16 Wither Skeletons and Withering Effect

"Lead the way. I need to go there!" Said George with a gleaming eyes.

"Uhh.. Okay.." They leaded George and Li Weixiang to the nether fortress. It was a few hundred meters from here.

When they saw the nether fortress, they couldn't help but to say. "What a grand castle! There must be a lot of treasures inside!"

"Well.. there's some, but they aren't worth much. What i want from this place is a blaze monster spawner. I need to kill a lot of blazes to make my potions!" Said George. He also added a new waypoint here. He called it "Nether Fortress 1".

"Beware of wither skeletons! If you get hurt by them, i don't know what's gonna happen."

Because of the mini map skill, George founds some chest with ease. The so called treasures inside is really bad. Inside of the majority of the chest are rotten fleshes, wheat, gold bars and a little bit of diamonds.

The once excited people was disappointed by that. "Sigh.. At least, the diamonds are expensive."

"Young Master Ma, i found some kind of plants growing near the stairs." Said one of the guards.

"Oh? It's only nether warts. I guess i'll grab some more." George plucked the nether warts from the soul sand and put them inside of his golden bag of holding.

"Let's go upstairs! There's a wither skeleton up there. Anyone wants to try fighting it?"

One of them came up and fought the wither skeleton with his sword skill. George reminded him to be careful "Be careful! If they hit you, they could put some curse of withering sh*t on you."

Clang! Clang!

The man frowned his brows. "I wonder if this skeleton is a former warrior? Their sword technique isn't too bad!" he thought.

He lost in thought for a moment and get scratched a bit by the skeleton. He imidieatly focused on the fight.

"Take this! Unbeatable slash!" The man used his flashy technique to subdue the skeleton, but it was dodged.

That was... really lame. And WTF do you mean by unbeatable? You just missed, y'know!

"Hmm? You actually dodged that! Fine, let me show you my dual swords technique that has been passed down from my family."

He then used two swords. One sword used to block the wither skeleton's attack, while the other one, he thrusted it to the skeleton's neck.

"Uhh.. that's... your family technique?" thought George.

As the skull of that wither skeleton rolled on the ground, they became relaxed. But, they didn't expect that their body continued to attack the guard. "What? It still can move? How can this be.."

George imidieatly ordered the rest of the guards to disassemble the skeleton bones. After they disassembled the bones, they can't move anymore. "Sigh.. i didn't know that it was hard to kill those wither skelly.. It was very easy when i played minecraft. Well.. let's take the skull for now." George thought. He could make some amazing things with that skull.

"What would happen if i created a wither near my enemy's base." George felt thrilled when he thought of that. "And after i made those wither, i'll run ASAP. They will probably scared sh*tless if suddenly there's a giant three headed skeleton appeared nearby and tried to destroy their base. Hahaha!"

After running around this nether fortress, he unfortunately didn't found any blaze spawners. But, he got a few more nether skeleton's skull. It wasn't a very successful trip.

As they searched for another nether fortress, that same guard that battled with the wither skeleton suddenly swaying around while he walked.

Wang Tian immediately called him. "Qiao Wuying! What's happening with your body?" Everyone suddenly looked at them.

Wang Tian noticed a small scratch on Qiao Wuying's hand. There's also some blackish color near the wound. "This.. is this wound from the earlier battle? Why are you not listening to Young Master Ma?"

Qiao Wuying only smiled bitterly when he heard that. "I'm sorry.. i lost in thought earlier on the battle and got scratched a little. I thought that it was fine, but.."

"Stop talking! Young Master Ma, do you have the antidote? This might be a poison."

Hmm? Wither effect isn't a poison. Is it like the name? if you got this on your body, maybe your cells will get withered or something like that? But, for sure it was some kind of potion effect, so.. Hey A.I... Is there any potion effect removal?

「Ding! There is. The price is 1000 Credits.」

"What? So expensive..." And then George looked at Qiao Wuying that's wriggling in pain. He sighed and bought one. "Here! Take this. I hope that this potion works."

Qiao Wuying immediately said "Thank you, Young Master Ma!" And drink the potion.

"You don't need to thank me. If it doesn't work, then where will my face go?" George laughed awkwardly.

"No.. even if it doesn't work. I still need to give my gratitude. If i didn't get distracted earlier, this wouldn't have happened to me. So it's entirely my fault."

The blackish tint near his wound gradually faded and dissapear after 10 minutes. Qiao Wuying sighed when he saw his hand becoming normal.

"Once again, Thank you for the elixir, Young Master Ma!"

"Haha.. It's okay! And it's not an elixir. It's called potion. If you need any potion in the future, just come to my shop." Smiled George. "But just remember! When battling, don't get distracted easily! It's fortunate that i have some potion effect removal. If not, you probably will die today."

Qiao Wuying only laughed awkwardly when he heard that. Li Weixiang also glared at him. "Why does this one is so clumsy?" He thought.

When Qiao Wuying realized that his boss glared at him, he immediately shuddered and thought. "I need to be more careful in the future! If not... My pay is in danger!"
