Chapter 1287: Really Knows How to Pick the Time

Ye Zhangqing's arrival made the many strong ones guarding the Demon Cave excited beyond measure, each eagerly awaiting the arrival of mealtime.

After such hardship, we finally got to eat this hot meal; how could everyone not be happy?

Today we finally got to eat this hot meal.

Why isn't it mealtime yet?

I can't wait any longer.

When you guys eat later, save me a bite; today I'm on Demon Cave watch.

Everyone was impatiently waiting, and those assigned to Demon Cave watch were even more frustrated, beating their chests and stamping their feet.

Why does it have to be their turn today?

Because the Demon Cave must always have someone on watch to deal with any sudden situations.

So they must stay behind, wait for the others to finish eating, then take their turn to eat.

Although it sounds like there's no difference, this is Ye Zhangqing's cooking—being late by even a second is a sin.

But there's nothing we can do; duty calls.

Only feel that today's time passes especially slowly; every minute and second feels like torture.

After great effort we finally made it to mealtime; the many strong ones, except those on Demon Cave watch, instantly burst forth at top speed toward the Spirit City.

Upon Ye Zhangqing's arrival, Yun Xiantai specially designated a Spirit City to serve as his Canteen.

Before even entering, one could already faintly smell the aroma of the food.

This made the already eager crowd even more anxious, unwilling to wait another second.

It's this aroma.

The taste from my dreams—today it finally came true.

I tell you, speed up the food line, don't dawdle.

Yeah, we can't wait.

Those at the back kept urging those in front, but everyone still observed the rules.

But their anxiety grew ever stronger.

Just as they had begun serving food here, the five Demon Caves, which had been calm as still wells, suddenly experienced violent disturbances.

Demons had entered the Demon Caves, and not a few of them; all five caves reacted simultaneously.

The ones responsible for monitoring the Demon Caves, upon sensing the change, instantly darkened in expression and immediately sent the news back to Spirit City.

With such violent fluctuations, the demons are likely about to attack the Haotu World again.

Inside the Canteen, everyone was already seated at the tables, five dishes had been served, when Yun Xiantai suddenly received the news from the Demon Caves.

Demons attack—just four simple words.

Damn it, these demon race food materials really know how to pick the timing.

He immediately exploded in anger, cursing loudly.

These demon race food materials really do pick the timing—neither early nor late, they choose to show up right at mealtime, on purpose, right?

Yun Xiantai's eyes turned red, his teeth grinding audibly.

We've longed for Ye Zhangqing's arrival, and now that the dishes are on the table awaiting our chopsticks, you damn well choose this moment to attack?

Don't you even check the almanac before heading out?

However, with the demons launching a full-scale assault, even if we're reluctant, we can't possibly ignore it; by the time we finish a meal, the demons might have already slaughtered their way into the Haotu World.

At that point, trying to stop them would be troublesome.

So, even though we're reluctant, Yun Xiantai abruptly rose to his feet and led everyone rushing toward the five great Demon Caves.

At the same time, he sent a message to Qi Xiong and the others in the rear, telling them to stay ready to provide support.

Yun Xiantai glanced resentfully at the food on the table, swallowed his fury, and strode out of the Canteen.

Youngster Ye Zhangqing, keep these dishes; I'll come back to eat after I've dealt with these ingredients.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind Ye Zhangqing: this must not be wasted.

Immediately, all that could be heard was Yun Xiantai swearing as he walked away.

You damned dogs, today I'll kill you all.

Not only Yun Xiantai, but the many other strong ones as well were filled with burning rage at this moment.

These damned things are truly infuriating.

Especially those who had just served themselves food, taken a single bite, then learned of the demon attack—their anger flared even more.

This damn food is right at my lips, and then you demons come attacking? What am I supposed to do with this bowl of rice?

The many strong ones were furious beyond measure.

Filled with rage, they rushed toward the Demon Caves, and the demons inside soon emerged as well.

But when the first batch of demons stepped out of the Demon Caves, they were met by a group of Haotu World strong ones gritting their teeth, eyes bloodshot.

Huh???

What's going on? This bunch feels off.

Before, when we fought them, it wasn't like this; although they were a bit sinister and their methods a bit underhanded, they didn't have this much resentment.

What caused this much resentment? Did you dig up our ancestors' graves?

For a moment I couldn't make sense of it; mainly, the resentment of these Haotu World people is just too great.

It's simply off the charts—their resentment shoots straight up to the heavens.

You damned dogs, interfering with our meal? Today I'll kill you.

Kill.

Prepare the ingredients.

They gave the demons no time to react; as soon as the first batch appeared, the many powerhouses of Haotu Shijie were already howling as they rushed up.

It felt as if they wanted to rip those demons apart alive.

Their eyes red, they went up and fought desperately.

"What's wrong with these guys?"

"I don't know."

Just a single encounter, and some of the demons were already dazed from the beating.

Their purpose this time was to probe, to see if Haotu Shijie still had any hidden Emperor Sovereign Realm powerhouses.

Damn, why did they go all‑out as soon as they came up?

Before, they had clashed with Haotu Shijie, and those powerhouses were still very careful with their lives.

If they could scheme against you, they would never risk themselves or dangerously clash head‑on.

But now it's completely different.

Without saying a word, they came up with a posture of fighting desperately.

And when they fight, it's the same: they'd rather trade wounds, appearing as if they want to kill you.

Besides, isn't Haotu Shijie the one that values traps the most? Where the hell are your traps?

Right now, the first batch of demons have just come out of the Demon Cave, and they're already blocked at its mouth.

They can't move at all; the traps that Haotu Shijie previously relied on heavily are completely useless this time.

According to the demons' understanding of Haotu Shijie, it's impossible for them not to have set traps.

The only explanation is that they haven't yet entered the trap's range.

They don't even care about traps anymore, they just rush up to fight desperately—what could have stimulated them like this?

We've fought many times before; you couldn't possibly be erupting only now, could you?

Before, you guys were scheming in batches; now you've risen up?

I completely don't understand what's going on, but facing Haotu Shijie's madness, the demon side quickly fell into a disadvantage.

Mainly, these guys are really crazy—they don't care about trading wounds, and some even go so far as to probe traps all the way just to get at them; their hatred is maxed out, even though the demons haven't done anything yet.

Just having come out of the Demon Cave, they're already like this.
