Chapter 13 Siege
However, Anti was unable to master the two relatively advanced miracles of Qi, "Air Absorbing Hand" and "Gas Control".
The Qi-Gathering Practitioner lacked living creatures to try out, and Nie Hong said that he had mice and rabbits at school that could be used for practice, but the conditions in the mine were not good enough, so if he wanted to try it, he would have to go hunting.
The reason why gas can't be learned is even simpler.
There's not enough wine.
There is really no other way.
So under Anti's expressionless gaze, the sweaty Nie Hong took out another miracle of Qi that he had never shown before.
[Qi Yin: Qi miracle, releases strong Qi, attracts things within a certain range towards itself, regardless of life or death. ]
[——This is the spirit of greed.]
Anyway, use this to calm Anti's emotions first.
But Anti was almost satisfied. Having learned so much at one time, he needed to spend more time to master them. The three usable Qi miracles became one of his next topics.
Safin was still helping Anti with literacy and supplementing his knowledge of the mixed dream world, and Nie Hong would shamelessly come over to listen. Safin had no objection and would curiously ask Nie Hong about the history of the mixed dream world that she was learning in the dependent land.
About a week passed.
Nie Hong's originally youthful attire had become dusty in the battle with Anti. He hadn't washed himself thoroughly for a week and he felt like he had turned into a savage.
I have become less reserved than I was at the beginning and have started to get used to life here. Humans are truly powerful.
The reason why he knew how much time had passed was naturally because Nie Hong had a watch.
Nie Hong wanted to go home almost the next day, but she didn't dare to say it.
That day, An suggested going hunting and practicing miracles and hammer techniques. After coming back, he went straight to Nie Hong and said, "Lead the way, I'll take you back."
Nie Hong was a little sleep-deprived and was still in a daze, but she quickly reacted: "Really?!"
"Yeah." Anti nodded in response, then looked at Safin.
Safin nodded and responded, "Be careful, especially when passing through the town. Because this kid barged in before, they should be more alert."
"Take care of yourself too, don't die before I come back." Anti said.
"Since you have promised me, I will hold on until you get the things back." Safin said with a smile.
After some simple preparations, An Ti and Nie Hong left the cave and walked out of the mine.
Before leaving, Safin gave Anti a black hooded cloak, which was better than nothing. Anti had been accustomed to being shirtless in the mines, and he felt a little uncomfortable putting on something that could barely be considered clothes.
Walking in the mine tunnel, Nie Hong told An Ti how he came here when asked.
"Not long ago, in a small town at the foot of Gross Mountain, we Blue Star people opened a new teleportation point, so this area has become lively, and many Blue Star people have come to explore. I heard about Gross Town from an old man when I was wandering around that city, so I came here to try my luck..."
"only you?"
"Well, it sounds like a hidden plot after all. I want to try it out by myself to see if there is any adventure..."
"It seems like you all treat this place as a game." Anti said.
Nie Hong didn't know how to answer this question.
Because Blue Star really treats the things in the dream world as a game to a large extent, mainly because they are too similar.
There are extra lives, there are teleportation points, and you can travel back and forth unconditionally.
The mixed dream world provides too much convenience to Blue Star, so it is normal for the people of Blue Star to have such thoughts.
But even if you have extra lives and many conveniences, you will still die when the time comes.
"What was the situation in the town like when you sneaked into it?"
"There were not many people on the road. Occasionally I saw a few people walking unsteadily. I felt something was wrong but didn't dare to talk to them. However, I was still discovered by the patrolling believers and was chased. However, the strength of most believers is very average. I can deal with one or two." Nie Hong replied.
"Have you ever killed anyone?"
"Yes, I have killed him." Nie Hong answered as a matter of course.
Anti turned and glanced at him.
Nie Hong was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
Anti shook his head: "It's okay. We may have to fight our way out if necessary. Be prepared."
Nie Hong nodded quickly to show that he understood.
They left the mine.
The weather today is still bad, it is cloudy, with light wind, and it is getting close to evening.
As soon as they came out, An Ti and Nie Hong felt embarrassed.
Coming towards us from the mountain path was a team.
The townspeople with purple eye patterns tattooed on their foreheads held torches and various weapons, and in the middle of the team were huge bears and vicious dogs with crazy eyes and drooling mouths.
Several believers led the team, all wearing various media, and one could feel the active inspiration in them.
An Ti and Nie Hong stood at the entrance of the mine, looking down at the team directly.
"Fuck..." Nie Hong expressed his inner collapse with the simplest words.
He can deal with one or two, but what the hell are these one or two?
Anti had a blank expression on his face. He was used to encountering all kinds of bad luck frequently, but it didn't matter. His bad luck would eventually turn into good luck, and the people who brought him bad luck would eventually be even more unlucky than him.
Anyway, calm down first. Ding~.
A believer on the other side said in a deep voice: "The target has been found."
"Solve it quickly. Now is a critical period. We are short of manpower. Don't create unnecessary trouble." A voice came from the team.
Only then did they realize that there was a man in the team wearing armor and dressed as a knight, holding a long straight sword in his hand. The armor on his body had been modified in a rough and crude way, with an eye pattern engraved on it to show his identity.
The long straight sword is also engraved with similar eye patterns, and they are very densely packed, which is the kind of "art" that people with trypophobia need to avoid.
"Yes." The believer who spoke responded and pointed at Anti.
"Woof woof woof!" The crazy dogs were all stimulated by something and rushed forward barking loudly.
The roar of the giant bear followed closely behind, and then the lost townspeople.
Nie Hong's legs were shaking.
"Why are you standing there? Run." Anti said after touching his legs and body with his left hand and realizing why the boy was still in a daze.
Nie Hong reacted and clapped his hands to perform body shaping, quickly rubbing it over his legs, and after strengthening his body, he ran away.
But after running for a distance, he looked back and found that Anti had not caught up with him!
Then he saw Anti reaching out and stabbing himself in the abdomen. As blood gushed out, he pulled the stone hammer out of his flesh.
Nie Hong, who was wondering where such a big piece of evidence as Anti-Zang had gone not long ago, was stunned. This scene was quite shocking.
Swish!
The Qi totem flashed across Anti's left hand.
Royal thing!
The bright red air enveloped the stone hammer. Anti swung his left hand vigorously, and the heavy stone hammer flew out instantly, smashing a dog coming from the side and sending it flying.
With his left hand loosely clenched, Anti swung his left hand vigorously, and the hammer flew through the air and rushed forward, directly knocking the attacking team, which was originally of a certain size, into pieces.
Except for a few bears, most of the dogs and people fell to the ground.
A dog seized the opportunity, successfully approached Anti, opened its bloody mouth and bit Anti's neck.
Anti pulled with his left hand, and the hammer quickly flew back from behind the dog's head, smashing the dog's head directly and then returning to Anti's hand.
One of the other party's believers took the opportunity to come over. The necklace around his neck flashed a pattern of a tree with lush branches and leaves. It was a wood-inspired totem.
But the opponent's output end does not seem to be the most common hand but...
The believer opened his mouth and pointed it at Antioch.
A hurricane roared through its mouth, and the withered yellow leaves were blown towards Anti.
[“Falling Leaves”: A miracle of wood. Although it is inspired by wood, it is a wonderful demonstration of wood guiding the wind.]
[——The wind blows the leaves off, and the leaves fly away with the wind.]
Anti felt as if he was hit by an invisible soft wall, and the fallen leaves everywhere interfered with his vision.
Most of the active senses were also disturbed by this hurricane.
Several other believers took the opportunity to move closer. One of them rolled out a fireball and threw it over. Another condensed a "rock" totem and reached into the ground to dig out a ridiculously large stone and threw it over. There were also a few who did not perform other miracles, but simply rushed forward with their bodies shaped.
Anti remained calm in the face of such a siege, and managed to remain calm despite being disturbed.
Ding~.
Whizzing!
The flying knife, which was imbued with energy, flew past and deflected the trajectory of the large rock.
An Ti glanced at Nie Hong with some surprise who had actually run back, but his original counterattack plan was not stopped.
Faced with the siege, he did not retreat but advanced. After using the hammer to block the flashing energy totem on his left hand, a strong energy formed in his left hand and then went directly towards the nearest believer who intended to get close to the fight with the cover of firepower.
Air attraction!
The strong energy was like a whirlpool, capturing the opponent's figure.
The irresistible force pulled him over, and his neck fell into Anti's hands.
Then he lifted the man up and placed him in front of him.
Before the opponent had time to struggle, all kinds of long-range moves hit the back of the human shield.
The believer died on the spot. Of course, with such concentrated firepower, Anti was still somewhat embarrassed by the explosion, but it was obvious that Mr. Shield, who had been completely disfigured, took most of the damage for Anti.
The wound healed quickly, and Anti shook his hair off the ground and stood up.
But the believers who had originally planned to get closer and fight hesitated.
They hesitated, but Antioch did not.
Air attraction!
Another person was pulled over, but this time he was not used as a shield, but was directly grabbed by the head and then swung with a hammer.
Perfect shot.
The head was shattered.
