You call a lightning creeper a boss?

"A monster more terrifying than a Skeleton has appeared!"

"Creepers are already strong, and this is a Lightning Creeper!"

"Is it a boss? I can't even imagine what kind of immense Strength it will unleash!"

"Has the Block World finally taken action to punish Kyushu?"

"Excellent, once Gu Yu dies, our Free Nation will still be number one!"

The moment the announcement appeared, the Free Nation viewers' smiles returned.

Creepers are green monsters with slender bodies and small legs.

Their appearance is strange, unlike any known creature, yet they possess immense destructive power.

Whether Players or outside viewers, even facing Skeletons, no one wants to face such a powerful monster!

Rumbling thunder echoed, startling everything.

On the Mushroom Island, startled by the thunder, two Mushroom Cows moved aimlessly.

In just a moment, the effect on Park Sam-chang, at the very edge, was like Mount Tai crashing down with ten thousand jin.

He only quieted down after seconds of suffocating pain.

Despite the physical pain, his face was beaming with joy.

"Creeper, Gu Yu is dead for sure this time!"

Unlike Zombies and Skeletons, this creature has unique physiological characteristics.

It doesn't eat, doesn't do anything, and doesn't even burn to death in sunlight out of fear.

If it's not killed, it won't die!

Its body is like a giant bomb; it approaches Players and explodes.

Even if you attack it, unless you kill it in the second before it explodes, you will definitely suffer explosion damage!

Unfortunately, a Creeper's explosion damage is twenty blocks.

Players will be instantly killed if they get too close!

Even if you actively move away, the Creeper will automatically seek out Players, as if born to live for this explosion.

Facing such a suicidal enemy, Players can't think of any way to cope!

"Lightning Creepers have stronger damage and range than ordinary Creepers!"

They have the same HP as Zombies, and a Stone Sword takes four hits to kill.

Yet, Creepers self-destruct so quickly that they often explode by the time the second attack arrives.

"With such a large space, where can you hide?"

Park Sam-chang couldn't wait to see Gu Yu's Floating Island leveled!

"Even Lightning Creepers are out!"

"Damn, I was just celebrating solving the food problem, what do we do now!"

"Even with skills, you can't exactly force-ripen a Creeper, right?"

"Sigh, the Floating Island is so small, there's nowhere to escape."

"Is this the end?"

The Kyushu audience was very worried.

After killing over a thousand Zombies, were they finally being punished for their sheer numbers?

On the Floating Island, a Creeper was tidying up the stone house roof.

A lightning strike hit, and the Creeper gradually began to emit lightning, as if an extremely powerful force was brewing within.

A dazzling, colorful lightning shadow enveloped it, exuding an aura of sacred majesty!

"Quite the entrance."

Gu Yu glanced at the Creeper and chuckled.

If it weren't for the prior announcement, based on this entrance alone, he would have thought a Wither boss had spawned.

It's indeed rarer than a normal Creeper, but it's still a Creeper.

This is really getting annoying.

Explosions do have high damage, so the most important thing when fighting Creepers is controlling the distance.

With Steve's Hand, it appears to have infinite stamina and be indestructible.

In reality, it's far superior to ordinary people when fighting monsters and mining blocks.

For Zombies and Skeletons, normal Players must hit them directly with their weapons to deal damage.

It's manageable with other monsters, but when facing a Creeper, they often die from explosions due to insufficient weapon reach, leading to poor distance control.

However, with the enhancement of Steve's Hand, Gu Yu just needs to swing his sword in that direction, and the monster will automatically lose HP when it enters range.

This indirectly increased attack range and flexibility.

Under the protection of lightning, there was still some time before the Lightning Creeper appeared.

Unable to pass the stone house for now, he decided to finish chopping the nearby Oak, collect the Logs, Apples, and Saplings, and then head to the Crafting Table.

An Iron Ingot was taken out and placed in the center of the Crafting Table.

Then, the Plank was arranged in a Y shape.

Unlike in games where the product is shown in advance, the Block World has no crafting recipes.

Players must explore on their own to know what items can be crafted into what.

What Gu Yu was making was the most practical and cost-effective equipment in mc.

A Shield.

Although Steve's Hand gave him a three-block attack range, the Lightning Creeper had double the explosion range and damage.

With its terrifying power, even eating a Golden Apple and equipping the full Netherite Set wouldn't be enough to withstand it.

For safety, equipping a Shield was best.

Even if he didn't make it now, he would need it later; it only took a few Plank and Iron Ingots.

The drop rate was a bit low, but after killing over a thousand Zombies, he had accumulated more than a dozen Iron Ingots.

His weapon was switched to an Iron Sword, and he wore an Iron Chestplate.

He wasn't worried about the crafting schematics being broadcast live and learned by others.

The arena would only show the screen, not the Crafting Table, so others wouldn't be able to learn from it.

As for Bone Meal and other basic, fundamental items, what if others learned them?

The truly large and interesting things hadn't been used yet.

Moreover, given the world's understanding of mc, he believed that even if he showed them, no one would understand.

"This should be enough."

Holding the sword in his left hand and the shield in his right, Gu Yu felt no fatigue despite them being made entirely of Iron.

With preparations made, the Lightning Creeper in the distance completed its charge.

"It's finally starting!"

"There's no other way, this thing isn't afraid of sunlight, so I can only fight!"

"The boss even appeared on the first day, this Large Civilization is terrifying!"

"Big brother, you can do it!"

Under the global spotlight, the Lightning Creeper locked onto Gu Yu and crawled down from the stone house.

The fully formed Lightning Creeper looked no different from a regular Creeper, the only distinction being a layer of blue electric arcs surrounding its exterior.

This made the already terrifying Creeper exude an even greater Sense of Oppression!

Choosing to take the initiative, Gu Yu met it outside the stone house.

Clang!

The Iron Sword unleashed a leaping strike, dealing damage to the Lightning Creeper from two blocks away.

[-9!]

Being airborne during the attack and not touching any blocks triggered a critical hit!

It repelled the Lightning Creeper one block. Seizing the momentum, he followed up with another sword strike.

[-6]

This time, his Luck wasn't as good, and no critical hit was triggered.

After two strikes, the Lightning Creeper had only fifteen health points left, one more hit to kill it.

However, before he could swing the third sword, the Lightning Creeper's body suddenly began to swell.

It was as if it were being filled with gas from the inside, growing larger and larger.

"It's going to explode!"

Park Sam-chang, who had been watching intently, exclaimed in surprise.

At this distance, Gu Yu wouldn't have time to dodge and would definitely be hit by the explosion's radius!

With double the damage, the Iron Chestplate wouldn't be able to withstand the attack!

Sensing something was wrong, Gu Yu retreated. At this moment, the Lightning Creeper expanded to its limit.

Boom!

A massive explosion sound erupted, kicking up dust and smoke.

All the viewers held their breath.

"It exploded, such a large range!"

"It's twice as big as a regular Creeper, Gu Yu was hit!"

"The Iron Chestplate barely withstands a regular Creeper, and the damage is doubled..."

"Is Gu Yu dead?"
