Chapter 2543: Junior Brother, Familiar or Not?

Like Huang Lao, the Heavenly Family Old Ancestor, and these few Present Era's Strongest, eating naturally doesn't require queuing.

This privilege still exists.

So, after eating and drinking their fill, the two also came to the outer perimeter to take a look.

They happened to see the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons coming to deliver warmth, but these two consecutive waves of warmth, with such a short interval, both sensed something was off.

After all, even if the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons are brainless, they wouldn't go to this extent, right?

Could it be that the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons think this method can defeat them? Or perhaps they want to exhaust the Human Race side this way?

But this is fundamentally not exhaustion; it's delivering warmth.

"The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons' behavior is rather strange."

"Do you even need to say that?"

Everyone could see it, but earlier they were busy preparing ingredients, so no one looked into it further.

However, even with Huang Lao and the Heavenly Family Old Ancestor's experience, facing this divine move by the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons left them momentarily unable to comprehend.

What exactly are they trying to achieve by doing this? Thinking it over, there seems to be no benefit at all.

Precisely because of that, the two found it strange and couldn't figure it out.

Watching this batch of Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon ingredients being easily captured, the group of Human Race cultivators happily carried the ingredients to the Fire Room, preparing to queue for a meal.

Huang Lao and the Heavenly Family Old Ancestor also couldn't figure out the reason.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons at the entrance became even more puzzled.

They still hadn't activated Mìfǎ, and not a single one had done so, which was completely different from before.

"Our plan is probably eighty percent discovered by the Human Race, after all, the Human Race is naturally quite scheming."

"Perhaps."

Clearly everything was going smoothly with the plan, but unfortunately a problem arose at the final moment.

Even if one doesn't want to admit it, this is the only explanation that makes sense.

Since the plan has been exposed, the few Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons at the entrance momentarily didn't know whether to continue or how.

After all, if the Human Race doesn't activate Mìfǎ, sending cannon fodder to lure them would be utterly meaningless.

In the end, it would only be a pointless sacrifice.

Thinking this through, one of the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons said helplessly.

"Let's inform the Demon God of the situation and let the Demon God decide."

"Good."

"That's all we can do."

The several Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons nodded, and immediately the message quickly reached the depths of the Mining Domain, into the Demon God's ears.

Upon learning that its plan had been seen through by the Human Race, this Demon God first froze, then laughed.

"Haha, these Human Race folks aren't stupid; they actually managed to see through this Demon God's plan."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child beside them had a strange expression but dared not speak further.

He can barely protect himself now; how could he possibly say more?

But as things have developed to this point, he feels that something is off everywhere.

Moreover, this Demon God's plan—is that even a plan? It's simply crude beyond belief.

Given his understanding of the Human Race, even those half-grown Human Race brats could probably sense something wrong.

So, having seen through your so-called plan, what's there to say? Not noticing the problem would be strange.

But what does it mean that the Human Race is activating Mìfǎ? This is the one point the Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child can't figure out.

After all, there's no need to activate this Mìfǎ; the Human Race's Mìfǎ are usually trump cards kept at the bottom of the box.

Merely for his own life, this Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child ultimately chose to stay silent, letting the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons figure it out themselves.

However, after the Demon God finished speaking, he turned his head and glanced at that spirit child, then laughed.

"What do you think the Human Race is doing this for?"

Huh???

Suddenly asked, the spirit child startled, then respectfully replied.

"Replying to the Demon God, this junior is dull and unaware of the deeper meaning."

"Hah, indeed foolish."

Huh???

Upon hearing that, the spirit child only felt a pang in his heart, "You damn well, who are you insulting?"

Being called foolish by an Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon is nothing short of a tremendous disgrace; among the races Beyond the Heavens, is there any stupider than you Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons?

You lot are basically unevolved.

But these words, the spirit child clearly dares not utter them; under the eaves, one must lower one's head.

Fortunately, the Demon God then didn't press further, merely telling his subordinates before him.

"Let the Human Race notice, after all I never thought it would be this easy to capture these Human Race folks."

"Earlier, quite a few Human Race cultivators had already deployed Mìfǎ; although it fell short of expectations, it was enough—send the orders, prepare a counterattack, and strike the Human Race off guard."

Having been noticed, however, the number of Human Race cultivators who had earlier activated Mìfǎ was not small.

It's not completely useless either; given the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons' simple minds, what comes next is quite simple.

Since the plan is useless, just charge straight in.

Wasn't it the same when dealing with the Human Race before? Moreover, this time we also employed a stratagem that had some effect—there's no reason it should fail.

Hearing this, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon below also didn't think much, immediately nodded in agreement, and went down to make arrangements.

In the field, only this Heavenly Spirit Tribe spirit child felt a mix of emotions; he suddenly felt regret for having come here.

Can these Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons really act? Anyway, in his view, those human cultivators definitely have a problem.

Who randomly casts a secret technique like that? This isn't messing around.

But unfortunately, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon obviously won't listen to his opinion, so for now it's better to speak less; being mute isn't bad either.

The Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon side began preparing a counterattack, catching the human race off guard.

More and more Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons began to gather toward the entrance.

Moreover, without warmth, the human side felt strange and also lacked enthusiasm.

Furthermore, with the rapid consumption of ingredients, the prelude to entering the Mining Domain quickly came to an end.

After we storm into the Mining Domain, then we can start the main feast; only then will we truly enjoy eating to our heart's content, letting loose our bellies.

The Fire Room was unusually idle; with nothing to do, Ye Zhangqing and Xu Jie also came to the entrance of the Heavenly Crystal Mine to have a look.

Looking at the distant entrance of the Mining Domain, Xu Jie said with a smile.

"Junior Brother, don't you have a familiar feeling?"

Huh???

Upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing suddenly recalled the time in the lower realm when the Dao Yi Sect was still the Dao Yi Sect; in Dongzhou, he and his fellow brothers and sisters from the Sect, together with everyone in the Sect, were on the shore of the East Sea, dealing with those demonic beasts.

That was the first time Ye Zhangqing went to the battlefield with his Sect brothers and sisters.

That battle is still fresh in memory, after all it was the first time.

Moreover, right now this Mining Domain entrance seems indeed somewhat similar to the seal that was on the East Sea shore back then.

But back then, everyone seemed to be playing hand‑fishing law enforcement, those fish hooks were flung until they sparked fire.

At this moment, hearing Xu Jie's words, Ye Zhangqing turned his head dubiously and said.

"Xu Lao San, you wouldn't be thinking again… this isn't Dongzhou, this is Beyond the Heavens."
