Chapter 1197: This isn't what was agreed upon

Traps appeared all around the rear of the troop, leaving the many demon tribes dazed for a moment.

Before, so many people stepped past and were fine; why did traps suddenly appear now?

What the heck, can traps just appear out of thin air?

But before the demon tribes could think much, the traps triggered instantly; in a moment, the light of the formations and talisman seals shot up into the sky.

The front of the troop was like that, the rear was like that; in a moment, the entire demon tribe army fell into the encirclement of traps.

"How is that possible? How could traps appear in the rear?"

Even Bei Zun stared wide-eyed at this sight.

He could understand encountering traps in front; after all, the human race's traps really do have something, they are very powerful and extremely hidden.

But traps also appeared in the rear, which left Bei Zun utterly baffled.

Before there was nothing wrong, so why are traps appearing now?

Bei Zun was a bit dazed, and the other demon tribes were also a bit dazed, each looking around, no longer having their earlier ease in their eyes.

At this moment, the demon tribes felt that traps seemed to be everywhere they looked, and everything seemed off.

They dared not move, but even standing still, traps appeared under their feet just the same.

Seeing the light suddenly flare up beneath their feet, the demon tribes were stunned.

"No, I didn't move, why am I also hit by a trap? Where's the reason?"

They had been extremely careful, not moving at all since just now, yet even so, I could still be caught?

Where exactly did these traps come from?

Logically, if there were traps, they should have been triggered long ago; so many people walked past without incident, why would they suddenly appear now? It's unreasonable.

The demon tribes racked their brains but couldn't figure out where these traps came from.

Even the chariot Bei Zun was riding in was now enveloped by light.

"Your Majesty, traps, be careful."

Seeing the light beneath Bei Zun's chariot, the surrounding demon gods panicked directly.

Holy shit, even Bei Zun got hit? Hearing that, Bei Zun's face darkened, he said nothing and just stared at the light below.

How are the human race's traps so sinister?

He has fought south and north for so many years, yet he has never seen such an absurd trap.

Before Bei Zun could think further, the traps erupted; in a moment, the demon tribe army led by Bei Zun directly fell into the encirclement of formations and talisman seals.

"Damn it."

Enveloped by the talisman seal's light, Bei Zun's strength meant there was no mortal danger.

Even a holy-grade talisman seal could not seriously wound Bei Zun, a demon god of perfect cultivation.

But he was furious; after entering Haotu Shijie, he hadn't seen a shadow of the enemy, yet they themselves kept suffering trap attacks.

Now, the entire force was even more surrounded by traps; needless to say, this wave of casualties was definitely not small.

Damn, they haven't even made a move yet, and the casualties are already severe; even more absurd is how they got caught in the traps, which Bei Zun still hasn't figured out.

Before everything was fine, so why did things suddenly go wrong? Could these traps have fallen from the sky?

Bei Zun angrily used all his demonic power to smash the talisman seal, breaking free successfully; though he looked somewhat miserable, he actually hadn't suffered serious injury.

But the demon tribe warriors below were another matter; many were directly killed by the formations and talisman seals, and even those who stubbornly resisted this wave of traps each ended up with serious injuries.

Seeing this result, Bei Zun gritted his teeth; how could the development of this battle be so unlike what he had expected?

Bei Zun doesn't know now whether the human race is weak or not, after all he hasn't even seen a person, let alone fought them.

But just the fact that the human race came up with this trap scheme has indeed caused great trouble for the demon tribe.

Moreover, there really is no good way to counter it right now; such sinister traps cannot be defended against even if one tries.

"Could this intelligence be problematic?"

With such trap-laying methods, could the human race possibly be as weak as ants?

Just relying on this trap scheme alone is already absurd enough.

Bei Zun began to doubt Ge Li's intelligence for the first time; the discrepancy between this development and what the intelligence said was truly too great.

Yet Bei Zun's heart was unwilling to give up; this time he must certainly trample the entirety of Haotu Shijie, seize this barbarian land for the demon tribe, and expand territory.

So, even though Bei Zun was angry, he had no intention of retreating in the slightest.

Scanning the surrounding chaotic demon tribes, Bei Zun's face darkened as he was about to speak, when suddenly shouts of killing came from all around.

Huh???

Hearing the shouts of killing and feeling the strong auras, Bei Zun not only felt no panic, but became excited instead.

These ants have finally shown themselves.

To be frank, Bei Zun fears no human race at all; compared to fighting the human race in a big battle, he would rather not face these extremely sinister traps.

Because you never know when you'll get hit.

Unable to defend against it, rather than this, it's better to fight the human race head-on; with the demon tribe's strength, Bei Zun doesn't believe he would lose.

With the living beings of this barbarian land, could they possibly stop the demon tribe's advance?

So, upon facing the human race's attack now, Bei Zun immediately roared excitedly.

"Demon tribe warriors, kill the enemy."

"Kill."

"Kill."

And the demon tribes under his command also instantly gained fighting spirit.

Having been infuriated by the traps, they finally had a place to vent their anger.

Not long after, strong beings from all tribes of Haotu Shijie could be seen rushing forth together from all directions.

The numbers are not few; the demon race has already been completely surrounded.

Surrounded by multiple layers, the demon race showed no panic; they did not retreat but advanced, even taking the initiative to meet the enemy.

Seeing this, Yun Xiantai immediately sent a mental message to the ancestors of all clans.

"Remember, capture them alive if you can; don't kill them all."

These demon race members are truly brave; they actually dare to come forward now, but that's fine—it saves effort.

The two sides immediately clashed head-on; Bei Zun was about to strike, but Yun Xiantai stepped in front of him first.

Among those present, only Yun Xiantai had the strength to fight Bei Zun.

Looking at Yun Xiantai blocking his path, Bei Zun's eyes turned icy: "Is this the human race that Ge Li and the others spoke of?"

Indeed weak, with a frail and small stature.

Compared to the demon race, the human race's stature is indeed slight, completely incomparable.

After just a glance, Bei Zun lost interest and threw a punch, saying, "Die."

Confident that a single punch could kill Yun Xiantai, he thought the frail human race could not possibly withstand his strike.

Facing Bei Zun's attack, Yun Xiantai had no intention of dodging; instead, he chose to meet it head-on, slashing out with his sword as the blade and fist aura violently collided.

Terrifying power erupted instantly; the surrounding space shattered like glass in an instant, and the sky above was immediately covered in cracks.
