sword.
Adam was running low on potions. He splashed them with a potion of weakness, but he didnât have enough potion to make an impact on the griefers. They were still able to battle with full energy.
Kyra tried to get out her bow and arrow but she wasnât fast enough.
âOuch!â she cried as two rainbow griefers struck her with swords.
Max came up from behind the rainbow griefers that attacked Kyra and clobbered them with his diamond sword.
Dusk was setting, and a creeper silently passed by the desert temple. It was too late to move when they heard it tick and ignite.
Ka-Boom!
Two rainbow griefers were destroyed.
âOh no!â Kyra pointed to the griefers who had been destroyed. âAlex and Will were fighting them when the creeper exploded.â
The creeper also destroyed Alex and Will. The group was upset, but they had to fight the remaining two griefers.
Steve swung his diamond sword at the rainbow griefer. Thomas shot an arrow. Adam threw potion at another griefer. Henry, Max, and Lucy also struck the griefers with their swords. The evil griefers were outnumbered and lost the battle.
âI canât believe that creeper destroyed Alex and Will.â Kyra was really upset.
Steve wanted to tell her that it was okay, theyâd respawn at the wheat farm, but then he realized that wasnât the last place they slept.
âThey will respawn in Adamâs house. I hope they can find their way from there,â Steve told her.
âShould we head over to my place near the mountain?â asked Adam. âWe can meet them there.â
âShould we even trust Alex? She did confess to working with the griefers,â Kyra told them.
Before anyone could talk, Alex and Will appeared in front of them.
âWe wanted to help you win this battle,â said Alex.
âHow did you get here?â asked Steve.
âWe teleported,â Alex told them.
Alex took out her diamond sword and said, âWe have some rainbow griefers to destroy. I know the griefer who is behind all of this and we have to find him.â

TREASURES AND TROUBLES
A lex sprinted toward a wooden house in the middle of the desert. âThis is where the head rainbow griefer lives.â
The griefers could be seen through the window of the wooden house.
âShh!â Steve said as he looked in the window.
âI can throw a potion on them,â suggested Adam.
âWe need a plan,â Steve told Alex. âWe canât just sprint in and destroy them without a strategy.â
âOkay.â Adam started to propose a plan, but was cut short when a griefer shot an arrow at the group.
Adam told his friends to take off their armor.
âSeriously? Now?â Lucy couldnât believe it.
âYes, trust me. I have a plan,â Adam told his friends.
Adam only had a few drops left of the potion, but he tossed whatever he could from the potion of weakness bottle at the griefers.
He then splashed a potion of invisibility on his friends and the griefers stopped in their tracks.
âWhere are they?â the head rainbow grieferâwho wore a black helmetâasked the four rainbow griefers who stood next to him.
âWhy are we moving so slowly?â asked another.
âThey have an alchemist with them. Donât worry, the effects wonât last very long. Weâll find them soon. But for now, just shoot arrows in their direction,â the head griefer instructed his band of griefers.
âWhat direction is that?â asked one of the griefers.
âOver there!â the head griefer commanded. âWhere we saw them last.â
The rainbow griefers blindly shot arrows at where they thought the gang was standing.
âI donât think weâre hitting anyone,â one of the rainbow griefers said as he was struck with an arrow from an invisible Steve.
Lucy sprinted toward the head rainbow griefer and struck him with her diamond sword. âThatâs
