Fang Zhengzhi did not like to waste.
He always felt that even a small nail must have a special mission. If he just casually threw a few nails into the bushes, it would be too petty.
He remembered a classic example recorded in an ancient book in his previous life.
Han Xin joined Xiang Yu's army.
Xiang Yu had once set up an ambush for the Qin army. Xiang Yu had the advantage of being in a natural location, so he wanted to attack with fire. Han Xin also wanted to attack with fire.
The difference was that Xiang Yu used fire arrows to attack directly, while Han Xin poured oil first and then used fire arrows to attack.
Finally, there was no need to mention the damage dealt between the two.
Throwing nails was the same. If it was in the bushes, it had to be green. If it was in the sand, it had to be yellow. If it was at night, it had to be black...
Otherwise, it would be a waste.
Yan Xiu looked at the colorful nails in Fang Zhengzhi's hands, then turned to look at the road behind him. His eyes glimmered.
"You want to try?"
"Mm."
"If you want to throw nails on the road, the best way is to throw a few in the middle of the road for them to see. Then, throw some into the bushes by the side of the road..."
"Okay!" Yan Xiu's eyes lit up when he heard this.
Fang Zhengzhi smiled. He had a say in things like setting traps and throwing nails. Ever since he was seven years old, he had been setting traps for eight years.
After focusing on traps for eight years, this could really be considered a professional.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi taught Yan Xiu some other traps. For example, he taught him how to use the distance between two trees to obstruct his line of sight. He also taught him how to throw a stone so that his opponent would take a detour.
Of course...
Everything was for the result.
The result was naturally how to give full play to Nail's spirit.
...
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu did not leave in a hurry. They did not feel like they were running for their lives. Yan Xiu listened very seriously, just like a good student. Fang Zhengzhi, on the other hand, spoke very enthusiastically.
He had always thought that Yan Xiu was the one teaching him about cultivation. Now, it was his turn. He was naturally excited...
After Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu left.
Lu Yusheng had finally arrived. He was filled with rage and a domineering aura. Then, he saw the nail that Yan Xiu had thrown in the middle of the road.
"This again? I won't fall for it! "Lu Yusheng snorted. He turned around and shouted at the young men behind him, "Open your eyes wide and look at the nails on the road, you bunch of idiots!"
With that, Lu Yusheng went to the bushes at the side.
Then …
Nothing happened.
Lu Yusheng's heart relaxed. He felt that it was time to avenge the humiliation just now. Hence, he decided to let the youths behind him know how smart he was.
"Follow me from the side! Hurry up, I must kill Fang Zhengzhi today! "
And then …
"Aiyo, my... mum... mum... ah!" Lu Yusheng's pitiful voice rang out once again, his face contorted, "Fang Zhengzhi. I won't let you off! "
...
Fang Zhengzhi was leisurely explaining the traps to Yan Xiu when he heard the scream behind him. As such, he felt that he had been wronged.
Because, the person who threw the nails was obviously Yan Xiu.
Yan Xiu did not feel that Lu Yusheng was wrong.
After all, the person who brought the nails in was Fang Zhengzhi. He was only responsible for throwing them.
The two pure people looked at each other as they walked, and then nodded to each other in a very pure manner. Fang Zhengzhi meant that he had done well.
Yan Xiu meant that he had done well.
Since the spirit of throwing the nails was almost at its limit, Fang Zhengzhi decided to teach Yan Xiu about the techniques of using local materials.
For example, what kind of tree branches could be used to make a sharp "wooden spear". Where should the mechanism of the wooden spear be hidden so that it could hit its prey.
These were the basics of hunting in the mountains. However, Fang Zhengzhi had modified them. The lethality and hit rate were just slightly higher than before.
Yan Xiu listened attentively. Then, Fang Zhengzhi gave Yan Xiu a few demonstrations.
Then, Fang Zhengzhi indicated that Yan Xiu could try it himself.
New things always attracted people's curiosity. Yan Xiu was born into an aristocratic family. His knowledge of the jungle in the mountains was indeed very little.
As such, Yan Xiu was very enthusiastic when he tried.
Unknowingly...
He left behind a messy trail of all sorts of traps. There were about 20 to 30 of them, but none of them were the same.
...
Lu Yusheng finally gave up on the idea of walking in front. This had something to do with the shock he had suffered. Of course, there was another more important reason. This was a parallel world.
Every parallel world was a complete world.
There were seasons, trees, flowers, rivers, and mountains. Naturally, there were life forms, unknown life forms...
Anything, once the word "unknown" was added, would more or less have a hint of danger in it. Lu Yusheng clearly felt this, so he chose to make the danger more controllable.
An unlucky young man dressed in black was pushed to the very front. He was a genius of his generation, having reached the late stage of Star Condensation at the age of twenty-two. He also had a place on the Proclamation of Dragon Rising, even though he was ranked eighty-ninth.
However, this did not mean that he was not a genius.
It was a pity that he was not a disciple of the 13 constabularies.
As such, he could only walk in front...
It sounded a little domineering, but he had to admit that this was reality.
...
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu walked side by side in the forest. He knew that Lu Yusheng and the rest were behind them. Every once in a while, he would hear sounds coming from behind.
These sounds were very pitiful. It was hard not to hear them.
Fang Zhengzhi understood Lu Yusheng's feelings. If he could, Lu Yusheng would definitely choose another path. After all, there were many paths in the forest.
However... He could not.
If he wanted to catch up to Fang Zhengzhi, he had to make him suffer ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times. As such, he could only follow Fang Zhengzhi's path.
Fang Zhengzhi knew this. As such, he felt that if he wanted Lu Yusheng to follow, he had to make him suffer more. Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times.
That was the only way for him to follow...
Of course, this was not enough. After a person had suffered too much pain, they would retreat. In order to prevent Lu Yusheng and the rest from retreating...
Fang Zhengzhi would always change his path according to the direction of the sounds. He would also leave some marks so that Lu Yusheng and the rest would know where he was going.
Sometimes, in order to ensure that Lu Yusheng and the rest followed closely, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu would stop every few days to rest, drink some water, and eat some rations.
As to why Lu Yusheng had to follow, and not too far away...
There was a lot of knowledge behind this.
Within the forest... There were many dangers. The unknown lifeforms could be clearly felt. As such, someone had to make a sacrifice. Fang Zhengzhi had always believed that the more powerful one was, the greater the responsibility.
Lu Yusheng was very powerful. As such, he had to bear this responsibility.
When the two groups advanced one after the other, one group would let out a few screams from time to time, their bodies more or less stained with the smell of blood.
As such, it was easy to determine the target of the unknown lifeforms.
Perhaps this was the so-called teamwork!
...
Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu walked slower and slower. Lu Yusheng and the rest walked slower and slower. Other than being careful of the traps, they also had to bear some responsibilities.
For example, the attacks of the beasts...
"They're fighting again?" Fang Zhengzhi heard the sounds of fighting and the roars of the beasts behind him. He imagined the beautiful yet bloody scene.
"I think so. Let's wait for them!"
"Okay!"
"Isn't that too cruel?"
"I sympathize with them, but Chi Hou said that teamwork is important. As such, I feel helpless..."
"You are right. I will go make a few more traps!" After Yan Xiu finished speaking, he hopped away like a little deer. Evidently, this was something that made him very happy ….
...
The sky began to darken. As the sun set, layers of mist began to appear in the forest, causing the air to feel stuffy.
Fang Zhengzhi stopped.
Yan Xiu was confused. There were no screams or roars behind him. Logically speaking, Fang Zhengzhi should not have stopped.
However, Fang Zhengzhi stopped. Yan Xiu stopped as well. He trusted Fang Zhengzhi.
"It will not be easy to walk ahead!" Fang Zhengzhi looked in front of him seriously. Not far away, there was a glimmer of light. The glimmer of light was very faint, but it was very penetrating.
"Is there a problem?"
"There are very few roars here, far fewer than anywhere else!"
"Because it is already night time?"
"No, there are beasts that hunt during the day, and there are also beasts that hunt at night!"
"Then what is the reason?"
"There are only two reasons. One is that there is a very strong life ahead, the other is that other life forms do not dare to enter!"
"Which do you think it is?"
"I don't know. We will only know after we see it."
"Then let's go take a look."
"I think it'll be safer to take a look from a tree!" Fang Zhengzhi raised his head and looked at a huge ancient tree that was more than a meter thick.
"Okay!" Yan Xiu nodded.
Fang Zhengzhi had been climbing trees since he was young. Some things had nothing to do with power. Practice made perfect. As such, he climbed faster than Yan Xiu.
Very quickly, he reached the top of the tree.
He found a thick enough branch to stand on and felt the height. He felt that he could almost see what was in front of him.
Then...
He looked.
Then, his foot stepped on empty air. That was because his foot had gone soft and slipped …
...
Fang Zhengzhi was mentally strong. At the very least, he was stronger than most people. However, his legs were still weak.
This was the parallel world. There were many unknown life forms. Fang Zhengzhi was prepared for this. He felt that even a beast the size of a small mountain was not scary.
Based on the surprises he had received from this world, this was not something he could not accept.
But...
What if it was a human?!
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the white clothes fluttered in the wind. Dancing under the moonlight, it was even more delicate and gentle. Fang Zhengzhi always thought that this scene was definitely a paradise on earth, and he was looking forward to seeing such a scene.
It was mesmerizing.
As long as the figure was petite, as long as the dance was graceful.
Even if it was just a shadow, it would be mesmerizing.
Of course, the dancer had to be a lady...
If this woman could step on a mirror-like surface of the lake, she would definitely be in a state of absolute beauty.
Think about it...
The bright moon hung high in the sky, and a woman with an exquisite figure and white clothes fluttered in the wind as she danced gracefully on the surface of the lake. How ethereal was that beautiful scene?
That was what Fang Zhengzhi was witnessing.
But...
This scene appeared in a parallel world created by the Heavenly Dao...
"Damn... ghost!"
