Zombie slayer: A Minecraft story

Chapter 7

Spider dance

We spent the whole day going through the swamp forest, It wasn't easy for the both of us, though.

For starters, slimes keep spawning all over the swamp, so we are either having to avoid them or kill an army of medium-sized slimes just to cross the swamp forest.

There were also Bogged and skeleton archers hiding in the shade of trees, and that was causing a lot of time being taken away from travelling across the swamp biome while we were trying to escape the large and medium slimes.

Luckily, because my brother was undead, he was able to throw out most of the archers into the sunlight, causing most of them to burn to death.

There was a close call when Tonji had thrown one of the Bogged's skeleton friends to die from the sunlight. The bogged archer then proceeds to push Tonji and charge up his bow shot. But because of the Bogged's slow shot charging, I grabbed one small slime that was pathetically attacking me with no prevail and threw it at the head of the Bogged.

This caused it to get so distracted that it managed to shoot against a witch, which was going to ambush me, causing the witch to angrily walk over to the archer that just killed my distraction, giving both of us a chance to escape while the Bogged archer tried and failed to diplomatically talk to the witch via clicks and clanks of his bones.

It was sunset when we both finally got out of the swamp and into a meadow biome. There was a beehive full of honey and a few bees nearby, so I gave one of my axes and pickaxes to my brother and said to get stone and wood for a couple of campfires and plenty of torches.

For a minute, my brother did some quick stone, coal, iron mining, and tree cutting while I crafted a wooden shovel and effectively got sand. We grouped up to craft a crafting table, a few furnaces to make charcoal, and glass. We were then able to craft torches, glass bottles, campfires, and sheers.

We used one of the campfires on the beehive with carpet on top and sheered of the honey off the beehive without angering the bees, giving us three honeycomb, which in turn gives us three bottles of honey.

As a huge area of light illuminated the night sky, I was able to sheer off three sheep plenty for a bed. When I tried to sleep, although my brother was not hostile, I couldn't get to sleep since there is technically a monster nearby.

I said to my undead brother, "Do you mind? I'm trying to sleep!"

My brother moved 9 blocks away from me.
He groaned sadly. "I'll keep watch for monsters."

"Thanks, brother."

 
With that, I went to sleep while my brother kept watch for other monsters other than himself...







Meanwhile...

"Oh man." Moaned Zennor. "I really do hate this place."

Zennor has just gotten halfway through the swamp biome, and it was now dark...

... Too dark for both his liking and safety...

...As swarms of zombies, creepers, endermen, spiders, slimes, skeleton, and bogged archers appear out of the darkness to hunt their prey.

Zennor!

Zennor ran as fast as he could while dodging arrows, avoiding staring at endermen, and evading the wrath of the hostile mobs coming from all directions.

As the pursuit continued through the night, more and more hostile mobs continued to hinder his escape. And the more it drained from his food supply, health, and hunger bars.

He knew that he needed to find a place to stay until morning, and so he went for the roof of a nearby witch's hut.

Using the dirt he removed to navigate through the swamp, he got to the roof with no trouble and created a lip to prevent spiders from climbing up to him.

He chopped a hole off the roof and saw the witch living there, so he took care of the witch via his bow and arrows, but after the last bow shot that killed the witch, spotted a large area of torches from a nearby meadow.

He spotted Nezo and her zombified brother getting taken away from the large area of torches by shadows of creatures with eight legs into a cave that opened itself to reveal what seems to be a secret mineshaft within the small hill where the stone was.

"Oh no!I got to save her!" Zennor said in an increasingly panicking voice as he speed bridge building his way to the meadow where the secret mineshaft was...






I was on the floor feeling sick from who knew what that was. My zombified brother was also on the floor struggling to get up.

I looked around. There were normal and cave spiders all around us in what seemed to be a not so fancy throne room inside a mineshaft.

I looked up to see a wooden throne with a person dressed in an all black warrior outfit with a black crown. She had the same crimson eyes as the spiders.

She was smiling maliciously with a slight hiss as she got down to where we were before looking at us.

She laughed a little bit before she spoke in a hissed tone, "So you're the rumoured zombie slayer to rise up, huh?"

"Zombie slayer?"

"Oh, so you haven't come across Herobrine yet? Well, he can sensed that in the future that you will become the zombie slayer, hence why we, the eli- [Painful hiss]!"

She looked she was in pain with her headaches or something as her hands touching her forehead for a few moments before she was back to her confident, malicious self.

"...That's why we, the elite members of Herobrine's chosen, are told to do whatever it is we can to prevent a fate so terribly bad that you regret everything."

"What kind of fate?!" I asked in a serious tone.

"Oh I don't know what Herobrine knows since he is very vague teacher and leader, but what he knows is the threats that are coming to distroy the misunderstood mobs of the past thanks your kin, the ancient builders!! Soon, you will be destroyed or join the misunderstood mobs."

I said with fury, "I will never join YOU!"

The spider queen looked at me like I just spat at her and hissed at me angrily.

"Time... to die..." She got out her poison-tipped diamond sword and lifted her sword up.

She stopped for a moment before she had a painful headache and hiss, causing her to drop her sword and kneel down with her hands over her head.

The spiders turned their attention to Tonji, who just killed another two normal spiders, causing the spider queen to scream in pain.

This had popped out a chain mail helmet covered in purple stuff, which gave me the energy to stand up and fight alongside my brother.

As each spider leaps, one swing to our swords that we shared killed it. It gave the spider queen such a bad headache so painful that she threw a lot of that purple stuff, now in splash potions, and paralysed us before becoming two blocky lumps on the floor.

The spider queen said. "You son of a glitch!" As she got up with one hand on her head and the other tightly gripped on the poisoned-tipped sword. "I HAD TO TAKE EXTRA CLASSES TO IGNORE MY DISABILITY!"

She hit my face with the hilt of her sword.

"I TRAINED MYSELF BY KILLING ONE SPIDER EVERY 8 SECONDS IN A QUIZ UNTIL I LOST SANITY!!!"

She used the iron sword I used and stabbed my left thigh. I gasped in pain.

"I thought that killing players that dared defly or threatened me would help me. BUT KILL A RESISTING PLAYER THAT THREATENED HEROBRINE'S LEGACY?"

she bit my chest as my hand struggled to get to the sword where it was, and I grunted in pain.

She stopped biting before she calmly said, "Goodbye, zombie slayer..."

She held her poison-tipped diamond sword up, ready to finish me off.

I got the iron sword she used to stab my thigh and then...

Boom!

A TNT explosion killed several spiders and caused the spider queen to drop her poison-tipped diamond sword, and the handle of the sword went to my hand.

She looked at me.

I stabbed her in the heart.

She then went pale as the dark green bubbles appeared and damaged her with the poison, causing her to fall down on the floor.

She couldn't get up. The spiders went to the one person I didn't want, but I needed...

...Zennor!

With the spiders disappeared one by one, the effects of the spider queen's paralysis potion weared off with her shaking in pain.

My brother groaned to her, "If my sister becomes a zombie slayer, then so be it, because Nezo will soon find a way to save the ancient builders for generations to come in reuniting the undead back to life!"

With that, my brother spat at the spider queen, and together, the three of us leave the base, leaving the spider queen unable to move physically other than her uncontrollable shaking...
