Chapter 957: Discovering Top-tier Ingredients

At Tianhong Guan, the human race had already taken up defensive positions, with a host of emperor ancestors standing atop the tall city walls of Tianhong Guan.

"A bunch of bastards, still playing tricks at this time."

Bai Zu of the Yunluo Holy Land snapped angrily, "It's been several days already, and none of the races have shown any reaction—they're clearly just waiting to laugh at us."

Upon hearing that, Shi Qingfeng and those from Yun Xiantai spoke up in turn.

"This isn't normal; everyone originally had their own hidden agendas."

"Saying this now is useless; first we must block the demon race."

"This battle won't be easy."

Whether we can block the demon race and hold Tianhong Guan—frankly, nobody has confidence, after all, the demon race's ferocity is infamous.

Not only the various emperor ancestors, Hong Zun, Bai Hua Xianzi, Jue Ying, and Ye Zhangqing, but everyone else also stood on the city wall.

From afar, vague silhouettes of the demon race could already be seen.

They blotted out the sky and covered the sun; their sheer number made one's scalp go numb.

"My lord, do you think we can hold them off?"

Faced with the oncoming demon race, even Bai Hua Xianzi and Jue Ying lacked confidence; both women asked with solemn expressions.

In response, Ye Zhangqing looked at the two women and forced a lighthearted smile.

"No matter what, we've always been together."

At this moment, nobody had any confidence; no one could guarantee they could stop the demon race, but even if they died in battle, they could not retreat a single step.

Hearing Ye Zhangqing's words, the two women nodded heavily; even if they died in battle, they wanted to stay with their husband.

Under everyone's gaze, the demon race drew nearer, dense and endless, with no visible edge—and this was likely only a small part of them.

Even the demon race that has descended upon Haotu Shijie is probably just the vanguard; more of them remain on the other side of the Demon Cave.

Facing the demon race, which was like a tide and whose numbers were unknown, everyone furrowed their brows.

One could already faintly make out the appearance of this evil demon race.

They resembled beasts, somewhat like the monster race, but looked even more ferocious.

Although their size wasn't as exaggerated as the monster race's, they could blot out the sky at a moment's notice, yet the aura surrounding them was even more terrifying than that of the monster race.

"Is this the demon race?"

Unlike the others, as he watched the demon race draw nearer, Ye Zhangqing's eyes were full of suspicion.

"What the hell, is this the demon race? It's completely unlike what I imagined—hell, isn't this just the animal encyclopedia from my past life?"

The appearance and features of the demon race before him matched various animals from his past life quite well.

"Chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, and even souls............"

"What the hell do you call this the demon race?"

However, looking at everyone's expressions around, it's obvious this really is the demon race—just, what the hell, is your appearance a bit too random?

Even more random than the monster race.

If we say, some clans in the monster race have appearances that are somewhat close to the various animals from Ye Zhangqing's past life.

Then the demon race may not be exactly the same, but there's hardly any difference at all.

If you don't count that overwhelming demonic aura, hell, aren't they just a bunch of animals?

Watching the oncoming demon race, Ye Zhangqing suddenly recalled a classic line in his mind.

"It's once again the time of the great annual animal migration on the vast, endless plains, with various wildebeest, zebras................"

"Damn, the originally tense mood, upon seeing the demon race, Ye Zhangqing really couldn't hold back."

"What the hell, is this the demon race, extremely ferocious and terrifying enough to make one lose courage at the mere news?"

But others don't know this; facing the invading demon race, each of them is like facing a great enemy, ready to strike at any moment.

Just then, Ye Zhangqing's mind, the long-inactive Dog System, finally bubbled up.

"Top-tier ingredients detected; the same cooking method yields a stronger effect, extremely precious."

"Huh???"

"Ingredients? Where the hell are there ingredients? Right in front of me there's only................ wait................"

Ye Zhangqing stared at the demon race before him, sinking into deep thought, so the system's meaning was: are these demon races before him more perfect ingredients than the monster race?

You should know, the top-tier ingredients rated by the system had only appeared before during system rewards.

For example, like those few times when the top ten banquet draws were held.

Even monster emperor ingredients had never reached the top-tier rating in the system.

But now, these demon races before our eyes, regardless of their strength, the system actually rates them as top-tier?

In other words, at the same realm and strength, this demon race is better than the monster race?

In an instant, Ye Zhangqing's gaze shifted again—this looks promising.

Moreover, for Ye Zhangqing, eating demon race carries even less psychological burden than eating monster race.

"Hell, this isn't just the ingredients from my past life? No difference at all, and even their builds are about the same."

Eating monster race might still be a bit strange, but eating demon race? Hell, it's just like eating roasted chicken or roasted pig—one bite each.

Roar.......... Just as Ye Zhangqing was thinking that, several demon gods appeared outside Tianhong Guan from within the demon race.

They are.......... a bald-headed big fire chicken? A plump white little fragrant pig? And a clueless-looking overturned car fish?

Seeing these legendary demon gods, Ye Zhangqing was dumbfounded, but the others were like facing a great enemy.

And as the three demon gods appeared, they continuously let out roars from their mouths.

"Kek kek kek.........."

"Heng heng heng.........."

In an instant, Ye Zhangqing went numb—hell, the feeling isn't just that they look alike, even their cries are the same? It's just that the volume is a bit louder.

This fucking is a demon tribe?

"Sure enough, it's the demon tribe; even their voices are so strange, everyone get ready."

Beside them, Hong Zun, Shi Song, and the others had already each taken out their Divine Weapons, ready to strike at any moment.

Only Ye Zhangqing stared dumbfounded at the three demon gods, unable to help wanting to roar.

You fucking call this a strange voice? This fucking is just ordinary chicken and pig noises, right? And there's even a fucking ocean sunfish that can't even make a sound.

This fucking is a demon god?

Well, judging from the overwhelming tacit understanding emanating from them, they are indeed not ordinary poultry.

Just........ this fucking isn't right either.

Demon tribe, bro, shouldn't they be the kind that's super ferocious, super brutal, with green faces and fangs, making one's blood run cold at a glance?

What the fuck, you brought a bunch of ingredients over for what? Even the system rates them as top‑grade ingredients.

This demon tribe is way too unrigorous, huh?

Speaking of who lacks the most tension on scene, it's probably Ye Zhangqing.

There's no way, and it's not that I intentionally want to ruin this tense atmosphere, but faced with a chicken, a small fragrant pig, and an ocean sunfish, Ye Zhangqing just can't get tense.

Do we have to be this tense?

Moreover, the key point is, these demon tribes fucking can't even speak human language; this fucking is just a pile of genuine ingredients, right?

"Here we go, everyone attack."

Just as Ye Zhangqing was filled with mixed feelings, the demon tribe launched an attack.
