Chapter 993: line with translation of chapter title

Watching this Demon Race Food Material glancing left and right, Hong Zun and Qing Shi were both dazed.

Damn, is this a demon race? It's become so lewd.

But right now the two also didn't dare act rashly, after all they only came across this skinny monkey; even if they caught it, it wouldn't be interesting.

All together, there isn't even a few pounds of meat on its whole body.

Just as the two were puzzled, suddenly, this Demon Race Food Material turned its gaze over.

"Holy shit... old drunkard, it won't discover us, will it?"

"How could it be possible..."

Upon hearing that, Hong Zun's instinctive reaction was that it's impossible; what is a demon race? That's just a bunch of brutes.

At first, even the damned guards wouldn't arrange such brutes; you say it could discover what?

But before Hong Zun could finish speaking, suddenly, this demon race let out a sharp cry.

「Eh eh eh............... 」

The roar was also different from other demon races, even sharper, just... just damn like a monkey's cry.

Seeing this, Hong Zun and Qing Shi became even more dazed, what does it mean?

But before the two could react, they saw this demon race directly turn and run back to the Demon Cave, without any hesitation.

"Have we been discovered?"

Seeing this, Qing Shi muttered with a complex expression.

This damn clearly means we've been discovered; just why were we discovered? Also, is this damn thing still a demon race?

As this demon race ran off in a puff of smoke, the Demon Cave returned to tranquility, with no movement.

Not long after, when Yun Xiantai and the large troops arrived, looking at the peaceful surroundings and the unmoving Demon Cave, they gasped.

"Where's the food material? Didn't you bring food material?"

"It came, but it ran away."

"It ran away?"

Immediately, the two told Yun Xiantai and others the truth about what happened earlier.

After hearing Hong Zun and Qing Shi's words, Yun Xiantai and the great emperor ancestors were also stunned; this doesn't sound like a demon race at all.

But what the two said are facts; that demon race indeed ran away.

The effort fell short; we made a trip for nothing.

Everyone was extremely depressed; they originally thought this might just be a coincidence, that skinny monkey probably just accidentally stumbled into the Demon Cave, not part of the demon race's attack plan.

But what nobody expected was that over the next few days, at the five Demon Caves, demon races appeared every day.

But each time there were only one or two, and their builds were extremely skinny.

Moreover, they were sneaky, monkey-like; at the slightest disturbance, they'd immediately slip away.

The Human Race basically had no chance.

Moreover, repeatedly the demon race appeared, then the great emperor ancestors brought the large troops rushing over, but each time they ended up empty-handed, having gotten excited for nothing.

After several repetitions, the great emperor ancestors were completely furious.

"Damn, what are these demon races trying to do?"

"I'll eventually kill them."

There's an inexplicable feeling of being toyed with, really unpleasant.

But there's nothing we can do; the Human Race cannot enter the Demon Cave.

That's besides the point; for a month we haven't harvested any food material, and now the demon race food material is running low.

That day after dinner, the three leaders of the Spirit Chef Alliance found Ye Zhangqing, looking troubled.

"Food Ancestor."

"What's wrong? Your face looks so awful."

"The food material is almost gone."

"Huh??? Haven't you gotten any food material lately?"

"No, it's been a month since any food material was delivered."

Ye Zhangqing usually doesn't pay much attention to food material matters; it's managed by the three leaders. Upon hearing that the food material was gone, Ye Zhangqing was also stunned.

Given everyone's nature, various methods, and their craving for food material, there shouldn't be a month without obtaining any food material.

After thinking, Ye Zhangqing still sought out Yun Xiantai and the other ancestors.

Probably only Ye Zhangqing has this privilege; wanting to see the great emperor ancestors, he can do so anytime, without needing to report.

He told the ancestors about the food material situation, then asked.

"Have the demon races not appeared recently?"

Upon mentioning the demon races, the ancestors flew into a rage, damn it, they're basically treating us like monkeys.

Each time they just send one or two skinny monkeys over, and they're so cautious; damn, we can't play with them, right?

The ancestors were completely speechless.

And upon hearing about this month's changes in the demon races, Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitched.

"Have the demon races gotten smarter? They even know to send scouts first?"

Anyone with clear eyes can see that those few skinny monkeys are obviously scouts sent by the demon races, their purpose being to determine whether there are ambushes around the Demon Cave.

Otherwise, it'd be like before, where they'd get surrounded as soon as they left the Demon Cave.

"This bunch of dog things, I'll eventually catch them all in one pot."

Stone Green Peak gritted their teeth and cursed, but just then, the Cloud Lotus Shèngzhǔ's Xiǎnyǐng zhèn pán suddenly lit up; after connecting, the other side transmitted sounds of battle, as well as tragic cries for help, and the urgent words of a Great Saint Elder.

"Shèngzhǔ, the demon races suddenly launched a sneak attack; we can't hold them back........."

Demon Caves everywhere have Human Race cultivators monitoring them, but normally their numbers aren't too many.

After all, it's already been a month; the Demon Race has shown no movement, and the Human Race side couldn't possibly have everyone stationed around the Demon Caves every day, right?

But nobody expected that the Demon Race would actually take advantage of this opportunity to launch a sudden attack.

And it looks like they had prepared in advance; otherwise they wouldn't have even had time to call for help.

Upon hearing this, Yunluo Shèngzhǔ's face darkened, and the great emperors and ancestors also rushed to the Demon Cave at once.

The situation was urgent; even though the great emperors and ancestors had already rushed to the rescue as quickly as possible, by the time they arrived the battle had already ended.

Apart from some bloodstains left on the ground, not even a corpse could be found; it is estimated that they were devoured by the Demon Race.

As for any trace of the Demon Race, not a single one was seen.

They probably retreated back to the Demon Cave.

Looking at that Demon Cave, still as calm as an ancient well, as if nothing had happened, the great emperors and ancestors were furious, their teeth itching with anger.

"It's deliberate; these ingredients are definitely deliberate."

"They had planned this all along, intending to use it against us."

The Demon Race's changes left the great emperors and ancestors momentarily caught off guard.

On the other hand, those scrawny monkey-like Demon Race members might have scouting abilities even stronger than they anticipated.

Earlier, it was unlikely that they retreated due to vigilance or because they had any suspicions.

But rather, they truly discovered the Human Race's hiding place.

They simply kept it quiet, quietly returning to the Demon Realm, then devised a counterattack plan, and while the Human Race's main force was absent, they suddenly struck.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have even lacked the time to call for help; it can only be said that the Demon Race had already confirmed the Human Race's hiding place before taking action.

Therefore, the moment they rushed out of the Demon Cave, they chose to attack, leaving no time at all for a reaction.

The ancestors' teeth were chattering; these damn ingredients are about to overturn the heavens?
