Simultaneous traversal: All Abyss difficulty.

Chapter 679 Who's speaking? What Giant Rasengan?

If prayer were effective, Fang Yu from other worlds wouldn't have been forced into that situation.

Just as Fang Yu was on the verge of exhaustion, a faint yet clear "rustling and gurgling" sound pierced through the dullness of the soil and the scratching on his head, stubbornly drilling into his ear canal.

The sound of water! More water!
"Damn it!" Fang Yu managed to squeeze out the word from his cracked lips, despair instantly overwhelming his hesitation.

There's no other choice! Let's take a gamble!
The ruthlessness of the will to survive overcame the fear.

He abruptly turned his nearly broken stone pickaxe around, his eyes bloodshot, and with all his remaining strength, smashed it down hard against the earthen wall in the direction from which the sound of water was coming!

The stone pickaxe groaned under its strain.

Each impact was weaker than the last, and his arm felt like it was filled with rotten wood.

Finally, after a powerful, all-out swing—

"Crack!"

Then, a faint light appeared!

It wasn't the warmth of sunlight, but some strange, indescribable dim light, struggling to seep out from the widened crack!

Fang Yu trembled violently, his heart pounded, he held his breath, and temporarily forgot about the piercing hunger.

Almost instinctively, he moved closer to the hole he had dug out with his bare hands, pressing his eyes against it with a mixture of eagerness and fear.

After breaking through the wall, a much wider space slowly unfolded in his almost suffocating vision under the dim and eerie light.

Simultaneously.

There was still one person standing there.

A classic blue shirt, dark blue trousers, and a square head of brown hair.

He has a name.

he is
Steve!
Fang Yu's heart clenched, and an indescribable chill instantly swept through his body, far more terrifying than seeing a zombie!

According to his thinking, Minecraft is generally a single-player world. In this strange world, he has always taken it for granted that he is the only "player" and the central being of this entire blocky world.

For ordinary players, seeing another Steve in their own "world" is definitely more terrifying than seeing Sadako!
Fang Yu subconsciously clenched the raw stone in his hand, wanting to back away.

Unfortunately it's too late.

Steve had already come out from around the corner.

The pixelated face was expressionless, but its empty, seemingly inky square eyes locked onto Fang Yu's location with unparalleled precision in the torchlight.

look at each other.

A mere instant of stillness.

The next second, without the slightest hesitation, Steve's square hand flashed across his waist, and a chilling blue light suddenly appeared!
Diamond sword!
The brilliant blue blade reflected the torchlight, carrying an undisguised, pure, and utterly murderous intent!
Fang Yu's mind went blank, and his body couldn't keep up with this nightmarish turn of events.

"Pfft!"

Severe pain!

An indescribable, excruciating pain shot through his chest!
The sharp edges of the diamond sword seemed to defy the laws of physics, easily embedding itself into his body.

Accompanying the injury was a sudden, bright red warning that flashed in the upper right corner of his vision, like a death knell:
Health: 8 hearts -> 0.5 hearts!
Low blood warning!

Fang Yu's brain went blank!
A chilling aura of death instantly enveloped him!

Just one more blow, whether it's the terrifying power of the diamond sword or even a gentle push from Steve's fist, would be enough to extinguish that last half of his heart completely!

"Fuck your mother!"

Just as Steve slightly pulled back his wrist, preparing to unleash the fatal second sword strike, Fang Yu used all his remaining strength to suddenly crouch down like a wounded beast!
The cold, blue blade almost grazed his square-shaped hair!
He had no time to think; his gaze was fixed on the area behind Steve, an area that still emitted a terrifying orange-red light and deadly heat waves in the dim light of the mine—the lava pool!

You only get one chance!
Fang Yu let out a dissonant shout, his legs bursting with unprecedented power, ignoring the excruciating pain in his body and his almost depleted stamina bar, and rammed head down!
His body, which was positioned at the shoulders and head, slammed into Steve's block with a solid, suicidal force!
When the two bodies collided, there was no softness of flesh and blood, only the dull feedback of blocks "colliding," but it was enough to make Steve, who had lost his balance, stagger backward a step.
Then--

Steve plunged straight into that scorching, deadly lava!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The moment Steve's block touched the surface of the lava, an intense burning effect immediately appeared on him!

Orange-red flames quickly covered the blue-shirted man's body, and a charred burn mark appeared above his head accompanied by a slight sizzling sound!

Done? !
Fang Yu's ecstatic joy lasted less than half a second before a tremendous sense of crisis enveloped him again—Steve, who had fallen into the lava, was losing health at an alarming rate, but at the same time he was instinctively thrashing about, struggling to get closer to the edge and climb back up!

We can't let him come up!

Fang Yu's eyes instantly became bloodshot, his survival instinct overwhelming all his lingering fear.

He went berserk, frantically snapping up the cobblestone blocks he'd just mined from his inventory and placing them frantically at the edge where Steve was struggling to climb! Placing them! Placing them!

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The raw stones were quickly piled up, forming a simple but effective stone wall.

Through the tiny gap between the two raw stone blocks, Fang Yu saw a terrifying scene in the lava pool.

Enveloped in scorching lava, Steve's pixelated face seemed to display an expression of unbelievable rage!
He struggled in the lava, raising his valuable diamond sword and hacking fiercely at the nearby raw stone wall! "Clang! Clang!"

The sword struck the stone, sparks flew, but the damage was ineffective against the stone!

Steve's movements paused for a fraction of a second, and Fang Yu saw him quickly switch to a pickaxe and frantically dig at the rough stone!

"Swish! Swish!" The digging speed was extremely fast!

"It's about to break!" Fang Yu's scalp tingled as he watched one of the rocks already riddled with cracks under the pickaxe!
He almost simultaneously produced a new gem, and just as Steve was about to expose the flaw, he blocked it again with lightning speed!
"puff!"

Another one! The gap that was just dug out was immediately blocked by a new block!
Through the stone wall, Fang Yu could almost feel the towering, furious rage emanating from the blocky figure in the magma! But the burning effect was even more intense!
A few seconds felt like centuries.

The struggle within the magma pool grew weaker.

finally--

A soft "poof!" sound.

There were no screams, only a wisp of white smoke rising above the lava pool, enveloping Steve's body.

His health points were reduced to zero by the combined torment of lava and burning!

The next second, several items exploded out from where Steve had disappeared, like a shower of petals, and landed on the surface of the scorching lava blocks!

Fang Yu's eyes widened suddenly, and he reached out his hand almost as soon as the item appeared!

He knew the terror of lava; it could incinerate everything that fell within seconds! At the fastest speed he had ever seen, he frantically "picked up" the item icons floating above the lava blocks, through the stone wall he had built himself!

Sizzle—Sizzle—

The lava has begun to devour the items inside.

Fang Yu didn't dare to look closely at all, and just frantically scribbled based on his intuition.

With his clumsy yet swift movements, the subtle sounds of lava burning objects could be heard continuously.

Finally, when his sense of touch and sight confirmed that there was nothing left to pick up, his tense nerves relaxed slightly. He collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, and looked down at the "trophy" he had risked his life to retrieve.

Lying quietly in the outstretched palm:

[Apple] x 2 [Iron Ore] x 1 [Log] x 3
"Phew. What a pity about that diamond sword."

Fang Yu's regretful thoughts were quickly overwhelmed by a great deal of lingering fear and relief.

His life was saved!

Looking at the two bright red apples, he didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately stuffed them into his mouth, chewed them vigorously, and swallowed them!
"Crack, click, click."

As the apple was swallowed, a wonderful warm current quickly spread throughout the body.

The fatigue miraculously subsided, and the excruciating pain in my chest was greatly relieved.

The cold touch of death vanished in an instant.

A feeling of exhaustion from surviving a disaster made him lean against the rough stone wall, panting.

Once his tense nerves relaxed, he had the energy to lift his head and begin to carefully examine the depths of the mine where he was.

The glow of the lava flickered, gradually illuminating the broader outline of the space ahead.

Then, it was as if all the blood in Fang Yu's body had been drained at that moment!

The little bit of color that had just returned to his face vanished instantly, and his body, which had just been warmed up by the apple, felt as if it had fallen into an ice cave again!

The heartbeat that had just caught its breath was suddenly stopped as if gripped tightly by an invisible giant hand!

The hair on your hair stands on end!

As far as the eye can see, the mine shaft suddenly opens up into an irregular space.

The walls are not made of natural stone or minerals, but rather of a strangely structured iron cage.

To be more precise, there are six!
The iron cages were made of dark iron bars, and in the center of each cage was a square, slowly rotating black block that emitted a resentful and eerie light—the core of the cage.

In the center of each black square is a terrifying skull icon that is burning and sparking!
The skull's empty eye sockets seemed to stare straight at Fang Yu through the glow of the torchlight.

Six skeleton cages, only a few meters apart, lurked silently in the dark underground like six cold eyes.

The floor of the space was not made of ordinary stone, but rather of strange moss-covered bricks.

The scene was incredibly familiar, yet at this moment it was terrifying beyond measure!
"Swishing monster cages? Six of them?!" Fang Yu's voice trembled so badly it was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

The moment he recognized it all, the skull in the nearest cage suddenly flickered with fire, accompanied by a tooth-grinding sound of bones grinding and a "whoosh" of particle effects. A skeleton holding a bone bow materialized out of thin air in the interior space of one of the rotating iron bars!

"Damn it! Aren't you going to give me any way out?"

Just as Fang Yu turned to crawl back into the mine he had dug, a familiar voice exploded in his mind!
"Then why don't you just use a Giant Rasengan and they'll all explode?"

Fang Yu retorted almost without thinking, "The Giant Rasengan can't destroy the mob spawner! You need to use a pickaxe to dig it out!"

After he finished speaking, his mind finally processed what he had said.
"Who! Who's speaking?! What Giant Rasengan?"
