Bang!
Mark reacted quickly, sensing the Iron Golem's attack and immediately using his Shield to block.
The thick iron arm smashed onto the Shield, emitting a dull thud.
He could feel the immense power of this behemoth, reverberating back through the Shield.
Thanks to the Shield's mechanism, Mark took no damage this time.
"What kind of guard is this? It only looks imposing!"
Easily blocking the attack, Mark chuckled, underestimating the Iron Golem from the bottom of his heart.
If its attacks couldn't hurt him, how strong could it be?
"It looked so big, I really thought it was powerful!"
"But wasn't it still spun around like a top by our Mark?"
"The golden sword's damage is invincible, I bet it'll die within five hits!"
"It's made of iron, so it has more HP. It might take a few more hits, I'm guessing eight!"
Seeing how easy it was to deal with, the Free Nation's audience burst into laughter.
After killing the Iron Golem, the next target would be Gu Yu. By then, all twenty Blocks' scores would belong to the Free Nation!
However, battles can turn in an instant.
Just as they were calculating how to claim the Blocks, Mark's eyes were met with the Iron Golem's heavy fist once again.
"So fast?"
It felt more real, so the Shield's cooldown was longer, requiring two seconds.
The Iron Golem's attack speed, however, was less than a second, and its next attack arrived in the blink of an eye.
Poof!
As the righteous iron fist slammed into Mark's chest, he was sent flying dozens of meters into the sky.
A tremendous sense of weightlessness washed over him, instinctively filling him with fear.
"What happened? Help, save me!"
He frantically called out to his companions, but Jet's situation was equally dire.
Realizing Mark had been repelled, he immediately charged forward with his Shield.
The golden sword struck the Iron Golem but couldn't push it back even a bit. Instead, his Shield failed him as he attacked.
Poof!
The righteous iron fist struck, sending him flying dozens of meters into the sky before landing.
Mark, at least, was protected by his Golden Armor and Golden Leggings, losing only six HP, plus one from the fall.
He was only wearing a scavenged leather chestplate, taking a full fourteen damage, plus one from the fall.
He had only five HP left!
One more hit, and he would be completely dead!
"This behemoth is not right, run!"
He could clearly hear his own heartbeat. Jet no longer dared to linger and quickly retreated.
Mark, though in better condition, felt the Iron Golem's power and also retreated hastily.
They retreated several Blocks away. The Iron Golem stood at the edge, its blood-red eyes watching them, before finally choosing to continue its duty of guarding the Block and not pursuing.
"That was close, we saved our lives!"
Having narrowly escaped death, Jet gasped for air.
Only those who had truly experienced it would know how perilous that moment was!
If he had been even a little slower, and the Iron Golem had gotten another punch in, he would have died!
"What's wrong with this damn thing? It's made of iron, why does it hurt so much when it hits me!"
Clenching his fist, Mark was still shaken.
Being easily sent flying into the sky was terrifying!
With his own weight plus his armor, he weighed at least two to three hundred pounds. How could that thing have such terrifying strength?
After eating a few pumpkin pies to recover HP, the two gradually regained their composure.
But even with full HP and full status, they looked at each other, neither daring to take a step forward.
They didn't know how much HP the behemoth had, but they knew they would die if they took one more hit!
Judging by the damage and its appearance, the Iron Golem's HP was definitely not low.
Although they didn't want to admit it, it was the reality.
They wore gold equipment and occupied Gu Yu's Block, but failed!
"Why didn't you kill that big Tekkai!"
"Mark, you've disappointed us!"
"In a two-on-one situation, you almost got killed?"
"Damn Kyushu!"
The Free Nation viewers were very disappointed not to see the Block occupied.
Could it be that gold equipment still couldn't defeat iron?
"Perhaps Kyushu had already warned Gu Yu that this was a trap!"
Mark calmly thought, adjusting his state.
"He knew we were coming, so he used all his resources to create such a monster."
"But it's okay, from my observation, he's only strong in melee combat and has no ranged abilities whatsoever!"
Coincidentally, they were the only ones in the entire world who knew how to make ranged weapons!
Mark set his sights on the nearby spider and made up his mind.
"I'll let you go for tonight, but tomorrow, once I've crafted a bow and arrow, Kyushu's Block will surely be ours!"
"So the Iron Golem is this powerful?"
Dean Qi hadn't expected the Iron Golem to unleash such strength.
After a brief moment of surprise, he burst into laughter.
Finally, he didn't have to worry about being occupied!
"I've seen this big guy before in the village."
Fries mused.
Seeing it was one thing, but feeling its iron fist smash into himself versus a Zombie was entirely different.
Only when truly facing it did he understand what kind of monster it was!
"But Mark will come back, and the Iron Golem has no ranged capabilities, making it vulnerable to bow and arrow attrition."
"The resource area is good, but it's actually a hot potato."
Frowning in thought, Fries also felt a sense of anticipation.
Gu Yu was always creating miracles, and he was very curious.
What new surprise would Gu Yu create for him this time!
The sky gradually brightened.
The Kyushu Nation viewers were immersed in the joy of repelling Mark.
Gu Yu groggily woke up from his bed, yawning and habitually reaching for his phone to check the time.
Only when he opened his eyes did he realize he had arrived in the Block World.
Shaking his head and chuckling, Gu Yu got up and washed his face by the water source.
"Today, I should transfer the Iron Ore."
What he harvested and put in his inventory was his own; he was always afraid of problems when it was outside.
Taking out four Gold Ingots from his backpack, Gu Yu headed to the resource area.
The Gold Ingots were mined from the Iron Mine, which was also the only source of Gold Ore in the Block.
Four wasn't much, but it was enough for now.
"It looks like the battle last night was intense."
As soon as he arrived, Gu Yu saw various dropped items on the ground.
Fortunately, the Iron Golem showed no signs of cracking, and he casually replenished its health.
The sound of fireworks signaled that Piglin had arrived on time to collect blocks with the hopper.
"You have something that interests me."
Putting away the hopper, Piglin uncontrollably approached Gu Yu.
Knowing very well what the Piglin tribe liked, Gu Yu threw a Gold Ingot.
"Of course, this is for you."
"Very good."
Picking up the Gold Ingot from the ground, Piglin's eyes shone.
"You truly are a wise, brave, handsome, and dashing being!"
"In exchange, let me think."
You can trade with Piglins using Gold Ingots in the game, and it works here too!
But seeing the Piglin rummaging through the trash it just got from the hopper, Gu Yu quickly interrupted.
"Let's forget it this time. I'm more interested in some information."
"Of course, what would you like to know!"
Information was also a form of transaction, and he received an accurate reply.
Gu Yu asked.
"Where are the Diamonds in the resource area?"
Above iron, Diamonds are the most important material. Finding Diamonds is necessary to enter the Nether and obtain the Netherite Set.
But when faced with this question, Zhu Wu thought for a moment before shaking its head.
"I'm afraid there are no Diamonds in the resource area."
