Chapter 664 - 270: Occupation!
Morning.
A faint mist enveloped the Great Mountain, like a thin white veil, obscuring the view.
Beneath the mountain, in the Great Wilderness Border Village, the mist from the mountain was like wisps of smoke, gradually dispersing over the village, making the already dim view more obscured from the horizon where the sun had just risen.
At the same time.
A group of nearly thirty people gathered at the entrance of the Great Wilderness Border Village.
Among them, almost twenty were muscular and fierce-looking, their faces showing exhaustion between their brows.
The rest were disheveled, with deep tear stains at the corners of their eyes and red slap marks on their cheeks.
At the forefront stood a man nearly two meters tall, with explosive muscles and a body covered in thick hair, resembling an ape.
This man was King Mountain, standing at the village entrance like a mountain of flesh blocking the way.
"Brother Wang, why has the mist in the Great Wilderness Border Village suddenly increased? I remember it wasn’t like this before!"
The man beside King Mountain, skinny with cunning eyes, asked in confusion.
Although they were almost a hundred miles away from the village before and wouldn’t come without special reasons, curiosity got the better of them, so they followed the villagers to see the most luxurious village in the mountain.
King Mountain grinned mysteriously, "Isn’t this great!!"
"Why is that, Brother Wang?" the skinny man asked, puzzled.
King Mountain said, "The Great Wilderness Border Village never had this much mist before. Now covering the whole village, doesn’t it mean that Xu Binghu, who lives by hunting, is really trapped in the mountains and can’t get out?!"
They dared to come grandly to the village this time because they knew about Xu Binghu’s disappearance.
"Yes, Brother Wang is right!"
As they spoke, the distant sun gradually rose, sunlight penetrated into the village, and the mist enveloping the village slowly dissipated, like darkness being driven away.
In no time, a luxurious village appeared before their eyes.
Above them were four large marble characters for "Great Wilderness Border Village," with marble columns flanking them.
In the village, a notable three-story tall building stood, decorated with vivid relief sculptures, appearing extremely prestigious in sunshine.
"Wow! This Great Wilderness Border Village is indeed the most luxurious village in the mountain. I wonder how much this decoration cost! Especially that tallest building, wow!!"
The skinny man beside King Mountain gazed at the scene with shining eyes, as if it were a paradise.
Not only him, but everyone behind was also wide-eyed at the scene, shattering their worldview, and even the disheveled women seemed to have forgotten their pain in this moment.
King Mountain, momentarily stunned by the village’s luxury, quickly showed a greedy look, spitting on the ground.
"This village is indeed luxurious, no wonder all the women want to marry here!!"
Then, the tone shifted.
"But! Such a village will soon be ours!" he said, pointing to the tallest building, "I want that house!!"
No sooner had the words fallen than several people strolled toward them. Though bearing injuries, their aura showed no fear.
When they stood before King Mountain, momentarily stunned by his massive presence, they quickly regained their composure.
"Who are you? Why come to our Great Wilderness Border Village so early?" asked the Guard Team of the village.
Yesterday, they entered the Great Mountain to find Xu Binghu but were injured by unknown Demon Beasts in the mist. If not for Xu Ran treating them last night, they wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed now.
Despite their injuries, being the Guard Team meant they had undergone the Second Body Refining, with strength up to 1,100 pounds, fearing no one except Xu Family.
Before King Mountain could speak, the skinny man beside him, sharp-faced, stepped forward, "How dare you talk to Brother Wang like that? Show some respect!!"
These words immediately changed the expressions of the Guard Team. Since undergoing Body Refining, no one had ever dared speak to them like that, not even the Xu Family, let alone a frail man.
Just after speaking, King Mountain pulled the skinny man back, saying, "Skinny Monkey, how can you speak to our future fellow villagers like that?"
The Guard Team instantly sensed something was off, frowning, "Our Great Wilderness Border Village doesn’t easily accept outsiders to live permanently, you all should go back!"
They were joking. Now that the village had become everyone’s dream village, how could a few words allow permanent residence?
"Ha!" King Mountain chuckled, "I’m not negotiating with you, I’m informing you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, King Mountain’s expression turned cold, and the surrounding temperature seemed to drop, while an incredibly heavy pressure appeared on the Guard Team.
