"Charge! Whoever gets it, keeps it!"
On a pale End island.
For the Elytra that could let people fly, the members of the Douluo Expeditionary Army were sprinting madly toward the enormous purple fortress in the distance.
With an endless supply of Potions of Swiftness in her backpack, Wang Qiuer ran like the wind and quickly surged into the lead.
Di Tian followed close behind her. Though he had no speed potions, his flashy chain-jump Ghost technique kept him tightly on Wang Qiuer's heels.
Before long, the two arrived at the very base of the End City one after the other.
The fortress was built from Purpur Blocks and End Stone Bricks. Up close, it looked even more awe-inspiring.
It had no doors at all, only layers upon layers of chaotic stairways and balconies that stretched ever upward, nearly reaching the sky.
"Where's the entrance? This stupid tower doesn't even have stairs?"
Di Tian circled the base of the tower, preparing to pull out his Diamond Pickaxe and dig straight through the wall.
Just then, among the wall blocks at the tower's base, one block that looked almost identical in color to the surrounding Purpur Blocks—but had a few extra seams—suddenly opened from top and bottom like a box!
Inside that purple box was a pale yellow little head with no facial features other than a pair of eyes.
"What kind of monster is that? A turtle hiding in its shell?"
Di Tian froze. Before he could even draw his sword, the Shulker's head withdrew.
"Whoosh!"
A faintly glowing white energy ball, like a miniature homing missile, shot from its open shell and slowly flew toward Di Tian.
"You think such a limp little attack can hurt me? I'm wearing a full set of Protection IV Diamond armor!"
Di Tian
