Chapter 18: The Party Once a Month
"It's too dark, it's daytime. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info" Akai habitually sticks torches into the wall.
Why is it habitual, after all, for a person who often works underground, lighting is a very important thing, with light, there is a view to do things. So Akai should be said to have the occupational disease of 'Death Star Man if you don't put a torch in it'.
Of course, I'm not much better, and I'm proud to say that I'm sick with 'Die If You Don't Farm', with mild obsessive-compulsive disorder.
For example, the distance between several torches is not right! Then I went and took down the torch and replanted it; This side of the wall is a meter lower than the other side, no, I have to get the same height!
Well, mild obsessive-compulsive disorder like that.
I turned my head and looked at the walls around me with my torch. In the moss-covered walls, a few cobwebs in the corners could be found in the dim light of the torches. "These are all resources." With words of emotion, my mind was reminded of the usefulness of these items and resources.
A spider's web, a spider's web is a block left by a spider that slows down the movement of solid mobs. Cobwebs can be found in abandoned mineshafts and strongholds, the latter being mostly in libraries. With the exception of spiders and cave spiders, all entities that pass through the webs are slowed. After walking into a spider's web, mobs' ability to move is impaired. Creatures trapped in cobwebs can only move at about 15% of their normal walking speed. In addition, spider webs restrict mobs from jumping out, which is equivalent to being in a small space 2 meters high. Throwing an item at a spider web will cause the item to get stuck in the web and slowly descend. Falling weapons are also affected by cobwebs.
Additionally, spider webs can act like water to prevent the player from taking fall damage.
Also, creatures that are stuck in cobwebs can't be pulled closer with a fishing rod.
Of course, the above is just the characteristics of the spider web, and the final point is that after these spider webs are collected, it is the 'thread', which is very useful, and it can be said that it is the only very valuable thing left by the monster like the spider.
When the cobwebs are collected and turned into thread, four threads can be used to make one wool, which is of course of little use compared to the fact that we now have sheep in the vicinity of our homes. But when there is no wool for the bed, the thread is very important.
In addition, cobwebs can be made into bowstrings, and the all-important fishing rod! In the current situation of great scarcity of food, fishing rods are definitely a boon for us.
So, without hesitation, I took out the scissors from my backpack and collected the cobwebs.
By this time, Akai had already planted torches all around, and the ruins suddenly became bright.
"There's another layer down there, shall we go down and have a look?" Akai held the torch in his hand and shone it down, "Ah, there's a staircase over there. ”
"Of course you have to go down and check, be careful, if there is a mechanism, pay attention to your step." I had already remembered what this building was.
Here is a jungle temple, a temple dedicated to the jungle, dedicated to nature. If I'm not mistaken, this place will have the resources we need, and there will be some treasure in it.
Akai and I cautiously walked down the stairs, slowly and slowly.
"Be careful, take a look underground with every step, if I'm not mistaken, there's a tripwire mechanism here." Lowering our weight of gravity, we carefully squatted down and moved forward slowly.
'Squeak! 'A soft sound!
"Get down!" Before we had time to hesitate, Akai and I fell to the ground in an instant, and an arrow shot from the front flew over our heads and slammed into the stairs behind us.
"It's dangerous." Akai looked nervous, sure enough, this kind of place is very dangerous.
"The danger is directly proportional to the harvest, and besides, after we dismantle the mechanism, it is also a resource!" That's right, this machine that can shoot arrows through traps is called a dispenser, and the materials required are bows, redstone, and cobblestone. Whenever a creature touches the trap, it shoots arrows.
So, in my eyes, although dangerous, it is all resources, they are all valuable things, and as long as we move them home, the defense of our home will be much better.
Maintaining a crouching position, Akai reached out and groped on the ground, while I held a torch for light.
"Ah, I found it, the thread" After fumbling for a while, Akai finally found the tripwire, I handed Akai the torch, and then took out the scissors to cut the wire. Then he handed one end of it to Akai and said, "You go and dismantle the tripwire mechanism on the left, and I'll dismantle the one on the right." ”
When we found the tripwire, everything was much easier, and it didn't take long for the mechanism to be removed for us, and this passage should be considered safe.
I walked up to the front of the dispenser block with a torch, there was a small black hole in the front of the dispenser, and the arrows just came out of it, and I pried the dispenser off with an iron pickaxe, and when I opened it, there were about twenty or so arrows inside.
"A windfall, at least our current arrows can only support a high-intensity battle." I gave the arrow only to Akai and put the launcher in my backpack.
"Then, we can put away the redstone in the back, and we can have the materials to make a compass and a clock!" Sure enough, the harvest is much higher after a long trip.
Along with Akai, I knocked down the mossy walls behind the dispenser with a stone pickaxe, and then I put away the redstone that was coming out of the back.
Redstone is a very important resource in Minecraft, no less important than iron, and although it is of limited use at the moment, it will be needed in large quantities in the future of industrialization. Redstone is used for crafting almost all industrial products, but it's too early to talk about industry, and only two of them, compasses and clocks, are useful for us.
After putting the redstone away, we found the real treasure in an inner place: a chest!
"So, I'm going to open it!" Taking a deep breath, I pressed my hands against the wooden box.
"Oooh! See what's inside! Akai looked expectant.
"Sa, Ichiku!" After opening the box, there was no golden light rushing straight into the sky, and there was no light that blinded our 24k titanium alloy dog eyes, so it was opened silently. A few gold ingots with a faint golden sheen lay quietly in the chest, with a few bones beside them.
"It's pretty much the same as I expected, but I'm still disappointed." I put these in my backpack with a blank face, and took the box with me at the end (it's all resources!). )
"Seconded... Let's continue exploring."
After some exploration, we solved the launcher in a corner, and after harvesting more than twenty more arrows, the ruins of the temple were almost full of torches.
"It looks like a long time has passed, let's get here, it's troublesome to go back late." I took the torches off the wall and prepared to recycle them.
"Let's get the clock right." Akai pulls out a bit of redstone from his backpack and places a crafting table beside him.
"Then, I'll make the clock, you go and collect the torches on this floor, and we'll go to the ground floor when we're done." I have to say that the harvest is still very rich, at least I can make two fishing rods when I go back, and the bonus is that I don't have to dig deep into the ground to find redstone.
Once the clock was finished in the crafting table, I picked it up and looked at the time, the sun outside was already touching the horizon, and I said that we had been exploring this ruin for too long.
"Akai, a good news or a bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
"Let's hear the bad news first." After thinking about it, Akai decided to come with the bad news first.
"The bad news is that it's dark out there overnight, so we'll have to spend the night here and then go home tomorrow." I held the clock in front of Akai and told him to read the time.
"Okay, so what's the good news?" It's really late, and Akai has no choice but to give up his heart to go home today.
"The good news, we can spend the night here today!" Be louder.
"・・・Nima・"
"Roaring !!!" There was a roar outside the ruins, and Akai and I immediately tensed.
It's a long night.
