Chapter 8

THE SECOND WAVE

Miles activated his Dao of Pow, confusing the snowmen that began to surround him and his friends. As the snowmen milled around, accidentally shooting and stabbing each other from the debuff, Miles conferred with Jack the Demolitionist.

“Can you think of any way we can get rid of these guys quickly and efficiently without any more casualties?” he asked.

“I’m glad you asked!” Jack replied. “You’ll dig a trench on either side of where we’re standing, let the snowmen wander in, then blast them with TNT.”

“Won’t that destroy the area around us?” Isabella asked, showing concerned for the land.

“It will,” John admitted. “But it will save our ammunition and our strength so we can live to fight the Corruption together.”

“The demolitionist is right,” Autumn reassured the dryad. “It’s a good plan.”

Miles exchanged most of his shrinking supply of coins for two stacks of TNT, then set about digging a trench to the east and west of his companions. “This should hold them off,” he said, wiping the sweat from his brow. “We’ll need to fire at them. Keep your ranged weapons ready. They can still shoot at us before they fall into the trap.”

Isabella put up her protective wall of vines as Autumn held up her wrench, Jack and John held up their weapons, and Cedric held up his Flamelash from his perch in the tree house.

“Everybody ready?” Miles called out as the snowmen bounced closer.

“Yes!” they all shouted, shouldering their weapons. Miles held the TNT ready as he watched the snowmen approach. The snowmen began to fall, one by one, into the pits he had dug. He peered into the west trench, careful to avoid the bullets and snowballs that were coming from the trapped yet persistent enemies.

“Is it time yet?” he asked. Jack nodded and motioned for everyone to plug their ears. Miles dropped half of the TNT into the west trench, diving away from the explosion toward the other trench where he dropped the rest of it.

It was practically raining snowballs as the army blew apart, defeated. Miles looked around at his stunned companions, who hadn’t even needed to fire a shot.

“That. Was. Fabulous!” Isabella said, clearly amazed at the attack. “It was fast, efficient, and brilliant!” She looked down at the fiery holes where the snowmen had been. “Hey Miles, would you mind filling in the holes before we go off exploring again?”

“No problem,” Miles told the dryad as he tossed dirt blocks into the pits. He stopped halfway through refilling the east trench. A side wall had opened to reveal a large cave. “Anyone mind if I pop in to take a look around before we go?”

Isabella checked her map. “The Corruption is spreading slowly now. It can wait if you are quick about your business.”

“Excellent,” Miles said, hopping down into the pit and heading toward the cave. “I’ll only be a few moments. I need some coin and these snowmen aren’t good for any drops aside from snowballs.”

Miles made his way into the tunnel.
