Opening the box and looking at the chaotic materials, accessories, and weapons inside, Yang Tao nodded with satisfaction.
"The efficiency is really good! More importantly, this is a long-term business!"
He took everything out of the box and put it into the Conversion Table, then left the Dungeon where he had stayed for a night.
Arriving at the Dungeon entrance, Yang Tao's gaze fell upon the old man pacing back and forth in the hallway.
'Dungeon Guardian…'
The Dungeon Guardian's refresh rate could easily contend for the title of 'Model Monster'.
If the old man's curse were lifted, then the Dungeon Guardian would disappear from this world forever.
To be honest, Yang Tao was a bit reluctant.
Just then, the old man also noticed him, and with scarlet eyes, he shuffled towards him.
"Adventurer, if you want to challenge my master, then come at night…"
Yang Tao, who had been distracted, looked outside the Dungeon upon hearing this; the dark sky had receded, and the sun was casting its warm light.
A green Goblin wearing leather armor and holding a longbow appeared outside the Dungeon entrance.
Whoosh.
An arrow flew directly towards Yang Tao's face.
'Goblin Invasion??'
He reached out and easily deflected the arrow, then said to the old man, "You stay outside for two days; I'll come find you after I deal with Plantera."
After Plantera is dealt with, the monsters in the Dungeon will upgrade, and by then, a few Dungeon Guardians won't be much.
As soon as he finished speaking.
Yang Tao's figure appeared beside the Goblin archer, and looking around, he found Goblins everywhere.
"No progress bar?"
Helplessly, his golden finger was Minecraft, not Terraria, so some things simply had no prompts.
Boom.
A sudden thunderclap appeared in the clear sky, and several bolts of lightning fell from above.
Boom boom boom…
The Goblins rushing towards Yang Tao fell in droves.
A large amount of loot covered the ground, giving a strange sense of satisfaction at a glance.
About half an hour passed.
The once dense Goblin army was reduced to only a scattered few, two or three remaining.
Yang Tao reached out and grabbed a Goblin warrior trying to escape, and the Last Sword in his hand easily pierced through the heavy armor on the fellow's body.
Some coins and drops flew into his backpack.
"Since you're already here!"
Two thunderclaps took out the two Goblins preparing to flee, and then all the loot on the ground was cleared.
'It seems the Goblin invasion event is over.'
The Goblin Invasion is a special event in the Terraria world; as long as the Goblin Invasion is defeated, the Goblin Tinkerer, whom the Mechanic secretly admires, will randomly appear in the Cavern layer.
This guy can be said to be the most important NPC in the entire game.
The Goblin Tinkerer's reforge option allows adventurers to randomly apply modifiers to weapons or accessories.
This will make the item better or worse than its original state, and the cost of reforging is one-third of the item's current value.
Later on, reforging once would cost dozens of gold coins.
In addition, the Tinkerer's Workshop, Rocket Boots, and even the Ruler he sells are important items.
The Tinkerer's Workshop is the crafting station for accessories; without it, one can only use some basic accessories to challenge later Bosses.
'No, just thinking about this guy makes my kidneys hurt…'
It was hard enough to save up enough money for reforging, and then he'd give a 'Broken' modifier; in such a situation, one would even feel like smashing their computer.
Fortunately, he later added many lazy mods, otherwise, this guy would have shattered his Dao heart.
'First, I'll speedrun Wall of Flesh, then I'll go find this guy.'
Summoning Wall of Flesh requires going to the Nether.
The Nether in the Terraria world is at the very bottom of the world, and like the Nether in Minecraft, it is a world covered in magma.
After a brief thought, Yang Tao returned directly to his 'home' area, took out the Red Matter Hammer and Red Matter Katar, and dug downwards in one go.
Thump thump…
Along the way, whether it was stone, dirt, or minerals, anything that blocked his path was completely cleared by Yang Tao.
With a crisp sound, all the stones under his feet flew into Yang Tao's backpack, and a fiery red magma lake appeared in the cave below.
'Looks like it's almost there!'
In the lower part of the Cavern layer, magma pools will appear; he plunged into the magma and continued digging downwards.
The flow rate of the magma was much slower than Yang Tao's digging speed.
As time passed, the stones underfoot were replaced by Ash Blocks; this material is the 'Hellstone' of the Terra Nether.
Seeing it meant he had arrived at the Nether; Yang Tao dug away the Ash Blocks, revealing the fiery red magma sea below.
"Here!"
Flying down from the opening, he was met with several fireballs the size of human heads.
He quickly dodged.
Only then did Yang Tao have time to take in the scenery of this Nether world.
The entire Nether landscape was full of exotic charm; the scorching magma sea constantly churned, with occasional bubbles rising from deep within the magma.
Some scattered black islands dotted the magma, and on these islands were some black ruined structures, like watchtowers, with no windows, only black doors.
The extremely hot air was filled with the smell of sulfur; for ordinary people, let alone surviving, just breathing would be a problem.
Waterfalls formed by lava cascaded down from the dome, creating a beautiful sight.
'It seems no worse than the Nether scenery in Minecraft… No, it should be even better.'
It was better because of the monsters here.
The number of monsters in the Nether was simply too many; while he was momentarily dazed, a squad of demons flapped their wings and flew towards him.
These guys all had grayish-black demon wings, dark red skin, a pair of curved horns on their heads, and their hands and feet were replaced by sharp claws—a very standard Western demon appearance.
As they rushed towards Yang Tao, they left behind trails of purple, rotating blade-like magic attacks.
At the same time, a bone serpent, completely reduced to bones, quickly swam towards him in the magma.
Nether Bats, Lava Slimes, Fire Imps… It could be said that all the monsters that could spawn in the Nether were here.
He reached out and gently tapped the lava sea below, and a series of water balls flew from his hand.
Then, accompanied by a sizzling sound, large areas of magma were turned into obsidian.
This was the ability of the Tidal Charm from Equivalent Exchange; one only needed to mentally command it to fire a gravity-defying Tidal Orb, with no consumption whatsoever.
The Tidal Orb had three abilities:
First, it could turn surrounding lava into cobblestone or obsidian.
Second, upon contact with an Entity, it would cause a knockback effect and extinguish any flames on the Entity.
Third, upon contact with a block, it would generate a flowing water source, and if it flew into the sky, it could cause rain/snow weather.
Yang Tao landed directly on the obsidian platform, took out his magic wand from his backpack; it was more convenient to use magic to deal with these numerous monsters.
"Summon Skeleton Army!!"
A crisp sound of bones clashing was heard, and a group of skeletons in chainmail crawled out from under the obsidian; half of them held longbows, and half held iron swords.
Skeleton
Health 660 / 660 (20% of Yang Tao's health)
Attack 165 (5% of health)
Duration 3307 seconds (100% of health)
"Go, eliminate them!"
Both sides could only be described as evenly matched, a chess game between worthy opponents.
Demon
Health 360 / 360
Attack 126
