At the same time, in addition to the taxes they brought, these mayors also brought news that a group of black-thorned wild boars that had turned into monsters appeared in the mountains above the main island. They often gathered to attack the town and destroy the spiritual fields. Several towns were disrupted and suffered heavy losses. The affected towns have united and are preparing to mobilize the power of cultivators to eliminate them.
Unexpectedly, the Black Thorn Wild Boar King turned out to be a monster beast in the late stage of the Mortal Bone Realm. It was unparalleled in strength. It was obviously not something that the cultivators on the island, who were mostly in the Bone Forging Realm, could handle. The final result was that the cultivators were defeated.
So, as a last resort, they had to find Zhou Lei and Kang Tian, the cultivators of the Black Turtle Sword Sect stationed on the island, hoping that they could kill the group of black thorn wild boars and protect the peace of the country.
Protecting the tranquility on the island is also one of the main tasks of the cultivators stationed on the island.
Secondly, as the end of the year is approaching, the part of the red copper ore that Huangdao turns over every year must also seize the time to transport it to Licheng on the outlying island.
For the sake of safety, Zhou Lei can only go there in person. If something goes wrong, then Zhou Lei will have to pay for it himself to fill the gap, let alone the sect's investigation. This is a large batch of tens of thousands of low-grade crystals. Zhou Lei and Kang Tian cannot be careless at all.
There is also a troublesome thing related to the red copper mine. Due to poor management, in addition to the part turned over to the sect, there was a slight surplus in profits this year, but this year it can only break even.
If things continue to be bad like this, Zhou Lei and Kang Tian might have to subsidize it themselves next year to meet the sect's quota.
Fortunately, the Kang family has sent the thirteenth elder Kang Yang and some Kang family children to help deal with these trivial matters.
"Thirteenth Elder Kang Yang has come to summon the messenger. They have arrived in Licheng and are heading here by boat. It's almost time."
"Well, let's destroy the black thorn wild boar group first. When they arrive, we can transport the copper ore to the sect's outlying island and outlying city."
After sorting out the matter roughly, Zhou Lei talked to Kang Tian, and without much delay, he directly summoned the town lords who had been harmed by the black thorn wild boar. And under their leadership, they went to the scourge of the town.
With Zhou Lei's strength in the Bone Realm, he can solve these small things by himself without asking Kang Tian to act together.
As the owner of the island, Zhou Lei's arrival was warmly welcomed by the town residents. These town mayors also held some grand welcome ceremonies ingeniously, such as residents kneeling on the ground and walking in the aisles to welcome him, cheering loudly and so on.
Zhou Lei waved his hand to ask them to leave, and did not stay much in the town. He neatly asked the mayor and others to take him to the scene of the incident to inspect the traces.
After mobilizing manpower and material resources to search several towns, the nest of the black-thorned wild boars was quickly found.
It was located in a relatively hidden mountain col. The black-thorned wild boar king, which was about ten feet tall, slept like a small hill under a huge tree, making a huge snoring sound. Around it, there were three large and small animals. Forty black-thorned wild boars were scattered around and sleeping.
"Island owner, do you need me to lead the others to charge and kill the surrounding black-thorn wild boar guards first?" A mayor cautiously asked Zhang Qingyuan from the surrounding area.
"No need, just stay around and prevent other demon pigs from escaping." Zhou Lei waved his hand and said.
Then, Zhou Lei stepped out in one step, holding the spiritual sword with his feet. The light flashed and his figure rose into the sky.
Sensing the fluctuations in vitality, the black-thorned wild boar guards surrounding them all turned their gazes, kicked the ground uneasily, and roared in low voices.
However, Zhou Lei did not stop at all, and moved forward slowly. A silver light streamed out of the air, and the spiritual sword appeared in his hand.
Finally, a black-thorned wild boar couldn't help it and rushed forward with a roar. The black-thorned wild boars behind them were also led one after another. A dozen black-thorned wild boars charged, the ground shook slightly, and a huge cloud of smoke and dust was thrown up. It looked like an indestructible torrent, rolling in and unstoppable.
The faces of the cultivators on the island who came with Zhou Lei around them changed color with shock and became extremely solemn.
These so-called immortals who accept worship from the people in cities and towns are only at the mid-to-late stage of Bone Forging Realm.
It would be difficult for them to win against any of these black-thorned wild boars. What's more, he charges like this, and the demonic aura rises into the sky.
"Is the island owner being like this a little too much?" Zhou Lei looked at Zhou Lei who showed no fear at all and did not slow down at all, as if he regarded these charging black thorn wild boars as if they were nothing. At this moment, everyone was thinking A thought flashed across my mind.
Although Zhou Lei and Kang Tian have been here for more than half a year, they have taken over the power of the island owner.
But Zhou Lei and Kang Tian didn't like the excitement. They usually lived in seclusion and practiced near Yuanquankou to improve their cultivation and rarely appeared in front of them.
Therefore, the strength of the new island owner is still a mystery, extremely mysterious.
Some people say that those two are disciples of the Black Turtle Sword Sect's inner sect, who were demoted here because of their crimes. After all, the strength of the practitioners who can enter the inner sect must be unfathomable.
Some people also say that the strength of these two new island masters is not as good as that of the previous island master. In order to avoid embarrassment and discredit the inner sect of the Black Turtle Sword Sect, they never take action to show their strength.
Of these two statements, the people on the island are more inclined to the latter.
At this moment, everyone's hearts tightened when they saw Zhou Lei charging straight towards the black-thorned wild boar billowing with demonic aura.
"If the island owner is so brave and ends up dying here, the Black Turtle Sword Sect won't cause trouble for us, right?" For a moment, the cultivators around him were worried.
However, what happened in the next moment almost subverted the imagination of everyone around him.
Zhou Lei's body flashed, and he flashed through the gap between the charging Black Thorn Boar like a phantom. He was so fast that no one around him could catch him.
At the same time, dazzling cold light bloomed, like lightning bursting suddenly in mid-air. The cold sword light intertwined and tore the sky, while bringing up blood-colored ice crystals.
Just a crossover. The dozen or so surging wild boars caused the ground to shake, and the surrounding trees were broken by the trees. All of them collapsed, and their heads fell off their necks!
Hot blood-colored ice crystals sprinkled all over the ground, and the entire earth was dyed red by this blood.
The surrounding cultivators who were originally on tenterhooks all took a breath of cold air at this moment.
They never expected that during the past half year, one of the two island owners, who was vaguely considered to be dim and incompetent, would actually possess such incomparable strength!
With a few movements of his hands, dozens of powerful black-thorned wild boars were killed by him without even a trace of blood foam on his body!
With such terrifying strength, for a moment, all the cultivators around him felt their necks go cold and their feet almost became weak.
For the first time, they felt the terror of one of the new island owners with their own eyes!
