Gate of God Chapter 142: The Scariest Scene

Chapter 142: The Scariest Scene

Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations

Fang Zhengzhi had never liked to waste things.

He always felt that even something as small as a nail would have its use. If he had just thrown a few nails into the bush, that would have been too stingy.

He remembered a classic example recorded in the annals of history.

Han Xin seeked protection in Xiang Yu’s army.

Once, Xiang Yu had set up an ambush for the Qin Army. They planned to trap the Qin Army in the mountain pass and attack with fire.

The difference was that Xiang Yu proposed to use fire arrows only whereas Han Xin suggested pouring oil before using the flaming arrows.

In the end, the difference in damage dealt was clear.

Throwing nails was the same idea. If it was in the bush, one should use green. If it was in the sand, one should use yellow. If it was at night, one should use black…

Else, it would be a waste.

Yan Xiu looked at the colorful nails in Fang Zhengzhi’s hands. Then, he turned back and saw a pale glow on the floor.

“You want to try too?”

“Mm.”

“If you want to throw nails on the road, the best way is to throw a few on the path for them to see. Then, this some into the bushes by the roadside…”

“Ok!” Yan Xiu’s eyes glimmered as he learnt.

Fang Zhengzhi smiled. He was quite the guru in setting up traps using nails. He had been setting up such traps for over eight years.

Having done his research and experimentation for over eight years, he was extremely professional.

Then, Fang Zhengzhi taught Yan Xiu some other traps. For example. How to use the distance between two trees to block the view of the enemy. Another example was how to place a rock to make the opponent take a longer route unconsciously.

Of course…

All of these were for a purpose.

That was to enhance the effectiveness of the nails.

…

Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu did not hurry along. They did not even seem to realize the immense danger they were in. Yan Xiu was listening intently as Fang Zhengzhi continued to describe his techniques in excruciating detail.

He had always been the one to educate Fang Zhengzhi about cultivation. This time however, Fang Zhengzhi was teaching him and this was quite an emotional moment…

Not long after Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu left.

Lu Yusheng arrived too, infuriated by the previous incident. Then, he saw the nails thrown in the middle of the road by Yan Xiu.

“Again? I’m not falling for that again!” Lu Yusheng snorted, then turned to shout at the group of youths, “Open your eyes wider and see the nails on the roads you fools!”

After finishing, Lu Yusheng turned to the bush by the roadside.

Then…

Nothing happened.

Lu Yusheng relaxed. He felt that this was his time for redemption after the humiliation previously. He turned to the youths behind him, wanting to let them know how smart he was.

“Follow me! Walk faster, I must kill Fang Zhengzhi today!”

Soon after…

“Ouch, f*ck… f*ck… f*ck… f*ck me!” Lu Yusheng’s screams rang out once again. His face was comforted, “Fang Zhengzhi, I will not let you off!”

…

Fang Zhengzhi was introducing Yan Xiu to more trap setting knowledge when he heard the screams behind him. He felt like he was wronged.

Those nails were placed by Yan Xiu.

However, Yan Xiu didn’t think that Lu Yusheng was scolding the wrong person.

Afterall, Fang Zhengzhi was the one who had brought the nails. He was just in charge of throwing them.

The two innocent and pure people looked at each other, then, they nodded at each other innocently. Fang Zhengzhi meant ‘not bad’.

Yan Xiu meant, “well done.”

Since they had very little nails left, Fang Zhengzhi decided to teach Yan Xiu some methods of improvising.

For example: What kind of branch can be turned into a wooden spear the most easily. The more important aspect here was where the spear must be hidden in order to shoot prey more accurately.

These were all knowledge he gained from hunting. However,the only difference was that Fang Zhengzhi experienced was a slight increase in his accuracy and lethality.

Yan Xiu listened intently. Then, Fang Zhengzhi began to demonstrate.

Afterwards, Fang Zhengzhi asked Yan Xiu to try it out himself.

New knowledge would always capture attention and rouse curiosity. As someone from the city, Yan Xiu knew extremely little about the jungle.

As such, Yan Xiu began trying out enthusiastically.

Before long…

The road was filled with all kinds of traps. There were over 30 unique traps along that path alone.

…

Lu Yusheng finally gave up the idea of pursuing. Firstly, he had been met with too many set backs, but, more importantly, this was a parallel dimension.

Every parallel dimension was a complete world.

It had the four seasons, flora and fauna, mountains and rivers, unknown life forms…

Anything that was unknown had the potential to be dangerous. Lu Yusheng felt this keenly and decided to manage his risks more conservatively.

An unlucky youth dressed in black was pushed to the front. He was one of the top talents in the world. At the tender age of 22, he was at the peak of the Star Conglomerate State. He was ranked 89th on the Rising Dragon Roll. Whilst his ranking was not high, he was still ranked on it.

By being pushed to the front, it did not mean that he wasn’t a talent.

He just wasn’t a disciple of the 13 Constabularies.

As such, he was relegated to the front…

It may seem tyrannical, but this was the cold truth of the world.

…

Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu walked side by side in the forest. They knew that Lu Yusheng and the others were behind them because they heard a noise after some time.

This voice was loud and pitiful. It was difficult not to hear it.

Fang Zhengzhi could understand Lu Yusheng’s emotions. If there was a choice, Lu Yusheng would definitely change his route. After all, there were many paths in the forests.

But, he couldn’t.

He wanted to chase Fang Zhengzhi down, and he wanted to return the pain he was feeling. He even wanted to cause Fang Zhengzhi many times more pain than what he was currently suffering. As such, he could only follow the same path.

Fang Zhengzhi knew this. As such, he wanted to inflict as much pain as possible to the pursuing Lu Yusheng.

Only then would Lu Yusheng continue pursuing him…

Of course, that was insufficient. After all, if someone suffered too much pain, the person would retreat.

In order to keep Lu Yusheng on his tail, Fang Zhengzhi will always change his route according to the direction of the screams. Furthermore, he would also leave some marks behind so Lu Yusheng knew where he was going.

Sometimes, in order to prevent the distance between them and Lu Yusheng from growing too big, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu would even stop to take a break, eat, and drink every now and then.

They had their reasons for keeping Lu Yusheng on their tail.

There were many dangers in the forest. Fang Zhengzhi could clearly feel the presence of dangerous, unknown life forms. As such, someone needed to sacrifice themselves. Fang Zhengzhi was of the opinion that the stronger the person, the greater the responsibility.

Since Lu Yusheng was so powerful, he should take on such a responsibility.

With two groups to choose from, one advancing steadily and the other screaming pitifully and reeking of blood, the choice of targets for an unknown life form was obvious.

Perhaps this is the teamwork Master Hou was talking about!

…

Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu slowed down as Lu Yusheng and the other pursuers slowed down. The pursuing group slowed down to be more wary of the traps laid, whilst defending themselves against attacks from unknown life forms.

“They’re fighting again?” Fang Zhengzhi heard the sounds of battle behind. This was accompanied by the roar of a wild beast. He imagined the gore behind him.

“Probably, let’s wait here for them!”

“Ok!”

“Are we being too cruel?”

“I kind of pity them, but Chi Hou said that teamwork is important, so I have no choice…”

“You’re right, I’ll go lay more traps!” Yan Xiu bounded off like a deer. Clearly, he was enjoying this a lot…

…

The sky began to darken as the sun set. The forest began to fill with layers of mist, causing the air to feel humid and warm.

Fang Zhengzhi stopped.

Yan Xiu was also slightly wary. The screams and the roars behind them were all but gone. Technically, there was no reason for Fang Zhengzhi to stop.

However, Fang Zhengzhi did stop. As such, Yan Xiu also stopped. He trusted Fang Zhengzhi completely.

“The road ahead is not good!” Fang Zhengzhi said seriously as he looked ahead. There was a faint ray of light up ahead.

“Is there a problem?”

“There is much less beast signature here! Way less than the other places!’

“Because it’s night time?”

“No, there are day hunters, and there are nocturnal hunters!”

“Then what is it?”

“There can only be two reasons for this. The first is that there is a powerful life form up ahead. The second is that no life form dares to enter the area!”

“Which do you think it is?”

“I don’t know, we will only know after we get there.”

“Then let’s go take a look.”

“I think we should take a look from the trees first!” Fang Zhengzhi raised his head as he looked at a huge ancient tree over a meter wide.

“Okay!” Yan Xiu nodded.

Fang Zhengzhi was able to climb trees since young. He had been climbing for so many years that it was almost second nature. As such, he had a much easier time than Yan Xiu.

He reached the top very quickly.

He found a suitably thick branch to stand on. He judged that this height should be sufficient for him to see what was ahead.

Then…

He saw it.

After that, he stepped on air. His legs turned to jelly and he slipped…

…

Fang Zhengzhi was quite a strong and courageous man, but his legs wobbled at what he saw.

This was a parallel dimension, and these dimensions would naturally have some foreign life forms. Fang Zhengzhi was prepared for that. He would not have been scared even if he saw a ferocious beast the size of a hill.

Based on the surprises this world had already given him, he could have accepted something like that.

But…

What if it was human?!

The moon was high up in the air. A lady in a white robe danced gracefully on the surface of the lake. Fang Zhengzhi had always looked forward to seeing such a beautiful scene.

It was alluring.

As long as she was dainty and elegant.

Even a silhouette would be alluring.

Of course, the dancer must be a lady…

If this lady could step on water so calm it could act as a mirror, she would be simply exquisite.

Just try to imagine it…

The moon high up in the sky, a dainty lady dressed in a white robe dancing on the surface of the lake. That beautiful scene was like something created by heaven.

Fang Zhengzhi was looking at this.

But…

This was something in a parallel dimension created by Heaven…

“F*ck me… ghost!”

No matter how thick the branch, Fang Zhengzhi could not balance himself after his legs turned to jelly. As a result, he tumbled towards the ground.
