Chapter 1271: Is the Demon Race's status really that high?

The two demon emperors have already been extremely cautious toward the Haotu Shijie; this sealed world is truly peculiar.

For now, we should wait for the intelligence to return before making plans.

The demon side is patiently waiting for intelligence, and the batch of demon scouts that had already infiltrated the Haotu Shijie have now entered various cities one after another.

One team of demon scouts, after the initial surprise, began gathering information in the city.

However, the various powerful beings in the city all wore strange expressions upon seeing them, leaving this team of demon scouts full of suspicion.

They thought, 'Could we have been discovered?' but they hadn't done anything yet.

They hadn't even had a chance to act; how could they possibly be discovered?

Moreover, these people's gazes at them were strange, yet they took no further action, even seeming to deliberately avoid them.

I feel something is off.

No need for you to say it; so many gazes are watching us coming and going.

But why?

How would I know?

They just stare at them with suspicion, yet take no further action—this is just weird.

What the hell are these guys up to? Give us a straight answer.

Moreover, along the way, it seems we haven't seen any other demon race.

At this moment, one demon scout in the team spoke up; upon hearing this, the other demon scouts were also startled.

Upon further thought, that seems right—since entering the Haotu Shijie, they indeed haven't seen any other demon race.

Other races are present, but there's no demon race—this is strange.

Could it be that there are no demons in the Haotu Shijie? But that's not right—if there were no demons in the Haotu Shijie, they'd probably have been caught already.

A race that has never appeared before suddenly shows up in the Haotu Shijie—even a fool can see something's wrong.

It's obvious they aren't native beings of the Haotu Shijie.

And the passing powerful beings of various races, aside from staring at them with their eyes, took no other action.

It doesn't look like they've never seen a demon race before.

In any case, something is odd; they just haven't figured out where the problem lies for the moment.

Unable to figure it out, the team of demon scouts casually found a tavern.

The tavern is obviously a good place to gather information; one can hear plenty about the Haotu Shijie.

The demon scout team isn't in a rush to uncover secrets; they first want to clarify the general situation of the Haotu Shijie.

However, when the demon scout team entered the tavern, which had been bustling, it fell silent in an instant.

The patrons in the tavern all looked up at the demon scout team.

Huh???

Feeling the sudden quiet atmosphere, even the air seemed to have stilled for a moment.

The demon scout team's hearts sank; what's going on? We just came to the tavern to grab a bite—why such a big reaction?

Something's off, really off.

Even the tavern waiter was stunned, but after regaining composure, he still came forward with a smile.

Sir(s), are you here to dine or to stay?

Bring us a table of good wine and dishes.

Sure thing, please wait a moment.

They led the demon scout team to an empty table to sit, and the waiter turned to busy himself with food and drink.

However, as he turned, the waiter's expression instantly turned strange.

How did these demon race ingredients end up here properly? And they even ended up on the table.

Ingredients coming to a tavern to eat? No matter how you look at it, it's weird.

Not only the waiter, but the other patrons present also felt a complex mix of emotions.

Never imagined that one day they'd be eating alongside ingredients in a tavern—what are those ingredients thinking?

Unknowing of what everyone was thinking, after being seated, the demon scout team did not act rashly.

They pretended to chat casually, but in reality they were nervously watching every move around them.

Including the content of everyone's conversation.

Most of what was said was about the previous great battle; as for demon race matters, nobody mentioned them.

How to describe the current demon race? If you say it's miserable, it truly is—they're nearly being eaten to extinction by humans.

But if you say it's not miserable, it's still 'noble status'.

Putting it that way, right now even if you had the ability to kill a demon race ingredient, you wouldn't dare.

Humans have long said that no one may privately slay demon race ingredients.

There's no way around it; the demon race's losses are indeed heavy, and if we keep messing around like this, they'll likely disappear for good.

Therefore, the demon race is protected.

Moreover, those demon race ingredients aren't stupid either; they know their current situation, so when out and about, they don't show fear toward anyone.

Even an ordinary demon, when encountering sages or Great Saints of other races, wears an expression of arrogance.

They aren't afraid of you, yet you dare not mess with them.

Killing a demon is a major crime.

And the demon race's thinking is simple: 'I'm about to die anyway—what's the harm in struggling a bit?'

Anyway, who knows which day they'll end up on the table—can't they at least live a bit more comfortably?

It's said the Undying Race is now the worst off; they originally occupied half of the demon race's territory, but lately the demons keep going to the Undying Race's territory whenever they have nothing to do.

They need food, resources, all kinds of things, while the Undying Race has no temper at all, they dare not provoke them, and can only let the Demon Race act wantonly.

And the Demon Race scouts that have just appeared in the tavern, the attitude of everyone present is also not to provoke them.

These Demon Race are like a dog-skin plaster — don't provoke them, anyway they're dying soon, yet they're protected by the Human Race, a bunch of lunatics.

Seeing the people inside the tavern, each one quietly eating and drinking, only occasionally saying a couple of words.

The brows of this Demon Race scout team furrow tighter and tighter — 'You damn sure you came just to drink and eat?'

Speak up — who the hell drinks without speaking, just drinking?

Moreover, it's precisely after they entered the tavern that these people all fell into silence.

After exchanging a glance, the lead Demon Race scout gave a look; the other Demon Race scout understood instantly, stood up, and walked over to the few people at the neighboring table.

Huh???

Seeing this, the people in the tavern all showed expressions of 'as expected'.

These Demon Race are like barefoot people unafraid of those wearing shoes — if you have the ability, kill me; let's see whether the Human Race will punish you for your crime.

"Hey, what do you mean, why aren't you saying a word?"

As soon as he came up, this Demon Race scout wore an extremely arrogant expression, intending to provoke these few people.

Today we must get to the bottom of things — what exactly is the situation with the Demon Race, why is it that wherever they go, the atmosphere instantly turns weird.

With such an arrogant, contemptuous attitude, under normal circumstances anyone would probably not be able to bear it.

This Demon Race scout had already prepared for these few people to get angry, but the next second, their reply left it stunned.

"We have nothing to say, what should we say?"

Huh???
