Chapter 4 Calm down
So, with the goal of achieving the miracle of calmness, Anti began to study miracles.

Inspire inspiration and extend active induction to connect with the person you want to borrow power from.

Then, you need to imagine, imagine the shape of the miracle and even its effect, and then release it from the output end of the miracle.

The output end of the miracle is the part of the human body where miracles are released. Everyone's first output end is different, which will also cause slight changes in the release form of some miracles.

Anti's output is the most common hand, the left hand, which is not as unique as his inspiration.

According to Safin, some people's first output end is the buttocks, and the dilemma of beginner miracles continues until that person extends the output end to other parts of the body before it gets relatively better.

It feels sad just listening to it.

Anti spent a long time. Although there was no reference object to mark the time in the cave, he felt that a lot of time had passed.

Fortunately, with his strong need for calmness, he finally caught the flash of the "self" head in his inspiration at a certain moment, and then quickly exported it.

I suddenly felt a cool sensation in my hands, and a soothing white mist formed in them.

What? It sounds a bit weird.

"Good. Next, attach it to the required location. If you stay calm, it will be on your head." Safin, who had been watching and giving instructions from the side, spoke up immediately.

Before the mist completely dissipated, Anti pressed the mist between his eyebrows.

Ding~.

A crisp sound like the ringing of a bell came to his ears, and he immediately felt all his distracting thoughts swept away. His mind was extremely peaceful, just like the so-called old monk in meditation.

Ah~.

This feeling came and went quickly. Anti opened his eyes and asked, "Why just a moment?"

"This is the first time you have used this miracle. It's good enough that it worked successfully." Safin shook his head and smiled, then turned around and started digging in a corner of the cave.

Soon, Anti saw what he had dug out.

A hare half covered with frost.

"You must be hungry now, time to eat." Safin said calmly.

He simply processed the hare in his hand, skewered it with a piece of wood, and roasted it next to the campfire: "The conditions are limited. It is said that the food in the dependent land is much better than that in the dream world, but let's make do with it for now."

Anti shook his head and said, "I know, there's nothing to be picky about right now."

The two of them finished half the rabbit quickly. It didn't taste very good, but they both ate it up.

"Originally, I could eat this rabbit for a long time by myself. One more mouth means one more food supply." Safin said as he threw the remaining bones into the fire.

"I'll go out and look for food." Anti offered.

Safin nodded. "You should also understand the environment of the shallow mine so that you can act in the future. My range of activities is limited, so I will explain it to you first."

Safin told Anti that he had carved marks at some of the forks in the mine tunnel, and if they followed these marks, they would basically not get lost in the shallow part.

"Although there are many cursed bodies in the mine, there are also ordinary creatures, which are our source of food. The cursed bodies are only malicious towards humans and are not very interested in other creatures." Safin explained.

"How is the cursed body formed? Is it also a kind of miracle?" At this point, Anti asked a curious question.

Safin thought for a moment and said, "Miracles are not completely dead things."

Anti was puzzled.

Safin continued, "Miracles are not simple, easy-to-use props. As long as someone believes in them, another miracle is likely to happen. Uncontrolled desires can bring about terrible incidents. Most people can't do it, but if a large number of people have this kind of intention, it's easy for this kind of thing to happen."

"Miracles come at a price."

After that, Safin also said to Anti: "You can use miracles, but you must not be obsessed with the convenience brought by miracles. When you really encounter a similar situation in the future, remember, remember your name."

……

Anti walked in the dark mine tunnel holding the lantern. He was very happy that the lantern was still there. Although it was only for a short time, he had already developed some feelings for it.

As a miracle novice, even if he used the best media, the lighting he used would not last long, so he chose a simple method.

It’s a pity that the pickaxe didn’t seem to be picked up by Safin, as it was the pickaxe that he had fought alongside for a while.

But it doesn’t matter, there are a lot of them where the corpses were piled before.

Safin said that the gathering and rioting of a large number of cursed monsters was not a normal phenomenon. Normally, these cursed monsters were very timid and did not dare to appear in the light. They could only vent their resentment in the dark.

Although he didn't know whether it was true or not, Anti was much more confident than before. Even if a group of monsters came again...

He should be able to run away this time.

He followed the methodical route and got familiar with it. He returned to the wooden walkway where a bloody battle had taken place. There were still corpses of monsters and thick bloodstains that could not be identified.

"Pickaxe, pickaxe..." After searching for a while, he looked down and found a blood-stained pickaxe lying alone among the corpses below.

It turned out that it fell down.

It took him some time to walk back to the pile of corpses. This time he still encountered a small number of monsters along the way, but they were indeed not as aggressive as when they gathered in groups. Although he would still be attacked if he got close, he could get rid of them by quickly passing by. It seemed that what Safin said was true.

Just as I was about to pick up the pickaxe, I suddenly heard footsteps.

A group of people dressed similarly to those they had seen before walked into the pile of corpses.

Anti was still standing there so uprightly. Holding the lamp, he was so conspicuous that he was like a beacon in this dim place where corpses were piled.

The group of people saw him at once, and then one of them immediately pointed at him and said something.

This familiar feeling, could it be the guy holding the lantern from before? Should I return the lantern to him?
Anti is habitually distracted.

"You are not a cursed body." At this time, the leader of the team stepped forward and spoke in a deep voice.

He was a bearded man who seemed to be dressed differently from the people around him. He wore a loose gray windbreaker with a strange purple eye pattern on it. He had a necklace with white minerals on his chest and a bracelet with two-color minerals on his hand.

Miracle Xiaobai smelled an unusual smell.

Although Safin did not teach him systematic knowledge on how to identify believers, he seemed to have this inexplicable intuition.

"No, I wonder why you are so afraid of me." Anti answered without any fluctuation in his tone.

The man raised his eyes and looked at Anti carefully: "Where did you come from?"

"I do not know either."

"A person from the land of affinity?"

"I do not know either."

"What are you doing here?"

"I do not know either."

The man's eye twitched, while Anti's face remained expressionless.

"You can talk tough, and I hope you can keep doing that." After saying that, the man slightly spread his legs and lowered his shoulders.

Anti caught a glimpse of a distorted pattern on the necklace on his chest, the main body of which resembled the Chinese character "人".

Then, some kind of power seemed to suddenly gather on the man's feet.

Body shaping?

Originally, Safin planned to first teach Anti another basic required miracle, body sculpting.

The inspiration type is self-inspiration, and as for the effect... it's too difficult to explain. It's okay to understand it as physical strengthening, at least that's how Anti understands it.

Safin had demonstrated it to Anti, so he could see it clearly, but at that time Safin's body shaping could cover the whole body, while the man in front of him only reached the thighs at most.

I don't know if that place is covered.

Although the situation seemed dangerous, it did not stop Anti from being distracted.

boom!
The man stomped on the ground, leaving a footprint there, and rushed towards Anti like a cunning rabbit.

Anti lightly lifted his foot and stepped on the pickaxe lying on the ground, and the pickaxe stood up at the top. Anti grasped the handle and lifted it up directly.

The opponent's sprint trajectory was easy to predict, and he directly collided with Anti's pickaxe.

The tip of the pickaxe pierced the opponent's abdomen, hitting him hard. With a cry of pain, the opponent's forward movement came to an abrupt halt, but Anti was also pushed back several steps by the considerable momentum. "Oh? It feels good. His body shaping is not completely covered. Other parts are still strengthened, but it is indeed possible to break through the defense with ordinary means." Anti thought.

Safin demonstrated in front of Anti how to use a sculpted back to hit his head against a wall, leaving a hole in the wall but leaving his head intact.

The demonstration method is not very good, but it is indeed quite intuitive and obvious.

The gap between the person in front of me and Safin is quite large.

Suddenly, the opponent fought back fiercely in pain, kicking Antii fiercely. The distance was too close and Antii was caught off guard, so he only had time to raise his pickaxe.

There was a dull sound accompanied by the breaking of the pickaxe, and Anti felt a huge force that he could hardly match burst out. He flew out and rolled on the ground in a mess.

"Uh……"

It was so painful after I fell, my hands were shaking as if a thousand needles were piercing my muscles, and the abrasions on my body felt like they were burning on fire.

But this feeling is fleeting, because soon after the stimulating pain appears, these minor injuries recover as before, just like the illusion of someone stabbing the brain with an invisible needle.

Anti got up, turned around and ran towards a tunnel behind him.

And what is certain is that, although this guy's physique is far from Safin's, it is easy for him to blow himself up. The kick just now was really on the head. Anti doesn't know whether the gift from so-and-so can pull him up again.

The footsteps behind him were very quick. Anti turned around and threw the lantern directly at the other person's face. As expected, he was blocked and fell to the ground.

He continued to turn around and run directly into the tunnel with an expressionless face.

The man grabbed a torch from the side and said, "You stay here. Although he looks a little strange, he is just an ordinary person. If he appears outside, go and capture him immediately."

The others were meek and did not dare to raise any opinions, and in the end they just agreed to everything.

The man chased after Anti with a torch.

After entering the tunnel, he frowned. Anti had disrupted their whereabouts. The time he had just wasted in admonishing those unruly people had allowed Anti to run a little too far.

He paused and closed his eyes.

After about five seconds, the necklace on the chest flashed the "human" pattern again, and this time the focus was on the ears.

The noisy sounds in the tunnel were quickly taken into his ears, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

found it.

He found the direction and jogged quickly. Even though the space was not big, his legs and feet, which were his first miracle output, were still very nimble.

The torch in his hand gradually illuminated the scene in front of him, and finally he saw a figure.

"Hey!"

"Damn it!"

It's a cursed body!

He subconsciously raised his foot and kicked the cursed creature's head to pieces. After the man cursed a few words, before he could delay any further, several more cursed creatures emerged from the surroundings.

The man was too lazy to deal with these things and tried to disperse them with a torch.

The cursed body moved cautiously, continuously making unpleasant noises, confusing the man's newly strengthened hearing.

Suddenly, a handful of earth and rocks flew out from the side and directly extinguished the torch.

The tunnel suddenly became pitch black.

"It seems you don't know how to 'light up'." Anti's voice echoed faintly in the tunnel.

"You clever little brat!"

The man shouted and cursed while dealing with the monster that rushed towards him after losing the torch.

The shaping of the unskilled output side lasts for a limited time, and his hearing gradually returns to normal.

He just felt that Anti wanted to use this to completely hold him back, and even wanted to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

But even if he couldn't see or hear anything, and didn't have time to make up for the miracle, the body shaping he had added to his legs was more than enough to deal with these monsters, and he could just search slowly later. Anyway, the outside had been blocked, and this kid could only go deeper into the mine, where he would die sooner or later.

……

Anti was leaning against the rock wall, listening to the noisy movements in the darkness, thinking.

He had memorized this road from his previous exploration, and he was not running randomly along this road, because he had encountered and shaken off several cursed bodies here before, so he felt that it could be used now.

He can now escape smoothly and go back to Safin. He will definitely be safe once he returns to Safin.

But he had other concerns.

First, the compensatory mechanism in him, which was mentioned before, is also related to inspiration, but in form it seems that there is something else watching him and observing his performance.

Then maybe he should try to show more, maybe he can trigger more "rewards from big guys".

After all, although the current rewards come with a price, the effect is real. Anti has just crossed over and has no one to rely on, so having more cards in hand will help his physical and mental health in the future.

What, what if the big boss behind the scenes has bad intentions and his fate is controlled by him?
This was not within Anti's consideration.

Now that he has saved his life, Anti doesn't have any goals in life. He is planning to work diligently and be a good worker.

Working anywhere is not working? Working here is much more exciting than before.

Anti knew that this was all he could do.

Second.

He wanted a medium of his own.

He is an inspiration idiot among miracle novices, so it is normal to have more mediums as backup. After all, Safin did not say that he would give his medium to Anti.

In a dark and noisy environment, the opponent is entangled by the cursed body and there is no lighting miracle. Body shaping and hearing enhancement also require a certain amount of time, and the duration is limited.

Although there is a big gap in hard power, these conditions are sufficient.

Anti glanced at the broken pickaxe in his hand and said, "Anyway, let's try it first. It won't make you pregnant if you try."

As he spoke, he thought for ten seconds.

Calm down!

Ding~.

The moment his mind cleared, he thrust the pickaxe into his stomach, stirred it for a while and then pulled it out!

The pain was so severe that he would have fainted under normal circumstances, but with the help of calmness he managed to stabilize himself. His body was shaking violently and his facial expression seemed to be out of control. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched, revealing a hideous smile.

But it’s dark here now and no one can see it.

The body begins to regenerate.

When regenerating, the sensitivity of the whole body increases significantly. Anti discovered it when he fainted from the pain at first. It's not just the pain that is increased...

All the senses are heightened, too, and the description of "whole-body sensitivity" is not nonsense.

He quickly sensed again, and sure enough, the inspiration that was already connected to his physical senses was also strengthened.

This time, the duration of the calming effect was reduced to three seconds! The duration was also extended!

Keep calm!

Ding~.

Good, this way I can keep myself awake.

Picking up the blood-stained pickaxe, he slowly walked towards the man.

The opponent was only very strong in his legs and feet, and the rest of his body was not very strong. Now the opponent was completely blind, while Anti's senses were enhanced in all directions, allowing him to move freely in the darkness.

A pair of eyes that seemed to have thick black substance flowing in them slowly approached the other party.

Lift the pickaxe.

Smash it down.

laugh!
