Minecraft: Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?

Chapter 203 Jungle?

"There don't seem to be many players in the jungle..."

"I haven't heard of any strange things happening in the jungle. It seems like there are very few signs of damage."

Shi Qian's clone number three has arrived in the jungle area.

The distance between the jungle and the desert is relatively short, so we didn't spend too much time on the road.

He hadn't really gone deep into the jungle yet; he was still wandering around on the outskirts.

But there are almost no missing pieces of jungle wood here, or trees that have been cut down in large sections.

It seems that everything is as it was in the jungle, untouched by players.

This is strange.

Because no matter the situation or the terrain, it could be the player's spawn point.

But now, Shi Qian has already walked a long distance around the jungle.

There were no signs of damage, not even a workbench...

So unreasonable!

No matter what kind of player you are, even if you are thrifty, you might still leave your workbench behind on the road.

There's nothing here.

Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

Jungle creatures and monsters are spawning normally, underground mines are functioning normally, and resources are plentiful.

Shouldn't this be the survival area that many players would choose?

Shouldn't we see lots of player bases and such?

And no matter what...

Nobody's coming to see the pandas?

After landing the Phantom Wing on the treetop, Shi Qian even went for a walk around underground.

The mines here don't even have the long, narrow tunnels left over from coal mining.

Iron ore and other minerals are still exposed on the surface of the mine shafts...

Although some players may no longer value this aspect, there's no reason for them all to stay.

All evidence suggests that there seems to be no player surviving here.

Shi Qian asked Ran Xiao for information about Jungle from the forum, and the feedback he received was relatively normal.

The players are chopping down trees and mining.

However, most players who spawn here leave because of the large number of monsters that spawn under the dense, impenetrable trees.

That makes sense, but why don't they come back to grind monsters after they've upgraded their equipment a little?

And no matter how much you run, you still have to dig out trees, make basic tools, and collect and burn ores.

There's no reason why there shouldn't be any trace...

After returning to the treetop, Shi Qian circled around again but still couldn't find any traces of players having been there.

At this moment, Ranxiao gave Shiqian a coordinate.

It's like a desert or a dark forest, a place in a normal biome that is open and hollowed out.

Shi Qian glanced at the coordinates and decided to go take a look at the temple ruins first.

The only naturally occurring structure in the jungle is the jungle temple.

Anything related to God is indeed strange...

However, since some players have posted the coordinates on the forum, it proves that players must have been in the jungle. Why can't we see anyone?

Shi Qian's own radar couldn't detect any living organisms at all.

The trees in the jungle are relatively tall, so the Phantom Wing flies quite high for a better view.

Shi Qian could see all the animals and monsters on the ground with the naked eye, and every now and then a red parrot would fly around.

When he first went underground, the radar detected biological entities on the ground, meaning it wasn't some kind of phantom or fake model.

A great place to develop your character; you won't see any players who just want to join in the fun...

Could it be a ghost...?

Thinking of this, Shi Qian couldn't help but shudder.

Although that kind of thing doesn't exist in Minecraft, it has appeared in mods from my original world.

Maybe the players were really scared away by ghosts...

The reasoning is somewhat far-fetched, and there's no content about ghosts on the forum, so it might not be accurate. Let's not speculate.

Shi Qian cleared away the random thoughts that were swirling in his mind.

Before long, he arrived at the coordinates that Ran Xiao had given him.

But once they arrived, they were stunned.

"Where is my huge jungle temple pit?"

Shi Qian sat on the back of the phantom wing, somewhat unable to believe his eyes.

He even circled in the air for a long time, but didn't see any open space at all.

The original location of those coordinates was a pit that was about seven blocks deep, thirteen blocks long, and ten blocks wide.

However, now the area is occupied by some relatively low-lying jungle trees.

Aside from those ridiculously tall jungle trees, the wood here is of a normal height and is no different from wood in other places.

Shi Qian landed on the ground and burrowed down.

He wanted to see if someone had deliberately filled in the hole...

As expected, Shi Qian was proven wrong.

The terrain here is no different from other areas.

"Are the coordinates correct? This is a normal jungle, there's no temple pit here."

Shi Qian sent Ran Xiao a message.

Ranxiao replied instantly.

"Boss, I've checked it several times, this is the right coordinate. Let me see if I can import the image from the forum."

After saying that, Ranxiao logged off.

Shi Qian squatted on the tree, scratching his head, unable to understand.

If the coordinates given by Ranxiao are correct, then what lies before me?

He knows his current coordinates are correct, and he is certain that he has not entered any interdimensional world.

I am in the main world, in the jungle north of the starting point.

Could this be the work of a player?

But that seems unlikely...

They should be grateful they didn't dig it up; how could they possibly fill in such a huge pit and then plant a bunch of trees afterward?

But if it's not a player, then who is it?

Trees don't appear out of thin air.

Wait, a tree?

Shi Qian seemed to have thought of something crucial, blinked, and suddenly stood up.

I found a spot not too close to the ground and knocked off a piece of jungle wood.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After waiting for more than a minute, the jungle trees in front of me did not change.

Haha~ You scared yourself~

Shi Qian looked down at Ran Xiaofa's picture.

It's a screenshot. The coordinates in the upper left corner show that it's indeed in your vicinity, in a place roughly the same size as you.

The crater is at the center of the view; the image is fine.

The post was published a long time ago, not long after the server opened, so the timeline is reasonable.

So, why did it turn out this way?

Shi Qian glanced again at the still-pulsating jungle tree he had just dug up.

If it's not a problem with the tree, could it be the ground?

He controlled the Phantom Wings to descend, but just as he was about to hit the ground, Shi Qian looked up as if he sensed something.

"What kind of strange things are these..."

The object that fell from the trees slid past Shi Qian's eyes.

And that gap has disappeared...

"Is this still the Minecraft I used to play?"

Instead of flying back to continue digging up the same piece of jungle wood, Shi Qian turned his attention to the ground.

The grass blocks were quickly destroyed, turning into loose dirt that kept swaying.

This time, Shi Qian kept a close eye on this gap, almost staring so hard he could wear a hole through it.

After waiting for a much longer time than it would have on the tree, the soil remained unchanged.

Seeing this, Shi Qian scratched his head, somewhat confused.

The newly topped trees and his perception of the forest were vastly different.
