The dwarves' efficiency exceeded Josiah's expectations. Yesterday, Josiah asked Frost Axe to help reinforce the mine. The next day, Frost Axe had already prepared the materials and manpower.
Now, the underground mine dug by Steve was filled with the busy figures of dwarves.
They used a kind of glowing moss to solve the problem of the lack of oxygen underground. The construction materials were directly transported through the portal.
Today was the tenth day of the construction of the underground mine. The Grey Fog on the battlefield outside the city wall had subsided a little.
"Children of the Forest! There's another pile of glowing stones. "
Today's construction had just begun, and Ahr told Josiah a piece of good news.
"You found another ore vein?"
Josh turned to look at Ahl's game screen. Her Steve was running around a bunch of Protocrystals that were emitting a faint white glow.
Ahr's Steve had not run far when a tree root suddenly extended from the soil above and grabbed hold of Ahr's Steve.
The surface of the Steve emitted a faint red glow, indicating that it was being damaged.
Hiri, who had been following Josiah, saw this scene and immediately swapped the diamond pickaxe in her hand for the enchanted diamond sword and rushed forward.
The diamond sword slashed at the surface of the root. Although it did not cut through the root, a large portion of the gray fog that enveloped the entire underground space was instantly purified.
"Is this the World Tree that was eroded by the Grey Fog?"
Josiah watched the root retract back into the soil. The moment Ahr landed, he immediately switched to the Golden Apple and began to chew on it.
"Are we there?"
Hiri also moved to Josiah's side. She held the mouse in one hand and stuffed the cake in the other into her mouth.
The roots emerged from the soil again. These roots gradually formed the figure of a human male. He looked at the group of … square people in front of him through the glowing pupils.
"What are you?"
A voice that sounded like a mix of a man and a woman came from the humanoid made of tree roots. If it was a normal lifeform, he might have been able to understand.
However, the feeling he got from seeing this humanoid creature made of cubes was no less strange than when humans saw the Grey Fog Aberrations.
"You can actually speak … You're willing to communicate with us?"
Josiah was certain that this was one of the consciousnesses of the Grey Fog residing in the World Tree. In the past, when Josiah fought with Hate and Wrath, both of them were unable to communicate.
"Out of curiosity, I don't care who you are … Once you step into my territory, you will only be welcomed with death. Before you die, I will allow you to tell me your names."
His voice was filled with arrogance and contempt. He did not view the group of Square people as dangerous enemies.
"If that's the case, then remember, our name is Players … You can also understand it as your end."
After Josiah understood that his opponent was planning on turning his character into food, he didn't plan on being polite anymore. He switched the Diamond Pickaxe in his hands to the Diamond Sword.
"Puny creatures! You have no idea how strong I am … "
As soon as the humanoid made of roots finished speaking, it was cut into pieces by Steve, who had swarmed up to him.
"Why do I feel like I can't take it anymore?"
Ciri adjusted his vision and looked at the scattered roots on the ground. The gray mist attached to the roots was still wriggling, trying to burrow into the soil to escape.
"This is only a part of the Grey Fog. Carolee, keep digging, I'll go plan a new hunt."
Josiah logged out of Minecraft. The underground tunnel could send soldiers from the real world to the Grey Fog's base.
However, to completely destroy the consciousnesses of the Grey Fog, he would need to go into the World Tree's consciousness to kill them.
The soldiers would deal with the conflicts in the real world, so the players in the World Scar would have to deal with the consciousness.
"New hunt? Is the World Scar's level cap finally going to be increased? "Carolee asked.
Josiah had been planning to increase the World Scar's level cap and release a new map half a month ago.
"Yeah, the new patch … still needs some time to adjust." Josiah nodded, then looked at the Dwarven miners behind him. "I hope the Grey Fog can be killed after this update, so I can slack off."
… …
Nephilim.
Aibo had been here for almost half a month.
Just as Josiah said, the people in Nephilim didn't do anything to hurt her, but they didn't give her enough freedom either.
Aibo's life was limited to a manor. Whenever she wanted to leave the manor, she would be stopped by a group of people called Watchers.
Aibo felt that it was strange to be monitored. The Watchers in Nephilim had similar duties to the Watchers in Blackshell City, but she had another identity in Nephilim.
As for the reason why Aibo didn't force herself to leave the manor … was because Lietta liked it here.
There were people who took care of her food and clothing in this manor. There was also something called a TV in the manor.
It would show the situation of some unknown cities. Aibo thought that a show called "Tom and Jerry" was quite interesting.
Today, Aibo sat in the living room and watched quietly as Lietta worked hard to clear Contra in one life.
The manor's gate was pushed open at this moment.
She immediately stood up. Before she could prepare to face the enemy, one of the rulers of Nephilim, and also her new guardian, Cersei, came into the hall.
"I've already told you that as long as Lietta is here, I won't escape. Please don't disturb us anymore."
Aibo learned to compromise in this half a month, including how to use honorifics. Even so, Aibo didn't want the leader of the Watchers to visit her frequently.
This made her feel uncomfortable as if she was always being watched.
"I don't suspect that you want to escape, Aibo … I just want to talk to you."
Cersei naturally found a chair and sat down.
"See me?"
Aibo looked at the woman in front of her cautiously. This woman inexplicably reminded Aibo of her second brother. However, compared to her brother's frivolous nature, Cersei was much calmer and steadier.
"Let's sit down and talk." Cersei pointed to the chair beside Aibo.
"I've already told you all the information I can. Even if you come to see me again … it's useless."
Aibo slowly sat down on the chair. She looked at Cersei face to face. She felt that this second princess was looking at her strangely.
"It has nothing to do with the information about the Grey Fog. It's just … something about us." Cersei thought for a long time before saying this.
"Us? I don't think of you as a friend. "
Aibo didn't agree with Cersei's way of calling herself. She had always stayed in the manor as a prisoner.
