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

Chapter 213 Open the door!

The ancient city lies beneath the main world.

"So, this is all that's left..."

Shi Qian tried all the relevant blocks, including basic ones like ignition and opening doors.

Now, the only relevant item left is one that he had hardly ever heard of before.

[Tracing the pointer]

This item resembles a compass, and is even made from a compass and an echo fragment, but its function is quite different, although both are pointer-type items.

The purpose of the trailing pointer is to point to the player's last death location.

Similar to the death coordinates of many mods, but you can't teleport directly there.

Even most streamers have hardly ever used this thing.

To be honest, if this thing still can't open the door, then Qian really can't think of anything else that could be related to this ancient city, or even the Dark Realm.

Fortunately, fate wasn't playing a joke on him.

In theory, this pointer should be spinning randomly if Shi Qian had never died.

Now, its target is very clear: a portal.

Even if Shi Qian turns around by himself, the pointer will always point to the door and will not change with his perspective.

The moment the pointer was thrown into the portal, Shi Qian's vision vanished.

No, it shouldn't be said that the field of vision disappeared.

Instead, the entire ancient city went dark, and even the Hidden Blocks stopped flickering.

Shi Qian turned on his night vision and was able to see things clearly again.

He hadn't turned the night vision back on after turning it off because it wasn't dark around him, and he could see clearly what would happen if he threw something at him.

So much so that he accidentally fell into a trap.

And now, the portal is open!

But it feels a bit abrupt, not like the usual style of a portal...

What about being struck by lightning?

What about the strong winds?

The set of equipment used to open the door is all gone, as if it has lost its function here.

This is currently the only exception, but this change is not necessarily a good thing...

Shi Qian didn't rush to enter, because this portal was also very strange.

It's gray and dull, not the usual swirling pattern, lacking that flowing, dynamic feel.

Instead, it's like jelly, or slime and honey cubes, which are very sticky, gelatinous, and static.

This was the first time he had ever seen such a strange thing in Minecraft...

Most importantly, this portal... it... does not... emit light!

As we all know, portals are light source blocks; even in the darkest places, there is still some light.

But not only does this portal not emit light, it also absorbs light.

Shi Qian took out a torch, then turned off the night vision, and everything went dark.

It's important to know that this Minecraft game has ray tracing, so even if you hold the torch in your hand, it will still emit light.

Torches, lanterns, campfires, flint and steel, glowstone...

Even after the self-luminous object emitted its light, no light appeared.

Shi Qian almost doubted whether he had placed them properly, but when he turned on his night vision, he saw that the torches and other torches were lying on the ground in the form of blocks.

"Strange..."

In those dark realms, the previously glowing Hidden Cubes no longer glow.

After glancing at the portal, Shi Qian decisively chose to jump off the statue.

He wanted to see if the Shadow Sensor and the Shadow Screamer in the dark could still be used.

Now Shi Qian really wants to call out those who persevere, because they shine on their own.

Unfortunately, it seems that all life here was completely taken away the moment the portal opened.

After calling out to all the defenders without success, he even burrowed underground to the surrounding area, rendering the Dark Domain in this region ineffective.

"We don't know how far the impact will be..."

Shi Qian scratched his head; the CPU had overheated slightly.

"Could this thing control all the Dark Realms?"

But if it's just the Dark Realm, it's actually not too bad.

But all the glowing blocks I just released stopped glowing.

The culprit is the portal, the root of everything.

If he wanted to know the reason, the first clue would be the other side of the portal.

Well, there's no way around it, it's a portal, you have to go through it.

It's over in the blink of an eye.

However, Shi Qian couldn't bring himself to touch the gray, sticky substance, so he simply turned off his night vision and went for it.

The instant he entered, he immediately activated his earth-burrowing ability...

Meanwhile, within the Frozen Dimension.

"Finally found it..."

After searching the entire dimension, Shi Qian finally found a new pile of white crystal rocks, which was larger than the previous one.

He was certain that with this lump of crystal rock, he could figure out what was behind the "crystallization of the wave of life".

That is, the trigger condition has finally been met.

He immediately pulled Ran Xiao over to be his laborer and watch him dig.

"Should we just leave the portal open for the day, with no players allowed to enter?"

When Shi Qian posted this message in the group chat, he was surprised to see Ke Cheng cheering.

Although it's only three short words.

"Great!"

Looks like they're really exhausted...

It's a pity that the portal can't be made into an automatic ticket checker, otherwise there would be no need for Ke Cheng and the others to be ticket checkers.

The energy core can't affect the portal, and it can't even directly take items from the player's inventory, which is a shame.

but...

Wouldn't this be considered a waste of human resources?

Shi Qian scratched his head, unsure how to define this matter.

But before she could come up with anything, Ran Xiao had already dug up all the white crystal rocks.

"Hey boss, what's the use of these crystal rocks? There seem to be so few of them, and I've never seen them before."

Although Mo Niao had mentioned it briefly before, Mo Niao hadn't really said much.

All he knows right now is that crystal rock can make purple particles appear on that crystal; he really doesn't know anything else.

However, this question is also difficult for Shi Qian to answer.

Because he and Ranxiao knew the same thing, neither of them knew what came next.

However, it would be too rude to simply say "I don't know".

"It's still in the experimental stage. We'll show you when the results are available."

After saying that, he used the boat to scoop Ran Xiao back to the portal entrance.

Ranxiao: Huh?

Seeing the familiar dummy leader, Ran Xiao immediately started shaking him wildly.

"Boss, finish what you're saying!"

The players around them, who had come in groups to enter the dimension because they heard that admission was free today, were all stunned.

Shi Qian took the white crystal rock to his favorite place.

It wasn't a laboratory, but rather the large open area where we had dug up the white crystal rock for testing last time.

The pure white crystal rocks, and the white crystal rocks we dug up last time, are all here.

The very center of these cubes is the crystallization of the tide of life.

The crystallization is caused by the purple particle effect constantly emitted by the surrounding crystal rocks.

The density is so high that it almost covers the crystals.

Slowly pile up the white crystal rock until it completely encapsulates the crystal, forming an almost solid structure.

The pure white crystal rocks are located at the four corners and below the crystals.

When the last piece of white crystal rock was placed on top.
