Such a huge Golden Ban was no longer food that could be killed by anyone. It was a Super Demonic Beast!

"No!"

The t.i.tanic Golden Ban moved extremely quickly. In an instant, it appeared at the back of the last person. A huge claw slammed down towards the over three-meter-tall stalwart man!

The man only had the chance to let out a loud roar as he flung Yun Dou"er to the front! At the same time, the huge claw smashed into the ground, causing a huge tremor to ripple through the ground!

"My G.o.d! What a huge Golden Ban!"

The other men from the village had also arrived at the village gate with weapons in their hands.

The first thing they saw was a t.i.tanic Golden Ban charging towards their village!

"The G.o.d of Fortune has arrived! Quick! Inform the people from the hunting teams to rush over here!" a middle-aged man exuding a domineering aura commanded with agitation.

"Understood! Zhao Dazhu, come with me!"

The man standing behind also revealed a heated gaze. Hurriedly pointing out a few other men, he led the way and ran in the direction of the deep mountain!

Such a huge Golden Ban had a value that was impossible to estimate!

It was unclear how many thousands of years this Golden Ban had lived for. Given its size and the obvious nutritional value of its body, they would definitely be able to sell it for a heaven-defying price!

At that time, the fate of the entire village would change, allowing all of them to turn from chickens into phoenixes, rising into the sky!

An over-five-meter-tall white-haired old man slowly walked to the village gate under the a.s.sistance of a few young men. His eyes were opened wide in shock as he looked at the scene before him.

"Excellent! The G.o.ds really took pity on my Cloud Mist Village!"

The old man was so agitated that his body began to shake visibly. Tears even appeared in his eyes as he laughed.

The old man"s blood and Qi was in an obvious state of decline, but he also towered over the rest of the people in the village, causing him to stand out like a crane amidst a flock of chickens. Everyone appeared to be exceptionally respectful to this old man.

The selection for the position of village chief was based firstly on height, followed by ability, and then cultivation!

In other words, if one was tall, then as long as they had decent ability, even if they were useless in cultivation, obtaining the position of village chief would still likely be a certainty!

At this time, a large group of muscular mini-giants were charging towards the Golden Ban with menacing weapons in their hands. Each of those weapons weighed several tens of thousand jin!

A few of the stronger men were even carrying weapons weighing several hundred thousand jin! The blood and Qi aura of their powerful physiques rose impressively into the sky!

With a loud roar, the three-meter bodies of those men ballooned upwards, turning them into seven, eight meter tall t.i.tans! Rich blood and Qi auras permeated the air, visible to the naked eye!

At their current state, these people"s blood and Qi were exceptionally strong, not paling in comparison to Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts!

"Dang!"

A muscular man with an aura equivalent to a Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert raised his staff made of Demonic Cloud Iron and smashed it ruthlessly onto the Golden Ban"s head!

This strike was incomparably ferocious, to a point that even a small hill would be easily flattened! The Golden Ban"s body sunk and smashed heavily into the ground as a fifty-meter-wide pit appeared around it!

But the Golden Ban only shook its head lightly before jumping out of the pit again!

"Hou!"

The Golden Ban was enraged this time. With a roar of displeasure, it sent a claw slapping towards the little bugs buzzing about its feet!

"Bam, bam!"

The Golden Ban"s speed was not slow at all Numerous people did not manage to react and dodge in time!

About a dozen blood flowers bloomed in midair, as though they were painted by the monster"s slap.

"Pu!"

Only the Controlled Dan Heavenly Expert with the staff managed to keep his life. The Demonic Cloud Iron staff managed to block the attack in time, but his body still shot out like a cannon ball, smas.h.i.+ng brutally into a house several hundred meters away. The entire house was crushed into rubble, and a plume of dust burst into the sky. Blood rained from the sky along with his descent.

The Demonic Cloud Iron staff which landed nearby was bent at an extremely awkward angle, nearly broken in two!

"Village Chief, you need to leave quickly! This Golden Ban is too ferocious. We can only wait for the hunting team to come back before we can suppress it!"

The other men took one look and knew that the situation was dire. The few hundred of them surrounded the Golden Ban and launched attacks at it. Among them, there were at least twenty to thirty Controlled Dan Heavenly Experts. But they were unable to stop the Golden Ban at all!

If they couldn"t break the defense of the opponent, charging headlong at it was the same as looking for death. In contrast, every time the Golden Ban made a move, there would be numerous people dying under its claws!

"Evacuate all the women, the old, and the young immediately!"

A loud roar suddenly sounded over the village!

The people in the village had heard the commotion long ago, as well as the enraged roars of the men. At that instant, they already realized that the situation was dire. The moment the voice sounded over the village, they immediately grabbed all their valuables and fled!

"Hou!"

With none able to obstruct the Golden Ban, its speed was exceptionally terrifying. Not bothering to care about the little ants fleeing under its feet, the Golden Ban waltzed into the village. With a delighted roar, it looked in a certain direction and dashed over.

The houses made of st.u.r.dy black stones and wood from the trunks of mighty trees were destroyed with ease.

"d.a.m.n it! The village"s granary is right ahead! Stop it!"

The tall village chief slammed his black gold walking stick and spat with rage. The granary contained the entire year"s worth of food for the whole village!

"Village Chief, please calm your anger. Isn"t it just some food? If it"s destroyed, it"s destroyed. Right now, we cannot afford to anger this Golden Ban. When our hunting team returns and slays this creature, it wouldn"t matter even if it thrashed the entire village!" a four-meter-tall young man said. This young man had always been groomed as the future village chief. He"d been following beside the old man for a long time, and this time, he instead stood out and advised the old man when he heard that the Village Chief wanted to bar the Golden Ban"s path.

"What joke is this? That Golden Ban is so powerful. If the Village Chief continued to aggravate it, who knows how many people would die! That old fellow must be going senile in his old age," the young man scolded inwardly.

"Ai, how much longer will the hunting team take to come back?!"

The old Village Chief seemed to have thought things through and gave up trying to stop the Golden Ban.

"They would probably still need another four to six hours."

The person who replied felt a hint of trepidation in his heart. The place the group had went to hunt this time was a little distant. On top of that, the people that went to look for the hunting team needed time to reach that location, and adding on the return trip, the fastest they could return would still take at least four to six hours!

"I hope they can make it in time."

The old Village Chief also knew that the distance was extremely far. Right now, they could only pray that the Golden Ban would not depart so quickly.

If there was a need to, they would spare no cost to tie it down!

In the heart of the village, a tall round pillar-shaped building stood, towering into the sky!

The rations in this building were not gathered by the Cloud Mist Village. The grains were all provided by the experts of the hegemonic sect ruling over the area. The villagers were tasked with taking care of and farming the grains. In return, they would receive the protection of the sect.

Every village had a transmission jade slip which they could use to contact the sect for help. In at most an hour, the experts from the sect would arrive at the village!

But this time, the situation was obviously different. If they contacted the sect for help, this Golden Ban would have nothing to do with them anymore. Thus, the Village Chief was unwilling to use the jade slip.

Right now, even if the entire granary was destroyed, it would not mean much. As long as they could hand over the Golden Ban to the sect after slaying it without the help of the latter, it would be a small matter to receive huge amounts of resources and battle techniques! There might even be slots opened to them for their geniuses to enter the sect for cultivation!
