This MC is so original

"The second method is much simpler."

Lu Xiu pointed to the fortifications he had built. It was called a fortification, but in fact it was just a small tunnel that was only two meters high and one meter wide.

"Wither Skeletons are 2.4 meters tall. As long as you build a 2-meter-high fortification like I did, they can't get in and kill them at will."

In order to demonstrate to Zhongli, Lu Xiu even ran out to lure the remaining four wither skeletons over. As a result, just as Lu Xiu said, this group of wither skeletons were crowded at the entrance of the small tunnel and couldn't get in no matter what.

"It's... that simple?"

Zhongli felt a sense of unreality. He had just regarded those creatures as terrifying and horrible, which could threaten the safety of the people of Liyue, but now it only took such a simple method to trap them.

"The third method is a bit more reckless. Bring a few buckets of milk and drink while fighting them. Of course, I don't know if the milk you handle can remove the Wither effect."

"Milk removes the Wither effect? ​​Isn't that a bit ridiculous?"

Zhongli was a little unconvinced. If Lu Xiu said that drinking milk could supplement calcium, he would believe it, but could a strange curse like the Wither be lifted by drinking milk?

Lu Xiu shrugged helplessly. "I can do it, but I'm not sure about you. If you're not afraid of death, you can try it yourself. Now I have to work, so stay away."

Lu Xiu chopped off a wither skeleton's head with his axe again and again. After a few blows, the wither skeleton, which Zhongli regarded as Liyue's greatest enemy, fell down.

Lu Xiu took a look and shook his head in disappointment. "No Wither Skull dropped. Oh, this Rock King really doesn't do anything. I prayed to him so sincerely, but he didn't help. The local gods are too lazy!"

Zhongli's mouth twitched as he listened, and he coughed twice speechlessly.

"Well, Mr. Lu Xiu, I'm thinking, could it be that the monster didn't lose its head because you smashed its skull with those axe blows? This shouldn't be the Rock King's fault, right?"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must be that the Rock King Emperor is not doing anything and not blessing me."

P.S. Chapter 5? If I'm wrong, please remind me. I'm a bit confused now. I've mixed Red Bull, Monster, and Lehu, but it doesn't seem to work. I really want to sleep.

Chapter 51: Now that we are in Piglin Fortress, of course we have to seek excitement!

Zhongli, feeling somewhat amused, suggested, "Then why don't you try to chop its neck directly, Mr. Lu Xiu?"

"Okay, I'll try."

Since it didn't cost any money to try, Lu Xiu tried to just chop the wither skeleton's neck. Fortunately, changing the direction of the attack did not change the damage caused by Lu Xiu.

After a few axe blows, the wither skeleton fell to the ground, and a complete wither skull head fell off and was sucked into Lu Xiu's backpack.

[Unlock Achievement: Horror Skull]

[Achievement Points: 50]

"Fuck!"

Whether it was the dropped wither skull or the achievement points given, Lu Xiu was surprised.

"I didn't expect that after getting the Real World Texture Pack, I could actually get a Wither Skull this way. Hey, if I had known this would happen, why would I have prayed to the Rock King? He didn't bless me anyway."

Lu Xiu suddenly felt that his previous earnest prayers were in vain.

Zhongli behind him was speechless for a while, his eyebrows twitching uncontrollably, and finally turned into a silent sigh.

Afterwards, Lu Xiu followed suit and dealt with the remaining three Wither Skeletons, and obtained three Wither Skeletons. Now, all three Wither Skeletons needed to summon the Wither were gathered, and there was one extra.

"And soul sand."

Lu Xiu took out a shovel and started digging the soul sand on the ground. Since he was here anyway, he would need the soul sand, so he might as well dig enough at once. He stopped only after filling a set of soul sand.

Lu Xiu and Zhongli walked out of his fortifications. Hu Tao, who had been standing on the nether rock, was relieved to see that they came out safely.

"You two finally got out. Are you not hurt?"

Both of them shook their heads and continued walking in the direction Zhongli had mentioned earlier.

A few minutes later, the three of them finally left the range of soul sand. Walnut jumped down from the last stepping block and stomped her feet on the nether rock.

"Hey, when I first came to this world, I thought this nether rock was pretty ugly, but after seeing soul sand, I suddenly think it's quite pleasing to the eye. Should I use the nether rock to make four stone lanterns and place them in the formation?"

"If you want, you can pack some souvenirs to take back later, but for now, I think it's better for you to hide first."

Lu Xiu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

[Unlock Achievement: Glorious Years]

[Achievement Points: 50]

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Zhongli also noticed that there was something wrong with Lu Xiu's expression. He went from being calm at the beginning to being very excited?

Lu Xiu pointed to the ruins in front of him, which were made entirely of gray-white, unknown rocks. He said, "This is one of my targets, the Piglin Fortress. It's inhabited by creatures called Piglins. They are more intelligent than Pigmen, but they are still hostile to humans."

"Hostile? Don't worry about that. Don't be fooled by my pretty face. I'm actually quite good at fighting!"

Seeing that she finally had a chance to show herself, Hu Tao wiped her nose proudly and put the spear on her shoulder. She had been a drag on the whole journey before, but now she could finally show off her style as the master of the Wangsheng Hall!

Lu Xiu raised an eyebrow at Hu Tao in surprise and asked with a half-smile, "Are you serious?"

Walnut nodded. "Of course! I'll go in and beat all those piglins to pieces!"

"Then, lady, I'll trouble you to cover me when the time comes."

"no problem!"

Zhongli remained silent. Judging from the uncontrollable smile on Lu Xiu's lips, there must be something fishy going on.

"Mr. Lu Xiu, if there's any danger, please tell me directly. Our hall master is rather... well, optimistic, so I'm worried that she might get into trouble later."

Since Zhongli said so, Lu Xiu naturally wouldn't hide it anymore.

"It's dangerous, but don't worry, Zhongli. These piglins can't cause any negative effects on people like wither skeletons do. They are just pure creatures, just like the Hilichurls, but they are more powerful than most of them."

"Of course. If you don't want to fight them, just wear gold equipment. That's as long as you don't steal from them or fight them."

After explaining to Zhongli and Hu Tao, Lu Xiu took out a pickaxe and chiseled open the outer wall of the Piglin Fortress, creating a path on the wall that was just big enough for one person to pass through.

After the road was dug through, Lu Xiu was surprised to find that this passage led to the bottom floor of the Piglin Fortress, where the treasure chests and gold blocks were stored.

There were also a large number of piglins inside, but Lu Xiu didn’t take it too seriously. After all, he was as familiar with the Piglin Fortress as his own home.

"Just wait for me."

Having said that, Lu Xiu walked in, but soon walked out again.

Following behind him came a group of pigmen holding golden axes.

Walnut exclaimed, "You told us to be careful, but you attracted so many piglins. What are you doing?"

Lu Xiu laughed as he ran all the way, "Since we've come to the Pigling Fortress, let's make it exciting to the end!"

As he said this, he turned around and threw out the thirteen gold ingots that he had prepared long ago.

Zhongli and Hutao originally thought that Lu Xiu had just made an operational mistake, but they didn't expect that the pig spirits could not move after seeing the gold ingots thrown by Lu Xiu. They all stopped and picked up the gold ingots on the ground and looked at them in their hands.

[Unlock Achievement: Glittering Gold]

[Achievement Points: 50]

"Wuhu, it's really exciting."

Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lu Xiu calmly changed into a golden helmet.

Then he walked over to the group of piglins, and while they were still looking at the gold ingots in their hands, he used a pickaxe to dig the blocks under their feet until they fell into a two-meter-deep pit, and then he took back the pickaxe.

"Okay, you guys stay here and help me watch these piglins. I'm going to go in and open the box first."

Lu Xiuzhen was about to leave when Hu Tao grabbed him. When he turned around, he saw Hu Tao looking pitiful.

"Take me with you, I haven't seen what the piglins' fortress looks like yet!"

Zhongli also came over silently. Although he didn't say anything, anyone could see the burning curiosity in his eyes that he was also very curious about the structure inside.

Lu Xiu hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go in and see if there's any gold equipment in the box. If there is, I'll take it out and put it on you so you can go in. If not, then there's nothing I can do."

"All right!"

Walnut immediately nodded and agreed.

After getting rid of the two people's entanglement, Lu Xiu went straight into the fortress, looked around, and found that there were only a few pig spirits wandering around on the upper floors, and there was not a single one on the bottom floor. Only then did he feel at ease and came to the treasure chest in the center.

He first used a pickaxe to chisel off the surrounding gold nuggets, and then he opened one of the wooden boxes in front of him. The things inside made Lu Xiu's eyes light up.

The first thing that caught my eye was an ancient debris. Although there weren't enough of them to make a Netherite Ingot, it was enough to unlock an achievement.

In addition to the ancient debris, there is a name tag and three diamonds, as well as an enchanted gold breastplate and enchanted gold trouser legs.

"Tsk, it's a shame there's no enchanted diamond armor. But Hu Tao and Zhongli are really lucky. They actually have gold equipment. Let me see what the enchantment is. If it's a good one, I can only make ordinary ones for them."

Lu Xiu shifted his gaze to the two enchanted gold equipment, and two scarlet enchantment names came into view.

[Binding Curse]

P.S. I can’t hold on any longer. This is the nth one. Sorry, I’m about to fall asleep. I’ll get up tomorrow and see how much I’ve written. If there’s less, I’ll make up for it. Sorry.

Chapter 52: The Pig Spirit Who Trades Based on Face Is Trash

"Hiss... Binding curse... Good stuff, save it for Hu Tao and Zhongli."

Seeing this familiar curse, Lu Xiu couldn't help but recall the time when he tricked his friend into wearing armor with a binding curse, and then the other party had to ask him to help beat him up until the durability of the armor was exhausted.

There was even one time when Lu Xiu spared no expense to upgrade a diamond armor with binding curse and durability into a netherite breastplate, and tricked his friends into wearing it, so that he was beaten for the next hour to consume his durability.

After selecting the loot in the box, Lu Xiu only took the diamonds, ancient debris and the two pieces of gold equipment with bound curses.

[Achievement Points: 10]

After opening one box, Lu Xiu directly gained 50 achievement points, which was considered a great harvest, not to mention that there was another box next to him that had not been opened.

When he opened another box, the first thing that caught his eye was an emerald green enchanted diamond armor that occasionally flashed with lavender light.

Moreover, the above enchantments are also very good, one with protection level three and one with durability level three.

The first time he saw it, Lu Xiu decisively took it out of the box and put it on.

[Unlock Achievement: Diamond Body Guard]

[Achievement Points: 10]

"Another 10 achievement points, so nice."

After putting on the diamond armor, Lu Xiu glanced at the remaining things in the box. Apart from a few iron ingots and gold ingots, he only cared about the fire bombs. He ignored things like the golden horse armor.

After putting all the useful things into his backpack, Lu Xiu walked out of the Piglin Fortress. Zhongli and Hu Tao were sitting and chatting beside the big pit where the Piglins were imprisoned. When they saw Lu Xiu coming out, they raised their hands and greeted him.

Hu Tao excitedly stood up from the stone and asked impatiently, "Lu Xiu, can we go in and take a look now?"

Lu Xiu nodded, pretending to be tired and took out the two pieces of gold equipment with binding curses from his backpack.

"This is the equipment I brought out from the Piglin Fortress with great difficulty. As long as you two wear it, the Piglins won't attack you. Of course, if you encounter Piglin Brutes, just ignore me. But I see that several Piglin Brutes have been lured into this cave, so there shouldn't be any left in the fortress."

As he spoke, Lu Xiu distributed the gold equipment in his hand to Zhongli and Hu Tao.

"Hu Tao, you're a girl. For your safety, I'll give you this golden breastplate with a higher armor value. Zhongli, you can wear these golden trousers."

After handing the two very miniature gold equipment to Hu Tao and Zhongli, the two of them looked at the equipment in their hands with some confusion. They originally wanted to ask Lu Xiu how to wear such small equipment, but they just thought about it and the equipment was automatically worn on their corresponding parts.

"Wow, that's kind of cool~"

Hu Tao moved her upper body with a look of curiosity. She found that the gold equipment that seemed to affect her movements would actually change into corresponding postures after she put it on her body. This made Hu Tao feel no restrictions when moving her upper body.

However, the price she paid was that her originally slim figure became very bloated, and although the golden breastplate looked shiny, it did not conform to her aesthetic taste.

Zhongli didn't have as many thoughts as Hu Tao. Instead, he secretly gathered elemental power on his fingers and began to test the defensive performance of the golden leggings.

The result was beyond his expectations. The protection of the golden leggings could actually reduce the damage received by a percentage. Even Zhongli couldn't help but admire this magical effect.
