Returning to the Overworld, the six of them looked at the sun hanging in the sky, enjoying the comfortable feeling of the warm sunlight on their bodies.
Mitsuri Kanroji stretched. "Mmm~, I suddenly feel so relaxed."
"Life is indeed much easier without having to worry about demon attacks like before," Shinobu Kocho also couldn't help but sigh.
"Everyone, go and rest for a while. Today's mission has been successfully completed," Lin Tian said. Seeing the comfortable smiles on their faces, he planned to let them rest for a day.
As for fighting the Wither, he could do that himself. Besides, he didn't actually have to fight it himself.
Hearing Lin Tian's words, the girls didn't move. They weren't stupid; they naturally knew what he was preparing to do. He must be planning to do something on his own, otherwise why go to such great lengths to get Wither Skeleton Skulls?
"We can help too," Shinobu Kocho was the first to speak. She wanted to be the one standing by Lin Tian's side, not someone protected by him.
"That's right, I'm very strong!" Mitsuri Kanroji flexed her arm, as if to show Lin Tian that she was also very powerful.
"I want to help you," Nezuko didn't say much, but her eyes were very determined.
"Although I'm not strong, I can still contribute in a small way," Kanao, who rarely expressed her opinion, also spoke up.
"Don't carry everything by yourself, hey!" Aoi Kanzaki was even more direct.
Seeing the five of them corner him with their words, Lin Tian felt very helpless.
"What are you all thinking? When did I ever say I was going to fight the Wither myself?"
"See that iron farm over there? I plan to use the Iron Bros to deal with the Wither."
As he spoke, Lin Tian gestured for the five girls to look at the iron farm, which was currently in operation.
Every so often, a giant iron golem would pass through the lava and fall to the ground. Then, its upper body would be covered in lava and it would gradually turn into white smoke.
Seeing that Lin Tian planned to use those iron golems to fight the Wither, the girls thought about it for a moment and felt that it was indeed feasible!
Although one iron golem might not be of much use, what if there were dozens or even hundreds? He had a free supply of iron now, after all!
But even though they felt this method was feasible, the five still shook their heads. They were still worried about Lin Tian's safety.
Seeing the five still disagree, Lin Tian had no choice but to say, "I really don't know what to do with you all. I've slayed a dragon. How could I be killed by a Wither?"
Hearing that Lin Tian had slayed a dragon, the five's eyes lit up again.
"Really? There are creatures like dragons in this world?"
"Brother Lin Tian is that amazing? He's even killed a dragon!"
"Then it feels like our worries really were a bit unnecessary!"
"But I'm still not at ease! What if dragons aren't the strongest in this world?"
"That seems to make sense too!"
.....
Seeing the five of them steer the topic back to not letting him go alone, Lin Tian had no choice but to reveal his secret that he could revive infinitely.
It wasn't really a secret. As soon as he died once, everyone would know. But he didn't want to experience the feeling of death.
And hearing that Lin Tian could be resurrected after death, all five of them showed expressions of amazement, including Shinobu.
Although she knew this world was unreasonable, she didn't know Lin Tian could do that!
So, under Lin Tian's repeated assurances, the five finally agreed to his idea of fighting the Wither, but they had to come along too!
This made Lin Tian feel helpless. For the first time, he had the feeling that women were a lot of trouble.
If he had been alone before, he probably would have just built the Wither underground on the spot and then just cheered on the Iron Bros from behind.
But now, he had to spend half a day coaxing and persuading the girls.
Of course, that feeling came and went quickly. It was still a wonderful thing to have someone care about you.
Therefore, Lin Tian decided to wait until everyone was well-rested before finding a suitable location to gang up on the Wither.
Lin Tian spent the entire afternoon doing nothing.
After all, with his physique, it wouldn't be a problem even if he never slept for the rest of his life.
The people in the group were also idle. After all, no plot was happening right now. The only one you could say had a plot was Hellish Blizzard's world with its daily monsters, but that world had the bald-headed great demon king, so there was nothing to worry about.
The only thing worth looking forward to was Lumine's world. Lumine was ultimately taken by Zhongli to be his coolie. The world's correctional force was really powerful!
But when it came time to fight Osial, Lumine said she could start a live stream, or others could go to her world to play.
Now, with the help of points, Lumine's strength was rapidly recovering, so she wasn't afraid of that 'little fish' Osial at all. And even if she couldn't beat him, she could just call for backup!
Time finally came to the afternoon.
The five had also recovered their spirits and followed Lin Tian towards an underground cave.
"Why are we going underground? Can't we fight it on the surface?" Nezuko asked Lin Tian with confusion.
"Because the Wither can fly. If we're on the surface, it will be hard to attack it, and we'll be in an extremely passive situation. But underground, although the Wither will destroy the surrounding rocks, it can also serve to contain it."
"And the ground is the main battlefield for the iron golems. If the Wither flies up, the iron golems won't be of much use."
Lin Tian educated the five on information about the Wither, telling them how to fight it and some of its characteristics.
Before long, Lin Tian arrived in front of a stone wall. He directed the girls to dig out a large enough space, but not too large, to prevent the iron golems from having difficulty attacking the Wither.
After it was dug out, Lin Tian replaced the surrounding walls with obsidian, placed in an alternating pattern. After all, he didn't have much obsidian, and it wasn't necessary to cover the entire wall.
After the walls were modified, Lin Tian had the five move further away. He then placed T-shaped iron blocks all around, then made a T-shape in the center with soul sand. He placed two Wither Skeleton Skulls on the two protruding soul sand blocks on the left and right, then summoned the iron golems first before placing the last Wither Skeleton Skull.
"Crack~"
A shattering sound was heard. A being with a humanoid rib cage for a lower body appeared. Its dark brown, rotten flesh was peeling off in layers like soaked tree bark, revealing the grayish-blue ribs underneath. A viscous, fluorescent purple-black liquid was wrapped around the gaps between the ribs.
It had three heads on top. The middle head was the largest, with the least amount of decay. Its eye sockets were two bottomless black holes, with eerie purple flames dancing within. The bridge of its nose had long since rotted away, leaving only two crooked nostrils from which dark red mucus constantly seeped. Its mouth was stretched into a grin that far exceeded human physiological limits, revealing two rows of yellow-black fangs.
The heads on the sides were smaller and more severely decayed. One of them had a detached lower jaw, with only half a face hanging with tattered rotten flesh, its teeth exposed and constantly shaking with the movement of the main body.
The other's skull was missing the top, revealing the blurred, already liquefied brain tissue inside, which was also wrapped in the purple-black energy, like thick ink floating in the cranial cavity.
The Wither! It had been born!
