Chapter 1222: You guys want to eat people?

Originally on guard and ready to attack, the Dongfang family members all froze upon hearing what Yun Xiantai and the others said.

Their expressions turned extremely odd and ugly.

"Their expressions changed—did they understand what we're saying?"

"Impossible, they're extraterrestrial beings; how could they understand our words?"

Noticing the Dongfang family's change in expression, Wu Shou still felt a bit worried.

However, Yun Xiantai and the others confidently claimed these extraterrestrial beings couldn't possibly understand their words, since they weren't human.

But the next second, the leading Dongfang family member snapped with a grim face.

"Enough, do you still want to eat people?"

Huh??

As soon as those words were spoken, Yun Xiantai and the others stared, wondering, "Who? Who's speaking?"

No way, how could this guy speak our human language?

For a moment, Yun Xiantai and the others' gazes all fell on that Dongfang family member, their eyes full of doubt.

How could this person understand their words?

Facing that Dongfang family member's words, Yun Xiantai and the others fell silent.

"You barbarians actually still want to eat people."

As for the Dongfang family members, at that moment they all thought the same thing: these people before them were just a bunch of barbarians.

Indeed, it's a closed-off world, developing slowly, capable of doing things like eating people.

"Who the hell are you calling a barbarian? Who wants to eat people?"

Hearing that, Yu Mo and the others protested, "When did we ever say we wanted to eat people?"

"Still denying it? You just said it yourselves."

"What did we say?"

"You said we're food."

"What does that have to do with eating people?"

"You...... we're actually human beings."

"Huh?? You're humans?"

Upon hearing that Dongfang family member shout, Yun Xiantai and the others finally took a good look at the Dongfang family before them.

"They really do seem to be humans."

"I just said that earlier, you......"

"Alright, alright, Little Qing, what do you think?"

At this time Ye Zhangqing had also been secretly observing the Dongfang family members, and he even queried the system, but the system gave no response.

This proves these people before us aren't food; otherwise the system would surely have given a hint.

So it seems the Dongfang family's earlier words were probably not false.

He gave Yun Xiantai and the others a complex look.

"They're not food; they should be human."

Huh??

Ye Zhangqing spoke up, and for a moment Yun Xiantai and the others' expressions also turned complex.

"What the hell is this? Did we really just want to eat people?"

Everyone naturally has no strange fetishes; it's just that we've had little contact with extraterrestrial beings, and the only one we've encountered—a demon race—was top‑grade food, so our thoughts went astray.

For a moment our moods were mixed; we're not barbarians, we don't have such bizarre tastes.

"Um...... sorry about that just now......"

"Bullshit sorry; even if they're not food, they're outsiders—capture them first, then talk."

If they're not food, then they're not natives of Haotu Shijie at best they're just foreign humans.

So we still need to capture them.

Seeing Wu Shou actually apologize with a guilty face, Yun Xiantai's mouth twitched in anger—"Are you sick? Apologizing to the enemy?"

Upon hearing that, the Dongfang family members felt these guys were a bit off, yet they also gripped their weapons tightly, ready to strike at any moment.

They wouldn't surrender; having been driven to desperation by the demon race, they had no choice but to flee to Haotu Shijie.

Now if Yun Xiantai and the others make a move, the Dongfang family will naturally have to resist with all their might.

For a moment the atmosphere tensed like drawn swords; just as they were about to clash, Dongfang Hong, who had just settled the heavenly thunder, stepped forward and said.

"Wait."

"Old thing, what else do you have to say?"

"We mean no harm; coming to this realm truly left us no choice—could you give us a chance to explain?"

If possible to avoid fighting, Dongfang Hong would certainly not want to fight.

Although he could see that the strongest among Yun Xiantai and the others present was only at Great Emperor Perfection, far below his level.

But this is, after all, their territory, and Dongfang Hong himself is still seriously injured.

Who knows how many Great Emperors exist in this world.

If they all attacked together, Dongfang Hong wouldn't dare say he could win; thus if the other side agreed to give a chance for everyone to talk, that would be the best outcome.

Dongfang Hong lowered his posture greatly; hearing this, Yun Xiantai and the others exchanged a glance.

I don't know if it's Ye Zhangqing's illusion, but after learning the Dongfang family were also humans, everyone's excitement seemed to have waned.

Since they're not food, there's no point in wasting words and energy on me and you.

So, upon hearing Dongfang Hong's words, Yu Mo, Wang Man, Yuan Cang, and Wu Shou all turned directly to Yun Xiantai and said.

You decide.

As for the four elders of the Elf Clan, they naturally have no say; whatever the Human Race says, they'll just go along with it.

Gazing deeply at Dongfang Hong, Yun Xiantai said.

"Have your people lower their magical implements, and I'll give you a chance to talk."

Upon hearing that, Dongfang Hong furrowed his brow, but after a moment he still nodded in agreement.

Good.

If he can avoid fighting, Dongfang Hong certainly doesn't want to fight.

The reason he came to Haotu World was originally just to buy himself some time to seek an opportunity.

After a crushing defeat by the Demon Race, the Dongfang Family split into several groups and fled in different directions.

The group led by Dongfang Hong suffered countless attacks by the Demon Race along the way.

Originally numbering several thousand, the group now has only over a hundred left.

Seeing no way out, Dongfang Hong forcibly broke open a spatial passage, intending to enter Haotu World.

Therefore, the Dongfang Family's sole request is to be allowed to temporarily stay in Haotu World for a while.

On one hand, to have time to heal their wounds; on the other, to wait for news from other Dongfang Family members before making further plans.

So, faced with Yun Xiantai's request, Dongfang Hong agreed without much hesitation.

Upon hearing that, the Dongfang Family members were initially somewhat reluctant, thinking, "Isn't this giving them an opportunity?"

But Dongfang Hong's attitude was firm, so the Dongfang Family members still put away their magical implements as instructed.

Immediately, the group arrived at the Elf Clan Royal City.

However, upon entering, the Dongfang Family members felt they were being locked onto; the surrounding towering ancient trees seemed like eyes, watching them constantly.

"Tree Spirit............"

Some Dongfang Family members murmured, naturally knowing the condition of these ancient trees.

They have developed a simple consciousness, like loyal guards, so as soon as they entered, they were firmly locked onto by these tree spirits.

As long as the Elf Clan gives an order, these tree spirits will immediately attack from all directions.

Fortunately, the Dongfang Family members are honest and didn't make any secret moves.
