4 Let’s go to see Eliot the blacksmith and trade wheat for supplies said Steve Steve and Kyra walked toward the local village and when they got to Eliot’s blacksmith shop Steve opened the door Congratulations Steve said Eliot I heard you were chosen for the building competition Everyone in the village is talking about it Thanks replied Steve And Kyra and my other friends are going to join me She’s going to help build the boats that will get us to Mushroom Island That’s an important job Eliot told Kyra You’re a good friend Kyra Steve and Kyra traded with Eliot and then made their way back to Steve’s house Are you nervous Kyra asked as the two walked through the fields toward Steve’s wheat farm I’ve never been to Mushroom Island and you know that I’m not the best when it comes to traveling I like to stick close to home But I’m excited to build a house for the competition I have lots of great ideas I’ve never been to Mushroom Island either but there aren’t any hostile mobs there so it seems like a really safe place said Kyra I think they chose a place without hostile mobs so the contestants could just focus on building the best house without worrying about getting attacked said Steve Oh no Kyra called out Look Kyra pointed to a witch hut in front of them The Endermen Invasion
The Invitation 5 I wonder what the judges would think of her hut Steve joked as they walked past her hut and hoped she wouldn’t emerge Shhh Kyra hissed at Steve as they made their way toward the wheat farm I don’t think she heard us But they weren’t safe Within seconds a witch ran from the hut toward Steve and Kyra The witch drank a potion as her evil eyes focused on her two victims Run Steve yelled at Kyra but they weren’t fast enough The witch was right behind them Steve took out his diamond sword and leapt toward the witch who held up a potion As they battled the witch splashed Steve with her potion Oh no Kyra called out Ugh Steve said weakly Kyra rushed to Steve and gave him milk to help him get his strength back The witch sprang toward Kyra who struck the witch and defeated her Now you’ll have the strength to win the competi tion said Kyra as she gave Steve more milk I wish it were that simple Steve told her But we need to get back it’s getting dark and hostile mobs will be on the prowl Kyra and Steve sprinted but they still had a while before they were back at the farm and it was already dusk Boom There was a blast in the distance What was that asked Kyra
