Warped Forest.
Yang Tao had already lost count of how many Endern he had killed; they ca in waves, fearless of death. As soon as their gazes t his, they would tremble and charge.
"I can't farm anymore; I'm going to throw up..."
After clearing the last two or three Endern around the platform, Yang Tao took out an ender pearl from his backpack and threw it at a Mimic in the distance.
This Mimic was in disguise; it would stay there indefinitely until soone ca to open its chest.
Purple particles replaced Yang Tao's original position, and his figure appeared beside the Mimic, giving it no chance to transform.
One shot, and it was gone.
As the Mimic died, a glass bottle spun and fell to the ground.
Joy imdiately welled up in Yang Tao's heart. He walked forward and put the cloud bottle into his backpack.
He took it out of his backpack and held it in his hand.
Its style was very similar to the Bottled Lightning obtained in the Backrooms, except this bottle contained pure white clouds, while the Bottled Lightning contained a dark cloud constantly flashing with lightning.
"You've finally arrived! Do you know how long I've been waiting for you?!"
Yang Tao couldn't help but kiss the cloud bottle.
cloud bottle: Grants the user a double jump ability.
Equipping it in his accessory slot, Yang Tao lightly jumped in place, then pushed off again in mid-air. A white cloud appeared beneath his feet, and his body defied gravity, rising higher again.
Finally, Yang Tao landed on a strange, giant mushroom.
"That's really good, it's like soone gave a boost from below."
The height of his second jump was significantly higher than his first. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a towering black structure standing in the distance.
"Bastion?"
The Bastion, originally called the Bastion Remnant, is a rare square castle-like structure in the Nether. Piglins and Hoglins spawn within the structure.
Bastion Remnants spawn extrely powerful Piglin Brutes. They wield golden axes with great proficiency, possess damage similar to Vindicators, and shield-breaking abilities, but have more than double the health of Vindicators.
With 50 health points and an attack of 15 in normal mode and 19 in hard mode, it becos a player's nightmare in the original Minecraft.
Even with a full set of enchanted diamonds armor, if you get hit by two axe swings from a Piglin Brute around a corner inside a Bastion, you'll wonder if your diamonds armor is made of paper.
Fortunately, like the Elder Guardian, it does not respawn after being defeated.
Bastion Remnants generate four types of structures: Bridge, Hoglin Stables, Housing Units, and Treasure Rooms, though usually not all of them generate.
Yang Tao looked down at the black structure from above the Bastion Remnant, then took out TNT and a flint and steel from his backpack.
He lit it.
The TNT fuse hissed as it ignited, then free-fell onto the top of the Bastion.
Boom...
Boom...
Boom...
The Piglins hidden within the Bastion were exposed to the air. They grunted and gathered towards Yang Tao's feet.
"Let you taste the Cherry!"
A red Cherry Bomb descended from the sky. As soon as it touched the ground, it produced a violent explosion. The surrounding Piglins, before they could even fire their crossbow bolts, lay on the ground, turning into a thin mist and dissipating.
"Killing monsters still relies on the Cherry Bomb. It doesn't destroy dropped items, doesn't blow up blocks, and doesn't harm the user or allies."
After all, Cherry Bombs don't kill nearby plants when they explode.
He entered the interior of the Bastion directly through the hole blasted open by the TNT.
Just as he was about to head to the treasure room below, a Piglin Brute in black combat attire, wielding a golden axe, ran towards him at high speed. It had golden ornants on its wrists and waist, making it look very distinctive.
However, because it couldn't get through the hole blasted by the TNT, it could only stand at the edge, staring at Yang Tao helplessly...
"If this Piglin Brute had a longer attack range, maybe two of them could take down an ordinary Iron Golem."
Looking at the Piglin Brute's white eyes, he recalled his naive youth. He used to mistake the Piglin's nose for its eyes, but in reality, the white part on its forehead is its eyes.
There's no such thing as a Piglin 'girl'.
And once you realize it, it's hard to see Piglins as pretty girls again.
"Tsk tsk... girls, goodbye."
One shot took out the Piglin 'girl'. Yang Tao, riding a magic broom and holding a shotgun, moved as if he had activated a cheat, and the monsters in the Bastion Remnant didn't delay him for a mont.
He landed in the treasure room at the very bottom of the Bastion.
Large quantities of gold blocks were piled together, shining brightly under the magma's glow, but Yang Tao was already unfazed by this.
"I hope to get Netherite Ingots... If not, then at least give a few fragnts."
Netherite has little value to him now, but it is, after all, the rarest ore in the original ga, so it still holds so inherent value.
"I didn't expect this treasure room to have two large chests and one small chest. With this, I should at least get two Netherite Ingots..."
Walking to the small chest, Yang Tao opened it, and the chest interface flashed and disappeared.
"Life Crystal?"
Before Yang Tao could react, his vision plunged into darkness the next mont. This was a successfully disguised Mimic. It used the chest interface to attract Yang Tao's attention, then leaped up and bit Yang Tao on the head.
-1
The damage wasn't high, but the insult was extre.
"I've been hunting birds all day, but today I got played by a bird!"
Holding a Cherry Bomb, he let it expand in his hand. A few seconds later, the explosion damage directly took out this Mimic with its unyielding spirit.
A bright red Life Crystal flew from the Mimic's corpse into Yang Tao's backpack.
"I really didn't expect..."
He took out the Life Crystal and used it imdiately. His health finally broke into triple digits, reaching 100 points.
As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. Yang Tao picked up his shotgun and fired two shots at the two large chests next to him.
Only after ensuring there were no issues did he put his gun away.
Normally, Mimics do not combine with other chests to beco large chests.
But the problem was that no Mimic would bite heads and inflict the Blindness debuff.
He opened the large chest that was confird to be safe.
"Holy crap, two ingots?! And two scrap and two Ancient Debris??"
Yang Tao now seriously doubted his eyes. This couldn't even be described as incredibly lucky; it had to be at the level of his ancestors' graves emitting green smoke.
