Sifermo's strength was Upper Sequence, and although there were many monsters before him, very few had even reached Disaster level, let alone compared to Sifermo.
Moreover, this spider was enormous, and its visual pressure was far greater than that of these rabble.
It was no wonder Sifermo was so angry. The others were far away and naturally weren't affected by the hot excrement, but it had exploded right in front of Sifermo's face. Although he had blocked most of it, some still splattered onto his body.
His compound eyes rapidly scanned all the monsters, analyzing each one's expression and movements. Based on scent and traces, he quickly identified four or five small monsters about a meter tall.
These little monsters were not old and had not fully transformed into human form. Some had snake scales, and others had large, furry faces.
They had been hiding behind the adults, looking flustered, and smelled of excrement.
"Is it you... I don't want to harm the innocent, come out!"
Several silk threads shot out from Sifermo's abdomen, attempting to drag the children hiding behind them, but they were blocked by the adults working together.
"Stop, monster. This is not a place for you to run wild. Our flesh doesn't taste good either."
"Bah! Who wants to eat your flesh? These bratty kids threw... Anyway, I just want to teach them a lesson. For every one they throw at me, I'll smear them with it."
A plump auntie with yellow hair said, "You're such a big spider, why bother with a child? We'll educate him properly when we get back."
"If you could educate them, why would they attack me for no reason? I'll teach them a lesson myself." Sifermo's massive body moved towards them, causing their expressions to become tense.
Sifermo was actually a very calm detective, capable of calm thinking to break through a situation even when a butcher knife was near his lower abdomen.
However, besides being directionally challenged, he had another quirk: he detested bratty children.
Since elementary school, Sifermo had an intelligence far surpassing his peers, and from that time on, he began to dislike bratty children.
Therefore, being hit with hot excrement this time directly ignited his temper, and he was determined to get an explanation.
The villagers chattered and criticized Sifermo, but he pressed forward step by step.
He would not be morally blackmailed by these people. He insisted on settling the score with the children. If the adults protected them, he would beat the adults as well. But just as he was about to charge into the crowd, he suddenly stopped.
Five elders with different appearances walked together from the village. All the villagers cleared a path for the five of them.
One of the elders walked to the edge of the village and erected a sign.
The sign bore six large characters: 'Five Immortal Village Autonomous Region'. Below these characters was a line of smaller text, imbued with potent sword intent, which everyone could perceive as the work of Xun Ying.
As the sign was erected, a clear sword mark appeared at the edge of the village, encircling the entire settlement. This sword mark itself possessed no power, but it represented the will of Xun Ying, the sole Punisher of the Huafu Grand Area!
Moreover, these five newly appeared elders were not on the same level as the other little monsters. They were Grandpa Hu, the handsome old man; Grandpa Huang, the old man with yellow hair; Third Aunt Bai, the white-skinned old woman; Fourth Master Liu, the gaunt old man with sinister eyes; and finally, Fifth Master Hui, the shifty-eyed man.

Among them, Grandpa Hu and Grandpa Huang were both Upper Sequence. Grandpa Hu was significantly stronger than Sifermo, while Grandpa Huang's aura was similar to his. The other three were all Middle Sequence in strength.
Grandpa Hu stepped forward and said, "This is Five Immortal Village. Twelve years ago, our village greatly assisted the Hunter Association, so Immortal Xun wrote this sign for us."
"He said that as long as we stayed within Five Immortal Village and did not commit any misdeeds, the Hunter Association would not bother us and would let us live our lives."
"You should all be members of the Hunter Association. We have always respected the association, so let's talk things through properly and not let a small matter ruin our harmony."
Sifermo looked at the five elders and then at the sign, his attitude softening slightly.
The existence of Five Immortal Village was not a secret within the Huafu Hunter Association.
In the past, in Huafu's Baima Mountain Province, there was a custom of worshipping 'Home Guardians.' These Home Guardians were actually five monster tribes residing in Baima Mountain Province.
The five monster tribes were the Fox Demon Tribe, the Yellow Demon Tribe, the White Demon Tribe, the Snake Demon Tribe, and the Rat Demon Tribe.
Due to the worship of the local people, these five demon tribes gradually grew stronger and became arrogant, developing into five large tribes.
Some not only failed to protect and provide for the humans who worshipped them but even began to wreak havoc.
First, they stole and ate domestic animals like chickens, ducks, and geese, then they started harming people, and finally, even demon cities appeared, where humans were herded like livestock.
Such behavior naturally attracted the attention of the Hunter Association. Because the number of these monsters was so great, Xun Ying personally took action.
He exterminated all the monsters who were openly committing crimes, but some monsters still went underground. Even with Xun Ying's immense power, he couldn't apprehend all of them in a single province.
At this point, Grandpa Hu stepped forward, assisting Xun Ying in locating the monsters' strongholds, ultimately resolving the issue of the so-called 'Home Guardians.'
Then, Grandpa Hu, along with the portions of the five demon tribes that were friendly to humans, retreated into the 'Five Immortal Pond' to live in seclusion.
Therefore, Xun Ying drew a sign to ensure that these people would not be bothered by the Hunter Association.
It was precisely because of this history that Sifermo's attitude calmed down. Otherwise, even if he couldn't deal with those bratty kids at the moment, he would have found a way to make them pay.
Grandpa Hu breathed a sigh of relief. Although they had something like a 'death-exempt golden token,' they did not wish to come into conflict with anyone from the Hunter Association.
After all, this sanctuary was granted by the Hunter Association, and the Hunter Association could reclaim it at any time.
Thus, he looked at the bratty kid, intending to order him to apologize to Sifermo. However, Sifermo extended his hand to Grandpa Hu, signaling him not to force the child.
Although Sifermo's attitude had softened, he didn't want an apology under duress; he wanted the bratty kid to apologize sincerely.
"You must have heard. As long as you apologize, this matter will be over."
But the reason bratty kids become bratty kids is entirely due to the existence of bratty parents.
By now, those little brats were close to wetting themselves. If their parents were willing to let them apologize, it would be as simple as a word.
However, a plump auntie fiercely protected her child and began to curse Sifermo loudly.
