A gentle breeze blew, and outside the village, Yang Tao swung his Red Matter Hammer, knocking down a Sunflower and storing it in his backpack.
The effect of this Sunflower was quite abnormal.
When placed on the ground, it increased the movement speed of nearby characters by 18% and reduced the monster spawn rate in the vicinity.
"It's fine without Calamity."
Terraria with and without Calamity were completely different worlds; without Calamity, there were no abnormal accessories, which was a bit of a shame.
"To get rich, first chop trees... No, that's not right. I don't even have the crafting recipes from the Terraria world. What's the use of wood?"
However, he still walked up to an oak tree, raised the fist sword in his hand, and struck the trunk.
With just one hit, the entire tree exploded into a large amount of oak logs that fell to the ground.
There were also some acorns, which were the 'saplings' of the Terra world. After casually planting the acorns on the ground, he walked deeper into the forest.
Behind him, the village disappeared into the dense forest, and the atmosphere in the forest changed slightly, with rustling sounds coming from the thick bushes.
Several Slimes of different colors appeared around him; their oval bodies quivered, making them look very cute, but unlike their small size in the game.
Even the lowest-level Green Slime was over a meter tall.
These guys did not attack Yang Tao but wandered aimlessly around him.
'They're quite cute...'
He took out the Copper Shortsword that Guide Jack had given him from his backpack and threw it to a Green Slime that had jumped next to him.
Bang...
-1
The Green Slime, having been attacked, started shaking much faster and leaped, crashing fiercely into Yang Tao.
'No Town Slimes??? Does this world also differentiate between versions?'
Another difference from the game was that these Slimes seemed to have chain aggro; after he hurt one, all the surrounding Slimes were attracted and jumped towards him.
He took out his Void Gold Lance from his backpack and lightly stabbed the Green Slime.
The green body instantly burst open, and some coins and gel dropped out.
52 Copper Coins, 12 Gel.
"It really does take Looting!"
The Copper Coins and Gel flew into his backpack together, and with a flash of his blade, the surrounding Slimes all turned into coins and materials, flying into his backpack.
Clearing out the surrounding Slimes, Yang Tao continued to explore outwards, and soon he arrived at a small lake. Goldfish swam in the clear lake water, and there were also some wild ducks with green patterns on their bodies floating on the lake's surface.
Yang Tao smacked his lips and muttered to himself, "It's getting dark, it's time for dinner..."
He took out a full set of cooking utensils from his backpack.
His gaze fell upon the wild ducks on the lake. He instantly appeared next to a wild duck, giving it no time to react, and directly reached out and grabbed its neck.
Quack quack... Quack quack...
This wild duck struggled much more fiercely than the previous rabbit.
Bleeding, plucking, marinating... his movements were fluid and seamless. He sat in his office chair, quietly waiting for the food to marinate.
He looked up at the sky, where white clouds floated, and soon Yang Tao noticed some unusual clouds.
They were suspended motionless in the air.
"It looks like those clouds are the Sky Islands..."
However, Sky Islands didn't have much value; items like Starfury, Wings, or Horseshoes weren't as valuable as Solid Clouds.
Just as Yang Tao was about to eat his fill and fly into the sky, a faint smell of blood entered his nose.
This peculiar scent of blood came from all directions, making it impossible to find its source.
A faint blood-red mist gradually appeared around him, and although it didn't significantly obstruct his vision, it cast a terrifying aura over the forest.
Roar~
Some strange roars sounded, and figures appeared faintly from within the trees.
Soon, the owners of the sounds walked slowly out of the forest towards Yang Tao.
Roar~
They were Zombies, their bodies rotten, with some parts already exposing bone. A nauseating stench mixed with the smell of blood drifted over.
'Blood Moon on the first day? Is this good?'
Blood Moon was a special event in the Terraria world, during which the monster spawn rate and monster strength would increase.
Some flesh balls, about a meter in diameter, also drifted out from the forest. The flesh balls were covered with constantly blinking eyes, and fresh red blood continuously dripped from their bodies.
Drippler.
The name was very ordinary, but this Cthulhu-esque flesh ball made one's scalp tingle just by looking at it.
However, Yang Tao was now immune to all poisons; this level of monster could no longer cause him any discomfort.
"What a pity, the duck meat just marinated... Looks like I'll have to eat it tomorrow morning."
A massive lance appeared in his hand, and Yang Tao effortlessly stabbed at the Drippler that had already reached him.
Pfft...
Blood splattered, and the spherical Drippler exploded into a pile of minced meat as if a bomb had been installed inside its body.
At the same time, many silver coins dropped from the Drippler's body.
15 Silver 25 Copper.
Looting is truly satisfying!
Swish, another Drippler burst open. Yang Tao, like a god of slaughter, played a game of massacre in the open space next to the small lake.
The ground was covered with severed limbs and blood, which flowed along the ground, dyeing the small lake blood-red. Some corrupted Goldfish with crimson eyes crawled out of the lake water, wriggling on the ground towards Yang Tao.
A skinless Zombie, its body covered in flowing blood, was directly smashed into meat paste by Yang Tao's lance, and a large amount of money mixed with Bait Buckets dropped from its corpse.
Coins and items were automatically collected into his backpack, and Yang Tao swept his lance horizontally, clearing out all the surrounding monsters.
'This feeling of monsters dropping items is just too great... But the number of monsters is indeed a bit exaggerated. I wonder if other adventurers are experiencing the same...'
Late at night, a blood-Crimson Moon hung in the sky. The surrounding environment was identical to the Crimson Forest, except that the trees were not alive.
Yang Tao stood by the small lake, scattering the bait from the Bait Buckets into the lake water, while some Mutated Iron Golems stood around, clearing out the endless monsters.
A Bait Bucket was a consumable item that, when thrown into liquid, increased fishing power. The fishing power bonus depended on how many Bait Buckets were thrown onto the liquid surface.
One bucket would add 11 fishing power, two buckets added 17, and three buckets reached the maximum bonus of 20.
Yang Tao had at least a thousand buckets in his backpack, so he didn't hesitate and directly threw three Bait Buckets into the water.
Along with a splash, the crimson lake water seemed to undergo a slight change. Yang Tao took out his Divine Fishing Rod from his backpack and forcefully cast the bobber into the lake water.
'I hope I can fish up a small Boss...'
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, the bobber he had thrown into the water immediately sank. He pulled hard.
A rotting, half-human, half-fish creature covered in bone spikes appeared on the water's surface.
As soon as it appeared, it rushed towards the shore at an extremely fast speed.
