Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

But the players weren't pushovers either; they had clearly rehearsed beforehand.

They reacted extremely quickly, gathering together and rushing towards the pile of drowned corpses.

The drowned corpse seemed to be outmatched; no matter how many tridents it threw, they were always stuck on the outermost edge, blocked by the shield.

Although some tridents can pass through gaps between shields, they cannot harm too many people.

When one of the peripheral players dies, another player will fill the gap, and the overall size will continue to shrink, making the arrangement more compact.

This is really giving the drowned zombies a headache; they've all started using melee attacks to poke at them.

In close combat, players will also retaliate.

For a time, the monsters were losing resources faster than the players.

However, players are not invincible.

Due to the difficulty in obtaining turtle shells, only a few players possess them to date.

The guild's peripheral players are basically all about physical prowess.

This means that players will need to go up into the water to breathe.

This is when the players' defenses are at their weakest.

The drowned can then attack from below again, and players need time to pause while breathing on the surface.

A large group of players floated up like bubbles and then drifted away in the water.

Everyone needs to breathe, so it's natural that people will crowd together.

Ran Xiao was very anxious underwater because at the same time, another player was coming from another direction on the surface of the sea.

The drowned would naturally not be able to move all the monsters to the same side.

After all, the portal is located in an area that is completely open on all sides, and enemies could come from any direction.

Just as Ran Xiao was about to go up and help the drowned corpse deal with those casual players, she saw a group of people coming from underwater in the distance.

They all had turtle shells, and their equipment was quite good.

Looking around, there seemed to be some familiar faces, but Ran Xiao couldn't remember who they were for a moment.

Some drowned zombies had already gone to stop the player, so he quickly rushed over as well.

After getting closer and getting a clearer look, Ran Xiao realized that it was a group of well-known strategy guides from the forum who had brought the players over.

However, he didn't recognize any of these names; he doesn't often browse the strategy guide section.

"Please let us pass..."

"No."

Upon hearing this, Ran Xiao immediately launched a flying sword at him.

The diamond sword struck the opponent's armor, bounced back quickly, and was caught by Ran Xiao.

"Either swim back yourself, or go back dead."

After guarding the gate for so long, Ran Xiao finally snapped.

He immediately began making threats, brandishing his sword with both hands.

"Sorry, we have to go check it out."

Hilarious! This is a perfect opportunity for an exclusive report.

Moreover, if he runs in, Ran Xiao is unlikely to follow. If he goes in and there's no one guarding the outside, it will be even more difficult.

So they felt they had to take a chance, just in case they actually got in.

They weren't the only ones with the same idea.

The area above the ocean is the battlefield for most players and drowned zombies, while there are hardly any drowned zombies guarding the area below.

Players with turtle shells generally want to raid from underwater, even though they might encounter drowned zombies.

However, the stronger drowned have all gone to hunt bigger targets, leaving behind mostly weaker drowned.

With the idea of ​​"taking a gamble and turning a bicycle into a motorcycle," they charged straight up.

Things went just as they expected, despite encountering a drowned corpse.

However, the number of players they have to deal with is much smaller compared to those on the water.

If one has good agility, one can quickly disperse the drowned corpses and then deal with them one by one.

There weren't enough drowned corpses underwater, so if Ran Xiao had to take care of one side, she wouldn't be able to take care of the other.

He should eliminate all the players in front of him as quickly as possible. The underwater area is also his main battlefield, where he is quite adept at fighting.

After dealing with this area, they quickly moved on to other areas, and the number of players underwater began to increase.

It feels like all the players with turtle shells gathered here today.

Ranxiao has been playing the game for almost two days and nights.

The number of players has not decreased at all; on the contrary, it seems to be increasing.

Some have already come from the inland areas; they're moving very quickly.

With such a large amount of resources being consumed, the number of drowned zombies is visibly decreasing, and players are being eliminated as they get closer and closer to the portal.

Finally, Ranxiao found herself somewhat powerless.

While he was fighting with the group of players, he didn't notice a player wearing a turtle shell who slipped into the portal from the other side.

This player came alone; with few other players, he wasn't as noticeable.

After dealing with the drowning zombies chasing him, and before Ran Xiao could even notice, he went straight into the portal.

The players who were fighting Ran Xiao obviously saw each other and their eyes lit up.

The player standing inside the portal made a shushing gesture at them.

They were signaled to keep quiet and not to attract Ran Xiao's attention.

Seeing that some players had successfully entered the portal, these players worked even harder, as if their fighting spirit had been awakened all at once.

They even forced Ran Xiao to retreat a bit.

Ran Xiao seemed to have sensed something, and when she turned around, the door was fine.

He then continued to raise his sword and slash at the players.

But not long after, he heard a voice that brought him terrible news.

[Congratulations to player [Aqi] for becoming the first player to officially enter the new dimension "Frozen Ocean". The achievement system has been unlocked, and player Aqi has obtained the game's unique "Explorer" title.]

The system notification sound played three times in a row before stopping.

Upon hearing this news, all the players simultaneously stopped what they were doing.

Players in the water, dazed and confused, were quickly dealt with by the drowned zombies, turning into a large pile of loot.

Ran Xiao turned around blankly, the door was still there, still empty.

But it seems something has changed, something has broken...

The title of "Explorer"...

It's somewhat ironic.

I never expected this game to be played like this.

If Shi Qian were awake at this moment, he would probably be wondering why this game has some online game characteristics.

The players felt as if they had opened the door to a new world. Their blood was boiling, and their combat power doubled, all for the sake of taking a peek into that new world.

Only one person is different.

Ranxiao seemed oblivious to the chaos and turmoil of the world.

Staring intently at the portal, he wanted to take a step forward...

But a bubble slowly escaped from his mouth and rose.

It blurred my vision, and then it exploded.

The explosion brought Ran Xiao back to her senses, and she picked up her enchanted diamond sword and began swimming towards the newly arrived players.

Ah Qi...he recognizes him.

The most famous strategy guide provider on the forum, with strong skills and exploration abilities.

The title of "Explorer" is well-deserved...

But thinking this way, Ran Xiao felt a little unwilling.

He could have stopped it..., right?

The player wasn't quick enough to react and wasn't observant enough, giving others an opportunity to exploit the situation...

It's his problem...

He raised his sword and slashed down, seemingly in a frenzy.

They showed no mercy to the remaining players.
