Chapter 307: The Oriole Behind
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
Large numbers of elite hunters arrived together and began coordinating, unleashing might which couldn't be underestimated!
The synergy which had been honed through long periods in the wild was displayed perfectly at this moment. Numerous long and thick beast tendons were thrown over the Golden Ban's body, tying it down!
"Hou!"
The powerful Golden Ban's body was like the strongest weapon, bulldozing through all obstacles recklessly!
Meng Ge's entire body seemed to be drenched in blood. His hair had come loose and was floating in the wind, causing him to resemble a crazed demon!
With a loud shout, the huge dark golden staff pierced forward, stabbing fiercely against the Golden Ban's shell. A larger crack appeared on the already damaged shell with this strike!
The Golden Ban was truly frightened by now. Disregarding everything, it tried to rush back into the river!
Meng Ge and the rest would naturally not allow it to escape. A huge cloud of blood and Qi aura surged forth as everyone transformed into small giants, resolutely pulling on the beast tendons around the Golden ban!
Despite that, the massive creature still managed to crawl forward slowly step by step, leaving deep marks in the ground with every step!
Meng Ge was in a battle craze, appearing like a demonic god!
The dark golden staff in his hands trembled lightly, emanating a pressure that seemed as though it wanted to collapse the void. A pitch black light about a dozen meters in size had appeared on the spearhead, fluctuating unstably!
"DIE!"
The Golden Ban had reached within twenty meters of the river by now. At such a distance, it only needed to move its body a little and it would be in the vast river!
Once it was in the water, even if there were ten times more people than now, it would be impossible to catch it!
Just when a look of joy flashed through the Golden Ban's eye, a rigid dark gold spear suddenly flashed through space, stabbing down on it from a long distance away!
"Weng, weng!"
The spear rotated and shot down like a drill, piercing through that seemingly indestructible shell in one strike!
"Pu!"
A light sound followed, like that of a knife stabbing through leather.
"Hou!"
The Golden Ban only had time to shrink its head back into its shell when the spear landed, easily piercing through the shell and into its head!
The Golden Ban was in immense pain. Large amounts of golden blood as well as some gooey substance flowed out from its wound!
The Qi imbued within the spear was ravaging the Golden Ban's brain. At this time, the madly threshing Golden Ban which had lost all consciousness and cognitive abilities was incomparably terrifying!
Its tough and heavy tail created sonic booms as it slapped about through the air. In a few short seconds, a quarter of the elite hunters were either dead or suffered heavy injuries!
The current Golden Ban was struggling madly in its death throes. The beast tendons around it also began to break off one by one!
"Quickly, disperse! This Golden Ban is already on its last breath. There's no way it can live after suffering such a grave injury!" Meng Ge hollered from the back. Thick, steamy breath roiled from his mouth and nose unceasingly, and from the looks of it, his condition was only slightly better than the Golden Ban's!
As though awoken from a dream, the remaining hunters quickly let go of the tendons in their hands and jumped to the side!
Logically, the scenario where these hunters would loose their hold on the prey already at hand was not possible. This Golden Ban was simply too precious and everyone subconsciously wanted to hold onto the restraints no matter what.
At this time, a faint red fishing line descended from the sky, hooking into the Golden Ban's wildly threshing tail!
"Eh? It's a big fellow this time?"
Bei Feng opened his mouth in shock. The 50-meter vision provided by the System was not even able to see the entirety of the creature. The only thing that was visible to him was two incomparably huge legs, seemingly cast out of gold!
A massive weight appeared in his hand, and he could only feel the immense power of this creature in that moment!
The suppressive force from the fishing rod could not even fully immobilize the other party's blood and Qi. Ultimately, the Golden Ban was still stronger as it continued to struggle. However, its body was still rising slowly through the air!
Meng Ge immediately detected that something was not quite right. Casting his gaze over, he could barely make out a thin red line attached to the Golden Ban, slowly pulling it through the air!
In a mere one, two minutes, the Golden Ban had stopped struggling, as though it had died.
Meng Ge's eyes followed the thin line up the sky, his vision piercing into the clear sky. However, he could not see anything strange at all.
"HOW DARING!"
Meng Ge could not be bothered about the origin of the line anymore. The Golden Ban was something that the Cloud Mist Village had sacrificed so many people to kill. Yet there was someone trying to snatch the food from the tiger's mouth?
Hearing the enraged roar from Meng Ge, the others quickly awakened to their senses. Seeing that the Golden Ban had already been lifted about seven, eight meters from the ground, they quickly charged towards it!
"ANG!"
A menacing roar suddenly sounded out, shocking everyone to the core. An immobilizing force gripped the entire area, causing it to seem like time had stopped!
It wasn't clear if it was one second or one minute that went by before everything resumed their movements again!
An even more terrifying thing happened immediately after. Numerous towering three, four meter men suddenly burst apart, exploding into a mess of blood and flesh!
A terrible explosive sound burst out from the heavily injured Meng Ge's body, smashing him heavily into the ruins far away!
At this time, a several hundred meter thick and countless li long gigantic Demonic Beast suddenly rose out of the river!
This Demonic Beast had a strength so lofty it was impossible to grasp. Its entire body emanated an aura that stank of pure savagery, as though it came from the most extreme wilderness!
"Flood Dragon!"
It was not known who shouted this, but everyone's voices were stuck in their throats as their eyes widened with shock. No one dared to make a single sound as terror surged through their hearts.
As for Bei Feng, he was infusing his blood and Qi energy into the line, attempting to comprehend the feeling of refining Qi into a thread. His range of vision provided by the System was too limited, and he was not even aware of what was happening in that moment.
At this time, he was already thinking of how long this beast that he'd caught would be able to last him.
The Flood Dragon's eyes turned crimson as the two cone-shaped horns on its head began to give off powerful energy undulations!
The young future village chief had his eyes widened with fear as massive amounts of blood poured out of his mouth. The old village chief beside him was already dead, with an incomplete corpse.
A jade slip dropped to the ground noiselessly along with the old village chief's death. This was the special communication jade slip which could be used to contact the sect. Unless the village was under the threat of extermination, it would never be used!
The youth crawled forward and fumbled about hazily as he grasped the jade slip in his hands. Amidst a curtain of tears, blood and snot, he made a complex hand seal with his right hand and directed the energy to the jade slip. Immediately after, the jade slip glowed with a faint white light.
"Cloud Mist Village? Do you know the punishment for activating the communication jade slip if the village is not in a life or death situation?"
An aged voice drifted out of the jade slip. From the tone of the speaker, one could hear his obvious arrogance.
"Immortal master, please send help! A four, five hundred meter long Golden Ban had appeared in our village..."
"What did you say?? A four, five hundred meter long Golden Ban? You're not lying to me right?!"
The tone of the aged voice instantly rose a notch. Disbelief and excitement could be heard in his voice.
"Immortal master, it's true! It's really about four to five hundred meters long!" the youth hurriedly said.
"Haha, amazing! What's that Golden Ban doing now? Is it still in your village? Make sure to tie it down! The sect will definitely greatly reward your efforts!"
Man Wulun laughed with glee and said. This was really a huge, unexpected fortune!
"The Golden Ban was eaten..." the youth muttered dumbly as he looked at the gigantic Flood Dragon flying above the water and opening its mouth wide, swallowing the huge Golden Ban in one bite!
"Damnit! Who was it! Who dares to eat the Golden Ban?!"
Man Wulun's face stiffened for a moment before he exploded with rage!
"A Flood Dragon. A really, really huge Flood Dragon! Its body is several hundred meters thick!"
The poor youth started to cry again.
"Are you f*cking with me?! The Cloud Mist Village does not even have a medium-sized river. With that tiny drain you call a river, you're telling me that there's not only a several hundred meter long Golden Ban, there's even a Flood Dragon?!"
Man Wulun cussed with rage. How could a lofty Flood Dragon possibly appear in a random downtrodden mountain drain?!
At this moment, he was quite sure that he was being pranked!
