A green light grazed past Bai An's face, and a huge explosion sounded from behind.
"You're really making me more and more satisfied."
Kazami Yuuka patted the dust off her clothes, her tone revealing pleasure.
Aside from some minor damage to her clothes, Kazami Yuuka was completely unharmed.
This made Bai An's evaluation of Kazami Yuuka increase by several degrees.
He thought that at over level 80,
Even if he couldn't defeat Kazami, he could at least exchange a few blows.
But now it seemed she hadn't even been serious, and he was already in such a sorry state; the gap was simply too large.
It wasn't just the level difference, but more so the difference in combat skills and experience.
"Continue!"
Although the difference was vast, Bai An wasn't discouraged.
Instead of complaining,
It was better to make good use of this battle to maximize the improvement of his strength.
"Come on."
Kazami Yuuka responded.
Bai An gripped his sword hilt, his toes lightly touching the ground, his speed suddenly increasing. In the blink of an eye, he had arrived before Kazami Yuuka.
He turned the sword body and delivered a horizontal slash.
Kazami Yuuka unhurriedly took out her parasol and blocked horizontally.
"Clang, clang."
The sound of metal colliding rang out.
Even though the object in her hand was just a parasol, and she was using only one hand, with just a single blow, his sword developed cracks.
"Don't get distracted during battle. You must focus completely on the opponent's movements."
Kazami Yuuka uttered.
The next moment,
Her free left hand clenched into a fist and struck fiercely towards Bai An's abdomen.
Bai An's pupils shrank abruptly. He instantly created cobblestone, and in just a moment, a stone wall appeared in front of him.
Bang!
The stone wall was like paper mache; it suddenly shattered in response to the impact.
Bai An reacted quickly, using that instant to pull back and create distance. At the same time, several blocks cut through the air and shot towards Kazami Yuuka.
However, these posed no threat to Kazami Yuuka at all.
With a casual wave of her hand, they all turned to dust.
Bai An also slowly found his rhythm.
He switched between various blocks and weapons, focusing on flexibility and variation.
But the difference in experience wasn't something that could be easily compensated for.
Kazami Yuuka's movements were few, and her attacks were monotonous, yet she perfectly dodged or blocked his attacks each time, appearing completely at ease.
After dozens of exchanges, Bai An was clearly at a disadvantage.
This was still with Kazami not being serious.
He couldn't win at all.
Bai An wasn't overly disappointed with this result, as it was within his expectations. He was just starting to develop, and many modules were still locked.
"From half a month to Great Youkai peak, that's quite good."
Kazami Yuuka praised, satisfaction rising in her scarlet eyes.
Although the difference in strength between Bai An and her was still vast,
Reaching this level in just a few days was already very rare.
From this, it could be seen that in not much time, he would be able to grow to her level.
Kazami Yuuka didn't continue attacking.
She glanced at Bai An, then opened her parasol and turned to leave, leaving behind a bewildered Bai An.
She's not fighting anymore?
So what now?
Unable to figure it out, Bai An didn't overthink it. He packed up some things and left to continue with his next plan.
His current advantage lay in the ability to quickly switch equipment and rapidly build blocks.
The main focus was flexibility.
The more equipment he had, the stronger he would naturally become.
Currently, equipment from many modules couldn't be crafted due to material limitations.
But a diamond set plus enchantments wasn't difficult.
Before crafting enchanted equipment, Bai An needed to collect enough diamonds.
Equipment made from iron and gold was insufficient in both hardness and attributes.
Compared to plains, forests and large mountains had more ore veins.
This forest was quite large. After searching several caves, Bai An found that the caves here were all very shallow.
He remembered that diamonds were only found deep underground.
After searching the surroundings for half an hour without success, he decided to dig straight down from where he was.
Five hours later, Bai An looked at the broken iron pickaxe with a somewhat lifeless expression.
This was the ninth pickaxe that had broken.
From five hours ago, he had been digging vertically downwards. In this time, he had dug not tens of thousands of meters, but at least seven or eight thousand meters. Yet, he still hadn't seen any caves or similar places. If he weren't a block person, he would have suffocated from lack of oxygen long ago.
Bai An crafted a few more pickaxes and continued digging down. Fortunately, this time the goddess of luck favored him. A few minutes later, the ground beneath his feet suddenly gave way, and he landed on the floor of an underground cave.
Because sunlight couldn't reach the underground, it was very dark, pitch black.
Bai An took out a torch and used its light to observe his surroundings.
It was very spacious here, with many intersections.
Bai An walked along the edge, searching for traces of diamonds.
It was very quiet around him, with only his faint breathing and the crackling sound of the torch burning.
Monsters would spawn in dark places.
Bai An paid attention to his surroundings.
Monster drops were still very useful.
For example, noob , dropped bones which could be used to make bonemeal to quickly grow plants.
While searching and observing, he dug up a lot of iron ore and gold ore along the way.
Finally, after turning through winding passages,
Bai An saw a glimmer of light. This was the light emitted by lava.
In places with lava, the probability of rare ores appearing was much higher.
As expected, the end was a thick pool of lava. On the rock wall nearby, he saw a patch of red ore, which was still sparkling.
Looking at the patch of red ore, Bai An felt a little excited. Although it wasn't diamonds, in a sense, it was more precious than diamonds.
As long as he had enough redstone, he could automate resource production.
After mining all the redstone here and filling a few buckets with lava,
Bai An returned to the previous intersection and explored along the other paths.
This underground cave was very large and rich in minerals. After some exploration, Bai An actually dug up quite a few diamonds, more than enough to make several sets of diamond armor.
Resources like gold and iron were countless.
After spending some more time filling his backpack, Bai An was eager to leave.
He planned to go back to the Flower Field area and try building a Hell portal.
The resources in this world were ultimately limited. He had to confirm whether portals could be used in this world.
There were too many branching paths here, finding the place where he started digging down was not ideal.
Bai An took out his pickaxe and broke the rocks above his head.
He then used the dropped blocks to stack under his feet.
This process wasn't long.
The increase in attributes and equipment made Bai An's digging speed very fast.
Soon, the blocks dropping from above changed from hard stone blocks to soft dirt blocks.
This meant he was very close to the surface.
Finally, after digging up dozens more blocks, faint rays of light began to show through.
Accompanied by the sounds of the market's hustle and bustle.
The dazzling sunlight made Bai An squint his eyes. After adjusting to the light, he looked around.
This was a market, with various shops on both sides. People were walking on the street, and vendors were hawking their goods.
Clearly, he had dug all the way from underground in the forest to the Human Village.
"Who are you, and what are you doing here?"
