It's not worth it to run so far just for two pieces of iron. Steve thought so.

In order to prevent his dead from falling underneath, Steve made a chest, placed it next to the exit of the natural mine, and threw all the useless items into it.

After taking care of all this, Steve cautiously approached the vertical downward passage with his iron sword.

As usual, Steve placed a torch at the limit distance. Jumping off will definitely drain blood, and there may be monster attacks, and it will not be convenient to come up when the time comes, so Steve decides to use dirt to build down.

Pieces of dirt were lowered, and Steve landed without a hitch.

After coming down to replenish a torch, Steve didn't find the monster, but found two iron ores on the side.

"Hey! Good luck! I know it's right. Steve picked up the pickaxe and dug up the two pieces of iron. There was iron behind the iron, and Steve got a total of 6 pieces of iron.

Continuing to explore the cave, Steve walked slowly.

Not far away, the sound of spiders spinning silk echoed in the mine.

Not daring to be careless, Steve made sure that the brightness behind him would not brush out monsters, and moved forward with an iron sword in one hand and a stone axe in the other.

There's light ahead!

Steve found out after mending a torch.

Look at the brightness of the light should be a torch, isn't it...... This is an abandoned mine?!

Steve was ecstatic. With the light of the torches ahead, Steve saw the wooden bracket structure and the cobwebs on it. At this time, a pale cyan spider, which is one size smaller than a normal spider, is crawling around the spider's web.

"Poisonous spiders! It's not going to be easy now! I can't be attacked by it! "Poisonous spiders are poisonous, and whenever they attack Steve, Steve will get a 15-second "Poison I".

Since this cave spider has a poison that normal spiders don't have, they have less health. All you need to do is ...... It only takes one Axe Mind Strike to finish it down. (Critical Zhao Cheng double damage, 9X2=18, old version)

Under normal circumstances, cave spiders will be found in monster spawners in abandoned mines. Each monster spawner has a large number of cobwebs around it. Spider webs reduce Steve's speed, but it does not affect spiders. This, combined with the fact that the cave spider is a quarter faster than a normal spider that is already fast enough, makes it difficult for Steve to dodge its attacks.

But Steve didn't panic, he had a solution.

It's a well-known fact that if you're in a falling state, you have a high chance of hitting a critical hit. A single critical hit of the stone axe can finish off the spider.

And this cave is very low, how can it jump up and hit a critical hit? It's simple, as long as Steve "sacrifices" some of his speed and sticks himself to the spider's web to change his fall.

Steve was not to be fooled and went up to make up a torch, and the cave spider spotted Steve at the same time.

As the cave spider quickly approached Steve, Steve jumped forward, the stone axe in his hand was slightly charged, and in the process of slowly falling, a blow hit the cave spider's head-

The moment the stone axe touched the cave spider, a large number of stars popped up, and the cave spider died directly! Steve hits a critical hit!

Steve was still falling, but he wasn't going to pick off the cobwebs with his iron sword, because two more spiders had spotted him!

Steve swung his axe and killed one cave spider, then charged and hit the other. This time I wasn't too lucky, and I didn't hit a critical hit.

During the buffer time when the spider was knocked back, Steve switched the iron sword and quickly charged up to kill the spider.

Still unlucky, the spiders didn't drop any items.

However, none of this was a problem, and Steve had to try to get as close to the spawner as he could before the next wave of cave spiders spawned.

With a swing of the iron sword, he sliced through the annoying spider silks, picking them up from the ground and keeping an eye on them.

After advancing about five blocks and getting entangled in cobwebs twice, two cave spiders spawned out. Steve tunes into the web again, and two critical hits knock out the first and last two spiders in seconds.

Moving on, and after killing two waves of vicious spiders again without taking damage, Steve managed to reach the vicinity of the monster spawner. With a torch stuck in the center of the spawner, and a few torches added around it, the spawner is successfully "sealed".

Steve put down the crafting table, and after earning the "It's Time to Strike" achievement, he began to use the wooden sword he had just made to clean up the cobwebs around him. He was ready to explore the abandoned mine.

The monster spawner Steve doesn't plan to destroy it, he plans to make a monster farm tower for some time to come, so that he doesn't have to worry about spider silk and spider eyes.

After making sure again that the cave spider would not spawn, Steve began to explore with a torch in one hand and an iron sword in the other.

Although the abandoned mine is said to be abandoned, there are still many things in it that can be used. For example, the boxes that were not taken away and were still on the railroad tracks, and the minerals on both sides of the mine...... Oh yes, and monster spawners.

Along the way, Steve got a little bit of luck and got 8 pieces of iron ore on the next stretch of the road. He came to a three-way intersection, and Steve followed the "left rule" and explored the left side of the road first. Looking at the staccato rails, Steve knocked them all down. With the light of the torches in front of him, Steve saw a minecart chest, but with a green figure around it.

"Damn it, it's creepers! Worst! When Steve saw the creeper, the creeper spotted him, and the creeper rushed towards Steve with a burst of speed.

Steve hurriedly stepped back, he didn't want the first minecart crate found on this trip to the mines to be destroyed.

As the creeper approached, Steve struck him with a sword, no critical hit, but repelled the creeper. Steve struck a blow and backed, the flickering light on the creeper's body dissipating.

When the creeper rushed at him again, Steve followed the same method and stole the creeper 6 health again.

Repeating it twice, the creeper fell to the ground and died.

Filling the torch and walking over to the chest, Steve leaned over and opened it. One of the gems that glowed blue and blinded Steve's eyes. This azure gem directly eclipsed the bread and 3 redstone in the chest, this, this is a - a lapis lazuli......

"That's how bad my luck is?" Steve looked at the only three things in the box and reluctantly knocked the minecart off.

Steve wasn't panicking, though, as the monster spawner could tell that the abandoned mine was large and had enough chests for him to open.

The rest of the mine tour is not so thrilling, there are no special events, no creepers encountered. In this way, mining has come to another fork in the road.

With a piece of iron ore missing, Steve can directly make a full set of iron armor. Still on the left, as he went deeper, Steve saw a light that was clearly not from a torch in front of him, and heard the sound of magma tumbling against him.

It is a lava lake, with a wooden tunnel connecting the banks across about 20 blocks, but a portion of the wood in the middle has been consumed by the flames. On the other side of the road, Steve saw two skeletal archers and a pale blue mineral, which was a diamond mine.
