Chapter 1018

The elders absolutely cannot allow any mishap in the Demon Cave; this concerns the entire Human Race's food supply plan, and can be said to be fundamental to the Human Race.

Nowadays, many Human Race cultivators would find it impossible to get by without a daily taste of Demon Race delicacy.

Immediately, the elders led a group of Human Race experts, Weapon Refiners, and Artifact Masters rushing to the six major Demon Caves.

With the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Sect Alliance Elder as leaders, they carefully studied the Demon Cave.

The elders didn't understand these matters, anxiously waiting; seeing the two stop, they hurried forward and asked.

"How is it? Can it work?"

Facing the elders' expectant gazes, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder nodded and said.

"Yes, although the Demon Race side plans to destroy the Demon Cave, but this Demon Cave has already taken shape; as long as we stabilize this side's exit, we can ensure the basic stability of the whole Demon Cave, preventing collapse, merely................"

As he spoke further, the Artifact Master Alliance Elder hesitated; seeing this, the elders were initially overjoyed, but seeing his pause, they hurriedly asked again.

"Just what? You say it."

"Speak quickly."

"Just if we want to achieve this, the resource consumption will be considerable, and it also depends on the Demon Race's reaction; if the Demon Race is determined to destroy this Demon Cave, then the resources we need to expend will have to increase accordingly."

Put bluntly, it's a contest between the two sides: the Human Race wants to stabilize the Demon Cave, the Demon Race wants to destroy it; thus we must compare resource consumption.

This cost is not small, yet the elders showed no hesitation at all, speaking directly.

"As long as it works, as for resources you needn't worry; worst case, I'll go to the Undying Race and the Demon Race to borrow some resources."

Shi Qingfeng spoke; hearing this, everyone around had strange expressions for a moment.

"Are you going to borrow? But thinking about it, it's also right; nowadays the Human Race is vastly different from before, incomparable; borrowing some resources is no problem."

"Then shall we act?"

"Just go ahead and do it without worry."

The elders told the Artifact Master Alliance Elder and the Formation Sect Alliance Elder that their two alliances only need to take responsibility for stabilizing the Demon Cave for me; other matters need not be worried about.

Worst case, our Human Race can just travel more among the other races.

Now that we have strength, could we possibly wrong ourselves? Moreover, when the Human Race was weak before, weren't we bullied by other races?

During several dark periods of the Human Race, the various resources the Human Race had to compensate were astronomical figures.

Those races would casually find an excuse and open their mouths wide like lions, while the Human Race, lacking strength, could only swallow their broken teeth.

Now that we have strength, is there anything wrong with taking it back?

There is no psychological pressure at all; put bluntly, all races in Haotu Shijie have been contending for various resources since their birth.

The stronger one is, the more resources they occupy; this is perfectly normal.

Upon hearing this, the two alliance elders nodded and arranged their respective alliance members to begin stabilizing the Demon Cave.

On the Demon Race side, after deep consideration and repeated hesitation, they made the decision to destroy the Demon Cave.

There's no way; these Human Race people are really despicable, actually able to come up with such a sinister method.

They had already investigated thoroughly; although they still didn't know exactly how the Human Race did it, that aroma—let alone ordinary Demon Race beings, even a host of Demon Gods lingering around the Demon Cave for a long time could not bear it.

Therefore, whenever a Demon Race member approaches the Demon Cave, they could be attracted; this is completely unavoidable.

If we can't solve the problem, then at least I can destroy the Demon Cave, right?

Although destroying them with our own hands had consumed countless resources and energy to build the Demon Cave, the Demon Gods' hearts were bleeding, but now there is no other choice.

Even if we are reluctant, we must destroy it.

This Demon Cave has brought only harm and no benefit to the Demon Race; indeed, it can be said that it has become the sole channel for the Human Race to act against the Demon Race.

We can't beat them in battle, and leaving it is like a death charm for the Demon Race; therefore it must be destroyed.

However, just as the Demon Gods were about to act, an outcome nobody expected caused them to fall into a stupor.

After a flurry of activity, the Demon Cave indeed trembled a bit, but damn it, it soon stabilized again.

The Demon Cave wasn't destroyed; damn it, it's still perfectly fine there.

"Howl............ (Why is this happening?)"

The host of Demon Gods stared dumbfounded, then immediately looked at those Demon Race members who had acted; hearing this, those Demon Race members were also completely bewildered.

They didn't make a mistake; they indeed followed the correct method; logically the Demon Cave should have collapsed outright.

For a moment they hadn't regained their senses; the Demon Race members cautiously apologized to the Demon Gods, then tried again.

Another bout of activity, the Demon Cave trembled again, but the result was the same: the Demon Cave remained, motionless, standing there.

Seeing this, the Demon Gods' faces turned completely black.

"Howl............. (Do you want to die?)"

Faced with the Demon Gods' deadly gazes, these Demon Race members panicked completely; they truly hadn't done anything wrong, yet why won't this Demon Cave fall?

This is simply outrageous; could the Demon Cave itself have a problem?

They hurriedly apologized to the Demon Gods, then began a careful inspection of the Demon Cave.

Since they were able to construct the Demon Cave, the Demon Race's understanding of it must certainly surpass that of the Human Race.

So they didn't spend much time; they quickly figured out the cause of the problem.

But this made many Demon Race members' faces look even worse, their feelings extremely complicated.

Looking at the silent Demon Race members, the Demon Gods asked impatiently.

"Howl............ (How is it? Have you found out?)"

"Howl............ (Report to the Demon Gods, we... we found out.)"

"Howl.............. (Say, what is the cause.)"

"Howl............. (This.............."

"Howl............. (Just say it if you're told to, speak quickly.)"

"Howl... howl... howl.............. (It's... it's the Human Race side; they are fully stabilizing the Demon Cave over there, so although we have acted here, because of the Human Race side's influence, the Demon Cave just...... just...... just wasn't destroyed.)"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the Demon Gods were dumbfounded—Human Race? How the hell could it be the Human Race?

The Demon Gods never imagined that it would be the Human Race behind this.

Their eyes were filled with confusion.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What should I do?

Upon regaining their senses, they flew into a rage—this Human Race is sick, damn it, why are you guys guarding the Demon Cave?

Isn't this something we Demons used to deal with you? Now we've backed down, we're not fighting, we're actively destroying the Demon Cave—shouldn't you be happy, damn it?

How come you're now turning around and protecting the Demon Cave? This is absurd—come on, we've already backed down, isn't that enough?
