Chapter 999: line with translation of chapter title

The demon race completely failed to notice the problem, and at the Demon God's single order, a dark, surging mass rushed into the Demon Cave.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the Demon Cave, many Human Race cultivators who had been waiting who knows how long suddenly had their eyes light up.

Earlier, the Demon Cave had erupted with a fluctuation stronger than before; it was obvious that this batch of Demon Race Food Material was not small.

It seems the earlier reconnaissance had ended, and the demon race finally took the bait.

Upon seeing this scene, the elders of Yun Xiantai and others were overjoyed beyond restraint.

Good, good, good, finally we've damn hooked them.

But just as his words fell, a Human Race cultivator beside him whispered a reminder.

Shh, elders, don't let the effort go to waste; now more than ever we need to stay steady.

Huh???

The smile that had just bloomed on their faces instantly froze with those words, and the several Yun Xiantai elders couldn't help cursing in their hearts.

Damn these wretches, really thinking that learning a bit of superficial skill makes them impressive?

Alright, they really are impressive, at least in the art of concealment, these elders have already been surpassed.

The more I think about it, the more I regret it—why did I happen to be lazy just then?

Not having followed the crowd to learn the concealment technique, now it's turned out that from start to finish, these elders have become a negative example.

At this age, they've lost all face.

They gritted their teeth and kept silent, but their faces were extremely grim; at the same time, a large batch of Demon Race Food Material indeed rushed out of the Demon Cave.

Make a move?

At this moment, the elders of Yun Xiantai and others dared not speak casually, for who knew if what they said was right or wrong; better to preserve a little of this old face.

The elders could only turn their gazes to the surrounding people, while the many Human Race cultivators, upon seeing the numerous Demon Race Food Material rushing out of the Demon Cave, still had faces as calm as an ancient well.

They showed no sign of surprise, nor any intention to act hastily.

For now, the Demon Race Food Material hasn't all come out yet; wait a bit longer, don't scare away the main force behind.

And because of the earlier reconnaissance, these Demon Race Food Material were completely overconfident, utterly unaware that danger lay right before them.

As the last Demon Race Food Material charged out of the Demon Cave, the Human Race side, which had been restraining itself for a while, finally moved to action.

Qi Xiong rose to his feet and immediately shouted angrily.

Brothers, rush forward, collect the Demon Race Food Material.

With a roar, Human Race cultivators from all directions suddenly appeared.

Concealment means being still as a mountain, moving like thunder.

The demon race had no time to react as the Human Race already charged up close; upon seeing this, the Yun Xiantai elders and others also immediately rushed to face the multitude of Demon Gods.

Damn, we've finally made a move—almost gave their old bones a fatal choke.

With a belly full of resentment, they naturally vented it all onto the heads of the many Demon Gods.

Roar............ (Damn, why is there a Human Race ambush?)

Seeing so many Human Race cultivators suddenly appear, the multitude of Demon Gods showed expressions of shock.

Wasn't there reconnaissance before? Why is there still a Human Race ambush? How did those useless underlings of Bo Bo Ke conduct their reconnaissance?

Their hearts were filled with terror, but now they've forgotten what to say.

When the Human Race moved to act, their first reaction was naturally to block the retreat, giving these Demon Race Food Material no chance to escape.

Surround them, surround them.

Move, move.

Quick, block the Demon Cave.

The actions were quite swift, and basically no command was needed; after fighting the demon race for so long, the Human Race had also gained experience.

Everyone knew exactly what to do and how to do it.

Moreover, because the control of Demon Race Food Material has been unusually strict lately, most people have practically been out of provisions for a long time.

Now seeing so much Demon Race Food Material right before them, they could no longer restrain themselves, and their attacks became even more vicious.

Damn, this is all Demon Race Food Material—how could they hold back?

Mine, all mine—today I can finally have a full meal.

I want to eat ten bowls.

Don't damn talk nonsense, hurry up and tie them up.

It was like a group of people who had wandered in the desert for a long time, suddenly seeing a water source, their eyes instantly turning red.

One by one, they howled and charged forward.

The craving for Demon Race Food Material caused the strength of many Human Race cultivators to increase out of thin air.

On the demon race side, they were basically dazed after a single encounter.

There were reasons for being ambushed, and also reasons for the Human Race's power surging.

These demon race just couldn't understand how the Human Race's strength suddenly became so strong—had they taken chicken blood?

Before, when fighting the Human Race, it wasn't like this—although a bit sinister, their strength just wasn't right.

The demon race obviously didn't realize that over this span of a few months, by conjuring up all sorts of frivolous things, they had caused many Human Race cultivators to completely run out of provisions.

Moreover, the stored Demon Race Food Material had already been exhausted long ago; without replenishment, there would truly be none left.

After such a long time without obtaining fresh Demon Race Food Material, they finally got a chance—damn, they should be soaring right on the spot!

Looking at these Demon Race Food Material before their eyes, it was just like looking at treasure.

Here at the Demon Cave, the fierce battle was in full swing; all five Demon Caves were like this—the Demon Race Food Material had just appeared, and instantly been surrounded by the Human Race.

Everyone's eyes gleamed with excitement, each one thrilled beyond measure; on the contrary, inside the Tianhong Guan at the rear.

A small portion of Human Race cultivators had remained on guard all along, and according to the earlier discussion, those on‑guard Human Race cultivators needed to rotate.

It just so happens that this time it's the turn of Dao Yi Shengdi; as the hall master of the Law Enforcement Hall who is the Second Elder, Shi Song, it just so happens to be his turn.

That would be fine, but damn, why did we run out of supplies as soon as we got to Tianhong Guan?

Exactly, just as Shi Song arrived at Tianhong Guan, the front-line garrison sent word that supplies were tight and Tianhong Guan's provisions could not be guaranteed.

Good grief, from then on Shi Song stood on the city wall every day, gazing into the distance, his eyes filled with expectation, disappointment, sorrow and all sorts of expressions.

How he wished to see a sign of the supplies, but alas, day after day, there was not a damn sign.

"Second Elder, forget it, the front-line garrison says there are no supplies, and the Demon Race has been very cautious lately; we should just go back."

The steward beside him tried to persuade him, but as soon as he finished speaking, Shi Song shouted back in anger.

"How the hell did this happen, we can't even get a bit of supplies? If you can't do it, let me go up—get me some supplies for this Tianhong Guan, what the hell is going on?"

Shi Song was really angry; right now we can't even talk about having a meal—our dry rations have run out.

The main reason is that everyone had gotten used to eating Demon Race provisions and looked down on Yao Race supplies, so they hadn't prepared any.

Now things are great—Ye Zhangqing's side can't produce any dry rations either; with no supplies, what can we do? Even a clever wife can't cook without rice.

Shi Song stood on the city wall like a stone statue waiting for her husband, often standing there all day; to hear of it breaks the heart, to see it brings tears.
