Chapter 28 Decisiveness
The Hawthorne family is the founding family of Grosstown. In the early years, the Hawthorne family developed the mines here and hired a large number of workers to carry out the operations. Later, they gradually improved various facilities and built such a town with mining as its source.
Because many of the workers recruited were unemployed people from nearby towns, and the Hawthorne family had given them generous treatment in the early years, the townspeople of Grosse Town had no objection to such a boss.
Grosstown's economy thrives by selling special minerals that can be polished and refined into a medium.
Eric is just a minor character, a small and vulgar interlude in this beautiful scenery.
Beauty can cover up some unimportant little problems, but when this beauty is broken, some things lose their security.
The mine unearthed the remains of the old Wandering God, causing the Wandering God curse to begin to spread.
Considering the impact of the Youshen ruins, the Hawthorne family chose to close the mine and suspend mining.
But in this way, most of the townspeople would lose their source of income. This might be fine in the short term, but over time the town would easily fall apart.
Eric was a smart man. If he was not allowed to dig, he would dig secretly. He was the one who first gathered people to dig out the secret passage in the chapel.
After that, word spread that the remains of the Wandering God had been unearthed here, which brought the Night Chaser Church to the fore.
……
A large number of cursed bodies have appeared in the town. Ordinary cursed bodies are fine, but the cursed collectives that have appeared in the town, many of those spider monsters have eyes.
From the information that has been obtained from the night eyes, those eyes have the power of eyes.
I don't know what it is specifically, but it seems to be a kind of power that can be accumulated through the eyes, and this power can bring about miracles of wandering gods.
The concentrated gaze of the eyed spider monster will cause the target's inspiration to fail, making it unable to use miracles, which is quite fatal to believers.
In order to avoid being ambushed, An Ti and Nie Hong need to replenish their bodies frequently to prevent themselves from being completely powerless when attacked.
Of course, the most important thing for Anti is to stay calm.
If he didn't stay calm, it would be difficult for Anti to even move now.
Nie Hong kept moving his hands, controlling the flying knife to pierce all the eyes of a one-eyed spider monster in the distance. Then Anti approached, lit the stone hammer and smashed it down hard to kill it.
After dealing with it a few times, I became familiar with dealing with this spider monster.
Here, the two men had just dealt with a few monsters and were about to move on when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps, as if several people were running.
"Another townsman?" Nie Hong looked suspicious.
"The footsteps were strong and rhythmic, not like that," Anti replied.
As they were talking, they walked around a building and happened to see two figures running under the moon, and chasing behind them was a Night Chaser Knight!
When they saw the clothes of the two fleeing people, An Ti and Nie Hong immediately recognized that they were from Blue Star.
The two Blue Star people also noticed An Ti and Nie Hong who came out, and recognized their identities. They quickly waved and shouted, "Hey! Save us! Help us!"
Seeing this, the Night Chaser Knight behind him paused in pursuit, and his body sculpting suddenly condensed in large quantities at his legs, and then exploded violently!
With a surprising thrust, he swung the terrifying long sword in his hand towards the two men.
Nie Hong realized something was wrong when the knight's running movements became distorted, and he immediately used his flying knife to attack.
It was difficult for Ningkong to catch an opponent with such explosive power, so he chose the most direct confrontation.
The knight pressed his body sideways and changed his movements quickly. The seemingly crude armor could not be pierced easily by a flying knife. It could be easily resolved as long as the point of force was slightly shifted.
After two crisp sounds, the flying knife was thrown behind him powerlessly by the knight, who swung his sword again.
But this time, what was held before him was not Nie Hong's flying knife, but two straight swords that he was familiar with.
Keng!
He swung his sword to separate the two swords in advance, but he had already lost the opportunity to quickly capture the two people who were chasing him, so he chose to retreat and regroup.
The two swords fell to the ground and were dragged back by Anti's shackles and fell into his hands.
The two men stopped beside Antiniehong and thanked him repeatedly.
Nie Hong greeted him, but Anti ignored him and just raised his sword with his left hand to cover the left half of his face: "Are you here to give me the third sword? Although your swords are a bit blunt, the artistic level is still good."
"Night eyes!?" The Night Chaser Knight noticed Anti's eyes with some surprise.
Then he seemed to suddenly realize, "Is this fate? On this night when the wandering god is about to be awakened by us, the owner of the Night Eyes of the modern era has also come here! Are you here to stop us? Or to become our nourishment?"
As he spoke, he began to mutter to himself.
Anti narrowed his eyes slightly, holding the sword in both hands and dropping it to his side: "I'm here to look for something. I want to ask if you have seen a silver pendant?"
The Night Chaser Knight shook his head, holding the sword tightly with both hands and making the same salute as Anti, as if returning the salute: "I'm sorry, I didn't know. No matter what, I will hunt your eyes. This is our determined destiny."
"Okay, then I'm going to go get my Terror Unit 3 too." Anti first calmed himself down, then held the sword in both hands and got ready.
In an instant, both of them rushed forward at the same time!
The Night Chaser Knight's body shaping is undoubtedly more advanced, and his explosive power is stronger. He chopped down with great force.
Anti changed his footsteps and dodged the attack with a slight flash. Even if the opponent followed up with a sweep, Anti continued to avoid it easily.
The two men's figures quickly intertwined, and the three swords collided continuously, even splashing sparks from time to time, which dazzled Nie Hong.
He already regretted not working hard enough to get a perfect score in the close combat course.
No, even if you complete the close combat course in college, you can't reach this level! He took back the throwing knives and held several of them in his hands, hesitating and unable to find a suitable opportunity to help. While he was stunned, the other two Blue Star people did not hesitate at all. After looking at each other, they slightly adjusted their positions.
Both men wore gloves on their hands, inlaid with the basic mixed media of the Blue Star standard.
One person first condensed a fire totem, condensed the flame with both hands and controlled it, and the flame formed a circle floating in front of him.
At this time, Nie Hong also noticed the fire coming from the side: "What are you going to do?"
They didn't answer, and another person completed the outline of the totem, which was a wooden totem.
The fire ring was moved in front of Mu Xinzhe, who opened his hands and clapped them hard in front of him!
"Fallen leaves"!
The howling wind rolled up a ring of fire, which immediately turned into a roaring vortex of flames that swept towards the fighting figures of Anti and the Night Chaser Knight.
Anti glanced sideways, his face calm.
The Night Chaser Knight noticed it and tried to dodge, but suddenly Anti threw away his sword with one hand, grabbed his sword with force, and then stretched out his leg to hook his lower body.
"You're crazy!" the Night Chaser Knight shouted, trying to break free from Anti's restraints.
Anti said nothing and let himself and others be engulfed by the flames.
Boom!
Nie Hong directly pulled out the flying knife and rushed towards the two men, but the two men reacted quickly. With two against one and Nie Hong's close combat attitude, they quickly restrained Nie Hong.
"Little brother, calm down. That knight killed many of us, and even took the life of my brother. He has some strange tricks. We can't delay. This sacrifice is worth it so that everyone can be rescued." The wood believer held Nie Hong down and said.
Nie Hong tried to break free, and shouted with wide eyes: "My friend is a human being, right? Have you asked us if we still have the life lock? "
"You are so young, you must have a life lock. Let's just forget about it. We don't want to kill you again. If you insist on doing it, we have no choice but to kill you." The Fire Messenger also said from the side, his tone was flat, although not to the point of contempt, but also nonchalant.
Obviously, these two people knew that Nie Hong and An Ti looked young. If they were young, they would definitely not have much experience, and they would definitely have a life lock. Young people on Blue Star these days are very careful about their lives. After all this, they could only suffer in silence and laugh it off.
To be honest, although Nie Hong has killed people from the Hunmeng Realm, as for the people from Blue Star...
Nie Hong's clenched hands relaxed and he hesitated for a moment.
"Hold them." A voice that was calm and somewhat scary suddenly sounded.
Hearing the sound, Nie Hong instantly got rid of all his confusion, and his clamped hands suddenly gave up struggling and clenched tightly!
Condensation control!
The two were startled, but the red light had already enveloped them.
A figure suddenly rushed out from the black smoke and pierced the Fire Bearer's chest with a sword: "You only have one life?"
The Fire Messenger's pupils trembled violently and blood flowed from his mouth. He was about to speak, but Anti tilted his head and the sword in his other hand swept across quickly, causing his head to soar into the sky.
The short-term control ended at this time, and Mu Xinzhe was able to move, but before he could fight back, the Achilles tendon of one of his legs was cut off by Anti's sword as he turned around.
He knelt on one knee in embarrassment with a scream, and Anti kicked him down, then stabbed him in the abdomen with a sword, nailing him to the ground.
At this time, the charred skin on Anti's body began to slowly peel off and fade away, revealing new skin.
"Uh...ah..." Mu Xinzhe looked at Anti, "Let...let me go..."
"How many lives do you have left?" Anti lowered his head and asked in a flat tone.
Nie Hong, who had just climbed up nearby, felt that this scene was a little familiar.
But the difference is that this person did not answer.
Suddenly, Nie Hong heard the sound again coming from the place where the vortex of fire had swept before.
The armor of the Night Chaser Knight was all charred, his helmet was blown off, and he was staggering, but he was not dead.
The combined attack skills of these two people looked quite good, but the damage of the fire was actually spread a lot by the wind. It was indeed very hot, but it was really difficult to suppress Anti's regeneration at this level. The Night Chaser Knight who was prepared to take the damage also managed to hold on.
Seeing this, Anti picked up another dense straight sword, then leaned over and stretched out his hand towards the face of the wood believer.
“Ah…ah…what are you doing…don’t!”
chirp-
Anti dug out his eyeballs, but he didn't do it very well, so they were already a mess when he took them out. But it was not a big problem, as he just smeared them directly on the sword.
A faint blue light flickered on the sword, and then it was swung out directly.
The Unseen Blade.
The Night Chaser Knight who had just stood up obviously had no room to resist. The dark blue sword energy passed across his waist, causing him to fall down with a bang.
As the moonlight shone down, Anti tore off the tattered clothes on his upper body and threw them away. He pulled out a handful of hair that had its rubber bands burned and was now scattered. He was very happy that Lebanon's regeneration even took his hair into consideration. It was very thoughtful.
"Well, this is a happy ending for everyone," he said casually.
Nie Hong was stunned by the sight of An Ti being so carefree, and she couldn't help but feel envious.
