Chapter 10 How many lives?
Anti was still distracted.

No, he was thinking.

But the other party had already seen Anti.

There was such a large area in front of the mine, and he was the only one sitting there, leaning against a tree, completely unconcealed and very conspicuous.

"There's actually a gatekeeper? The rumored mine must be behind there! It looks like this town really has a secret, yay!" Nie Hong smiled and accelerated happily, not at all as if there was a bunch of vicious and unruly people chasing after him.

Anti thought about it, then slowly stood up and picked up the stone hammer.

Unexpectedly, his action of standing up directly caused a reaction from the other party.

Nie Hong jumped up quickly while running and spread his arms, like a big bird spreading its wings in the air.

A strange red wave suddenly appeared out of nowhere and enveloped Anti.

what?
Anti's senses were touched, this familiar feeling...

gas!
After being enveloped by that red thing, my body couldn't move.

Nie Hong quickly stretched out his hand and threw three slender flying knives, all of which were covered with red light. They flew at an extremely fast speed and hit Anti's chest.

The tall figure fell down with a bang, and Nie Hong passed by An Ti and said easily: "Solved~."

[“Condensation Control”: One of the basic Qi miracles, it guides the circulation in the body, allowing dormant Qi to become active outside the body, and imprison living things.]

[“Control Objects”: One of the basic Qi miracles, using the Qi in the body to control external objects, it is easier to perform on inanimate objects. ]

【——Use Qi to control things and transform things into their essence. 】

Nie Hong turned around and stretched out his hand, about to take back the flying knives, but he only heard a few sounds of breaking through the air, and three flying knives flew back towards him with fierce momentum.

This was not taken back by him, but thrown back!
"Fuck!"

At the extreme distance, he still successfully used the object control technique, and the red wave stopped the flying knife a few millimeters in front of his face.

But it was not over yet. Anti had climbed up from the ground without anyone knowing when. With his footsteps crossing each other, he made a large arc and instantly closed the distance between the two. The wind and waves created by the stone hammer swept towards the other party.

boom!
Nie Hong flew backwards and fell to the ground in a mess, gritting his teeth in pain.

Looking at the red color fading from his body, Anti didn't care too much about the fact that the hammer clearly hit the opponent but didn't seriously injure him. He slowly picked up the flying knife that the opponent failed to retrieve.

[“Protection”: Qi miracle, using Qi to isolate external objects, dissolve and even cut off external interference. ]

Nie Hong's expression finally became more serious. He stood up and looked at Anti: "Elite monster guarding the gate? I clearly stabbed him just now, but there was no injury..."

Then, he saw Anti stabbed three throwing knives neatly into his shoulders and continued to approach him.

Nie Hong felt something was not right. This man did not seem like an ordinary madman. After careful consideration, he turned around and ran into the mine.

Anti looked at his back, but instead of chasing him, he turned around and looked behind him.

Several figures approached here, most of them were villagers wearing tattered clothes, and there were also a few people wearing the same style of windbreaker as the earliest believer. The purple eye patterns were very eye-catching, as if this was their symbol.

They chased after him, and after seeing Anti, they were somewhat confused and puzzled.

"Who is he?" a believer wondered.

Another believer thought for a moment, then said, "Didn't I hear that something strange happened in the mine and a very dangerous cursed body appeared?"

"He doesn't look like a cursed body, but..." The two believers looked at Anti casually fiddling with the flying knife stuck in his shoulder, and were hesitant to speak.

But he is definitely not a normal person.

"Some of our people came to investigate before and died here. It's very likely that this thing was responsible. No additional personnel were sent to investigate afterwards. The people from the dependents who just sneaked in are probably already in the mine, and were about to use this thing to stop us." Finally, a believer said with a gloomy face.

Anti looked at them in a daze for a while, then stepped towards them, performing the "Ignite" miracle with his left hand and attaching it to the hammer.

The hammer caught fire, the wind blew through his hair, and the flames flickered.

The townspeople were immediately frightened and stepped back, leaving only two believers ready to fight.

Anti looked at the two of them for a moment.

In an instant, the three of them attached themselves to the body shaper at the same time, and then rushed towards each other.

……

Nie Hong got lost in the mine. He turned around the mine entrance with a flashlight for a long time and became a little dizzy. The environment of the Gross Mine was complicated, and it was completely confusing when he first entered.

"The gatekeeper behind me didn't follow me. I think he got into a fight with the townspeople and believers. Fortunately, it's okay." Nie Hong scratched his head.

Although he was used to being unscrupulous, the thing should have died after being pierced by his flying knife, but it suddenly resurrected and stood up, and its attack was incredibly fierce.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been injured no matter where on his body he was hit by the hammer, and it would have been fatal if it had hit his head.

"That thing must be a monster that looks like a human. I was too careless." Nie Hong reflected on himself for a moment, and suddenly caught a glimpse of fire in front of his eyes, which immediately lit up.

He quickly rushed towards the light: "Finally I got in!"

But soon, he was stunned.

He came to the place where the bodies were piled.

There were a large number of corpses piled up, the stench of decay and burning mixed together, and the few flames were completely unable to bring warmth, making Nie Hong feel like she was falling into an ice cellar.

Suddenly, he heard slow footsteps behind him. He turned around.

At the cave entrance where they came from, Anti walked out with disheveled hair. His handsome face was covered with more dust, and only his pair of dark and lifeless eyes were still conspicuous, as if something was flowing in them.

Wheels--

Something was dropped by Anti and rolled towards Nie Hong.

Nie Hong looked down.

Head...

The two human heads looked like smashed fruits, all burnt, and it was a blessing in disguise that they still managed to maintain their outlines.

Nie Hong reacted quickly: it was the two believers in the town who had chased him before.

They caught up with him. During the time when he was lost, the gatekeeper dealt with the pursuers and then caught up with him!
He took a deep breath, mobilized his senses, got into position, and forced himself to calm down and not panic.

These are things that you will encounter sooner or later when walking in the dream world. He can't be timid because of such a small thing!
Antti performed the body shaping with his left hand, then lunged forward and backward with his legs spread, gently brushing his left hand over his legs to bring the body shaping into place.

boom!
Leaving footprints on the spot, Anti started to sprint.

A red light immediately emerged from Nie Hong's body, and several flying knives were controlled to pass through his clothes and fly forward.

However, Anti quickly moved sideways in the middle of the sprint, and the first batch of flying knives missed the target. Nie Hong adjusted the nearby flying knives to chase Anti while taking out new flying knives and throwing them out.

But Anti moved sideways quickly again, his figure like a ghost, and after a few flashes, Nie Hong lost his sight.

He turned around sharply, and the shadow of the hammer covered his eyes.

The Qi bodyguard had been held in his hand all along, and now he directly launched a resistance.

Block the attack and then use the opponent's momentum to create distance!

Nie Hong was just planning this, but he found that the opponent's hammer was deflected, not as powerful as it looked, and lightly brushed past his Qi guard.

While Nie Hong was sweating profusely, he could only use more of his sensory power to mobilize his Qi to protect himself.

Anti made light of heavy objects and struck Nie Hong with his hammer at a high frequency, hitting her from head to toe several times with both light and heavy blows, but there was not even a single opportunity for him to create distance as Nie Hong had hoped.

But he didn't dare to relax. Judging from the feedback he got from the Qi body protection, even if the hammer was not as powerful as the previous sweeping hammer, the opponent's hammer was not something that his thin arms and legs could easily withstand.

While he was trying hard to resist, he quickly stretched out his finger and pointed.

The flying knife behind An Ti flew back quickly.

Unexpectedly, Anti turned around lightly, and the flying knife flew into the air and returned to Nie Hong's hand, while Anti swung a hammer with his backhand and hit the hand that had just caught the flying knife.

The protective energy and the object-controlling energy were indeed in conflict. At this moment, Nie Hong was completely defenseless!

"what!"

Nie Hong cried out in pain.

He felt the bones in his hand were broken!

It wasn't over yet. An Ti quickly stretched out his leg and swept it low. Nie Hong lost his composure due to the pain, and his feet lost their balance and he fell directly to the ground.

An Ti quickly and mercilessly hit Nie Hong with the stone hammer in his hand.

Nie Hong's reaction also exploded further at this time. He rolled on the ground in a panic and even lost his hat, but he did manage to avoid several of Anti's hammers.

"There is still a chance, there is still a chance! Just use that move!" Nie Hong screamed madly in his heart, holding his hands in his arms, with red surging in them.

Anti's pursuit suddenly slowed down.

Nie Hong had already seized this opportunity in desperation. He paused from rolling around, turned quickly on the ground, stretched out his hand towards Anti, and a pattern of "a ball of flame in the center spreading out in layers" flashed in his hand.

"Qi" totem!
laugh!
but.

The hand he had just stretched out was pierced by a flying knife and nailed to the ground. The totem of faith he had just outlined disappeared in an instant.

"Ah——!" Nie Hong screamed again.

One of the three throwing knives Antiza had picked up on his shoulders was missing.

Nie Hong wanted to reach out and pull out the flying knife, but a foot stepped on his chest.

"A place of affection?"

It was only then that Anti spoke.

Nie Hong looked at him in horror, her body trembling, and she said nothing.

"How many lives do you have left?" Anti continued to ask.

Nie Hong was in so much pain that her consciousness was a little blurred. She said inexplicably: "Two!"

"That's good."

After responding, Anti mercilessly smashed the hammer on Nie Hong's head.

Bang!
