Jack was too lazy to comment on Lisa taking things from her MC backpack but rummaging in her chest. He said directly,
"The Wilderness Offering requires defeating a creature called a Wilderness Chimera. This creature is summoned through a ritual. Lisa, you, who have been studying the spellbook, should know what ritual it is."
"As for the Nether Star, hmm… I'm planning to farm some Withers later. Let's just go together."
...
The Wither is one of the original bosses in the MC World.
It can be summoned by arranging three Wither Skeleton Skulls and Soul Sand into the shape of a Wither.
However, in the dragon adventure integration pack,
our Wither has also been "corrupted."
Upon defeat, it drops something called Evil Essence.
This is one of the raw materials for crafting the high-tier seven curses ring series accessories.
Of course, Jack, who currently doesn't wear the seven curses ring, doesn't need these materials. All he wants are two items: the Wither Eye and the Nether Star.
The former is one of the materials needed to open the End Creation Gate.
The latter is another type of advanced material that is more widely used in the mod pack.
When fighting the Wither, it's important to note that the Wither has flight capabilities and strong block-destroying power.
Therefore, the best battleground is to dig a narrow passage downwards.
Summon the Wither underground, directly trapping it like a turtle in a jar.
...
Somewhere far from Entara's territory, in a cave 500 meters deep underground.
Several torches illuminated the surroundings as if it were daylight.
This was where Jack and others were preparing to summon and kill the Wither.
Besides him and Lisa, Ningguang had also followed along.
"Actually, I just need to slash a few times with my greatsword; you two don't need to follow."
"What, elder sister just wants to gain some experience, is that not allowed?"
"It's fine, but don't blame me if you get covered in dirt and dust later."
Jack naturally had his concerns about not letting his wives come along.
Safety was secondary.
The main reason was that after his MC World became realistic, the Wither's explosive attacks would inevitably blow open the underground rock layers.
At that time, the entire underground cave would turn into a large construction site.
It was fine for those like him and Ningguang, who possessed a Geo god's eye, as they could be immune to dust and particulate matter to a certain extent.
But for people like Lisa, one battle would probably turn her from Snow White into Cinderella.
"No matter, I will summon the Jade Screen later, and Miss Lisa can safely stay behind the screen."
Ningguang combined Jack's description of the Boss, simulated the battle several times in her mind, and roughly understood what he was worried about, so she proactively stepped forward to share his burden.
Lisa and Ningguang exchanged glances.
They seemed to be re-evaluating this sister who appeared difficult to communicate with.
"Then thank you, Ningguang… Hmm, should I call you elder sister or younger sister?"
"I am a few years older than you, so call me elder sister."
"Hehe, Elder Sister Ningguang~"
"Younger Sister Lisa~"
Hiss!
Listening to his two mature wives complimenting each other with veiled sarcasm, Jack felt a chill run down his spine to his neck.
If they really cared so much about who was the elder sister and who was the younger sister, why didn't they just call each other by name!
Jack silently arranged the altar, only complaining internally, and absolutely refused to get involved in the two sisters' earnestness.
Clatter~
As the Wither summoning ritual was down to its last skull,
the two adversaries finally turned their gaze.
Under their watchful eyes, Jack placed the final Wither Skeleton Skull.
Rumble!
A bolt of lightning struck down from the void.
The Soul Sand and Wither Skeleton Skulls, which had merely been an altar, instantly transformed into a three-headed skeletal monster.
However, the soul fires in the six eyes of the skeletal monster were dim, seemingly still waiting for the time to awaken.
Jack stepped back a few paces to make space, holding his Netherite Greatsword.
"The Wither is about to awaken. Lisa, be sure to stack shields on yourself and Ningguang. This guy deals a lot of damage."
Hum!
The ghost fire in the eye socket of the first Wither Skeleton Skull lit up.
A cold current emanated from all around.
Hum!
The second Wither Skeleton Skull followed closely.
Wails and howls echoed deep underground, as if Jack had summoned a heinous demon god.
Boom!
The eyes of the central Wither Skeleton Skull "opened," and a decaying wind swept out in all directions.
"Roar!"
The Wither roared, spitting out a black breath attack at the player who dared to summon it.
"Omniscient!"
Jack uttered a faint incantation, and golden-yellow light instantly enveloped the entire underground space.
Rumble!
The breath attack exploded.
Let alone harming anyone, it only shattered some debris from the walls.
"You couldn't completely block the vibration, so it seems you still have some strength."
Jack said words that made the Wither doubt its existence, then swung the Netherite Greatsword in his hand.
Hiss!
A dark sword glow flashed across.
The soul fire in the Wither's left head instantly extinguished.
!!
The monster, with "Wither (☆☆☆ Demigod)" inscribed on its head, had already acquired rudimentary intelligence.
But it couldn't understand how this small thing could inflict such great damage on it, nor could it comprehend being confined in a small space, unable to fly freely.
Swish swish!
Thump thump thump!
Jack acted as a relentless sword-swinging machine.
The Wither also began to unleash its full power in a barrage of attacks without holding back.
Crack~
Finally.
Under the Wither's unremitting efforts, a slight crack appeared in Jack's shield.
Just as the Wither, with only one soul fire remaining, intended to press its advantage, another voice came, directly plunging it into the abyss of despair.
"Stone Shield."
Buzz~
The familiar light permeated again, and the soft soil once again transformed into golden, unattainable solidity for the Wither.
It was like a simp relentlessly pursuing a goddess, to no avail.
It looked up, staring at the patch of soil it had been attacking, hoping to destroy it in its last moments of life, thereby defending its final dignity as a Boss.
Swish!
Jack severed the Wither's three heads with one sword strike.
The Wither's health bar instantly emptied, and its falling heads vanished into black smoke.
A pile of glittering loot was left on the spot.
"Is that… it?"
Lisa, who had been prepared for a tough fight, looked at Jack with a twitching mouth. For this level of difficulty, she didn't even need to dodge. Who was he looking down on?
Ningguang shook her head: "Not quite, Lisa, look at the block above Jack's head."
Lisa looked over.
The stone block there was already covered in cracks; with just a small tap, she could get a complete cobblestone.
"If I'm not mistaken, although Jack's shield can block this kind of attack, the Wither is, after all, a boss monster comparable to a demigod. The shield will also produce vibrations, and these vibrations resonate with the stone protected by the shield, leading to the cracking of the stone."
"Fighting one Wither might not be a problem, but if we continuously challenge Withers without repairing the battleground, I'm afraid it won't be long before a part of the walls here collapses. In this confined underground space, even if you and I are safe, it would still take some effort to escape."
Having finished explaining, Ningguang looked at Jack, showing an expression of admiration.
"As expected of the husband I, Ningguang, chose. Truly far-sighted."
"Huh?"
Jack showed a confused expression, and his hand, picking up the enchanted book, couldn't help but tremble twice.
What was she saying? He didn't understand a single word.
But not wanting to appear amateurish in front of Ningguang, Jack mused, "You're right, Ningguang, it's exactly as you think!"
