives, let's go in and have a look." Akai began to try to open the door.

"Hmm." I looked around to make sure there was no danger, then turned my head to look at Akai who was trying to knock on the door, "Go to the boy, let the professional come, you are not a thief and you won't slip the door and pick the lock." I moved my hands a little and pushed Akai to the side.

"Then you come."

There was nothing to say, my hands burst into flames, and I slammed down on the wooden door.

With the crackling sound of firewood being burned, the wooden door has completed its mission, and the view of the house appears before our eyes.

The facilities were as basic as we expected, not even a bed, but we found something out of the ordinary.

It was a platform that resembled a chemical tool, and three platforms for what appeared to be medicines were sprang out around the yellow metal rods.

The moment I saw this thing, I already recognized it, it was so familiar!

Brewing stand!

This is a tool used to make potions, which can be very important in the later game, as it can make many potions with different effects.

In the original game, if a character is badly injured, there are only three ways to recover. First, after filling your stomach, wait for time to pass and recover naturally. The second is to rejuvenate and heal wounds in a very short period of time by taking a Life Restoration Potion made by the brewing table.

Finally, it is to restore health through the rarest and most magical "golden apple".

But there's more to the brewing stand than that!

Potions of Swiftness, Potions of Strength, Potions of Invisibility, Potions of Weakness, Potions of Fire Resistance・・・・・・ etc., etc., all kinds of potions with different uses, for different things.

However, this is not the main problem.

In order to make a potion, in addition to the various ingredients required, all potions have a necessary ingredient to be added before crafting, the Hell Spore.

Hell spores, also known as Hell Warts (you third sound), are a plant that can only be found in hell. They only grow on soul sand, and do not appear in other geologically is. Although Hellspore can grow in any environment, they can only be found in Hell.

The reason why it's important is because the first step in making any potion is to add Infernal Spores.

Without Hell Spores, none of those dazzling potions can be crafted. If you insist on going your own way, you may end up with a potion of weakness - no one will be stupid enough to drink it themselves!

Of course, you can still use it if you make it into a throwing style.

"I didn't expect to find something so important here." Suppressing the surprise in my heart, there is only one crucible for water in this room, except for the brewing stand.

"If no one lives there, shall we take this brewing stand with us?" Akai said that if it is an ownerless thing, then just laugh at it.

"It's okay if you think so, but it doesn't feel good・・・・・・"

Thinking so, all of a sudden, there was some commotion next to me.

"Nani?!" I looked to the side in disbelief.

In one corner of the hut, a two-meter-tall iron giant, with its eyes shining red, stared at us without a trace of expression.

"Iron golem?!"

"Iron golem! How can there be such a thing here? Oops, we're being targeted, let's go! ”

It's late! The iron golem rushed at us like beasts.
