Chapter 2542: Why Aren't You Using the Secret Method?
Letting these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons and Human Race cultivators compare their scheming minds is indeed somewhat difficult for them.
This is not something Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons should be doing.
So, regarding the strange behavior of the Human Race cultivators, these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons didn't think much about it.
Just watching more and more Human Race cultivators use the Mìfǎ, these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons felt a sense that their scheme had succeeded.
The plan is going smoothly; now they just wait for the Demon God to feel the timing is right, then they can launch a full-scale counterattack.
So without thinking much, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons at the entrance soon surged forth another batch, numbering about two thousand as well.
And facing the appearance of this batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients, the Human Race side was equally high-spirited, each one excited beyond measure.
Although the Mìfǎ has been banned, that previous set of methods no longer works.
But having ingredients is definitely a good thing; never mind the rest, let's seize them first.
So, this batch of Human Race cultivators who rotated in, without a word, surged forward in a dark mass.
The two sides immediately went into battle together.
In numbers, the Human Race side still held an absolute advantage; as soon as these two thousand Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients appeared, they were instantly surrounded by a multitude of Human Race cultivators.
Given such a numerical disparity, the outcome naturally goes without saying.
Looking around, everywhere are silhouettes of Human Race cultivators; there's simply no fight to be had.
They hadn't even made a move when they were pressed to the ground by the surrounding Human Race cultivators.
But this time is different from before; these Human Race cultivators, when they act, no longer as before, immediately using the Mìfǎ right at the start.
At present, most of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients have been seized, yet the Human Race side hasn't had a single person use the Mìfǎ.
Everyone just went straight in and then took these ingredients.
The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons leading at the entrance, seeing this, furrowed their brows and said.
"What's going on? Why aren't the Human Race using the Mìfǎ?"
It's strange; earlier, by this point, almost all Human Race cultivators should have already used the Mìfǎ.
But this time, not a single one has.
"Could it be that the Human Race has noticed something? After all, these guys are just not smart."
An Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon voiced suspicion, otherwise it wouldn't make sense.
In response, several other Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons also frowned tightly, wondering if the Human Race truly noticed something.
If that's really the case, what are they to do?
To continue trying to lure them again would likely be difficult.
Feeling extremely displeased, seeing success just ahead, after a few more rounds, the time for counterattack would arrive.
But precisely at this critical juncture, the Human Race again refused to cooperate.
Just now the Mìfǎ was being used like it was free, but now, damn it, no one is using it.
What on earth is wrong with this Human Race, deliberately coming to mess with their mentality?
Not to mention the leaders at the entrance, even those Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons trapped in the Human Race's encirclement are now completely bewildered.
Indeed, one of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons surrounded by three Human Race cultivators had eyes full of suspicion.
"You're not using the Mìfǎ?"
During the earlier battle, it hid at the entrance and saw everything clearly.
It naturally knows that luring these Human Race cultivators to use the Mìfǎ is not overly difficult.
In previous batches, their companions hardly needed to do anything; as soon as they rushed out of the Heaven Crystal Ore, before even engaging, those Human Race cultivators would use the Mìfǎ one after another.
It was an extremely easy task to accomplish.
But why, when it came to here, does it feel off?
The Human Race cultivators who should have already used the Mìfǎ, upon reaching here, simply had no intention of using it.
This made the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon full of suspicion, feeling off, extremely off, these Human Race cultivators have a problem.
Full of suspicion, it then foolishly asked.
As for that, the three Human Race cultivators besieging it didn't think much, and one of them casually replied.
"We three are fighting you one-on-one; what need is there to use the Mìfǎ?"
Huh???
What he said makes sense, yet it still feels something is wrong; this shouldn't be how things develop.
So, upon hearing that person's reply, this Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon furrowed its brows and stared blankly.
"Then why did you use the Mìfǎ before?"
"I damn well feel like it; why so much nonsense."
Being repeatedly questioned, these three Human Race cultivators also lost patience, thinking they should quickly seize this ingredient and change shifts.
Now Zhao Lao forbids using the Mìfǎ; cutting in line doesn't work anymore, everyone must honestly queue.
So, after sending the ingredients back, then going to the meal place, who knows how long the queue will be.
Who has time to stand here chatting nonsense with this ingredient.
As for the issue with this ingredient, the three also didn't think much, just like the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons don't want to think much.
As for the Human Race, it's because everyone knows these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons just don't have much brains.
Fighting Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons involves no brainwork; they're just a bunch of brutes, everyone just brawls, whoever has the bigger fist wins.
Having said that, the three immediately attacked, without using the Mìfǎ, and in a few moves took down that Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon.
Afterward, this batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients was also entirely sent to the Fire Room.
But unlike before, this time around, not a single person on the Human Race side used the Mìfǎ.
Everyone remained unmoved, after all Zhao Lao is guarding the meal area; if anyone dares to privately use the Mìfǎ again, not to mention queuing, they won't even get a chance to eat.
So, naturally no one would use Mìfǎ at this time, courting death.
Watching the Human Race cultivators leave one after another, the few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons at the entrance were dumbfounded.
"What's going on? They've really been seen through by these Human Race."
"That shouldn't be."
"How could that be? Just a moment ago they clearly weren't like this."
"Not a single one used Mìfǎ."
"We clearly haven't done anything extra."
"Alright, what's the point of randomly guessing here? Just try once more and we'll know."
"Continue preparing."
"Okay."
"I can't figure it out—how did the Human Race suddenly change so much? Since that's the case, let's just try again and see how the Human Race fares this time."
"Either it's the same as before—without a word they activate Mìfǎ—or like now, they absolutely refuse to use Mìfǎ."
"Upon hearing that, soon another squad of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients was ready and charged out of the entrance."
"Here they come again?"
"The Human Race cultivators left on guard, seeing this, also felt delighted—these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are really warm-hearted, they never stopped."
"Then, without hesitation, they swarmed up and immediately surrounded this batch of ingredients again."
"Cut off their retreat back to the Heavenly Crystal Mine."
"Anyway, the top priority is definitely to prevent these ingredients from escaping; capturing them afterward is no difficulty."
"At this moment, Huang Lao and the Heavenly Family's old ancestor also frowned, watching all this from not far away."
