Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Ha, don’t think you can fool us just because we’re villagers. The world is coming to an end, do you think we don’t have cell phones?
“Absolutely, you should call the governnt to handle our affairs!”
The villagers boasted fearlessly, ignoring everything Du Gang had said.
The village head, being more worldly, had a feeling that these people were not ordinary and tried to pacify with good words: “Ah well, what you said is not entirely accurate. Yes, the country did build the road, but it has long decayed. We villagers pitched in to maintain it…”
“The reason we don’t want you to go is that the bridge is about to collapse.
Please go back the way you ca and find another way around.”
Du Gang and the others frowned again. If this were before the apocalypse, when navigation still worked, they could, of course, detour as they wished.
But now it’s different. Not only is there no cell signal, even the navigation system can’t locate them. If they stray off the course based on a paper map, who knows where they might end up?
Du Gang, being relatively tall, could still see the village’s layout even amid the crowd.
He noticed a large, dark stone at the center of the village. In front of the stone, there were offerings and lit incense candles. With his exceptional vision, he could see that the incense candles were still afla.
It was evident that this stone had been worshipped by villagers not long ago.
“What is that stone in your village?”
Du Gang pointed straight at the center of the village in the distance and asked.
The villagers turned back to look and were imdiately shocked. Although they could not see the centerpiece of the village, they knew it was where their Sky Stone was located. They were astonished by Du Gang’s keen eyesight.
“That is our village’s Sky Stone…”
“It’s nothing!”
Before a villager could finish, he was hastily interrupted by the village chief who quickly explained: “It’s just a decoration in our village…”
“Decoration?”
Du Gang chuckled and responded lightly: “Then how co I see lit candles on
Looking wary, the village chief tried to calm himself and replied: “That’s where we make offerings to our ancestors!”
The other villagers all fell silent, sternly watching Du Gang and the others. The farming tools in their hands gripped tighter.
Anyone who wasn’t blind could sense that sothing was off.
“Du Gang, should we find another route?”
An Ya whispered. She wasn’t worried about their safety, but she was afraid that Du Gang would start a massacre if he transford.
By this ti, Chu Zixuan had finished his investigation. Looking confident, he nodded at Du Gang, indicating that he had figured out the situation. Seeing this, Du Gang smiled, “Are you sure you won’t let us pass?” “You can’t cross!”
“Young man, listen to your uncle’s advice, take the detour!”
Du Gang shook his head and suggested to Chu Zixuan and the others: “Let’s get in the car!”
The villagers breathed a sigh of relief as they got into the car. Du Gang’s muscles were quite intimidating, and they genuinely did not want any conflict.
The bridgehead was blocked by sandbags. As far as the villagers were concerned, when Du Gang and his group got into the car, they were preparing to turn around.
However, the next mont, sothing shocking happened.
Du Gang, who was standing perfectly fine, suddenly grew tall, reaching over five ters in height. With one hand covering his groin and the other holding the car, he jumped on the spot. With a “swoosh!” sound, both he and the car leapt over the bridgehead. He jumped so high and far that he crossed the bridge and landed directly on the other side.
“Holy shit
All the villagers were stunned, watching in a daze where Du Gang had jumped.
The education they received from childhood made it impossible for them to imagine a normal person suddenly growing over five ters and jumping away with a car…
“What was that thing?”
“How did it get so big?!!”
So villagers started to panic, their faces full of fear.
“Was he a monster?”
“Now that he’s crossed the bridge, will he disrupt the magnetic field of the Sky Stone?”
The villagers were buzzing with various speculations.
The village chief was initially stunned, but when he heard soone ntion the Sky Stone, he imdiately ca round.
He sternly rebuked: “That must have been the Giant Spirit God, the guardian of South Heaven’s Gate. After finding the Sky Stone, he wanted to greet him. Now, he has greeted him and just left straight away!”
As soon as he said this, the villagers, who were on the verge of collapse, imdiately heaved a sigh of relief. Regardless of whether it was true, they all chid, “That’s it! No wonder the Sky Stone is so mighty. Even the Giant Spirit God is not scary to it!”
“Absolutely, the Sky Stone is one of the Nine Heaven Divine Stones used by Nuwa to nd the sky…”
“But that Giant Spirit God. After transforming, his butt was exposed…”
“Shut up! Do not disrespect the Giant Spirit God!”
Seeing that the villagers were steering the topic toward vulgarities, the village chief quickly put an end to it.
Not to ntion the moral issue at hand, even their disrespectful talk about the Giant Spirit God being overheard was a serious matter.
After being warned by the village chief, the villagers beca sowhat more solemn. No one discussed the naked form of Du Gang after his transformation. Instead, they started talking about Sky Stone’s greatness.
“Thanks to the Sky Stone, we have managed to survive…”
After Du Gang took the car across the bridge, he quickly returned to his normal size and hastily jumped back into the car.
Now, he faces a quite helpless problem. Each ti he transforms, he ends up naked…
Back when he was in school, after transforming, he could still fit into his school uniform trousers, but ever since evolving, no outfit can accommodate him now.
Once inside the car, he quickly used his backpack to cover his lower body.
anwhile, An Ya, who was driving, was blushing. She had seen it all when Du Gang transford…
“An Ya, you didn’t see anything, did you?” Du Gang asked reflexly.
“No! I didn’t see anything!”
An Ya didn’t hesitate at all and flatly denied before putting her foot down on the accelerator and driving off.
anwhile, Du Gang swiftly put on a pair of pants, breathed a sigh of relief, and turned to ask, “Chu Zixuan, what did you find?”
“I scanned the entire village and found sothing that I couldn’t penetrate with my ntal power!”
A faint smile appeared on Chu Zixuan’s face. He continued: “Ever since I’ve awakened, besides the crystals inside the insect creatures, there’s nothing that can resist my scanning… Right in the center of their village, there’s a big stone. You saw it, right?”
“I saw it!”
“In the center of that big stone, there’s a tiny stone about the size of a fingernail that I can’t scan through… At the sa ti, I noticed that there are no insect creatures in a very large area around that stone!” Everyone frowned, a vague idea forming in their minds. “I suspect that stone can isolate the insect creatures….”
