Chapter 44 Village in Distress
It had been a while since they arrived at the boat. Although Fang Bie had just hastily tied the boat at the Riverside, without the Water Flow and Wind force pushing it, this small wooden boat still floated strongly on the Water Surface.
After seeing that this boat did not have a Paddle, Fang Bie actually understood that the Version of his World should be before 1.9.
The Version of MC World was actually the Version of the Game. Because after Game Version 1.9, boats would automatically be equipped with Wooden Paddles, and the Speed of boats would also be faster than before.
Ethan was quite interested in all novel Things. As a somewhat bald middle-aged Person, his Method of showing interest was to research this thing by circling it.
Fang Bie had not said anything either, but when he saw Ethan take out his Sword, he quickly stepped forward to stop him.
However, Fang Bie was still a step too slow. He watched with wide eyes as Ethan split the boat into fragments all over the ground with a single Sword. Then, somewhat dumbfounded, he stood at the Riverside without saying a word, his Face full of embarrassment.
"Sigh!" Fang Bie shook his head, "Couldn't you have been a little slower?"
He took out two more boats from his Backpack and slowly placed them in front of Ethan, "Get on the boat first, I'll tell you about any Problems on the way."
There wasn't much to say about controlling boats. Fang Bie had easily mastered the Method of driving a boat in just two minutes, after all, it wasn't difficult.
Although Ethan had been slightly rash earlier, under Fang Bie's very careful teaching, he also mastered the Technology of driving a boat in the blink of an eye and was happily drifting here and there on the River.
"Fang, why did the boat suddenly fall apart?" Ethan was still used to chatting with Fang Bie in English. Fang Bie was also happy to converse in his newly mastered Language. The two of them hit it off.
"Boats are very light and convenient, but they are also very simple and crude. They will fall apart when subjected to impact or attack. However, as long as you control the force well, you can also turn boats into Blocks and collect them by your side."
As Fang Bie spoke, he lightly demonstrated. He punched the boat twice with his left hand, turning a boat directly into a Block floating on the Water Surface, and then easily collected it into his hand.
"Oh!" Ethan nodded, indicating that he already understood. He turned around and seriously drove the boat.
"You don't need to be too nervous. As long as we don't collide with the Wood at the Riverside, our boats won't fall apart." Fang Bie thought his boat driving Technology was very good, so he wouldn't take these Matters to heart.
"I think it seems a bit difficult..." Ethan said halfway, then suddenly shouted loudly, "Oh! Shark!"
Fang Bie followed his gaze and looked. On the distant River Surface, a black triangle was floating and slowly drifting towards them.
"It should be a Squid floating on the River Surface. Don't worry, it's a neutral Creature and won't attack us." Fang Bie had good eyesight and immediately identified the origin of this Creature.
"Oh, it's just a Squid..." Ethan breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he had been in this World for a few days, he was still not very used to the feeling of novel Things everywhere. But it was precisely for this Reason that he had come here despite Tony's persuasion.
After all, the Speed of a boat was much faster than running on foot. Fang Bie had previously wasted a lot of Time because he needed to search for all kinds of Things along the way. But now, that Village was already remotely in sight.
"Ethan, did you bring the Fence I asked you to bring earlier?" Fang Bie hurriedly got off the boat and asked, holding two brand new nylon Ropes.
"Brought it, brought it." Ethan was holding a Fence that looked like a Wooden Stick in his hand. He also took out two Wooden Planks and gently placed them down by the Riverside. A simple Dock then appeared.
Fang Bie took the lead to get off the boat, tied the Rope to the bow of the boat, and tied a Slip Knot on the Fence. He conveniently pulled Ethan, who was struggling to dock, onto the Dock.
"Your boat..." Fang Bie had just prepared to remind him to hold onto the boat, but the boat, under the reaction force of landing, dashed forward a step and directly collided with the Stone on the opposite bank.
"Thump!" Only a crisp Sound was heard. Only a few floating Wooden Sticks and Wooden Planks remained on the Water Surface. The previous boat had already disappeared without a trace.
"This is what I told you, it will fall apart after impact." Fang Bie was not angry either. He shrugged his shoulders and said.
"Then how do we get back?" Ethan asked somewhat anxiously. There was only one boat left.
"It's No Matter. Before we return, we'll chop some Wood and make two more boats here. Just leave them here." Fang Bie said indifferently, "When we have Time later, we'll make a Rail connecting all the way over here. That way, we can quickly make round trips."
"Hmm, that's right." Ethan thought about it and it seemed to make sense. The anxious expression on his Face disappeared, and he nodded calmly.
"From here, you can see the Village. You can see the tallest Building, which is a three-story Bell Tower." Fang Bie pointed at the Cobblestone Building not far away. After confirming that the boat was tied tightly, he took out his Iron Sword from his Backpack.
"Monsters generally appear near the Village, so be careful." Fang Bie reminded him. This was also the Reason why he hadn't stayed here longer last time.
In many Situations, Monsters are actually not interested in Players. It's just that because of the attack mechanism, Monsters that appear beside Players will attack them.
But Monsters have an unusual obsession with Villagers. Fang Bie had once used this Attribute of Monsters to create many types of monster spawning cages or monster spawning towers, which were almost always effective.
But this also means that generally, in Places where Villagers exist, there will be Monsters. This kind of Monster specifically refers to Zombies.
In MC World, Zombies also do not eat People, but they will beat People to death, or turn Villagers into their own kind.
Fang Bie remembered that feeding Zombie Villagers Golden Apples could turn them back into Villagers from Zombies. This was also considered one of the Game's hidden Attributes. Back when he was in Sky Island, he often refreshed all kinds of Villagers in this way.
"Understood!" Ethan nodded with a heavy heart. He also took out his Bow and Arrow. He had a good archery talent, and Fang Bie gave him all the Arrows he had hunted these past few days to use.
It was impossible for two Persons to both rush forward with Swords. One Person melee and one Person ranged was actually a more scientific battle allocation.
Even ancient Game Legends knew about the warrior-mage-priest allocation. Fang Bie of course would not make such a common sense mistake. Using this kind of tactics, they had once killed Zombies and Skeletons several times their number, and could be considered to have a coordinated tacit understanding.
"Whoosh!" The Sound of the Bow and Arrow piercing through the Air made Fang Bie's mind shake involuntarily. He hurriedly raised his Sword and looked over.
Not far away, a team of Zombies was staggeringly walking towards the Village. Behind the Zombies were also two Skeletons.
"Zombies are attacking the Village? We need to go help quickly!" Fang Bie said busily, and hurriedly quickened his Footsteps.
