The spirit boat flew swiftly, reaching the foot of Bear King Mountain that very afternoon.
Stepping off the spirit boat and looking once more at the beautiful, verdant Bear King Mountain, they felt very different from their previous two visits.
In the past, they had lacked the strength to protect it and had come only with the intention of seizing spirit treasures.
This time, however, they intended to turn this place into a second Peach Blossom Mountain. Although they had yet to defeat the demon beasts and occupy it, Liu Changxu and his fellow Liu Household members already regarded it as their territory, so their feelings were naturally very different.
But before the Liu Household Battle Team could act, the Steel-Tusked Boars on the mountain noticed the activity below.
The Steel-Tusked Boars on the mountain let out howls one after another, making the valley hum with the reverberations.
With the rise of a deep, powerful roar, the other Steel-Tusked Boars immediately fell silent.
Then an enormous Steel-Tusked Boar charged down from the summit, closely followed by dozens of smaller ones. They charged so swiftly that they left devastation in their wake, trampling great swathes of precious spirit plants. The sight filled the Liu Household members with heartache.
Rather than wait for the Steel-Tusked Boars to reach the foot of the mountain, Liu Changxu took the Golden Flood Dragon Spear in hand and used Wind Riding to fly toward the second-tier middle-grade Steel-Tusked Boar Prince leading them.
The Steel-Tusked Boar Prince also spotted Liu Changxu flying toward it on the wind. With a low growl, it conjured dozens of sharp steel spikes out of thin air and launched them at him.
Seeing this, Liu Changxu immediately deployed the supreme-grade spirit artifact his master's wife had given him, the Golden Luo Umbrella.
