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

What the heck...

This was Shi Qian's first thought after he fell.

He descended about ten blocks before landing on the ground. When he looked up, all he could see was pitch blackness; he couldn't see anything at all.

It looks like that semi-transparent thing completely surrounds this area.

But... where is this place?

Shi Qian looked around and saw that there was no gray substance underneath, and he could still see clearly with night vision.

But Shi Qian was stunned when he saw it clearly.

Netherrock?

No...it doesn't seem like it.

This is... the old version of Netherrock?

You should know that in the early days of Minecraft, Hell was truly hellish.

The Nether Rock resembled a cube formed from solidified flesh and blood; it was brittle and covered with numerous bright red marks.

It is said that this thing used to be called bloodstone.

Shi Qian touched it, but there was no response.

This is the second time today that the highlighting has been problematic. Or is the highlighting only pointing out things he doesn't recognize?

Wow, that's pretty smart.

But why would there be such a place on the seabed, even below a boiling spring?

This space isn't very big; it's a 3x3x3 area.

Except for the top of my head, the surrounding area and the ground are all old-style Nether Rock.

"Don't tell me... hell is actually on the other side of this dimension..."

Shi Qian planned to dig deeper to see how big the place was.

But as soon as it exploded, the entire space shook.

Shi Qian was presented with a dizzying effect similar to a teleportation portal, but he remained motionless in place.

This dizziness seemed to have the ability to invade the mind; he now felt as if his brain was being pricked with needles.

At the same time, Shi Qian's other two bodies were also affected to varying degrees.

The consciousness on this clone number one is multifaceted. It was just patrolling the sea surface when it suddenly curled up and fell back to the seabed.

Although the second clone, which was chasing the physical entity, had less consciousness, its radar was also about to fail, and it stumbled and almost lost its footing.

The entity seemed stunned when it saw him like that, paused for a moment, and then immediately continued running forward.

The second clone turned its radar to the minimum and staggered after the main body.

Shi Qian reclaimed most of No. 1's consciousness to confront the dizziness.

He felt nauseous, but unfortunately, the cube-shaped man didn't have a stomach, so he couldn't vomit at all.

This 9-square-meter space remained completely unchanged after he blew it up.

He could only lean against the wall to try and overcome the dizziness.

"What on earth is that strange thing...yue..."

Shi Qian kept gagging, and it wasn't until much time had passed that the dizziness gradually subsided.

After relaxing, Shi Qian collapsed onto the ground.

My head hurts so much.

Shi Qian dared not dig any further now, even though he hadn't lost any health.

But this kind of mental pressure is really disgusting, even more annoying than directly taking away half of his health.

The key point is that pain immunity seems to only protect him from physical attacks.

The fundamental resistance in one's mindset is unstoppable.

All he wants to do right now is get out of here; this thing is just too uncomfortable.

then...

Shi Qian took out the magma from his bag.

LOL, you should at least scald this thing before leaving, since you can still swim in lava anyway.

Shi Qian felt that this space might not be a cube at all, but rather the body of a living being.

That wasn't Nether Rock at all, but rather the flesh and blood of this strange thing.

Holy crap, there are so many strange things in the ocean! Is this a gathering place for bizarre species?

Before releasing the magma, Shi Qian focused his main consciousness on his clone number one.

Because the second clone didn't feel much pain at first, it only started to hurt after the clone focused its consciousness back on the main body.

It seems that the intensity of pain is determined by the total amount of consciousness.

Controlling its main body, it poured magma at the highest point it could reach, and the magma slowly flowed downwards through the gray matter.

Just before they were about to encounter the "Lower Boundary Rock," Shi Qian took out a large number of instant damage potions and poison potions from his bag.

The moment the magma came into contact with it, the area began to tremble again.

It was even stronger than the last time.

The walls and floor throughout the space were constantly flashing red images of injuries.

After the lava dropped another level, Shi Qian slid up to it.

He positioned himself at the highest point where he could clearly see inside, and began frantically throwing potions, arrows, and tridents.

Every now and then it would explode, the trident stabbing incredibly fast.

During this time, the creature resisted, constantly putting mental pressure on him until he fainted.

However, Shi Qian's pre-planned strategy was correct.

The Shi Qian body, which only retained a trace of its controlling consciousness, would not be affected by that much at all.

At worst, you'll just have to float up and down in the lava and you won't be able to throw potions as quickly anymore.

After throwing up round after round of medicine, Shi Qian finally couldn't feel that sensation anymore.

The radar, which was activated after the initial shock, showed that the entity had disappeared.

Shi Qian redistributed his consciousness to the three bodies according to the previous amount.

However, he noticed that there was no familiar system notification sound this time.

"No, what about your abilities? Aren't they diminishing?"

You should know that even small things like zombie worms give you skills when you kill them.

Such a huge thing, with mental abilities, and it gives nothing after it dies? That's so stingy.

Shi Qian didn't complain for too long. He was just trying to get revenge for the brain-piercing incident, so if they didn't give it to him, they didn't give it to him.

However, just as Shi Qian was about to go up, those "lower boundary rocks" began to slowly dissolve.

Yes, dissolved.

It dissolved and disappeared in a way that defies the logic of Minecraft.

Perhaps it's the manner of death...

Shi Qian had seen similar creature death settlement screens in other modules before.

Without the Nether Rock blocking their way, the surrounding blocks revealed their original forms.

This dimension features unique water and stone mixed with rocks, with blue and gray colors layered on top of each other.

But the lava that had been spread out on the ground was still slowly flowing downwards.

This proves that what lies beneath this is not a block foundation, but rather other spaces.

?

"There are other strange things?"

Shi Qian was very cautious this time. He didn't jump directly, but instead slowly descended along the lava.

With the help of night vision, he could see clearly.

Below this is a huge hole.

The top of the cavity was about the same size as the pool of water.

Below the top of the cave, there wasn't much water stone left; instead, it had turned into pure rock mixed with some lapis lazuli fragments.

A natural underground cave...

Further down, Shi Qian is not visible much in the middle.

It was as if there was some kind of fog below, making it impossible to see through.

However, the outlines of some buildings can still be vaguely seen.

Shi Qian turned the radar up to its maximum, but there were no physical creatures below; it was like a ghost town.

Since there was no threat, he bid farewell to the lava and slowly floated down from the side.

Thanks to the slow descent, he was not injured in the fall.
