Chapter 2533: The Human Race Isn't Stupid; We Must Lure

The Human Race still had three days to arrive, but the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons had already made preparations.

However, just as the Demon God's words fell, an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon rushed in hastily and said.

"Demon God, the Human Race has arrived."

Huh???

Upon hearing this, the Demon God immediately turned his head to look at the Heavenly Spirit Tribe member beside him.

"Didn't you say there were still three days?"

"I…… I don't know; according to the time calculation, there should still be three days."

As for this, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe member was also completely bewildered—how did they arrive now? This isn't right.

They didn't know that, along the way, because they were eager to eat, everyone had pushed the immortal vessel's speed to the extreme, almost pressing the throttle into the fuel tank.

The formations, when activated, gave off red light.

Thus they managed to arrive three days early, just to eat this meal as soon as possible.

Both the Demon God and the Heavenly Spirit Tribe member were full of doubt, always feeling that something was off.

But now the Human Race has arrived; thinking about this is useless, so let's just attack—after all, we've long been prepared.

"What's there to panic about?"

Immediately, the Demon God turned his head and coldly shouted at the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons present, then let out a cold laugh.

"Follow the plan; this time we must make sure these Human Race's blood and flesh have no return."

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, the many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons also nodded with eyes shining.

With so many Human Race powerhouses, to them that is a grand feast.

It is even said that this time, several Heavenly Officials from the Heavenly Palace have come as well—this is a rare delicacy.

You should know that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons greatly love the Human Race's blood and flesh; it is a top-tier delicacy.

Soon, the many Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons inside this Heaven Crystal Mine began to act according to the prior plan.

The first step is naturally to let the Human Race enter, so as to catch them in a jar.

However, having fought the Human Race many times, the Demon God is very clear that the Human Race employs many schemes.

Putting it that way, in terms of cunning and heart, the Demon God has yet to see any race beyond the heavens that can compare to the Human Race.

Among all kinds of plots and schemes, the Human Race uses them the most.

Therefore, to deal with the Human Race, one must always be cautious; moreover, to scheme against the Human Race, one must do even more to ensure flawless success.

Often, it is just due to a minor oversight that the Human Race notices a clue, and then everything is lost.

Such situations, the Demon God has indeed encountered before.

Therefore, from the first step of luring the Human Race into the jar, it made thorough preparations.

Removing the outer defenses was only the first step, but it did not remove them completely.

Instead, it left a small portion to serve as bait.

This batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons was directly abandoned by it, which is colloquially called cannon fodder.

As for the plan, this batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons knew nothing; they were simply performing outer defenses.

Precisely because they were unaware, there would be no flaw.

When the Human Race arrives, this batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons will act as they naturally would; then it will issue the retreat order.

After this pursuit and escape, the Human Race will naturally be lured into the jar.

As long as they enter this Heaven Crystal Mine, then when the exit is sealed, it will be easy to slaughter them.

Having already gone over the entire plan many times in mind, he considered it flawless.

Next, it only needed to wait for the outer batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons to call for help; upon issuing the retreat order, it could lure the Human Race into the jar.

An'an awaited, and at the same time, outside this Heaven Crystal Mine, Ye Zhangqing's group's Heavenly Outside Immortal Vessel had already flown swiftly over.

The immortal vessel had no intention of slowing down at all, but on its deck, countless figures had already filled the space.

Each of them stood on tiptoe in anticipation; they had been waiting for this moment.

After great difficulty they finally arrived at the destination; naturally they couldn't wait even a moment.

They arrived early on the deck and began to secretly sense the outer defenses.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons surely must have deployed defensive forces out there—these are all ingredients; having a little appetizer would be fine.

Countless divine senses frantically scanned the entire space.

With so many people's divine senses intertwined, the surrounding space was almost woven into a huge net by divine sense.

Under this divine-sense net, even a fly passing through would have nowhere to hide, let alone those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons responsible for the outer defenses.

Moreover, coincidentally, they had no idea of their own Demon God's plan; they had long been regarded as cannon fodder, with no preparation at all.

In that case, by the time they noticed something was wrong, they had already been locked on by numerous Human Race cultivators.

Well, by this point, after who knows how many repeated confirmations, someone furrowed their brow and said.

"What are these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons doing? The outer defenses are so weak?"

"How is this only this amount of ingredients?"

"With just this little food, who could it feed?"

"With such little defense, who could it stop?"

In such a vast outer region, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons responsible for defense numbered fewer than fifty—how could this little amount feed anyone?

I had thought there would at least be a hundred; before the main meal, we could at least have an appetizer.

But now this quantity isn't even enough for an appetizer.

At first I thought there might be an omission, but after checking repeatedly, I confirmed that the outer region really only had this few defenders.

In a moment, everyone on the decks of the immortal ships was disappointed.

It's too little, far too little—not even enough to stuff between one's teeth.

But complaining aside, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons had arranged it thus, and the crowd could do nothing about it.

Looks like we can only grab a bite for now; once we storm this celestial crystal mine, we'll have a proper feast.

Disappointing as it is, we still have to face reality.

The crowd tried to console themselves, but Zhao Lao didn't even think of making a move.

The outer guard was not only scarce but also pitifully weak.

To Zhao Lao, these outer Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients weren't even fit to compare with a Heavenly Palace Celestial Official.

They were nothing but feeble, sickly leftovers.

Such a pathetic defense isn't worth Zhao's effort.

He addressed the five Celestial Officials below.

"Whoever among you takes charge, just don't let them escape."

Upon hearing that, not only Zhao Lao but even his five subordinate Celestial Officials felt listless, unable to muster any interest.

In the end, the five drew lots to finally decide who would take charge.

That Celestial Official, displeased, came onto the deck, saw the equally disappointed crowd, and spoke coldly.

"What are you doing? Complaining about scarcity? If you think it's too little, then don't eat later—these Demon God ingredients are precious, yet you're picking and choosing here. Haven't you heard that even flies are meat?"

"If you want a good meal, wait until you've whetted your appetite, then storm the Mining Domain—there will naturally be a proper meal waiting for you. Why rush now?"
