As the Purple Thunder Sr Python ventured deeper, Ethan saw many psychic beasts!


    These beasts'' nests were right in the center of the Silver Iron Forest, in a valley, seemingly serving the king inside.


    Upon entering the valley, a huge pig came into view, resembling more a mammoth!


    It was covered in ck fur, and only its bloated body and pig nose gave away some semnce of a pig. Its four strong legs made one wonder what kind of immense force would be needed to knock it down. Its face was also covered in ck fur, making this massive creature seem like a benevolent old man.


    Only the two sharp, thick tusks protruding from its mouth revealed the Demon King''s edge.


    [Boar Monarch Pete]


    [Demon King of the Silver Iron Forest, also the guardian of the forest''s birds, beasts, flowers, and trees!]


    "Little snake, I know you, the snake from the beast blood fruit tree. Captured by the humans of ckwood, you brought humans into the Silver Iron Forest to hunt psychic beasts."


    The voice of ckwood''s inw was deep and ancient.


    "Sssss~"


    The Purple Thunder Sr Python was clearly terrified of the Boar Monarch Pete, its massive body cowering in extreme fear.


    "Don''t be afraid, you haven''t caused too much ughter. With my warning, you''ve made the ckwood outside the forest restrain themselves, and for that, you have my gratitude."


    Hearing the Boar Monarch Pete''s forgiveness, the Purple Thunder Sr Python finally rxed.


    Ethan watched the exchange between the snake and the pig.


    In truth, he didn''t know what the Purple Thunder Sr Python was saying, but he could guess from the Boar Monarch Pete''s words and was amazed at the Demon King''s wisdom—it was his first time encountering such a being.


    Then, through the conversation between the Purple Thunder Sr Python and the Boar Monarch Pete, Ethan brought up the matter of Mary marrying into ckwood.


    "I am aware of this," the Boar Monarch Pete''s ck fur quivered, and Ethan could swear the creature seemed to smile, "Please thank ckwood for me. They''ve been very kind to my daughter, and her offspring are healthy. If possible, I hope my daughter can bring her spouse and children to visit me."


    "Sssss~"


    The Purple Thunder Sr Python nodded repeatedly.


    Seeing that the Boar Monarch Petehad a favorable impression of ckwood, Ethan also dropped his reservations and shared the news that the seven major families were nning to attack the Silver Iron Forest.


    "Hmph! Greedy and selfish humans!" The Boar Monarch Peteroared in anger. "What''s this about an attack? They''ve been pushing the limits of the Silver Iron Forest time and again, challenging my patience. Let theme; the Silver Iron Forest will be ready for anything!"


    Ethan frowned, continuing tomunicate through the Purple Thunder Sr Python, expressing ckwood''s desire to have the mystical beasts of the Silver Iron Forest avoid the brunt of the conflict.


    But the Boar Monarch Petesighed deeply.


    "Thanks to ckwood for their kindness, but the Silver Iron Forest is not only a habitat for mystical beasts; it is also a sanctuary for trees and purend. It''s said among humans, ''to put down roots,'' and countless mystical abilities have already taken root here. Our lives are intertwined with the Silver Iron Forest."


    "Even during years of severe drought, we have sustained the vitality of the Silver Iron Forest with our lives. Now, facing another drought, everyone in the Silver Iron Forest is prepared to defend thend of myriad mystical abilities with their lives!"


    Ethan also sighed deeply.


    As he sent the Purple Thunder Sr Python back, his face showed a look of admiration.


    Ethan understood that this was not a matter that could be easily persuaded, just like the outside world''s repeated invasions of ckwood. ckwood would also fight to the death for their homnd.


    It wasn''t just about thend; it was about the emotions that generations of families had poured into thisnd. The purest memories, theughter and tears, were something that could never be abandoned.


    "This is something we must help with!"


    Suddenly, Ethan narrowed his eyes. Aside from the Boar Monarch Petebeing a rtive by marriage, he also saw a huge benefit!


    The Boar Monarch Pete''s high regard for ckwood was evident.


    If ckwood helped the Boar Monarch Petethrough this difficult time, then ckwood would essentially have the Boar Monarch Peteas an ally by marriage.


    At the same time.


    The previous problem of not being able to mine deep into the Silver Iron Forest would be resolved, and the Silver Iron Forest would be ckwood''s backyard, which was also more suitable for ckwood''s cultivation of mystical beasts!


    As for the risks?


    "Hahaha, when has ckwood not faced risks over the years?" Nathan said with augh after sharing his ns through the Purple Thunder Sr Python, "The forebearer is right, with so many benefits, how could my ckwood not help our inws?"


    "Thank you, Forebearer, thank you, father!" Mary cried with joy.


    In the days that followed, ckwood was busy dealing with the affairs of the Silver Iron Forest and was also developing vigorously.


    Ethan was also pondering solutions.


    And Julian, that kid, after bing an Emerging Ability, also gave Ethan a bit of a surprise.


    [Your descendant Lucas, after establishing the ck Blood Hall, trained 50 Foundational Energy warriors!]


    [After years of training, they havepletely mastered the ''Spear Forest Formation''!]


    Spear Forest Formation.


    That was the formation used by Garcia during the attack on Forest Town. They held long spears, using the spears as a formation, their mystical abilities connected, possessing great lethal power!


    In one wave.


    Nearly eighty percent of ckwood''s hundred mystical beasts died.


    This shows the formidable power of the spear formation!


    At that moment.


    On the martial arts field of Gratitude Vige, fifty young men dressed in ck iron beast blood suits, all equipped with mystical ability gear including long bows, quivers, long spears, and waist-mounted long knives, were holding long spears and throwing them towards the distance.


    "Whoosh!"


    As the sound of tearing through the air rose, those long spears carrying mystical abilities formed a in the sky!


    "50 people are this powerful?" Ethan slightly opened his mouth in awe, "If it were 500 people, or even 5000, what about Bluefield Taylor..."


    Thinking this, Ethan narrowed his eyes.


    "Bluefield Taylor, huh? You''re asking for it!"


    He suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. Having already dominated Forest Town, dominating another town like Bluefield wasn''t really a big deal.


    If they could swallow the entire Tranquil County, that would be even better.
