Chapter 1186: These goods aren't leaving?

Just a moment ago, each of them still looked seriously injured, but in an instant they vanished while fleeing.

That speed left the demon race staring wide‑eyed, mouths agape—how could they possibly move like that?

Bo Bo Ke was completely bewildered; these humans are rather uncanny.

As for Ge Li standing nearby, he merely froze for a moment, then let out a cold laugh.

"Hmph, they might escape the first, but can they escape the fifteenth?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Bo Bo Ke gave him a complex look and said, "No, you fucking didn't notice something's off?"

"Um.............. Ge Li, commander, these humans seem a bit off."

Bo Bo Ke still couldn't help reminding him, after all he genuinely felt these humans were off.

Upon hearing that, Ge Li also nodded in agreement.

"Hmm, indeed it's off."

Such a simple sentence almost moved Bo Bo Ke to tears—this was the first time Ge Li had agreed with him, which was no easy feat, truly not easy.

But just as Bo Bo Ke thought Ge Li had also noticed something unusual about the humans, Ge Li's next sentence left Bo Bo Ke utterly bewildered.

"These humans are each weak in combat, yet their speed is surprisingly fast—they're quite adept at fleeing."

Huh???

"You fucking mean that's what's off? I.................."

Bo Bo Ke thought Ge Li had discovered something, but it turned out to be just this? Just this?

Seeing Bo Bo Ke's complex expression, Ge Li turned his head and asked.

"What, do you have any problem?"

"No........ no.........."

The words sound utterly strange, but upon reflection, it seems there really isn't any problem.

Those humans' combat ability is indeed weak, but their fleeing speed is truly fast; from that perspective, Ge Li's words are spot on.

But could this guy really have seen through the essence? Still, I keep feeling something's off.

"Demon warriors, humans are weak and utterly unworthy to be our enemies; capture humans, gather intelligence."

"Oh............."

After this battle, Ge Li's confidence soared; he hardly regarded humans at all—these weak humans could be wiped out by the demon race with a flip of the hand, not even worthy of being called a threat.

At this moment, Ge Li only thought of swiftly completing his mission, expanding territory for the demon race, and earning further military merit.

After the battle, Ge Li not only had no intention of returning to the demon realm, but even planned to pursue the victory.

Meanwhile, the members of Dao Yi Shengdi who had withdrawn from the battlefield now seemed perfectly fine, arriving at a nearby small town to rest temporarily.

"This demon race's strength is actually not bad."

"Compared to before, they're a bit stronger, but still nothing special—defeating them won't be difficult."

"Saying that, you're talking about playing a long game to catch a big fish—you haven't heard the Saint Master say that?"

"Yeah, these mere couple thousand portions of food material aren't enough for anything—can't even stuff between the teeth."

"Hehe, we did a decent job in this battle; those demons should be heading back soon, and then we just wait for the main course to be served."

"Keke............."

Just thinking about soon achieving free access to demon race food material made all the disciples extremely excited.

Moreover, before setting out, all the Peak Masters had said that once we obtained the demon race food material, everyone would get a share, and the canteen would prepare a big meal for everyone to eat heartily.

This made it impossible for everyone not to look forward to it.

But just as everyone was secretly anticipating, He Yun ahead suddenly sent word that the demons hadn't left; instead, they continued forward.

Upon receiving the news, Qi Xiong froze.

"What does it mean that the demons didn't leave?"

"Hmm, it seems this battle thoroughly boosted their confidence; now they strut about even more arrogantly."

Huh???

After this battle, not only did it fail to drive those demon race food materials away, it actually gave them confidence—damn it..................

Qi Xiong's heart was in turmoil; "Did I just give you face, damn it?"

"If it weren't for my anticipation of the main dish, I'd have killed you all in a minute."

"I put on an act just for you to see, yet you actually believed it? Do you really think this Haotu Shijie is your demon race's backyard?"

"However, from other perspectives, this also proves that everyone's acting was fine—otherwise the demons wouldn't have behaved like that."

"The act succeeded, yet Qi Xiong just feels uneasy inside—how could these demons still be pretending?"

"Brother Qi, lacking restraint in small matters will ruin big plans."

Seeing Qi Xiong gritting his teeth in silence, the Yunluo Saint Master beside him spoke up to remind him.

"Now we can't afford to lose the big picture over small gains, or else we'll suffer a loss that outweighs the gain."

"This demon squad is utterly unimportant; the main dish to come is the real highlight."

Upon hearing that, Qi Xiong took a deep breath.

"So what should we do now?"

"Just keep acting, until they leave on their own."

"But what if these demons approach the city?"

"Then let everyone act together."

Huh???

"Is that feasible?"

"How can it not work?"

"Killing them is definitely out of the question; otherwise, the earlier act would have been for nothing, so now we definitely have to see it through to the end."

"Hearing the words of the Yunluo Shèngzhǔ, Qi Xiong thought for a moment and then nodded in agreement."

"Soon they summoned the lords of the surrounding cities and explained the plan to them in full."

"Upon first hearing Qi Xiong's words, several city lords grimaced."

"Shèngzhǔ, you want us to put on a show?"

"Not bad, any problem?"

"Facing the foreign invasion, we don't think of bravely fighting the enemy, but instead we have to accompany them in acting? And even deliberately lose? This..."

"I can't do it."

"How could we possibly act with these foreign races?"

"Those not of our kind must have different hearts, Shèngzhǔ."

"Several city lords looked extremely unwilling; what are the demons? They are the enemies of the Haotu world!"

"Facing the enemy, not killing them but instead accompanying them in acting? Even deliberately losing? What kind of reasoning is this?"

"Over these past days, the actions of this demon troop have been completely observed by several city lords."

"If it weren't for the holy land's order forbidding rash action, they would have long been unable to sit still."

"Even if we can't defeat Bo Bo Ke and Ge Li, these two demon gods, we could still set up a couple of traps, right?"

"These demons completely treat our Haotu world as their own backyard, acting arrogantly without bounds."

"During the day they stroll around with their hands behind their backs, blatantly not avoiding people."

"At night it's even more outrageous; they have bonfires and fine wine every day, showing no regard for us humans."

"Right under our noses, you're really not panicking at all."

"Already resentful, and now hearing that Qi Xiong and the others want to act, the city lords are naturally unwilling."

"However, when facing Qi Xiong and the others, they spoke rather tactfully."

"Seeing their resolute, death-defying demeanor, Qi Xiong and the others also did not get angry."

"They also hope the human race can have more of this vigor, after all, this is the foundation of a race's development."

"But the plan is as it stands now, so we still need to think of a way to persuade them."

"Seeing the city lords filled with righteous indignation, Qi Xiong grinned and said."

"You are all excellent, the pride of our human race, but the plan is thus and cannot be changed."

"Shèngzhǔ, then redeem us, we find it hard to..."

"But we won't let you act for nothing; after the matter succeeds, those who participated can go to my Dao Yi Shengdi to have a meal."
