Take Two

By ignoring the green wisp that they avoided earlier, they immediately jumped into the portal. The wisp released some lighting from time to time, but with the help of lighting warding charms, all of them safely go back to their own world.

All of them panted when they come back from the nether.

Not even one hour inside and we already came back empty handed.. Welp! I realized that i completely forgotten to use the angel ring and that minimap skill!

Seeing that all of them panting, George only sighed. "Let's go back in one hour!"

Wang Tian is confused by that. "Why one hour? Can we just go back in?"

Huh?! Did you just see that we are being ganged up by those zombie pigmens?

George rolled his eyes "Well.. if you wanted to go back right now, be my guest! Those zombie pigmen isn't really an aggressive monster. If you didn't hit them, they won't attack you either. So if you saw those sword wielding man with a pig head, don't attack them! If we wait for a while, they'll not attack us when we come back in."

Thinking that some explanations about the creatures inside the Nether is essential, George decided to explaining those creatures to them briefly, to ensure that the accident like that would never happen again.

With the general knowledge about Nether creatures, they decided to come back to the nether. For the green wisp that's camping near the portal, George attacked it with the help of the angel ring and a lightning warding charm from Mo Jianhong.

The wisp's combat prowess is only lightning, so he killed it easily with just using the knife that he got from buying the survival kit. From that point, George was considering to buy some combat related skills from the shop. How could he survive if he don't have any good skills?

When the green wisp killed, It dropped some items that looked like a fire with a weird color. "Uhh.. is this thing is their soul?" He thought.

「Ding! It's an ethereal essence. When wisps dies, they drops ethereal essences that will contain 2 Auram and 2 of the wisp's aspect. In this case, they dropped 2 Auram ethereal essence and 2 Terra ethereal essence.」

What the hell is that thingamabobs?

「Ding! If host wanted to understand that, just buy Thaumonomicon.」

"Sh*t! Maybe later if i'm bored.." Thought George while he stored the ethereal essences inside of his golden bag of holding.

When Li Weixiang saw George killing the green ball, he asked "Is that what you call wisp?"

George nodded and told them about wisp while reading the record that he bought. He only explained some of the mobs briefly, so when he saw Li Weixiang taking interest with the wisp, he decided to explain it completely. "Wisps appear as a floating balls of energy in the air, their colors varied by their aspects. Their only attack is a narrow beam of electricity, not very accurate and with low damage, but they can use it repeatedly while floating above you. They are somewhat evasive, and even with a bow hitting them can be difficult. However, they are not very persistent. If you just runs away or takes shelter, the wisp is unlikely to follow, and may just wander away."

"Uhh.. but earlier you said that it shoots lighting to your *ss and hit like a truck?" One of the guard asked.

Realizing that he told some contradictory explanatory, he was embarrassed. "Uhh.. Did i say that?"

All of their lips twitched when they heard that. They don't even know what a truck is. So, they assumed that it was a very high leveled magical artifact.

George coughed awkwardly. "Ahem! Okay.. let's continue our journey." This time, he didn't forget to put a waypoint near the portal.

With the help of mini map skill, he could choose the safest route to find the nearest nether fortress. What he needed from going to the nether is some nether warts and blaze rods. He always thought that Nether warts can only be found at the nether fortress, but he actually found some of them growing like a weed. Not only that, they founded a lot of strange plants in there. An egg like plants that's poisonous, a black colored apple, some reeds that grows near lava, an ink-like fruit that grows on a bush, a flower that only blooms on lava, like how lotus on water.

But one thing for sure, in the Nether there's so many kinds of mushrooms growing. Everywhere they went, they saw mushrooms. They are considered a puzzle to all of them. "Why do mushrooms grows on such hot place? This place is also not humid. So, how?"

The more they went the more strange the plants are. George grabbed some of the nether warts and scooped some of the soul sand, so he can plant them inside of his store.

When Li Weixiang saw George scooping the soul sand, he asked about that. Li Weixiang is pretty excited inside the Nether. He asked everything he saw like a child. George only sighed when he was with him.

"Sigh.. It's called soul sand. Uhh.. Look a little closer!"

Li Weixiang gasped when he saw that. "Are those a screaming faces? Why is that thing is being etched into its surface?"

George simply replied "Well, i actually don't know about that either. Maybe that's why it's called a soul sand."

...

Meanwhile, Mo Jianhong saw a glimpse of a giant flying jellyfish. It made an annoying crying sounds from the distance. He was intrigued by that and decided to go tho the source of that sound.

When George saw Mo Jianhong and some of Li Weixiang's guards run away to a distance, in his minimap, he saw a ghast roaming around the lava pool.

Well.. a ghast? Sigh.. It's okay, they're very weak, moreover their attack could be dodged easily.

George then screamed to Mo Jianhong and the other. "Could you guys get me the tears of that flying jellyfish? They're good for making a regeneration elixirs!"

"What? even monster's tears could be made into an elixir?" Thought Li Weixiang. When the ghast came nearby, Li Weixiang couldn't help but ask something. "I've been wondering for a while.. Why is the monsters and the land's shape is.. like that? Why are they shaped like a block?"

George simply replied "Well, duh.. That's why this place is called the netherwold of blocks!"

"Ahaha.. This place is really interesting!"

I know right? I thought that the nether is a scary place with a lot of dangerous mobs, but it seems that i could travel without being attacked with just using an angel ring. Well.. of course there's some flying mobs, but i could handle it by using the minimap to get the safest route.

"Well.. if you like it, i could make a portal in your house!"

"Really? I'd be glad if you do that! If i'm bored and want to hunt something, i could go here for fun and train my body here."

Mo Jianhong suddenly came back and give a bottle with ghast tears. "Here's the jellyfish's tears, Young Master Ma! And we'd like to report that there's a castle-like building not too far away from here."
