Chapter 1258: Let the old man give it a try
The two demon emperors had completely taken over Bo Xun's territory, after all Haotu Shijie was going to launch a counterattack, so naturally they couldn't attend to anything else.
On the other side, on the Haotu Shijie side, Yun Xiantai, Yu Mo, Hong Zun, and including Ye Zhangqing all came.
Everyone gathered at the entrance of the Demon Cave, Yun Xiantai kept staring fixedly at Dongfang Hong and asked.
"How is it? Still not working?"
"Wait a bit more, don't be anxious—this isn't eating, you can't just take it bite by bite."
It's already been several days, the Demon Cave still hasn't been opened; how could Yun Xiantai not be anxious?
But for now we can only wait patiently, see if Dongfang Hong will put in effort.
Success is imminent, the demon race side shows no special reaction.
At first Dongfang Hong thought the demon race would at least symbolically intervene to stop it, but the demon race side never took any action from start to finish.
That saved a lot of trouble.
Dongfang Hong himself even felt he was crazy, actually helping them open the Demon Cave.
The demon race not coming is already like burning incense in gratitude, yet you actually want to proactively go look for trouble with them.
After another day passed, the Demon Cave was finally opened successfully; at the moment Dongfang Hong nodded, everyone felt delighted.
"Not bad, not bad; now we can also go to the Demon Realm?"
"Hmm, but only this one Demon Cave."
"For now make do with it; when the next batch of resources arrives, you continue opening other Demon Caves."
"Do we still need to come?"
"Otherwise what? The demon race has five Demon Caves."
Hearing that Yun Xiantai still wants to continue opening Demon Caves, Dongfang Hong was stunned—just how reckless are you?
He opened his mouth, but in the end still said nothing.
Knowing that even if he spoke, Yun Xiantai and the others probably wouldn't listen, he just let it be.
Finally we can go to the Demon Realm, no need to passively guard; excited, Yun Xiantai turned to look at everyone and said.
"Everyone, are you interested in going to take a look at the Demon Realm?"
"That's natural."
"We definitely have to go."
"Wait, you're going now?"
Everyone showed no hesitation; hearing that, Dongfang Hong immediately interrupted.
In response, everyone said puzzledly.
"Having opened it, we definitely want to go see."
"At this time the demon race side definitely has preparations; our movements can be sensed by the demon race."
"Opening the Demon Cave will certainly not escape the demon race's notice; going now isn't that courting death?"
Hearing that, everyone thought it was nothing and waved their hands dismissively.
"Don't worry, we'll naturally be careful."
"Is this a matter of being careful? The demon race clearly has preparations; as soon as you show your head, you'll be captured instantly."
Dongfang Hong didn't know how big the courage of these people from Haotu Shijie was; they still want to go?
However, the crowd didn't listen to him; regarding the Demon Cave, after studying it for so long, now they can finally pass through unimpeded—they should definitely experience it firsthand.
Even Ye Zhangqing looked eager to try.
Not heeding Dongfang Hong's advice, Yun Xiantai led everyone and immediately entered the Demon Cave.
This time they indeed weren't rejected by the Demon Cave, and entered very smoothly, just like those demons before.
Walking inside the Demon Cave, the surroundings weren't particularly special; it was like a spatial passage, all around pitch black with no light at all.
Inside the Demon Cave, space and time seemed imperceptible.
"It's truly miraculous."
Such a method, Haotu Shijie doesn't have; everyone sighed softly.
No wonder the Demon Cave can forcibly connect two worlds, establishing a link.
If Haotu Shijie could master such a technique, then wouldn't it also be able to establish a link with Zhu Tian Wan Jie?
Of course, as the Demon Cave is a means unique to the demon race, other races wouldn't have it.
They went on, not knowing how long they had walked, when finally they saw light ahead.
"Is this the exit?"
"Probably."
"Indeed convenient, it only took this short time to span two worlds."
"Otherwise how would the demon race keep attacking us?"
At the exit, the crowd didn't act rashly; although they were very curious about the Demon Realm, they also wanted to gather more foodstuffs to bring back.
But the crowd aren't stupid; they naturally know the demon race is probably guarding outside now.
Their guess was spot on; outside the Demon Cave at this moment were two demon emperors, a host of demon god kings, numerous demon gods, already lying in wait in battle formation.
Their eyes fixed firmly on the Demon Cave exit, ready to strike at any moment.
At the moment the Demon Cave was opened, the two demon emperors received the news and hurried over.
Now they were waiting for those humans from Haotu Shijie to take the bait.
As long as they dare to step out of the Demon Cave today, they'll be captured outright, leaving them no way to return.
Moreover, just now the Demon Cave clearly showed a reaction, proving that someone had already entered from the other side.
As for who, no need to think—it certainly couldn't be Bo Xun and his lot.
So, many demons had already prepared.
But after waiting left and right, they still didn't see anyone come out, and there wasn't even a hint of movement.
"They couldn't have retreated back, could they?"
A Demon God couldn't help muttering; hearing that, the Demon God beside him shook his head.
"The Demon Cave still has movement; these Human Race are still inside the Demon Cave, they probably guessed something as well."
"Hmph, even if they guessed, as long as they dare show their heads, today we'll make sure they have no return."
The demons here waited patiently; inside the Demon Cave, everyone showed no sign of anxiety.
The Artifact Master Alliance's elder chuckled and spoke.
"You say, could the demons have ambushed a million troops outside?"
"We'll see if we just look."
"Indeed, let this old one give it a try."
Saying that, the Artifact Master Alliance's elder produced a puppet.
Everyone naturally couldn't risk their lives; curiosity aside, life is still important, and no one meant to gamble with their lives.
This puppet was refined by the Artifact Master Alliance's elder himself; its strength isn't great, but it can be controlled via a special method, and its vision can be shared.
Most importantly, even if the puppet is destroyed, the person himself suffers no injury or backlash; at most he loses just a puppet.
Watching the Artifact Master Alliance's elder produce that puppet, Dongfang Hong, who had come in together, was numb.
No, you all in Haotu Shijie are always researching all sorts of weird stuff.
In Zhu Tian Wan Jie, refining puppets is quite troublesome; basically they're used as a life-saving trump card for juniors.
Putting it this way, puppets of the same level and cultivators of the same level, the puppet's price isn't much lower.
In other words, to craft a saint-level puppet, the resources consumed are not inferior to those needed to cultivate a Saint Realm cultivator.
At the same level, the resources for puppets and cultivators are the same; thus the cost-effectiveness is obviously much lower.
After all, it's a puppet, lacking much autonomy, and easily destroyed; once destroyed, those vast resources are just wasted.
