Part 14: Mining The Sensor
Kenji and Kira ventured cautiously into the foreboding depths of the Deep Dark biome, their footsteps hushed as they aimed to avoid any noise that might awaken the fearsome Warden. Their eyes were fixed on the Skulk Sensors ahead, a precious resource for their quest.
"Up ahead are the Skulk Sensors, we have to just mine it without making any noise and get out of here."
Kenji said.
"Easier said then done..."
"But mining it will create sound, do you know how to avoid that?"
Kira replied,
As they approached the Skulk Sensors, Kenji carefully extended his hand to mine one.
"Let's just try if it even makes any sound first."
Kenji said, while trying to mine a Skulk Sensor.
"Eeeeek-ek-ek-ek!"
But the sound it made upon extraction triggered the nearby shriekers, causing a chorus of alarms that reverberated throughout the cavern.
"Ohh! no, maybe we can't just mine it like that..."
Kenji said trying to think up of a plan.
"I said so didn't I, so do you have a plan...!"
Kira said, sounding confident and smirk about it.
...
Part 15: Experience From Past Life.
The duo knew the danger all too well—if the shriekers set off two more times, the Warden would awaken from its slumber, and their mission would turn perilous.
Thinking on their feet, Kenji and Kira quickly assessed the situation.
"Aaa I've got a plan, I was already prepared for it."
Kenji said.
"So, what do we do as to not wake the Warden up."
"You know right, another 2 times we make noise and the Warden wakes up."
Kira said.
"Yea! Yea! I know about it..."
Kenji said, sounding confident and trying to not get worked up.
"I mean I have experience from my previous life..."
He whispered.
"Huh! you said something, I didn't hear that."
Kira asked, not hearing that.
"It's nothing, it's nothing don't worry about it."
Kenji said, trying to brush it off as nothing.
...
Part 16: The Plan!
The solution was clear—they needed to cover the shriekers with wool block to silence them and prevent further alarms from being triggered. Wool, a suitable material for muffling sound, became their weapon against the impending threat.
"So you understand how we do it..."
"We will cover all the Skulk Shriekers from all sides with wool blocks."
"That way it won't get triggered by any noise."
Kenji instructed Kira.
"Huh! are you sure it will work..."
"I've never heard anyone doing it like that."
"Well, I'll do it as you say."
"Not like any better ideas."
Kira said.
"Don't worry, don't worry it will work, just trust me."
Kenji confidently said with a smiling face.
...
Part 17: Plan In Action.
With precision and agility, Kenji and Kira crouched and covered the shriekers one by one with wool, ensuring their eerie wails were stifled. As the last shrieker was covered, a wave of relief washed over them. Now, they could move without the dread of setting off another alarm.
"All done, now we can relax and don't have to crouch all the time."
Kenji said.
"Are you sure, I'm still having trouble believing it that wool block can stop Skulk Shriekers from triggering."
"I never knew about about this, I believe nobody from the village knows about this."
"But I guess, this is good..."
Kira said, with a relief face.
With the shriekers subdued, Kenji resumed his mining of the Skulk Sensors, inching closer to completing the quest that had brought them to this treacherous place. Each Skulk Sensor added to his inventory felt like a small victory against the formidable challenges of the Deep Dark biome.
"We're done now just have to return to the village..."
"I'll say this was a quest gone well..."
Kenji said proud of his accomplishments.
"Yea you're right..."
Kira agreed.
But amidst the task's completion, Kira's gaze shifted, catching a glimpse of something that left her breathless with wonder.
"Huh! what is that..."
"Is it some kind of structure I've never seen?"
In the distance, a mysterious structure rose from the shadows—the Ancient City. Its dark, intricate architecture stood as a testament to the secrets concealed within.
Kira's excitement bubbled over, her curiosity overtaking her sense of caution. Unable to contain herself, she broke into a run towards the Ancient City, her heart racing with anticipation. The allure of the city's enigma was irresistible, drawing her closer with each step.
However, the thrill of discovery came at a cost. Kira's sprint triggered a cacophony of sound as she moved towards the Ancient City where the Shriekers were not covered. The eerie symphony of alarms shattered the silence of the biome, casting an ominous aura over the scene.
As if in response to the clamor, darkness engulfed the duo's vision. The very air seemed to thicken with tension, signaling the awakening of the Warden. The formidable guardian of the Deep Dark was now on the brink of entering their reality, its powerful presence casting an aura of dread upon the adventurers.
Kenji and Kira stood frozen in the midst of the chaos they had inadvertently triggered, the gravity of the situation sinking in. Before them stood not only the enigmatic Ancient City but also the formidable Warden, an adversary they were ill-prepared to face.
"Maybe I shouldn't have ran...!"
Kira said in regret.
