"A monster even more terrifying than skeletons has appeared!"
"Creepers were already strong, and now it's a Charged Creeper making an entrance!"
"Is it a boss? I can't imagine what kind of terrifying power it will unleash!"
"Is the block world finally sanctioning Jiuzhou?"
"This is great! Once Lexon dies, our Liberty Nation will be number one again!"
The moment the announcement appeared, the Liberty Nation audience started smiling again.
The Creeper, a green monster with a tall body and small feet. Its appearance is strange, unlike any known creature, yet it possesses immense destructive power.
Whether it was the players or the audience outside, they would rather face a skeleton than this powerful monster!
A loud thunderclap resounded, startling all living things.
On the Mushroom Island, startled by the thunder, the two Mooshrooms moved around erratically. It was only for a brief moment, but for Sam chang, who was at the very edge, it felt like Mount Tai was crashing down on him, a crushing weight.
He suffocated in pain for several seconds before it quieted down.
His body was in pain, but his face was extremely happy.
"A Creeper! Lexon is dead for sure this time!"
Unlike zombies and skeletons, this creature has unique biological traits. It doesn't eat, it doesn't do anything, and it doesn't even fear the sun or burn to death in the daytime.
If it's not killed, it won't die!
Its body is like a giant bomb. It will approach a player and explode.
Even if you attack it, as long as you don't kill it before it explodes, you *will* take the explosion damage!
Very unfortunately, a Creeper's explosion damage is twenty points. Players nearby will be insta-killed!
Even if you actively move away, the Creeper will automatically seek out the player, as if it was born to explode.
Faced with this kind of suicidal enemy, the players couldn't think of any way to deal with it!
"A Charged Creeper... its damage and range are both even greater than a normal Creeper!"
It has the same health as a zombie. A stone sword needs four hits to kill it.
But the Creeper's self-destruct is extremely fast. Often, by the time the second attack lands, it has already exploded.
"With only that much space, where can you run?"
Sam chang couldn't wait to see Lexon's skyblock razed to the ground!
"Even a Charged Creeper has come out!"
"Holy crap, I was just celebrating solving the food problem. What now!"
"Even if he has a skill, he can't 'ripen' a Creeper, can he?"
"Sigh, the skyblock is so small. There's nowhere to even run."
"Is this the end?"
The Jiuzhou audience was extremely worried.
He killed over a thousand zombies... was he really sanctioned because the number was too high?
On the skyblock, a Creeper spawned on the roof of the stone house.
Lightning struck. The Creeper's body began to glow with an electric light, as if an extremely powerful force was brewing within it.
Dazzling, flowing, shadowy lightning covered its body. It faintly had an air of sacred majesty!
"Quite the entrance."
Lexon glanced at the Creeper and chuckled.
If he hadn't gotten the announcement beforehand, based on this entrance, he would have thought the Wither boss had spawned.
'It's rarer than a normal Creeper, true, but in the end, it's still just a Creeper.'
'They're really making a fuss.'
'The explosion does have high damage, so the most important thing when killing a Creeper is distance control.'
'Possessing the Hand of Steve... on the surface, it's infinite stamina, indestructible.'
'In reality, my ability to hit mobs and break blocks also far exceeds a normal person's.'
'Whether it's zombies or skeletons, to damage them, a normal player must make the weapon physically connect with their bodies.'
'It's fine for other monsters, but when facing Creepers, players often die in the explosion because their weapon's reach isn't long enough, leading to poor distance control.'
'But with the blessing of the Hand of Steve, I just have to swing my sword in that direction, and any monster in range will automatically take damage.'
'It's effectively increased my attack range and flexibility.'
Under the protection of the lightning, there was still some time before the Charged Creeper would make its move.
It couldn't get past the stone house for the moment. He finished chopping the nearby oak tree, collected the logs, apples, and saplings, and turned to the crafting table.
An iron ingot was taken out and placed in the top-middle slot of the crafting table. Then, he arranged wooden planks in a Y-shape.
Unlike the game, which shows the resulting item in advance, the block world has no crafting recipes. Players must explore on their own to find out what items can be crafted into what.
And what Lexon was crafting was the most practical, cost-effective piece of equipment in MC:
A shield.
'Although the Hand of Steve gives me a three-block attack range, the Charged Creeper has double the explosion range and damage.'
'That terrifying power... even with a Golden Apple and a full suit of Netherite armor, you can't tank it.'
'To be safe, it's best to equip a shield.'
'Even if I don't make it now, I'll need it later. It's just a few planks and an iron ingot.'
The drop rate was a bit low, but after killing over a thousand zombies, he had a good dozen-plus iron ingots.
He switched his weapon to an iron sword, and he was wearing an iron chestplate.
He wasn't worried that the crafting recipe would be broadcast and learned by others. The arena only broadcast the view; it wouldn't show the crafting table interface. Others couldn't learn it even if they watched.
'As for things like bone meal, the most basic of basics, so what if others learn it?'
'The really big, interesting stuff... I haven't even used that yet.'
'Besides, with this world's understanding of MC, he believed that even if he demonstrated it, no one would understand.'
"This should be enough."
A sword in his left hand, a shield in his right. Even though they were all made of iron, Lexon didn't feel tired at all lifting them.
He finished his preparations. In the distance, the Charged Creeper finished brewing.
"It's finally starting!"
"There's no choice. That thing isn't afraid of sunlight. You can't run, you can only fight!"
"Even a boss has appeared on the first day! A large-scale civilization is terrifying!"
"Big brother, you can do it!"
Under the world's gaze, the Charged Creeper locked onto Lexon and climbed down the stone house.
The fully formed Charged Creeper looked no different from a normal Creeper, the only change being the layer of blue electric arcs surrounding it. This made the already terrifying Creeper even more menacing!
Choosing to attack proactively, Lexon met it outside the stone house.
*Smack!*
He jumped and struck with his iron sword, dealing damage to the Charged Creeper from two blocks away.
[-9!]
The attack was made in mid-air, without touching any blocks, triggering a critical hit!
It knocked the Charged Creeper back one block. He pressed his advantage with another strike.
[-6]
Bad luck this time, no critical hit.
After two hits, the Charged Creeper only had five health points left. One last hit would kill it.
However, before the third sword could strike, the Charged Creeper's body suddenly began to swell. As if filled with some gas from the inside, it grew larger and larger.
"It's going to explode!"
Sam chang, who had been spying, said with delight.
"At this distance, Lexon can't dodge in time. He'll definitely be hit by the blast radius!"
"The damage is doubled! An iron chestplate can't block that attack!"
Noticing something was wrong, Lexon retreated. At that moment, the Charged Creeper expanded to its limit.
*BOOM!*
A huge explosion rang out, kicking up smoke and dust.
All the viewers' hearts were in their throats.
"It exploded! What a huge radius!"
"It's twice as big as a normal Creeper's! Lexon was hit!"
"An iron chestplate can barely block a normal Creeper, and the damage is doubled..."
"Is Lexon... dead?"
