Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 137 The World Behind the Portal

Some players who returned to the main world through the portal thought that instead of wasting time here, it would be better to go back and get some more items to prepare before coming back.

These people were basically the ones who thought Shi Qian would block the entrance and prevent the players from passing. They didn't have much on them, and when they found that Shi Qian was not there, they wanted to grab some more things to save their lives.

After all, this place is so dangerous, it's full of monsters as soon as you enter. Luckily, there's a safe zone next to the portal, otherwise everyone would probably be browsing the forums right now.

Some people lingered at the entrance. They had almost finished carrying their belongings and wanted to leave after seeing others go back, but going through the portal was too painful, so they figured they might as well stay here and endure it.

The area around the portal was completely obscured except for sand and red sand. Areas further away were visible when you first stepped outside, but now they were completely surrounded by corpses.

Even if someone stacks themselves on top of the portal, they can't see very far.

It was very dark outside the skeletal carcass grove; you could hardly see anything.

Although torches can provide light, that only works when placed and held by the player. Throwing a torch outside a horde of cadavers will render it completely invisible.

However, judging from the current terrain, the portal is located at a relatively high altitude, as it doesn't appear to be surrounded by mountains.

The players were bored and stayed there. Some couldn't stand the loneliness and went back to the main world through the portal, but the vast majority stayed here.

Those who came via live stream were only shocked when they saw the pile of corpses; once they realized there was nothing else, they left.

"Sigh... When will you release a flying item or mount for players? It's so frustrating not being able to fly. All those monsters can ride on Phantom Wings, why can't I?"

One player looked up to the sky and roared. Coincidentally, this player was the same extraordinary person who "revealed his own base."

"I think even if you could sit on the back of the Phantom Wing, you would still fall to your death, your butt would be split in eight pieces."

The other player whose base he had destroyed sat next to him, and the two looked up at the sky together. It could be said that they became friends after their fight.

"So what if I blew up your house? Is it really necessary to curse me to death?... Vodkin, you're being petty."

"You bastard blew up all five of my Golden Apples! Five of them! Xiang Heng, you better stay away from me!"

As dawn broke, the sky began to lighten, turning a pale white.

The corpse shells began to slowly recede, gradually dispersing from the outer layer until they disappeared completely.

Many players chose to team up and explore this dimension together, which also made it easier to look out for each other.

Among the few exceptions, there was that little crab eater.

His name is Bai Zhi. Ever since he started playing this game, he, who used to be a very sociable person, has become a lone wolf. He won't go out with anyone who invites him to have fun, and he just wears a helmet and plays games every day.

Although his actions dragged a bunch of friends into the mess, he himself remained a lone wolf player.

Exploring dimensions is most enjoyable when done alone, without having to worry about others or whether you'll hold them back. Even if you die, you won't be a burden to others' backpacks.

After the corpses surrounding the area dispersed, the players swarmed out of the portal and headed to all corners of the dimension.

And what about Shi Qian at this time?

They had already flown quite a distance on the back of the Phantom.

The communities in this dimension are similar to those in other parts of the world; they are all very large.

Shi Qian flew a long way before finally escaping the red sand-covered system.

I only saw two new things on the way here: thorns and sea buckthorn.

They are all thorny and resemble low shrubs.

Thorns cause you to lose health; their other effects are unclear.

Sea buckthorn looks like a fruit, a small yellow fruit, but he couldn't pick it up and didn't know if it tasted good...

Moreover, after moving a distance away from the portal, Shi Qian noticed a row of water droplets appearing above his hunger bar.

Those familiar with the module will naturally recognize this as a thirst value.

This happened naturally upon entering this dimension; Shi Qian himself did not add any modules.

This means that the thirst value is a value that comes with the thirst dimension.

Shi Qian's passive ability, inherited from the corpse, seems to include the ability to not feel thirsty; his thirst bar is always full. However, this does not mean that players' thirst levels will not drop.

Looks like there's another way for players to die...

I don't know if you can only replenish your thirst by eating food from this dimension, or if all food can replenish it. Food from this dimension seems to be very scarce.

During his flight, he also saw that husks were being generated in this dimension, but it seemed that there were only husks here, and he had not seen any other creatures, not even many desert rabbits.

However, it at least proves that there are living things in this world.

Moreover, we might be able to find clues about undead creatures here.

The main world is full of undead creatures, but I haven't seen a single one of this type in the Frozen Dimension.

This dimension did see it, although it only had the shell.

However, this fits the situation in this dimension quite well; they're all starving ghosts, otherwise they wouldn't be asking for food when the door is opened.

but...

Where are the native organisms of this dimension?

Shi Qian searched for most of the night but saw no light or houses.

Even if you leave that community and come to a new one, there will still be no trace of your life there.

What...

It wasn't until after dawn that Shi Qian's radar started to move.

There are living things coming from underground to the surface.

Shi Qian braked suddenly, landed, and brought the Phantom Wing to a stop.

He then hid behind a smaller sand dune to observe, displaying his true nature as a cunning and opportunistic ruler.

The biome he's in now is very similar to the original desert terrain of the Overworld, with quite a few normal cacti.

If it weren't for the new succulent plant here, Shi Qian would have almost thought he was back in the desert.

Because the biological morphology of this dimension was uncertain, Shi Qian decided to wait and observe before considering whether to approach and make contact.

But when that creature emerged from the ground, Shiqian's CPU burned out.

What kind of creature is this?

robot?

Is this something that can appear in Minecraft?

Is this tech tree being developed a bit too aggressively...?

The model's exterior is a metallic gray, with semi-transparent blue lines embedded in its arms, seemingly containing flowing energy.

Is this really true?

and...

Why is there something that looks like a rocket launcher on his back...?

Why are they even using firearms now?!

Am I really still in Minecraft? Have I been transported to another world again...?

For the first time, Shi Qian began to doubt his own eyes.

If I go up to talk to them, will I get blown up by a single shot?

That rocket launcher looks incredibly powerful.

"Is Fangxu Life developing this fast...?"

?

Order and life?

"Damn it! Explain yourself clearly, don't be a riddle teller."
