Minecraft: Steve came to the back room

The next moment, the sobbing suddenly rose in pitch, turning into a sharp howl that pierced the darkness.

It's not the roar of a wild beast, but a distorted version of a human scream in extreme pain—piercing and extremely penetrating.

The gruesome corpse found him.

What had been like a heartbroken corpse huddled in a corner suddenly stood up, opened its rotting arms, and charged at him.

Yang Bo gripped the iron sword tightly, his eyes fixed on the tragic corpse before him. Just as the two were two meters apart, the iron sword whistled through the air and fell rapidly.

puff.

There was some resistance, but under the powerful impact, the tragic corpse was still cleaved in two from head to toe by the iron sword.

Before the corpse of the tragic figure could fall to the ground.

Colorful experience orbs flew out of it.

"Rotten Flesh x 2"

"Carrot x1"

'Um? '

Yang Bo took a step back to avoid the crushing corpse, and looked at the dropped item with some surprise.

"Is this calculated based on the loot dropped by zombies in Minecraft?"

The Corpse of Sorrow is very strong. Although it is thin, its strength far exceeds that of an ordinary human. It can bend metal with its bare hands and smash wooden doors. Even a scratch can leave a deep wound that exposes the bone.

Moreover, they are tireless and painless; ordinary knife wounds and gunshots can only restrain them, making it difficult to kill them quickly.

The key point is that ordinary people who are scratched or bitten will experience a "corpse cycle": the wound becomes itchy and ulcerated → hallucinations occur → insomnia and breakdown → they slowly turn into corpses as well.

They are essentially zombies in the back room, and even more so, zombies with the ability to cause mental pollution.

Unfortunately, Yang Bo did not feel any mental influence, and the corpse was not as strong as him.

"what--"

The sharp sound rang out again, and several gruesome corpses sprang out from their hiding place, making the stench of decay even stronger.

The cries of the mournful corpses will attract nearby mournful corpses, which will cause them to quickly form small hordes, growing larger and larger as the fight continues.

Yang Bo, shield in hand and iron sword in hand, charged toward the approaching corpse from afar.

"Ouch...it hurts...please...let me go..."

Raise your shield to block the corpse's claws.

Snapped.

Yellow liquid splattered on the shield.

Yang Bo subconsciously revealed an expression of extreme disgust, and forcefully swept his iron sword horizontally.

The head, riddled with holes, was severed by a single sword stroke.

"call--!"

After exhaling, Yang Bo suddenly turned around and, using the force of the rotation, slashed at another silent, mournful corpse with his iron sword.

A slight resistance came, and then the corpse's body was sliced ​​open horizontally.

"Still thinking of launching a sneak attack?"

These wretched corpses, transformed from humans, give you the feeling of being forced to tear you apart.

When faced with them, many people are infected by inexplicable sadness and pain, and thus hurt by their sudden outbursts of behavior.

Collect the experience orbs and rotten flesh dropped by the corpse into your inventory.

"carrion"

"After consumption, restores 4 points of satiety and 0.8 points of saturation."

80% chance to gain a 30-second Hunger I effect.

P.S.: It will be your best rations when you're mining!

Spicy strips are a great emergency food. As for the hunger effect, it's not a problem at all. After eating them, you just need to stand still and wait for the hunger effect to end.

Yang Bo looked around but no new corpses appeared.

"It seems there are only these three corpses in this area."

I thought there might be a small zombie horde.

He took out a pickaxe and walked towards the container that was placed in the warehouse open space not far away.

Chapter 17 Reencounter with Tanjiro

The main world.

Yang Bo emerged from the mist carrying a jumble of various iron artifacts. Upon seeing the familiar grassland, he immediately threw the iron artifacts he was carrying onto the ground.

wow-

A collision sound rang out.

“These odds and ends are taking up too much space; we have to find a way to organize them.”

The few iron items he was carrying alone would take up at least forty or fifty compartments in his backpack.

Wrench, hammer, angle iron, steel pipe...

Each separate, distinct item occupies a slot, which is very inconvenient for Yang Bo's backpack.

Walk to the furnace and stuff the scrap metal and two "small crates" from your backpack into it.

Flames rose from the furnace.

"After finishing the anvil, we need to figure out how to make two funnels. Stuffing all this scrap iron into them one by one is a complete waste of time."

The furnace was quite fast at burning iron pellets. After burning all the scrap iron in his backpack, Yang Bo put the scrap iron that was thrown not far away back into his backpack and then stuffed the scrap iron into the furnace.

Time just passed by one minute after another.

"enough!"

Yang Bo immediately opened the workbench and combined all the iron ingots in his backpack into an iron block.

One iron block requires 9 iron ingots, and making an anvil requires a total of 31 iron ingots, which makes Yang Bo's already meager resources even worse.

Place the finished anvil next to the workbench.

He didn't rush to use it but continued to wait for all the scrap iron to be burned.

His iron sword has already been used, so enchanting it would be a waste.

He needs to make a new iron sword or iron axe.

As he waited quietly, a cloud of white mist appeared out of thin air not far away. Yang Bo was slightly taken aback: 'A new customer?'

With a thought, he took the iron sword and shield from his backpack, and he had become quite adept at using the backpack.

A weary figure, leaning on a wooden cane, staggered out of the mist.

"Mr. Yang Bo..."

thump…

Tanjiro Kamado lay face down on the grass block, his fate unknown.

Yang Bo quickly put away his sword and shield and ran over, reaching out to turn the filthy Tanjiro over.

His once handsome face was now stained with a lot of blood. Yang Bo reached out and touched Tanjiro's nose before letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Just being alive is enough."

He helped Tanjiro up, took out a bottle of almond water from his backpack, and carefully poured it into Tanjiro's mouth.

"Almond water" is considered a major source of hydration for homeless people in back rooms. It provides hydration and basic nutrition, and one bottle is equivalent to a meal on average.

It can relieve fatigue, heal abrasions, neutralize infections, and alleviate auditory and visual hallucinations, palpitations, and depression.

After drinking the almond water, Tanjiro slowly opened his eyes, his crimson eyes revealing exhaustion.

"Mr. Yang Bo..."

"Don't talk, just open your mouth and drink it all."

Yang Bo poured the almond water into Tanjiro's mouth. With such a 'treasure' on his side, Tanjiro's condition recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The minor wounds on his arms and forehead were slowly healing, and some color returned to his pale face.

"how do you feel?"

Tanjiro struggled to his feet and bowed deeply to Yang Bo: "Thank you, Mr. Yang Bo. I'm sorry for troubling you. I'm much better now."

"Alright, no need to be so polite."

Yang Bo reached out and helped Tanjiro up: "What happened to you? You look so disheveled."

Tanjiro smiled and said, "I passed the trial."

Yang Bo was slightly taken aback. Tanjiro had come the day before yesterday, and he clearly remembered that the final selection condition for Fujikasa Mountain was to survive on Fujikasa Mountain for 7 days. Only two days had passed, and Tanjiro actually said that he had passed the test.

"You survived for 7 days on Fujikasayama?"

Tanjiro nodded.

Upon receiving the response, Yang Bo immediately understood one thing: the flow rates of the two worlds were different, and the specific time ratio was still unclear.

"Congratulations on getting what you wanted, Tanjiro."

"Yes, Mr. Yang Bo, I must thank you for the almond water and moth jelly you gave me. It was thanks to these two foods that I was able to pass the trial smoothly."

"You were able to pass the trial because you were strong enough. It has little to do with almond water or moth jelly. At most, they just make you recover faster after a battle."

Yang Bo turned around and went back to the furnace, putting new scrap iron in.

Tanjiro followed behind him and spoke up to defend himself: "No, the almond water and moth jelly you gave me made my mind more focused, which is why I was able to kill that mutated demon."

Okay, whatever you like.

Whether he drank almond water or ate moth jelly, apart from the taste and the restoration of his hunger, he did not feel the so-called mental boost.
