Minotaur Labyrinth.
The entrance to the Minotaur Labyrinth was shaped like a small, domed hill, but this small, domed hill had long since fallen into disrepair, with some of its internal structures exposed.
Yang Tao rode his magic broom directly into the domed hill, where a well protected by iron bars was located in the center.
"This labyrinth entrance is interesting; it's a well opening."
Of course, this well opening was indeed a bit large.
The entire labyrinth was constructed from cyan labyrinth bricks, which are the bane of pickaxes; their special properties make them extremely difficult to mine.
Fortunately, their blast resistance value is very low, so if one is tormented by the labyrinth, TNT can be used to clear a path.
However, Yang Tao did not choose to do so; he leaped down from the well opening, arriving at the first level of the underground labyrinth, and was greeted by monsters as soon as he entered.
Bang...
Bang...
When attacking from a distance, guns are still more effective.
The monsters in the labyrinth include many unique and special ones: Labyrinth Slimes, Slime Beetles, Fire Beetles, Pinch Bugs, Cave Spiders, Creepers, and so on...
After clearing out all the overly enthusiastic monsters, Yang Tao saw a treasure chest placed in a corner: "I didn't expect to see a Mimic here too!"
There are indeed treasure chests in the labyrinth, but a treasure chest appearing so openly in an empty space is extremely rare.
He raised his gun, aimed at the treasure chest, and pulled the trigger; flames rose from the Mimic's body, and the attacked Mimic opened its bloody maw and frantically leaped towards him.
Yang Tao watched the Mimic, which had delivered itself, with a chuckle, slowly drawing his Yamato.
Kills +1
He looked in surprise at the faintly glowing radiant soul fragment on the ground.
"Is this Mimic considered a Boss?"
In the entire mod, there is only one creature, the Mimic, and Yang Tao never expected it to be considered a Boss creature.
Picking up the dropped accessories and experience, Yang Tao continued deeper into the labyrinth.
Half an hour later.
"Am I lost?"
The area of the labyrinth should also be three or four times larger than the original, and the small map's display range is completely insufficient for the Minotaur Labyrinth.
Yang Tao looked around at the identical passages, feeling as if he had returned to the Backrooms.
"What a scam! Why make such a good labyrinth so big? If you really don't want others to get the treasure inside, why not just destroy it?"
There is a layer of bedrock between the first and second levels of the labyrinth; otherwise, he would have dug straight down long ago.
'I still need to find the Labyrinth Map Core to create the labyrinth map.'
The paths inside the labyrinth are very winding, and most areas are completely dark without any light.
So, an important item is needed: the labyrinth map.
And the creation of the labyrinth map requires the Labyrinth Map Core, which interestingly generates in some chests within the labyrinth.
This means you need to explore a part of the labyrinth to get it, and if your luck is bad...
Yang Tao summoned his magic broom and immediately began full-speed exploration mode; some monsters wandering in the labyrinth only felt something intruding into their alert range, and by the time they came to their senses, they could only see Yang Tao's disappearing back around the corner.
Monster: "???"
Aside from finding the Mimic, there was nothing that could stop Yang Tao's exploration.
With the boost from the magic broom, Yang Tao's exploration speed was greatly enhanced, and soon the wooden fence at the end of the labyrinth corridor caught his attention.
"Found it..."
Yang Tao immediately flew over.
Several Minotaurs, bull-headed monsters wielding golden axes, discovered him, the uninvited guest, and began stomping their feet rapidly in place.
This was a premonition of their charge.
When these things appear in groups, they are the biggest threat to original adventurers; they can literally charge a person to death.
"Moo-Moo... Moo-Moo..."
This group of Minotaurs charged towards Yang Tao, emitting demonic sounds from their mouths; the Yamato unsheathed, easily dispatching a few charging Minotaurs.
This room had four pillars, two of which contained the treasure chests Yang Tao had been longing for, a Minotaur spawner, and a trap with a wooden pressure plate.
After dealing with the Minotaur spawner, he opened the treasure chest and found the Labyrinth Core inside.
...
Even with the help of the labyrinth map, it was half a day later by the time Yang Tao found the Minoshroom.
"Moo-Moo..."
In the mushroom room covered with mycelium, the Minoshroom kept calling out to him through the wooden fence.
"Moo-Moo your head!"
Bang, bang.
One Supernova took the Minoshroom's life, and the second was to desecrate the corpse.
The Minotaur only serves as a mini-Boss; before version 1.18.2, it didn't even have a Boss health bar, and its difficulty was actually lower than that of the Naga.
It only has 160 health points, which is simply a disgrace to the Boss world.
"You play foreplay for half a day, but you can't even last two seconds. If you can't, then don't be a Boss; come out and be a regular monster."
After complaining, he walked into the mushroom room, opened the loot chest, and took out the most important item inside, the [Minotaur Salad Meat], and ate it.
"It actually tastes good!"
He came to the Minotaur Labyrinth just for this bowl of [Minotaur Salad Meat]; eating it would lift the Hydra's flame barrier.
Yang Tao looked at the mycelium blocks under his feet; these are also a special item, which in the original Overworld requires finding a mushroom island and using Silk Touch to obtain.
He took out the Netherite Hoe with Silk Touch he had previously, and collected some mycelium blocks to take with him.
After looking around and confirming there were no valuable items, he reluctantly reached out and summoned a wooden door.
Making him return the way he came would be no less than making him die and return again.
"It's too disgusting... Let's rest. How about going to the The Outcast world to relax? Or going to Level 365 to clear my head with Sightless Seer?"
He put the items from his backpack into a chest, especially the [Labyrinth Breaker] pickaxe, which he had gone to great lengths to obtain.
The [Labyrinth Breaker] can be found with a chance in chests in the Minotaur Labyrinth's hidden rooms, and it comes with fixed enchantments of Efficiency IV, Unbreaking III, and Fortune II.
It can accelerate the destruction of various labyrinth building blocks, and its inherent acceleration effect on labyrinth blocks already exceeds the effect of the Efficiency enchantment.
This pickaxe is currently useless to him, serving only as a souvenir.
He walked to the desk and sat down in the office chair.
Thinking about the Knight Stronghold, which was still underground, Yang Tao felt like he didn't want to go to the Twilight, but the intelligent Ice Queen made him reluctant to give up the idea of seeing her.
He took out a cup of Seer Tea he had brewed earlier and took a sip. After much thought, he felt it would be better to go to the The Outcast world for a bath and a massage.
This way, he might even encounter some plot characters and obtain Tinkers' Construct or a Katana-related mod.
