Chapter 50 What are you looking at?
"Boss... are these terrifying guys all on our side?"
In the oak forest, Su He led his monster army and a group of villagers toward the base.
Zombie Number One and Drowned King each held a rope, guarding the separated villagers of conscience and those of evil heart, respectively.
As for the other monsters, they were all kept relatively far away from the villagers' group, forming an encirclement around them to prevent too many monsters from causing panic among the villagers.
On the way back to base, we also encountered quite a few wild monsters.
Su He also took the opportunity to contract another spider to be his mount.
"Yes, these monsters will be your companions from now on. The two monsters of your kind who are leading you can understand what you are saying."
"After you come back to base with me, you can ask them for help if you need anything."
"Yes, yes, I'll remember both of them."
The simple-minded villager nodded in response to Su He, while his gaze would occasionally drift towards the spider sitting beneath him.
When the villagers first saw Su He riding on the spider, they were tempted to imitate him and wanted to use the spider as their own mount.
But just as it found a spider and was about to place its enormous body on it...
The multi-eyed creature, however, showed no mercy and bit its rear end.
The simple-minded villagers now dare not get too close to Su He, fearing that the spider beneath Su He's seat will bite them.
To familiarize themselves with the terrain after the beacon upgrade, the main force returned to base via an unfamiliar route instead of the old one they had taken.
As for whether you'll get lost on unfamiliar routes, there's absolutely no need to worry about that.
After obtaining the redstone, Su He had already crafted an item that perfectly solved the problem.
That item was a compass.
This item is rarely used by most Minecraft players, and some have never even touched it.
But it is still very useful for Su He's world.
Contrary to common sense, the compass in Minecraft doesn't actually point south; it actually points to the player's spawn point.
This effect is particularly useless for players, since apart from the nice scenery at the spawn point, it doesn't offer any other special advantages.
Most players do not build their base near the spawn point.
Of course, the position the compass points to can also be changed.
As long as you have a magnet, you can bind a compass to it, and the compass will then point in the direction of the magnet.
By placing a magnet in the base, a compass can accurately help you find your way and guide your direction.
However, Su He didn't need to go through all that trouble. Since he transmigrated to this world, he had never changed his base location and had always stayed peacefully at the world's birth point.
So even without deliberately using a magnet, the compass was able to help him return to his base.
The main force proceeded in an orderly manner along the new route for a while, when suddenly a wide-open, brand-new plain appeared before them.
From afar, Su He spotted an Enderman carrying a grass block on the plain.
This was the first time Su He had seen such a monster on his own territory since the iron beacon was upgraded.
Enderman, also known as Little Black.
Many veteran Minecraft players are probably familiar with this.
This is a creature that will remain neutral unless you look into its eyes.
It is three blocks tall and has the ability to teleport and grab blocks.
What's special about this organism is that it is weak in water.
The simplest way to deal with this creature is to build a two-block-high arched structure, which will eliminate it without taking any damage.
Su He often did this when he first started playing Minecraft.
The only basic drop from an Enderman is an Ender Pearl. If you kill an Enderman while it is holding a block, the Enderman will drop the block it is holding as well.
Having an Ender Pearl grants you the same teleportation ability as an Enderman, but it's a one-time use.
Each teleportation consumes one Ender Pearl.
Ender pearls also have another use: crafting Eyes of Ender.
It can be used to locate the End Portal, and it is also a key item to activate the End Portal.
Activating the End Portal will take you to the End, where you'll find the iconic final boss from the original Minecraft—the Ender Dragon.
When Su He first saw the Enderman, he hesitated. Should he try to subdue it through a contract or kill it directly?
After all, this was the first time he had encountered an Enderman in his own territory.
Endermen are much rarer than monsters like zombies, skeletons, and spiders.
Before a way to reach the End is found, relying solely on wild spawns will not yield enough Endermen to form an army.
However, as long as you can contract an Enderman, its teleportation ability will definitely provide your monster army with a strong ability to scout and explore.
As things stand, the little black contract is definitely more beneficial than harmful to Su He.
One reason is that even if you kill an Enderman, you may not get an Ender Pearl, and the improvement a single Ender Pearl can bring is very limited.
On the other hand, it's also because the information provided by the iron beacon doesn't mention anything about End creatures.
In contrast, the information about all the creatures in Hell was clearly listed on the information panel.
This might indicate that at this stage, we may not yet be able to reach the End.
Thinking of this, Su He roughly estimated the distance between the team and the Endermen.
Just as they were pondering this, the Enderman in front of the group teleported again, even getting closer to them.
Judging from the distance, Su He boldly looked directly into the Enderman's eyes.
The plan is to lure it over and then take the opportunity to subdue it through a contract.
In Minecraft, simply staring at an Enderman's head for 0.25 blocks within a 64-block distance will enrage them.
Su He stared at the Enderman for a long time, but it showed no sign of being attracted.
The Enderman stood there motionless, staring at him silently, showing no sign of coming to attack.
"What's going on?"
Su He rubbed his forehead. He had been staring at this Enderman for so long, he should have angered it by now.
But the shadowy figure was not angered by him; instead, it stared back at him normally.
This completely violates the original design mechanics of Minecraft.
However, such an anomaly is not impossible.
Su He immediately realized that the reason why this Enderman was acting so strangely was definitely related to its stats panel.
