Chapter 1001: You go ahead then

Hearing the Demon Gods' good idea, Bo Bo Ke's face immediately darkened.

"Are you guys brain-damaged? We've already poured countless resources into five Demon Caves and gotten nothing—do you really want to dig another one?"

Immediately, Bo Bo Ke spoke up to stop them, but the other Demon Gods completely ignored his words.

Now Bo Bo Ke's tactics are useless, and the Demon Gods' attitude toward him has taken a sharp turn for the worse—some even openly mocked him.

"Hoohoo... (Bo Bo Ke, do you even have a say here?)"

"Ho............ (You............)"

Everything seemed to have returned to normal, but for the sake of the Demon Race, Bo Bo Ke still swallowed his anger and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"Hoohoo............ (This plan definitely won't work—think about it, we already have five Demon Caves, and what's the result? This isn't something that can be solved by digging a few more.)"

These Demon Gods oversimplify everything—now we keep losing to the Humans, and you think digging a few more Demon Caves will fix it? It's outright absurd.

But the other Demon Gods clearly don't care about Bo Bo Ke's attitude, as one of them snorted coldly.

"Ho............ (Bo Bo Ke, don't worry about these things.)"

"Ho............ (Exactly—now the Humans merely know where the Demon Caves are and can set up ambushes; if we surprise them with a new one, we'll surely catch them off guard.)"

Seeing the Demon Gods relentlessly pushing their advice, Bo Bo Ke felt his teeth about to shatter, but he also knew that alone he could change nothing.

Suppressing the anger in his chest, Bo Bo Ke asked in a low voice.

"Ho............ (So where do you plan to put this new Demon Cave?)"

Building a Demon Cave can determine a rough area; although it can't be precise, it's close enough.

Since there's no way to change the Demon Gods' decision, Bo Bo Ke could only settle for second best, trying to pick the Demon Cave's location as well as possible, which might actually yield some surprise effect.

But the next second, upon hearing the Demon Gods' reply, Bo Bo Ke froze, his scalp tingling.

"Ho............ (Heh, I've already figured that out—I'll put it at Tianhong Guan; the Humans will never think of that.)"

"Ho............ (This plan is excellent.)"

"Hoohoho.......... (Good, good, good—this will definitely work as a surprise.)"

Upon hearing that, many Demon Gods nodded in agreement, while Bo Bo Ke stood there with a black line on his head, stunned as if struck by lightning.

Huh???

What place did these guys just say they wanted to put the Demon Cave?

Are these bastards crazy? And they still say this plan is great—how is this any different from delivering it straight into their mouths?

Bo Bo Ke felt that every one of these Demon Gods in front of him had water in their brains.

"How could anyone come up with such a stupid plan?"

And yet, so many people support it.

"Ho............ (Are you crazy? Can't you see there's a problem here?)"

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Bo Bo Ke shouted furiously, but the Demon Gods responded with merciless rebuttals.

"Ho............ (Bo Bo Ke, watch your tone.)"

"Hoohoo........... (Exactly—where do you get the right to speak here?)"

"Hoohoo........... (There's a problem, of course there is—I've long seen that you're the problem, Bo Bo Ke; if it weren't for your incompetence, how could our Demon Race suffer such huge losses?)"

Faced with the Demon Gods' angry shouts, Bo Bo Ke was so angry he laughed.

"Did I cause the Demon Race such huge losses?"

"What do my past failures have to do with me, Bo Bo Ke? As for later, although their method was cracked by the Humans, didn't we gain any advantage beforehand?"

"To put it bluntly, the few small gains the Demon Race has made—aren't they thanks to Bo Bo Ke's efforts?"

"Besides, the losses Bo Bo Ke caused are probably just a drop in the bucket compared to the Demon Race's total losses."

"But now, these bastards are pushing all the blame onto me, and Bo Bo Ke feels a furious, bitter laugh rising."

"Hoohoo........... (Fine, fine—if that's how it is, then I wish you success.)"

Having said that, Bo Bo Ke turned and walked away.

A bunch of idiots—immature youths not worth consulting.

But Bo Bo Ke also knows he should make some preparations—at least leave the Demon Race a sliver of hope.

Bo Bo Ke couldn't sway the Demon Gods' decision, and after he left, many of them sneered and then began working on building a new Demon Cave.

As for the location, it was naturally the previously decided Tianhong Guan.

The Demon Gods think simply—hadn't we suffered defeat after defeat in front of Tianhong Guan, with even the vanguard annihilated by the Humans, leaving only a tiny remnant to flee back?

Since Tianhong Guan is so sturdy, easy to defend but hard to attack, why not just bypass it this time? Wouldn't that work?

The idea is not bad—it's like a dream.

Following the Demon Gods' decision, the Demon Race again poured countless resources into constructing a new Demon Cave.

Within the Haotu World, everything soon grew calm again; the Demon Race's side fell silent, and the five great Demon Caves seemed to have been forgotten.

"Damn it, what's up with these food supplies again?"

"I don't know—it's been half a month with no movement at all, not even a scout in sight."

Outside the Demon Cave, Humans have been monitoring here, yet in the past half month not a single food item has appeared.

Everyone's getting anxious—there's no way around it, the food supplies are about to run out.

Or rather, as early as several days ago, the elders began rationing the food supplies; otherwise we couldn't have lasted this long.

But the Demon Race food supplies have shown no movement—continuing like this isn't a solution.

Within the garrison, Yun Xiantai, Elder Shi Qingfeng, and the other elders were considering whether to use some Demon Race food instead—at least to solve the immediate problem.

"Could it be that the Demon Race has been scared stiff by defeat?"

"Or maybe we should first prepare a batch of Demon Race food?"

"I think that's doable—continuing like this isn't a solution."

"Yeah, the ingredients are indeed almost gone."

"Only in their extreme difficulty did the elders think of the Demon Race."

"The Demon Race, however, knew nothing of this; at this moment, all the Demon Emperors' minds were filled with questions."

"Damn it, wasn't it said the Devil Race would descend? Why isn't there even a hint of movement."

"The Demon Emperors were utterly depressed; they had prepared for rivers of blood and a fierce battle, but so far, how long has it been?"

"Before, there were reports that the Human Race and the Devil Race would occasionally fight, but since the past month, there hasn't been a hint of movement."

"Now all the Demon Emperors are starting to doubt: just how capable is the Devil Race? Aren't you guys supposed to be brutal and vicious? Come on, then!"
