"He actually found Diamonds too?"
Obsidian can only be mined with Diamonds.
Unless you get a Diamond Pickaxe, or are extremely lucky and open ten Obsidian from a treasure chest.
Otherwise, there's no chance of going to the Nether.
Judging from the azure pickaxe in Gu Yu's hand, it's clear he obtained Diamonds.
"He got lucky as hell!"
Cursing under his breath, Yamamoto Rokuko felt a pang of jealousy.
"If only Gangcun found him. Then the two of us could conquer the Nether, and all the resources would belong to the Samurai Nation!"
But even if Gu Yu found him...
His eyes darted, and Yamamoto Rokuko stopped, hiding nearby.
He had been trapped in the Nether for so long because of Ghasts and Endermen. This was perfect.
Sensing an enemy, Ghasts and Endermen arrived!
"Without any long-range attacks, let's see how you deal with a Ghast!"
Having stayed in the Nether for so long, Yamamoto Rokuko had experience dodging monsters.
But Gu Yu just arrived and didn't know the dangers!
With his extensive experience in the Nether, he could dodge, but Gu Yu might not be able to.
After Gu Yu dies, wouldn't all the resources be his?
This time, it's purely a resource drop for himself!
Just entering the Nether.
A world filled with red Lava appeared before Gu Yu's eyes.
The scene was familiar; he just needed a little time to adapt.
After all, this wasn't a game. This was Hardcore mode, where death was truly final.
An Iron set was a bit of a stretch for the Twilight Forest. Even the weakest boss was still a boss.
An Alloy set would better guarantee survival.
A wail of anguish suddenly erupted. He looked up and saw the monster with multiple tentacles flying in the sky.
A Ghast!
Its blood-red eyes opened, more terrifying and horrifying than in the game!
With Yamamoto Rokuko's previous experience, the viewers from Kyushu wanted to warn Gu Yu.
"Ghast! Gu Yu, run!"
"That's what broke Yamamoto Rokuko's Nether portal and trapped him in the Nether for days!"
"He's supposed to be going to the Twilight Forest, why is he in the Nether?"
"Maybe he doesn't know how to get to the Twilight Forest and accidentally triggered the portal while experimenting with Obsidian?"
"That makes sense. The Twilight Forest just appeared, and there are no established routes yet!"
"Be careful, getting trapped in the Nether is the end!"
"Oh no, the Ghast has locked onto Gu Yu!"
A fireball shot out, flying straight towards Gu Yu.
It wasn't fast, but its trajectory was incredibly tricky.
If he dodged, it would hit the Obsidian behind him and destroy the portal.
If he chose to tank it, the spawn point was narrow, and he could fall into the Lava at any moment.
"He has nowhere to run!"
Yamamoto Rokuko was laughing hysterically.
The trajectory was even trickier than his own situation back then. He wanted to see how Gu Yu would die this time!
Meanwhile, Gu Yu stood his ground, not dodging at all.
Under Yamamoto Rokuko's gaze, which he thought was that of a clown, Gu Yu simply raised his hand slightly.
Slam!
His Iron Sword struck the incoming fireball, just like hitting a ping-pong ball.
The fireball, in the same manner, slowly flew back, hitting the Ghast.
"Huh?"
"You're saying you can hit this thing back?"
"This life-or-death dilemma was solved just like that?"
"Holy crap, I saw Yamamoto Rokuko running from this thing every day, like a dog escaping!"
"So, he stayed in the Nether for so long without noticing, and Gu Yu just got in and already knew fireballs could be parried?"
"It wasn't a dimensional strike, it was an IQ crushing!"
After a few fireballs were shot, Gu Yu batted them all back in the same way.
Effortless, a stark contrast to the serious atmosphere before.
It was indeed not the Kyushu audience worrying needlessly.
From Yamamoto Rokuko's perspective, the Ghast lived up to its name, like a soul-reaping messenger in the Nether.
It could explode, burn, fly, and destroy blocks!
Without a long-range attack, counterattacks were impossible, more nightmarish than a nightmare!
Yet, this monster felt completely different in Gu Yu's hands.
His attack method was simple: parry fireballs as they came, like his own attacks hitting himself.
The higher the damage, the more explosive and burning the effect; how could it be a Ghast?
Isn't this just a dummy?
The audience was stunned, and so was Yamamoto Rokuko.
"You're saying, after I spent so long in the Nether, I didn't even know a Ghast's attack could be parried?"
"For this, I was even chased by it and almost fell into lava, spending every day hiding in rocks just to survive?"
Looking at it this way, his IQ really seemed to be crushed by Gu Yu.
If he had seen the fireball earlier and known it would explode, Yamamoto Rokuko wouldn't have dared to touch it, barely managing to dodge, let alone knowing the parry mechanic!
The fear of bombs was etched into his bones!
"No, this has nothing to do with intelligence; I think luck is a much bigger factor!"
It was precisely because Gu Yu had entered the Nether for the first time and didn't know the danger of fireballs.
That's why he used an Iron Sword to touch such a dangerous thing, accidentally discovering the parry mechanic.
Yamamoto Rokuko, almost doubting his own sanity, maintained his composure.
It must be luck!
"Look, even knowing fireballs could be parried to hit the Ghast, he still blew up the Nether portal."
"Endermen are here!"
Perhaps due to affection, Endermen were particularly interested in Obsidian.
As soon as the Ghast broke the portal, two Endermen appeared.
This was exactly how Yamamoto Rokuko had his Obsidian moved, trapping him in the Nether.
And Gu Yu!
"Hahaha, what did he pull out? A Boat?"
"The Nether is full of lava, what's he doing with a boat? Hilarious!"
Those mobile creatures were extremely cunning, but nothing could capture them!
Players had tried many methods to subdue these teleporting giants, all failing in the end.
And now, a tiny wooden boat was supposed to accomplish such a difficult task?
This was simply...
"He got on the boat?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yamamoto Rokuko saw the Endermen being automatically drawn onto the boat.
The boat seemed to possess some magic; no matter how they were stared at, provoked, or even attacked.
Those dark figures seemed to lose their minds, only staying on the boat to be slaughtered.
"This is not scientific!"
Seeing the wooden boat method for the first time, Yamamoto Rokuko was filled with shock.
After batting away a fireball, Gu Yu glanced at the portal's situation.
Ghast flight paths were unpredictable; it was normal to accidentally miss a fireball.
He had Flint and Steel on him; he could just relight it if needed.
Having anticipated what might happen, he was well-prepared.
"The Nether is more dangerous, but once you figure out the mechanics and characteristics, it's not that bad."
MC Players had already developed the game to its extreme.
Compared to turning into maggots, single blocks, flat continents, or Diamond continents, the Nether was just child's play.
Not to mention, there are only a few Ghasts and Endermen currently.
He easily killed the Ghasts with a rebound and casually placed two wooden Boats.
"These things aren't for you to touch."
After dealing with the Endermen with a few sword strikes, he recalled the Boats.
In all aspects, Boats are divine artifacts that can be used for many unexpected purposes.
As for science.
You're actually looking for science in the Block World?
He collected the Ender Pearls and Ghast Tears along the way.
One can teleport, and the other can be mixed with Soul Sand to make a Wither Skeleton.
Both are good spoils of war.
"The Bastion is up ahead, looks like we're in luck."
With the monsters dealt with, Gu Yu looked at the deep red building in the distance.
And, outside the Bastion, a group of abandoned blocks.
