"Glug glug glug..."
In the deep-blue deep-sea biome, two blocky figures in crude Iron Armor sank slowly toward the enormous, gloomy Ocean Monument on the seafloor like two weights.
"Boss... I'm running out of air..."
Watching the "Bubble" icon at the bottom of the screen nearly empty out, Scarlet King cried out despairingly over voice chat. "There isn't even anywhere down here to catch my breath! I feel like my lungs are about to explode!"
"Shut up! Hold it in!"
Di Tian was also frantically mashing the spacebar, trying to adjust his diving posture. "Lu Yuan taught us this. We just need to bring a door down! Watch me work!"
Just as both of them were about to start drowning and losing health, Di Tian hurriedly placed a Wooden Door against the monument's outer wall, opened it, and squeezed inside.
Under Minecraft's utterly unreasonable physics engine, a miraculous one-block column of air formed around the Wooden Door.
"Phew—saved!" Scarlet King hurriedly squeezed in as well. The two blocky figures pressed tightly together inside the tiny space by the door, gulping down air.
Just as their bubbles had fully recovered and they were about to pull out their Iron Pickaxes to dig through the wall—
A burst of white light suddenly filled the screen!
Accompanied by a particularly piercing sound effect, the phantom of a huge gray monster with a single eye and spikes all over its body suddenly appeared right in the middle of the screen!
"Holy shit!!!"
The sudden jumpscare made Di Tian and Scarlet King, sitting in the internet café, shudder all over. The middle head of Scarlet King even instinctively wanted to launch a fireball.
Then a negative status effect with a dripping-water icon appeared in the upper-right corner of the screen.
