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

Chapter 140 Outside the Desert Oasis... [Song of War]

Shi Qian even flew around this cluster for a long time and found that no matter which way you entered the cluster, you had that feeling.

It can be described as a comprehensive defense, with its main focus being to keep out outsiders.

While it's possible to force Shi Qian in, there's no need to push oneself so hard.

Instead of wasting time, we might as well change direction and see if there are any other biomes in this dimension.

After going around in circles, Shi Qian returned to the portal.

At this moment, there were only a few scattered players at the portal, all wandering around looking for directions.

Shi Qian's surprise attack really startled them.

After being forcibly logged off, these players went to Ranxiao's account to complain.

They said they wouldn't care about them, but they still came back and killed them all. They had no sense of martial ethics whatsoever.

However, when Ranxiao sees such comments, she just smiles and applauds her boss, without replying at all.

Using the portal as a fixed point, Shi Qian chose a route that was opposite to the direction he had initially taken.

They did encounter some players along the way, but as long as they didn't spot Shi Qian, he didn't bother with them.

He felt that some information from the player's perspective might be needed now, and allowing players to explore freely was not a bad thing.

Once things are almost settled, let Ranxiao and the others gather information, so I won't have to run around like crazy.

Most of the groups along the way are ones I've already traversed.

However, what puzzled Shi Qian was that no matter which direction he went, as long as it was a group of organisms with sandy soil on the ground, he still felt uncomfortable all over.

As a result, whenever Shi Qian encountered such a situation later, he would simply say "bad luck" and turn around to change direction.

It's too uncomfortable; I don't want to go inside even a little bit.

Until a vast expanse of emeralds suddenly appeared before my eyes.

It's not a real emerald, but a desert oasis that could be called an emerald.

This oasis resembles a typical oak forest in the main world, with a small lake in the very center, which is the only water source Shi Qian has seen so far besides the fruit.

The desert oasis truly lives up to its name; it's teeming with life.

Moreover, even those creatures that are hostile to each other do not show any hostility towards other creatures here.

He saw a hawk and a rabbit, both lying by the lake drinking water, practically "right next to each other".

A perfect habitat, but it's too small...

As Shi Qian landed, two phantom wings carried three "group sparrows" behind him, protecting him on both sides.

In this oasis, all the creatures that Shi Qian had seen in the desert and those he had never seen before appeared.

There are even two other types of people.

Fang Xu's life and those "beast tamers".

And a humanoid creature that I haven't seen before, and I don't know which biome it inhabits.

The new person looks very human, you could even say he looks like a normal person.

His skin was much fairer than that of the "Beast Taming Sect," which was perfectly normal, except...

What they are holding in their hands.

It looks like a scepter, with a blue, translucent bead at the very top.

It feels very similar in color to the energy bar of Fangxu Life.

Why does this dimension feel so out of place?

This newly emerged human type seems to have something to do with magic.

but...

It's important to know that there are already two styles in this dimension: one that focuses on technology and the other on pet taming.

Well, it wouldn't be unreasonable for another magic spell to appear.

But that's just too unreasonable!

If we were to use online novels as an analogy, it would be like science fiction, fantasy, and Western fantasy appearing in the same book.

It feels so eerie...

Three types of people, three art styles, different character models and outfits, different power systems, fighting?

Are you really not kidding?

Shi Qian was in a real bind.

He's too scared to go anywhere now; he needs to calm down.

So, Shi Qian left again shortly after stepping into the oasis.

He didn't know where to go, so he lay on the back of the phantom and let them carry him around aimlessly.

Three eaglets sat nearby, enjoying the scenery.

However, before they had flown very far, Shi Qian hadn't even calmed down yet.

The rumbling sound came from his left.

Startled awake, Shi Qian sprang to his feet and looked toward the source of the sound.

That was sandy land, the main ecosystem of life in the village.

Shi Qian has already figured out the main habitats of Fangxu Life and "Beast Taming Sect", and the remaining one who can use magic is most likely in the hilly habitat with thorns.

"go!"

So it really is a state of war...?

The closer Shi Qian got, the heavier his heart became.

We don't know who is fighting whom, how many casualties there are, or the extent of the war. Regardless of who they are, they are all lives, lives in this dimension...

The rumbling sound had been almost continuous since it started.

According to MC's time, it should be a little after 2 PM.

At noon, the sun is at its hottest, baking the desert...

And they...

In the constant struggle, battles, firing weapons, wounding, death...

That was a battle between the people of Fangxu and the one with the staff.

Cannonballs, magic, and various energy effects intertwined with the rising sand and blood mist.

Shi Qian felt that he had underestimated the world...

I also overestimated my psychological resilience...

The sounds of roaring engines, clashing weapons, colliding bodies, falling, screams, and cries...

Shi Qian had indeed read those fanfics, but at this moment, he believed that only this could truly be called a "Song of War"...

War...tsk, rotten stuff.

Who would like war...?

But Shi Qian forced himself to keep looking down and not leave when he was running away.

People came from behind.

They were people from the "Beast Taming Sect"...

The battle situation became even more chaotic.

The instruments in "Song of War" are also more numerous.

The sharp cry of the hawk, the howls of the wild beasts, and the sound of the charioteer blowing his horn.

Unlike the goat horns in the original Minecraft, the horn sounds here are much higher-pitched and more exciting.

But this situation adds a touch of sorrow.

why?

What exactly happened here to cause this kind of war?

Is it really just because food is difficult to produce?

Or is that just the apparent reason, with many more unknown, major events in the past that affected the entire dimension?

Moreover, it seems that those members of the "Beast Taming Sect" were not there from the beginning.

In Shi Qian's view, they were indeed the ones who joined later.

This fight could have been completely avoided...

Why must we fight?

Is there something that snowballs like eternal day and eternal night?

This has created an intractable problem, one whose source cannot be traced, and one whose solution cannot be found...

Shi Qian was high in the sky, and it seemed that no one had noticed him.

People of three races were busy fighting and killing each other.

Very realistic combat...

There is blood, the energy fluid of those living beings, the hair of organisms, fragments of plants, sand, and dust.

Mixed together, these dissipated elements seem to be locked in a ceaseless, endless struggle...

The battle continued, and the smoke of battle never dissipated.

until...
